QT: Against My Will (Volume 2)

4.65 - Showing Her True Colors- Dangerous Angels

'My paranoia is increasing day by day. Should I ignore it or not?'

'Before Fei Lan gets an opportunity to destroy me, I truly want to get rid of her first. But how?'

"I don't like her," Bing Shi glanced at Gu Min, instructing, "Let's push her out of the carriage."

Fei Lan looked darkly at Bing Shi and her sidekick as if expecting this scene to unfold. These two seemed to be isolating her to scheme her death. 'Is she finally showing her true colors?'

"B-but..." Without questioning why Tian Shi wanted to kill someone, Gu Min took it as a joke. She thought about the man outside, her lips shook in fear, "B-but his Highness is outside..."

"I'll manage, somehow," Bing Shi unlocked the doors to the carriage, lifting her gaze at Fei Lan, "You jump, or do I push you out?"

Fei Lan scoffed, unmoving. Had Bing Shi finally lost her mind? Maybe Bing Shi wanted to attempt falling off the carriage herself to play the White Lotus act? If Bing Shi did what she said, Bing Shi's reputation in Zhao Rong's eyes would be ruined in a matter of seconds. Her limbs were broken; how could she have enough strength to push someone else out of the carriage?

Even then, her enhanced body would survive the fall. Fei Lan doped Zhao Rong's body too, not as much as hers, but enough for him to hear their conversation inside. Bing Shi was just digging a pit for herself.

Fei Lan concluded that Bing Shi was getting impatient. Actually, her assumption wasn't that far from the truth.

Not waiting any longer, Bing Shi reached her hand toward Fei Lan to push her out. Expecting her move, Fei Lan opened the door so Zhao Rong could see the entire scene of Bing Shi trying to push her out.

Before Fei Lan could catch Bing Shi's wrist to take her down with her, Bing Shi, who had crushed a strength and speed pill a few seconds ago, evaded Fei Lan's grip. Using her fist, she delivered a powerful punch to Fei Lan's chest.

Fei Lan's ribs shattered upon impact. A ripping, popping sound, like the breaking of sticks, emanated from her chest. Her internal organs and bones seemed to want to push themselves out from the back of her body. Blood spilled out of her mouth as her body spiraled through the air before crashing onto the ground.

Thud

The carriage came to a sudden stop, and Zhao Rong abruptly halted, his gaze fixed on the motionless body on the ground. He roared Fei Lan's name, rushing to pick up her lifeless form, desperately trying to revive her.

They had spent so much time together; of course, he had developed feelings for her. Someone had just shattered his toy, and he didn't like it.

Taking a deep breath, Bing Shi descended from the carriage, her stomach churning with discomfort, fearful that Fei Lan might still be alive.

'Did she die?'

'She is mentally strong. She is not afraid of losses as long as she can use them against me.'

'She never takes the first step. Instead, she waits for me to dig a pit for myself.'

'How much deeper do I need to dig until she's satisfied?'

After obtaining HQ's permission, Bing Shi received a warning message regarding Zhao Rong's soul. She needed to devise ways to eliminate Fei Lan as quickly as possible without causing too much harm to Zhao Rong.

To do that, she had to understand his feelings for Fei Lan and determine if Fei Lan could be injured. Kuro could break her bones with the strength of a snake but nothing beyond that.

The only time Fei Lan would allow Bing Shi to harm her would be during a period when Fei Lan wanted to tarnish Bing Shi's image in front of the second male lead.

With Bing Shi's mediocre acting skills, she had no choice but to embrace her feelings such as hatred, fear, and jealousy. By making herself more readable, Fei Lan wouldn't be as warry of her.

She had a hard time exaggerating her feelings on the outside, but something unnoticed by most would be caught by the sensitive Fei Lan. It was enough to satisfy Fei Lan's low expectations of her.

Bing Shi was observant. She realized that if the individuals Fei Lan encountered during her world missions resembled Cheng Young's fiance, then Fei Lan's experience might not be particularly extensive.

On the other hand, if they were of a higher caliber, Bing Shi might not stand a chance regardless. There seemed to be no middle ground. Given that Xuan Mu was experiencing nightmares again, Bing Shi felt compelled to take a risk while Fei Lan's expectations of her remained relatively low.

Bing Shi pondered Fei Lan's motives, whether it was her descent into villainy or simply her form of entertainment. Regardless, Bing Shi couldn't wait until they reached the stage where they'd have to inflict each other's men to break down the other.

Bing Shi glanced at her broken knuckles. The bones beneath her skin protruded at odd angles, dislocated and shattered. The skin covering them had split open, revealing the raw, bloodied flesh beneath.

That's how much power she used on Fei Lan, just to ensure a kill. She didn't like to play cat and mouse; she found no joy in torture; she found no joy in other's suffering; she found no joy in other's death.

'Is this how villains are made?'

Zhao Rong's actions seemed to be futile; Fei Lan's soul already left the body.

Noticing his murderous glare, Bing Shi sighed in relief. The amount of hard rocks inside her guts lessened by a bit. She proceeded to walk towards him as Kuro continued to curl around her body.
