Zhao Mingyuan, having regained his composure from the shock, let out a cold laugh. "So you are Li Li. Hmph, the moon was right; you really are naive."
I glanced past Su Yuemei towards Zhao Mingyuan and noticed his hand moving towards his waist.
He has a gun! Fear surged through me like a tidal wave, but at the same time, an unprecedented calm washed over me.
Before my brain could fully process the situation, my body reacted first—performing a move I had never imagined I could execute in my life—a leap and roll! A bullet whizzed past my head!
I ducked behind a desk, astonished by the agility that didn’t seem to belong to me...
However, Zhao Mingyuan didn’t give me time to digest this change in my body. He fired several shots in my direction, bullets striking the desk and sending splinters flying everywhere.
Forget about the extraordinary reaction of my body for now. Little Pervert, I’ll leave this body to you for now; just be careful with it!
I took a deep breath, focused my attention, and seized the moment when Zhao Mingyuan paused. I suddenly dashed out from behind the desk, grabbing a chair to hurl at him.
In the chaos, I saw Su Yuemei standing nearby in terror. My body acted again before my brain could catch up. The instant the chair struck Zhao Mingyuan, I quickly jumped up and grabbed the stunned Su Yuemei, pressing a pair of scissors against her neck.
The room fell into silence, with only our rapid breaths audible alongside the distant sounds of chaos and footsteps outside...
I knew others would be coming soon. I was alone; even if I were an Abnormal Killer, it wouldn’t matter.
I was doomed.
At that moment, a cold glint flashed in Zhao Mingyuan's eyes as he aimed his gun at me.
"Don't move!" I panted, "If you take another step, I'll slit her throat."
"Hmph, let her go and I'll make your death quick," he replied coldly. "Do you really think you can walk out of here?"
Since death was inevitable anyway, I found myself growing calmer. "Maybe not, but if you dare to shoot, she will die before I do."
Zhao Mingyuan's gaze flickered between me and Su Yuemei, his expression sending chills down my spine. Suddenly, a cruel smile crept across his lips. I realized something was off too late.
Bang!
The gunshot echoed deafeningly in the enclosed space. A sharp pain shot through me as warm liquid flowed down my left shoulder. Su Yuemei's body jolted violently before she slowly crumpled down.
"Moon!" I tried to catch her but fell to the ground with her.
"No... why... Mingyuan..." Su Yuemei murmured in disbelief as she looked down at the spreading bloodstain on her chest. She lifted her head and used her last strength to gaze at Zhao Mingyuan; despair filled her unblinking eyes.
And Zhao Mingyuan? He watched it all with an expressionless face as if he hadn’t just killed someone who loved him deeply. He raised his gun again; this time the dark muzzle was aimed at my head.
I released the lifeless moon, gently wiping away the tears that had fallen on her face, and closed her eyes for her.
Images of my parents' loving smiles flashed through my mind, along with Ji Tianming's worried gaze, and Little Pervert, which seemed to be stirring restlessly. But it was useless now; it was about to die with me.
I had no regrets. Because I, Li Li, never backed down. Not even when facing death.
I calmly lifted my head and stared directly at Zhao Mingyuan, determined to watch him pull the trigger.
Time seemed to stretch as I saw his finger slowly squeeze the trigger. I could almost hear the gunshot ringing in my ears.
Bang!
My body instinctively twitched.
However, the anticipated pain did not come. Instead, I saw Zhao Mingyuan's astonished expression as crimson began to seep from his chest, his body swaying backward before collapsing.
Dazed, I turned my head to see Ji Tianming standing at the doorway, still holding the gun in his hand.
Everything that followed felt like a slow-motion scene from a movie: police officers streamed in one after another, the chaotic sounds outside grew louder, and someone rushed towards Zhao Mingyuan…
Ji Tianming strode towards me; his lips were moving, but I couldn't hear what he was saying.
I only felt a wave of dizziness before plunging into darkness.

What happened next was a natural progression. The Provincial Department's task force and Special Police controlled the entire warehouse, arresting all relevant individuals on site while conducting a thorough search of the premises. Box after box of confidential documents was seized.
As further investigations unfolded, a wealth of evidence emerged, implicating not only the Personality Trading Black Market but also numerous corruption issues within both political and business circles. This case had far-reaching implications and shocked the entire nation.
...
Yet none of this mattered to me anymore as I lay in a hospital bed, declining all interviews.
By the window, my mother was arranging the meals she had brought, and soon the delicious aroma filled the entire ward.
My father sat on the sofa, scrolling through his phone while occasionally glancing up at me with an expression that seemed to say, "You can stir up trouble all you want; sooner or later, I'll make you scared to death."
Ji Tianming sat by my bedside, awkwardly peeling an orange.
"You... why are your hands so clumsy? You can’t even peel an orange without getting juice all over yourself..."
"Alright, you little ungrateful one!" He reached out with his sticky, juice-covered hand, ignoring my desperate attempts to dodge, and smeared it right across my face.
