I Am Extraordinary Alone-Chapter 102 - 101: Ruan Yu, Trust Me.
Chapter 102: Chapter 101: Ruan Yu, Trust Me.
Ruan Yu’s crazed appearance made Wei Tianyang feel nauseous and uncomfortable, so he stood there, unmoved, silently watching the once lofty woman plead with him.
"Although she was once my competitor, I must admit, she’s more suited for the adult service industry, you know, you really should try that," Moby Dick laughed.
Wei Tianyang felt somewhat annoyed and suddenly remembered Yaha, who had also been bound by the hands by Moby Dick in the room. If it weren’t for his own suspicious nature, going upstairs to search, wouldn’t Yaha have been toyed with by Moby Dick just like Ruan Yu...
"I have no interest in those things, Moby Dick. Is this what civilized people call barbarism?" he said.
"Conquerors are celebrated, losers vilified, Wei Tianyang! You killed relentlessly in Chicken Snake Country; you no longer deserve to call yourself a ’Saint.’ A year ago, this woman beat you by one step, which led you to this plight. Now, she lost to you by one step, and it’s your turn. Have your fun with her, trust me, ninety percent of people in this world will never come across a woman like her," Moby Dick said.
"My revenge... Moby Dick... my revenge is over," Wei Tianyang said in a low voice.
He looked at Ruan Yu, the once arrogant woman, the woman he had once regarded as a life-saving straw, who now, like a dog, was curled up in an iron cage, eagerly looking at him.
He felt no pleasure, and his anger had dissipated.
He did not feel any pity or sympathy for Ruan Yu; deep in his heart, there was only indescribable emptiness and doubt.
"Is it worth it, Ruan Yu?" Wei Tianyang asked.
This question was illogical, puzzling, and even Moby Dick couldn’t understand it. Ruan Yu looked at Wei Tianyang, her eyes suddenly brimming with tears, and then she began to sob loudly.
Wei Tianyang crouched down, his right hand resting on top of the cage, gently touching her hair. "My anger has long since dissipated... When I chose that path, it was my own decision. I knew the cost..."
"Ruan Yu, I can take you with me, I can set you free. After so long, our grievances should be erased."
"As long as you tell me where the last Heavenly Falling Object was taken, you can be free,"
Wei Tianyang said softly.
"I can’t tell you... if I do, you’ll leave me behind... I don’t want to be abused by this pervert any longer... he’s a lunatic... a wild beast wearing human skin," Ruan Yu sobbed.
"I see how much you’ve suffered this year, I’ve encountered too many suffering people... trust me, Ruan Yu. I’ve killed many people, made many wives widows, and many children fatherless. Moby Dick is right, I can be no ’good person’ in the eyes of animals without blood on my hands, but lie? No, I never lie, as it’s disrespectful to myself. If you tell me, I will set you free," Wei Tianyang said.
"He won’t let me go... he won’t tolerate you just taking me away," Ruan Yu said again.
Wei Tianyang looked back at Moby Dick.
Then, he said, "He can try."
"Alright... if you say so..." Ruan Yu said softly.
Wei Tianyang nodded.
"A few weeks ago, I sought the help of the conservatives, the radicals, and the New Liberation Front simultaneously... I wanted them to help transport it," Ruan Yu said.
Wei Tianyang then realized, no wonder it was nowhere to be found—this woman had cunningly duped all three parties into transporting the item.
Since the conservatives and the radicals are gone, the Heavenly Falling Object must now be with the New Liberation Front.
"Li Fei? She didn’t tell me," Moby Dick said, pinching his chin, furrowing his brows.
"I haven’t been out for so long... I don’t know where the New Liberation Front has placed it," Ruan Yu said.
"Your Tiantai headquarters people wouldn’t come to receive it?" Moby Dick kicked the cage.
"They’re definitely going to come, so that’s why I couldn’t tell you... I can only tell you the shipping route of the goods, which follows through the suburbs of Yiguang Province, heading south to the border... After that, people from Tiantai Pharmaceutical will be prepared to receive it outside the border," Ruan Yu said.
