It wasn’t the first time Yuan Jin met Zhu Tang.
But the first time they met, she was filthy and bloodied, curled up in a corner, broken and desperately begging him for help.
“Could you please save my friend? He’s dying.”
She struggled to look up, only to see disgust in his scornful eyes.
“I’m sorry. The man holding the gun is my friend.”
She thought she would hate people like them forever.
When they met again in Beicheng, the man, cold and unruly, lowered his head and leaned against her as if he had no bones.
“Yuanyuan, will you leave me?”
“No,” she said, smiling.
Years later, she too began climbing toward the heights of power. When she saw that man again, her hatred still grew wild as a vine.
Yuan Jin’s expression turned cruel. “Zhu Tang, I want him dead.”
Zhu Tang nodded, spinning a Ruger P85 she had never seen before.
“I’m willing to be the blade in your hand, as long as you make the other men around you stay away. You know, Chen Yuanjin, even if you’re lying…”
“I only want you to say it to me.”
She only smiled, then took the Ruger.
“But if there’s only one bullet in this gun, I think… that might be a little terrifying. Sorry, A Tang. I don’t think I can do that.”
On the day the first snow of winter fell this year,
Jiang Duo’s twenty-ninth birthday arrived right on schedule.
He made a secret wish:
“I hope Chen Yuanjin forgets everything that happened before she turned twenty-six.”
