Chapter 308: Chapter 301: Split Personality

"So you’re saying that the Sister Moumou we’re facing now isn’t the same Sister Moumou from before?" Hu Daoke stared at him, obviously confused by Cheng Ziang’s conclusions.

"Multiple Personality Disorder; she’s still Sister Moumou, just not the same personality from before!" Baiyue coldly responded from the side.

Hu Daoke looked at her in horror, then at Tangmo, and couldn’t help but exclaim, "You mean Sister Moumou’s body houses two souls?"

"That seems to be the case," Cheng Ziang focused on her, stating somberly, "I know Moumou; she wouldn’t hurt Luo’er, let alone want to kill him, regardless of how angry or frustrated she is. This is a different Moumou!"

"Step back! Everyone step back or I’ll kill him, even if it means we all die!" Tangmo, oblivious to their conversation, continued to threaten them loudly.

"Should we step in?" Yalunte casually walked up to Cheng Ziang, asking softly. Now that Cheng Ziang had taken charge, Yalunte wanted to lend some support to this son he couldn’t recognize.

"Are you sure you can do it?" Cheng Ziang asked without even turning his head.

"As long as I can cut off the tendons in her arm, we can dispossess her of the knife!" Yalunte stated in all honesty. Facing such a perilous situation, he didn’t dare use the Control Enemy Skill to remove the knife from Tangmo’s hand, because he could tell that Tangmo was really willing to act, not just threatening everyone with bluffs.

"Forget it, you best not interfere." Upon hearing that it would hurt Tangmo, Cheng Ziang immediately turned down this suggestion.

After all, their current conflict was internal. Although Yalunte served as an informant for the Headquarters, he had no place in intervening in the dispute of the Advance Team.

Not to mention, he wasn’t the only one unwilling to hurt Tangmo. Even the hostage Luo’er wouldn’t agree to it. The original Tangmo wouldn’t want to see Luo’er hurt, and the feeling was mutual for Luo’er.

"Everyone, step back!" After much contemplation, Cheng Ziang decided to fulfill Tangmo’s demand first, raising his hands to signal everyone to retreat.

"Little Ke, kill that bitch for me!" Tangmo, glaring at Feliz, spoke through gritted teeth.

Upon hearing that Tangmo wanted to kill her, Feliz’s face turned deathly pale and she instinctively stepped back. She was now deeply worried that the others would obey Tangmo’s orders and do something to harm her.

"Sister Moumou, please don’t do this..." Hu Daoke looked at her, troubled. Although he appeared gruff on the outside, he was not cruel at heart. He simply couldn’t kill an innocent girl for no reason.

"You won’t even listen to your own sister’s words anymore!" Seeing that Hu Daoke refused her demand, Tangmo’s face twisted even further as she asked furiously through gritted teeth.

"You’re not my sister..." Hu Daoke looked at her and responded firmly.

"Moumou, if you’re trying to use me as a bargaining chip to threaten everyone into killing Feliz, I would rather die than comply." Luo’er, who was held captive by her, stated calmly.

During the time she held him hostage, he had been trying to break free from his restraints but the nylon bindings were not so easily broken. He could probably struggle until his thumb lost all its blood and necrotized without being able to set himself free.

"So, you care so much about that bitch, you’re so infatuated, you badly want to die...then let’s die together, that way you’ll be mine and only mine forever!" Hearing his words, Tangmo’s face twisted even more fiercely, her tone of voice became hysterical and her eyes filled with murderous intention and resolve.

As she said this, she slightly rotated the dagger and pressed the sharp blade against Luo’er’s throat. All she had to do was exert a little force and the blade would instantly pierce Luo’er’s neck, cutting open his windpipe and arteries. Then, the blood gushing from his artery would flood his windpipe, causing him to slowly suffocate.

"Stop!" Seeing Tangmo’s excessive actions, everyone immediately became anxious. Baiyue even lifted her sniper rifle and pointed it at her, ready to pull the trigger at a moment’s notice.

Luo’er closed his eyes, not daring to watch as the dagger plunged into his own throat. He trembled slightly. This was the closest he’d been to death, and he knew that Tangmo would definitely act, she wouldn’t threaten him in this way.

Just as everyone was expecting a tragedy to unfold, to their surprise, Tangmo didn’t act. She was seen with wide eyes, her hand holding the knife trembling slightly and a surprised look appeared on her ferocious face.

Because they were so close, Luo’er could even hear the gritting of her teeth in anger. He could feel Tangmo’s whole body trembling slightly, not at all as composed as before, as if she was fearful of something.