"It’s been several weeks, I’m going to ask Li Fei myself! How could she keep this from me?!" Moby Dick exclaimed angrily, immediately pulling out his cellphone to make a call.
Wei Tianyang stood up, letting out a soft sigh.
At that moment, Ruan Yu suddenly grabbed the cage and shouted loudly, "Wei Tianyang! Take me with you! You promised me!!"
He remained expressionless and said, "I promised to give you release, but I never promised to take you with me."
"You said you would not lie!! You promised me!!" Only then did Ruan Yu understand what Wei Tianyang meant, her questioning mingled with sobs.
"I no longer hate you, Ruan Yu, and I don’t pity you either. I just feel disgusted now... What wrong did those 1,201 Medicine People do? They trusted you so much, they just wanted enough remuneration to live till the next month. My personal grudge with you doesn’t matter anymore, if I don’t avenge them, am I still human?" Wei Tianyang said, gradually spreading his right palm open. The center of his palm split open, and from inside, the barrel of a black AK47 emerged.
Inside the cage, Ruan Yu twisted frantically, struggling to break free from her chains as a last effort to fight for her life.
"Too many innocent people have died in the incidents provoked by Tiantai Pharmaceutical; Tiantai won’t just have you as its only calamity, and I won’t be your last victim. You all must die, when all of you are dead, only then can the world become a better place," Wei Tianyang declared.
The iron cage clattered loudly against the floor, as Ruan Yu screamed madly, not wanting to die. In those brief seconds, flashes of her entire thirty-five years of life flickered before her eyes like a slideshow.
Born into a well-to-do family, she was adored by relatives and worshipped as a goddess by all the male students and male teachers during high school, eventually going abroad to earn degrees in medicine and business management.
At twenty-six, after completing her Master’s, she joined Tiantai Pharmaceutical, involved in the Heavenly Falling Objects project, and alongside Hans, became Dr. Zhen Nixiao’s right-hand aide.
At twenty-nine, after the ferocious plan led by her immediate supervisor, Dr. Zhen Nixiao, failed, she took over as the new head of the Heavenly Falling Objects project.
At thirty-three, she led the team to Chicken Snake Country and, with Hans’s help, took control of all the Heavenly Falling Objects in Chicken Snake Country, gradually initiating a new batch of superpower Black Medicine development projects.
At thirty-four... she had met the emaciated Wei Tianyang on the streets of Qiyang City...
She had never imagined she would die in a small foreign cage...
She was resentful, screaming maniacally.
She looked at the barrel emerging from Wei Tianyang’s palm, tears of fear and regret streaming down...
The gun fired.
The bullet pierced through Ruan Yu’s forehead, shattering her frontal lobe and left hemisphere, leaving a hole the size of a fingertip in her brow, yet blasting a large hole in the back of her skull.
Ruan Yu’s brain matter sprayed everywhere, staining the wire cage bright red. Her screaming finally ceased, but her eyes remained wide open. Because the cage was too small, her body continued to curl up even in death, her hands still clutching the cage, as if time had frozen.
Moby Dick was startled by the sudden gunshot, focusing his gaze, he saw Wei Tianyang withdraw his hand but saw no gun in his hand.
"This has been enlightening, Wei Tianyang. Is this part of your superpower, or..." Moby Dick said with a laugh.
Wei Tianyang ignored him, simply gazing silently at Ruan Yu.
Moby Dick walked around the cage, his shiny shoes stepping over the pool of blood.
"Such a pity, you really don’t know how to enjoy yourself, why not use this chance to become a man? Or is it... she’s not your type?" he joked.
"I’m not an animal, Moby Dick... or do you really consider yourself a white whale?" Wei Tianyang retorted sarcastically.
"I won’t hold it against you," Moby Dick replied.
"Happy New Year," Wei Tianyang said with a smile, before turning and walking away.
