Rebirth: What to do if you fall into a wolf's den

Under the cover of night, Lu Nanxu and the other two carried Ji Yan and the baby in her arms and hurriedly left the cottage shrouded in haze.

The moment the door closed heavily, all the noise and despair seemed to be isolated in that dark space.

Inside the house, there was dead silence. Only Lu Yi and He Fei were standing opposite each other, and there was a shocking scene on the ground - Su Su, a once glorious woman, was now lying quietly in a pool of blood, with the breath of life already dissipated.

Lu Yi's eyes were cold. He looked at He Fei with unquestionable majesty in his tone.

"Now that your young lady is dead, you should wake up and surrender. If you are willing to cooperate, perhaps the law will show leniency to you and give you a chance to start over."

Hearing this, He Fei curled up the corners of his mouth into a bitter smile, which was mixed with too many complicated emotions.

"Chance?"

He repeated these two words, with a hint of mockery in his eyes, "Opportunity? What does it mean to me now?"

As he spoke, he staggered forward, desperately crawled to Su Su's side, and held her in his arms with trembling hands.

He gently, almost devoutly, tidied Su Su's messy hair and wiped the blood off her face, as if he wanted to restore her purity and beauty when she was alive.

"My young lady has been so kind and lovely since she was a child. Why did Lu Nanxu treat her like this? The engagement between them was a promise witnessed by the elders of both families. On what basis can he destroy it? And that Ji Yan, how can she compare to my young lady?"

He Fei's words were filled with anger and unwillingness, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.

When Lu Yi heard He Fei mention Ji Yan, his brows frowned slightly, but he tried his best to remain calm and rational.

"Ms. Ji has her own merits and charms, which are not something we can judge casually. As for the young lady you mentioned, I admit that she may have some good qualities, but has she ever truly regarded you as a family member? In her eyes, you may just be one of her many pawns, a loyal but unappreciated dog."

Although Lu Yi's words were cold, every word pierced He Fei's heart.

He Fei was furious when he heard this. He suddenly raised his head and his eyes widened as if they were about to spit fire.

"What do you know?! You know nothing!"

He roared, his voice filled with endless sorrow and despair.

However, as his anger faded, his voice gradually became weaker and finally turned into a whisper.

His eyes began to blur, as if he had penetrated the barriers of reality and returned to the good times he had spent with Su Su.

"Miss, she...she used to smile at me so gently...she said she would protect me...but why...why did it turn out like this..."

He Fei's voice became smaller and smaller, and he was finally completely immersed in his own memories. He hugged Su Su's body tightly, as if this would allow her to return to his side, to the world without betrayal and harm.

Outside the house, the night wind was still blowing, taking away the last bit of sound and warmth in the cabin.

……

Deep in He Fei's memory, there is a scene that always flickers gently. That was the youthful time when he first entered the Su family and became a member of the secret guard.

At that time, he was just an ordinary member among many shadows, dealing with sweat, pain and endless challenges every day.

The training of the secret guards was extremely rigorous, and any slackness would result in ruthless punishment - the hunger of having no food to eat and the severe punishment from the leader were like two huge mountains pressing on his heart.

It was a stormy evening, the sky was as black as ink, and thunder roared. He Fei failed to complete the training goal of the day due to the limit of his physical strength and the difficulty of the task.

As he stood trembling in front of the leader, ready to accept the punishment he deserved, a ray of light suddenly shone into his dark world - Su Su, the little princess of the Su family, appeared before him like an angel from a fairy tale.

She was wearing a pure white princess dress, the hem of which swayed gently, as if carrying the breath of spring. She was holding a delicate doll tightly in her hands, and her clear eyes were shining with unquestionable determination and kindness.

At that moment, there seemed to be thousands of mountains and rivers between her and him, yet they were so close.

"Uncle, he has tried very hard, please don't punish him."

Su Su's voice was clear and pleasant, but it carried a force that could not be ignored. She bravely stood up and pleaded for He Fei. At that moment, He Fei's heart was deeply shaken.

The leader looked at his young lady, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

"Miss, he should be punished for not completing today's task."

But little Su Su didn't understand this and still begged, "Please, uncle, spare him!"

There was no way, the leader finally nodded slowly, tacitly agreeing to Su Su's request.

However, Su Su's kindness did not stop there. She knew the hardships of the secret guards' lives and was worried that He Fei would suffer the same injustice in the future.

So, she made an astonishing decision - she personally selected He Fei from a group of secret guards who had not yet completed training, to be her exclusive secret guard.

"From now on, you stay with me."

Su Su's words were simple and firm, but like warm sunshine, they instantly melted the frost in He Fei's heart. At that moment, he seemed to see hope for the future and felt an unprecedented sense of security.

From then on, He Fei's world changed dramatically. He no longer had to worry about being punished for failing to complete tasks, and no longer had to worry about food and clothing.

More importantly, he had someone to protect - Su Su, the angel who gave him warmth and hope when he was most helpless.

With Su Su by his side, He Fei not only learned more martial arts and skills, but also learned how to protect a person with all his heart. He was grateful for Su Su's kindness and was deeply moved by her kindness and innocence.

Deep in his heart, he silently made a vow: to stay with Su Su forever, to go through fire and water for her, and to protect her until the end of the world.

……

He Fei's thoughts were like a fast-forwarded movie, quickly and deeply passing through every moment since he met Su Su, as if it were happening again yesterday, clear and profound.

"Su Su..."

He Fei murmured to himself. This name seemed to have endless magic, filling his heart with warmth and strength.

This was the first time he called out Su Su's name, and also the last time.

But then, the cruel reality pulled him back, and he looked at Lu Yi who was standing not far away, the figure that represented the enemy and threat.

"Don't even think about getting what you want."

He Fei's voice was low and firm, and every word contained unquestionable power.

Before he finished speaking, He Fei acted quickly and decisively. He bent down and picked up the blood-stained gun on the ground. It was his former weapon and also the tool he used to end everything.

His fingers were tightly gripping the trigger, and there was no hesitation or fear in his eyes, only resistance to fate and deep love for Su Su.

"Bang!" The gunshot echoed in the empty space, shaking everyone's heart.

He Fei's body trembled violently, then slowly fell down, with a relieved smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he had finally completed his mission.

At the same time, Su Su's quiet body seemed to be affected by something, and she lay there quietly, tightly attached to He Fei. The two of them embraced each other in a pool of blood, forming a tragic and beautiful picture.

Although their lives have ended, their loyalty and love for each other will remain in this world forever.
