Dark clouds rolled in, and a round, bright moon hung high in the sky. In just a few seconds, it was dyed blood - red. The fishing village by the sea was gradually enveloped in a bloody haze. Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.
"Awwww..." Xie Bingxia curled up into a ball. A fire raged within her body, as if it were going to burn her to ashes. This feeling was all too familiar.
"Li Yishan!" Gu Bei held Xie Bingxia in his arms and roared again, "Speak!"
"Hahaha!" Li Yishan burst into laughter. "A single sedative can make her suffer so much. It's really interesting!"
"Ugh!" Xie Bingxia instinctively tore at her clothes, yearning for even a bit of cold air in the air to soothe herself. When she touched Gu Bei's cool hand, she jerked away as if electrocuted.
"No... don't..." She struggled to escape from Gu Bei's embrace. She didn't want to expose her true self in front of him. The more she tried to escape, the tighter Gu Bei held her.
Gu Bei gently stroked her sweaty forehead and pressed his cheek against her flushed one. "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. I'll always be with you. Even if it means death, we'll be together."
"Aw, how touching!" Vincent sighed. "It seems you'll never be able to come between them."
"Shut up!" Li Yishan went crazy. The knife in her hand moved a bit closer, but she couldn't help but glance at what Gu Bei and Xie Bingxia were doing.
Vincent knew the time was right. A long, thin object slid out from his left sleeve and he stabbed Li Yishan's thigh.
"Ah—" Li Yishan was hit. As soon as she left the protection of Vincent's figure, several bullets were fired at her. She rolled on the ground and then, after stabilizing herself, looked down to see blood gushing from her left leg. The bullet wound on her left shoulder burst open, and her whole left side was covered in blood.
Vincent waved his hand to stop his subordinates. He dusted off his coat and walked over to slap Li Yishan. The slap was extremely hard. Li Yishan's left cheek immediately swelled up, and blood oozed from the corner of her mouth. She covered her face but still glared at Vincent defiantly, refusing to admit defeat.
Vincent's eyes swept down. Under Li Yishan's torn coat, the black scorpion tattoo that should have been on her waist had disappeared. The coldness in his eyes intensified.
This bitch! When did she remove the organization's mark?
"You've been planning to betray me for a long time?"
"Pah!" Li Yishan spat out a mouthful of blood. "I've never cared about you!"
Putting aside the business betrayal, the words "never cared" had touched Vincent's bottom line. He was a real man. How could he swallow this insult?
"Take her away. I'll deal with her later!" Vincent ordered and then turned towards Gu Bei.
"Now it's just the two of us."
Xie Bingxia had fallen into a coma. Her body temperature was rising steadily, and she was breathing more out than in. Gu Bei slumped to the ground dejectedly, his eyes unfocused. Vincent couldn't stand to see him so defeated. This was not the deadly enemy who used to strike fear into his heart!
"Get up!" Vincent grabbed Gu Bei by the collar. "Come on. You've always wanted to fight me. Now's your chance!"
Gu Bei tilted his head, his eyes never leaving Xie Bingxia.
This kind of fight was meaningless! Vincent was filled with anger. He raised his hand to punch Gu Bei hard. Suddenly, a wave of heat rushed in from outside. In an instant, the whole factory was surrounded by flames.
"BOSS!" His subordinates reported in a hurry. "It's on fire outside. Should we retreat first?"
"Get out of here!" Vincent refused to leave easily. He ordered his subordinates, "Go and put out the fire! Don't worry about me!"
"Burn them to death!" "Burn them to death!"
It was Uncle Chen's voice, accompanied by the shouts of a group of locals.
"These outsiders ruined our children!"
"My son died from poisoning while helping to research that damned drug!"
"Burn them to death! Let them be buried with our children!"
Vincent cursed "FUCK" in his heart. They were all savages. This place was no longer safe, but Gu Bei remained unmoved. Was he really going to die with that little girl named Xie?
"Damn it!" Vincent picked up the defenseless Xie Bingxia. The steel needle was still in his hand. He stabbed at Xie Bingxia's forehead. "I'll kill her. Let's see if you move!"
The wind howled. By the time Vincent realized what had happened, he was lying on the ground, coughing up a mouthful of black blood. He had been punched hard by Gu Bei.
Then, Gu Bei flew over and pinned Vincent to the ground. Each punch seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, making Vincent's eyes spin.
"Don't touch her! Don't touch her! Don't touch her!" With each punch came Gu Bei's roar. He had become the fiercest wolf, determined to tear apart all the enemies who had hurt his beloved.
Vincent spat out blood but laughed wildly. "That's right! This is my arch - enemy!"
Gu Bei gasped for breath. The next punch was about to land, only one centimeter away from Vincent's face. Suddenly, he froze.
[Vincent always keeps his confidential information close to his body.]
[No one can get close to him, let alone find out where it is.]
Ethan's words rang in his ears. Gu Bei stared at Vincent with wide - open eyes. Vincent was wondering why Gu Bei had stopped attacking when he heard him stutter, "Your... your left eye. It's a prosthetic eye!"
Vincent suddenly woke up. He kicked Gu Bei away and jumped up. Then he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand. He touched his left eye socket. Had it been damaged just now, which made it detectable?
A few years ago, Vincent had himself have his left eyeball removed and replaced with the most advanced mechanical prosthetic eye. It looked no different from his right eye on the outside. All the top - secret information that passed through his hands would be scanned by this eye and recorded on the corresponding storage device. That's why no one could catch him because no one could get close to him.
"Great," Gu Bei laughed. "You're finished, Vincent. Accept the sanction of the law."
"Dream on!" Vincent roared. "I, Vincent, have never lost!"
"Yah—" A roar came from behind.
Vincent felt a chill on his neck. He instinctively covered it, but the cold potion had already been injected into his body.
"You... it's you!" Vincent turned around and saw Li Yishan staggering. Although she could barely stand, she still laughed at Vincent proudly. "Go to hell!"
A strong sense of dizziness hit his brain, followed by nausea. Vincent foamed at the mouth and his legs gave way. His left knee hit the ground.
"It's impossible. I'm Vincent—"
Bang— The factory door was kicked open. The FBI backup team rushed in. Ethan led the way. As soon as he came in, he quickly went to support Gu Bei. "Sorry to make you suffer. Don't worry. You're safe now."
Gu Bei pointed at the unconscious Vincent on the ground. "His left eye. All the secret information is in his left eye!"
Ethan ordered his men to carry Vincent away. Gu Bei shouted, "Bingxia, where's Bingxia—" But there was no sign of Xie Bingxia in the factory.
"Li Yishan!" Gu Bei realized. "Where is she?"
"Report. A speedboat was spotted on the sea, heading towards international waters!"
"She's taken Bingxia and run away!" Gu Bei jumped up. Without caring that the flames outside had not been completely extinguished, he rushed towards the dock. He randomly picked a boat, started the engine, and chased after the distant shadow in a hurry.
