“We’ve done basically everything, but…” Meng Qing pointed to himself, though Yu Yi knew he was referring to Tu Feibai, “I’ve healed his body. If I leave, he’ll come back.”
Yu Yi furrowed her brow, “But most of his troops are gone…”
“Tu Feibai is not simple. He’s a character. He didn’t get to where he is today just by meeting influential people. Although his power is currently lost, if we don’t put him in a desperate situation, we can’t be sure he won’t rise again.” Meng Qing pulled out a gun, pointing it at his own temple, “To ensure the mission is complete, it seems I’ll have to shoot him.”
Yu Yi inhaled sharply, involuntarily stepping back, staring at Meng Qing, “Are you going to… yourself?

Meng Qing’s mouth twitched, “What kind of joke is that? Do you know how much that would hurt?!” He turned the gun around and offered it to Yu Yi, “Find a hidden spot, I’ll switch back, and after I leave, you shoot.”
Yu Yi hesitated, not taking the gun. She had killed before, but those times were in critical moments – once to save someone, the second time for self-preservation. This time was different. Just after Meng Qing left Tu Feibai’s body, he would be disoriented, and she would be assassinating someone completely unprepared.
Meng Qing, seeing her hesitation, softly persuaded, “Since you’re in this line of work, such things are inevitable. You’ll have to get used to it.”
Yu Yi took a deep breath, telling herself that Tu Feibai had committed many crimes and deserved to die. Thinking of the children’s miserable conditions in the underground cell, she reached out to take the gun.
Meng Qing, seeing her hand trembling, sighed and took the gun back. “Forget it.”
Yu Yi was stunned, looking at Meng Qing in surprise.
Just then, a demanding voice came from outside, “Tu Feibai! Come out!”
Meng Qing clicked his tongue, “They’re here so soon!” He then told Yu Yi, “They’ve probably surrounded the place. If we drag this out, they might rush in. You’re in your true form, so find a place to hide. Once Tu Feibai dies, you can go back.”
