Reborn Troops

Chapter 8: Used to disappointment

The hotel room was filled with a strong smell of alcohol, and the dim light illuminated Zhou Wanwan and Gu Ming sitting at the table opposite each other. Zhou Wanwan's eyes revealed an indescribable indifference, while Gu Ming had a hint of hesitation and fear.

After a moment of silence, Zhou Wanwan suddenly pulled out a sharp knife from her sleeve and placed it on the table. She looked at Gu Ming coldly and asked, "Gu Ming, let's play a game. Do you know why I asked you to come here?"

Gu Ming was panicked and answered in a trembling voice: "I... I don't know."

Zhou Wanwan smiled contemptuously and continued, "I found that you betrayed me and the promise we made to each other. In this case, let's end it together! This knife is the way to your own death."

Gu Ming's face turned pale. He tried to explain: "Wan Wan, I didn't betray you. Someone deliberately framed me. I can explain it."

Zhou Wanwan sneered and said in disbelief: "Explanation? Do you think I will believe your excuse? The love between us has been betrayed. Only death can bring us back to harmony."

Gu Ming was filled with despair and regret. He knew that Zhou Wanwan had fallen into a state of madness and could not be saved. He decided to give it a try and try to change Zhou Wanwan's decision.

He stood up gently and walked towards Zhou Wanwan carefully, trying to get closer to her. He said, "Wanwan, calm down. We can find the past and face the world together."

Zhou Wanwan's eyes flashed with confusion, but soon she regained her resolute expression. She clutched the knife in her hand and hissed, "Gu Ming, you have no choice. Either we die together, or I leave this world alone."

Gu Ming felt that he was in a desperate situation. He knew that if he continued like this, Zhou Wanwan would be beyond redemption. He decided to take a risk and look for the last chance.

He suddenly stretched out his hands and tried to snatch the knife from Zhou Wanwan. The two of them wrestled in the room, and the furniture around them was overturned, with the sound of breaking constantly heard.

Finally, Gu Ming succeeded in taking the knife away. He quickly stepped back and stared at Zhou Wanwan vigilantly. Zhou Wanwan stood there in a daze, her eyes lost focus, and seemed to be in extreme confusion.

Gu Ming approached Zhou Wanwan cautiously and said softly, "Wanwan, this is not the way we should choose."

Zhou Wanwan slowly raised her head, tears blurring her eyes. She was caught in an inner struggle, and finally fell powerlessly into Gu Ming's arms.

Gu Ming clenched the knife in his hand, and the cold blade flickered strangely in the moonlight. He glared at Zhou Wanwan in front of him, his heart filled with anger and desire for revenge. For many years, he had been humiliated and bullied by Zhou Wanwan, and now he could finally regain his dignity.

However, just as Gu Ming was about to assault Zhou Wanwan, his cell phone suddenly rang. Gu Ming frowned. He didn't like being disturbed, and he didn't want to miss the opportunity for revenge. However, the ringing of the phone was so persistent that he couldn't ignore it.

He hesitated for a moment, but finally answered the phone. A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone: "Gu Ming, there is an important matter that needs you to come over to discuss."

"I don't have time now!" Gu Ming's tone was full of anger, "I'm dealing with something very important."

"This matter is also very important, and it is closely related to you." The other party's voice was still calm, "However, if you really don't have time now, I can wait for a while."

Gu Ming's heart moved. He knew he couldn't act impulsively, especially at this critical moment. He took a deep breath, put away the knife in his hand, and tried to calm his excitement. "Okay, I'll go over there."

There was a chuckle from the other end of the line, and then the call was hung up. Gu Ming put the phone in his pocket, hesitated for a moment, glanced at Zhou Wanwan, and finally left the room.

Gu Ming came to a bar, the place he had agreed to meet with the other party. The bar was filled with the strong smell of tobacco and alcohol, and the scene was very noisy.

He found the other person in the corner, a man in a black suit. The man smiled and motioned for Gu Ming to sit down. After Gu Ming sat down, he asked directly, "What do you want to see me for?"

The man narrowed his eyes, looked at Gu Ming, and said slowly: "Gu Ming, you have been looking for an opportunity for revenge, and your anger towards Zhou Wanwan has reached its limit."

Gu Ming stared at the man closely. He felt that he knew a lot of things that he didn't know, and he was full of vigilance. "Who are you? Why do you know this?"

The man smiled and shook his head. "I am not important. What is important is that there is a task that you need to complete."

