C136
On the western outskirts of the imperial city, there was a vast and open wilderness. At dusk, hundreds of birds, whose names could not be determined, would fly here, their snow-white feathers dyed orange and yellow by the setting sun. Every time they flapped their wings, the dazzling colors would follow.
However, at this moment, their calmness was disturbed. The huge airflow caused by the helicopters in the sky caused them to panic, flapping their wings as they flew around.
The helicopter finally landed smoothly on the ground. The hatch opened to reveal the white knight's overly feminine face. He wore a white shirt, and his face was almost transparent. It was a sickly white color, like that of a patient who had been deprived of sunlight for a long time.
The corner of his mouth curled up into a cruel and strange smile. The pistol in his hand spun a little, and he quickly aimed at a bird in the sky and pulled the trigger.
The bullet flew through the air and accurately hit the bird's neck. Fresh red blood gushed out in an instant, dyeing its white feathers red. It let out a few mournful cries and could no longer flap its wings. In a parabolic trajectory, it landed on the ground and moved its head a few times, as if it was struggling, but to no avail. After a short struggle, it finally died.
Bai Jue walked down the spiral staircase step by step, and with every step he took, he shot a flying bird. In the sky, there was a series of shrill cries, and dozens of birds fell to the ground, flapping their wings a few times.
Bai Jue's mind had been warped long ago. Listening to the birds' mournful cries, his heart was filled with a cruel killing intent. He could not see anything good, nor could he see others achieve what they called happiness. Because he himself could not have it, he wanted to destroy. Only by destroying all that was good could he achieve a balance. He was in hell, so he wanted to pull everyone into the boundless hell.
He pulled out a white handkerchief and carefully wiped the pistol, as if wiping invisible blood. As he wiped the pistol, he asked, "Did you get the video?"
The bodyguard at the side replied respectfully, "Got it."
"What about the maid?"
The bodyguard replied, "After she was sent to the Lu family, she was silenced by our people. "She did it very cleanly. No one will know that we killed her. Everyone will think that she was tortured to death by the Lu Family."
Bai Jue laughed, "Well done, show me the video."
The bodyguard handed the iPad over, and the White Jue raised a finger and pressed the play button.
The video was very clear, but it was only for a few minutes. In the video, Jane Xia pulled the trigger and shot An Ran. The video eventually stopped at An Ran, whose eyes were wide open. She might not even know how she was being used until she died.
Bai Jue held the iPad in his hands, his smile crazed as he said to the air, "Ru Er, did you see that? I can kill him and take revenge for you right now. Are you happy?"
Bai Jue stopped, pulled the trigger, and shot the bodyguard beside him. He slowly said, "Now, everyone who knows about this is dead. Let's go on our way."
The bodyguard fell to the ground. There was a big hole in the top of his head, and blood was flowing out continuously. Finally, the last ray of light disappeared. Dusk and night connected and night finally arrived …
"..."
In the house.
Qing Ge was lying on the sofa with a packet of potato chips in his hand. Jane Xia was sitting beside him, one hand stroking his long hair while the other hand flipping the iPad, checking out the movements of the high-ranking officials in the imperial city.
The phone on the table suddenly rang. Jian Xia picked it up and answered, "Hello?"
Wu Yu's anxious voice came over the phone, "Young master Jian, it's bad. An Ran's corpse was obviously disposed of, but somehow, the video of you shooting her leaked out. Currently, all the major websites in the imperial city have this video on them.
"It looks like someone wants to kill me. The President has given me such a good opportunity, it's impossible not to take advantage of it. "Listen, from now on, you don't have to do anything, just come to the house. I want you to escort my family safely to B City and hand them over to Qingge's uncle."
"Alright, Young Master Jane. I'll be right over."
As soon as Jian Xia hung up the phone, Qing Ge stared at her and asked, "Are you sending me away?"
Jian Xia looked at the phone in Qing Ge's hand and knew that she had already seen the video. He replied, "Yes, I can't guarantee your safety now, but the President will definitely catch on this time. Although the news of our marriage was not made public, all the higher-ups in the imperial city knew that it was too dangerous for you and Grandmother to stay in the imperial city."
Qing Ge heaved a sigh of relief, "Grandmother and Grandmother, I will tell Uncle to protect them properly. The Liang family was a big taxpayer. Even if they wanted to make a move, they had to consider whether they could afford the consequences. As for me, I won't leave, if something happens to you, I'll just leave you behind and leave you behind, then I won't be worthy to be your wife, much less be worthy of your love! "
Jian Xia hugged Qing Ge and said, "You fool, I am the dignified military head of the Empire, how can I be so easily dealt with by them? I'm just worried that they will use you all to threaten me. When that happens, I really won't be able to fight back at all. "
Qingge sniffed with her nose, suppressing her tears that were on the verge of bursting out. "But if I don't do anything, then I won't be able to stop worrying about you."
Jian Xia patted Qing Ge's head and said, "Since you don't want to go to B City, then go to the base during the night. There are the Empire's most powerful special forces, and each of them are my brothers who will protect you.
Qingge nodded. "Then promise me, nothing must happen."
"I promise." "When Wu Yu arrives, you can leave through the secret passage with Grandma and the others."
About ten minutes later, Wu Yu rushed over, exhausted, and said, "Young Master Jian, we have to leave quickly. The President's men are already on their way here. If we're too late, no one can leave."
Qing Ge said to Xu Ruo, "Grandmother, Wu Yu will send you and grandma to B City. Uncle will protect you. Tell uncle not to worry, Jian Xia will be fine."
"Aren't you coming with us to B City?"
Qingge shook her head and said, "I'll send you on the plane, but I'm not going to B City. I have more important things to do, so you don't have to worry about us. We'll be fine."
Xu Ruo nodded. "Grandmother believes in you. The only thing your grandmother and I can do is not to be your concern."
Xu Qing suppressed her tears and said to Jian Xia, "Stupid brat, hurry up and clean up those old things for me. Afterwards, bring your grandmother and I back to the imperial capital. Don't let anything happen to you, otherwise I will definitely properly clean up your grandfather's mess."
Jian Xia nodded. "Grandmother, you can rest assured that nothing will happen to me."
