Rebirth of the Scumbag and the Retribution of the White Lotus

The warehouse was completely silent, save for the rapid breathing and footsteps of the two men. Everything seemed lifeless. Zhao Shufang and Lu Lingyuan grew increasingly nervous, each step akin to a life-or-death battle. A lingering smell of decay hung in the air, as if this abandoned warehouse had long since become a forbidden place, forgotten by all, and only the dark forces hidden within, waiting to erupt.

Zhao Shufang was the first to enter the depths of the warehouse, scanning her surroundings with sharp eyes. She knew that Yang Qiming's plan had already been laid out, and whether she and Lu Lingyuan could escape danger, whether they could reverse the situation, all depended on tonight's attack.

"Be careful, Yang Qiming must be waiting for us." Zhao Shufang whispered, her eyes sharp as a knife. "He must have laid many traps. Any negligence will make us fall into his control."

"I know." Lu Lingyuan followed closely behind, looking around vigilantly, "But the fact that he dared to wait for us here shows that he has confidence in himself. At least on this point, he doesn't intend to underestimate us."

"That's right." Zhao Shufang's eyes revealed a hint of determination. "But today, no matter how well he prepares, we must completely break this chess game."

The two of them cautiously walked to a corner and found an iron door slightly ajar, as if inviting them into this unknown darkness. Zhao Shufang raised her eyebrows, motioning Lu Lingyuan to pause for a moment. She whispered, "There's something wrong here."

"What's going on?" Lu Lingyuan asked.

"The door wasn't completely closed, and a faint light could be seen through the crack." Zhao Shufang pointed to the gap above the iron door. "He might still be waiting inside."

Lu Lingyuan was silent for a moment, then suddenly grabbed Zhao Shufang's arm: "Are you sure you want to go in? If he has already set a trap——"

Zhao Shufang looked at him, her eyes unwavering. "Now that we're here, there's no turning back. The final outcome is either life or death. No matter what trap he sets, I'm ready."

Her tone was firm and calm, as if she had let go of all her burdens and only had one goal left - to defeat Yang Qiming.

Lu Lingyuan took a deep breath, and finally said nothing more. He turned and followed her towards the iron door. Pushing the door open, they were greeted by a dimly lit space, empty and empty except for a few worn-out light bulbs hanging from the ceiling, emitting a faint glow.

"Yang Qiming!" Zhao Shufang shouted decisively, her voice echoing in the empty space. "I know you're here, come out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the lights in the warehouse suddenly flickered several times, and then the entire space was plunged into complete darkness. Zhao Shufang and Lu Lingyuan instantly became nervous. The silence around them seemed to foreshadow the coming of a major storm.

"Is this... a trap he set up?" Lu Lingyuan whispered, with a hint of alertness in his voice.

"It seems he wants to throw us into chaos this way." Zhao Shufang's eyes quickly adjusted to the darkness and she said in a deep voice, "But that doesn't mean we'll be easily fooled."

Suddenly, a crisp ringtone broke the dark silence. Zhao Shufang subconsciously turned her head and noticed that a nearby electronic screen, hidden in the shadows, had lit up. On the screen was Yang Qiming's grim face.

"Zhao Shufang, Lu Lingyuan," Yang Qiming on the screen sneered, "You are finally here. I have been waiting for this day for a long time."

"Do you think this is all you have planned?" Zhao Shufang's gaze was sharp as a knife, and she refused to back down. "You're just trying to buy time with these tactics, but your fate is already sealed."

Yang Qiming's smile turned even colder. "It's destined? Haha, Zhao Shufang, you're too naive. The numerous traps I've laid behind you will trap you time and again, leaving you with no place to bury your bodies. And your fate will always be in my hands."

Just as he finished speaking, a strong electrical sound suddenly rang out, and the entire warehouse began to shake. The lights flickered more and more violently, and then a huge mechanical sound was heard, and the ground began to tremble violently.

"Oops!" Lu Lingyuan's eyes narrowed, "What is this?!"

"This is Yang Qiming's true purpose." Zhao Shufang narrowed her eyes and quickly grabbed Lu Lingyuan. "Not only does he want us dead, he also wants to completely destroy everything here, leaving us no chance to fight back!"

As soon as the words fell, a huge iron door on the ground slowly rose, revealing a dark passage. Zhao Shufang tightly grasped Lu Lingyuan's hand: "Follow me!"

Without hesitation, the two men rushed toward the passage. However, a sudden roar erupted from behind them, and the warehouse wall began to crack, as if the entire building was about to collapse. Zhao Shufang and Lu Lingyuan were instantly trapped—this wasn't just a trap, but a devastating explosion designed by Yang Qiming.

"Hurry! Get over there!" Zhao Shufang shouted desperately, pulling Lu Lingyuan into the passage. The moment they stepped into the passage, the detonation of explosives was deafening, and the entire warehouse exploded instantly, with flames shooting into the sky.

"Zhao Shufang..." Lu Lingyuan cried out in terror, watching as the exit in front of the passage collapsed in the explosion, and everything became a chaotic mess. Then, a strong suction force came from behind, pulling the two of them deeper into the darkness.

Zhao Shufang's heartbeat quickened, but her eyes remained calm: "No matter what lies ahead, we must find Yang Qiming and resolve this matter thoroughly."

A battle of life and death has finally begun, and this time, fate seems to be on their side - but whether the outcome will be a life-or-death decision, or a reversal of defeat, remains unknown.
