The Inconceivable Flame: A Fallen Angel“s Disguise-Chapter 283 Good Boy

Inside the main lair, everyone was running around because they had started to lose their contact with several of their scout teams and security teams that were scattered all over their territory of the death valley. Losing contact with hundreds of people so abruptly meant that something was wrong. There was no way around it. This couldn't be a coincidence.

"What is going on here?" Ling Qiaolian was really getting a headache at this unforeseen turn of events. No wonder she wasn't feeling good about this situation with Zhang Han earlier. She overlooked a lot of things. And now, trouble was coming right at her door.

"It seems like we are ambushed," replied Yu as he took a break from ordering people around. The security system was hacked and they couldn't see what was going on. Or how many people they were about to face. But one thing was certain, whoever it was, their target was the main headquarter. And they definitely weren't looking for negotiations.

Yu watched how Ling Qiaolian sneered and he felt a premonition rising in his heart. "I guess you'll be meeting your old friend soon, Yu." Yu's heart jolted a bit as she added, "Your favorite Four is at the door, won't you welcome her?" Just because trouble was knocking at the door, didn't mean she had no way to welcome that trouble.

Yu closed his eyes but still managed to say, "Isn't Four dead? I shot her myself."

Ling Qiaolian looked at him with a cold gaze, "Do you take me for an idiot, Yu? Or do you really think that I didn't see you choosing to shoot at her chest knowing very well that her heart was on the right side?"

Yu fell on his knees as he voiced out, "Madam, I was..."

"Save it. I don't care why you did it. I kept you alive because I know how skilled you are. Besides, she was of no use to me since she didn't succumb no matter what I did." Ling Qiaolian's biggest failure had been Ru; That one person she couldn't tame no matter how she tried to. Ru's mental strength and resistance were beyond her belief. Ru was nothing but a stubborn product to her. If only, she could control her then Ru could have become her explosive power and it wouldn't even take her second to ruin the five great clans. However, this was not the time to lament. "But this time, I won't be going easy on you. You better kill her for me."

Yu's heart felt heavy at this order that he was receiving the second time in his life. In the past, he didn't know how but Ling Qiaolian knew that Rong won't be able to shoot Ru. That's why she sent him to do the deed but her plan was even twisted than that, she wanted him to make it look like Rong was the one who shot Ru.

And in fact, that's what happened. Ru's brain only registered Rong's hand holding the gun at her, she completely overlooked the silhouette who stood right behind Rong and aimed right at Ru's heart. However, at that last moment when he was about to pull the trigger, his hand trembled. He didn't have it in him to shoot her. So, he chose to give her luck a chance. He chose to shoot at her chest just right beside her heart.

Her survival was left on her luck. He could only do that much. He couldn't disobey Ling Qiaolian but he did for her. But that was his limit. He couldn't do more than that for her and he regretted it until this day.

"I won't fail Madam this time," answered Yu acquiescently.

"You better not," warned Ling Qiaolian. "This girl really underestimates me. Last time, I couldn't play with you like I wanted but this time I have more cards than you think little Four." Her eyes flashed with menace as she barked orders, "Let everyone out on the field. And do everything to resist this attack. I don't want a single one of those people alive." Then she looked over at Yu again and said, "Bring out all the people from the dungeon."

"But Madam, those people are all failed products," answered Yu looking at her weirdly.

"All the more reason to let them out... They'd make a good sacrifice for our cause," announced Ling Qiaolian without any hint of humanity in her eyes or her voice.

People loved to say that Ru was heartless but in fact, those people hadn't met this monster. Ru might be heartless but she knew where her limits were or what was right or wrong. But this woman had no such thing as a borderline. If anything, she was inhumane and like a beast who would devour anything and everyone for her own benefit.

She had always treated humans like products, products that could be sacrificed easily for her madness. Yes, madness! Because her experiments were nothing but her obsession and pure madness. She wanted to be the god who could control humans like the way she wanted them to. It was her obsession that she wanted everyone to bow down before her. It was nothing else except for her madness.

One might like to call her a mad doctor. She did experiments far worse and cruel than now. As long as it got her what she wanted, she was willing to do anything. Even if it meant eating human flesh or human organs!

Her madness was beyond anyone's understanding. But there was something even worse about her. And that was her deceitful nature. If it wasn't because of that deceitful nature of hers, she wouldn't have been able to enter the Ji family all those years ago.

After ordering her people to prepare for the fight, she took long strides and went to another secret room. Inside the room, a person was sitting on the chair with two people in lab coats standing beside him.

"Is it done?" she asked.

"Yes, Madam!" said both of them in unison.

She nodded and waved them off before she walked around the chair and stood before that person. Her hand caressed the side of his face while she bent over to look into his unfocused eyes.

"No matter how long and hard I try, you're still my most perfect creation..." she whispered proudly beside his ear. "Guess what! I heard you fell in love with my most stubborn product." She stuffed a dagger into his hands and went on, "Since you've tamed her already, how about you'd be the one to kill her as well dear Zhiren?"

The person who was sitting still in the chair was none other than Xiao Zhiren. As she had said, she had many tricks up her sleeve this time around. And the biggest and deadliest of her cards was right before her; Xiao Zhiren.

Her lips touched the side of his face as she whimpered pitifully, "You'd do this for mommy, right?"

Xiao Zhiren abruptly stood up as he said, "I'd do anything for mommy."

"Good boy..."
