After all, I didn’t get to see the face…
But it doesn’t matter – a thief will always reveal their true colors eventually.
That night, Zhou Ye slept restlessly. Tang Yun held Zhou Ye in her arms, her eyes filled with heartache, knowing she was just a fifteen-year-old girl.
“Xiao Ye, promise me you’ll always put yourself first from now on, okay? I know you weren’t happy in the Zhou family. They never treated you well! Everything you’ve done is right!”
“But, sister, the neighbors all say I’m too cruel for driving them out!” Zhou Ye said quietly.
“So what? Those people don’t matter. I only care about whether you’re happy or not. Remember, as long as you’re happy, those who care about you will be happy for you. If you’re unhappy, those who care will feel heartache for you. Don’t worry about others. Whenever you do something, just ask yourself: will this bring me peace? If yes, then do it! But…”
“What?”
Tang Yun tightened her embrace around Zhou Ye: “You’re still young, I know you have many things in your heart that you can’t put into words. But I’m your sister, and I want you to live a happier, easier life! Don’t let hatred blind you! You have such wonderful youth ahead of you, okay?”
Zhou Ye remained silent.
Wonderful youth? Me?
Do I still have that chance?
Tang Yun: “Are you asleep?”
“No!”
“Hmm, Xiao Ye, everything I do is for your own good. Do you believe me?”
“Yes!”
Tang Yun smiled with satisfaction.
The next day, Zhou Ye took out that Green Box, wanting to see what was inside.
As soon as she opened it, she felt a sharp pain in her back. Before she could react, the Green Box was snatched away.
“Stop!”
She followed the person all the way to a desolate wilderness.
There stood an abandoned factory, completely empty!
“Come out!” Zhou Ye shouted.
“I know it’s you, come out! Don’t we even have a chance to talk face to face? Return the Green Box to me, and I can exchange it for money!”
“Heh…”
The voice was a hoarse male voice.
Then emerging from the shadows was a middle-aged man – surprisingly, it was their old acquaintance, Yue Ge!
“Little girl, this box isn’t for you to take!”
“Do you know what’s inside?”
“Of course! What business does a little girl like you have meddling in this? When we spared you back then, we gave you a chance to live! Now you’re walking right into death’s door! Don’t blame me for being merciless!”
Yue Yong held a gun in his hand. Zhou Ye’s heart suddenly tightened – so they were really connected after all!
Zhou Ye paused: “Let her come out!”
“Who?”
“Tang Yun!”
“Haha… you’re quite clever, girl! So you know Tang Yun is one of us? Weren’t you two as close as sisters? Hmm? Tsk… I’d really like to see you two turn against each other!”
“Come out!”
Aunt Li and Tang Yun slowly emerged.
Unlike usual, Aunt Li’s face was full of malice and venom. Tang Yun remained expressionless!
“Xiao Ye, Aunt Li watched you grow up and never wanted to hurt you, but you had to chase after us. Don’t blame Aunt Li for this.”
Yue Yong made a disgusted sound: “You handle this situation! Don’t make the organization abandon you!”
“Yes!”
Aunt Li answered loyally!
After Yue Yong left, Zhou Ye looked seriously at Tang Yun: “Sister, so it was you outside the window that day, right?”
Tang Yun: “Yes!”
Zhou Ye smiled mockingly: “So, sister, you’ve been getting close to me all along for your own purpose, haven’t you?”
“You never truly liked me, never truly treated me as a sister?”
Aunt Li chuckled: “You child, you’ve had a happy and perfect life since childhood, and we’ve done our part in that.”
“But now we have no choice, Aunt Li has to be ruthless too!”
“Besides, you’re not entirely innocent! For the house, for the benefits, you ruthlessly drove your uncle’s family out.”
“Enough talk, it’s time to send you off now!”
“Don’t resent Aunt Li, you’re the one standing in the way!”
“Are you spies?” Zhou Ye whispered.
A flash of killing intent appeared in Aunt Li’s eyes: “We’ve been operating for years, the bridge was almost built, but you destroyed everything!”
“Shouldn’t I kill you?”
“No more nonsense!”
As she spoke, she pointed the gun at Zhou Ye. Tang Yun looked at Zhou Ye.
“Miss Zhou!”
Many people rushed out from behind Zhou Ye!
It was Brother Luo and his men. As enforcers, they were certainly the most competent.
Aunt Li looked at Zhou Ye in disbelief: “You brought people? So… today… this is your trap?”
“No, it’s your trap! I originally thought it was my uncle who was ungrateful, causing my family to be sent for re-education.”
“But you suddenly appeared!”
“So my uncle was just your pawn, wasn’t he?”
“Hah… So what? No matter how many people you brought, you must die!”
Without another word, she fired several shots at Zhou Ye!
Zhou Ye wasn’t unafraid, but with the protection of her dimension, she was sure to escape!
Brother Luo was behind her, but no one could be faster than a bullet!
Yet at this critical moment, Tang Yun quickly shielded Zhou Ye.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Three shots accurately hit Tang Yun’s chest!
Zhou Ye froze!
Aunt Li shouted in disbelief: “What are you doing?” Tang Yun instantly fell to the ground, coughing up blood.
“Sister…”
While Aunt Li was restrained by Brother Luo and the others, Zhou Ye held Tang Yun, murmuring: “Why? Aren’t you one of the bad guys?”
Tang Yun smiled weakly and spoke with difficulty: “Yes, I am a bad person! But… you’re my sister! How could I watch you die?”
“Cough cough…”
“Sister, don’t talk anymore, let’s go to the hospital. They can definitely heal you! Definitely!”
Zhou Ye panicked!
“No, sister has many things to tell you!”
“Sister…”
Tang Yun held Zhou Ye’s hand: “Xiao Ye, don’t feel sorry for me. Sister was bad from the very beginning! So, I deserve to die!”
“But Xiao Ye, you can’t live in hatred forever!”
“Now… you know… cough cough…”
“Your uncle was used! They were pawns too!”
“So… forgive them…”
“Forgive yourself!”
“People can’t hold onto hatred forever, even for your own sake… you must let go of those unhappy things!”
“You’re only fifteen years old. Sister wants you to live happily!”
“Not live for revenge!”
“You have a wonderful life ahead, you should embrace happiness… not… cough cough…”
“Sister, don’t say anymore, don’t say anymore… Let’s go to the hospital, okay?”
Zhou Ye cried helplessly.
“No… sister is beyond saving! Please let me finish…”
Tang Yun gasped for breath as he pulled out a passbook from his inner pocket: “Xiao Ye, this is what your sister saved for you! Go somewhere else and live a good life! Forget about me! Alright?”
“Don’t seek revenge anymore, and also…”
He glanced at Aunt Li: “Let her go, alright? After all, she raised me! Please?”
