Nangong Ruyue was provoked, her emotions changed dramatically.

"Very well, you all really are very good!"

With that, she strode inside—

The head of the bodyguards didn’t know what she was going to do and hurriedly followed.

"Madam, what are you going to do?"

"Get out of the way—"

"Madam, I said it already, the person is not with us!"

Nangong Ruyue’s face was full of disbelief.

The leader of the bodyguards didn’t dare to really stop her and could only take a few people to follow her.

Stopping outside the intensive care unit, Nangong Ruyue paused.

She sneered at the bodyguards: "What are you nervous about, I’m not doing anything."

"..."

Ignoring them, she approached the glass wall.

Nangong Xu was still lying there, unconscious...

If it weren’t for the beeping of the heart monitor, he would look dead.

Nangong Ruyue stared at him, her face expressionless.

"Nangong Xu, living like this, are you tired?" She asked herself.

"You love power, love mastering everything from the top. Lying here, you must be very tired, right?"

"Because of you, me, Zexin, and Yufei, and Yufei’s two children, we’ve all suffered greatly. Tell me, why are you so hateful?"

The bodyguard next to her frowned, not knowing what she meant by this.

Nangong Ruyue smirked slightly: "Actually, the assassination attempt on you, it was my idea. I just didn’t expect you to be so lucky, not to die. Now that Zexin is dead too, you deserve to die as well!"

A pistol suddenly slid out from her sleeve, Nangong Ruyue raised her hand, and fired quickly at him—

"Bang—"

The bodyguard quickly reacted by pushing her arm away, and the bullet hit the wall.

Her wrist was grabbed, and the gun fell to the ground.

*****************

XX Road.

A long-haired mermaid cradled a water pot, and clear springs flowed from the pot.

Water droplets splashed on the surface of the pool, creating wisps of white mist.

By the fountain stood a man wearing a black top hat.

He was none other than Sang Li.

Sang Li had been standing there, watching from side to side, never leaving.

It was already four or five in the afternoon.

Sang Li had patiently waited for several hours.

He glanced at his watch, cursing inwardly at the other’s delay.

But he hadn’t completed his task, so he couldn’t leave no matter what.

Just as he was getting impatient, a boy of about four or five walked toward him.

The boy had blond hair and blue eyes, with a chubby white face and a plump right hand holding a giant ice cream cone, eating as he walked toward him.

With years of experience, Sang Li knew the boy was here to deliver a message.

Sang Li smiled and stared at him without blinking.

The boy was also looking at him, probably too focused on eating, he suddenly tripped over the green stone slab on the ground, falling clumsily—

And his newly bought ice cream cone flew more than a meter away, shattering with a splat!

A few puppies ran over to fight over the food on the ground.

Boy: "..."

Sang Li: "..."

seconds passed—

The boy was still lying on the ground, his big eyes watching the puppies.

His ice cream had been eaten by the puppies...

The boy’s eyes instantly filled with tears.

Sang Li was conflicted about whether to go over and help him up.

Fortunately, the boy quickly got up on his own.

"The dogs ate my ice cream." He said, sucking his fingers and looking at Sang Li with grievance.

Sang Li chuckled and said, "Ask your dad to buy you another one."
