Chapter 146 Turning point
As soon as He Fei left, Zhang Jingyi, still worried, stood up as well and said helplessly, "I'll go down too," and the three of them left the room together.
What Zhang Jingyi was trying to say was probably... a mole?
After all, the men in black broke in through the window as soon as they arrived, found their location, and planned to complete the mission using the simplest route.
Therefore, it's no wonder that their plan wouldn't have gone so smoothly without an inside informant.
Chen Feng was pondering the difficulties when Yan Luo entered.
As soon as she came in, Chen Feng felt much more awkward.
Yan Luo seemed a little off. She stared at Chen Feng's injuries and suddenly asked, "I saw your injuries..."
Chen Feng was taken aback.
"The ancient martial arts world. My father went in too, right?" Yan Luo took out a letter from his pocket and said, "This is his letter, which is quite in line with his character."
Chen Feng was taken aback, wondering if that guy had specifically told Yan Luo about this.
But Yan Luo appeared completely calm.
“He’s dead.” Yan Luo pursed her lips and suddenly blurted out these words.
Chen Feng was stunned, and Yan Luo noticed his incredulous expression.
Yan Luo's eyes struggled, and clinging to a glimmer of hope, she asked in a trembling voice, "It wasn't...you, right? It has nothing to do with you, is it?"
Chen Feng looked at the letter in her hand and finally fell silent.
"We've clashed."
This is the answer he can give.
Because he didn't kill him.
“Hmm…” Yan Luo looked at him, remaining silent for a long time.
She didn't really know what she was there to do.
She didn't even know the specifics of Chen Feng and Yan Beifeng's affair, only that the massacre of the Chen family in Jiangnan was related to Yan's father.
However, Chen Feng had promised her that she would not harm her father.
Now he received this news: Yan Beifeng had died in the ancient martial arts world...
She knew nothing about why her father wanted to enter the ancient martial arts world after Chen Feng did, or what his purpose was...
"Yan Luo, I don't want you to know that I met your father, but I didn't kill him..."
Chen Feng suddenly realized that the most difficult thing in the world is explanation.
"You promised me." Yan Luo lowered her head.
Chen Feng looked at her slightly trembling shoulders and admitted, "Yes."
"I believe you." Yan Luo suddenly raised her head, tears that had already welled up in her eyes seeming ready to spill out. The crimson color of her tears symbolized despair.
Chen Feng felt as if the brave and carefree girl he had just met was gone forever.
Her eyes seemed to say that she had lost everyone's support: "But until I find out the truth... I may not be able to forgive you."
After she finished speaking, she turned and left.
Chen Feng instinctively reached out his hand to her, but the words he was about to say stuck in his throat.
He couldn't bring himself to say "I'll help you," his feelings were incredibly complicated.
Yan Luo was not wrong. She was the most innocent person between him and Yan Beifeng. From her perspective, no matter what, her father died indirectly at Yan Beifeng's hands, and she could never forgive a murderer of her father...
"Damn it..." Chen Feng slammed his fist on the pillow on the hospital bed.
A complex mix of emotions overwhelmed him, causing him immense distress.
It's like one wave subsides only for another to rise.
The three people who accompanied He Fei down the elevator had just stepped out when they found the hospital lobby unusually quiet and deserted.
For a moment, she even thought she had gone to the wrong place.
Although hospitals are not noisy places, such a deathly silence... can only mean something bad has happened!
Zhang Jingyi was stunned for a moment; her contemplation only took three seconds.
"Go up." Her next action was to press the button to close the elevator doors.
However, almost the instant she made her move, a large hand pressed down on the back of her neck, and the unexpected force caused her head to slam hard against the inner wall of the elevator.
A tremendous noise, so loud it was almost a buzzing sound, was followed by an apology: "I'm sorry."
For the first time, Zhang Jingyi's usually gentle expression revealed anger.
"Chauvin!" He's the traitor!
She clearly knew the truth.
Her gaze fell upon Chauvin's slightly hesitant eyes in the reflecting mirror, but the look vanished in an instant.
"I still really enjoy working with you, Zhang Jingyi."
A hint of regret appeared on Chauvin's unshaven face.
He Fei looked bewildered. She struggled, but Sha Wen held her wrist firmly.
Sha Wen said regretfully to Zhang Jingyi, "If it weren't for that new kid, I wouldn't have had to take action against you. If you have to blame someone, you can only blame that person."
Zhang Jingyi's fighting skills were quite good. When she showed a regretful expression, she suddenly leaned back.
The elbow struck Chauvin in the abdomen, causing Chauvin to groan in pain.
Taking advantage of the moment, Zhang Jingyi left him without hesitation, and at that moment she also reached out to grab He Fei.
He Fei was startled, but she still obediently nestled in Zhang Jing's arms.
Zhang Jingyi walked out of the elevator helplessly.
For a moment, Sha Wen's eyes showed a struggle: "Zhang Jingyi, I don't want to kill you!"
However, it was too late by then.
"Tsk tsk tsk, Chauvin, what a surprise." A voice suddenly appeared, as if a woman with a smile on her lips was breathing sweetly into Zhang Jingyi's ear.
It was gentle, yet it seemed to conceal a deadly poppy.
Zhang Jingyi's breath hitched.
When she finally found the person who had spoken, she felt as if her heart had been pierced. With a soft "thud," her heart struggled to give one last, agonizing beat.
Zhang Jingyi stared blankly ahead, her vision filled only with Sha Wen, who was watching her slowly fall, his throat bobbing as he swallowed.
The man who had been her partner for over a month had a dim look in his eyes, filled with regret, yet he was determined to go on.
Why was it him who betrayed the Martial Arts Association...?
He Fei screamed, her voice sharp and childlike, but it was not pleasing to the ear; it sounded more like a wail.
Tears streamed down her face as she stumbled forward, only to be gripped tightly by a blood-soaked hand around her neck.
This is a woman dressed in a black robe.
Beneath that exquisite body might lie a heart of venom.
She grabbed He Fei by the neck with one hand and lifted her up, a cruel and nonchalant smile on her face: "Why are you crying? My..."
She murmured those words softly, but no one could hear them except for the bewildered He Fei.
"It's all because of you." She smiled faintly, but her eyes were icy cold, and the force in her hand kept increasing, as if she wanted to snap He Fei's slender neck.
Just as He Fei's face turned pale and she was about to suffocate, the woman in the black robe finally let go.
As if she had had enough fun, she casually tossed He Fei to the ground.
He Fei curled up in a ball, coughing incessantly.
"Take her back. She's been missing for so long, it's time to give those old geezers some hope." The woman's gaze lingered on He Fei for a moment, as if she were looking at a puppet, before she turned and disappeared like the wind. "I have other things to take care of."
