Chapter 382

That night, Song Xiaotian drove me to the entrance of a residential complex.

He wanted to come inside with me, but I refused.

Only Du Yunting lived in his home.

I was afraid Song Xiaotian would lose his temper again, and I had no way to stop him when he did.

“You really dare meet him alone?” Song Xiaotian asked uneasily before I got out.

I told him it would be fine. Without Du Yunting, neither Anning nor I knew where we would be now.

“What do you mean? You’re grateful to him?”

Song Xiaotian glared at me. “Comrade, don’t waver in your position and confuse enemies with friends. That kind of thinking is dangerous. Don’t forget that he killed Fang Man! Sooner or later, I’ll kill him!”

I was speechless. “Grateful, my ass. If I ever get the chance, I’ll make him pay for Fang Man with everything he has. But that said… he isn’t the most dangerous person right now.”

“Besides, he still has my blade.”

I got out and walked straight toward the complex entrance.

This time, I did not tease the security guard. I simply asked him to call Du Yunting and let me inside.

The guard paused and asked my name. I told him I was Chen Mo.

“Mr. Chen? You can go right in. Boss Du already informed us.”

Afraid I might get lost, the guard personally led me inside and treated me with great courtesy.

At Du Yunting’s home, I rang the doorbell, and a bodyguard opened the door.

It was the same man who had rescued Anning and me and given us the motorcycle key.

He smiled. “Welcome, Mr. Chen. President Du is waiting inside.”

I had visited this villa before.

The last time, Seventh Master, Meng Yifan, and I had secretly broken in.

As I entered again, the decor seemed completely unchanged.

The wedding photograph of Du Ruhai and Du Yuwei still hung on the wall…

Du Yunting sat there, watching me with a smile.

My broadsword rested on the coffee table. To my confusion, Du Yunting had even commissioned a wooden case for it.

The craftsmanship was exquisite, and the case looked expensive.

What I could not tolerate was the bow tied around it!

I sat opposite him and glared. “What the hell is wrong with you? Are you proposing to me or confessing your love? Have you used Seven Deaths for Life Exchange so many times that you’ve become psychologically twisted?”

He remained perfectly calm. “Your birthday is approaching. I remember the date. You and Li Fuguang share the same birthday.”

“I hired a master woodworker to carve this case for you. Do you like it?”

I pointed at him, too furious to speak.

“Don’t think saving me this time means I’ll forget everything you’ve done.”

“Du Yuwei’s death, Fang Man’s death, and every other sin you’ve committed. I remember every single one.”

“Don’t play games with me. We follow different paths and will never work together!”

Du Yunting sat upright and spoke seriously. “One more friend is better than one more enemy.”

I slammed a palm on the coffee table. “I dream of hacking you to death.”

He shook his head. “When will vengeance ever end? Let it go, and life will be easier for both of us.”
I had no interest in wasting more words on him. I walked over to retrieve my blade.

He suddenly stood and produced another small box.

When he opened it, a sparkling diamond ring lay inside.

My entire body jolted, and rage erupted inside me. “What is that supposed to mean? What do you think you’re doing? Is this how you humiliate someone? You pervert!”

He hurriedly explained, “It’s for Anning. Why are you so agitated? I want you to give it to her. I selected it personally.”

“And tell her that there will always be a place reserved for her in my heart.”

I drew a breath, too exasperated to speak. “Do you have a brain? You think she’ll like you because you changed bodies and faces?”

“You killed her sister in front of her. Even if you used Soul Seizure on Yanzu or Guanxi, she still wouldn’t like you!”

“Use your brain!”

I picked up the wooden case, removed the blade, and tossed the case aside.

“It’s ugly as hell. Keep it!”

Then I turned to leave.

“Chen Mo!”

He suddenly called after me.

“Qingyuan won’t let you go easily.”

“There is more to your Two Souls in One Life than you realize. It isn’t a coincidence. They have already marked you.”

“As long as he lives, neither of us will have peace.”

I stopped but did not turn around. “You saved me because you wanted to use me to restrain Qingyuan. If you’re so capable, kill him yourself. I don’t have your abilities.”

With that, I left the villa.

Back in the car, Song Xiaotian asked what Du Yunting had said.

Naturally, I repeated everything truthfully.

“What exactly is he trying to do?” Song Xiaotian looked baffled. “Why does he suddenly seem like a different person?”

I said, “Human nature is unpredictable. Who knows what he’s thinking? But he has certainly learned to keep a low profile. That will make him more dangerous than before, though for now, he isn’t the greatest threat.”

“We live and work in Lanjiang City. The Organization wants to use Du Yunting to establish itself here. If it succeeds, our situation may become even worse than when we faced him alone.”

Song Xiaotian pulled over, lit a cigarette, and sighed. “The Organization is enormous. None of its members are ordinary criminals. We can’t possibly fight it.”

“Seventh Master has battled it for most of his life and still couldn’t destroy it.”

“From my experience as a police officer, an organization like this is a hundred times more terrifying than ordinary criminals.”

I shook my head. “We don’t need to shake The Organization as a whole. It has a person in charge in every city. We only need to eliminate the one in Lanjiang City. As long as we don’t travel to other provinces, it won’t be able to touch us.”

“And it isn’t fearless. It is deeply wary of modern law. That’s why it tries to infiltrate every possible opening.”

Song Xiaotian stared at me. “What are you planning…?”

“A counterattack.”

I spoke solemnly. “I’m going to find a way to make every member of The Organization in this city disappear, especially Qingyuan.”
