Back at Huo Han's apartment, I was still pondering Xiao Yuanshan's profound words.
"Speak," I said, looking at Huo Han. "What are you hiding from me?"
He remained silent for a long time before finally speaking. "I’m an undercover agent for the police."
I was taken aback.
"Five years ago, the police discovered that Xiao Yuanshan had an arms trafficking line in Southeast Asia. They needed someone skilled to infiltrate, and I became that person."
"So you…"
"Yes, I was forced to leave." He smiled bitterly. "But I never expected they wouldn't spare the Lin family either."
Suddenly, it dawned on me. "So that's why you were at the underground fighting arena?"
"Yes. All these years, I've been gathering evidence." He looked at me. "But I never anticipated running into you there."
"That night…"
"I was planning to make my move the next day." He took my hand. "But then I saw you being pushed into the Arena."
I pulled my hand back. "So you're a cop, and my father lost everything because of your operation?"
"I'm sorry," his voice was hoarse. "I owe you too much."
"You knew all along that Xiao Yuanshan was targeting my family. Why didn't you warn us?"
"I couldn't expose my identity." He said painfully, "If I did, three years of undercover work would have been for nothing."
I scoffed. "So my father's suffering was justified?"
"Mu Xue…"
"Don't touch me!" I pushed him away. "Do you have any idea how I've lived these past five years? My dad in and out of the hospital, barely hanging on. My mom couldn't take it and remarried with my brother in tow. And you? Playing your hero undercover!"
He suddenly pulled me into his arms. "I'm sorry… I'm so sorry…"
I struggled against him. "Let go of me!"
"Not a chance." He tightened his grip. "This time, I won't let go."
"You have no right to…" My voice trembled.
"I will give everything back to you." He kissed the top of my head, "Xiao Yuanshan, the underground fighting arena, everyone who has harmed you will pay the price."
I finally couldn't hold back my tears.
At that moment, I wished he were just the boy who taught me martial arts, and not some damned undercover agent.
At three in the morning, my phone suddenly rang.
" sister Hong is dead." Huo Han's voice was cold, "He hanged himself in the hospital bathroom."
I sat up abruptly, "What?"
"Xiao Yuanshan's people got to him." He gritted his teeth, "My men were lured away."
I clenched the blanket tightly, "What do we do now?"
"The plan remains unchanged." He said, "Tonight, I will hold a match at the underground fighting arena."
"Are you crazy? Xiao Yuanshan will definitely…"
"That's exactly why we need him there." Huo Han interrupted me, "This is our last chance."
After hanging up, I found it hard to sleep.
The next evening, the underground fighting arena was bustling with noise.
"Have you heard? Master Huo is going to fight personally."
"Who’s his opponent?"
"It seems to be a newcomer called 'The Devil.'"
I stood in the VIP box, watching the lively scene below. According to plan, I was supposed to…
"Miss Lin, what a coincidence." Xiao Yuanshan appeared behind me without my noticing.
I turned around, suppressing the fear deep inside me, " manager Xiao."
"It's so boring to watch a match alone." He smiled warmly, "Why don't I keep you company?"
I saw him holding two glasses of wine.
"Thank you." I took the glass but didn't drink.
"What's wrong? Afraid I'll poison you?" He chuckled lightly.
A shiver ran through me.
"Don't worry, I'm not interested in you." His gaze was cold. "I'm just curious why Huo Han cares so much about you."
"We are..."
"Old lovers?" He interrupted. "Or do you know something?"
I forced myself to stay calm. "What do you mean by that, manager Xiao?"
"Miss Lin, let me give you a piece of advice." He leaned closer. "Some things are better left buried deep inside."
"And if not?"
"And if not..." He gestured towards the Arena. "Do you think Huo Han will walk out of here alive tonight?"
My hands trembled.
At that moment, the announcement blared: "The match is about to begin..."
Xiao Yuanshan raised his glass. "To Master Huo's final match, cheers."
