She climbed over the wall effortlessly and entered the factory.

Under Gu Dongcheng’s guidance, she managed to avoid the surveillance cameras and arrived on the rooftop.

The abandoned factory was built out of bricks. However, due to wear and tear, there were several holes in the roof that had yet to be repaired.

It made it much easier for An Xiaoning to enter.

Gu Dongcheng checked if the coast was clear while she followed closely behind.

The room inside was a minimalistic constructed one. Gu Dongcheng took a look inside before informing her that there were two men sleeping inside.

She nodded and tiptoed in, after which she shot them to death immediately.

She then searched their bodies to retrieve two guns and two mobile phones.

She drew the duvet over their corpses, making it appear like they were really sleeping.

Just as she was about to exit, the lights were switched on and sounds of a man humming could be heard.

An Xiaoning hid behind the door and quickly fired a shot at the man when he was walking toward the bed. The bullet had accurately hit him in the back of his head, resulting in instant death.

An Xiaoning dragged him to the side and cleaned up the blood on the floor. Once again, she searched him for his gun and mobile phone.

She was not interested in their pistols at all and merely decided to take them away in order to save herself from unnecessary trouble.

An Xiaoning exited the room after replenis.h.i.+ng the ammo in her gun.

She then stealthily made her way inside another brightly-lit room, where a bunch of people was surrounding a bed. Gu Dongcheng’s corpse was lying on the bed.

They had dissected his corpse.

There was blood all over the bed. She pointed at the light inside and instructed the exasperated Gu Dongcheng to get it settled.

Gu Dongcheng immediately entered the room and made the flickering lights go off, causing the room to turn pitch dark.

“What’s going on? Go take a look,” Bei Qi instructed.

The man beside him exited the room with a torchlight and walked toward the main switch.

Just as he reached the door of the bedroom, An Xiaoning grabbed him by the neck and pulled him into the bedroom forcefully.

An Xiaoning did not kill him immediately and instead shot him in his legs before tying him to the bed and stuffing a cloth in his mouth.

Not wanting to waste any more time after tying him up, she climbed onto the rooftop and stood beside the room Bei Qi was in. She slammed her palm down gently, causing the roof to collapse, crus.h.i.+ng the bunch of people in the room, who all shrieked in pain.

Gu Dongcheng was stunned beyond words and asked, “How… how… did you have that much strength?”

She did not answer him and instead blew the whistle she had hung on her neck, after which all the bodyguards rushed inside.

An Xiaoning instructed, “Contact a forklift truck driver and get them to take the bricks away. Get all those people beneath out of here, regardless of whether they’re dead or alive. Both of you, there’s still a man who’s alive in the room next door. I had tied him to a bed. Bring him out, I’ll be waiting for you guys in the car.”

“Yes, Missy.”

It was a long and arduous night.

An Xiaoning was dog-tired and exhausted beyond words by the time she returned to the Gu family mansion, especially since most of her energy had already been depleted after traveling to the netherworld.

Yet, she still had to continue dealing with Gu Dongcheng.

Glaring at Gu Dongcheng, An Xiaoning chastised, “Don’t think I’ll show mercy on you just because you brought me to those people. You tried to harm Beicheng and Mingxi when I was in M Nation back then. Of course, you tried to kill me too but you didn’t succeed. We all knew it was you. You and Xu Youran are really two peas from the same pod. As the saying goes, birds of the same feather flock together. You tried to harm others, but you ended up harming yourself, didn’t you?”

“I’m sure you know clearly about Youran’s death. I’m already dead, can you just tell me who killed Youran?”

“I won’t tell you.”

“I can already guess who it is, more or less.”

“You may have made guesses, but you still don’t have any concrete proof, do you? Who are these people who have controlled you?”

“Let’s strike a deal, I’ll tell you who they are if you tell me whether or not Jin Qingyan was the one who killed Youran.”

“Tell me if you want to. If not, you may keep it to yourself.”

All of a sudden, two grim reapers, Heibai and Wuchang, appeared in the room.

Gu Dongcheng panicked at the sight of them.

“Lords, please let me have a few words with him.” She continued, “Gu Dongcheng, if you tell me who they are, perhaps you can be spared from being banished to the 18th level of h.e.l.l. I’ll put in some good words for you to the reapers. Do you know what h.e.l.l is like? You’ll be burned and skinned and made to feel like you’re being deep fried in oil. The punishments are severely torturous.”

Gu Dongcheng immediately understood that An Xiaoning was on speaking terms with the reapers. Needless to say, he did not want to be subjected to torment.

“The mastermind is Pei Yi, the chieftain of one of the DK Organization’s quarters. They were also the ones who hijacked your flight and abducted you guys on your way back from M Nation. I’ve cooperated with them before. I promised to give Pei Yi half of the shares of the Gu Corporation when I rise to power if he could manage to get rid of Gu Beicheng and Lin Mingxi. However, I only understood after tonight’s events that Pei Yi is coveting the entire Gu Corporation. His subordinates have controlled my consciousness and caused me to die in here. They’ll get the chance to intervene once the Gu Corporation is in chaos. They even made me sign an agreement and only allowed me to read the first page of the doc.u.ment. I reckon the rest of the terms must be some sordid and illegal ones. After all, the Gu Corporation is a multinational corporation that runs a legal business.”

“You’ve indeed got peanuts for brains. Both you and Xu Youran dug your own graves.” She then said to Heibai and Wuchang respectfully, “He totally deserves to be banished to the 18th level of h.e.l.l. Don’t let him get a chance to reincarnate. He doesn’t deserve it at all.”

Panic was written all over Gu Dongcheng’s face the moment he heard her words. “Didn’t you promise to put in a good word for me?”

“Do you think I’m out of my mind? I detest you to the core, so why would I do that?” An Xiaoning rebuked, rolling her eyes at him.

Heibai and Wuchang shackled Gu Dongcheng’s limbs in chains and brought him away forcefully.

On the way to the netherworld, he said to the reapers in exasperation, “I saw An Xiaoning commit a ma.s.sacre tonight. She’s a huge sinner too. Why don’t you take her life?”

Wuchang glowered at him and said, “It’s not up to you to decide when she’s supposed to die. You’re already dead anyway, why are you poking your nose into someone else’s business?”

“I just feel indignant. Heaven can’t be that unfair, can it?”

“You can’t change anything regardless of whether you find it fair or not. You won’t have time to say such things anymore once you report to Hades. You’ll be getting a hard time.”

Gu Dongcheng s.h.i.+vered in fear and anxiety. He wanted to cry but there were no tears. I would have lived life properly if I’d known earlier that I would land myself in this plight. I definitely wouldn’t try to s.n.a.t.c.h the company away and send myself onto this path to ruin , he thought to himself.

However, it was all too late now.

An Xiaoning fell asleep in the guest room of the Gu family mansion, completely exhausted.

She only woke up the next afternoon.

Instead of feeling fresh and rejuvenated, she woke up feeling weak and sluggish.

She drove to her home in Sanqiao Estate where she took a shower and changed into a fresh set of clothes, after which she felt instantly better.

“Xiaoning, how are things within the Gu family?” s.h.i.+ Qingzhou asked.
