墨書 Inktalez
When Ziyan was chasing the woman known as Red Sister, the notorious Drug Lord, she reached the highest point of a cliff in the jungle.
At this moment, Red Sister was standing at the edge of the cliff with no way to escape. Ziyan took a few steps closer and threw a pair of handcuffs onto the ground in front of Red Sister.
"Come and get them yourself."
Strangely enough, despite her predicament, Red Sister remained calm, showing little panic. Her face only appeared slightly fatigued, and a glint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes as she sat down on the ground, breathing heavily.
Then, without haste, she spoke towards Ziyan's back, "I'm exhausted. Ji Shaochen, you're here too. What are you waiting for? Are you really infatuated with her?"
Ji Shaochen?
A sudden strong sense of foreboding washed over Ziyan as she stared at Red Sister in disbelief.
While keeping a wary eye on her surroundings, she sensed a figure approaching from behind. Instinctively, she felt a gun barrel pressed against her temple.
This person carried an aura that was all too familiar to her.
Realizing she had been careless, Ziyan reluctantly accepted this fact and turned her gaze toward the newcomer.
When she finally saw the person's face clearly, she was shocked to confront the harsh reality—this person was indeed someone she had always trusted the most.
Frustrated with herself, Ziyan couldn't help but mock her own naivety: Ziyan, how could you be betrayed by the one you trusted most and remain completely unaware? How foolish can you be?
After her self-deprecation, she steeled herself, gritted her teeth, exhaled sharply, and fixed a cold, piercing gaze on him.
With disdain, she scoffed and said, "It really is you, Ji Shaochen! A distinguished graduate from a prestigious police academy, and yet you willingly become a lackey for criminals? What a waste of all those years of training from the country."
Ji Shaochen fell silent for a moment and took a deep breath.
"I'm sorry, Yan'er, I've done some calculations. In our line of work as police officers, we struggle and fight for the so-called country and the so-called people, but in the end, all we can do is ensure our basic needs are met. Fine, let's call it a decent life, but so what? Look at what kind of houses others live in and what kind of cars they drive. I grew up in an orphanage, enduring so much unfair treatment. That would be enough, but in the end, because I have no background or support, my life's value can only be as a nameless worker on the front lines, risking my life at any moment. I don't want to live like this forever; I want to live in a mansion one day, drive a nice car, travel the world with my Beloved One, going wherever I want without worrying about money—how wonderful that would be!"
At this point, Ji Shaochen sighed deeply, his eyes flashing with affection and weakness as he looked at Ziyan.
He continued to express his feelings: "I have long since grown tired of poverty and being looked down upon. Yan'er, but at the same time, I don't want to lose you. Join us! Red Sister won't treat us unfairly. Do you know? The Beetle I bought for you was also funded by Red Sister."
"Ha ha, so you've already been bought off by Red Sister? Tell me, when did you start working for her?"
Ziyan asked helplessly and painfully.
"Well, fine! Since you already know so much, I won't be afraid to come clean with you today. In fact, I met Red Sister ten years ago. When you were adopted and went to an elite school, do you know how envious I was of you? Just when I was almost losing hope, Red Sister came to the orphanage. She has been supporting me all these years when no one else cared about me, allowing me to complete my studies smoothly. She is my benefactor!"
"So that's how it is?"
Ziyan finally understood the whole story. She snorted coldly again and raised her chin, staring intently at Red Sister.
"You had this planned all along; your support for him to go to school must have had ulterior motives, right? This web is woven very deeply! It's truly despicable to use someone's gratitude and that bit of vanity to ruin a promising young man and make them willingly become your pawns."
"Stop talking. I don't blame Red Sister. At this point, I just want to ask you one question, Yan'er: will you join us?"
"What if I don't want to join you?"
Ziyan looked at Ji Shaochen with disdain, her eyes filled with resolute defiance as she retorted.
"Are you really not going to join us?"
The two fell silent for a moment.
"Shaocheng, everyone has their own aspirations. Since Officer Zi doesn't want to team up with us, why should we force it? Women? There are plenty of rich ones out there. Don't let a small loss hinder our big plans."
Sitting on the ground, Red Sister urged Ji Shaochen forcefully and fiercely.
"Shut up, you despicable and shameless drug dealer."
Ziyan couldn't hold back any longer and shouted angrily at Red Sister.
"Yan'er, I will ask you one last time: will you join us or not?"
"No—I won't. Ji Shaochen, listen to my advice: the sea of suffering is boundless; turning back is the shore. As long as you pull back from the brink and take this woman back, turn yourself in, and capture all the drug dealers in this line, you can strive for leniency. No matter how many years you're sentenced to, I solemnly swear to you today: I—Ziyan—will definitely wait for the day you get out of prison."
Just as the two were arguing endlessly, Red Sister's eyes narrowed slightly, and a fierce look flashed across her gaze. Suddenly, she lunged at Ziyan with lightning speed.
Before Ziyan and Ji Shaochen could react, Red Sister struck with both hands, using all her strength to push Ziyan off the edge of the cliff.
In an instant, the unprepared Ziyan fell rapidly toward the bottom of the sheer cliff, still hearing Ji Shaochen's desperate shouts: "Red Sister, no! Don't! Yan'er! Yan'er! Yán—er."
