Rong Heng saw her regain consciousness, and suddenly felt reluctant to let go of his arm.
He suppressed the turmoil in his eyes and shook his head.
Gu Lan reached out a hand still dripping with fresh blood, lost in thought.
Just moments ago, when she saw Rong Heng get hurt saving her, she lost her mind, only wanting to kill everyone who had harmed her.
Gu Lan suffered from this flaw ever since she was an assassin.
Once, her targets were four human traffickers at the border, along with the "cargo" in their truck.
She chased them for three days until the pickup they were driving ran out of fuel and broke down on the edge of the desert.
Those scoundrels knew how terrifying Gu Lan was; she was a perfect assassin who had never failed a mission in that organization.
They also knew that anyone who became her target was doomed to die.
So, those people, knowing they were doomed, detonated a long-hidden bomb on the truck before Gu Lan could react.
