The port of Linhai City is brightly lit. As the city with the largest shipping throughput in Donglu, it is no longer as prosperous as it used to be under the economic crisis of the tide. Only the whistle of the ship in the distance begins to sound.

Linhai City, the city with the largest shipping throughput in Donglu, once attracted countless people with its unique prosperity and bustle.

However, now under the economic crisis of the tide, it is no longer as glorious as it used to be. As night falls, the port, which should be dotted with stars, has only sparse lights burning tenaciously, as if telling the helplessness and hardship of this city.

The sound of the whistle in the distance broke the silent night, and huge ships began to slowly leave the port, carrying cargo, hope, and expectations for the future.

These ships gradually went away in the night, leaving only the lights in the distance and the stars nearby, bringing a touch of warmth and hope to the city.

In this difficult time, the people of Linhai City did not give up. They used their hard work and wisdom to strive to cope with the challenges of the economic crisis.

They believe that as long as they persist, one day, this city will regain its former prosperity and bustle.

Yan Li was steering, anxiously waiting for the call from Longtou, who was smuggling him. Zhao Zhongzheng was hanging his head dejectedly behind him. The two of them were about to leave Linhai as stray dogs.

This was a temporary decision made by Zhao Linyi, because he felt that the revenge of the Nangong family was about to come, and because the incident happened suddenly, Zhao Linyi arranged for the two of them to smuggle to Daidangchuan on the other side in this way.

In the capital of that place, Temuqinge, there are Zhao family connections and private property, but Yan Li planned to take Zhao Zhongzheng abroad after quickly selling the property there. As someone who was deeply indebted to the Zhao family, he wanted to accompany Zhao Linyi to the end, but he was still forced to assist Zhao Zhongzheng.

The phone suddenly rang, and Yan Li took a look. It was Zhao Linyi's call. He quickly answered it for fear of missing anything.

"Yan Li, have you reached the port yet?"

Zhao Linyi's tone sounded very tired, different from before, he was already exhausted. Yan Li listened to Zhao Linyi's words, and his heart was filled with grief.

"Just arrived, waiting for your call."

Yan Li said, to reassure him that Zhao Zhongzheng had arrived at a safe place. He knew that Zhao Linyi chose to stay at home just to let Zhao Zhongzheng and him leave safely and act as bait.

"That's good. I was worried that something might happen to you." Zhao Linyi said,"Now listen carefully. I have already arranged your next move. You can stay in Timuqin first. We have connections and private property there. You can settle down temporarily."

"I understand. We will sell the property there as soon as possible and then take Zhong Zheng abroad."

Yan Li kept repeating what Zhao Linyi had just told him, just to reassure him that he would complete what he had told him to do.

"OK, I understand." Zhao Linyi was silent for a moment,"Take good care of Zhong Zheng over there, and don't come back after you go abroad."

"Master, don't worry, we will do our best to take good care of Master Zhongzheng!"

Yan Li nodded and looked at Zhao Zhongzheng who was deliberately looking out the window. He knew that the young master understood what would happen next, that he would never see his father again, so in order to avoid reality, he turned his head away.

"Tell Zhong Zheng... live a good life over there, start a family, never return to Donglu, and don't avenge me, just live a good life!"

Zhao Linyi was in the same mood, and deliberately didn't talk to his son, but let Yan Li convey his final instructions, and then hung up the phone neatly. Men always have to face the separation of life and death. It's time for this son to grow up.

"Master, the ship has arrived, we……"

Bang!!!

Yan Li let out a long breath and spoke to Zhao Zhongzheng behind him, because he saw the transport ship in the distance, flashing lights in the dark sea. He knew it was time to leave, so he turned around and spoke to Zhao Zhongzheng, and then the next second...

"Uncle Yan!!!!"

A bullet penetrated the car window and hit Yan Li's head. Instantly, blood and brain matter covered the small car. Yan Li, who had just had a friendly face, suddenly lost his human form. Zhao Zhongzheng screamed in fear because of the sudden change. Zhao Zhongzheng

's exclamation echoed in the air. He couldn't believe that Yan Li, who had just been talking to him, was now lying in a pool of blood and could no longer move.

