Chapter 1 Crossing the Storm (1)

Dark clouds loomed over the city, a heavy atmosphere enveloping the entire mountain, with thick, inky clouds churning wildly in the dark sky. A dazzling bolt of lightning ripped menacingly across the sky, followed by a deafening clap of thunder, and then a torrential downpour.

A thin figure clutched her shoulder and ran desperately. "Stop! Stop! You can't escape. Surrender!" A man's voice shouted from behind, and more than a dozen figures followed closely behind him in the dark night and wind.

"Damn it!" Yun Zilu cursed softly, hooking her little finger around the gleaming black pistol, pinching her thumb and forefinger together, and tearing off a large piece of her clothes with a "swish," wrapping it around the wound on her left shoulder. Blood stained the black collar, making the color even darker.

She took a breath, gripped the gun handle tightly, and slowly turned her head back. Her long black hair was soaked through, clinging wetly to her face. In the dark night, her features were obscured, but her eyes, bright as the stars, gazed intently in the direction she came from. More than a dozen beams of light shone on her, and the group of people were standing not far from her.

"Put down your weapons and surrender obediently!" the middle-aged man in the lead shouted. Yun Zilu curled her lips coldly. Surrender? She had been an assassin for five years and carried out more than 30 missions for the Eagle Organization. This was not the first time her undercover identity had been exposed, nor was it the first time she had encountered such a predicament! Therefore, she will not easily admit defeat until the very last moment!

"Call out your leader. You have no right to take me back," Yun Zilu said coldly. "Brother Tiger, that woman is already injured, she can't escape!" someone whispered to the middle-aged man. Tiger paused slightly, while Yun Zilu smiled confidently. "Can't escape? Why not give it a try!" Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, a soft voice came from behind the crowd.

"Luo'er, you should surrender. You're injured." Yun Zilu's body jolted violently. That familiar tone, that familiar voice, that familiar caring tone! No, impossible, how could he be here?

"Luo'er, be good." As he spoke, a tall, slender figure emerged from the darkness. The man's face was cold and icy, his perfect physique wrapped in a black trench coat. His hands were in his pockets, seemingly unconcerned that the injured leopard in front of him would harm him. A faint gentleness inadvertently appeared in his eyes. "Ling Tianrui, is it you? You betrayed the organization?!"

Yun Zilu's voice trembled. She knew there was a traitor in the organization, and that this traitor had fallen in love with the other leader's beloved daughter. So the organization sent her here to investigate secretly. She was wondering why she had been exposed so quickly. If it was him, then it wouldn't be surprising.

"Ling Tianrui, you've fallen in love with another woman, so you betrayed the organization?" Yun Zilu asked in disbelief. God knows, her heart was pounding so hard. The man who once said he would give her sunshine, care for her, and accompany her through thick and thin, has really fallen in love with someone else?

"Yes, I want to marry her," Ling Tianrui replied calmly.
