Chapter 313: I Want to Be With Her

Chapter 313: I Want to Be With Her

One person, 23 years.

How many things can one do, how much can one learn?

Xiao Yu believed it was countless—far beyond what ordinary people could imagine!

For instance, training a killer, a bandit, a thug, a mind controller…

Twenty-three years is enough for one person to master an overwhelming array of abilities and techniques!

Suppose Wen Xulong was indeed abducted at the age of six—not adopted by a normal family,

but instead grew up among criminals. Could that be possible?

Xiao Yu’s expression darkened.

“The nuclear power plant, the dam, the gas network, the oil depot… all those places have been checked.”

Wang Dong shook his head. “Everything’s in order!”

“In order?”

Xiao Yu mulled it over.

Why would everything be fine?

So how exactly does one go about destroying a city?

Suddenly, as though struck by a thought.

Xiao Yu’s face transformed; he shouted at Wang Dong.

“Let’s go to the hospital!”

……

City K, hospital, ward.

The Blind Girl had indeed awakened.

She was sprawled in her mother’s arms, weeping bitterly.

Her loyal guide dog of many years was dead.

Killed by the man she adored.

This revelation completely shattered her.

“He really liked you,”

Xiao Yu said calmly, standing in front of the Blind Girl. “If he didn’t care about you, you’d be nothing more than another corpse by now—just like your poor dog.”

No comfort offered, only salt thrown on the wound?

Not exactly.

The Blind Girl stopped crying and, glaring with eyes that saw nothing, faced Xiao Yu. “What did you say?”

“I said he really liked you.”

Xiao Yu continued, “Your dog was old and suffering; keeping it alive was pure agony. The autopsy confirmed it had a terminal illness… So he killed the dog. In doing so, he hoped you’d despise him—forget him, just as you once wanted to leave him rather than become a burden!”

The Blind Girl stood frozen, unmoving.

“I want to ask you something, too.”

Recalling a scene from that novel, Xiao Yu’s expression changed. “Have you noticed that he once… almost attempted suicide?”

He remembered a line from the book.

【The day I met her was the day she saved me. It was the day I considered ending it all, leaving this world…】

If that line truly reflected Wen Xulong’s inner thoughts,

then why would he want to kill himself?

And if he was determined to end it, why go through all this?

Also, suppose Fang Shuoxin is Wen Xulong’s brother.

Why would he treat his own brother so harshly?

As an elder brother, shouldn’t he care for his sibling properly…

No… Xiao Yu shook his head.

He recalled a conversation he once had with Fang Shuoxin.

He even asked him why he wrote that novel.

What did Fang Shuoxin say back then?

【Perhaps the source of my creativity was my former dream of becoming a special agent. I wanted to pen down that dream—the image of the special agent I had always envisioned…】

Xiao Yu’s expression changed completely—complex and somewhat eerie.

A daring idea suddenly sprouted in his mind.

Was it a brother fulfilling his younger brother’s wish?

Did he intend to turn his brother’s novel into reality, thereby realizing his brother’s dream?

For that, he transformed himself into a special agent… Dark Dragon?

So the people he killed were all villains?

Three nefarious thugs?

Rich second-generation individuals involved in arms smuggling?

And three members of a silver-smuggling gang executed by traditional methods?

Dark Dragon… the Wen Xulong cloaked in darkness?!

His mind was in complete disarray.

Covering his forehead with his hand, Xiao Yu said in a low voice, “Bring Fang Shuoxin to City K!”

Wang Dong, without a word, pulled out his phone and dialed a number.

After a long pause, Xiao Yu lifted his head and looked toward the dazed Blind Girl in her bed, asking word by word, “His post-war psychological syndrome… did it flare up?”

“Huh?”

The Blind Girl snapped back to reality. Her face immediately turned deathly pale as she stammered, “H-how did you know?”

Seeing her expression, Xiao Yu sighed.

Had Wen Xulong already done something to the Blind Girl long ago?

Was he in fear?

Is that why he killed her dog—to make her forget him completely?

Or perhaps…

Wen Xulong, were you destined to die all along?

【Meeting you was the first time I truly felt warmth!】

Recalling that line from the book, Xiao Yu gazed at the Blind Girl before him.

Was it because of her that you managed to live a little longer?

So… there was never any real plan to destroy a city?

You merely wanted to draw everyone in.

Saying goodbye to the one you love,

while grandly fulfilling your brother’s wish?

You did it.

You achieved what even many top agents could not.

You nearly drove us all, the state security personnel, crazy.

A special agent as formidable as you… I’m truly impressed!

At the final moment,

you would stay by the side of the one you love, right?

Turning around, Xiao Yu left the ward.

Not leaving the hospital, but heading to the medical building across the hallway and ascending to the rooftop.

From there, one could clearly see the scene inside the Blind Girl’s ward.

At the edge of the rooftop, Xiao Yu noticed a figure.

Sitting quietly, as if lost in thought…

Xiao Yu walked over.

Taking a seat beside the person, he pulled out a box of cigarettes.

“Care for a smoke?”

Xiao Yu looked at the other person, noting a paled face devoid of color.

Yet it was filled with tenderness, and the eyes showed reluctant sorrow.

“Sure.”

Wen Xulong looked at Xiao Yu, smiled softly, nodded, and took the cigarette. “Thank you.”

His voice was as gentle as his surname.

But Xiao Yu’s gaze fixed on Wen Xulong’s hand.

It bore numerous scars, with calloused patches where the skin had peeled to reveal oddly bulging muscles.

To Xiao Yu, those hands were no longer just hands—they were weapons.

Weapons for killing!

“You’re good with both guns and knives, aren’t you?” Xiao Yu asked calmly.

“Yes.”

Wen Xulong, puffing on his cigarette, nodded.

“Not inside the country?” Xiao Yu continued.

“No.”

Wen Xulong shook his head, “I was sold overseas when I was six.”

Xiao Yu asked no further questions and smoked silently alongside Wen Xulong.

After a long while,

“Hold on, your brother is dying.”

Xiao Yu exhaled a plume of smoke. “It’ll only be a few more hours—the final meeting.”

“No way.”

Wen Xulong shook his head, his smile growing even softer. “Let him know that he has a brother like me. Knowing nothing and living an ordinary life might just be the best, right?”

“I’m not so sure.”

Xiao Yu’s expression grew complicated. “I once met a fool—some called him Big King. He vowed that in his next life, no one would ever label him a fool. And you, what do you plan for your next life?”

“Me?”

Wen Xulong looked toward the ward not far off, through the window, at the little girl who resembled a delicate white flower. “I want to be with her!”

But…

His hand suddenly closed around Xiao Yu’s neck with lightning speed.

Unbelievably fast!
