HADES, THE URBAN LEGEND - Chapter 689 - 692: Not Tired of Playing Yet

Chapter 689: Chapter 692: Not Tired of Playing Yet

Wu Yue’s eyes were filled with disbelief, unable to comprehend why the man she loved so deeply harbored such hatred for the person she respected the most.

“Why? Why are you like this?”

“This is none of your business,” Li Minghe rushed forward and pushed the obstructing Wu Yue aside.

Wu Yue stumbled a few steps but managed not to fall.

Li Minghe walked to the car, unlocked it, and was about to get in when he hesitated.

After a moment’s hesitation, Li Minghe turned around with a complicated expression and looked at the desolate woman standing behind him. In a deep voice, he asked, “I’ll give you a chance. Are you coming with me, or are you staying here to die with Lin Ruoxi?”

Wu Yue’s frail body trembled. She looked up, her eyes filled with tears but tinged with a hint of joy.

“You still care about me, don’t you?” Wu Yue asked with a tearful smile. Li Minghe sneered disdainfully, “We’ve slept together; I’m not tired of you yet. Come or stay, it’s up to you.”

Wu Yue looked at him sorrowfully but resolutely shook her head, wiping her tears. She said seriously, “I won’t go with you, Minghe. You should turn yourself in. It’s not too late as not everyone knows yet. You can’t defeat President Lin.”

“Nonsense!” Li Minghe roared, “Do you think she’ll be fine after being poisoned this time? You’ve underestimated me! Once the stock market in the Sam Nation opens, Yulei International’s assets will drop by at least thirty percent! The data has already been given to Yulei International’s competitors days ago. In one or two days at most, everything will be finalized. Yulei’s operations for the next six months will be completely suppressed! No matter how rich Lin Ruoxi is, she won’t be able to withstand such a vicious cycle! In a few months, bankruptcy will be the least of her worries. Do you really think she’s some business genius? Ha! Her previous opponents were just too weak! Stop dreaming!”

Wu Yue bit her lip firmly and said resolutely, “I believe President Lin will find a way. Minghe, don’t make more mistakes. I know you still care about me. You’re not that heartless.”

“Enough!” Li Minghe’s face twisted with rage. He took large strides towards Wu Yue, looking down at her with cold, murderous eyes. “Has Lin Ruoxi brainwashed you? Fine, since you believe in your boss so much, I’ll let you watch Yulei crumble before your eyes!”

Before Wu Yue could react, she felt a sharp pain at the back of her neck and blacked out completely.

Li Minghe had taken advantage of Wu Yue’s moment of distraction to knock her out.

Li Minghe caught the unconscious Wu Yue and, after glancing around to ensure no one was watching, placed her in the passenger seat, fastening her seatbelt so she appeared to be merely sleeping.

Regaining his calm demeanor, Li Minghe started the car and left the parking lot.

As he drove away, a petite white woman with pink-framed sunglasses emerged from behind a pillar—Fanny from the Sea Eagle squad.

Chewing gum, Fanny clicked her tongue, took out her phone, and dialed a number. “Adeline, the mouse has escaped. Your turn.”

“Why so soon? I’m still buying a sandwich. No bell peppers, please. Alright, alright, I’ll follow him. Inform Hades.”

A few seconds later, Yang Chen, driving towards Yulei International, received a text message.

Glancing at the message in Italian, Yang Chen smiled and said to Lin Ruoxi beside him, “Li Minghe is quite clever; he’s already on the run.”

Lin Ruoxi frowned, skeptical. “How do you know?”

“I had some friends monitor his movements. They just informed me he left.”

Lin Ruoxi didn’t question who the “friends” were. Instead, she urgently asked, “Why didn’t they stop him? Should we call the police?”

Yang Chen shrugged. “Li Minghe can’t fly. We’ll follow him. The key is to find the people behind him. I’m curious where he’ll go.”

A trace of worry flashed in Lin Ruoxi’s eyes. She asked nervously, “What will you do when you find them?”

Yang Chen replied indifferently, “Do what needs to be done.”

“I know you want to kill them, right?” Lin Ruoxi looked worried and anxious. “Yang Chen, promise me you won’t kill anyone. I know you must have killed a lot of people abroad, but killing is never a good thing. They can’t beat you anyway. Why not just hand them over to the police and send them to court?”

Yang Chen smiled easily, “Don’t worry about this. Think about how to save the company when you get back. Even if we catch Li Minghe and his associates, it won’t cover the company’s losses, and the future prospects can’t be solved with money alone.”

Lin Ruoxi shook her head, solemnly saying, “Business is business, and you are you. You must promise me that you won’t kill anyone. You can disable them, knock them out, but you must bring them to justice through legal means. You must promise me!”

“I have my own plans.”

“No! If you don’t promise me, I’ll stick to you like glue! I won’t go to the company! Unless you knock me out!” Lin Ruoxi bit her lip, staring at Yang Chen with determination.

Yang Chen took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with coldness. In a deep voice, he said, “That guy made you drink slow-acting poison for so long and got Mingyu sent to jail. How can I let him live? Besides, it’s not the first time you’ve seen me kill. It’s no big deal; I’ll be fine.”

“But you can’t just kill people!” Lin Ruoxi shouted, her voice breaking.

Yang Chen’s ears hurt slightly from her shout. He looked at her in surprise, not understanding why she was so agitated.

With a hint of tears in her eyes, Lin Ruoxi said softly, “It’s because it’s not the first time I’ve seen you kill that I hope you’ll never do it again. Do you know, your eyes scare me every time you kill someone in anger.”

The car fell into silence. Yang Chen held his breath, unsure of what to say. F0lloww new 𝒄hapters at nov/(e)l/bin/(.)com

“Yang Chen, I don’t believe anyone is happy when they kill. I don’t believe that death is the only end to everything. Didn’t you tell me that Sister Cai Ning helped you out by taking the blame for killing Zeng Mao so you wouldn’t have to? I think she, like me, doesn’t want to see you with blood on your hands,” Lin Ruoxi sighed, placing her left hand on Yang Chen’s right arm. “You don’t need to kill Li Minghe just because he poisoned me. For me, as long as he’s punished, that’s enough. What I don’t want to see is the look in your eyes after you kill someone. It makes me feel you’re so far away, not the Yang Chen who lives with us. Do you understand?”

Finally, Yang Chen smiled wryly. “You’ve really defeated me. If I’d known, I would have secretly dealt with Li Minghe. Fine, I promise you, if he doesn’t do anything excessive, I’ll take him to court. But if he does something to upset me again, don’t blame me.”

Lin Ruoxi nodded slightly, “Of course, if he really threatens you, then there’s no other way.”

Yang Chen thought to himself that Li Minghe’s resistance was inevitable, so killing him was only a matter of time. However, seeing how apprehensive Lin Ruoxi was about him killing, he felt a bit reflective.

For ordinary people, even seeing a dead body is terrifying, let alone a bloody scene. He needed to consider the feelings of those around him, especially since his killing aura, even a little, was a huge impact on Lin Ruoxi.

As they talked, the car neared the Yulei International building. At the same time, Mo Qianni called Lin Ruoxi.
