She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 849: Chapter 890: Revenge

Chen Yingjie raised his hands and swore, ”Really, Captain instructed that I can’t smoke, I wouldn’t dare to smoke even if you beat me to death.”

Chen Huaying scrutinized him suspiciously, noticing he looked genuinely sincere with a hint of impatience, no different than usual. Plus, whatever Captain said, his brother always treated it like an imperial edict, so there was indeed some credibility.

”Hmph! I’ll believe you for now, but if you dare to smoke, I’ll go home and tell Grandpa.”

”How could I! I’m already living on half a life, I wouldn’t dare smoke even if you beat me to death.” Chen Yingjie secretly breathed a sigh of relief, watched his sister leave, and sneakily stashed more cigarettes under his pillow.

Not only did he smoke, but he had even asked a friend for a pack to indulge when the nurses weren’t around. Yingzi, this little girl, trying to play tricks on him, would need a few more decades to pull it off.

Chen Yingjie thought happily to himself, unaware that his Captain had already collapsed on the other side.

Sheng Ning went straight to the Dean’s office to report today’s events, leaving Guo Tailin with a bitter smile. The head nurse had just come to complain earlier, and now Sheng Ning came in person, it was clear someone was truly outraged.

This group was indeed going too far, how could they encourage patients to smoke? A group coming over, it was almost like a robbery, making people retreat in three paces.

This Rescue Association was already the most ruthless in the district, and now Shen Feihu was in the limelight, with no one in the whole district to match him.

”Comrade Sheng Ning, rest assured, I will immediately remove the Rescue Association from the visiting list.” Guo Tailin stated.

”Thank you, Dean, sorry for the trouble.” After thanking, Sheng Ning went to find Chen Huaying. This girl was packing her things! She handed over two hoodies, ”For you, the little fat man did a reliable job and delivered them promptly.”

”Two? For me?” Chen Huaying was overjoyed, ”Sheng Ning, you’re too generous, I don’t even know how to thank you.” She quickly took the clothes with delight, happily saying, ”When I wear this to school tomorrow, I’ll definitely be the center of attention.”

”Your school doesn’t allow wearing your own clothes, right?”

”...You didn’t have to say it.”

”Hahaha...” Sheng Ning laughed heartlessly.

Spring brought warming temperatures, the snow on the glaciers gradually melting and causing the Black River’s water levels to rise. At this moment, two men and a woman, dressed in black, stood before a large stone, gazing across the Black River.

”Captain, our captain’s men were discovered here.” The tall and sturdy man among the three said with a pained expression. His name was Wu Long.

The one he referred to as Captain was the only woman. Also Scarface’s former lover, tall and statuesque, with prominent curves, distinct features, and deep contours. Especially a pair of coffee-colored eyes that inadvertently showed immense allure, mixed with disdain and mockery, capable of mesmerizing men like Scarface.

A delicate woman can spark a man’s protective instincts, while a proud woman can spark a man’s desire to conquer.

After Scarface’s death, the struggle for his subordinates and power, no one expected the woman they all once looked down upon to emerge triumphantly and take Scarface’s position.

Navigating among so many men, she ascended and swiftly subdued a group capable of murder without repercussions, proving her exceptional means. Her name was Li Xia.

Li Xia listened to Wu Long’s words, a hint of mockery flashed in her eyes. ”Died too lamely.” Back when she was a teenager, she followed him, idolized and loved him as her deity, only for him to die so pathetically.

”I will avenge him.”

Another skinny, small man, hunched over, with a vicious gleam in his eyes. His name was Ruan, the oldest of the three, and had followed Scarface the longest.

Pointing to the rushing waters of the Black River, he said, ”Captain, our captain’s enemy is across the river, but he isn’t easy prey. If you really want revenge, you better weigh it carefully.” Saying this, he seemed to recall something terrifying, shivered involuntarily, and said in a frightened voice, ”That’s the Living Yama.”

Anyway, he was beaten by the Living Yama; this man is ruthless. If you can avoid contact, do so.

”Then perfect, old scores and new itches can be settled together.” Li Xia said nonchalantly.

Ruan hesitated for about a second, ”Captain, how to seek revenge?”

”Get over there first, then talk.” Li Xia had actually been planning this since she received the news of Scarface’s death. She knew her confidants did not support her seeking revenge.

She and Scarface didn’t have a deep relationship. Originally, she was just a regular rural girl. Scarface took a fancy to her inadvertently and forcibly took her, even killing her childhood fiancé.

After being taken, it didn’t take long for Scarface to tire of her and carelessly handed her off to his subordinates. She had been discarded so many times she lost count.

Starting at age fifteen, it took her ten years to learn to empower herself, turning the tables to toy with men at her whims.

”Captain, the risk is too high. How about we go?”

”No! I will go personally. I want to bring back the Living Yama’s head. Only then can I completely conquer all the remaining forces and hearts.” As Li Xia’s coffee-colored eyes swept over the two men, they instinctively stood up straight, their hair standing on end all over.

”Let’s go!” Li Xia led the way back.

Ruan and Wu Long followed behind, about ten meters back. Wu Long whispered, ”Do you really think Captain wants revenge?”

”I’m not that stupid.” Ruan said sinisterly, ”She swore in front of all the brothers to kill the Living Yama to secure her position.” He finished with a look of longing and madness, mumbling, ”Living Yama’s life is worth a hell of a lot.”

”Are you scared witless?”

Ruan glared at Wu Long, derisively said, ”Underestimating the enemy is the beginning of death. I don’t want to follow in the old captain’s footsteps.”

”Hmph! Coward.” Wu Long threw down his words and quickly caught up with Li Xia’s pace.
