Holding the pregnancy test report in her hand, Su Mingyu opened the door full of joy, only to be greeted by a nauseating sight.
There, in the living room, were her fiancé and her best friend, their naked bodies entangled.
Su Mingyu's face turned ashen, and her anger shot through the roof.
"What the hell are you doing!"
Startled by her shout, the lovebirds on the sofa finally came to their senses.
The man propped himself up briskly, pinning the panicked long - haired woman beneath him. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Mingyu, showing no sign of panic at being caught in the act. "I thought you weren't coming until tonight?"
Su Mingyu hurled the nearly crumpled test report at the man's face. "If I hadn't come early, how could I have witnessed such a wonderful show?"
The man picked up the report casually and glanced at it. A sneer played on his lips as he said, "It's indeed been three months."
Then he tilted up the long - haired woman's fair and dainty chin, planted a kiss on her soft lips, and looked at Su Mingyu contemptuously. "So what?
"There are plenty of women who want to have my baby. Who do you think you are? You're just one of the many agents in 'Underworld Fire'. I can have as many women like you as I want."
Oh...
Su Mingyu scoffed inwardly. This was the man she had loved!
Struggling to control her emotions, Su Mingyu turned on her heel and walked away. Staying here for another second made her feel sick!
Suddenly, a glint of cold steel pressed against her neck. The icy touch made her shiver.
Trickles of fresh blood stained the sharp dagger, but she calmed down instead. "Even the ace killer of 'Underworld Fire' has been sent out. It seems you're determined not to let me go?"
The man snorted and sneered. "If I don't do this, how can I capture you, the second - ranked agent of 'Underworld Fire'?"
After saying that, he scooped up the woman in his arms, made her sit on his lap, and motioned for her to continue.
"Master, I..." The long - haired woman glanced at Su Mingyu hesitantly, a flicker of fear crossing her face.
The man pinched the soft flesh on her waist and jeered, "Don't worry. As long as this dagger is on her neck, she won't dare to make a move."
As the long - haired woman complied, the room was soon filled with a suffocating stench and ear - piercing noises.
Su Mingyu dug her fingernails into her palms so hard that it felt like they were about to break through. She kept reminding herself not to be consumed by anger.
It was as if she had lost all sense of pain. She didn't even notice the dagger digging deeper into her neck.
With blood - red eyes, Su Mingyu glared at the man and gritted her teeth. "I was blind to fall for you! I'll never forget this humiliation. I'll curse you in hell and make sure you never sleep soundly again!"
After saying that, Su Mingyu jerked her neck and slammed it hard against the dagger.
A bone - chilling cold shot through her neck, followed by warm blood gushing out. Su Mingyu felt like she was falling into an icy abyss. The woman's scream faded away slowly, just like the warmth leaving her body.
...
She didn't know how much time had passed when a rustling sound reached Su Mingyu's ears.
"Are you sure we should bury her here? It's too close. What if someone finds out?"
Su Mingyu suddenly opened her eyes and saw a burly man in tattered ancient clothes.
"Ah! The corpse is reviving! The corpse is reviving!"
"Buddha bless! I'm just doing this as ordered. Don't come after me!"
Su Mingyu frowned tightly. She tried to turn over and grab the man, but as soon as she moved, her whole body ached as if it were falling apart.
Looking at her wide - sleeved cotton and linen clothes, a sharp pain shot through her temple.
Memories that didn't belong to her flooded into her mind like a gushing spring. The pain was so intense that Su Mingyu's vision went black, and she fainted.
When she regained consciousness again, Su Mingyu heard a trembling voice say,
"I really saw her open her eyes..."
"We agreed I'd only bury the body. I'm not going to kill anyone. You deal with it yourself..."
Looking at the man's cowardice, Su Yueyue cast a contemptuous glance at Su Mingyu in the pit. She curled her lips in disdain. "So what if she's not dead? If I can kill her once, I can kill her a thousand times!"
After saying that, she drew out a glinting knife, jumped into the pit, and stabbed straight at Su Mingyu's heart.
Just as the knife was about to pierce through, Su Mingyu suddenly opened her eyes.
She deftly grabbed the blade and with her left hand, formed a claw and clamped down on Su Yueyue's fair neck.
"You're really ruthless, my dear sister."
Su Yueyue looked at the suddenly awakened Su Mingyu, trembling uncontrollably. Her little face turned beet - red from the lack of air.
"Min... Mingyu... What are you talking about? I was trying to save you..."
Su Mingyu glanced at the knife in her hand and looked at Su Yueyue with a half - smile. "Save me with a knife?"
Su Yueyue, struggling to breathe, was sweating profusely. She flailed her hands and feet, trying to pry Su Mingyu's hand away.
Wasn't Su Mingyu always the weak and helpless one? How could she be so strong now?
"I... I was going to cut the ropes on you."
Su Mingyu snorted and let go. Su Yueyue slumped to the ground, gasping for air.
Su Mingyu made a quick turn, snatched the knife, and cut the hemp rope on her arm. Then she grabbed Su Yueyue by the collar like a chick and stood up. "Well, thank you. It's time to go back."
Su Mingyu took a step forward. As she passed by the stunned burly man, the short dagger in her hand smoothly sliced across his neck.
A spurt of hot blood gushed out, splashing all over Su Yueyue, who hadn't even had time to react.
Su Yueyue stared in horror, her eyes wide open. It took her a long time to let out a scream of disbelief from the depths of her throat.
Although she was usually cruel, she was still a girl from a noble family. This was the first time she had seen such a bloody scene, and she was truly overwhelmed by the shock.
Through her hazy vision, looking at Su Mingyu's imposing back, all that was left in Su Yueyue's beautiful eyes was deep fear.
