Before he returned, he had already told his subordinates to spread the news. However, he did not expect that there would be such a special “welcome ceremony” today.
They actually intended to silence him before she returned to the Gu family, naively thinking that they could alter the course Gu family’s history just like that.
Interesting!
Who does Luo Shengjie work for?
He could no longer remember. However, other than the elders, no one else had the guts to do this.
A ripped red windbreaker was thrown on the ground. In the chaotic battle, Vermillion Bird had been shot in the arm and suffered minor injuries.
Crisp footsteps approached her.
Time seemed to have stopped at this moment.
She looked up in surprise, only to see Gu Jinglian stopping in front of her with his eyebrows raised slightly.
“You deferred to Luo Shengjie previously.”
Vermillion Bird lowered her head and admitted bluntly, “Yes, I am a disciple of the Luosheng Hall.”
“However, why did you choose to side with me a few minutes ago? Why did you choose to betray Luosheng Hall?” Gu Jinglian asked again, seemingly confused.
Vermillion Bird looked up and suddenly smirked. “Because you are stronger than him.”
“Huh?”
Still calm, Gu Jinglian raised his eyebrows.
With a cold sneer, he said, “According to my usual practice, if any of my subordinates decide to betray me, I’ll eliminate them completely to prevent any future trouble.”
However, Gu Jinglian’s words took a sharp change as he gazed at her. “But I think you’re not that irritating.”
Vermillion Bird immediately professed her ‘loyalty’. “Young Master, let me follow you. I’m willing to be your loyal subordinate!”
Gu Jinglian was silent for a moment before he suddenly spun around and remarked, “You’ll be glad of your decision tomorrow.”
Vermillion Bird immediately stood up and gazed at his back. “Why?”
He said, “Because I will destroy everyone who is disloyal to me. I hope that you remain sufficiently loyal to me. Otherwise, even if you have saved me, I will still kill you.”
“Without any mercy.”
…
Otherwise, even if you have saved me, I will still kill you. Without any mercy.
Chu He’s eyes suddenly fluttered open and her pupils contracted violently. When the snow-white ceiling appeared in her sight, she abruptly sat up on the bed. Her movements were so violent that she accidentally ripped the IV needle off.
The needle, which was initially stabbed in her wrist, fell. Red blood splattered across the white bedsheet, leaving glaring stains there.
Chu He panted. She closed her eyes and soon realized that she just had a long nightmare. Now that she was suddenly jolted awake from the dream, she had such a splitting headache that her head felt like exploding anytime soon!
In her dream, those memories that had been sealed for five years surged into her mind. The scenes flashed before her like a broken television.
Gu Jinglian…
The Gu family…
Luosheng Hall…
Interpol…
Liu Yuanwei…
… Vermillion Bird!
Chu He clutched her head, which was so excruciatingly painful that it felt like it had been ruthlessly torn apart. Her eyes became bloodshot and filled with menace.
Vermillion Bird…?
Vermillion Bird!!
The name kept revolving in her mind until it morphed into vivid images.
Memories flooded her mind. Each scene was like computer files, constantly sending information to her brain.
…
Vermillion Bird used to be her code name.
She was an agent who later got recruited by the Interpol. She officially became an intelligence agent of Interpol’s anti-terrorism unit, codenamed Vermillion Bird.
Within three years, she got promoted due to her outstanding achievements. She was thereby officially appointed as the highest-ranking inspector in the anti-terrorism unit.
