Captain Lu was aloof again today.

Chapter 27 Disaster
Yan Zhi's expression grew increasingly gloomy.

Seeing the two on the verge of exchanging blows, Wei Qingsong's expression turned cold, and the string of reason in her mind snapped.

She strode forward, stood in front of Yan Zhi, and said coldly in a voice only the two of them could hear, "I'm warning you, don't make any rash moves, or Wilson's fate will be your fate."

Yan Zhi's brow twitched, and he stared at her without saying a word.

Wei Qingsong pursed his lips, his gaze cold and sharp, with a do-or-die determination: "From the moment I successfully arrived in Y country, you should have known that I joined the FBI's witness protection program. I don't mind telling you that in addition to the FBI, the ICPO is also keeping an eye on the fugitives of 'Evil Fruit'."

"I don't know what methods you used to escape the 'bad consequences' and how you can still stand here unscathed threatening me. Perhaps there was a problem within the FBI, which is why my testimony was flawed and you weren't sent to jail. Bai Liwan has connections everywhere and can pull strings with the FBI, but what about the ICPO? The CIA?"

"As long as I live in this world, you must live in fear unless you rule the whole world and change all the rules of this world. If you can't do that, then you'd better keep your tail between your legs in front of me."

Seeing Yan Zhi's increasingly unpleasant expression, Wei Qingsong laughed heartily, her eyes filled with the same madness as Yan Zhi's earlier.

"Do you really think I returned to the country alone? Let me tell you, Yan Zhi, don't underestimate me. I learned a lot during those two months in Satan Prison. If you dare to make any rash moves and do anything to displease me, I don't mind fighting to the death and taking your entire Bailiwan prison down with you."

After hearing her resolute words, Yan Zhi narrowed his eyes and suddenly smiled.

“How interesting. I told you long ago that you should join ‘Evil Fruit’. You have the blood of a demon flowing in your veins; you are a born demon.”

Wei Qingsong's lips curled slightly, his eyes filled with sarcasm: "Don't insult me ​​with your filthy bloodline. Six years ago, you used so many psychotropic drugs on me, yet I was still able to send Wilson to Satan Prison. You should understand that we have never been on the same side."

She had seen the most intense sunlight, so how could she willingly submit to darkness?

She would rather let the sunlight burn her eyes than let the darkness seep into her bones.

Upon returning to Tangzhou, she bid farewell to herself from the past six years.

She wanted to go back to being an ordinary person, instead of a "criminal" standing in court being aggressively questioned.

Because of Lu Jingming's presence, she would no longer put herself in such a state of flux between darkness and light.

She hadn't expected Yan Zhi to come knocking on her door so soon, nor had she expected that Lu Jingming would witness her meeting with Yan Zhi so coincidentally.

Wei Qingsong didn't want her shameful side to be exposed to Lu Jingming so soon. Rather than that, she would rather confront Yan Zhi head-on.

She suddenly remembered that six years ago, when Yan Zhi had the psychologist hypnotize her for the last time, the instruction he gave her was to kill Lu Jingming.

That day, she kept banging her head against the iron walls of the confinement cell and almost bit off her tongue.

Lu Jingming was someone she would rather die than hurt.

She was carried out of the confinement room, her body mangled and bloodied. While receiving treatment, a note was slipped into her hand.

The nurse who handed her the note was an FBI undercover agent in "Evil Fruit".

With the nurse's help, she staged a scene that nearly killed Wilson.

Yan Zhi's gentle face suddenly twitched violently, as if provoked by one of her words.

Wei Qingsong straightened her back and sneered, "So, don't provoke me again."

She has suffered torment worse than death and faced the threat of death. She is not even afraid of death, so what else is there to fear?
Six years ago, the organization called "Evil Fruit" was at its peak, and she was able to send its leader, Wilson, to prison. Now, "Evil Fruit" has long since disappeared with Wilson's arrest.

Scattered soldiers like Yan Zhi pose no threat to her whatsoever.

Yan Zhi narrowed his eyes at her with a hint of apprehension, and after a long while, said indifferently, "The devil's fruit will bloom for you sooner or later."

After saying this ambiguous sentence, he slightly raised his eyes, glanced at Lu Jingming not far away, sneered, and then turned and left.

Wei Qingsong's tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and she realized that her whole body had gone limp. She took a slight step, staggered, and almost lost her balance.

Ultimately, she's not a superhero; she's just a normal person who still feels fear when faced with a dangerous figure like Yan Zhi.

She stood there for a long time, then slowly let out a breath, turned around and looked at Lu Jingming, whose expression was complicated, and smiled sweetly.

"Thank you so much for speaking up for me earlier. I don't know what I would have done without you here."

Wei Qingsong's expression was relaxed and natural, as if nothing had just happened.

Lu Jingming looked at her coldly, his expression indifferent: "I didn't speak up for you, I was just maintaining order in Tangzhou."

Wei Qingsong shrugged nonchalantly: "Who cares what your motives were? All I know is that you protected me, and I'm very grateful to you. So I've decided to treat you to dinner. How about it?"

After she finished speaking, she winked at him playfully.

Lu Jingming snorted coldly: "I have nothing to do with you, so I'm afraid I'm not worthy of such a treat."

As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that there was something strange about what he had said, and he frowned in annoyance.

Wei Qingsong smiled brightly: "So what do you want to have to do with me?"

Lu Jingming: "..."

"Nonsense." Lu Jingming's expression darkened slightly as he quickly brushed past her.

"Oh, don't be so rigid. You need to be more flexible." Wei Qingsong stuck to him like glue, raising her eyebrows. "Since you saved me just now, you're my benefactor. How can you say we're not related?"

Lu Jingming stopped in his tracks, and Wei Qingsong almost bumped into him.

He looked down at her coldly: "Don't follow me, consider it repaying a debt of gratitude."

Wei Qingsong shook his head and said righteously, "That won't do. Wouldn't that make me seem petty?"

Lu Jingming's eyes turned slightly cold as he stared intently at her: "You follow me wherever I go, is that right?"

Wei Qingsong nodded resolutely.

He suddenly laughed, but the laugh was somewhat cold.

"It's Jinghuan's birthday today. I'm going to pick up the cake and throw her a party tonight."

Wei Qingsong was slightly taken aback, gently bit her lip, and the smile on her face disappeared.

"After I left, how has Jinghuan been? Has she been receiving proper treatment?"

His voice was icy, and he exuded a chilling aura: "She's not you. She can't even keep her own promises. On the day of the surgery, she waited from morning till night, and you know perfectly well what happened."

Wei Qingsong remained silent.

That day, of course, she did not arrive as promised.

Where was she that day? She was already on a giant ship sailing to a foreign land, under heavy surveillance by the FBI, recalling those nightmarish seven days over and over again, repeating her testimony until her throat was dry.

She was like a lab rat, subjected to relentless interrogation by one psychiatric expert after another, without any dignity.

She couldn't understand why the psychiatric evaluation experts' job was to prove her innocence.

Why are they all so full of doubt, so eager to pin the blame on her immediately, and so eager to send her to the most famous prison in the world, Satan Prison?

I heard that the place holds the world's most vicious and notorious death row inmates.

This is just a setup, but those of you with vivid imaginations should be able to guess what it is. I'll explain in detail later, so don't be confused, haha.

That's it for today's two updates. Tomorrow's the PK round, so please give me your recommendation votes so I can go further! ヾ()~
