20. Battle

 　　Yuqin said, "Rosie isn't bad, is she?" "Not bad? How many people's blood is on her hands? Even if you don't know, that fact doesn't change!" Ying Moxiao shouted at Yuqin. "What's the use of yelling at her? She doesn't know, and the other two don't know either." Shen Yeran pulled Ying Moxiao to sit down. "I'm sorry, I got too emotional. You don't understand, this isn't your fault." Ying Moxiao had been filled with anger, but realizing this, she immediately apologized to Yuqin. "It's okay, I was also wrong. I don't know anything about people I've only met a few times. I shouldn't have talked nonsense." "It's okay," Shen Yeran said. "Anyway, leave this to me and Ying." "But..." Before Yuqin could finish speaking, Shen Yeran pulled Ying Moxiao away. "There's no other way, let's do it ourselves, the three of us." Yuqin said confidently. "Okay." x2, Gu Qingying said, "I'm actually a rich young lady, my family is very powerful, let's use my family's navigation or something." Yuqin suddenly realized, "So you're the third daughter of the Gu family." "Yes." "Then let's do it." "Okay."

　　Ying Moxiao said, "Let's go check on things at the club first." "Ying, I know how you feel, but make sure you're well-rested. Let's go tomorrow." "Okay." Back in the dormitory, Ye Ran quickly fell asleep. Ying Moxiao lay on the bed, tossing and turning. The cool, silvery moonlight shone on the floor, seemingly foreshadowing something. Ying Moxiao got up and went to the garden behind the academy. The roses under the moonlight were so dazzling, adding a touch of mystery to the rose garden. Sitting in the pavilion, Ying Moxiao looked at the beautiful scenery around him, but these scenes were completely colorless in his eyes. After a long time, Ying Moxiao felt a little sleepy and fell asleep. In his dream, he returned to his childhood, to the wonderful times he spent playing with Ye Ran and Wange. In the early morning, the rose garden was shrouded in mist. The dew on the roses shone even more brightly under the dappled sunlight filtering through the leaves. The rising sun shone into the pavilion and onto Ying Moxiao's face. Ying Moxiao opened his eyes and saw himself sleeping in the pavilion. He rushed out, ran back to his dormitory, opened the door, and saw that Ye Ran was already prepared. "Where have you been? Hurry up and pack!" Ye Ran's tone was a little angry. "Okay, coming right away." The two finished packing and set off, arriving at a towering glass building. They went up to the top floor, where the "Gang" (Wange, Ye Ran, and Mo Xiao are the three most powerful people in the underworld. They established a gang called "Gang." The top leader is Hong Wange, the second leader is Ying Mo Xiao, and the third leader is Shen Ye Ran. However, the most powerful of the three is Shen Ye Ran, because Ye Ran thinks being the leader is too troublesome and reluctantly accepted the position of third leader. But in fact, the most powerful person in the underworld is Rosie) opened the door, and everyone sat together. "What happened? Did that woman take Wange away?" Ying Mo Xiao frowned and clenched her fists. "Greetings, Second Leader and Third Leader." "Get up first, and tell us the whole story." Shen Ye Ran said calmly. After recounting the events, Shen Yeran pieced together the following information: First, when Rosie entered, everyone was awake. Rosie waved her hand, and everyone fainted. Everyone tried to stay conscious; although they couldn't open their eyes, they could hear. At that moment, Wange also woke up. "You came here to find me, didn't you? I didn't expect you to still come in the end," Hong Wange said, her tone calm but more so impolite. "Not welcome? Well, because tonight you will…" Rosie's laughter was mysterious, cold, and laced with hidden malice. "I won't let you succeed." Hong Wange stood up. The moonlight seemed to have turned red, and the wind picked up, stealing the warmth of the night travelers. The red moonlight poured in, like a pool of blood, and death seemed to have appeared, waiting to reap the next soul. The two fought for a long time, with Hong Wange clearly at a disadvantage. She was covered in blood, panting heavily, while Rosie didn't break a sweat and breathed evenly. "She's steady, not injured." "If you don't want them to die, come with me," Hong Wange thought. There was no other way; she'd just have to take it one step at a time. "Okay." Hong Wange followed Rosie. Shen Yeran said, "Everyone, go back to the inner hall. Leave the rest to us." "But..." "That's an order." Everyone could only obey. Shen Yeran pulled Ying Moxiao to the rooftop. "Wange, what do we do?" Ying Moxiao sighed. "Don't give up so soon. This isn't the Ying I know." "But..." "There's no time. Don't think about anything else. Let's begin." Ying Moxiao decided to take a gamble. The two began searching for Hong Wange's location. Because all three were wearing watches, the three watches could display the location of the other two. They found them on the second floor of the gray building opposite. "Quick, go save Wange!" Ying Moxiao was very excited. "No, we can't act rashly." "But if we're any later, Wange will..." "She doesn't want to see you risk your life for her. Calm down. Wange has held on for so long, she'll be alright."
