Chapter 738: Chapter 714:

Thud...

A kitchen knife ruthlessly chopped into Yang Yupeng’s shoulder, slicing deep enough to expose the bone as blood spurted out. Luckily, the cut didn’t sever a major artery, otherwise, he would have died even faster. Yang Yupeng gazed deeply at the now crazed Lin Ziwen and said with profound affection, "Ziwen, no matter what, I still love you... forever..."

"No, no, I don’t want to hear this!" Lin Ziwen bit her teeth, raised the kitchen knife again, and chopped down at Yang Yupeng, another slice, this one hitting his chest, but with noticeably less force than the first.

"Whether you listen or not, my love is right there!" Yang Yupeng suddenly reached out to grab Lin Ziwen’s hands, then said, "You have to believe me, everything I’ve done is for your own good. If you don’t believe me, I can prove it with my life!"

"No, stop lying to me, Yang Yupeng, you liar!" Lin Ziwen screamed hysterically. She went mad struggling but was never able to break free from Yang Yupeng’s grip. Yang Yupeng fiercely kissed her red lips, then snatched the kitchen knife from her hands.

"Oh my God, he’s not going to kill Assistant Lin, is he?!" Milking Girl exclaimed in shock.

"Oh, my God, has he lost his mind?" others said, equally astonished.

Yang Yupeng grabbed the knife from Lin Ziwen’s hands, took a couple of steps back, and raised the kitchen knife high, Lin Ziwen stared dumbfounded, then she realized the truth and smiled, "Kill me then, perhaps, that’s the only escape. Yupeng, thank you for once loving me, even though that love was just a deception, but at least it let me love passionately!"

"Farewell!" A tear rolled down the corner of Yang Yupeng’s eye.

Suddenly, Yang Yupeng lunged forward, and the kitchen knife chopped down fiercely.

Thud...

A splash of blood flew, and everyone closed their eyes, not daring to look up. Suddenly, an angry roar rang out in the hall, "Yang Yupeng, how dare you betray me, I’m going to kill you!"

Yang Yupeng’s slash was not aimed at Lin Ziwen but at Shen Haotian, who was watching the drama unfold without any defense. The knife would have decapitated Shen Haotian if he hadn’t reacted in time to dodge the vital area; however, he only suffered a cut to the clavicle.

Despite avoiding a critical hit, the pain was excruciating; Shen Haotian screamed fiercely, raised his leg, and kicked hard into Yang Yupeng’s chest. That kick instantly took Yang Yupeng’s life.

Lin Ziwen opened her eyes in shock, thinking she had already left this world, but when she opened her eyes, she found herself still alive. And as she did, she clearly saw Yang Yupeng kicked into the air by Shen Haotian, smiling at her mid-flight. Lin Ziwen’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Boom...

A loud crash echoed as Yang Yupeng slammed hard against a stone column in the hall, his body then slowly slid down the column.

"My God, what... what’s going on?"

"How should I know, it seems like Yang Yupeng had a last-minute change of heart?"

The crowd murmured among themselves, Milking Girl curiously turned to Little Mei and asked, "Little Mei sis, what do you think?"

"Sigh, I think that Yang Yupeng has always deeply loved Assistant Lin, it’s just... there must be some indescribable secret in his heart!" Little Mei sighed, Milking Girl frowned and said, "What kind of indescribable secret? Why not just explain things to Assistant Lin? Why make everything so complicated?"

"Heh, you don’t understand the world of feelings!" Little Mei gave a faint smile.

"Hehe, do you understand it then? I see you’ve never been in love either," Xingxing giggled as if she couldn’t feel the tragic atmosphere that enveloped the scene at all.

"Hmm," Little Mei nodded, but thought to herself, is it considered being in a relationship if you’re secretly in love with someone? I’ve tried to love, but found it so difficult, because some people are beyond our reach, don’t you think so, Ye Chen?

Lin Ziwen seemed to suddenly come to a realization; she rushed madly towards Yang Yupeng, then hugged him and exclaimed, "Yupeng, what... what’s happened to you, what’s wrong, don’t scare me!"

Lin Ziwen was scared witless. In that instant, it was as if she had undergone a life-changing transformation. Although she did not understand Yang Yupeng’s plight, she knew that he must have had his reasons, otherwise, he wouldn’t have done such a foolish thing.