"Mission?" Gu Ming frowned. "I just want to deal with Zhou Wanwan now. Why are you looking for me?"

The man raised his palm to signal Gu Ming to be quiet, "This mission is related to your revenge. If you complete it, you may get some answers."

Zhou Wanwan sat in the room, holding a glass of wine, her heart filled with despair. She was determined to die with Gu Ming, but Gu Ming never came back. She felt very lost, and she needed to find a way to fill the emptiness in her heart.

At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Gu Ming walked in. There was a hint of surprise on his face, and when he saw the wine glass in Zhou Wanwan's hand, he immediately understood her intention.

"Zhou Wanwan! Are you crazy?" Gu Ming shouted loudly.

"I have made up my mind. We can't go on like this. If we can't be together, then we can only leave this world together." Zhou Wanwan said coldly.

Gu Ming approached Zhou Wanwan and tried to snatch the wine glass from her hand. His eyes were full of anxiety and uneasiness.

"Have you thought about our family? Have you thought about our future?" Gu Ming's voice trembled.

"I've thought about it. We have no future. This world has become meaningless to us." Zhou Wanwan's voice was full of determination.

Their conversation echoed in the room, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense. Zhou Wanwan's eyes never left Gu Ming, and she hoped that he could understand her decision.

Gu Ming desperately thought about how to persuade Zhou Wanwan to give up this crazy idea. He knew he had to find a way to rekindle her hope of life.

"Zhou Wanwan, we can try to change, we can find other ways out. Don't give up, we still have a lot to do, and there are many beautiful things waiting for us to discover." Gu Ming's voice was full of hope.

"Do you think change is that easy? We have tried it before, but nothing has changed." There was a hint of helplessness in Zhou Wanwan's tone.

Their conversation seemed like a battle of hearts, with Zhou Wanwan and Gu Ming trying to convince each other to accept their own views...

Gu Ming hurried into the parking lot, thinking that he had something in his car, so he decided to go to the car to get it. However, he did not expect what happened next.

As soon as he stepped into the parking lot, Gu Ming felt that the atmosphere around him was extremely tense, as if there was a repressive atmosphere in the air. He subconsciously quickened his pace, trying to leave this uneasy place as soon as possible. However, at this moment, a group of people in black suddenly surrounded him from all directions.

Gu Ming was so frightened that he was stunned, not knowing what was going on. One of the men in black walked straight towards him and sneered, "Gu Ming, do you think you can escape?"

Gu Ming looked at the man in astonishment. He didn't recognize the man in black at all, and a sense of fear surged in his heart. He tried to explain: "You got the wrong person. I don't know you."

The man in black ignored his explanation and slapped him hard several times. Gu Ming was dizzy and his vision was blurry. He could only hear the mocking voice of the man in black.

"You still dare to deny it? Do you think we can't find you? We have already seen through your little tricks." The man in black said with a sneer.

Gu Ming tried hard to get rid of the dizziness and barely supported his body. He wanted to resist, but was tightly controlled by the other men in black and could not move.

The man in black continued: "Do you know what you owe us? What you did has cost us a huge price."

Gu Ming shook his head blankly, not understanding what the man in black was talking about. He tried to find a chance to escape, but the men in black around him stared at him vigilantly, preventing him from taking any action.

The man in black smiled coldly, and suddenly took out a document and handed it to Gu Ming. Gu Ming took the document, and felt even more confused and at a loss.

"This is evidence that you are engaging in illegal transactions. Do you think we don't know?" The man in black looked at Gu Ming mockingly. "Now, you have to pay the price for what you have done."

Gu Ming looked at the documents in astonishment. He couldn't believe his eyes. These documents were indeed his, but he didn't know how they fell into the hands of the man in black. He began to understand that all this was not a coincidence, but a carefully planned trap.

The man in black looked at Gu Ming's expression and laughed triumphantly. "Didn't expect that? Did you think you could get away with it? Now, you only have two choices, either comply with our request or pay with your life."

Gu Ming's heart was shaken, he knew he was in a desperate situation. He thought about how to get out of the predicament and break free from the control of the man in black. He calmed down and stared at the man in black with sharp eyes.

"Tell me, who are you? Why do you want to deal with me?" Gu Ming asked firmly.

The black-clothed man's smile faded, and his eyes turned gloomy. "You don't need to know too much right now. Just do as we ask, and maybe you can save your life."

Gu Ming sneered, "I will not succumb to your threats. No matter who you are, I will not surrender easily."

