The last Terminator debuts in Iron Man
Words didn't match, half a sentence more, I learned that this time he aimed his final target at Yuan Lei, our topic also became somewhat tense, and he turned back into the ruthless killer who used to be indifferent to me.
But human life is at stake, even if he's just following orders, that's still a sinful act. I consider him a friend, and through the last incident, Ming Yan also considers him a friend, so neither of us wants to see him go down a path of no return, it's not too late to turn back now.
Chu Qi left after receiving what we gave him and chatting for a few sentences, with only a necessary glance, I really did my best.
Looking at his back as he left, I held my chin in worry and muttered to myself: "What to do? Yuan Xue hasn't even crossed over yet, could it be that her old man has also been ferried across?"
"Ah!" Ming Yan couldn't help but laugh out loud, covering the smile at the corner of his mouth. The smile seemed to be saying that he had no choice. He stood up, gazing at the late afternoon glow that was already leaning westward, "Then let's settle things before Chu Qi makes her move."
I didn't understand what he meant by those words and looked at him with a puzzled expression, tilting my head.
Ming Yan smiled and gazed out the window at the gradually darkening sky, "Many things are not within our control, we've done our best and that's all we can ask for. Life and death are predetermined by fate, it's okay to mention it occasionally, but going against heaven is not good."
I think what he said is too profound and I don't quite understand it. Is he saying that Yuan Yue's fate has arrived?
He didn't explain, but pulled me up by the hand and said, "Let's go, we'll bring the real culprit to justice tonight."
"Righteous law? Today? Why did you tell me and the Yuan family that it's tomorrow?" Isn't this a contradiction? What if Yuan Lei really takes action tomorrow, wouldn't that be a waste of effort?
"Yes, that's right. We just need to bring the person down at the specified time and hand them over, someone will help us deal with that despicable man." He was smiling, but his smile was different from his usual elegant calmness, looking somewhat sinister and irritated.
He usually looks easy-going and doesn't want to make a big deal out of things. But once he's caught the thread and found the real culprit, at this moment he is the god of death, excitedly waiting for his target.
It's not that I don't want to report, it's just that the time hasn't come yet. Before, I only heard others say this sentence, but today I'm in the midst of it and I finally know what kind of tense atmosphere this moment is.
This is the first time I stand in front of a sinner as a ferryman, but Yao Hongyu can't see me and doesn't know that he's already very close to death.
At this moment, he is in his luxurious mansion, accompanied by a beauty, kissing and hugging.
Ming Yan took out his Qian Kun bag from his bosom, and as soon as he opened the mouth of the bag, a wisp of soul escaped. Due to the weakness of his yuan Shen, his body was also somewhat unstable, and he almost fell to the ground.
Ming Yan seemed to know this would happen, and he promptly supported her, smiling gently at her: "Be strong, it won't be long now, tonight is his deadline."
Yuan Xue leaned weakly against Ming Yan's chest, smiling blissfully, and nodded slightly. It wasn't until she realized I was also watching them that Yuan Xue noticed their ambiguous posture, struggling to get up but ultimately unable to do so.
She wanted to explain to me, I shook my head at her and gave her a understanding smile. Even if it was bitter in my heart, this moment couldn't be delayed by such a small matter for the big thing in front of us.
Under the guidance of Lingji, I became an invisible transparent body that others couldn't see. This is a special power of the Soul Ferryman, which I indirectly gained after understanding how to control the use of Lingji and was enlightened by Mingyan's hint.
The entanglement in the room is slowly showing signs of upgrading, such a blatant peep show makes me look away. After all, I'm still a big girl, how can I bear such a scene? I glared at Ming Yan with a hidden gaze and turned my face to look elsewhere.
At this moment, Ming Yan was not shy at all, but rather calm and collected as he gazed at the scene unfolding before his eyes. He seemed just like that day in the bathroom, with clear and pure eyes devoid of any impure thoughts or desires.
"Look not at what is contrary to propriety, listen not to what is contrary to propriety, speak not what is contrary to propriety. Rest assured, their progress will stop here, for the guest has arrived!" Ming Yan said calmly, turning his face towards the door.
I covered my face and looked towards the door, and as expected, there was a knock at the door. "Sir, Mr. Yuan has come to visit."
Yao Hongyu looked a bit disappointed, but still put on his clothes and also gestured to the beautiful woman beside him to dress carefully.
"Bring him here, I also want to have a good talk with him." When everything was back to normal, Yao Hongyu walked to the office desk, took out a pistol from the drawer and put it in his pocket. He gave a signal for the woman to leave, then sneered: "It's really better late than never."
"Father!" Yuan Xue exclaimed, possibly not expecting that at this time, Yuan Lei would come.
I'm also puzzled, I told them I'd take action tomorrow, how did he come to find Yao Hongyu today? Turning his head to look at Ming Yan, the corners of his mouth curled up with a smile that seemed to have expected this outcome. Could it be that the one who took Yao Hongyu's life was Yuan Lei?
