    Chapter 298 Your Final Fate

    Yun Mu's smile sent Yun Shuiyao into a state of utter panic.

    "You... Could it be that you intend to... No, you can't!" Yun Shuiyao shook her head frantically.

    Yun Mu looked down at her, a seductive smile playing on her lips, her eyes cold and venomous.

    "It seems you've guessed where I'm sending you. Yun Xiaosha spent five dark, hellish years there. Now, it's your turn. Rest assured, you'll be absolutely safe there."

    "This is how your problems will be solved, Yun Shuiyao!"

    Yun Shuiyao screamed in desperation, "No, I don't want to go there! I have secrets you don't know about. If you let me go, I'll..."

    "Silence!"

    With a single glance from Yun Mu, the people beside her bound Yun Shuiyao's mouth with duct tape and tied her hands and feet.

    Yun Shuiyao struggled desperately, but the more she writhed, the tighter the ropes became, eventually drawing blood from her limbs.

    This was Yun Mu's special method of binding prisoners in the Southern Mystic Continent.

    Yun Mu elegantly squatted down, lifting Yun Shuiyao's haggard and innocent face with her fingertips.

    "Look at me," she commanded coldly.

    Yun Shuiyao trembled all over, staring at Yun Mu with fear in her eyes.

    Their eyes met, and Yun Mu's beautiful gaze turned icy and deep.

    "I wanted to try a new life, to stop solving problems with bloodshed, so I spared your life time and again. But now I realize I was wrong!"

    In an instant, a gleaming dagger appeared.

    She struck swiftly, blood splattering everywhere.

    Before Yun Shuiyao could even cry out, the tendons in both her arms and legs were severed, leaving them limp and useless.

    Yun Mu's red lips parted as she whispered cruelly in her ear, "But I don't want to dirty my hands with your worthless life. It would be too easy for you to die like this."

    "I've decided that Kangmei Asylum is the perfect place for you. For the rest of your life, every day will be filled with darkness and torment, unable to live or die, day after day, minute by minute, until every cell in your body is consumed by the virus!"

    "When you die, Yun Xiaosha and the eighteen members of END will come back to kill you again!"

    "How does that sound as your fate?"

    Yun Shuiyao was already in such agony that she seemed soulless.

    As Yun Mu finished speaking, Yun Shuiyao shook her head wildly, her eyes filled with resentment and defiance.

    She would rather die quickly than suffer in Kangmei Asylum!

    She couldn't bear it; she hadn't yet trampled this wretched woman underfoot.

    She couldn't bear it!

    Yun Mu stood up, and Ji Ming approached, carefully wiping the blood from her face and hands with a handkerchief.

    "Why dirty your hands? Let me do it."

    Yun Mu glanced at the pale moonlight in the sky.

    "No, I must stain my hands with her blood to feel satisfied!"

    Ji Ming looked at her and gestured to his subordinates.

    The subordinate immediately closed the car door and drove off into the night.

    From that moment on, Yun Shuiyao ceased to exist in this world.

    ...

    At eleven o'clock at night.

    Huo Tingying returned to the bedroom without turning on the lights. Ever since Yun Mu left, he disliked having the lights on, fearing the sight of the empty room might drive him to seek her out uncontrollably.

    He casually took off his coat and stood on the balcony, tall and lanky, letting the cool evening breeze lift the corners of his black shirt. He pulled a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and took a heavy drag, only to start coughing violently as if trying to expel his insides.

    Even smoking was too much for him now?

    Amidst the swirling smoke, Huo Tingying gave a bitter laugh.

    At that moment, a mocking voice came from behind him.

    "President Huo is quite busy, returning home late at night reeking of alcohol. Does A'Ling know about this?"

    Huo Tingying's heart jolted, and he turned around quickly.

    On the sofa, Yun Mu sat with her arms crossed and one leg resting on the other, clearly having waited for a long time.

    Why had she come back?

    But before he could feel any joy, seeing her cold gaze, Huo Tingying's emotions instantly cooled.

    He looked down at her face, then said indifferently, "Why are you here?"

    "Rest assured, I didn't come back to reminisce about old times."

    Yun Mu stepped forward, pausing slightly when she saw his gaunt, sunken cheeks. How had he become so thin in just a few days?

    But then she thought, worrying and working hard for A'Ling must have made him lose weight.

    She then spread out the jade pendant in her palm and said coldly, "Why is my jade pendant here with you? Explain yourself."

    Huo Tingying maintained his pose with one hand in his pocket, looking at the jade pendant she offered, his eyes filled with complexity.

    Even now, after seeing this jade pendant, she still hadn't remembered their first encounter on the train.

    A smile appeared in his eyes, which quickly turned into louder, more mocking laughter. Just as Yun Mu thought he had gone mad, he calmed down and said, "It's just a jade pendant. What explanation do you want?"

    "Just a jade pendant?" Yun Mu sounded as if she had heard the biggest joke, "Do you know what this jade pendant represents? It signifies the head of my Yun family and the ruler of END organization!"

    Huo Tingying was taken aback.

    So the token Yun Mu had been talking about that could command the END organization was this jade pendant?

    He truly didn't know.

    Before he could explain, Yun Mu continued, "The assassin sent by END organization once revealed to me that the person who ordered my assassination is in the capital. He has the password and token of the ruler of END organization..."

    Upon hearing this, Huo Tingying's stiff expression suddenly changed, his eyes turning bloodshot. He fiercely said to Fu Ran, "What do you mean? You suspect I want to kill you!"

    "Otherwise?" Yun Mu pressed, "Why is my jade pendant in your possession? Why was my identity leaked to the Southern Mystic Continent?"

    Without hesitation, he retorted, "Are you brainless? If I wanted to kill you, why did I save you back then?"

    "Then give me an explanation!" Yun Mu shouted back, "I don't believe it's you either. I don't believe you don't love me and instead love a half-dead woman lying in a vessel!"

    Huo Tingying's eyes darkened, and he suddenly calmed down.

    Yun Mu stepped forward, grabbing his shirt, and demanded, "Why are you suddenly treating me like this? I don't believe you have no feelings for me! Explain, how can I believe you without an explanation?!"

    The cigarette in Huo Tingying's fingers had burned down, scorching his fingertips, but he didn't notice.

    He suddenly gripped Yun Mu's shoulders and pushed her away, his voice hoarse.

    "The jade pendant was indeed hidden by me intentionally. The truth is exactly as you see it."
