"Shen Mingyue, do you think I'm a three-year-old child?"
"If he is an undercover agent, why would he save you?"
I took a deep breath and recited the explanation I had prepared: "Because I received a tip-off that there is another organ trafficking gang in Northern Myanmar."
"He suspects you, but without solid evidence, he wants to come back to save you and gain your trust."
Liang Ze stared at me and suddenly laughed, "Your storytelling ability is quite impressive; I'm almost convinced."
I forced a bitter smile, "But you still don't believe me."
"Shen Mingyue, I'll give you one last chance."
"What happened to the gunshot wound on your shoulder?"
I sighed, "It was during my escape when Guo Zhiguang found me. He wanted to silence me, but he missed."
Liang Ze narrowed his eyes, "And what about Liu Yang?"
"How did he die?"
My face changed dramatically, "What did you say? Liu Yang is dead?"
Liang Ze sneered, "Shen Mingyue, even now, you're still playing games with me."
"You truly have no intention of repenting."
He lit a cigarette and slowly leaned closer to me.
In the next moment, the burning tip fell onto my chest.
I trembled in pain but bit my lip hard to keep myself from making a sound.
Liang Ze, I once saved your life.
And now, this is how you treat me.
What you owe me can never be repaid in this lifetime.
After Liang Ze left, I completely lost my strength and collapsed onto the bed.
That night, a little girl came to bring me food.
She was about five feet tall, wearing a black eye patch over one eye, while the other was exceptionally beautiful.
When she saw me, her eyes lit up. "Sister, you are so beautiful!"
I looked at her and frowned slightly.
"Your eyes..."
The little girl touched her own eyes, her expression dimming. "Sister, do you think I'm ugly too?"
I shook my head. "I was just a bit surprised."
"What’s your name?"
The little girl smiled brightly. "My name is Xiao Ma, and I’m responsible for taking care of you."
"From now on, I will take care of all your daily needs."
I nodded and didn’t say anything more.
After Xiao Ma left, I finally let out a sigh of relief. It wasn't that I found her ugly; I was just startled by her disfigured appearance.
After dinner, Xiao Ma came to bring me medicine.
When she saw the injury on my face, she looked shocked. "Sister, what happened to you?"
I sighed. "It's nothing, just an accident."
Xiao Ma looked concerned. "It must hurt a lot, right?"
"I have some snow ointment; if you apply a little, it will feel much better."
I shook my head. "No need, it will be fine in a couple of days."
Xiao Ma looked stubborn. "No! You are so beautiful; it wouldn’t look good if you have a scar."
She carefully opened the box, scooped out a bit of ointment with her fingertip, and gently applied it to my face.
Just as I was about to say something, a cold voice suddenly came from behind us: "What are you doing?"
Xiao Ma trembled and quickly knelt on the ground. "Ze Ge, I... I was applying medicine to Sister."
Liang Ze's face darkened as he kicked Xiao Ma to the ground. "Who allowed you to apply medicine to her?"
Xiao Ma lay on the ground, shivering. "Ze Ge, Sister's face is injured. If it’s not treated in time, it could get serious."
Liang Ze let out a cold snort and stepped on her hand, crushing it mercilessly. "Xiao Ma, do you think my words are just empty air?"
"I said, without my orders, no one is allowed to give her anything."
"What do you take my words for?"
Xiao Ma trembled in pain but dared not make a sound. She looked at Liang Ze with a pleading expression, hoping he would spare her. But Liang Ze showed no mercy; he even pulled out a gun and pressed it against her head.
"Since you won't listen, then these eyes are of no use anymore."
"I'm going to take them right now."
Xiao Ma panicked completely; she closed her eyes and shouted loudly, "Ze Ge, don't!"
I could no longer hold back and yelled, "Liang Ze, let her go!"
Liang Ze stopped in his tracks and turned to look at me, his gaze icy. "When you betrayed me back then, did you ever think about today?"
"Shen Mingyue, this is what you brought upon yourself."
"You abandoned me for your medal of honor and your ridiculous beliefs."
"And now you actually want me to go easy on her?"
"I'm telling you, that's impossible!"
