Wang Chao looked at Silver Fox with curiosity.
Knowing Silver Fox's personality, she would never let Pei Buji off easily. She would surely torment him day and night before completely destroying him.
Yet, it had only been a day, and Silver Fox was already following Zhou Xinghe's footsteps, arriving in Dragon Kingdom.
This didn't quite align with Silver Fox's character!
"I've figured it out. Killing that bastard Pei Buji would be enough for revenge. There's no need to be entangled with him any further," Silver Fox said.
"So, you're just going to kill him that easily?"
"Easily? Haha, impossible!"
Silver Fox mentioned Pei Buji with a cold smirk, her gaze becoming incredibly fierce and chilling. Her memories took her back to the Swan Cruise.
On the ship, she had tortured Pei Buji to the point of near death, making him taste the bitterness of hell.
After smashing each of Pei Buji's bones, she proceeded to cut off pieces of his flesh, before tying him up and throwing him into the sea.
It was only after seeing Pei Buji being devoured by ferocious sharks that she left completely.
"Hahaha, Dad, Mom, little brother, I have finally avenged you, sob, sob, sob!!"
After avenging her deep grudge, she collapsed to the ground, crying and laughing at the same time.
However, revenge did not bring her the satisfaction she had hoped for. After completing her revenge, she felt empty, as if her life had suddenly lost its purpose.
She did not know what to do next, feeling lost and confused. She sat there motionless for several hours.
Then, she picked up a pistol, intending to shoot herself and end her life, to reunite with her parents and loved ones.
But as she closed her eyes, preparing to pull the trigger, she felt an inexplicable force land on her shoulder.
In that fleeting moment, she felt as if her parents, brother, and loved ones were caressing her, embracing her with an indescribable power.
Those people seemed to be standing right beside her.
It was as if her mother was hugging her, her father was stroking her hair, and her brother was patting her shoulder.
In that trance, she heard the ethereal and elusive voices of her loved ones:
"Daughter, Mom hopes you live well."
"Daughter, you must be brave and strong. Dad will always be by your side."
"Sister, live on in our place."
Silver Fox suddenly opened her eyes, "Mom! Dad! Brother!"
But as she opened her eyes, the feeling of being embraced completely vanished.
Looking around, she found emptiness, with no one around.
However, Silver Fox knew that what had just happened was not an illusion.
"Mom, Dad, brother, have you been with me all along, protecting me?"
Silver Fox put down the pistol, her eyes instantly turned red, tears streaming down her face, and she couldn't speak.
After some time, she snapped out of that overwhelming emotional state, wiped her tears, and her gaze became determined. "Mom, Dad, brother, rest assured."
"From today onwards, I will live on, carrying your lives with mine!"
She made up her mind to lead an ordinary life in Dragon Kingdom, just like Wang Chao.
With revenge accomplished, she no longer wanted to live the life of a killer, always fearful and covered in blood.
She wanted to reclaim the youth she had lost, fall in love, enjoy life, embrace the sunshine, and live a happy and fulfilling life.
Returning to Malaysia was no longer an option.
If she were to go back, the assassin organization, Hell's Gate, would surely find her, and she would be unable to escape again.
So, she discarded all the symbols and items of Hell's Gate, throwing them into the sea. She endured the pain, opened her chest, and removed the tracking chip implanted in her by Hell's Gate, tossing it into the sea as well.
On the evening of Wang Chao and Scarlett's date, she had already entrusted Old Master Zhao to arrange a new identity for her.
Now, she was no longer an assassin. She had become an ordinary woman in Dragon Kingdom.
Silver Fox retrieved her memories, wiped the glistening tears from the corner of her eyes, and smiled as she extended her right hand to Wang Chao. "Nice to meet you again. My name is Zhao Liying, a member of the Zhao family in Fuzhou City."
"Zhao Liying?" Wang Chao raised an eyebrow.
Then, he suddenly understood. Silver Fox had abandoned her identity as an assassin and intended to settle in Dragon Kingdom.
He smiled and shook hands with Silver Fox. "Zhao Liying, that's a good name. It suits you well, intelligent and clever."
"It was given to me by Old Master Zhao," Zhao Liying replied with a smile.
"Congratulations. So, are you planning to settle in Canton City or somewhere else?" Wang Chao asked.
"Let's go to Canton City. After all, you're there. If anything happens in the future, I'll have someone to rely on," Zhao Liying said.
As she spoke, she looked deeply into Wang Chao's eyes.
Since learning Zhou Xinghe's true identity, she had been speculating about Wang Chao's identity.
In her eyes, Wang Chao was very likely a high-ranking member of the Night Brigade.
Being in the same city as someone like Wang Chao gave her a strong sense of security, and she would not have to worry about being hunted by Hell's Gate. It provided an additional layer of safety.
If she could develop some feelings and have a pleasant and unexpected relationship with Wang Chao, it would be even better.
"We have been friends for so many years, and now we'll be living in the same city. Feel free to ask for help whenever you need it," Wang Chao said.
"No problem," Zhao Liying replied.
At that moment, Shen Bing walked over with a smile and said, "Miss Zhao, if you are planning to live in Canton City, I wonder if you've found a job. How about working at my company?"
"We're in need of a secretary, and if you are willing to join, I'll offer you the best treatment."
She had somehow reconciled with Zhang Min and walked up behind Wang Chao and Zhao Liying, wearing a smile as she looked at Zhao Liying.
During the Swan Cruise, she had witnessed Silver Fox's power firsthand, at least at the level of a four-star War God. If she could bring Zhao Liying to her side, it would provide an extra layer of security for her.
Zhao Liying was delighted and extended her hand to shake hands with Shen Bing. "Thank you for your appreciation, President Shen. When can I start working?"
Danfeng Group was the best company in Canton City, and being able to work with Wang Chao in the same company was the best place for her to settle.
"Miss Zhao, can we have a word in private?" Shen Bing also felt delighted and immediately turned away from Wang Chao, taking Zhao Liying aside for a grave conversation.
Wang Chao was speechless.
Wasn't it just hiring a secretary?
Why did they leave him behind as if they're afraid he would overhear?
An hour later, Shen Bing and Zhao Liying finalized the job details, both of them wearing smiles and being particularly close, as if they had known each other for more than ten years.
Meanwhile, Zhang Min's father, Zhang Dongjun, had completed the surgery and was out of danger.
Shen Bing took Wang Chao and the others to visit Zhang Dongjun, leaving a sum of money for Zhang Min. She arranged for the best caretaker in the hospital and paid for two months' worth of care, ensuring that Zhang Dongjun would be well taken care of.
After doing all this, she uttered to Wang Chao, "Brother Wang, Miss Zhao and I'll return to the company first. You stay here and keep Zhang Min company."
"Huh?" Wang Chao was taken aback.
What did it mean for him to stay behind and keep Zhang Min company?
