Rebirth of the Scumbag and the Retribution of the White Lotus

Zhao Shufang and Lu Lingyuan swiftly moved through the city's dark alleys, their steps light and swift, as if racing against time. Though their bodies were exhausted, their hearts still burned with unwavering determination. This confrontation with Yang Qiming was a dead end. If they didn't act now, everything would be irreversible.

"Are you sure?" Lu Lingyuan asked, a hint of anxiety in his voice. After all, things had reached a critical moment, and any omission could have disastrous consequences.

Zhao Shufang paused for a moment, then raised her head with determination. She turned to Lu Lingyuan, a deep glint in her eyes. "I've laid a trap, but its success depends entirely on whether he takes it."

"Yang Qiming is indeed a tough opponent." Lu Lingyuan frowned. "I think he must have known about our actions by now. I wonder if he has been prepared."

Zhao Shufang was silent for a moment, her expression calm. "Since he dared to do this, it means he doesn't think we have any room for resistance. As for his preparations... I believe he will take action personally tonight. This game has finally reached the moment of decision."

Lu Lingyuan looked at her deeply, and couldn't help but admire Zhao Shufang's wisdom and decisiveness. He knew that at this moment, she had considered everything very carefully, and every step was filled with deep insight into Yang Qiming.

"No matter what, we only have a slim chance." Zhao Shufang's eyes were serious. "He's very impatient right now, and the more impatient he is, the more likely he is to make mistakes. I already knew he would reveal a flaw at the last moment. We just need to seize this opportunity and defeat him completely."

As the two were discussing, they heard hurried footsteps in the distance. Zhao Shufang immediately held her breath and pulled Lu Lingyuan toward the corner of the alley. They huddled against the wall, maintaining the most silent posture, holding their breath and waiting for the situation outside to change.

"Hurry, go over there!" The voices of several men in black came, obviously tracking their whereabouts.

Zhao Shufang and Lu Lingyuan glanced at each other nervously, and Zhao Shufang whispered, "We've been discovered! Quick! Go around to another alley."

Without hesitation, the two men turned around and quickly changed their route, avoiding the enemy's pursuit. Even so, they knew that after this night, the situation would change fundamentally. They could no longer remain in a passive defensive position like they were now.

A few minutes later, Zhao Shufang and Lu Lingyuan finally arrived at a slightly wider street. She looked around, confirming there were no enemy sightings, before slowly speaking, "We must find Yang Qiming's hiding place."

"He may have changed his plans." Lu Lingyuan said in a deep voice, "After all, our continuous actions must have aroused his vigilance."

Zhao Shufang nodded, her expression remaining calm. "No, he won't change his plan easily. Yang Qiming's only choice now is to complete his original goal—to eliminate us."

"But he doesn't have much time now." Lu Lingyuan frowned, "Will he choose to take action directly, or... let us fall into his trap?"

The corners of Zhao Shufang's mouth curled up slightly. "If he had a way to kill us directly, he would have done it long ago. In tonight's decisive battle, he wants more than just our deaths."

"What do you mean?" Lu Lingyuan looked at her puzzledly.

Zhao Shufang's gaze grew profound. "He wants to completely destroy us, leaving us powerless to fight back, and even shaking our very foundation. This battle isn't just a matter of life and death; it's also a crucial decision for his future plans."

"Therefore, we must quickly find his hiding place and find the opportunity for him to take action, so that we have a chance to turn this battle around." Lu Lingyuan's tone became more and more firm.

"Yes." A sharp glint flashed in Zhao Shufang's eyes. "I've already formed a preliminary conclusion. Yang Qiming's hiding place must be his most cherished spot, possibly even his home base. Furthermore, I have a hunch that he won't give up on using this opportunity today to completely eliminate us."

The two quickened their pace, speaking no more, concentrating on finding a breakthrough. As time passed, it became increasingly clear in their minds—this battle was a one-way street, and the outcome had to be decided tonight.

Soon, they finally arrived at an abandoned warehouse. Zhao Shufang stopped and squinted her eyes, surveying her surroundings. Lu Lingyuan poked his head out from a nearby corner, peering out at the distant street. After confirming that no enemies were approaching, he whispered, "Is this... Yang Qiming's hideout?"

Zhao Shufang didn't respond immediately. She slowly walked towards the warehouse door, her fingers touching the door panel, a thoughtful expression on her face. "This is one of the places he frequents most. Although it looks abandoned on the surface, he must have hidden his most important things here."

"Shall we go in?" Lu Lingyuan was a little hesitant. He knew that once he entered, there might be no chance to exit.

Zhao Shufang nodded and took a deep breath: "It's time, regardless of success or failure, this battle must end."

Without hesitation, the two men pushed open the warehouse door and walked in. The dim light from inside cast long shadows on the ground. The air was filled with a stale smell, as if no one had been there in a long time. A slight sound came from the end of the corridor, and Zhao Shufang's heartbeat quickened. She knew that this place was the final stand that would decide life or death.

"Are you ready?" Lu Lingyuan asked in a low voice.

"We're ready," Zhao Shufang replied calmly, slowly stepping into the depths of the warehouse. "Let's prepare for the final battle."

They walk step by step towards the unknown darkness, with dangerous enemies behind them and the final showdown in front of them that will end it all.