"Ziwen, I... I’m alright!" Yang Yupeng managed to say one sentence before immediately spitting out a large mouthful of blood, his heart shattered, and blood gushing out. Lin Ziwen cried even harder, "Yupeng, don’t scare me, please don’t scare me!"

"Listen to me!" Yang Yupeng showed a faint smile and said, "Ziwen, I truly love you, you have to believe me, it’s just that I have my own hardships. Do you understand?"

"I understand, stop talking, I’ll take you to the hospital right now!" Love is a very great emotion. It can turn all hatred into nothingness in an instant. When Lin Ziwen understood Yang Yupeng’s hardships, it seemed that she forgave everything.

"No need!" Yang Yupeng shook his head and said, "I know my own condition very well, my life is nearly over!"

"No!" Lin Ziwen shook her head vigorously.

"Since I was young, I was an orphan, taken in by others, taught martial arts, and became a qualified guard!" Yang Yupeng reminisced about his glorious history with the Luo Sijue family, but alas, time could no longer be turned back. Yang Yupeng smiled faintly, "Later, I followed my current master and left that place. Afterward, I was assigned this mission, and my master told me, if I completed this mission, he would grant me my freedom. I longed for freedom, I craved freedom... But then, I realized how difficult this mission was because I had fallen deeply in love with you..."

Yang Yupeng recounted the details between the two of them, making Lin Ziwen weep bitterly. At this moment, every person from Tianya Group present shed tears. Although it was a melodramatic plot of an assassin falling in love with his target, the deep love touched everyone’s hearts. Most melodramatic plots in the stock market stories end perfectly, but behind this stock market, there was desolation, blood, and separation...

"Assistant Lin is so pitiful!" Milking Girl wiped her tears and nestled into Little Mei’s embrace.

"Yes," Little Mei said with a light smile, "Such love is what’s truly perfect and enviable!"

"But if people are dead and can’t be together, what’s there to envy?" Xingxing looked at Little Mei in shock.

"At least they have memories, a beautiful recollection!" Little Mei chuckled, then continued, "Compared to some people, who spend their whole lives pining and never daring to confess, it’s much stronger. If it were me, I would rather have a passionate romance with the one I love, even if just for one day, and then die; I would be willing..."

"Little Mei, you’ve got the spring fever!" Milking Girl stared at Little Mei with widened eyes.

"You’re the one with spring fever!" Little Mei huffed.

Lin Ziwen buried her head deep into Yang Yupeng’s embrace, crying out, "Why, why hasn’t the ambulance arrived, why hasn’t it come yet?!"

Everyone quickly snapped to their senses and frantically dialed for emergency services.

"My most desired life was for us to find an uninhabited Paradise and live a simple life of farming and weaving!" Yang Yupeng looked at Lin Ziwen, coughing up a mouthful of blood, tears streaming from his eyes, and then his whole body went limp. Lin Ziwen clung tightly to Yang Yupeng, and though she was already soaked with a great deal of his blood, when she saw that Yang Yupeng had lost all signs of life, she screamed hysterically, "Yupeng, Yupeng, my Yupeng!"

Such sorrow was truly beyond words. Everyone couldn’t help but cry. Yet there was one person who was furious with the situation—that was Shen Haotian. He had never expected that Yang Yupeng, who had always been loyal, would betray him. Grinding his teeth, he said, "Someone, bring Yang Yupeng’s body back to me!"

"Yes!" Two little brothers immediately stepped forward, ready to move Yang Yupeng’s corpse. But unexpectedly, Lin Ziwen suddenly stood up, and like a furious beast, she glared at them and said, "Who dares to take a step closer, I will kill them!"

"Uh..." The two little brothers were immediately dumbfounded. Faced with the enraged Lin Ziwen, they dared not move; after all, Lin Ziwen was no longer just a woman, but like a wild beast. Shen Haotian angrily said, "Get out of the way, let me do it!"

"Stop!" Fang Qin couldn’t stand it anymore. Shen Haotian had just kicked Yang Yupeng to death. That could not be ruled as a crime since it was self-defense. However, now he was about to attack Lin Ziwen, and that could not be allowed. Fang Qin was about to step forward but was blocked by Shen Haotian’s little brothers.