Yuan Lei followed a steward in, the steward glanced at Yao Hongyu, and after receiving a hint, he retreated out of the room in an orderly manner.
Although there were only the two of them in the room, I felt like it was already a den of assassins. Yuan Lei actually charged in alone, didn't he worry about whether he could get out alive?
"Dad, how did he come alone?" Anyway, the father-daughter relationship is deep. Even if Yuan Wei is not a qualified father, after all, blood is thicker than water. When facing danger, there are few daughters who don't worry about their fathers.
She struggled to walk over, but was locked in by Ming Yan and couldn't move, staring at Ming Yan and asking: "Let me go, Brother Ming Yan! That's my dad, and Uncle Yao is going to kill my dad!"
"Listen up, Yuan Xue. I brought you here today to let you see your enemy die in front of you. Whatever happens next, neither I nor Xiao Yue have the right to intervene, because this is fate." Ming Yan looked at Yuan Xue with a cold and stern expression, releasing her while warning her not to act rashly, also glancing at me as a reminder not to interfere.
I gazed at the conversation over there, full of hidden murderous intent. The distress in my heart was beyond words. Is this the outcome I would face after finding the answer? As a soul ferryman who helps the deceased souls ascend to the afterlife, must I remain detached and watch with my own eyes as the murderer commits evil? If something really happened to Yuan Lei, what's the difference between me and the murderer?
My wrist is burning, is the guardian also protesting while protecting me?
Just as I was wavering with a guilty conscience, Yuan Wei and Yao Hongyu had already ignited the fuse between them, and their relationship had truly fallen apart.
Yuan Lei grabbed Yao Hongyu's collar, "You damn thing, from the moment you came to me, I knew you were someone they arranged to come over. It was just that because of our cooperation, I didn't bother with you, but that doesn't mean I couldn't see what you've been doing behind my back."
"You were already making underhanded moves from the beginning of the construction project, and I turned a blind eye to it. I thought that money could satisfy your ambition, but unexpectedly you became even more ruthless! Not only did you embezzle public funds, but also secretly colluded with our business partners to withdraw their shares, framing me as unrighteous! This time is even worse, using the name of someone in power to harm my family on the road while I was returning home for ancestral worship, killing my daughter! You deserve to die!!"
Yao Hongyu obviously didn't expect that Yuan Lei would know everything, even the initial construction of the building. "You, you knew all along?"
"What do you think? Do you think I'm like you, only caring about the benefits in front of me? If it weren't for this matter involving too many people, do you think I would have endured until now?"
Yuan Lei suddenly restrained Yao Hongyu's actions, catching him off guard as he reached for his gun and snatching it from his hand. He then pressed the muzzle against Yao's forehead in a swift and decisive motion, disarming him with ease.
Yao Hongyu was stunned, he didn't expect that his careful actions not only failed to deceive the person in front of him, but even the last resort to save his life was also taken away by this person.
"Director Yuan, spare me this once, and I'll owe you one. I was also momentarily blinded by greed and tried to deceive your wise eyes." He was so scared that he wet his pants and trembled with fear as he begged for mercy. The confident air he had just shown was all washed away.
Yuan Lei twisted his collar, coldly smiling, "I've endured humiliation and borne heavy burdens to prevent being suspected of disloyalty, not to mention the rumors. I even got my daughter involved, yet I haven't complained to anyone. But you, surnamed Yao, have crossed my bottom line! You repeatedly framed me as unrighteous, hurt that innocent little girl, and even tried to destroy my daughter's soul. How can I tolerate you?"
He lifted his foot and kicked him hard, Yao Hongyu was kicked to the ground, clutching his abdomen in pain, but ignoring the pain, he ran to Yuan Lei's front, kowtowing and begging for mercy.
Yuan Xue was already in agony, desperately begging Ming Yan to release her seal and let her go save people, shouting that she would not take revenge anymore, and disappearing into the world was also nothing.
I'm even more ashamed, because after hearing what Yuan Lei said, I realized that I had misunderstood him deeply. This guy is very loyal and righteous, he just pledged his loyalty to the wrong person and trusted the wrong people.
Yuan Lei coldly stared at the poor worm on the ground, shook his head in disappointment and said, "If you have the chance to be human again next life, remember to reflect on yourself, this life is over for you!"
A gunshot echoed through the air, splashing blood all over Yuan Lei's body. The person lying on the ground stared blankly with their eyes wide open, as a small river of red flowed out.
Yuan Lei suddenly knelt down on the ground, covering his chest with his hands, and a crimson liquid seeped out of the corner of his mouth. He smiled bitterly as tears of regret fell from his eyes.
And I was tightly held in Ming Yan's arms, struggling weakly as I watched everything happen before my eyes.
Yuan Xue broke free from her restraints the moment Yuan Lei was shot, and with her remaining spiritual power, she appeared in front of him, covering his wound with her hand, crying until she became a tearful person.
Everything has come to an end... So this is what Ming Yan meant by "heaven's will"...
