Chapter 229 - Link between the lives.

Liu Ruolan was also thrown beside Bo Xiao. She wanted to move towards him as she believed that he was the only one who could protect her in this situation too like he did before but he turned his face in the other direction. He would never forget her betrayal, even in his dreams. Though, it was a different matter that he was using her all this time.

On the other hand, Liu Ruolan also regretted her decision for taking the side of their boss. Perhaps, if she had done the things just like Bo Xiao wanted, she would have been in a better condition, but her hatred for Liu Juan made her muddleheaded.

Still, Liu Ruolan considered it as Liu Juan's fault and she didn't even look at her. Even if Liu Juan would die, Liu Ruolan would refuse to look at her.

However, Liu Ruolan couldn't understand a simple thing that since the man had betrayed her, he must have lied to her regarding Liu Juan too. However, the insecurity that Liu Ruolan felt on the arrival of Liu Juan in her life, in Bo Xiao's life, was enough to make her be against Liu Juan. Even if Liu Ruolan would know the truth someday behind Liu Juan's disappearance for so many years, she would still be against Liu Juan.

"Since you are alive, you know that you are still useful to me. So now it is time for you to show your real usefulness to continue to be alive." The man said while pacing back and forth calmly in front of Liu Juan, Liu Ruolan, and Bo Xiao.

Liu Juan and Bo Xiao knew that since they were left alive, that meant they still had to do work for this man, but what about Liu Ruolan?

Though she had been living with them, she had never taken part in any mission.

So what would she do now?

Especially since Bo Xiao wouldn't protect her anymore and Liu Ruolan didn't want Liu Juan's protection.

As soon as the man finished his sentence, Xin Chao passed an envelope to him. The man took it and went towards Liu Juan and bent down in front of her.

From the time the man had arrived in front of her, Liu Juan didn't utter a word but her eyes had conveyed everything i.e her hatred for him.

"I hope you have now understood that there is no way to get your freedom from me and from my world, so it is better for you to do as I say, understand?" The man asked in a soft voice as he still had one last mission for Liu Juan. After that, he would give her freedom personally not only from his world but also from this universe.

However, was Liu Juan ready to do the last mission of her life?

And the answer was absolutely a big NO!

A certain hint of stubbornness was clearly shown in Liu Juan's eyes. If the man wanted to kill her, he would do that happily as she now didn't have any fear because she knew that her death would come sooner or later since she had dared to go against their boss's words.

Since the man could read her thoughts, it wouldn't be difficult for him to read her eyes as well.

He got her answer and in the next second, he took out the gun to point at her and fired it instantly!

When Bo Xiao saw this, he panicked and wanted to save Liu Juan but the man had triggered the gun before he could get the chance to do so.

On the other hand, Liu Ruolan smiled upon seeing the scene in front of her and she was just waiting for the bullet to come out. Indeed, the bullet came out but it was not meant to hit Liu Juan; instead, it hit Liu Ruolan.

"Ahhh!"

A bullet passed through Liu Juan to pierce at the spot just above Liu Ruolan's heart.

"My, did I miss it?" The man commented in disappointment.

Bo Xiao sighed a relief while Liu Juan's eyes were wide in shock.

"Big sis…" Liu Juan moved to rush towards Liu Ruolan as no matter what, Liu Ruolan was still precious to her.

Unfortunately, blood-curdling pain arose in her body that she fell back on the ground with a 'thud' sound before she could even sit, let alone to stand and walk towards her big sister.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...." Liu Ruolan felt a heart-wrenching pain that she couldn't help but let out a blood-curdling cry..

Instantly, her clothes were covered in blood as well.

"Should I try again?" The man pointed the gun directed towards Liu Ruolan's head.

"No! I understand. I will do whatever you say!"

A prompt answer escaped Liu Juan's lips.

"Hmmm…" The man nodded satisfyingly when he saw the fear in Liu Juan's eyes which he loved to see in the eyes of his subordinates.

Then his gaze moved at Bo Xiao. "Tell me, Bo Xiao. Do you agree to be loyal to me and do a mission for me? Or…." The man pointed the gun at Liu Juan's head. "Should I end the life of your beloved, huh?"

"I will do it!" Bo Xiao didn't want to take any risk when he knew that a bullet would cost Liu Juan's life.

The smile on the man's face broadened in satisfaction. "What a wonderful bunch of people I have under me, don't you think so?

"And Liu Ruolan, my dear, you must be upset to hear that but you can only be a scapegoat for the mistake your lovely little sister would make. Such a pity, isn't it?" The man sympathetically said.

Through the love triangle, the man had connected the link between the lives of the three of them. If one would die, then the other two would also die.

Like, if Liu Juan would die then Liu Ruolan would automatically die as there was no use to let her live too while Bo Xiao would kill himself as the love of his life, Liu Juan, was no more.

Whereas, if Bo Xiao would die then Liu Ruolan would kill herself as the love of her life, Bo Xiao, was no more and since Liu Ruolan wouldn't be alive then why would Liu Juan be alive?

And if Liu Ruolan would die, then Liu Juan would kill herself and Bo Xiao would also follow after Liu Juan to the death realm.

Interesting!

Thinking about this linked system, the man wanted to clap his shoulders as he would never forget the interesting part while playing with the lives of his subordinates.

Then the man turned his gaze back to Liu Juan and showed her a photo from the envelope "The man is called Mo Jiang. Your next mission is to kill him."
