Chapter 970: A Joyous Occasion
Jiang Yao stood as she looked at the group of people—there were more than a hundred of them. It took only one glance for her to identify the man with the outstanding figure.
He had a gun and wore a mask; he stood at the back in his military boots, and he gave his commands with simple gestures.
He did not look at her, but she knew that he must have seen her.
That was her man—Lu Xingzhi!
When Madam Chai pointed a gun at her, he descended from the sky and shot her weapon down. It was magical.
The man had sworn to protect her, and he had done it.
That was the man who had sworn to protect her, and he had done it.
He had appeared like a miracle—he gave her stability and great hope.
He was hers.
Jiang Yao looked at the man—he was so busy that he could not even spare her a glance. Her heart was in turmoil; she felt as if she wanted to cry.
“Report, sir! We have all members from the Chai family in our control!”
“Take them away! Team One can stay behind to keep an eye on the doctors in the hospital. Team Two and Team Three can assist the hospital to transfer their remaining patients; send them to other hospitals for treatment!” His voice was low, but it was deep and powerful.
“That’s great! Great! The Yuan City tyrant is finally captured! That’s great!” The crowd applauded and cheered in unison. “A new sun is about to rise in Yuan City! A new dawn will arrive soon!”
Lu Xingzhi had brought all the elite soldiers with him, and they carried their tasks and duties as per his command.
The Chai family, Madam Chai included, were taken away. Chai Xianglong had died without anyone’s notice, and his body was still on the ground like a piece of rotten meat.

Blood had oozed from his body until it reached the small pool of blood from Madam Chai’s injury. The mother and son’s blood had finally merged.
How ridiculous was that mother-and-son’s love?
It seemed like evil would always be with evil.
Chai Xianglong was dead, but there was no one to collect his corpse. One would say that he had deserved it.
Lu Xingzhi took his mask off and fixed his eyes on the petite woman who stood a few meters away—her eyes were red as she stared at him. His eyelids twitched as he thought—damn it! Did his wife cry?
How was he supposed to coax her?
He made his way toward her hurriedly and then reached out to pull her into his arms. He said gently, “My dear wife, don’t cry. I’m here now.”
“You looked so magnificent when you got off the helicopter just now!” Jiang Yao threw herself into his arms and sniffed. Then, she said, “I’m not crying. I just felt so moved when I saw you appear just now. Did you see how many people hated the Chai family in Yuan City? They all cheered when you guys got here. It was as if you were their hope!”
One might say that Lu Xingzhi’s shot had paved the way for Yuan City’s new dawn.
“Leave the rest to me.” Lu Xingzhi patted Jiang Yao’s head. “Ah Lu and Big Ke are waiting for you out front. Go back to the hotel and wait for me there. I’ll handle the rest of the things here. But I might not be able to make it back to the hotel tonight. Don’t go anywhere; just wait for my call.”
Jiang Yao grunted a reply. Then, she watched as Lu Xingzhi’s back gradually left her sight.
Ah Lu and Big Ke were there to look for Jiang Yao. They glanced at the dead body on the ground and scoffed,”It’s rare that people are joyous when someone has just died.”
“Let’s hope that Zhou Xiaocheng can now rest in peace when she knows that he had fallen to his death so tragically.” Big Ke sighed. “Such a pity. Chai Xianglong has done all kinds of bad deeds; no one cares if he’s dead. But Zhou Xiaocheng, that little girl—”

The Vow
Ever since Aster’s mother died, home no longer feels like home. Now, she’s little more than a prisoner behind gilded bars; her father growing more distant by the day, her best friend missing and possibly left for dead. So when a letter from the royal family arrives, inviting her to stay in the palace, Aster agrees. She’s only been to the palace once, a memory she’s replayed countless times in her head, during her first fateful encounter with her fiancé. But when she comes face to face with Florian once more, he’s cold and apathetic; a far cry from the boy she used to dream of. As Aster struggles to come to terms with Florian’s new demeanour, life in the palace reveals more than it’s rose covered façade. The maze within its gardens hides thorns that cut deep, and the spirits who call it home want nothing more than to see her go.
