Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife

Inside one of the classrooms in an abandoned school in City Z, crips footfalls fell on the tiled floor. The echo rebounded against the walls of the fourth floor of the school and soon stopped when it reached the door.

The camera quickly followed the black heels that stopped in front of the door before slowly climbing up to show the female's beautiful figure and stopped at the back of the woman's head.

The long, dark hair was slightly wet and one didn't know whether it was from the rain or from something else.

From behind her, there was a raspy and hoarse sound of breathing and gasping.

Then, the woman heard a faint sound of voice coming inside the classroom.

"Help... Some...body, save me..."

The woman finally turned around, showing Ruan Jiaojiao's sweet face and charming smile. She looked down at the figure lying on the ground, heavily bleeding out and crawled towards her like a maggot.

Ruan Jiaojiao showed a concerned expression and asked, "What did you say? You need help?"

The person lying on the ground didn't seem to hear what she said and might have been too focused on the pain he was feeling thus he could only murmur the same line over and over again.

Ruan Jiaojiao stepped forward and stopped when there was an appropriate distance between them. Then, she raised her fair, white leg that wore the other pair of the heels and using the pointed part of the heel, she made the man raise his chin so he could look at her.

The man shuddered in fear and his eyes tried to look everywhere, not wanting to stare at the person who reduced him to such miserable and bloody state. He wondered why it had come to this point? Why was he targeted when he solely did everything to live honestly as a teacher.

At this point, there was a loud flurry of noises coming from the corridor. Two hushed voices coming from a male and female echoed and they opened several doors. The two seemed to be cautious enough to keep the sound to a minimum, but inside an abandoned school where no one should be there, the sound was extremely loud and they heard it.

The man seemed to find a glimpse of hope and tried to grab that string, he shouted weakly, "Help! I'm... here! Save me!"

Though the voice of the man wasn't too loud, Gao Yang and Yao Mu still heard it. They quickly rushed to the direction where the voice came from and kicked the door open.

They found the victim and a woman they were extremely familiar with.

"Ruan Jiaojiao!"

"Put your hands up!"

Gao Yang and Yao Mu shouted almost at the same time.

Ruan Jiaojiao wasn't even surprised at their sudden appearance. She merely glanced at them before her smile deepened and said, "Yang-ge... I'm not the one who you should point your gun at. This man did a lot of wrong things and still got to live a life without any worries."

Ruan Jiaojiao was a master of deception, twisting the truth to her own advantage.

Right now, she should be trying to convince the male lead to believe that the man lying on her feet, still bleeding out and having numerous cuts and bruises, was a sinner.

Yao Mu glanced at Gao Yang and saw him hesitate for a second. She frowned before firmly pointing the gun at the murderer that the government wanted to capture, Blood Ivy.

"Ruan Jiaojiao... No, Blood Ivy. You're under arrest for attempting murder of a professor and illegal detainment. You also commited several murders in the past several years. Get down on your knees and surrender now!"

Yao Mu didn't hesitate. She knew that the woman in front of her was one of the most wanted people in the country. Capturing her was tantamount of getting a high promotion and reward. But she didn't care about all that. She wanted Gao Yang to see the truth and wake up from this dream. Ruan Jiaojiao wasn't the pure and sweet colleague that was afraid of blood. She wasn't the same woman who he showed some interest in when he and Yao Mu broke up. And she has been lying to him.

Gao Yang seemed to realize this and his eyes flashed coldly, the slight reluctance and hesitation soon disappeared.

Ruan Jiaojiao laughed at the sight of that.

Humans are too fickle. One second, they could be your most trusted and gentle friend, and the next second, they could turn into your number enemy who will kill you.

But then again, she was also one of them. A human who was used to deceive people with her disguise while killing people without remorse.

"Yao Mu-jie... I will surrender... However, I will only do it when I'm done with him," she sweetly smiled at them as she added, "Will you please sit on that chair and wait for me?"

...

"Should we call out, Director?" the assistant director asked.

Director Sun shook his head, "Let them continue this scene until the end. Camera 1 and Camera 3 give Ran Xueyi a good closeup. Make sure to capture the smile on her lips and expression on her face."

This time, Director Sun was really floored by Ran Xueyi's performance. The way she looked was truly sinister and insidious. Even he, as the director of the movie, couldn't help but shiver when he watched her act in front of him. What more if the audience were to see this?

Since the director didn't call out to pause their acting, the four actors on the stage continued their acting. The staff members were held captive in their performance and goosebumps appeared on their arms when they saw Ran Xueyi continue playing her role.

...

Ruan Jiaojiao tilted her head when neither one of them replied.

She said, "You don't want to? That's okay, you can just stand there and wait for me to be done with him too."

Gao Yang moved forward and harshly said, "Ruan Jiaojiao, don't move! I'll pull the trigger if you even lay a finger on Professor Tang!"

Ruan Jiaojiao showed a rare expression of surprise, looking exactly like a child that was reprimanded.

With glassy eyes, Ruan Jiaojiao blinked her eyes before the smile disappeared on her lips. "Officer Gao, you look really bold and handsome, right now. However, shouldn't this line apply to Professor Tang as well?"

Gao Yang and Yao Mu refused to answer her question.

Ruan Jiaojiao laughed at their lack of response, "How double standard can you be? I can't lay a finger on this vile and evil man. But he can lay his fingers on his students and force them to have s*x with him? Why, tell me, is it because you didn't catch him in the act so he could be pardoned by spending several years in prison while you caught me so I am punishable with death?"

As soon as she was done speaking, the lights turned down and there was only darkness. The people inside the classroom panicked when they couldn't see in the dark.

The darkness that consumed their sights only took five seconds. But it was enough for a person to commit a sin.

And when the lights went alive, Gao Yang and Yao Mu saw the lifeless body of Professor Tang. His neck was cut open, the gurgling sound coming from his throat and mouth was terrifying.

'Thud'.

Professor Tang fell down, lifeless and his eyes dull.

Seeing that the target they needed to save was dead, Yao Mu panicked. She was scared shitless at the ruthlessness that Ruan Jiaojiao showed them and before she knew it, she opened fire despite Gao Yang shouting at her to not shoot.

Soon, several bullets pierced through the air and found their target.

Ruan Jiaojiao stumbled backwards a few times as the bullets hit her body.

There was shock in her expression, she probably couldn't believe that someone would be stupid enough to kill her, one of the most wanted criminal that the government wanted to capture. She was also surprised that Yao Mu, someone she once considered a colleague and friend, could really shoot her.

However, the shock and surprise was soon replaced by delight and feeling of achieving something.

Now, she can relax and no longer regret.

Ran Xueyi followed the impact of the shots and fell to the ground with a soft thud. She lay on the ground, looking at the moon that was shining outside of the window.

A single tear flowed down the corner of her eye.

This time, it was time to say goodbye to her role as Ruan Jiaojiao.
