Chapter 324

She commanded the others inside the aircraft.

The group exchanged uneasy glances.

But they had no choice but to obey.

From the beginning to the end, they had no idea what Bai Ruo was so worked up about.

It was almost laughable—she had initially wanted to kill someone, but in the end, she was the one being chased.

How could someone as wise and formidable as the base leader have such a foolish daughter?

And so, a new round of pursuit began.

Yun Xiaoxiao remained calm and composed, deftly dodging incoming attacks while seizing opportunities to deliver powerful strikes.

She managed to hit both wings of the fighter jet.

The already unstable aircraft began to wobble precariously.

However, the pilot was clearly an experienced hand.

Despite the dire situation, they managed to keep the plane airborne until it neared the northern base before it finally crashed.

As the plane went down, a signal flare shot into the sky.

Yun Xiaoxiao frowned, realizing that the other side was calling for reinforcements.

She wanted to stop it, but it was already too late.

With a cold expression, she swiftly moved toward the crash site.

Bai Ruo and her companions had jumped out of the aircraft the moment it started to fall.

They tumbled several times on the ground before finally regaining their footing.

"Stop her!" Bai Ruo shouted in panic as she saw Yun Xiaoxiao approaching.

Her subordinates exchanged glances.

Though Bai Ruo wasn’t much to speak of, she was, after all, the base leader’s only daughter.

The base leader was someone they respected and looked up to.

If it weren’t for him, they and their families would have perished long ago.

So, his only daughter couldn’t be allowed to come to harm!

The group immediately stepped in front of Yun Xiaoxiao, assuming a defensive stance.

Yun Xiaoxiao’s gaze darkened as she stared at Bai Ruo behind them, a cold smile forming on her lips.

So, it was her!

No wonder there was such intense hostility.

From the very beginning, this person had been intent on killing her.

She clicked her tongue in disapproval.

Though Bai Hongting had left a decent impression on her, it was a shame.

He had ended up with a daughter like this.

Now, no one’s face would save her.

If you want to kill me, you’d better be prepared to be killed in return!

Not even the heavens could interfere!

Yun Xiaoxiao’s lips curled into a smirk as she made a throat-slitting gesture toward Bai Ruo.

The provocation was blatant, exuding a wild, untamed arrogance.

Paired with her innocent, doll-like face, it made her seem like a little devil.

Bai Ruo’s heart skipped a beat.

For some reason, she felt an overwhelming sense of suffocation.

It was as if Yun Xiaoxiao would strangle her and snap her neck in the next second.

Yun Xiaoxiao glanced coldly at the people blocking her path.

"Step aside, and I won’t kill you," she said.

She knew these people were merely following orders.

She wasn’t one to kill indiscriminately.

But if they insisted on standing in her way, she wouldn’t hold back.

"Little girl, you should leave now. The signal flare has been fired. The base leader will be here soon, and you’re no match for him," the pilot who had launched the missile earlier said, his tone tinged with pity.

Another chimed in, "Yes, taking on the entire northern base isn’t wise. You still have time to leave."

Though she knew they meant well, Yun Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but laugh.

"How do you know I’m not a match for him?"

Bai Hongting was indeed powerful, but based on his previous strength, he wasn’t her equal.

Still, ​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​‍to avoid unnecessary trouble, Yun Xiaoxiao didn’t want to cross paths with Bai Hongting.

So, she decided to end things quickly.

Though these people were innocent, aiding and abetting evil meant they weren’t entirely blameless.

She unleashed her full power, attacking them without warning.

They scrambled to defend themselves.

In the midst of the chaos, Bai Ruo actually ran away on her own!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Yun Xiaoxiao’s eyes darkened, and she couldn’t help but sneer.

How bold!

While others were protecting her, she had the nerve to sneak off!

Yun Xiaoxiao quickly summoned her little companions, Xiao Keai and Xiao Huahua, to keep the group occupied.

Once free, she darted after Bai Ruo.

As soon as she got close, she whipped out a vine, wrapping it around Bai Ruo’s neck and yanking her backward.

Bai Ruo was dragged into the air and then slammed onto the snowy ground.

Before she could get up, Yun Xiaoxiao pressed a blade to her throat.

Bai Ruo’s breath hitched, her pupils dilating in terror.

Feeling the intense murderous intent in Yun Xiaoxiao’s eyes, she panicked.

She couldn’t die!

She didn’t want to die!

Just as Yun Xiaoxiao raised her blade, ready to strike, Bai Ruo screamed, "You can’t kill me! I know who your real parents are! If you kill me, you’ll never see them again! Besides me, no one else in the world knows your true origins!"

In truth, Bai Ruo wasn’t entirely sure if Yun Xiaoxiao was her parents’ biological daughter.

But the resemblance was uncanny, and the age matched.

She was gambling.

Of course, she didn’t want Yun Xiaoxiao to reunite with her parents.

But with her life on the line, she couldn’t afford to care about that anymore.

Besides, she was only trying to buy time.

The signal flare she had fired was unique to her. Her father and his subordinates would recognize it and come rushing over.

As long as they arrived, she would be saved!

Her plan was crystal clear.

Yun Xiaoxiao did pause momentarily at her words.

She was puzzled. How did Bai Ruo know about her having biological parents?

She distinctly remembered telling them that she had no parents, that she was born of the heavens and raised by nature.

Could Bai Ruo actually know something?

However, she soon overheard Bai Ruo’s internal monologue.

Her parents’ biological daughter?

If Bai Ruo’s father was Bai Hongting, then...

"You’re not Bai Hongting’s biological daughter?"

Though Yun Xiaoxiao phrased it as a question, her tone was certain.

Bai Ruo’s head snapped up, her face filled with shock.

She hadn’t mentioned her father’s name!

How did Yun Xiaoxiao know?

Though Bai Ruo didn’t respond directly, Yun Xiaoxiao had already deduced the truth from her reaction.

No wonder Bai Ruo harbored such intense hostility toward her.

This was the root cause.

"Now that you’ve said your piece, it’s time for you to... die."

Noticing the approaching helicopter in the distance, Yun Xiaoxiao’s eyes narrowed. She raised her blade and thrust it toward Bai Ruo’s neck.

This strike was merciless, aimed squarely at ending her life.

But just as the blade was a hair’s breadth away from Bai Ruo’s throat, a bullet struck the hilt of the knife.

The impact knocked the blade slightly off course, and it only grazed Bai Ruo’s shoulder.

"Ah!"

Blood seeped from Bai Ruo’s shoulder, staining her torn clothes.

She winced in pain, her entire body trembling.

For a moment, she had truly believed she was about to die at Yun Xiaoxiao’s hands.

Thankfully!

Thankfully, the reinforcements had arrived.

"Dad, save me!" she screamed at the top of her lungs.