　　(Scene change)
　　In that dark room, only a small light bulb emitted a faint, scattered glow. A girl, covered in blood, leaned against a chair, her head tilted to one side. The rotting wounds emitted a foul stench, flies and mosquitoes swarmed, and hot iron sizzled. Blood dripped from some torture instruments, and the stench of blood filled the air.
　　(Scene change)
　　On the other side, Lin Yuqin and the others were also searching for Wange, using the Gu family's tracking device. "Are you sure this will work?" Yuyao asked. "Yes, we put a tracking device on Sister Ge, we'll definitely find her." After a long while, Gu Qingying said happily, "Look, here it is." "Yes, the rest is the rescue plan," Yuqin said thoughtfully.
　　(Scene change)
　　Meanwhile, Ying Moxiao and Shen Yeran were still on the roof. "No, if this continues, Wange will die. The more time we waste, the greater the chance of her dying." Ying Moxiao couldn't wait any longer. "No, going is suicide!" Ying Moxiao wouldn't listen to anything else and pulled Shen Yeran towards the gray building across the street. Suddenly, the door was kicked open with a loud bang, and the stench of blood and decay hit them. Ying Moxiao rushed inside, but Shen Yeran grabbed him, saying, "No, it's too dangerous." Having not breathed fresh air for a long time, Hong Wange finally breathed in some fresh air. Her eyelashes fluttered, her fingers twitched, and she opened her eyes to the bright sunlight outside. Because she had been unconscious for so long, her vision was blurry. When she finally focused, she was quite surprised. Wange's first reaction was to tell them to leave quickly, but because she had been unconscious for so long and hadn't drunk a drop of water since being taken away, her throat was dry and hoarse. Moreover, if she made a sound, that woman would come. So Hong Wange mouthed, "Leave quickly, or else..." Before Wange could finish... Just then, Rosie appeared. "Oh, you've walked right into my trap," Rosie said with a wicked smile. Hong Wange, dragging her battered body, tried to grab Rosie to stop her from going any further. Rosie kicked Hong Wange, who had just regained consciousness, and she fainted again. Rosie dusted off her clothes in disgust. Shen Yeran tried to pull Ying Moxiao away, but Ying Moxiao was now impossible to persuade. In the end, the two of them, like Hong Wange, were locked in the room. "I'm sorry, it's all my fault for dragging you into this. I should..." Ying Moxiao said remorsefully. "It's alright, what's done is done. We just have to find a way to escape," Shen Yeran comforted Ying Moxiao. Rosie, carrying a hot iron block, walked towards the two of them. "Wait!" Lin Yuqin called out. When the three of them learned that Ying Moxiao and Shen Yeran had also been captured, they rushed over. "Oh, the other three little lambs have arrived too!" "Welcome," Rosie sneered, walking towards Lin Yuqin. "What are you doing here? Get out of here!" Shen Yeran shouted. "I won't abandon my partner!" Lin Yuqin's eyes burned with fire. Shen Yeran knew that once Lin Yuqin made up her mind, she was even more unyielding than Ying Moxiao when she was stubborn. Lin Yuqin said to Shen Yeran with full force, "I'll show you what a miracle is." "She won't win with a miracle," Shen Yeran said. The tension in the air grew stronger and stronger, finally exploding. Lin Yuqin VS Rosie. Lin Yuqin was a master of disguise; in fact, she was the true mastermind behind the underworld. After a fierce battle, Yuqin finally won, but she didn't kill Rosie. However, both Shen Yeran and Ying Moxiao wanted Yuqin to kill Rosie. Although Yuqin was powerful, she never killed indiscriminately, and she believed that Rosie was essentially kind.
