Chapter 99: Chapter 98: The Wicked Need the Wicked to Grind Them
Night had fallen.
Mi City International Airport.
In the vast and empty waiting hall, only Ruan Yu was present. Outside the window, a small white plane slowly glided into position on the runway.
It was a flight prepared specifically for her.
In half an hour, she would be able to leave this chaotic country behind, forget Tiantai Pharmaceutical and Wei Tianyang, and start a new life.
First, she would go to Hamister, then take the high-speed train to enter Yin Country. She had spent a fortune securing her escape route, though it emptied half of her wealth, but compared to the digital identity of a legitimate citizen of Yin Country, that money was nothing.
She sat in the chair, waiting for the plane to dock with the passenger bridge. Looking up once again at the starry sky beyond the airport’s skylight, she was filled with emotions.
Chicken Snake Country was not the worst place on earth, not by far. There were places in the world that were much worse.
But even just Chicken Snake Country was unbearable to her.
Over the past four years, she had often sat in her luxury SUV, observing the streets of Qiyang City through the window.
Whether it be the slums, the streets, or the relatively bustling areas like Linjiang and Wuliang, all gave her a deep sense of despair.
Sometimes, she would imagine: if she were a native citizen of Chicken Snake Country, how would she have spent these 35 years of her life?
Just the thought of it made her sigh and frown.
Even though her homeland, New Jia Shide, was far from being on par with Yin Country or the Sethiyan Federation, it was still much better than Chicken Snake Country.
Coming from a middle-class family, she had received a good education back home, and her looks and figure were also outstanding. Wherever she went, she was always the center of attention.
A princess in her childhood, a queen when she grew up.
If she and Wei Tianyang switched places, how far could she have gone?
Every time she entertained this thought, a derisive smile would appear on her face.
She had no desire to sympathize with that boy.
After all, being born with certain attributes is a skill in itself, and she could never switch places with Wei Tianyang.
It’s just... some people have bad luck, destined to be born in a shitty place, destined to be born at the bottom.
If they can’t live well, that’s their own problem. What does it have to do with her?
Outside the window, the plane had finished docking with the passenger bridge, and the green light at the boarding gate lit up.
"Goodbye, kid," Ruan Yu stood up, walking towards the boarding gate.
Into her field of vision suddenly barged two sturdy men in black suits.
They emerged from the shadows of the waiting hall, one on the left and one on the right, moving towards the direction of the boarding gate.
Ruan Yu frowned, feeling an unpleasant sensation rising from the bottom of her heart.
She quickened her pace, her high heels echoing in the quiet and vacant waiting hall.
The two men also picked up their speed a bit. Although they wore sunglasses, Ruan Yu could feel their unfriendly gaze.
She couldn’t help but start to run. The green light at the boarding gate flickered, drawing nearer and nearer to her.
It couldn’t be... she wouldn’t fall here, she was only twelve steps away from Yin Country...
Ruan Yu raced towards the boarding gate when suddenly, her back convulsed. An electric current shot up her spine to her forehead, and her body became unresponsive.
With a thud, she fell to the ground, her fingers spasming, the sound of electricity crackling in her ears.
The two men approached, one of them removed the head of the Taser Gun and replaced it with another, while the other made a phone call.
"Caught her, bringing her over now," he said.
Fuck... sold out... Ruan Yu cursed inwardly.
The green light at the passenger walkway shone on her face as she tried to get up, only to be kicked hard in the abdomen.
She curled up, feeling a sharp pain in her stomach, and a warm flow surged up her throat.
"Ugh..." She wanted to say something, but couldn’t.
The man pulled out a zip tie, bound her hands behind her back, and lifted her off the ground like a small chicken.
Anger colored Ruan Yu’s face as she looked at the man before her. In ordinary days, a bodyguard of his level wouldn’t dare touch her.
"I can walk on my own! Let go!" Ruan Yu shouted angrily.
The man laughed, took out a taser, pressed it to her abdomen, and flipped the switch.
"Ah ah!!!!" She screamed, feeling a warm flow between her thighs, and then she collapsed to the ground, seating herself in the "princess" position.
Two men then dragged her out of the airport by her arms and stuffed her into the trunk of a sedan.
After about four hours of jostling, the trunk opened again, and two men roughly dragged her out.
The night was deep, and the streets were empty in front of a five-story apartment building.
She knelt on one knee, her stockings torn at the knee, a large damp spot on her thigh, her hair a messy tangle, looking very disheveled.
But the two men had no regard for her dignity and propped her up to the top floor and knocked on the door.
After four knocks, a tall Western man with blonde hair and blue eyes stood before them.
"Moby Dick...!" she recognized him.
The head of Red Pharmaceutical’s acquisition department...
"Hello, Miss Ruan Yu. As a long-standing competitor, I’ve always wanted to invite you to my abode. But you always ignore my emails, which is quite distressing," Moby Dick said with a smile.
The dangerous curve of his smile sent shivers down Ruan Yu’s spine, and she knew well what kind of man he was. Her previously weak legs suddenly found strength as she turned to run, only to be firmly held by the two men.
Moby Dick’s smile vanished, his expression turning fierce as he punched Ruan Yu hard in the abdomen. Ruan Yu doubled over, saliva trailing from her parted lips, her eyes bloodshot.
"Please, take her inside. You know what to do," Moby Dick instructed.
He stood alone outside the door, glanced once more down the empty street, and then returned to the room.
The door closed, blocking the moonlight, and from inside the room, the muffled sound of a woman’s resistance could be heard.
hours earlier, in an old street dozens of kilometers away.
Li Fei, dressed in camouflage pants and a black tank top, had just completed her fitness routine for the night.
These days, besides planning the assault on the territory of the radicals, her most frequent task was to clear the streets and buildings buried by the debris from the collapse of Sacred Mountain.
Yet Li Fei had no intention of holding anyone accountable. After all, a revolution comes at a price; Wei Tianyang did what he could, even creating a victorious opportunity for the New Liberation Front—no one would blame him.
Moreover, he had brought back his parents and their predecessors...
That afternoon, Moby Dick had called to inform her of the operation’s failure—she’d indirectly lost 200 soldiers and Min Li.
But Li Fei didn’t feel the loss. After all, Min Li’s father had once been part of the radicals for a time, and their group only followed Min Li’s commands, sometimes even openly opposing Li Fei’s decisions.
It was like removing a dissident.
Sitting by the window, with a heavy heart, Li Fei looked at her reflection and, after much hesitation, finally spoke:
"Is it right or wrong to cooperate with Red Pharmaceutical? How should I... decide?"
At that moment, a layer of fog appeared on the mirror, and then five words emerged: "A necessary sacrifice."
Having received her mother’s affirmation, Li Fei smiled.
"They will understand my choice; they will forgive me... For my country, I am willing to pay any price..."