The speed of the bullet was so fast that Zhao Zhongzheng didn't even have time to see who fired the gun. He only felt that the whole car was stained red with blood, and the pungent smell almost suffocated him.

Zhao Zhongzheng wanted to get off the car, He wanted to find help, but the car door was closed and he couldn't open it.

Zhao Zhongzheng began to knock on the car window frantically, shouting for help, but no one responded. He felt desperate. Yan Li died because of him, and he couldn't afford such a price.

Suddenly, he heard footsteps and gasps. The car door was suddenly pulled open, and a dark shadow flashed in.

Zhao Zhongzheng was horrified to see a strong woman in a black suit holding a gun. She looked at Zhao Zhongzheng coldly and then pulled the trigger.

Zhao Zhongzheng felt himself being pushed violently, and then everything became blurred, and his consciousness gradually faded away.

"Mission accomplished, Antia sniped the driver, and Alvin used a gun to make the target unconscious, and now he will be transferred to the destination."

Lucia lowered her hand holding the observation mirror, patted Antia's shoulder to thank her for her hard work, and then reported the situation to their team's new boss, Nangong Yehai, through the intercom.

""Thank you for your hard work. You are the strongest indeed. After you are transferred to that warehouse, your mission will be accomplished!"

Nangong Yehai's pleasant voice came. She was really satisfied. After continuous high-intensity combat, she could still run a long distance to the port to prevent Zhao Linyi's cub from escaping. She was worthy of being a battlefield man.

Good news also came from Li Xinzhi. He solved Ning Zhongze and met up with Wei Jingzhong. Now in the process of cleaning up the mess at the scene, Nangong Yehai, who felt her lover's hard work, decided to clean up the backhand.

That was revenge on Zhao Linyi. The information about his stupid son Zhao Zhongzheng was provided by the Qian family and the Qin family. After the attack on the Linhai branch, Nangong Yehai used this as an article to put pressure on the two families, threatening them to stab Zhao Linyi in the back, otherwise they would have hats and small shoes to wear in the future.

Out of their understanding of Nanjing Yehai, a ruthless man, the two families quickly betrayed Zhao Linyi. After all, when disaster strikes, everyone will fly away. What Zhao Linyi and Ning Zhongze did was too suicidal. In order not to be dragged into the water, the two could only choose to betray.

"So...what should we do next?"

Lucia felt the hostility and madness in Nangong Yehai's tone, but she still asked for the next instructions professionally. After all, she had done a lot of dirty work, and she had a good idea of what the boss wanted.

"Mr. Zhao has tried to take away my important things again and again. It’s time for him to get some retribution. When you get to the warehouse later, prepare the camera and take good care of Master Zhong Zheng. Use your interrogation skills to chop off his head in the end. I want to give this gift to Zhao Linyi."

Nangong Yehai said in a normal tone, which made mercenaries like Lucia, who had seen a lot, shudder in their hearts. Wasn't she a pampered young lady? How could this cruelty and madness far beyond imagination be going on? As soon as

Nangong Yehai's voice fell, the air seemed to solidify instantly, and Lucia felt a chill. Although she had seen all kinds of darkness and cruelty in her mercenary career, this was the first time she heard such a chilling order. What kind of violence and madness is hidden in this girl's heart?

"Got it... Miss Ye Hai……"

Lucia nodded helplessly and agreed to her request. Then she stood up and looked at the sky which was still dark. She felt that dawn was still far away. They would become demons and do some inhumane things.

Lucia took a deep breath and sorted out her thoughts silently. She knew that what she was going to do next was not easy, and it would be an unprecedented challenge for her.

She raised her head and looked at the dark night sky. The helplessness and fear in her heart gradually deepened.

"Do we... have to do it?"

Anthea asked hesitantly, knowing that the answer was obvious. Her voice was unusually weak, even trembling.

Her companions looked at her, with the same doubt and uneasiness in their eyes. They all knew that what they were about to do was not simple, and might even involve some moral and ethical bottom lines.

However, they also knew clearly that if they did not do this, they and their loved ones would face a more tragic fate.

