Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Only then did Fiona notice that Yue Xin’s condition was different from usual. Her voice was much softer as she said, “The rule of Building No. 3 is that the same person can’t sell the same information. You can buy it from someone else in our building. You know that Building No.3 can’t sell fake information. As long as it can be sold, it must be true.” The premise was that the person you found had the information you wanted. In the entire Building No. 3, Fiona knew the most.
Yue Xin walked to Fiona’s side and stopped. When she heard these words, she thought for a moment and nodded.
Fiona had just heaved a sigh of relief and was about to get up and leave when she heard the sound of a bullet being loaded.
Yue Xin skillfully took out a pistol from the side of No. 12’s thigh and pressed it against Fiona’s heart. “I’m not buying information from you.”
“I want you to use this information to buy your life!”
Fiona Thompson, 32 years old, was once a famous information broker worldwide. She started a war by selling information between countries and then left. When she was 24 years old, she almost caused a world war because she was selling information between six countries. Then, under the pursuit of various forces, she hid in the Land of the Fallen and lived a happy and leisurely life under the protection of others. But now, her beautiful life was broken. Someone was holding a gun to her heart at this moment!
As the ancient Chinese said, it was better to die than to be dishonored.
However, to Fiona, she felt that it was better to be alive. Please, she was just an information broker, not a warrior. There was no need for her to lose her life for some rules. As for integrity… what was integrity? It was nothing!
If the information was worthless, they could still create new information. If the client was lost, they could still bring in new customers. If the rules were broken, they could still make new rules, but there was only one life. They could lose anything, but not their lives! This was the code of conduct Fiona Thompson had followed all her life!
Hence, the person in charge of Building No. 3, who was known as the absolute model of compliance of the prison, only took two seconds to weigh everything in his heart after sensing the danger.
“Maya was killed by the man in charge of Building No. 1.”
After saying that, Yue Xin retracted her gun as if nothing had happened and calmly put it back into the holster on No. 12’s thigh. She even thoughtfully tidied it up, as if this could cover up the dangerous thing she had just done.
No. 12 was originally very speechless, but for some reason, when he saw the lifeless Yue Xin in his eyes, he felt inexplicably frustrated.
Yue Xin put down her gun and stood in front of No. 12. She stared into his eves,
as if confirming something. “No. 12, kill the person in charge of Building 1.”
Np. 12. was not surprised by this order at all, but he could not give Yue Xin an affirmative answer like before. He had no right to deal with the goods on the 36th floor, and he could not deal with them either. Unlike the prisoners on the other floors of Building 1, the prisoners on the 35th and 36th floors had the most loyal dogs sent from outside. These dogs could not be dealt with by No. 12 alone.
“I’m sorry, Ma’am. I can’t.”
After being rejected, Yue Xin did not show any surprise; it was as if she had just asked casually.
Yue Xin looked at Fiona again and said, “Come with me.”
Fiona didn’t know what to say. She had answered the question. Why couldn’t she leave yet?
Yue Xin turned around and saw Fiona standing rooted to the ground, staring straight at her.
For a moment, Fiona felt as if a poisonous snake had wrapped around her neck and she couldn’t breathe. She had experienced this many times and met people who were even more dangerous than Yue Xin. She knew very well that in this situation, she had to abandon all principles and beliefs if she wanted to survive.
Thinking of this, Fiona smiled sweetly and jogged to catch up with Yue Xin. She explained, “Just like you said, I didn’t take your money, so it doesn’t count as selling the information to you. This isn’t breaking the rules, right?”
Yue Xin didn’t answer. Instead, she said to No. 12 in a daze, “No. 12, guard outside.”
No. 12 hung his head and replied in a low voice, “Yes, Ma’am.”
Yue Xin brought Fiona to her room, and No. 12 looked at Maya’s closed door as if he had sensed something was escaping his control.
Fiona stayed in Yue Xin’s room for two days. In the past two days, Yue Xin had not eaten anything except for asking No. 12 to send water into her room a few times. Fiona was the same.
On the third day, Yue Xin came out of her room as if she had found her direction. In her eyes, there was something more than two days ago. It was an obsession.
“No. 12, I have two requests. Please pass them on to the people outside.”
Yue Xin still didn’t know who was outside, but this didn’t stop her from using her value..
