My world is filled with killing, there’s nothing but killing, like stagnant water that can’t stand the slightest ripple.
I suddenly realized that I detested such a life, and the appearance of this woman made discover that life could have so aning. If I dealt with her the sa way I handled enemies, it would be too much of a waste.
Many years later, every ti I recall the scene of Lin Yixun being brutally torn apart by the German Shepherd, I shudder. I can’t help but feel fortunate that I spared her because of her uniqueness.
Not only did I spare her life, but I also sent her to Carnegie llon.
Chu Feng once asked why I did this. I rely smiled and said nothing. I didn’t spare her out of rcy, but because she was a special existence. I wanted to see what kind of person she would beco in the future.
I provided her with the biggest stage to showcase her talents, and she did not disappoint . She was not only gifted but also hardworking. Every morning, she woke up at six on the dot, and she only left the library when it closed at night.
"I wondered why you kept going to the United States for no reason. Turns out, it was because of her." Chu Feng lazily glanced at the woman walking away in the distance.
"What does my whereabouts have to do with you?" I shot him a sideways glance.
"Of course it matters. After all, we are good brothers who have lived and died together for many years. Your business is my business." Chu Feng suddenly leaned closer to and asked slyly, "You wouldn’t happen to have feelings for her, would you?"
My heart felt a violent jolt, but my expression grew colder, and I gritted my teeth, "Are you really that idle lately?"
Having worked with for so long, Chu Feng naturally knew this was a sign of my impending outburst. He quickly jumped away, "No, no, no, I still want to enjoy a few more days of peace. Alright, I’m leaving. See you later."
Just before leaving, Chu Feng suddenly wiped away his mischievous grin, patted on the shoulder, and said seriously, "Actually, that woman is quite attractive. If you’re really interested, why not go after her? After all... you’ve been living like a monk for so many years, it’s about ti you tasted so at."
Chu Feng left before I could respond.
After Chu Feng left, the driver in the front seat murmured, "Boss, I think Young Master Chu made a good point."
Seeing my face grow even colder, the driver imdiately fell silent. Everything seed to return to normal, but Chu Feng’s words kept echoing in my mind. Chu Feng was right; I was indeed a bit interested in this woman.
However, my interest remained purely at that level.
Diligent and talented, she quickly beca the most outstanding student at Carnegie. But it was at this ti that one of my trusted n was captured by the Arican police and was being interrogated.
As my confidant, he knew many secrets of the Fei Family, so of which could be deadly for us.
Through an informant, we learned that he was being held in a prison in California, a facility known for housing high-risk inmates. Rescuing him by storm would require a massive amount of manpower and resources and was very likely to fail. Just when I was at my wit’s end, a subordinate suggested using a hacker to breach the obstacles.
A hacker?
I couldn’t help but think of her. I figured it was ti for her to fulfill the promise she made back then.
"You want to help you break soone out of prison?" A woman’s shocked voice ca from the other end of the phone.
"You could put it that way."
"Can I refuse?"
"You have no choice."
There was a brief silence on the other end, then she spoke, "Alright, I agree. But before that, you need to promise sothing."
"What is it? Speak."
"I want to know who I really am before I die."
"No problem."
Actually, upon hearing her request, I hesitated, considering whether or not to drag her into my world. In the end, I still exploited her hacking skills.
I silently reminded myself that I spared her originally to see if she’d be useful to . I’m not a good person; I don’t spare soone for no reason.
As promised, before the operation, I had soone investigate her past. It wasn’t hard to uncover her identity, but what shocked was her history.
Finally, I personally went to the United States and handed her a file.
As she took the file from , I couldn’t help but remind her.
"Your past is all in here, but if knowing the past will make you wish you were dead, do you still want to know?"
I saw her calm facade crack instantly, and after a long silence, I heard her voice quietly ask, "Are my parents still alive?"
I hesitated for a mont, then shook my head.
The light in her eyes dimd significantly, and she rigidly curled her lips, "How did they die?"
She was smart enough to guess her parents did not die naturally; after all, they were still quite young.
I gave her a deep look, "You don’t want to know."
"Since it’s like that, there’s no need to learn more."
I was about to tell her she had a daughter when I saw her deftly toss the file into the trash can.
Seeing this, I swallowed back the words I was about to say.
Maybe knowing she had a daughter would not be a good thing for her.
After that, I laid out the detailed plan for the operation for her. Before I left, she said to , "I’m a law-abiding citizen, and I’m quite timid. Next ti, could you not make do this sort of thing?"
I paused, then nodded, "Alright."
She was indeed an outstanding hacker. After much effort, she finally breached the surveillance and defense systems of the California prison. With our people assisting from the inside, we eventually rescued the person I needed to save.
Only, when she was about to retreat, she was almost captured by the Arican police. Although she escaped in the end, she was injured.
When I heard she was injured, I actually felt a bit of regret for sending her on this mission. This was the first ti Feng Chengyu regretted a decision he made.
As for why I regretted it, that’s an answer I did not want to touch upon.
Upon learning of her injury, I rushed to the United States overnight. The surgery was perford by a renowned surgeon in his clinic to avoid unnecessary trouble.
When I arrived at the clinic, the surgery was already over, but she was still unconscious from the anesthesia.
My gaze fell on her pale cheeks, I couldn’t help but reach out my hand, but I froze in mid-air and slowly pulled back.
I smiled self-mockingly. What was I doing?
