The driver quietly approached the last place where Bai Yujing had disappeared, carefully making his way through the snow, while keeping his ears and eyes alert to the surroundings, raising his awareness to the highest level.
Finally, at the last moment, the driver suddenly jumped from the snow and pounced into a snow pit in front of him, pinning down a person inside. However, in that instant of landing, he felt a chill in his heart because there was no one there; only two skis and a backpack lay below. At that moment, he suddenly felt a chill at the back of his head as a gloved hand covered his mouth.
"Bang!"
Bai Yujing released the wide-eyed young man in front of him, checked his bullets, and kept his eyes on the surroundings, always ready for the next move.
At this time, Liu Hai could no longer endure it; the solitude and darkness left him only with the sound of gunfire. He could never know where that shadow was lurking or whether he would be the next to die.
Liu Hai immediately got up and ran in another direction. He was done playing with these people; he didn't care about the money anymore, and prison didn't matter either. Liu Hai just wanted to leave this cursed place; nothing else mattered.
Just as Liu Hai stood up and had barely taken two steps, he heard a gunshot. Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through his right leg as he fell to the ground in a tumble.
"Ah! My leg! My leg!" Liu Hai cried out in pain, tears streaming down his face as he lay on the ground.
When Bai Yujing focused on Liu Hai, Catherine also stood up instantly. The moment she heard the first gunshot, she knew that the driver was finished; Liu Hai was utterly unreliable. She was now left all alone.
With just herself, figuring out how to return was already a huge challenge, let alone completing any mission. Catherine immediately ran to the edge of the ice crevice and took out Center from her pocket. In the darkness, that small light was extremely conspicuous. Bai Yujing aimed his gun at Catherine but then lowered it almost immediately.
"Bai Yujing, I admit it; I've lost. I underestimated you and the difficulty of this mission!" Catherine spoke without her previous charm and frivolity, appearing very serious.
Not hearing a response from Bai Yujing, Catherine paused for a moment before continuing: "Now you have two choices: first, shoot me dead, and I will take Center down into the ice crevice with me. Second, I will hand over Center to you; I will give up this mission if you let me leave!"
"I believe you are a gentleman, and killing a beautiful and innocent lady is something I don't think you would do, right? Mr. Bai!"
Bai Yujing suddenly burst into laughter. At that moment, Bai Yujing no longer hid and stepped out from the snow, aiming the gun at Catherine. "Innocent?"
"Liu Xinwu, Hu Ying, they were both my good friends, yet they died at your hands. The female spy who appeared in Florida was you, wasn't it? You started targeting Hu Ying back in our country, keeping an eye on us since then. Now you say you want to give up and still claim innocence. Do you think that makes sense?" Bai Yujing said angrily.
Catherine chuckled softly, "That has nothing to do with me. I'm just a spy who gathers intelligence; I've never killed anyone. That's my principle. Mr. Hu committed suicide because he felt guilty towards his team and his country. As for the other person, I believe you know well that it was your good teammate who killed him, which has nothing to do with me!"
"And Mr. Bai, I think I'm at least better than you. You've killed quite a few people, haven't you? My two former colleagues, your current teammates, and in Neon, you've also taken many lives. Have you thought about their wives and families? Can you sleep well at night?"
"Paul, twenty-five years old, unmarried, the third child in the family with two older sisters, an elderly mother, and a deceased father!"
"John, thirty-seven years old, has two children, one boy and one girl. The boy is thirteen and the girl is eight. I've seen that girl; they are such lovely children—innocent and romantic, full of..."
Catherine continued to recite her subordinates' profiles in a very calm tone when Bai Yujing suddenly rushed out of the darkness: "Stop talking!"
"The driver’s real name is Ross; he used to be a boxer. His father is seriously ill and he has been supporting the exorbitant medical expenses with his salary. This time it was also because..."
"I told you to stop talking!" Bai Yujing pressed the gun against Catherine's head, trembling slightly. He had to admit that Catherine had hit his weak spot. At first, Bai Yujing only wanted to fulfill Hu Ying's last wish for revenge against Liu Xinwu, but now it seemed he had taken on a mission he shouldn't have accepted. Bai Yujing felt some regret; this went against his original intention. It seemed he had become somewhat crazy in this icy wilderness, with anger suppressing his rationality.
"I'm just avenging Liu Xinwu!” Bai Yujing could no longer hold back and suddenly wanted to say something!
Catherine immediately laughed: "But it wasn't us who killed Liu Xinwu!”
"If it weren't for you, he wouldn't have died! Besides, aren't you all CIA agents? What reason do we need for our struggle? We are already enemies. If I don't kill you, you will kill me, just like your two colleagues before, the ones codenamed Old Wang and Kate. Didn't they want to blow me up?" Bai Yujing shouted at Catherine.
Catherine still wore a smile, her hands raised high, one holding Center, standing at the edge of the ice cliff. At that moment, the moon rose from the horizon, a massive moon that seemed to cover a large part of the sky. Such a large silver moon could only be appreciated in Antarctica.
Standing at the edge of the cliff, Catherine appeared as if she might fall backward, yet her face showed no sign of concern: "If you think you can convince yourself, then go ahead and shoot!"
Bai Yujing held the gun, staring intently into Catherine's eyes. Catherine seemed resigned, her eyes calm, her beautiful large eyes devoid of any emotion. Just as Catherine was about to fall into the abyss, Bai Yujing grabbed her collar and pulled her back. Bai Yujing felt somewhat defeated: "You win!"
Bai Yujing took the gun and seized Center from Catherine, walking away into the distance. At that moment, Catherine exhaled deeply; this Bai Yujing was incredibly formidable—powerful fighting skills, strong physique, precise marksmanship—able to maintain accuracy even in such darkness. He was undoubtedly the toughest opponent she had ever encountered.
Seeing Bai Yujing leave, Catherine sat down on the ground feeling somewhat drained. In their earlier exchange, she had employed some psychology tactics, but whether they worked on someone like Bai Yujing was uncertain; for now, it seemed she had been lucky.
"This mission is not something a person can handle. After I go back, I'm quitting; anything would be better than this!" Catherine sighed deeply.
Bai Yujing walked toward another direction, picking up his snowboard and backpack along the way. When he passed by Liu Hai, who was struggling with a limp, Liu Hai immediately shouted loudly upon seeing him: "White Collar Team, help me! Help me! I—I don't want to die!"
Bai Yujing paid him no mind. With one leg incapacitated, there was no chance for Liu Hai to survive here; gradually freezing to death in this icy wilderness was his only fate. Feeling somewhat dejected, Bai Yujing had no intention of acknowledging him and kicked away Liu Hai's hand that clung to him as he walked away.
"Help me! Help~ You bunch of lunatics! You will all go to hell!"
"You will all go to hell! Boohoo~"
