The building, in an empty corridor.

Hearing the shout from behind, Kong ZhengHui turned his head blankly. He stared at Yu MingYuan with dazed eyes, a deep sense of fear rising within him, chilling him from head to toe. He took a step back involuntarily, his throat as if blocked, unable to speak for a moment.

Just then, a whistling sound suddenly reached his ears. Kong ZhengHui subconsciously turned his head and saw a huge fist.

"Bang!"

The fist struck his cheek heavily, distorting half of his face. His body also flew out, slamming hard against the wall behind him with a dull thud.

Kong ZhengHui's eyes saw stars, his cheeks throbbed with pain, his teeth rattled, and a thick, bloody smell filled his mouth.

Qiu Ge clenched his fist and, pointing at his neck, cursed, "I understand you selling out anyone, but selling out Tonghui, selling out Mingyuan, I really can't understand! Before he quit, he was still thinking of working with Tonghui to get you into the vice president's position. Did you feed your conscience to the dogs?!"

Kong ZhengHui wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, slowly raised his head, and stared at Qiu Ge with gloomy eyes.

"What are you looking at?!"

Qiu Ge raised his foot and kicked him hard.

"Bang!"

A door behind him was kicked open, and Kong ZhengHui fell into the room behind it.

Yu MingYuan walked in without a word. Qiu Ge followed behind and closed the broken wooden door.

The room was dimly lit, with only the three of them inside. Kong ZhengHui, with his hands cuffed, knelt there motionless, staring blankly at the ground.

Yu MingYuan looked at him, remained silent for a long time, and then said, "With your personality, you must think that my taking Liu Qi's path was to rescue Wen XiaoRou, to deliberately confuse you, and that the real purpose was to deal with Old Wang, right?"

Kong ZhengHui thought for a long time, then raised his head blankly and asked, "Isn't it?"

"Yes, and no." Yu MingYuan clenched his fists and said to him, word by word, "I also wanted to see if you could turn back. If you didn't come to arrest me that day, if you acted like nothing had happened, then I would believe that Tonghui's death was just an accident. I would also believe that you did this because you were forced to, for the sake of your family. I would find a hundred reasons to excuse you. No matter who you offended in Dragon City, I would risk my life to protect you!"

Kong ZhengHui lowered his head and remained silent.

Yu MingYuan's voice became more and more agitated, roaring with extreme anger, "It's just a pity that you had already made your choice. All of this proves that those years we spent together, the countless days and nights you and I spent together discussing plans, the days we struggled for the future, were all fake! You can harm me, but you shouldn't have harmed my wife, and you shouldn't have harmed Tonghui!"

Kong ZhengHui knelt there, trembling more and more violently.

At this point, Yu MingYuan's emotions had collapsed, and tears flowed uncontrollably. He roared in an almost desperate voice, "One is the person I care about the most, and the other is your best friend! Before Tonghui died, he was still worried about whether you could get out of Dragon City, do you know that?! Are you even human? I don't know why you ended up like this!"

Hearing this, Kong ZhengHui suddenly stood up, looked at him with red eyes, and retorted, "Why did I end up like this? Don't you know? You were the one who proposed the association split up!"

Yu MingYuan pointed at the ground and roared, "That was fake, you know that!"

Kong ZhengHui's forehead was full of veins, and he waved his cuffed hands, roaring back, "But after Ah Shui was killed, it became real! To support you, I offended everyone, but what did you do? After the association merged, you just patted your ass and became a hands-off boss. You left, what was I supposed to do? How was I supposed to face all the Su-affiliated factions in Dragon City? You knew my relationship with them. In the entire Dragon City, I couldn't move an inch, I was sitting on pins and needles. That's right, even so, I never thought about rebelling. But I wanted to leave, and they wouldn't let me, and they suspected I was a mole. What could I do? I also want to ask, why am I the one who ended up like this, why?!"

