Summary
When the traitor fired, Ruan Lingzi took the bullet meant for me. Then she seized him and threw them both off the pier, taking him down with her.
The day they pulled her body from the water, I knelt until my knees sank into the gravel.
I swore that whoever was behind it would pay in blood.
Three years later, I hung the heads of the ten remaining conspirators outside my gates as a warning.
Everyone respected me. Everyone feared me. They called me Harbor City’s merciless monster.
On the anniversary of Lingzi’s death, I bought a bottle of pesticide and returned to the pier where she had died.
I was about to drink it all when a wedding boat came past. I saw my men boarding, so I quietly followed them.
I never expected to find my long-dead fiancée, Ruan Lingzi, standing on deck in a wedding dress beside Xu Baiyan, the friend I had always cared about most.
As everyone cheered, they held each other and kissed deeply.
I froze.
Agui, who had followed me for twelve years, spotted me. His face drained of color.
“Boss… d-don’t do anything rash. Lingzi’s pregnant!”
Uncle Huang, who had watched me grow up, stepped in front of Xu Baiyan.
“Jingheng, I was the one who asked Miss Ruan and Baiyan to come back. They only faked their deaths to get away from you because you can’t tolerate the slightest betrayal.”
“You run the harbor now. For my sake, let them be together.”
I looked at all my men gathered around the couple and said nothing.
Then I fired a shot through the engine, stranding the boat at sea.
“Anyone who betrays me dies. Jump overboard, or die by my hand.”
“Who’s first?”
