C19 She Actually Dared to Kill Him!!

Gong Lingye briefly scanned the summary, which displayed:

"Overall physical condition: excellent."

"Hormone levels, bone and blood indices, and organ health are all within normal ranges. No signs of disease."

Gong Lingye skimmed the detailed report that followed. Midway through, Pei Jun, seated in the front, interjected, "President, there appears to be some trouble ahead..."

Gong Lingye looked up and peered out the car window, spotting a group of men encircling a girl in an alleyway. The dim streetlights obscured their faces, but it was clear that something was amiss.

"Call the police," Gong Lingye commanded coolly.

As Pei Jun reached for his phone to dial 110, he paused, a note of confusion in his voice. The car had drawn nearer, and he recognized the girl.

"President, that girl looks like Miss Yu," Pei Jun said, ensuring Gong Lingye understood, "She's the young master's girlfriend, Yu Ruonuan."

A sense of foreboding washed over Gong Lingye, his pupils narrowing sharply. "Get out of the car!"

On the street, Soong Yiren fought desperately, but as a girl, she was no match for the men.

Her wrist was seized, prompting her to twist her head and bite the hand holding her.

The man yelped in pain, releasing her wrist and delivering a kick to her abdomen.

Soong Yiren's abdomen seared with pain, her legs buckling, sending her crashing to the ground.

The men, seeing her fall, laughed and closed in. One even forced a pill into her mouth.

Soong Yiren tried to spit it out, but the pill dissolved instantly. Pinned down, she couldn't move.

She carried a small dagger for self-defense, but with her limbs restrained, she couldn't reach it.

The kick had intensified the pain in her abdomen. Soaked in a cold sweat and drained of strength, she looked up at her assailants with fierce resolve and defiance.

"Who sent you?" she demanded.

"You've crossed the wrong person!" the ringleader snarled, his eyes growing dark and ominous. "Given your beauty, this deal is already paying off! Soon, you'll be begging us to f*ck you, whether we want to or not."

His vile smile spread across his face as he gestured to his henchmen to grab Soong Yiren, reaching to unbuckle his belt.

In a flash, Soong Yiren lashed out with her left leg, delivering a fierce kick to his groin!

They hadn't anticipated her defiance. As they moved to recapture her, she revealed a dagger in her hand, pressing it against her carotid artery.

Her eyes, red with fury, bore into them. "Your boss didn't hire you to kill me, did he? If I die, do you think you can just waltz out of Imperial City?"

They faltered, uncertainty flickering across their faces.

But in their moment of distraction, Soong Yiren plunged the dagger into the chest of the man nearest to her!

Time seemed to stand still for a heartbeat before the man's agonized scream filled the air.

Soong Yiren yanked the dagger free, her hands stained crimson, her gaze wild with desperation. "Who's next?"

She had fought hard for this second chance at life, with her parents' deaths unavenged and her brother still counting on her. She wasn't about to give up so easily.

If the police showed up now, it would be clear she acted in self-defense. The man was bleeding profusely, but he wasn't in mortal danger.

The men, utterly shocked that Soong Yiren had the guts to strike, were paralyzed with fear, their complexions ashen as they scrambled to flee.

But they'd barely taken a few steps before two figures blocked their escape.
