Du Xue's sworn brother was called Zhou Xin. She worked in a hospital in a small town, was not only a doctor, but also an outstanding pharmacist. He was in her thirties, but still unmarried, and lived alone in a two-storey ancestral house in the town.
The reason why Deng Fan came here, was completely for the convenience of assassinating Duan Wuxie, because Duan Wuxie would quickly appear in this small town. This saved him the time to look for someone and made it easy for him to just stay here and wait.
Du Xue did not conceal her purpose for coming here from her, but Zhou Xin had also expressed his full support of their actions.
In this period of less than a week, Deng Fan did not even look for a job. Every day, he would either run a long distance or practice boxing. Other than that, he rarely had any other activities, because he needed to maintain his physical strength and explosive strength to face the upcoming battle.
Of course, Deng Fan had a very important reason for doing this, and that was to continue increasing his killing intent.
Once it was loose, the killing intent would weaken or even disappear.
Therefore, Deng Fan had to work hard to keep his mental state active. Almost every day, he would use up all of his physical strength with a high intensity training, and only when he was asleep at night, would he be able to replenish his strength, and then continue tomorrow, without any interruptions.
The only thing she could do was to give Deng Fan water when he was thirsty, give him the best food when he was hungry, and also help him wipe his sweat when Deng Fan was tired.
Du Xue was very clear that it would not be easy to assassinate Duan Wuxie, because he was protected by people practically all the time, especially on the day of the society's elections. There must be a lot of people guarding the place, and ordinary people wouldn't even be able to get close to him, let alone kill him.
It was said that someone had once hired a gunner to attempt to assassinate Duan Wuxie from a distance, but he did not succeed. After that, Duan Wuxie became even more cautious, he would frequently have his double help him lead the way, whether it was real or fake, to such an extent that anyone who wanted to kill him might not know which one was the real Duan Wuxie, making it even more difficult to kill him.
However, no matter how many substitute bodies Duan Wuxie had, it was impossible for him to bring a substitute body to the scene on the day of the election, so that would be the best time to assassinate him.
Days passed, and in the blink of an eye, less than a day had passed since Duan Wuxie had arrived.
Tomorrow is the day that Duan Wuxie will be assassinated.
If everything went well, tomorrow would be the day of Duan Wuxie's death.
But if he failed, tomorrow would very likely be the day of Deng Fan's death.
Deng Fan had already made the resolution to face death, and even if he and Duan Wuxie were to die together, he had to kill this demon known as Duan Wuxie.
It was late at night, and most of the people in the town had gone to sleep. There was no sound except for the occasional barking from the alleyway.
Deng Fan and Du Xue could not fall asleep, because tomorrow, they would face the end of the trial. Whether it was the end of their life or their own doom was still unknown.
"Tomorrow is the best time to kill Duan Wuxie." Du Xue who was lying on the bed said to Deng Fan who was sleeping by the pillow.
"Mm. I've been waiting for this day for a long time. What should come will eventually come." Deng Fan's tone was calm, but his heart was calm.
"How confident are you?" Du Xue asked.
"As long as Duan Wuxie appears, I have absolute confidence." Deng Fan said.
"If you come back alive, we'll leave this island together and fly far away from it, okay?" Du Xue said.
"If I come back alive, I'll definitely take you away." Deng Fan said.
"If you die, I'll go with you."
"I will not die. For you, I will definitely return alive." Deng Fan said.
"I'm sure you can." Du Xue nodded towards Deng Fan to express her trust.
After a moment of silence, Du Xue suddenly asked again: "Brother Li, do you regret knowing me?"
"Why do you ask?"
"If you didn't know me, you wouldn't be involved in this hatred." Du Xue said, "Duan Wuxie is my enemy in the first place, it has nothing to do with you."
"Don't say that. Even if he didn't kill your parents, I would have done the same." Deng Fan said, "If I don't stand out, he will definitely harm even more innocent people."
"You're really great. I didn't choose the wrong person." Du Xue said, "Regardless of whether you live or die in the future, I will only love you for my entire life.
"It's not that great. I feel very small." Deng Fan said, "However, hearing you say this, I am truly very happy. In this lifetime, being able to meet you and live with you is also my good fortune. Even if I die now, I will not have any regrets."
"You won't die. We will all be alive and well." Du Xue's gaze was filled with yearning for a better future, "Tomorrow, after killing Duan Wuxie, will be the beginning of our new life."
"Let's hope so!" After Deng Fan finished speaking, he kissed Du Xue's forehead lightly, and continued to say: "Go to sleep, I need to nurture my spirit to face tomorrow's tough battle."
"Yes." Du Xue nodded and closed her eyes.
Every two years, they would re-elect the person in question. Today was the day of the election. He had chosen this small town because it had once been the base of operations for the Moon Worship Assembly, so it was worth remembering. The election was held in a large house on the outskirts of the city.
As it was not the time for the elections yet, and Duan Jitian had not appeared, Deng Fan still insisted on jogging in the small town. Firstly, to pass the time, and secondly, to maintain his vitality.
