Xia Ruya burst out laughing with a hysterical expression. “I’ve added oleander root extract to the chocolate that you just had—do you know what’s oleander? It’s an extremely poisonous plant that causes one to suffer from irregular heart rate and cardiogenic shock in mild cases and even death from epilepsy in serious cases. Right now, do your head and stomach hurt, feel dizzy, nauseous, having an irregular heartbeat, and feel numbness in your limbs?”
There were many kinds of floral teas in her house, and oleander was one of them.
Although oleander was poisonous, when used in small quantities in combination with other floral teas that neutralized its toxins, it could be an extremely effective mood stabilizer.
Wei Che’s pupils constricted. “No… it’s impossible—you’ve also drunk the chocolate just now…”
To be safe, he would only eat anything that Xia Ruya ate first.
Xia Ruya sneered and said, “I only took a little and the toxins won’t affect me too much. Moreover, since I know that it’s poisonous, I naturally know how to neutralize it.”
She looked at Mr. Z with mockery—how could men know what methods women secretly had? They were all arrogant jerks who thought they knew it all and that they could manipulate all the women in the world.
“Xia Ruya, you… do you know… what you’re doing right now?”
Wei Che bore with the pain of being poisoned and spoke weakly. At this point, the healing wound on his chest split open once again, and he could feel that fresh blood was flowing from it incessantly, darkening the color of his black shirt.
Xia Ruya pressed the nozzle of the gun firmly on his forehead and spoke with a bone-piercing and cold voice. “Are you threatening me?” Grabbing the gun, she gave him a tight slap, pointed the gun to his temple rapidly, and said angrily, “At this point, what gives you the right to threaten me? Let me tell you—you deserve everything that’s happening today.”
Initially, she didn’t intend to deal with him.
However, he had killed that illegal doctor in front of her, making a sense of danger conceive in her. In order to survive, she had no choice but to take the risk.
Wei Che’s cheek burned from the pain—he had never felt so humiliated in his life and anger brewed in him. “Xia Ruya, do you think that… by killing me, you can successfully… get away… you… you wish—Rex… oh, no, I should call him Ninth Si—he’s way more powerful than you’ve imagined… do you know Lucifer? The mysterious organization… that dominates the borders between Russia and China… he’s the head of the organization… with immense powers…”
Being dependent on her, he was at his wits’ end, but not submissive.
The Korean-Chinese Alliance was an organization feared by everyone in the world. As one of the main leaders of the organization, he had a distinguished identity that didn’t pale in comparison to Rex, the head of Lucifer.
At Rex’s gunpoint, he could narrowly escape.
Under Lucifer’s immense powers, he could escape time and again.
He could avoid the Chinese military which was searching for him.
However, he didn’t expect that he would one day fail in the hands of a woman—this was undoubtedly the greatest humiliation to him.
“Shut up. You’re just like a lost and seriously injured dog who almost lost its life under Ninth Si’s pursuit—why should I believe that you can successfully escape with me?”
A tinge of panic flashed past Xia Ruya’s face. As she listened to his words spoken in bits and pieces in his weak voice—those that described just how massive and frightening the organization, Lucifer, was, she couldn’t help but become extremely fearful.
Only then did she know just how unfathomable Ninth Si was.
No wonder Wen Xinya could defeat her time and again, making her end up in this state today—so, everything was because she had such a scary man like Ninth Si backing her up.
Jealousy, resentment, and hatred engulfed her uncontrollably.
“Although Lucifer is powerful, I also hold comparable powers in my hands. Once I successfully get out of China, even Ninth Si can’t do anything to me…”
Wei Che could tell that she was panicking and fearful. He played his trump card and exposed the Korean-Chinese Alliance to her.
Xia Ruya naturally knew that he held massive powers and hesitated for a moment, but her mind cleared up quickly. “You’re making it sound too good. In actual fact, you aren’t even sure if you can make it out. Also, not only have I poisoned you, I’ve even pointed a gun at you, wanting to take your life. Based on your unscrupulous character, you probably won’t be able to tolerate someone who once wanted to kill you.”
Wei Che was such a ruthless person and was totally untrustworthy.
Before today, the chance of Wei Che killing or keeping her alive was 50-50.
However, after today, Wei Che would definitely not let her off.
Xia Ruya’s greatest strength was that she was too selfish, always thinking thoroughly for herself and cautious. Also, after being through betrayal and abandonment, she already couldn’t trust anyone anymore.
It was wishful thinking on Wei Che’s part to try to make her waver in her thoughts of killing him.
Wei Che panted and said, “I can swear to God…”
Although Xia Ruya was intelligent and capable, this woman was too selfish and scheming—indeed, he had never intended to really keep her alive and had originally planned to kill her once she had outlived her usefulness.
However, he didn’t expect Xia Ruya to actually strike him.
At this point, due to the circumstances, he had no choice but to make a promise.
Xia Ruya’s snigger interrupted him. “Sorry, I don’t believe you at all. Compared to placing my life in your hands, I’m more used to controlling my own fate. So, rest in peace!”
Xia Ruya gently pulled the trigger…
Wei Che warned in a somber voice, “Xia Ruya, if you dare to kill me, the organization won’t let you off…”
As he watched Xia Ruya’s extremely slow movement, his pupils constricted incessantly.
This gun had been with him for more than twenty years since he was seven-years-old. Countless people died under this gun, including the head of Lucifer which dominated the borders of China and Russia, the one who controlled the massive wealth of the Xiasi Group—Ninth Master!
So, he knew more than anyone else just how deadly was this gun.
He had also never expected that he would one day be at the gunpoint of his own gun—this was an extremely huge joke to him as one of the leaders of the Korean-Chinese Alliance.
It was a humiliating way to die.
“Bang!” The gun with a silencer instantly left a blood clot on Wei Che’s forehead as warm fluid spurted all over Xia Ruya’s face.
In contrast to her exquisitely pretty face, the fresh blood made her look eerie, vicious, and ferocious.
Xia Ruya looked at Mr. Z’s body with his eyes still open. At this point, she wasn’t feeling as calm as she looked. This was the first time she had killed someone with her own hands and she felt a real sense of fear. However, she didn’t allow herself to avoid it as she stared intently at Wei Che’s corpse.
She merely wanted to survive.
Between the death of the other person and herself, she chose the former.
Every man for himself.
Now that she had already fallen to such a state, what harm would killing someone cause?
Only when women were more ruthless than men could they truly survive.
