Chapter 882: Chapter 882: Ruanruan: Get to the Point, Is This Lifetime’s Destiny Over?

"Tsk, tsk..."

Seeing Taixing’s collapsing and frantic state, Hen Nianzhen gently shook her head, "So fragile, indeed only fit to be a soulless pet, even less than a woman."

She withdrew her hand from the other’s chin, her fingertips rubbing disdainfully.

Suddenly, Taixing exploded, "I’m going to kill you!!!"

Ignoring the Soul-locking Chain on his body, he charged towards Hen Nianzhen, his remaining puppet power causing fluctuations.

He was clearly trying to blow up his soul body!

"How dare you!"

"Presumptuous!"

Two Underworld Envoys roared in unison, their voices cold as knives, tinged with threads of fear.

Seeing Taixing bent on dying together, Hen Nianzhen, unable to avoid him, was shocked and her face turned pale.

After entering the Netherworld, all her puppet power had been wiped out, leaving only a slight Evil Qi that had yet to be released, reserved to support her weak soul body.

"Nianzhen!" A cry of alarm rang in Qin Ruan’s ears, coming from Ke Zhibin’s concern.

Qin Ruan frowned in disdain, distancing herself from him, and quickly took action.

An invisible force restrained Taixing.

At that moment, he was mere inches from Hen Nianzhen, seemingly about to die together with her.

Seeing this, the two Underworld Envoys sighed in relief and bowed to Qin Ruan with cupped fists, "Thank you, Miss Qin."

Once Taixing self-destructed, they would not be able to escape punishment for their negligence upon returning to the Netherworld.

Qin Ruan gave a light smile, "It’s a trifle, take him away."

Taixing was no longer of any value, staying would only be a nuisance.

But Hen Nianzhen... she was indeed beyond Qin Ruan’s expectations.

The Underworld Envoy who had personally put the Soul-locking Chain on Taixing, holding his soul, bowed to Qin Ruan, and in the blink of an eye, vanished from the spot, returning to the Netherworld to report.

Qin Ruan glanced at Ke Zhibin beside her, then looked at Hen Nianzhen, who was facing the remaining Underworld Envoy.

She cleared her throat with a soft cough and said to the two, "Are you going to chat briefly, or is this where you part ways forever, your fates in this life concluded?"

Hen Nianzhen had initially disregarded Qin Ruan, but now, saved by her and seeing the respectful behavior of the Netherworld envoys towards her, she knew she could no longer feign ignorance.

With a soft sigh, she slowly turned around, revealing her pale yet stunningly beautiful face.

Ke Zhibin’s body tensed subconsciously, his eyes intently fixed on Hen Nianzhen.

As the founder of Yahuang Entertainment, he was not completely aware of every detail in the entertainment industry but had it largely under his control.

However, he had never known that Hen Nianzhen had once been involved with Taixing, the fallen director of Cloud City, and that their relationship had been one of life and death entanglement.

Under Ke Zhibin’s complex and bewildered gaze, Hen Nianzhen was the first to break the silence.

She revealed a slight smile on her face and asked him, "Do you have any questions?"

Ke Zhibin looked deeply at Hen Nianzhen, his eyes slightly downcast, and slowly said, "Director Taixing entered the broadcasting industry at twenty, starting as a regular duty officer, and climbed to the position of director over more than twenty years.

Before his downfall, he even became a candidate for a special department, destined for a brilliant future. Looking at his ascent, it’s truly an inspirational story in the industry.

A few years ago, upper management conducted an investigation and found that he was suspected of serious disciplinary violations. It was clear to anyone that his ascending career was over, the worst outcome being a few years in prison, and he had to return the wealth acquired through corruption and bribery.

Unfortunately, Director Tai’s luck was not good. During the first trial, he died unexpectedly while in custody. It is known that Director Tai had significant backing. How did you, a woman, manage to bring about his family’s ruin and his death?"

If Hen Nianzhen hadn’t disclosed it herself, Ke Zhibin would dare say, not just him but most people in the industry would be unaware that Director Tai’s downfall in Cloud City years ago was orchestrated by her.

Hen Nianzhen shook her head at him, "Director Tai’s death wasn’t my doing, but I did arrange for someone to report him and provided undeniable evidence that contributed to his downfall."

Ke Zhibin frowned, slightly confused, "It wasn’t you?"

"Naturally, Director Tai alive would only cause disquiet to those above. After that, there was no need for me to act further; there were plenty of people who wanted him dead."

Hen Nianzhen answered with a smile, her eyes revealing an unmistakable hatred that was chilling to behold.

Ke Zhibin furrowed his brows, "What did he do to make you hate him so deeply?"

Hen Nianzhen looked up and sighed softly, her voice as tender as a lover’s whisper, "He ruined my life and even sought to take it."

Ke Zhibin, "What did he do to you?"

Hen Nianzhen fell silent, the smile on her face fading away.

The spacious corridor was enveloped in silence.

After an indeterminate amount of time, Hen Nianzhen spoke up, "Have you ever heard of the dark web?"

Her eyes fixed on Qin Ruan, it was unclear whom she was asking.

Ke Zhibin replied, "I’m aware of it."

What ordinary people see, the visible internet, is just the tip of the iceberg; the much vaster dark web is largely unknown, concealed in the depths like a hidden iceberg.

Rumors say it gathers every conceivable evil from this world, even those atrocities which people cannot imagine also exist there.

However, it was taken down long ago by the authorities, and its founders were incarcerated and executed years ago.

Hen Nianzhen nodded at Ke Zhibin, then looked towards Qin Ruan.

Unfortunately, scanning the other’s face revealed no emotion, and she moved her gaze away, disappointed.

With an ironic smile, Hen Nianzhen told Ke Zhibin, "Ordinary people need a browser to access websites, but criminals need special tools to access the dark web; a network deeper than the dark web cannot be accessed directly with any tools or browsers.

It is an internet legend—the Black Mandala Network."

Ke Zhibin’s brows remained tightly knit, "The Black Mandala Network? What kind of site is that?"

Hen Nianzhen’s eyes displayed disgust and anguish, "This site involves all kinds of shady dealings that society abhors, information trafficking, forgery of documents, trading people like livestock, even business involving weapons and drugs. Its existence symbolizes evil and death.

It terrifies the world and is a secret forbidden zone, a bloody execution ground, a graveyard for its witnesses. It is like an evil witch, executing every member who bears malice towards it."

Ke Zhibin recalled that before the closure of various dark web sites around the world, the trades mentioned by Hen Nianzhen were indeed what had transpired.

"I have never heard of the Black Mandala Network; are you sure it exists?"

He couldn’t help but wonder if it was just the dark web reemerging after many years.

Hen Nianzhen gave a desolate smile, "There’s no one more certain of its existence than me, a witness who experienced it firsthand; it is a presence far more terrifying than the dark web."

As Ke Zhibin and Qin Ruan looked on in skepticism and astonishment, she slowly said, "The trace I left in the Black Mandala Network is merely a drop in the ocean, yet it is the disgrace that destroyed my whole life!"

Her gaze staring at Ke Zhibin and Qin Ruan was unsettling, "Director Tai was no ordinary person; he was a member of the Black Mandala Network.

Fifteen years ago, thanks to him, I had the ’good fortune’ to be auctioned as merchandise on it, surviving by sheer luck. I live on today only because of my ancestors’ accumulated virtue."
