Chapter 254 - The Real Truth (Part-1)

Complete silence had filled the atmosphere. The dark night continued to linger on with no hope to go away anytime soon.

The only house in this desert forest had been blown up. The nearby trees caught the fire and their trunk was still burning in the fire with the sizzling sound of the crackling flame..

The dead bodies of the men were scattered everywhere.

'Cough'

'Cough'

'Cough'

'Cough'

A couple of coughs flew the soil a little away from her lips. Liu Juan opened her eyes and closed them again. A ding sound echoed in her ears and the blood was rolling down from her ears also.

She opened her eyes again and she seemed to be dazed. Her eyelids blinked a few times while her mind was trying to understand who she was, where she was, and what had happened to her.

Her mind flashed back with the many memories that were overlapping. A pain burst out in her mind that she closed her eyes when her mind recalled exactly what had happened.

After she had killed Xin Chao, she went back to stand beside Mo Jiang and before she could understand anything, Markus fell down from the window. Instantly Mo Jiang held her hands to jump down from the window but her legs were injured so she couldn't run fast. To speed up their escape, he held her up and threw her out of the window.

When she was falling down, her eyes caught sight of a high bowl of fire coming in the room which had burned the whole house down.

"Mo Jiang…" Liu Juan murmured before she lost her consciousness.

"What do you mean you can't trace them?" Mo Jinnan anxiously asked while briskly following after Si Li.

"Stay out of this I will handle this." Si Li didn't give him much detail and walked out but before he could walk away, Mo Jinnan came in front of him and held his collar. "Answer me, damnit! He is my brother!"

Mo Jinnan's eyes turned red in rage.

Si Li's team always took extra precaution for the safety of his men, so they kept tracking down any occasional casualties, in case they needed to send in any help.

Usually, Si Li's men were very efficient such that they always managed to extract their men back safely.

Unfortunately, this time things didn't seem to go well.

Seeing that Mo Jinnan didn't have the intention to back out this time, Si Li helplessly sighed "Sorry, Jinnan but I have promised your brother. Hope you understand this."

Mo Jinnan didn't understand what Si Li was talking about and in the next second, Mu Che unanticipatedly jabbed a shot on his neck and he lost his consciousness.

Mu Che held Mo Jinnan before he could fall down to the ground.

"Take care of him." Si Li straightened his suit and walked away.

"Cheep...Cheep…"

The dark brutal night had finally faded away with the onset of the bright day. The birds were roaming in the sky, unbothered by the chaos that had happened down on the land.

The frame of the blaze had been extinguished leaving behind only the dark clouds of smoke.

The sun had risen on the highest point in the sky, sending its intense ray down to the earth making Liu Juan's brows frown.

Her eyes were still closed but the intense ray of the sun was forcing her to open her eyes which she didn't want to.

"Mo Jiang..." Liu Juan timidly murmured as her mind was subconsciously hoping that Mo Jiang would come in front of her to save her from those harsh sun rays like he always came to rescue her.

She just wanted to sleep continuously and didn't want to recognize the fact that her body was screaming in pain and the harsh truth that Markus had won again.

A while had passed, and Mo Jiang still didn't come, making her open her eyes against her will. Her mind was vaguely clear and she scanned her surroundings with all the memories from the last night hitting her mind suddenly.

Mo Jiang?

Where was he?

Liu Juan moved her body to sit up and a sharp pain rose in her right leg. Her pants were soaked in blood and with every slight movement of hers, the blood started to flow again.

But she didn't care. She had to find Mo Jiang.

After a lot of struggle, she was able to sit and saw that the dead bodies of many men were scattered around.

Immediately, her heart sank in her c.h.e.s.t.

No! Mo Jiang can't die.

This was the first thought that came to her mind, and she stood up to find Mo Jiang but...

'Thud!'

Her body didn't have much energy, and she slumped back. The pain in her right leg struck back, making her unable to stand again.

"Mo Jiang..." Liu Juan called out in a hoarse voice as her throat had dried out completely. Her eyes were looking everywhere, in case he was alright and nearby then he would definitely come to help her.

"Mo Jiang!!!" Liu Juan called out.

She called him out a few more times but each time her voice volume was dwindling to a sigh. Also, the amount of blood flowing out from her body was making her lose consciousness.

A black-light flashed in front of her eyes and the harsh sun rays were taking away the last bit of energy from her body. If she continued to stay in this condition for a few more minutes, then her wish for death might be fulfilled.

Her fighting spirit also was dying that she was ready to end her life.

A red light flashed in front of her eyes because of the sun's rays making her eyes close them. But before she could do so, her sight spotted the face of the man she was looking for.
