In the past, Matchmaker suffered so much because she had a bug in her head that rendered all hopes of escaping the organization useless. Now that such an opportunity presented itself, there was nothing Matchmaker wanted than to spill everything she knew.
Thus, she unethically sold out all the people she had worked with over the years that she could contact.
“Also, you said that you and Scorpion relied on codes to contact each other. What are your codes?”
There was a struggle in Matchmaker’s eyes. However, at the thought that she would no longer be under the organization’s control—and that even if she gave away the secret code, Zhong Nuannuan might not be able to find Scorpion anyway—Matchmaker told Zhong Nuannuan about her contact with Scorpion over the years.
Matchmaker was pletely useless now, so Zhong Nuannuan had someone release Matchmaker.
While Matchmaker was still overwhelmed with joy a second ago, fear appeared in her eyes when the group of mercenaries sent her outdoors.
Looking at the endless sea, she would rather be locked up.
“No, no… you can’t do this to me. She promised to let me go!”
“Our Big Boss did say that she’s letting you go! Aren’t we letting you go now?”
With that, the mercenaries laughed and lifted Matchmaker into the air.
“Our Big Boss always keeps her word. You should be grateful to her! There aren’t many people like her who repay evil with kindness anymore.”
With that, the mercenaries threw the screaming Matchmaker off the ten-meter-tall ship.
Matchmaker wanted to curse, but she could only hold her breath after falling into the water.
Just as she was about to swim upstream, many things plopped into the water from above.
She thought they were rocks, but when she scrutinized the bloodied things, she almost screamed.
No one knew where so many corpses came from. They were all chopped into pieces and thrown into the water.
She had a bad premonition. Matchmaker looked behind the ship and screamed in fear.
A stream of stale blood mixed with seawater gushed into her mouth. Before Matchmaker could spit out the seawater she was choking on, a shark swallowed her whole from behind.

It was three days later when Zhong Nuannuan returned to Jiang District.
When Zhong Nuannuan appeared in Chi Yang’s office, Leng Jinpeng was there as well.
“Hello, mander! How are you feeling recently?”
“Little Girl Nuan?” Leng Jinpeng looked delighted. “Aren’t you supposed to be at the training camp? Why are you back so soon?”
Seeing Zhong Nuannuan, the constantly austere Chi Yang stood up immediately to wele her, taking over her bags instead.
“Nuannuan, why are you here? Didn’t you say that you’ll only be back in a few days? Also, why didn’t you tell me you were going back to Jiang District? I didn’t even go to the airport to pick you up!”
Chi Yang felt that he had been too inpetent as a fiancé. His wife traveled from Emperor District to Luntan, and then returned from overseas to Jiang District. He had not participated in the entire process.
Zhong Nuannuan smiled and held Chi Yang’s arm. “Why must you pick me up? You’re so busy. Do you think I’ll lose my way?”
Although that was what she said, Chi Yang still felt very apologetic.
“Nuannuan, take a seat and rest for a while. I’ll get you some water. I’ll make you some lime soda.” Chi Yang went to open the fridge.
“You have lime soda here?”
“I have fresh lime, and I’ve stored the soda water in the fridge to keep it fresh. I know you like drinking them, so I’ve prepared some just in case you e over to my office.”