The man in black's face darkened, and he gave a hint to the other men in black. The others immediately pinned Gu Ming to the ground and increased their control.

The man in black looked at Gu Ming coldly, with a sinister smile on his face. "Well, since you don't know what's best for you, I'll teach you a lesson."

Gu Ming was beaten to a pulp, but the strong will in his heart did not disappear...

Gu Ming was beaten dizzy by the man in black, but he tried to stay awake. He knew that only by staying calm could he find a way to deal with it.

The man in black looked at Gu Ming lying on the ground, smiled sinisterly and said, "You are such a stubborn guy. Since you don't know what's best for you, I'll teach you a lesson."

Gu Ming gritted his teeth and held back the pain, his eyes revealing a firm will. He knew that in this desperate situation, there was only hope if he tried his best.

The man in black signaled the others to stop, and he approached Gu Ming and looked down at him. His eyes were full of threats and provocations.

"What qualifications do you think you have to resist us? Don't forget that you are our prisoner now." The man in black said coldly.

Gu Ming gritted his teeth and replied without showing any weakness: "I will not succumb to your threats. No matter who you are, I will not surrender easily."

The man in black snorted coldly, suddenly raised his foot, and kicked Gu Ming hard in the chest. Gu Ming felt a sharp pain instantly, and his breathing became difficult.

The man in black looked at Gu Ming's painful expression and smiled with satisfaction. "You are still too stupid to think that one person's resistance can change anything?"

Gu Ming gritted his teeth, endured the pain, but did not answer. He knew that these men in black would not listen to his explanation, and only through action could he change the status quo.

The man in black looked at Gu Ming's resolute expression, and a hint of vigilance flashed in his eyes. He signaled the other men in black to continue to control Gu Ming, and he walked towards the wall of the parking lot.

Gu Ming watched the actions of the men in black, and a guess came to his mind. He understood that the men in black were not seeking revenge for his actions, but for a greater purpose.

The man in black took out a key and inserted it into a secret compartment on the wall. The wall slowly moved away, revealing the entrance to a secret passage.

"It seems that you are quite smart." The man in black smiled, "Since you insist on resisting, let me show you our methods."

The man in black signaled the others to lead Gu Ming into the secret passage, and he walked in at the end. The secret passage was filled with a cold atmosphere, and Gu Ming felt that every nerve in his body was in a tense state.

At the end of the secret passage was a seemingly abandoned underground warehouse. The man in black stopped, turned around, and stared at Gu Ming with a gloomy look.

"Now, you must obey our orders. Otherwise, you will pay a more painful price." The man in black threatened.

Gu Ming looked at the man in black calmly, but his heart was full of unyielding fighting spirit. He knew that only by persisting to the end could he find clues and get rid of the control of the man in black.

Gu Ming was taken into the underground warehouse by the men in black, and he was filled with anxiety and tension. He knew that this might be the base for the men in black's secret activities, and his becoming their captive was just the beginning.

The man in black pushed Gu Ming into a corner and ordered the others, "Tie him up, don't let him down."

Gu Ming was tied to a chair and couldn't move. He looked at the busy figures of the men in black, but his heart was not afraid at all, but full of determination and courage.

The man in black walked up to Gu Ming, with a sneer on his face: "Have you still not realized the cruelty of reality? Do you think one person's resistance can change anything?"

Gu Ming calmly replied: "I am not naive enough to think that one person can change everything, but I believe that one person's persistence can inspire the courage and strength of more people. I will never give in to you."

The man in black was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Gu Ming to be so determined. The sneer on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a hint of vigilance.

"Do you think you still have a chance to escape? Stop resisting in vain." The man in black said sarcastically.

Gu Ming smiled slightly and stared at the man in black with a firm gaze: "I know you didn't capture me to avenge me. There must be a bigger conspiracy behind this."

The man in black's eyes flashed with surprise, and then he regained his composure: "You are smarter."

The man in black turned and left, and returned a moment later with a black box. He opened the box and found a small ball that looked ordinary.

"What is this?" Gu Ming asked curiously.

The man in black had a sinister smile on his face. "This is a poison gas bomb. Once it is released, everyone in the warehouse will be attacked by the poison gas."

Gu Ming's face changed slightly. He knew that he had to find a way as soon as possible to stop the conspiracy of the man in black.

The man in black looked at Gu Ming's expression and smiled smugly: "Now, you just need to obey our orders, otherwise you will bear the consequences yourself."

Gu Ming calmly thought about the countermeasures. He knew that now was the time to launch a counterattack...
