Chapter 1006: Judgment Day
The sudden news made Wen Xinya feel distraught.
If Xia Ruya continued being within her control, Wen Xinya would have a way to lead her onto a path of self-destruction. However, it would be difficult once Xia Ruya struggled out of her clutches.
She understood Xia Ruya too well. Xia Ruya was scheming and intelligent and was just like a weed that would never be destroyed by fire. She would make a comeback easily and grasp every tiny glimmer of hope and turn into motivation for revenge.
Feeling disgruntled and indignant, Wen Xinya whipped out her mobile phone in a bid to call Si Yiyan to air her woes.
However, she hesitated for a while when she stared at his mobile number displayed on her screen. Si Yiyan is still busy handling his own matters in Russia. How can I call and disturb him?
Her rationality was disrupted.
She held her mobile phone in hand, surprised to discover how much she missed him.
She could not help but find herself to be rather amusing, for it had been less than 24 hours since she returned home and yet, she was already feeling uneasy about not hearing his voice.
Just as she was thinking about it, her mobile phone began to ring.
Wen Xinya looked down to see that it was surprisingly a call from Si Yiyan. Her eyes lit up with joy and she was laden with excitement. Her cheeks turned rosy and she hurriedly picked up the call.
“Xinya!” Si Yiyan exclaimed, walking away from the bunch of gunmen standing behind him, clad in black uniforms. They were aiming their a.s.sault rifles at the ten-odd men lying in pools of blood on the ground. There were ropes around their necks, chests, and arms, restricting them from moving their limbs.
Wen Xinya expressed a.s.sent and asked tenderly, “Why did you call me?”
Could it be telepathy? We’re more than 7000 kilometers away from each other and yet, he could read my mind.
Wen Xinya believed that it must have been telepathy.
Reason being, Si Yiyan’s call was the very proof of that fact.
Si Yiyan answered in a low voice, “I wanted to hear your voice.”
Her tender voice made his heart melt as the menace of his expression began to fade and he looked much less daunting and murderous than before. No one would have found him to be threatening if he wasn’t holding “The Killer” in his hand.
Wen Xinya burst into laughter. He wanted to hear my voice? Why can’t he just admit that he misses me?
There was a time difference between Russia and China. It was only seven in the evening in China, but in Russia, it was already four in the morning. Due to the fact that there were more trees in Russia, the sun would usually have risen by four something in the morning and cast its golden rays down onto the earth in a warm and friendly manner.
She could imagine what Si Yiyan looked like, standing by the window and basking in the sunlight which made his slim and tall figure look gilded.
Si Yiyan asked softly, “Did you miss me?”
Si Yiyan looked up at the sun that was leaning towards the West while the sunlight covered him. In the eyes of Lucifer’s members, he was just like a G.o.d staring down at them. They were in complete awe of him.
He was their King, Rex!
Lucifer once said, “I am the brightest star of light. I am the light of the world. My followers should not be walking in the dark. They should be thriving in the light.”
He had been protecting them.
In the hearts of the Chinese in Russia, he was G.o.d, their religion and the light. They did not believe in any G.o.d except him.
Wen Xinya blushed uncontrollably and answered softly as if she were telling him a secret. “I wanted to call you just now, but I was afraid that you’d be busy. I didn’t want to disturb you.”
She expressed her intentions even though she did not answer him directly.
Si Yiyan answered in a gentle voice, “Plan A was very successful. The outcome isn’t confirmed yet and I’ll still have to stay in Russia for a while, but don’t worry about me.”
He turned around slowly and stared at his most loyal subordinate who was breaking the bones of the traitors with a hammer as they laid on the ground in pain, bawling loudly and begging for forgiveness and mercy. He once told Wen Xinya that every member of Lucifer would take an oath to prove their loyalty to Lucifer. The only fate that the traitors would suffer, was having their ribs broken before facing their execution!
Their ribs would then be removed from their bodies after their demise. Their names would be carved on their respective ribs before the ribs were placed in the meditation hall where the successors could reflect on their foremen’s mistakes.
Wen Xinya asked, “What about that Wei Che? Did you find out his ident.i.ty and whereabouts?”
She was extremely bothered by Wei Che whom she found to be strange and mysterious. She had a bad feeling about him and hoped that Plan A would expose Wei Che.
Si Yiyan answered, “Currently, we can deduce that Wei Che isn’t his real name and he had come prepared. Hence, he was able to escape scot-free. However, he probably didn’t think that Lucifer had long come up with a plan to get rid of the snitch. This time, he failed to execute his plan smoothly and he’s going to end up losing everything that he managed in Lucifer.”
The traitors who had just gotten their ribs broken rolled on the ground continuously. They could no longer feel the pain of the bullet fired from the silencer. The sun shone down onto the ground as it set into the horizon. It looked as if it were judgment day.
Despite finding it to be a little pity, Wen Xinya was still rather glad. “Si Yiyan, regardless of what happens in the future, you must remember that I’m waiting for you.”
Since she had made the vow to never leave him until death did them apart, she would wait for him forever.
Si Yiyan immediately grew silent.
He loosened his grip on “The Killer” too.
“Rex, watch out!”
He instinctively dodged the bullet which darted past him. He quickly pulled the trigger and released a bullet with a loud bang.
Wen Xinya held her breath as her heart pounded rapidly. Her face turned red and her body froze, unable to move at all. She shrieked. “Yan, Yan…”
“I’m alright, I defeated him!” Si Yiyan exclaimed sternly.
Wen Xinya staggered forwards and leaned against the hard, white wall that seemed to have become her s.h.i.+eld and her pillar of support. Her breath quickened and her heart palpitated, overwhelmed with fear.
Si Yiyan said softly, “I didn’t get injured. It was just his last struggle! Don’t worry!”
Wen Xinya sobbed while ending the call. She felt that she should not distract him. Actually, she knew that Si Yiyan would be alright, but she simply could not stop herself from worrying. Had she known earlier… she wouldn’t have come back alone. She would only feel safer by staying in Russia.
