Chapter 162: Same Day Last Year

A year later, Jiangcheng.

Su Mian is standing in the office staring out the window at the misty rain.  It’s already autumn, but the rain has been coming down even more frequently, like a grey screen blanketing Jiangcheng.

Her arms are feeling sore.  She rubs them a bit and twitches her mouth into a smile.  It hurts.

The pain always makes her recall certain memories.  They’re like maggots inside her body; can’t get rid of them or bury them. Read more

Chapter 161: After Love

The first thing Chatterbox sees after waking up is the fire around them and then the smoke stinging his nose.  He lets out a few coughs and pushes away the broken seat lying on top of his body.

He’s alive.  He’s actually alive.  He feels delighted in his heart.

“Boom!” a loud sound numbs his ears.  He turns around and sees that one of the train carts has exploded into pieces.  He quickly gets up from the ground in fright. The sound of the explosion continues.  Even if he doesn’t die this second, he might in the next. Read more

Chapter 160: The Spirit of the Police Shield

In the quietness, only one person is stumbling while getting up from the ground using a gun for support.

Su Mian watches him, staring at the wound in his chest.  She lowers her head suddenly and starts searching the couch, coffee table, and desks frantically.  Although the chances are slim, she still wants to try and find the key, find a way out, and go to him immediately.

But what Han Chen can’t see and Su Mian doesn’t notice is that A, who’s lying on the ground, is slowly closing his eyes.  It’s as if he’s talking in his sleep, he murmurs a bunch of nonsense. Read more

Chapter 159: Meeting Death Today

Not far away, R is fully concentrated on the monitors.  He takes out a gun and seems to be getting ready to go outside.

Su Mian has been making progress quietly.  Both of her hands have been freed from the rope.  Her left arm is under severe pain. She can only grab onto the chair behind her with her right hand.

R puts down his cigarette and is about to get up.

They’re not far from each other.  Like a crouching beast, Su Mian grabs onto the wooden chair and swings it toward the back of his head! Read more

Chapter 158: What She Wants Part 2

It’s near.

It’s very near.

Stepping on the rugged path, A licks his lips without anyone noticing.

The secret room is just ahead.  It’s just that form the outside, its location cannot be seen.  And in a few steps more, it’s where he has planted the bombs and within R’s area of surveillance.

But how can he detonate them without hurting Xu Si Bai?  That’s the big question.

He lowers his head and looks at the three shadows on the ground.  Probably because the path is becoming narrow, Xu Si Bai is walking behind Han Chen about one to two steps back.  That’s just enough room for R to detonate the bombs precisely. Read more

Chapter 157: What She Wants Part 1

L can feel the coolness of steel from the mouth of the gun against his temple as he gets up from the ground.  In the dimly lit area, he can see Han Chen’s face stiff like a statue. His expression is hard to read.

L stands straight feeling a bit helpless.  He raises his head and looks around quickly.  Underneath his feet is wet mud. They are standing in a dark and forest-like area; it’s quiet all around.

And Han Chen is just too fierce.  Even in the dark, you can sense his aura.

With Han Chen’s gun against his head, L takes a few steps forward and says nonchalantly, “How did you know that I’m L?” Read more

Chapter 156: Cold Like Snow

The three of them look at each other in silence.  R is the first to raise his hand to cover his eyes.  But he lowers it immediately. Su Mian hears him take a breath, and then walk toward Xu Si Bai.

“S, welcome back,” he says.

It’s a very casual greeting, but it stings Su Mian’s ears.  She lifts her head and watches them quietly. R has already spread out his arms to hug Xu Si Bai.  And Xu Si Bai pauses for a second before hugging him back.

After a brief moment, they let go.  Xu Si Bai’s eyes stop on her face. Read more

Chapter 155: King of Guilt

“A few years later when I came back from abroad, Han Chen was already at your side,” his voice is like flowing water, but he says these words very quietly.

Su Mian can’t really imagine what his feelings would be like after growing up from a young boy into a young man.

Perhaps only sorrow is left in the grown-up young boy.

Or perhaps, it’s the beginning of intertwining darkness and light.

The one she loves is the most honest and purest man.

As for him, he stands in the deep end of darkness; the young king of crimes. Read more

Chapter 154: Never Grief

Su Mian has imagined it many times on her and S meeting again.  But now that it really happens, it turns out that the emotions rushing into her heart the most is not hatred or disgust.  It’s the overwhelming feeling of sadness and loneliness.

“This is the safe house,” he says softly.  The contours of his face are half in the light and half in the dark, “There are a few rooms, and there are some survival necessities in the storage.  Even if the levels above collapse, we’ll be okay. Wait until everything is over and then we’ll leave.” Read more

Chapter 153: Long Time No See

Xu Si Bai is leaning against the wall with a gun in his hand as he pants.

He can feel the cold metal against his palm.  From his memory, this is the first time he is holding a gun toward another person.

He waits calmly.

Just now, after splitting up with Su Mian and the others, Ding Jun was feeling a lot of pain from his leg and could only stay there to rest.  After he and Zhang Fu Cai rescued two others, probably because he looked skinny and like a gentleman, the other three immediately turned against him and surrounded him.
