Chapter 1924: Many Have Also Died in Your Hands

During this period of time, China was all the rage with the anti-corruption movements. As the center of China’s power circle, Capital City was caught in a storm.

Although the political matters were rather unrelated to Xia Ruya, she still acutely sensed that everything was definitely related to Mr. Z who was hiding in her place.

Even as Mr. Z stayed at her place, he was still frighteningly mysterious.

“Release me and let me go back. You guys can’t control my personal freedom—this is false imprisonment and is illegal, I can sue you…” The infuriated shouting of a man rang incessantly in the house.

Xia Ruya was slightly vexed and said, “Shut up!”

The other day, she had acted on Mr. Z’s instructions and found an illegal doctor. This doctor was previously also a lead surgeon in a mainstream hospital whose license had been suspended due to a surgical incident and couldn’t practice medicine anymore. After that, he started practicing as an illegal doctor specializing in treating people from the underworld for a living.

Because he had been contacted through special means, everything was naturally kept very secretive and undetected by anyone. Thereafter, this illegal doctor had been staying in the villa. For safety reasons, even after Mr. Z’s condition stabilized, they had yet to release him.

The man was still shouting. “I warn you guys—better let me go right now, or else…”

“Bang—” The bullet produced from the gun fitted with a silencer produced a sharp and quite sound in the air.

Xia Ruya’s eyes widened suddenly as she stared at everything before her in disbelief. The man who was still shouting in front of her a second ago now had a bloody hole between his brows of which fresh blood oozed out from.

“Ah—you, you actually killed him!” Xia Ruya gasped in shock as the body in front of her fell to the ground with a thud.

His eyes were in a wide stare with his pupils looking lifelessly at the ceiling and he never managed to change his expression that was still twisted with rage. Just like this, the especially savage and scary expression with the contrast of fresh blood would be permanently frozen on his face.

“I’m a patient and need to recuperate in peace—he was too noisy!” Wei Che glanced mildly at the corpse on the floor, retracted the gun in his hand, and looked towards Xia Ruya.

His wounds had basically stabilized and he could take care of the rest himself—there was no point in keeping this doctor.

Although Xia Ruya was intelligent and useful, she was too scheming. Now that he was badly injured, he was afraid of not being able to handle her. To prevent other troubles, he had also killed someone in front of her to frighten and stun her.

If Xia Ruya was smart enough, she should know what to do.

Looking at the horrifying corpse in front of her, her gastric filled up with bile rapidly. Finally, she couldn’t take it anymore as she covered her mouth, ran to the washroom, and started throwing up.

It wasn’t the first time she saw a corpse—previously, Ning Shuqian had died in an even more horrifying way—and she had never been this afraid.

However, it was the first time she saw a person kill so decisively in front of her—life was actually so fragile in his hands.

The ruthlessness of this Mr. Z simply struck fear in her.

This doctor had died in his hands because he was no longer useful.

Then what about her?

Once she lost her value, would she turn into a corpse in his eyes? Would he also kill her in the same way?

Once such thoughts conceived in her head, they spread uncontrollably.

Just then, Wei Che went up to the entrance of the washroom, leaned against the door frame, and said in a cold voice, “It’s just a dead person. According to my knowledge, many have also died in your hands—Ning Yuya and Xiao Chengyu…”

When it came to ruthlessness, Xia Ruya didn’t pale in comparison.

Previously, she had paid someone to kill the three gangsters who kidnapped her.

Although she never participated in Yang Ziyu’s death, it was the result of her intentional manipulation of Ning Shuqian.

Although she didn’t personally kill Ning Shuqian, she had taken part in the entire planning process.

Needless to say for Ning Yuya and Xiao Chengyu.

Xia Ruya’s face was pale and she suddenly said in a sharp voice, “Shut up!”

Indeed, many people had died in her hands. In the past, she didn’t feel anything, but at this moment, she was stricken with fear.

Wei Che sneered but didn’t continue as he looked at her, secretly warning her. “Don’t worry, you’re more useful than him. As long as you obey me, I won’t kill you.”

A woman like Xia Ruya couldn’t be forced.

If one went overboard, it would instead do more harm than good.

Xia Ruya’s heart stopped momentarily as her throat dried up, but she was speechless.

Having interacted with Mr. Z for many years and especially after today’s incident, she was only filled with fear towards him. Thus, she didn’t believe his words at all.

China was in turmoil because of him and it was definitely a difficult feat to try to get out of the country. The road to escape was already filled with danger—how could it be possible that he would bring her along?

The seed of suspicion sprouted and grew rapidly in her heart.

“How’s the arrangement? Roughly when can I leave China?”

Previously, he had ordered to leave three days later, but Rex had moved even quicker than he had expected and caused an uproar in the entire Capital City. Worried that Xia Ruya would expose his whereabouts, he had temporarily suspended his original plan. Just like this, he had stayed at Xia Ruya’s place for five days.

However, seeing that the alliance’s powers were being eradicated, he knew that he couldn’t stay in the Capital City anymore. Sooner or later, Xia Ruya would be targeted and his whereabouts would be completely exposed.

He needed to leave China as soon as possible.

Xia Ruya replied with a trembling voice, “Everything is ready. Tomorrow, at 11:30 P.M., a car will fetch us out. When we arrive at Jin City, someone will bring us out to sea.”

Indeed, it wasn’t easy to complete this task, having to lay low and yet guarantee that their whereabouts wouldn’t be exposed. But she did it.

Wei Che relaxed his tensed gaze. “Is it safe?”

Capital City was already heavily guarded—it wasn’t an easy feat to get out to sea.

Although Xia Ruya was quite capable, it was still a huge risk to place his life in her hands. However, at this point, he had no choice but to take a gamble.

Xia Ruya nodded. “Very safe. I’ve arranged for someone to cover us. If anything goes wrong, the pawn will be sacrificed to save the chariot as we make our smooth escape.”

Wei Che understood her plan at once as he nodded and said, “That’ll do for the time being. You’ve done a good job—when I get out of China smoothly, I’ll give you everything you want.”

Xia Ruya’s plan was rather well thought out. He had no choice but to make do for the time being.

Having gotten the affirmation, Xia Ruya couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief. “Thank you, Mr. Z.”

Tumultuous emotions grew incessantly in her mind as she found it even hard to breathe.

Mr. Z was vicious and ruthless—his words held no weight at all.

All these years, the betrayal and abandonment that she had met with told her that in this world, the only person she could trust and rely on was herself.
