War of Roses: The Proud Tycoon，Please Surrender!-Chapter 329: Never Rest Until Death

It seemed like there were sounds of a piano coming from the music room. Tang Yuxiu’s eyes flickered slightly as he recalled the way Gu Yan played the piano...

Her most beautiful moment.

"Yanyan, Yanyan..." he murmured softly, his heart cold and chilly.

At the same time, Tang Mubei drove his car to the bottom of the building where Qiu Ye lived.

He rolled down the car window, the wind blowing in, sobering him up quite a bit.

He stared unmovingly at the light shining from Qiu Ye’s room upstairs.

Qiu Ye was in the living room looking at case files, unable to shake off a sense of unease, unable to focus, so she got up to the window for some fresh air.

She opened the window, the cool breeze coming in did make her feel better, but when she glanced downward inadvertently, she saw a familiar car.

Living on the eighth floor, she couldn’t clearly see the person inside from that height, but she knew exactly who it was.

Her heart suddenly skipped a beat; she knew that the person in the car was also watching her.

But he didn’t move. She looked for quite a while, then moved her gaze away, closing the window, shutting out everything outside.

Tang Mubei, I really wish you wouldn’t be so persistent; she’s really afraid she’ll give in at any moment.

Qiu Ye leaned against the wall, eyes closed, her hand at her side clenched tightly, suppressing her emotions with great effort.

Not caring whether he was still down there or when he would leave, Qiu Ye drew the curtains, shutting out the world, and sat cross-legged on the floor, holding the case files in her hands.

But she couldn’t take in a single word.

Upstairs and downstairs, an insurmountable distance.

Like heaven and earth, visible yet untouchable.

By the river.

Lu Fusheng had just parked his car when another vehicle stopped right across from him.

Xiao Xiao got out of the car from the other side. Her black clothes blended into the night, seductive, lethal.

Lu Fusheng raised an eyebrow faintly; life always brought unexpected encounters. He and Xiao Xiao were also bound by inescapable fate.

He got out and walked towards her.

Xiao Xiao, ever alert, noticed him after just a few steps. She turned her head upon seeing him and was a bit surprised.

Lu Fusheng had his hands in his pockets, looking nonchalant. Xiao Xiao gazed at him, always feeling like he shortchanged this face that could captivate anyone.

Born into a military and political family, yet he exuded a rebel aura, making people feel he was never serious.

Back then, she, they, were deceived by that very aura!

So much so that later, such a tragedy happened, almost costing her life.

"Miss Xiao, won’t you admit you’re stalking me? Wherever I go, there you are."

Xiao Xiao snickered, "I really want to slap that face, beat you senseless. You’re not that important for me to follow 24/7."

"Oh, then it seems we’re fated, what a coincidence."

"This kind of ill-fated relationship, it’s better not to have, because sooner or later, you’ll die by my hands."

"Do you hate me that much, wish me dead?" Lu Fusheng asked.

His tone was still so nonchalant as if casually joking, but this time, Xiao Xiao inexplicably heard a note of sadness.

Her heart stirred, she glanced at him, "How could I possibly hate you? But I took this mission, I have to complete it. I don’t want to ruin my reputation for someone insignificant. I still need to make a living in the world."

Insignificant person...

Lu Fusheng silently repeated these words in his heart.

Whether Xiao Xiao’s words were genuine or just tough talk, hearing them still made his heart ache.

It’s truly heartbreaking.

"After all, you pursued me for two years, and to say I’m an insignificant person so callously, isn’t it too hurtful?"

Lu Fusheng spoke half-jokingly.

Xiao Xiao’s eyes were dark and unfathomable, "You can feel hurt? Don’t joke like that, it’s not funny, and it doesn’t suit you."

"Why doesn’t it suit me?"

"For a Captain Lu who could kill dozens of innocents in the blink of an eye, how can I expect you to have a heart?" Xiao Xiao’s expression and tone were full of sarcasm and ice.

Lu Fusheng’s heart shuddered, it was still about that incident...

She could never let go of that incident.

"Xiao Xiao, are you sure they were all innocent?"

"They were comrades who went through life and death with me. Whether they were innocent or not, I know better than you. Even if they truly committed murder or arson, attacked anti-terror organizations or Interpol headquarters, they were my partners. You killed them, and I won’t rest! Moreover, they did nothing, unlike you, Captain Lu, who could infiltrate our clique of assassins just waiting for the chance to wipe us out."

Xiao Xiao’s gaze in the night was like a sharp blade, cutting into Lu Fusheng’s heart with acute pain.

"But sadly, no matter how skilled you are, there was still one that slipped through the net. Unluckily for you, I’m that fish, barely surviving. Now, I’ve become a shark, ready to bite back fiercely at you, the hunter, with one deadly bite!"

Thinking of that event back then, Xiao Xiao’s hatred surged like a flood.

Those were partners she grew up with, endured countless life-or-death moments, supporting each other, all shot dead by Lu Fusheng, leaving her alone!

Many nights, she didn’t dare to sleep because once she did, scenes of that day’s events—filled with blood—would flood her mind, her partners’ blood, reddening the ground, her hands, and her eyes!

Amongst the corpses, there was Lu Fusheng, covered in blood, holding a gun, gripping one of her partners. He glanced at her coldly, then ruthlessly raised his gun and pulled the trigger.

Just like that, her last living partner also died under his gun.

Xiao Xiao turned her head towards the river, her right hand trembling, she clenched it tightly, struggling to suppress her emotions.

What a brutal scene, what profound hatred!

Between her and Lu Fusheng, it was a fight to the death!

Lu Fusheng watched her tense profile, his steps faltered slightly, wanting to approach, but she stopped him.

"Stay there! You better not come closer, get out of my sight!"

Lu Fusheng frowned, not moving, just watching her.

Xiao Xiao took a few deep breaths, gradually calming her emotions, turned her head and looked at him coldly, "Lu Fusheng, you better keep your life safe, don’t get yourself killed before I make a move."

"Xiao Xiao, I told you two years ago, if you want to kill me, I’m ready any time. But I hope you forget about that day. If you don’t, you’ll never find release."

"Why should I forget, why find release? I need to constantly remember their deaths, remember why I’m alive. I don’t hate you, but I have a mission, your life is only mine to take."