Lucia took a deep breath and tried to stabilize her emotions. She knew that now was not the time to hesitate and be afraid. She bit her lips tightly, then nodded slowly.

"Yes," she said firmly,"we must do this."

They stood up together, facing the dark night sky. They knew that what awaited them would be a journey full of challenges and uncertainties. However, they also understood that in order to regain their freedom and happiness, they would send innocent people to hell.

At the same time, she also understood that this was a road full of thorns, but she was ready to face all the challenges and difficulties ahead.

Zhao Linyi sat alone in his own mansion. The study room, which had always been spacious, was now empty except for him. The lights in the villa were turned off, as if it was for sale after bankruptcy liquidation.

But it's almost the same now. Keystone Company is completely finished, along with his life. The only thing that can make people happy is that his only son, Zhao Zhongzheng, and his trusted housekeeper Yan Li have left the city.

Zhao Linyi endured it. He lit up a cigarette and took a deep puff, but it was only a brief relief, and what was left was endless sorrow.

Zhao Linyi took another deep puff of cigarette, trying to ease his inner anxiety, but it did not bring much comfort.

His body leaned back in the chair, staring at the ceiling with empty eyes. The loss and loneliness in his heart cannot be described in words.

This mansion, which was once full of vitality and laughter, is now suffocatingly silent. Without its former glory, it is like an empty castle, guarding his loneliness and failure.

Zhao Linyi slowly pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray, extinguishing the last spark of hope.

Maybe this is his fate, falling from the peak of success to the abyss of failure. Even the company he is most proud of has not been spared. Now, he can only face this cruel reality alone. Real.

As night fell, the moonlight shone through the window onto his tired face. Zhao Linyi felt a chill, but was unable to stand up and close the window. Everything became so helpless and frustrated.

At this moment, his son Zhao Zhongzheng should have left the city to find a new life, although this was the decision he made for his son.

But the pain in his heart could not be alleviated. Zhao Linyi knew that this was the price he paid for his failure and an opportunity he gave to his son.

Butler Yan Li also left. He chose to stick to his duties and leave with Zhao Zhongzheng.

Zhao Linyi closed his eyes and let the tears slide. He sat alone in the dark, listening to the distant bells echoing in the empty villa.

Zhao Linyi knew that he had lost a lot, but he also gained something, the most important of which was , he learned to face failure and loneliness.

It is said that when people are dying, they will always recall some past events. Zhao Linyi, who felt that a disaster was coming, began to recall his past.

Zhao Linyi, who was born in a nouveau riche family, did not have a happy childhood. Although he had everything when he was born, everything that everyone envied, a young master with a golden spoon in his mouth, as long as he wanted, he could buy anything, as long as he waved his hand, everything would come as he wished.

But Zhao Linyi knew that he was just a farmer at the foot of the mountain. Compared with the family that really held power and had a long history, he was nothing, a kid from a shoe shiner family, smelling of shoe polish.

Those high-ranking guys laughed at him, saying that money could not buy respect and reputation. Zhao Linyi had no choice but to accept his fate.

There was no way. Others had accumulated for thousands or even hundreds of years, while his family was still a shoe shiner a hundred years ago. It was already a great fortune to have accumulated such wealth. The rest could only be accumulated from generation to generation.

Zhao Linyi seemed to have seen through his own boundaries, and was ready to lie down honestly, enjoy his wealth, and hand over the responsibility of family continuation to his descendants. At this time, he met Qing Teng Shiyu. Just as anyone needs an opportunity, Qing Teng Shiyu gave him this opportunity.

As a partner and business partner, Zhao Linyi is very grateful to this wonderful woman, because she allowed him to see a new world for the first time, not sticking to identity and blood, and realizing personal foundations by himself.

Deep in his heart, Zhao Linyi not only deeply admired Qing Teng Shiyu, but also loved her very much, but she was like the white moonlight on the horizon. He could only appreciate her love under the moon and could never touch her.

More importantly, Qing Teng Shiyu had someone he liked, that was her brother-in-law Nanjing Qingye. Zhao Linyi thought of this and felt very sorry for her. With Qing Teng Shiyu's ability, she shouldn't have wasted herself like this.

