Even if it's just once in a lifetime

An isolated unfinished building.

"Boss, there's no need to be so paranoid. The initiative is already in our hands. Why set up such a tight defense?"

A Korean man spoke in Korean.

"Ah, shit! Don't ask such stupid questions. We can't afford to be careless until we've dealt with Song Ligang!"

The leader, a broad-shouldered, heavily scarred fat man, said.

He had taken the lives of over a dozen people.

His name was Jin Dongxi, the leader of an international third-rate bounty hunter team.

He had stumbled upon Song Yuqi by accident.

Known for his brutal and ruthless methods, his peers had once crowned him a god.

This was something Jin Dongxi took great pride in.

A reputation that struck fear into others was a good thing. Just the mention of his name could intimidate fellow bounty hunters and prevent them from daring to steal his prey.

------- God Jin Dongxi.

Of course,

When faced with top-tier third-rate or second-rate bounty hunters,

He could only tuck his tail between his legs and behave.

In essence, he was a bully who picked on the weak and feared the strong.

"Boss, the two snipers are in position. If Song Ligang makes any reckless moves, they'll take him out immediately!"

Another member reported.

Jin Dongxi showed a dark, menacing smile, placing his hand on the man's ear, and then his face twisted into a ferocious expression.

With a violent tug, he ripped the man's ear.

"I want him alive!!!! I want him alive!!! I want him alive!!!!"

"Ah!!!"

The excruciating pain caused the member to scream in agony!!!

A small action.

Such a big injury.

The ear was almost bleeding.

The member quickly begged for mercy, "I understand, I understand! Boss, you want him alive, alive! We'll aim for his limbs to disable him!"

"Do you know why I want him alive?" Jin Dongxi chuckled.

The member's face turned serious, "A live Song Ligang is worth five hundred million dollars, while a dead one is only worth a hundred million dollars!"

"Then why the hell did you want to kill him!"

"Ah, shit!"

Slap-----

A loud slap echoed.

Jin Dongxi directly knocked the inconsiderate member to the ground!

"Use your damn brain! I'm doing this for the sake of all of us. This is our last job. After this, we can retire. Split the money, and as long as that bastard is alive, even if he's barely breathing, those five hundred million dollars are ours!"

"Don't kill him unless absolutely necessary, understand?"

"Understand!" the member replied, looking humiliated.

There were seven members of this team present at the site.

Two snipers were hidden in the shadows.

The other five were in plain sight, each holding self-assembled firearms. Although homemade, their firepower was no less than that of weapons produced in proper military factories.

The member stood up, his angry gaze fixed on the bound Song Yuqi.

His eyes were filled with not only anger but also unbridled greed.

Song Yuqi, already frightened out of her wits, had turned pale, her petite body trembling from time to time.

Her pitiful appearance was enough to evoke sympathy.

But to a psychopath, it only fueled their desire to abuse her.

The member wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his greedy gaze unconcealed.

"Boss, after we subdue Song Ligang, can we have some fun with his sister?"

Jin Dongxi glanced at Song Yuqi.

She was quite pretty.

Her figure was excellent.

He then scanned the others.

They all had the same look of a wolf eyeing its prey.

He gave his approval.

"Sure! Just do your jobs well, and this little girl is yours to play with! The only condition is that I want Song Ligang alive!"

"Got it!"

The member's face lit up with joy, his greedy eyes growing even more intense.

Since they had been speaking in Korean the entire time,

Song Yuqi, who didn't understand the language, heard only gibberish.

However, from the way the man had been leering at her with those lustful eyes,

Even without understanding the language,

Song Yuqi had already guessed their intentions.

They wanted to use her for evil!

Song Yuqi's eyes were dull, and if she hadn't known that Song Ligang was coming,

She would have already taken her own life!

Even if it meant death, she didn't want to be defiled by these men.

If she died now,

Then when Song Ligang arrived, it would be in vain.

So she couldn't die yet.

But Song Yuqi's eyes were firm, and she was determined to end her life if necessary!

This was unquestionable.

"Hehe... it seems there won't be any more chances to see Moge again."

"I really wanted to experience Disneyland with you once..."

"I wonder if you'll ever think of me by chance in the future, even if it's just once in ten years, or thirty years..."

"Even if it's just once in a lifetime..."

Tears welled up in Song Yuqi's eyes.

She sobbed silently.

After all, she was just a college student who had barely stepped into adulthood.

How could she have ever faced such a terrifying situation?

Several ruthless criminals armed with guns.

Holding her hostage and tying her up.

It was a feeling of utter despair.

Regret... Unwillingness... Despair...

All these emotions mixed together.

Song Yuqi's heart was a chaotic mess.

As death approached,

The first person she thought of wasn't her mother.

But Xu Mo.

Perhaps she didn't deserve Xu Mo's gentleness.

Time passed second by second.

Soon,

A tall figure approached step by step.

To prevent any tricks from Song Ligang,

Jin Dongxi and his men had chosen a position on the third floor,

Rather than the first floor.

There were also many excellent hiding spots nearby.

Once Song Ligang arrived, he would be trapped!

"Boss, he's here."

Instantly, everyone became fully alert.

Their eyes all focused on one direction.

A two-meter giant appeared in their sight.

Song Ligang's ordinary demeanor faded away.

He returned to being the ruthless mercenary king who had slaughtered countless enemies on the battlefield.

Jin Dongxi and the other members, including the two snipers hidden in the shadows,

All had one thought in their minds!

Damn, he's showing off!

He's asking for it!

They admitted that they were indeed intimidated by Song Ligang's aura!

After repeatedly confirming that Song Ligang wasn't carrying anything unusual,

Or that he wasn't accompanied by any helpers,

Jin Dongxi laughed triumphantly.

"Hahaha... Song Ligang, you've hidden well. I never thought you'd fall into my hands one day!"

"Where's my sister?!"

Song Ligang demanded in a murderous tone.

"Isn't the little girl right here?"

The member who had been slapped earlier replied in a sarcastic tone.

Song Ligang looked over.

Song Yuqi also turned her gaze toward him.

The siblings exchanged a silent glance.

Then,

Bound and fixed to a chair, Song Yuqi began to struggle like a madman.

Her mouth was gagged with a cloth,

So she could only make muffled sounds.

The chair creaked and swayed.

She shook her head vigorously.

Clearly, she was signaling for Song Ligang to escape.

"Ah, shit! If you move again, I'll blow your head off!"

Jin Dongxi aimed his black pistol at Song Yuqi's forehead.

He threatened her.

Song Yuqi refused to give up.

She wasn't stupid. She had seen the two members with sniper rifles leave earlier.

They must be hiding in the shadows, planning to ambush Song Ligang.

Today, only one of them could survive.

She had no chance.

But Song Ligang still did.

He might still be able to escape.

Even if there was just a sliver of hope,

She wanted to help Song Ligang seize it.

"Calm down! Calm down! Yuqi, everything will be fine, everything will be fine!"

Song Ligang's expression changed. No matter what, he had to calm Song Yuqi's emotions first.

He couldn't afford to fail now.

His only hope was pinned on the powerful helper Xu Shi had mentioned.

The chances were slim.

But it was better than nothing!

"As long as I can save Yuqi, I'll be your dog for the rest of my life, Old Song. I just hope that Miss Xu's powerful helper doesn't let me down."