After enduring for a moment, Tangmo ultimately did not stab him, but once again pressed the blade against his blood-soaked neck, and continued to shout threats. "No one is allowed to come closer, everyone retreat!"

Saying so, she held on to the captive Luo’er, and slowly began to back away, clearly intending to abscond with him.

"Old Cheng, what do we do now?" Seeing Tangmo planning to run off with Luo’er, Hu Daoke looked anxiously at Cheng Ziang.

"Let them go, don’t follow!" Cheng Ziang waved his hand, speaking calmly.

"But, she, she took him hostage..." Hu Daoke said helplessly.

"It’s okay, Luo’er is safe for the moment in her hands, we shouldn’t follow them directly to avoid provoking her," said Cheng Ziang.

"If it really doesn’t work out, let Yue’er try to snipe her. It’s okay if we injure her, at least we should rescue the kid first." Faced with this situation, even Hu Daoke began to not support Tangmo anymore.

Cheng Ziang glanced at him, then shook his head and said, "You might be okay with that, but Luo’er might not agree. As the saying goes, ’hold off capturing to catch’, let them go first, then figure out how to rescue Luo’er."

"But... ah!!" Hu Daoke watched him, then looked at Tangmo and his companion getting further and further away, stomping his foot anxiously.

The two retreated to the horses. Tangmo had Luo’er stand in front, then wielded her knife to cut the horse’s reins, and used a dagger to frightened them off.

Then, she held Luo’er hostage while riding a horse. She also climbed on the horse herself, embracing Luo’er and then leading the horse away by the reins.

"Damn, she scared away the horses!" Hu Daoke exclaimed.

"What are you waiting for, go after them!" Cheng Ziang said calmly.

"Then, I’m going!" Hu Daoke nodded. At this moment, he unexpectedly didn’t start an argument with Cheng Ziang.

"Master, can you keep up with them?" Cheng Ziang turned his head and asked Yalunte. Among all the people present, only he still had a horse.

"I can. I’ll leave marks along the way for you to follow!" Yalunte nodded. When it came to his son’s orders, there was no hesitation.

"I’m sorry for the trouble!" Cheng Ziang sincerely said.

Receiving his son’s gratitude made Yalunte’s heart bloom with joy. He smiled and nodded, then rode off in pursuit of Tangmo and his companion, who had already disappeared from sight.

After making the arrangements, Cheng Ziang couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. Because of the unexpected situation, he had to take over the responsibility as captain. He thought of Luo’er’s original intention of making him the deputy captain and felt he was shirking pressure.

Just as he was starting to relax, he saw Baiyue walk straight up to him, then glare at him, accusing, "Since you already knew there was something wrong with Sister Moumou, why didn’t you handle her early on? It has led to this outcome!"

"Calm down a bit. At that time, we were only suspicious. As the saying goes, ’innocent until proven guilty’. We couldn’t do anything to her just based on our suspicions. After all, she was our comrade," Cheng Ziang patiently explained.

"Innocent until proven guilty, ha, look at the situation now. It’s because of your appeasement policy that led to this ending. Since you already knew she wasn’t Sister Moumou, you should have captured her immediately!" Baiyue became more and more excited as she spoke.

"Calm down, don’t be too emotional," Cheng Ziang demonstrated his patience when faced with Baiyue. "I know you’re worried about Luo’er, but Moumou was our comrade. You spent the most time with her, you should understand her best. I know you both liked Luo’er, and looked at each other as competitors. However, under that situation just now, would you have really shot? Moumou was only controlled by another personality. Do you want to kill her original personality as well?"

Faced with Cheng Ziang’s explanation, Baiyue remained silent for a moment, finding no reason to argue back and all she could do was grit her teeth in frustration. Despite her difficulty expressing her feelings, she wasn’t a heartless person. If she had to kill Tangmo to save Luo’er, she wouldn’t have been able to do it at any cost.

"Well, um, I, I’m here, but... am I kind of superfluous now..." As the tension settled down again, Feliz finally gathered enough courage and uneasily asked.

Cheng Ziang turned his head and took a look at her. In a way, she could be considered the one who caused this trouble. But to blame the whole problem on her would be a bit irresponsible.

After all, their own delay and appeasement contributed to Moumou’s problem. If they had known about her mental health issues and had her return for treatment immediately, perhaps they wouldn’t be in this mess. Feliz’s interference was at most a trigger, not the root cause.

With a slight sigh, Cheng Ziang softened his tone and said: "This has nothing to do with you, it’s a problem within our team."

"Oh, oh..." Feliz quickly nodded, watching them timidly, not daring to say another word.

After experiencing a startling situation just now, even the hot-tempered young lady, Feliz, didn’t dare to express her opinions too openly in such a situation.
