Chapter 361: Regret?Hahaha—! What A Funny Word!

’Ugh... I feel so weak all over... and hungry.’

’Where am I?’

’How long was I asleep?’

As Ye Chen slowly regained consciousness, memories of what had happened before she lost consciousness also returned.

After making love with Wu Lao, the two of them had been resting when explosions suddenly began occurring around them. They had tried to escape, but another explosion caused the building to collapse, trapping them beneath the rubble.

’Right... where’s Wu Lao?’

Her eyes slowly fluttered open, and her dry lips parted as she spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Wu Lao..."

"Wu Lao, huh? Is that person important to you?" A deep, questioning voice suddenly reached her ears.

’Whose voice is this? It sounds familiar.’

Ye Chen slowly regained her vision. She found herself tied to a chair, with two very familiar men standing in front of her and staring at her coldly.

’No way... How could it be them?!’

Her pupils trembled in disbelief as she recognized them.

"Gao Xufan... Gu Xuan... Why are you here?"

"Do you think you can escape us forever, Ye Chen?" Gu Xuan stared at her with a chilling gaze filled with murderous intent, along with a hint of probing.

Hearing Gu Xuan call her by name felt as though a cold hammer had struck her mind. Ye Chen immediately wanted to deny it. She wanted to claim that they had found the wrong person. However, the moment those words reached her lips, they changed.

"How did you find me?"

Gu Xuan and Gao Xufan’s expressions changed. She really was Ye Chen!? Dowblis hadn’t been lying! Gu Xuan gritted his teeth before stepping forward. He grabbed her hair with his right hand and forcefully pulled her face closer to his.

"Hiss!" Ye Chen hissed in pain, but Gu Xuan didn’t care.

"You scheming bastard. You truly hid it well. You even tricked Zhu Shan by changing your gender."

’Ah, I see.’

’So Zhu Shan found me out. No wonder.’

Ye Chen quickly pieced everything together. After she had fallen unconscious for some reason, her identity must have been exposed. Zhu Shan then must have handed her over to Gu Xuan.

’So ruthless of you, Zhu Shan.’

’For the sake of a mission, you actually dared to plot against the mistress of your sect’s Young Master.’

Thinking of Wu Lao, a flash of tenderness appeared in her eyes.

’I wonder if he’s okay? Will he be worried about me?’

Gu Xuan sneered when he saw the expression on her face.

"That disgusting expression doesn’t suit you, Ye Chen."

"You ruthless dog. Have you changed your ways after becoming a woman?"

"It doesn’t matter. After everything you have done, even if you are now a woman, I won’t show you any mercy."

Ye Chen snapped out of her thoughts. Feeling the pain in her scalp, she grinned.

"I never expected... after everything, I would still be caught by you two."

The corners of her eyes shifted toward Gao Xufan, who stood behind Gu Xuan, silently staring at her.

"What’s wrong, Mayor Gao? Don’t you have anything to say too?"

Ye Chen sneered.

"You should be happy. Now you can finally avenge your wife and daughter."

"But you should remember, I’m not the only one you should be angry with. All those escaped prisoners should also be the targets of your anger."

Gao Xufan remained expressionless. His voice was cold and devoid of emotion.

"You are the only one left. They are all dead."

Ye Chen was taken aback, and her pupils shook with terror. She had never expected that a coward like Gao Xufan could become so decisive. He had actually killed so many people.

"...You’ve changed." Her voice carried disbelief. "The previous you would never have had such courage. At most, you would have left them to the law to judge."

Gao Xufan replied coldly,

"The previous me is already dead."

His eyes remained emotionless.

"The only reason I am still alive is to finish this revenge and make you regret everything you did to them."

Ye Chen grinned through the pain before sneering mercilessly.

"Regret? Hahaha... What a funny word."

"I have never regretted anything I’ve done."

"Whether it was your family, Mayor Gao, or your idiot girlfriend, Gu Xuan. Their lives were worthless."

Gu Xuan tightened his grip on her hair, his eyes bloodshot.

Despite the pain, she turned her head and met Gu Xuan’s eyes.

"If there is one thing I regret, it’s that I couldn’t fuck her more. I must say, she was quite sexy—"

"Shut up!"

Enraged, Gu Xuan jerked her head back and slapped her hard across the face.

Smack!

"Ptui!"

Ye Chen spat blood onto the ground before grinning at Gu Xuan.

"What’s wrong? Are you angry?"

"Then do you know how angry I was?"

"Ever since I arrived in Jiangnan, you continuously targeted me. You sent people to kill me in prison, then even went as far as hiring gunmen and a cultivator to kill me."

"I must say, you really outdid yourself, Gu Xuan. If my hands weren’t tied up, I would have applauded."

Smash!

Gu Xuan punched her hard across the face. "For someone like you, a hundred deaths wouldn’t be enough."

"Cough... cough... Yes, yes. I’ve heard that plenty."

Ye Chen’s swollen face was already covered in blood, yet her maniacal smile didn’t disappear.

"I have another regret. Want to hear it?"

She looked at Gu Xuan like a lunatic.

"Listen carefully. I regret not being able to fuck your sister. Turn her into my personal toy. Torture her until she completely breaks!"

Gu Xuan’s teeth clenched. He punched her again and again. Until her face was swollen and his fists were stained with blood. Gao Xufan simply stood there, watching Ye Chen being beaten without saying a word.

It hurt pretty bad. Yet even then, Ye Chen’s laughter didn’t stop.

"Hahaha... Even if you kill me, this isn’t the end. Wu Lao will avenge me."

Wu Lao was definitely alive. This was her belief and trust in the man she chose.

"Taking me away from him was your biggest mistake."