Countless men who are better than Nangong Qingye like her, but she would rather bear the stigma and still choose him, which makes Zhao Linyi very angry and helpless. At the same time, the shadow of the past breaks out, making Zhao Linyi have uncontrollable hatred for Nanjing Qingye.

These guys from famous families easily get the beauty they want. He failed Qingteng Shiyu's love for him, making the white moonlight in Zhao Linyi's heart tainted with the stigma of a third party and attacked by gossip.

Zhao Linyi even felt that Qingteng Shiyu's early death was because of this man. She should have lived happily and enjoyed the glory and fame she created, instead of dying like this.

From that day on, Zhao Linyi made a decision in his heart that he must completely surpass and defeat Nangong Qingye in his lifetime, and never bow to others, because in Zhao Linyi's heart, the only one who can be his leader is Qingteng Shiyu.

Ring, ring, ring~

When thinking about the past and feeling sad about it, the phone next to him rang. Zhao Linyi was stunned for a moment. After seeing the phone number clearly, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. The person who called was his lifelong enemy, Nanjing Qingye.

"Hello, what can I do for you?"

Zhao Linyi answered the phone neatly and asked his rival a little loudly. He knew that Ning Zhongze's counterattack would definitely fail. If there was anyone who still believed that he could counterattack the Linhai branch, it must be Li Xinzhi's strategy to lure the snake out of its hole and wipe it out in one fell swoop.

But even knowing this, Zhao Linyi still chose to support Ning Zhongze's plan and tried his best to fight back against fate. Even if they failed in the end, they didn't want to be strangled to death.

Now that Ning Zhongze has been out of contact for several hours, he must have failed. Zhao Linyi just had a farewell drink with the men who were willing to accompany him for the last time, and let them go. After all, if he was going to fail, he wouldn't drag others to be buried with him.

"You are a complete general, Zhao Linyi, you have failed."

The voice that came from the other end of the phone was Nangong Qingye's irritating voice. This kind of young man from aristocratic family always has a superior tone, especially when he announces victory from a high position like this.

"Ah~ I failed, but you should not be proud. The one who defeated me was your cheap son-in-law Li Xinzhi. You, a second-generation ancestor, just took advantage of the east wind. Why are you so proud!"

But in the end, Zhao Linyi did not want to give in to this love rival. He loudly mocked and hit back at Nangong Qingye with a tone full of disdain. It was not shameful to be defeated by Li Xinzhi. After all, the Yangtze River's back waves push the front waves. It is not shameful to fail.

But what is this Nangong Qingye so proud of? He has relied on others all his life. The person Zhao Linyi hates most in his life is this arrogant guy.

"You are about to die, but your mouth is still so annoying."

Nangong Qingye on the other end of the phone was surprisingly not angry, but sighed with some complex feelings. After being a vegetarian and worshipping Buddha for so many years, he still has some self-cultivation.

"Hehe, I have to go see her first anyway, Nangong Qingye! Don’t be too proud too soon, your Nangong family is destined to fight to death, just live well! Witness this human tragedy!!!"

Zhao Linyi laughed wildly, disgusting this love rival viciously. With the Nangong family’s tradition of civil war and Nangong Yehai’s hatred for this cheap father, his second half of life will definitely be very exciting, and then hung up the phone without waiting for his response, anyway, the two of them would not have a chance to meet.

Zhao Linyi’s gun was already loaded with bullets, he would never give Nangong Qingye the opportunity to torture himself, it was really funny to think about it, he and Yan Zaigui died in the same way.

But at that time, being shot by Yan Zaigui would be a good choice, after all, in this way, he would not have the idea of reaching the sky in one step. He would not fall so heavily, his foundation would be destroyed, and his descendants would be stranded in a foreign land. Well, fate really likes to play jokes. I thought it was an opportunity to rise to the top overnight, but I didn't expect it to end up with the destruction of my family business.

But in the end, Zhao Zhongzheng can leave, which is also a good result. All the consequences will be borne by himself, an incompetent father. I just hope that God can keep his son safe.

