Chapter 138: Then I Wish Me... a Smooth Marriage (Final Episode Part One)

"What’s happening? Wasn't Brother Li's camera turned off earlier? Why did it suddenly turn on?!"

"Damn! The one sending out the distress signal was actually a recorder?! And it's on a loop?! Who's so evil?! Deliberately luring the Vendetta Squad back?!"

"Look! It's Lu Siqi, I can recognize him even with the gas mask on! He must be the mastermind, right? What's the difference between this and premeditated murder?!"

"Oh my god! So Lu Yuanhang was taking the fall for Lu Siqi all along?! He’s the controlling shareholder behind all those small loan companies?! He’s the one laundering money abroad?! And those trainees bound by contracts?! These crimes are enough to get him the death penalty, right?!"

"He’s planning to flee tonight because everything has been exposed?"

"He came specifically to take Brother Li away? That’s funny. At this point, isn’t that just like someone in love?"

"He even brought bodyguards? Is he going to use force? Hang in there, Brother Li!"

"He's so evil, I’m so angry I want to jump in and kill him— Hey, here comes the Vendetta Squad!"

"They're here to save Brother Li! Sister Wu is so cool! I’m cheering you on!"

"And Brother Yuan Feng, Director Zhou, Section Chief Shi! I’m so moved, I could cry right now!"

"Hahahaha, Brother Xiao, you never change! Still thinking about an official announcement at a time like this!"

"That’s right, we’d rather die happily together!"

The sky suddenly poured rain, more fierce than a water gun, gradually dousing the towering flames.

By the time the firefighters reached the last room, the Vendetta Squad had just finished their final actions,

And everywhere on the ground were burly men writhing in pain, grimacing,

Even Lu Siqi had his gas mask removed, revealing his bruised and swollen face,

Still in disbelief, he shouted, "This isn't scientific! It’s not scientific at all! Even if you covered your mouths and noses, there’s no way you could have been completely isolated!"

"You should have passed out by now, how could you still have the strength to attack?!"

Jian Li slowly walked over and crouched in front of Lu Siqi, slapping his face with one hand, "Have you felt dizzy since the gas mask was removed so long ago?"

Lu Siqi was stunned, "So,"

"The toxic gas I released was removed long ago?"

"Was it you?! How did you know in advance?!"

Jian Li curved his lips and suddenly lowered his voice, asking in a tone only the two of them could hear, "Do you really think I'm still the same Jian Li?"

"With such significant changes, could I still be the same person?"

Lu Siqi's eyes widened, "Then, who are you?!"

Jian Li sneered, "I am... sent by heaven to bring you down!"

Before Lu Siqi could react, several uniformed police officers rushed in and restrained him,

"What are you doing?! I'm Lu Siqi, CEO of the Lu Group, you have no right to treat me this way!"

"I want my lawyer!"

"Jian Li, come back here,"

"You have to explain it clearly!"

"Who are you really!"

"Jian Li——"

The hysterical voice faded away until it disappeared at the end of the corridor.

By this time, Jian Li had already stood up and turned to walk towards Huo Xiao.

The two stood facing each other,

Drenched, whether from rain or sprinklers,

Yet they didn’t look disheveled at all; instead, they appeared graceful and dignified,

On their handsome, unparalleled faces, expressions that only they understood,

Jian Li slightly lifted his chin, as if he were carrying a machine gun, his demeanor noble and proud, "What were you about to announce just now?"

"Can you guess?" Huo Xiao curled his lips, his eyes filled with joy.

Jian Li adjusted the camera lens he had clipped to his waist and placed it back on his collar, angling it to capture Huo Xiao’s face, "Announce it now, I’m listening."

Huo Xiao pressed his lips together, his gaze dark and intense. His voice was slightly hoarse as he spoke slowly and deliberately,

"Jian Li, will you be with me?"

"I like you..."

Before he could finish, Jian Li grabbed Huo Xiao’s neck and kissed him, mumbling incoherently, "Hell yeah, I do!"

"Hell yeah, I like you too!"

"Finally, ahhhhh——I’m losing it——"

"To be honest, I’m already bawling my eyes out! Not only did my OTP come true, but they’ve also become my heroes!"

"No bad ending! It’s a happy ending! Vendetta Squad, you’re my heroes!"

"Keep kissing! Kiss like there’s no tomorrow! Nobody’s leaving tonight; we’re staying right here in this ruin... Oh my, this suddenly feels so romantic!"

Yuan Feng, who was cleaning up the mess, turned around and froze at the sight,

"Holy crap, this is actually happening?!"

Luo Wudi patted him on the forehead, "Don’t just watch, learn something!"

Yuan Feng, "Once I learn it, who will I do it with..."

The fire was finally extinguished, and the trainees and crew under Lu Siqi’s control were taken to the police station for questioning.

There was no host to announce the victory. The members of the Vendetta Squad sat quietly on the steps.

After the chaos, everything became unusually quiet.

The night sky was speckled with stars, emitting tiny rays of light that pierced the darkness.

Someone let out a laugh first.

The members of the Vendetta Squad immediately slumped into a heap.

Tears of laughter trickled from the corners of their eyes.

Yuan Feng, "Sister Hong, I just wanted to ask, how did you figure out my identity?"

Luo Wudi, "It couldn’t be easier, right? Who takes out their phone and always reaches for the back pocket? It's obvious you just graduated and don't have much experience, unlike those two old veterans!"

Shi Huayi, "Sister Hong, you're pretty obvious too, you know? So skilled in martial arts, and you love drinking. Every move you make is like that of a master. Clearly, you’re a special hire."

Zhou Nan agreed, "Exactly! Haha, looking back on these variety shows, it’s really hilarious! If someone described it from an omniscient perspective, it would be quite a spectacle!"

Suddenly, the four of them fell silent and turned to look at Jian Li and Huo Xiao,

"When did you two realize it?"

"Do you really have no secret identities?"

Huo Xiao raised his hand, "I do have some background. My family helps the state. Does that qualify as an identity?"

He then turned to Jian Li, "What about you? Did you come from another world?"

Jian Li curled his lips, "Yeah, something that fantastical. So, are you still willing to be my boyfriend?"

Luo Wudi smiled nonchalantly, "What’s there to fear about something fantastical? These days, who doesn't have some hidden identity?"

"It would be great if we had some alcohol. We could drink honestly, since tomorrow we’ll be going our separate ways..."

Her voice suddenly turned a bit sorrowful, then she turned to Jian Li, "One last question,"

"Have you been a mercenary? Most of the time, you’re incredibly professional!"

Jian Li pursed his lips, "In my past life,"

"Perhaps."

Luo Wudi nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly, Yuan Feng, who had run off at some point, shouted,

"There’s still some Daughter Red wine in the tavern’s cellar!"

"Do you want some?!"

Luo Wudi's eyes lit up, "Of course, we're drinking!"

"To celebrate the successful completion of the mission!"

Yuan Feng grinned, "And to my successful transition to full-time!"

Zhou Nan Shi Huayi, "And to our successful job reassignments!"

Huo Xiao, "Then here’s to my… successful marriage."

Jian Li, "Damn, you’re thinking pretty far ahead, huh?!"
