Chapter 189 Even Professors Confess (35)

The sparks exploded directly in the secret passage, causing screams to erupt, but the fearless crowd still surged in from behind.

"There it is!!"

"Kill them!!!"

"Go go go go go!!!"

Yu Ci hid Chang Le in a corner, covered her with gauze, and then pulled out a dagger to go into the secret passage and fight her head-on.

Almost simultaneously, Yax's teeth turned crimson and bloodshot. He laughed loudly and charged at Xi Huai like an angry bear, grabbing the latter's waist and refusing to let go!
"Let's die together!! My good opponent!!!"

A sharp pain shot through him. Looking down, he saw that the man, who had somehow gotten his hands on iron knuckles, was punching him hard in the waist and abdomen, while holding an old-fashioned pull-out grenade in his hand.

Xi Huai frowned but did not struggle. Instead, he hugged the man tighter, his arm veins bulging as he twisted the man's hand and threw him onto the ground grenade.

"Bang!!!--"

The explosion was muffled, blasting the two men who were pinned above them up and then back down.

"!!" Yu Ci's pupils contracted sharply as she looked at the motionless figure on the ground. She quickly retreated, blocking the entrance to the secret passage with the cabinet, and strode over.

"Xi Huai!" Yu Ci cried out, her voice trembling, as she knelt beside the man and turned him over.

His handsome face was now stained with blood, his eyes were closed, his hands hung limply to the ground, and blood was flowing continuously from his waist and abdomen.

It was blood from small fragments; she could smell it.

Yax, who was beneath the man and closest to the grenade, had been blown apart, his flesh and bones torn apart, and he had long since lost his breath.

Yu Ci's pupils trembled. Vampires do not need a heartbeat or to breathe, but at this moment she felt suffocated from the inside out and her heart was pounding wildly, as if it was about to tear her apart.

Death...?

Can't……

No!
Her trembling hand instinctively reached out to check the man's breath, but the next second, a long, bloodstained hand gripped her tightly.

Yu Ci: "!"

His pale eyes remained gentle yet dark. Xi Huai stared intently at the person before him, his Adam's apple bobbing as he said in a hoarse voice, "I've never said what my name is."

Yu Ci was taken aback.

"K".

With his eyes half-closed, Xi Huai parted his thin lips slightly in the last second before completely losing consciousness:

"Who exactly are you?"

"Bang!!" The door was kicked open, and Yu Ci looked up, her killing intent barely concealed.

Lin Shen, who was the first to be affected, turned pale with fright at the gruesome scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere in the room, and his chest trembled even more when he met those murderous eyes.

"Sister K!" Upon seeing the figure lying on the ground, the fat man exclaimed, "Boss!?"

The monkeys who arrived were also horribly pale. They quickly lifted Xi Huai up, only to find that although the man had clearly fainted, his hand was still tightly gripping Yu Ci.

"Sister K! We have to get out of here!!" the fat man shouted.

Yu Ci forcefully pried the man's hands apart so that the fat man could carry the person away. She unconsciously tossed her hair back, only to find her hands covered in blood afterward.

Yu Ci paused for a few seconds before looking toward the corner as if she remembered something.

Chang Le sat in the corner, trembling, quiet, stiff, and pale-faced, watching her.

"..."

Yu Ci walked over and pulled her up: "Let's go!"

The situation outside was not optimistic either. All the residents seemed to know the source of the fire, the corpses inside the house, and the fighting in the secret passage. For a time, the streets were filled with figures carrying guns and knives.

Yu Ci grabbed Chang Le, and with her other hand she held a dagger, slashing them one by one. She then snatched a gun and fired it mercilessly.

"drive!!"

After finally breaking through the encirclement, a large area was cleared in front of the car to rescue Xi Huai. Everyone organized the rescue in an orderly manner. Yu Ci sat alone in the corner, staring blankly at the man through the gaps in the human wall.

The system dared not utter a sound and could only silently shrink back into its space.

The vehicle quickly shook off its pursuers and drove into the private estate. "Doctor! Doctor!!" Lin Shen shouted at the top of his lungs.

After several people worked together to get the man into the operating room, they all collapsed to the ground as if they had just finished a long run.

Lin Shen's face was ashen, his expression unreadable as he stared at Yu Ci. Before he could even speak, Monkey pulled out a gun and pointed it at Yu Ci: "You son of a bitch!"

"monkey!!"

"Monkey!! Calm down!!"

Yu Ci: "..."

The fat man was still relatively rational; he grabbed the monkey from behind and dragged it away with all his might. Lin Shen disarmed him, and his expression became even more unpleasant.

"It's all because of you, you fucking idiot!!"

The monkey roared with all its might, its eyes bloodshot, "Why do you have to go back?! Why?!"

"Just to save that couple?!"

The monkey's hand trembled violently as it pointed to the two people tightly embracing in the corner.

Ji Ye pursed his thin lips, his eyes red, and knelt down, protecting Chang Le behind him.

"sorry."

The tall, proud man, standing at 1.8 meters, bowed his head and kowtowed, the sound of his head hitting the ground ringing out.

"I'm sorry, if anything happens, I'm willing to give my life for another! Please, please spare Chang Le! I'm willing to do anything, anything at all!"

The man kept kowtowing heavily, leaving red marks on the pristine white floor.

"No, no!" Chang Le's eyes widened, and she knelt down with a thud to stop Ji Ye. She scrambled to the front of the crowd, her eyes blurry with tears, pleading, "It's my fault, I'll give my life for it, it's mine."

"enough!"

The monkey hated these sentimental death commotions the most. He glared at the two men on the ground with hatred in his eyes, "Our boss is dead, none of you will live!!"

"And you too!!" The monkey pointed at Yu Ci, suppressing his anger as he looked at the woman covered in blood.

"You'd better pray that he's alright."

The operating room lights stayed on all night.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief only after news came that Xi Huai's vital signs had stabilized.

Ji Ye and Chang Le were put on a plane back to China by Lin Shen overnight. At the same time, a system notification sounded in their minds—

[Ending Two Achieved: I'll trade my life for yours.]

[Automatically unlocks Wish 4: Do not reveal your assassin identity.]

The system hesitated for a few seconds, then gently added: [Host, you no longer need to hide your identity from the deity.]

Yu Ci: "..."

Should she say thank you?

It was already four in the morning, and everyone hadn't slept all night.

Lin Shen pinched the bridge of his nose wearily, and noticed that the woman's body was still covered in congealed blood. He frowned and said softly, "Go and rest."

Fortunately, the grenade that Yax had picked up from an ancient war era was so old that its destructive power was far less than the original, which is why Xi Huai barely survived.

However, he still suffered considerable injuries, and it's hard to say how long he will be unconscious.

"You're not feeling well, so don't make things worse." Seeing that Yu Ci still wanted to say something, Lin Shen sighed, "Go back."

The fat man beside them watched the two cautiously and said prudently, "Yeah, Sister K... Shall I take you back to rest?"

Yu Ci: "...No need."

He glanced at the closed operating room and said, "I'll walk myself."

Watching the woman's departing figure, Lin Shen closed his eyes and sighed. The fat man and Yang Wen exchanged a glance, then shook their heads and fell silent.

The outermost monkey clenched and unclenched its fist, finally punching the wall with a cracking sound.