It wasn't even noon yet, but when Deng Fan returned from his run, he suddenly saw a white car whizzing past when he was about to reach home. An ominous premonition rose in his heart, and he hastened home.
After returning home, Deng Fan searched through the entire house, but didn't see Du Xue and Zhou Xin. He wanted to call Du Xue, but his phone suddenly rang.
He took out his phone to see that it was Zhou Xin calling.
"Brother Zhou, where did Du Xue go?"
"You have to stay calm, Du Xue is injured, and I am sending her to the hospital."
When Deng Fan heard that Du Xue was injured, how could she still remain calm? He asked in shock, "How did she get injured? Are your injuries serious? "
"It's still hard to say. She was stabbed."
After Deng Fan heard this, his entire body was in a mess.
Half an hour later, Deng Fan also arrived at the hospital and welcomed him.
"How is Snowy now?" Deng Fan asked Zhou Xin anxiously.
"The doctor is in the middle of rescuing us. We have to wait patiently first." Zhou Xin comforted Deng Fan as he spoke, and pulled him into a chair.
"Who did this?" Deng Fan asked angrily after he sat down.
"It must be Duan Wuxie's doing." Zhou Xin said.
"Really?" Deng Fan was surprised.
"This morning, little sister saw Duan Wuxie at the market, I think that Duan Wuxie must have also seen her, so she sent someone to follow her, and when they were almost home, she suddenly rushed out and stabbed me." Zhou Xin said.
"Why did Duan Wuxie do this?" Deng Fan asked with a trembling voice due to anger.
"Duan Wuxie also knew that he wanted to kill him. In order to protect himself in the greatest possible way, what he did should be understandable!" Zhou Xin said, "He is a mad man, what can he not do?"
After Deng Fan heard this, he clenched his fists so hard that it seemed as if he was about to shatter the air. I will tear you into a thousand pieces! "
"I hope that little sister can escape from this calamity. I hope that nothing will happen to her." Zhou Xin let out a long sigh, his expression was also filled with grief and indignation.
Who is Du Xue's family member? At this moment, a male doctor suddenly came out from the emergency room and asked.
"I am!"
Deng Fan and Zhou Xin stood up at almost the same time.
"I hope you are mentally prepared. We have done our best." the doctor said flatly.
"What did you say?" Deng Fan was so shocked that he immediately rushed forward and tightly gripped the doctor's arms, and loudly asked: "You mean to say that Xiao Xue … "Dead?"
"I'm really sorry, but we doctors aren't deities after all." The doctor then lowered his head, as if he was mourning for Du Xue.
Deng Fan did not speak anymore, and suddenly released his hand, turned around and rushed into the emergency room.
On a white bed, there was a person covered with white cloth. Without a doubt, it was Du Xue.
"Little Snow!" Deng Fan cried out involuntarily, "NO!"
Unable to accept this fact, he rushed to the bedside and gently lifted the white cloth with his trembling hands.
A pale face appeared under the white cloth. It was Du Xue.
Although that face was still beautiful, it had lost its luster and color.
Her eyes were tightly shut, and no matter how Deng Fan called out by her ear, she still did not open them.
Deng Fan leaned on Du Xue and cried out in grief. He still could not believe that Du Xue was dead, but this was not a dream, because he could feel the bitter, salty taste of the tears flowing into his mouth.
"Sister Xue!" Zhou Xin came to Du Xue's side and couldn't help but cry.
After an unknown period of time, Deng Fan finally wiped his tears and slowly stood up. Without saying a word, he turned and walked out.
"Brother Du, where are you going?" Zhou Xin immediately gave chase.
"Where else can we go? Of course it's to avenge Snowy." Deng Fan clenched his fists, the killing intent on his face turning cold.
"Do you know where Duan Wuxie is now?" Zhou Xin asked anxiously.
"I don't know. I will wait for him to appear." Deng Fan said.
"But we can only do that at night!" Zhou Xin said, "Right now, if you act rashly, you will only alert the enemy."
"I know what to do." Deng Fan slowly said, "Right now, I just want to go back and calm down."
"That's good too. This is a critical moment. Whether or not we can avenge Snowy will depend on you today. I hope you will not act recklessly." Zhou Xin reminded.
Deng Fan did not speak anymore, and silently walked away.
After returning home, Deng Fan took out two photos, one of Du Xue's and one of Duan Wuxie's. The reason there were photos of Duan Wuxie was because he had wandered around the Moon Worship Guild before. It was also because of this that he understood the rules of many meetings.
Deng Fan burned the photo of Duan Wuxie with the lighter, then stared at the photo of Du Xue in her hand and muttered, "Xiao Xue, don't worry. No matter what, I will kill Duan Wuxie today. Wait patiently for me there, after I kill Duan Wuxie, I will come and accompany you very soon. " With that, he burned Snowy's picture.
Looking at the picture of Du Xue slowly turning to ashes, Deng Fan seemed to see the scene of Du Xue being cremated. He was very sad, very sad, but he no longer shed tears, as if the tears had already turned into blood and flowed into his heart.
