She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 1724: Chapter 1801: Meng Ping’s Decision

A subtle glimmer flickered in An’an’s eyes. She was Bao’er, not that useless An’an. So, Xu Qigang was not her brother-in-law, and Sheng Ning was certainly not her sister.

The massive explosion startled not only An’an but also Meng Ping. In fact, Meng Ping was closer, having already heard the sounds during the gunfight.

Besides, he was originally following behind Shen Ming.

”Boss, this fight is even more intense than in the Southern Border.” All his men were transferred from the Southern Border’s original stone quarry. Over there, there were often skirmishes, but they were just minor scuffles.

Sometimes, they would even fire shots into the sky just to frighten people. Unexpectedly, in a place like the mainland, where guns are strictly controlled, such large-scale explosions could still be witnessed.

Exhilarating.

The vehicles couldn’t enter the Primordial Forest; they all had to walk. Meng Ping found it surprisingly easy after the training from the last trip to the Southern Border.

Initially, his target wasn’t actually Shen Ming.

To be honest, Shen Ming was just collateral damage, like catching a rabbit while beating the grass.

”Stop.” His voice was somewhat hoarse, even trembling a bit.

”Boss?” The people below looked at him in astonishment, not understanding what he intended to do. Whether it was to kill or to save, now was the best time to charge forward.

The Living Yama and Shen Ming were locked in an intense battle. If they went over, they could not only earn merit but also easily take out Shen Ming.

Wasn’t this precisely the boss’s goal?

Standing still, Meng Ping only felt his breathing growing heavier. In his ears, grenade explosions, the whistling of bullets, and some sharp cries filled the air.

All of this was unfamiliar, making him both excited and tormented.

Good and evil, black and white

Meng Ping’s heart was tormented by painful contradictions. Once that thought emerged, he could no longer control it; it grew like wild grass.

As long as Xu Qigang died, Sheng Ning would belong to him forever.

Driven by some mysterious force, he followed along. Pretending to avenge his big brother, he actually wanted to kill his big brother’s comrade. This was Meng Ping’s bottom line,

”Boss?” Someone urged again.

Meng Ping suddenly snapped awake, cold sweat covering his body, soaking through the clothes he wore underneath. After a long while, he suppressed his emotions, waved his hand, and gritted his teeth, saying, ”You all retreat!”

”Why?” Now everyone was anxious, ”Boss, weren’t we here for revenge?”

”Exactly, we need to take out Shen Ming, avenge the Young Chairman.”

”No need.” His purpose in bringing so many people wasn’t Shen Ming. Killing Shen Ming didn’t require taking such a big risk. ”Leave three people behind, everyone else, roll back to the Southern Border.”

”Going back now would be such a waste, wouldn’t it? The opportunity is rare, and the fight ahead is too thrilling.” Everyone was itching with anticipation; having heard so much about the legends of the Living Yama and the Young Chairman at the Southern Border, today was a rare chance to witness the combat skills of the Living Yama.

No one wanted to leave so casually. These men were accustomed to licking blood from the knife’s edge; none of them feared death.

”Heh...” Meng Ping sneered, ”Are you sure you want to go? The worst-case scenario is getting executed on the spot, even if you’re lucky enough not to die, you’d still end up in prison. Our country has the death penalty.”

These fools, do they really think the laws here are so lenient?

”There’s still time to leave, or else if you get dragged into this, don’t think any of you will get away.”