Hearing this, Yu MingYuan looked at him with disappointment and said in a hoarse voice, "You always have a reason, you're always the most wronged! I'll just ask you one thing. From the day you rebelled in Dragon City, you clearly had two paths to choose from, but you found countless reasons for yourself and finally chose District One. Why? Because you thought we would fail, Su TianYu would fail, and Dragon City would also fail. So, you wanted to choose a good way out for yourself. That's the real reason you betrayed us! Why don't you dare to admit it? That's right, I thought you were firmly on my side at first, but later I realized I was wrong. You followed me when the association was going to split up so you could control more power. You had resistance and were unwilling and didn't contribute when the association was merging, and you always used your father's illness as an excuse. Because you knew that once the merger happened, your power would be taken away again, and your interests would be violated. Because from the very beginning, you put yourself in a position to compete with Xiao Yu. You were jealous of him and couldn't stand him getting further and further ahead of you! From the very beginning, you were someone who only thought about yourself. You stood by my side only because I could maximize your benefits. But Tonghui and I were like idiots, treating you like our best friend!"

Hearing this, Kong ZhengHui roared hysterically, "It's not like that! It's not like that!!"

Yu MingYuan looked straight at him, his whole body icy cold, his lips trembling as he said, "Whether it is or not, you know best in your heart. You had two chances. The first time, you chose to betray us and kill Zhou Tonghui; the second time, you chose to kill me… From that moment on, ten years of brotherhood was bullshit! It wasn't worth a penny in your eyes, not even as much as your title of chairman of the WeiAn Association! Kong ZhengHui… today, I'm going to avenge my brother's death."

"Shua!"

Yu MingYuan drew a sharp dagger from his waist, clenched it tightly in his hand, and said to Kong ZhengHui, "On the road of life, everyone will face choices. And every choice will have a result."

The moment Kong ZhengHui saw him draw the knife, his eyes filled with despair, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

His whole body was completely emotionally broken, and he couldn't help but curl up into a ball, saliva flowing from his mouth and dripping on the ground, crying alone and silently, "I really didn't expect Tonghui to die… I swear to God, I didn't know it would be him who was caught, I thought it was Su Tianbei… anyone would have been fine, anyone…"

Yu MingYuan held the knife, his eyes staring straight at him, the tip of the knife trembling slightly.

Kong ZhengHui seemed to have exhausted all his strength and said sadly, "You want to kill me, I accept it… Mingyuan, don't touch my family…"

Hearing this, tears fell from Yu MingYuan's eyes. He grabbed Kong ZhengHui's hair, and with a *poof*, the sharp dagger pierced through his neck.

"Glug…"

Kong ZhengHui's mouth and neck kept spraying blood. He knelt on the ground, constantly twitching, and sobbed in an extremely hoarse voice, "Tired… so tired…"

After a while, he gradually quieted down, dying alone in this Dragon City that he had never been able to leave.

Just as Yu MingYuan said, in life, one has to face countless choices, and each one will give you completely different results. Perhaps, if Kong ZhengHui had been more conservative and hadn't chosen to get on Yu Family's ship, then his ambition and desire wouldn't have expanded with it, and his current identity… should have just been an observer of history, perhaps still living a relatively affluent life.

Unfortunately, there are no "ifs" in life. If there really was something predetermined by God, then perhaps… when the Dragon City five-person team had just debuted and encountered the sanitation worker being hacked, Da Bai and Kong ZhengHui's completely different choices had already foreshadowed a certain outcome.

…

Inside the building, Yuan Biao stood by the window, watching the dense enemy soldiers approaching. He immediately picked up his automatic rifle and fired a burst at them.

"Da da da!"

Amidst the intense gunfire, Yuan Biao turned his head and shouted to a black brother in combat uniform next to him, "Shout at them."

The black brother nodded, picked up a loudspeaker, and shouted outside, "Brave soldiers of District One, I regret to inform you that your Foreign Minister is in my hands. I don't like the distance you are at right now, please move back further, otherwise I will heavily violate your Foreign Minister before I die."
