She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 979: Chapter 1035: Fooled You

The east of the city is an area with ancient alleyways, preserving a large number of four-courtyard houses. It takes only half an hour to get directly through to Shen Yu’s four-courtyard house.

A dim light flickered on in one of the dilapidated four-courtyard houses, then went out again.

From last night until tonight, three consecutive waves of sieges had cost Li Xia heavily. She thought that escaping from the hostel meant she was safe. Unexpectedly, the Living Yama had already prepared in advance. When the first wave didn’t catch up, the second wave blocked an area with a radius of a hundred miles.

When she led her people away, thinking they had reached a safe place, they encountered another ambush.

Living Yama is indeed the Living Yama. If it were someone else, they’d probably capture them alive or at least shout some warnings. But these people said nothing, attacking directly and aggressively.

During the breakout from the second wave, she lost two subordinates.

If it weren’t for Ruan’s experience, the losses would have been far greater.

“This is the third wave; once we’re out, we’re safe,” Ruan said, sitting on the ground in exhaustion, with his shoulder shot through and covered in blood.

Li Xia was still in good condition, arms crossed, looking towards the direction of Shen Yu’s four-courtyard house.

“I want to go there.” Scarface had lived there the longest and must have secretly left something. This operation was too rocky, discovered as soon as they entered.

My face got recognized right in front of Young Chairman.

“No way!” Ruan instantly vetoed, “We can’t go there again. Our losses are severe; we can’t take any more risks. Leading them just now was Shangguan Tao, the administrative director of Living Yama, very cunning; he might already be there waiting for us to walk into the trap.”

Li Xia shook her head, “We must go. Captain definitely left something.”

The moment she said that, everyone fell silent.

The items left by the old Captain must be retrieved, even if it costs us our lives.

“No rush, let’s retreat for now and wait until things calm down to figure it out.”

“Alright!” Li Xia nodded, “That’s all we can do now.”

“Captain!” Yoda suddenly said, “Meng Ping, who saw you at the police station, must be killed, or he’ll pose a huge risk to you.”

“No way!” Li Xia immediately refused without even thinking.

“Why not?”

Ruan asked puzzled, “What exactly is going on?”

“It was when the Captain went to the police station to bail me out and ran into the Young Chairman’s younger brother. I suspect he recognized the Captain,” Yoda, who used to follow Scarface, recognized the important figures due to a long stay.

“Then we must kill him.” Ruan’s expression turned vicious instantly, “I’ll take on this task.”

“No need!” Li Xia raised her hand to stop him, “Let’s retreat first at times like this!”

“But…”

“No buts, I’m the Captain.”

“Yes.” The others could only lower their heads reluctantly.

Li Xia glanced toward Shen Yu’s four-courtyard direction, turned, and led the way in departure. She had a natural sense of danger, which was what kept her alive until now.

The Young Chairman is already dead. She didn’t want his younger brother to die at their hands as well.

As the sky in the distance faintly lit up, Xu Qigang gently embraced the woman in his arms, staring lovingly at her sleeping face, feeling he couldn’t get enough.

He lifted his hand to softly caress the faint blue beneath her eyes, feeling a bit heartbroken.

He planted a gentle kiss on her eyes, then got up, dressed, and covered her well with the quilt.

From outside the Family Compound came the sound of orderly footsteps. Xu Qigang closed the door and left.

Reaching the small playground, Shangguan Tao and Li Duoxi had already arrived with their men.