Ring ring ring~

But when Zhao Linyi raised the gun and put it to his chin, and was about to pull the trigger, the phone rang again. Zhao Linyi couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. What the hell is it that wants to commit suicide?

But when he saw the caller, his soul was shocked. He thought it was Li Xinzhi who called, but it turned out to be Nangong Yehai. What followed was a video with the title"A return gift for last time"

""Nangong Yehai! What did you do?!"

Zhao Linyi answered the phone tremblingly, roaring at the other end of the phone. He knew how dangerous this girl was, the type who would never give up. He had humiliated her with a gun the last time they met, and she would definitely take revenge on him cruelly. Zhao Linyi suddenly had a premonition that something terrible was going to happen.

"It’s nothing, Mr. Zhao. I know you admit defeat, but I don’t want you to die so easily. You know my character. Now just enjoy the end of your son’s life!"

"Ah!!!"

Nangong Yehai's cold voice came, destroying Zhao Linyi's reason word by word with inhuman emotions, and making him completely desperate. There was nothing better than letting him see the death of his son. Then Zhao Linyi saw hell. In the video, Zhao Zhongzheng, who should have left Linhai, was in a dim place, covered in blood, with his teeth smashed out, his limbs with nails plucked off, and he was struggling to crawl. The instinct for survival made him want to leave here.

Then a girl in a black suit approached Zhao Zhongzheng with a knife, grabbed his hair expressionlessly, pressed his inhuman face against the camera, and wiped his neck with a sharp blade. Blood instantly covered the screen.

"Ahhhhh! Zhong Zheng! Zhong Zheng! Zhong Zheng!!!"

"Hahahaha! Zhao Linyi, are you satisfied? Don't worry! I will send your son's head over later!"

Zhao Linyi completely collapsed. He shouted at the phone, trying to save it all, but the reality had already happened. Zhao Zhongzheng was dead, his son was dead, all his hopes were gone, and he completely lost everything. Zhao Linyi stood up, his mind was empty, like a puppet, his feet swung uncontrollably, he fell down, and struggled to stand up again, tears flowing uncontrollably. At this moment, he was no longer the high-spirited president. He was now just a father who had lost his son.

"Zhong Zheng... Zhong Zheng... Don't be afraid, Dad will accompany you now……"

Zhao Linyi, who had lost all hope, grabbed the gun on the table and murmured his son's name. There was nothing in the world worth his nostalgia. In order not to let his son, who had already gone to the underworld, be lonely, he decided to accompany him now.

Bang!

A gunshot, dust to dust, earth to earth, everything was over, Zhao Linyi shot himself to end his life, blood flowed into a river, no one witnessed his death, only a bright moon reflected this scene

……

Lucia wiped her hands and slowly walked out of the warehouse. Nangong Yehai leaned against the car and looked at the bright moon in the sky. In the warehouse, Alvin was starting the meat grinder and Pandora was mixing the potion to dissolve the bones. Everything that happened tonight would probably be unforgettable for many people.

"Mission accomplished, Miss Nangong……"

Lucia walked to Nangong Yehai and conveyed her words respectfully. It is said that a kind person cannot command an army. The cruel side shown by this young lady tonight completely made her fall. After all, being her weapon means that her future is limitless.

"Thank you for your hard work, Lucia. From now on, we are partners of one mind and two bodies. I will repay your loyalty and will not treat you unfairly. I swear on my personal character."

Nangong Yehai nodded and patted Lucia on the shoulder, indicating that she had been recognized by him. After accepting the pledge of allegiance, she naturally regarded the rebellious team as the most trusted people.

"I understand...Do I need to tell Mr. Nobuyuki?"

"No need... I can do all these dark things... I don't want him to hate me……"

Lucia nodded. She knew the value of Nangong Yehai's oath. Although she still felt heavy in her heart, she felt relieved when she thought that the future was finally guaranteed.

But out of professionalism, she asked whether she should notify Li Xinzhi. After all, he was one of the bosses of the disobedient team, but Nangong Yehai refused, then looked at the moonlight and whispered his thoughts.
