Chapter 692: Chapter 692: Goodbye to the One She Loved Most

However, she was still a step too late.

"Bang!"

"Liu Zi!!!"

A heart-wrenching scream echoed from behind her.

Gu Minmin recognized it as the voice of her contact, Hong Fei.

Her body ran swiftly like a cheetah, and as she inadvertently glanced back, she saw Hong Fei embracing a comrade in camouflage who had been shot.

Ultimately, she was a step too late.

Sorrow flickered in Gu Minmin’s eyes, along with the helplessness and self-reproach she had once buried deep in her heart, all surging forth.

She was an external member, selected for this undercover mission due to special reasons. Amidst the camaraderie with her fellow undercover agents, she too carried within her veins the spirit of self-sacrifice and resilient devotion.

For more than half a year, she had witnessed too many compatriots obliterated by Mr. Peng, each bearing the responsibility for the people.

Even though they were not from the same department, they carried the same mission on their shoulders.

Once, for the greater good, she dared not act recklessly.

But now it’s different; Mr. Peng is dead, and his collaborators have all been uprooted.

She can now protect them openly and with dignity, no longer waking in the middle of the night due to self-reproach.

It seemed as if a voice was calling her name, neither Sang Dan nor Gu Minmin, but Red Eagle.

The Red Eagle is a small raptor of the falcon family.

It excels at hovering mid-air, watching and seizing the moment to capture prey, inherently ferocious and cunning.

Gu Minmin pressed forward bravely, abandoning thoughts of life and death.

As she neared the high platform, she hurled the weapon in her hand with all her strength.

"Bang! Boom boom—"

The platform exploded, collapsing with a loud crash.

People around quickly retreated, moving away from the violent wave.

The survivors under Mr. Peng screamed, hoping to escape the suppression in the chaos, but it was a pipe dream.

Each suppressor stood their ground unyieldingly, firmly controlling them.

Hong Fei and others could only watch as Red Eagle was buried under the rubble, sacrificing alive before their eyes.

While clearing the battlefield, they discovered that there was not just one person hidden on the platform, but an eight-member team.

They were concealed in different positions.

If it weren’t for Red Eagle’s sacrifice, they dared not imagine how great their losses would have been in a direct battle, with one side in the light and the other in the dark.

...

Gu Minmin’s Confession:

Surrounded by the collapsed high platform, she recalled these brief nineteen years, filled with laughter, pain, and happiness.

The sincere love and care from her family, along with the trials she had faced.

However, the most profound memories were her experiences in Wanhai City.

There, she met the person who amazed her for a lifetime.

The man she buried deep in her heart, whom she dared not recall or long for, Qiu Qianghai.

He was her eternal regret, the highest place she never reached in life.

You were not born when I was born; when I was born, you were already old.

She understood that their biggest problem was age.

They were fifteen years apart.

Her youthful affection, so tender and innocent, failed to convince anyone.

In this life, they were destined not to fall in love.

She hoped that in the next life, they would come riding bamboo horses and frolic with green plums around the bed.

By then, age will no longer be a concern between them.

To fall in love at the most beautiful, the youngest age, she would never forget, nor could she ever let go.

This love was destined to hurt her.

Yet she did not regret it, only a sense of regret remained now.
