Hearing Su Wen's words, Rulu couldn't help but feel his anger rising. His eyes flashed with hatred as he stared at Su Wen and said: "Since I dared to come here alone, I've already prepared for the worst. Today, no matter what, I will kill you."

  As Rulu said this, he pointed his gun at Su Wen, intending to kill him. Su Wen sensed the danger and hurriedly said: "Wait, don't act rashly. We can discuss this..."

  "Go to hell—" Rulu didn't listen to him at all and directly used his left hand to hold the gun, firing a shot at Su Wen's head. However, since Rulu wasn't used to holding a gun with his left hand, the bullet hit the ground near Su Wen's head with a "pah" sound, not hitting Su Wen himself.

  Su Wen's face instantly turned pale. He said in panic: "No, don't shoot. If you spare me, I'll fully cooperate with you and ensure you leave safely."

  "Is that your last words?" Rulu walked to Su Wen's side and pressed the gun against Su Wen's head.

  "No, please, no! I beg you to spare me!" Su Wen felt death approaching and was terrified. He said frantically: "Even if you don't think of yourself, you should think of your family and friends. Please spare me."

  Hearing this, Rulu couldn't help but pause. He remembered that Nana was waiting for him to return. If anything happened to him, Nana would be left all alone in the world, and it would be difficult for her to survive in the future.

  With this thought, the hatred and anger in Rulu's heart slightly diminished. He said: "Fine, I'll give you one chance. Now, order everyone in this area to withdraw. If I see a single person remaining here, I'll blow your head off."

  "Yes... I understand," Su Wen said, trembling. He didn't dare to play any tricks and faithfully executed Rulu's words, ordering all the soldiers outside to withdraw from the area. After a while, Rulu went to the window and looked out, indeed seeing that all the soldiers outside had withdrawn.

  Afterward, Rulu ordered the soldier he controlled to hold Su Wen hostage, and they left the room together, exiting the building. The soldiers in this area had withdrawn completely as per Su Wen's orders. Rulu's group didn't encounter any obstacles and successfully left the building. They found a small car nearby and drove away from the area. During the journey, Rulu also made Su Wen issue an order not allowing anyone to follow them.

  More than half an hour later, the car arrived at a secluded alley with no one around. Rulu got out of the car and had the soldier bring Su Wen out and throw him on the ground.

  "You're safe now, can... can you let me go?" Su Wen said weakly. He had been shot twice, and although the wounds weren't life-threatening, he had lost a lot of blood. If he didn't receive treatment soon, he would eventually die.

  "Now that I'm safe, do you think I still have a reason to let you go?!" Rulu laughed coldly, staring at Su Wen with malicious intent. From the beginning, he never planned to spare Su Wen.

  Su Wen breathed heavily, saying with difficulty: "You... you won't gain anything by killing me. But if you spare me this time, I promise not to oppose you in the future, and I'll do everything in my power to prevent the Sanctuary from pursuing you."

  "Do you think I would believe your words?" Rulu remained unmoved. He took out his gun and pointed it at Su Wen.

  Using his last strength, Su Wen said: "Wait, think about it. If I die, the Sanctuary will send someone more formidable to serve as Governor, putting all their efforts into capturing you. By then, you will never know peace, and your friends will also be implicated. I'm just a waste, your defeated opponent. My being alive benefits you more than my being dead."

  Hearing these words, Rulu couldn't help but be somewhat moved. He thought that although Su Wen was despicable, his words made sense. For himself alone, it might not matter much, but if Nana had to live in fear every day, constantly being pursued by the Sanctuary, that wouldn't be good.

  After pondering for a moment, Rulu finally made a decision in his heart and said to Su Wen: "Fine, I can spare your life. I trust that a waste like you won't dare to oppose me again."

  Su Wen hastily said: "Thank... thank you."

  Rulu then added: "However, while you may be spared from death, you cannot escape punishment."

  As Rulu said this, he pointed the gun barrel at the lower half of Su Wen's body.

  "What... what are you going to do..." Su Wen said with eyes wide with terror.

  "From now on, you'll be a crippled Governor. Trading a pair of legs for your life—you're getting off easy," Rulu said as he aimed his gun at Su Wen's legs and fired repeatedly, shattering them to pieces, leaving them a bloody mess. Su Wen let out cries of agony before passing out from the pain.

  Afterward, Rulu left the soldier and the unconscious Su Wen there and departed alone. An hour later, Rulu returned to the vicinity of his former school, arriving at the pre-arranged meeting spot with C.C.

  "Oh, Rulu, you're actually unharmed. I thought you wouldn't make it back this time," C.C. emerged from the shadows, coming to Rulu and pretending to be surprised as she looked at him.

  "Hmph, how could such a small matter be difficult for me?" Rulu raised his head, put on a stern face, and spoke in a manner pretending not to care.

  C.C. stared at Rulu's injured right arm and said: "Is that so? Then why are you injured?"

  Rulu touched his injured right arm and said: "Getting away with just this level of injury is already lucky. How's the situation on your end?"

  C.C. said: "Nothing special. A-Niu and Sphinx have already returned to the school. But what about your end? Have you taken care of everything?"
