The Brilliant Life of a Post-Apocalyptic Female Boss Reborn at 70

Xin Yi cried until her voice was hoarse, but the man still didn't appear. It seemed she had to resort to drastic measures.

"Anyway, nobody cares about me, so there's no point in living. But I feel so guilty towards my parents. They raised me for eighteen years, and I haven't even had a chance to repay them..."

When she got emotional, Xin Yi even pounded her chest hard with both hands, a sight that would break the hearts of anyone who heard or saw her.

The man was starting to believe Xin Yi's story. After all, what normal person would come to this remote mountain forest alone in the middle of the night unless they were driven to desperation?

Just as the man was hesitating about whether to show himself, Xin Yi suddenly stood up.

"Since there's no point in living, I might as well die!"

After saying that, he ran towards the edge of the cliff. In the blink of an eye, the man made a decision and rushed towards Xin Yi, trying to save her life.

Xin Yi originally planned to knock the man unconscious with an electric shock when he tried to stop her, but she didn't expect to get off so fast that she couldn't stop in time and went straight off the cliff.

"I'm doomed, I don't want to die!"

In her panic, Xin Yi desperately tried to grab onto anything around her until she finally managed to grab the man's hands.

The man pulled upwards with all his might, shouting, "Don't move!"

Xin Yi then stopped struggling and was pulled back from the edge of the cliff by the man.

With her feet firmly on the ground, Xin Yi finally calmed down and couldn't help but wonder why she, who had killed countless people in her past life, had become so afraid of death now. Was it because there were too few dangers around her, causing her to degenerate rapidly in all aspects?

The man was also panting heavily.

"Are you... are you stupid? What's so important that you'd commit suicide over something like this? You're living for yourself, what business is it of yours!"

Hearing the man's words of comfort, Xin Yi felt a little embarrassed to make the move.

However, her voice still trembled with tears as she replied, "Life has lost its meaning for me. Nobody cares whether I live or die anymore, sob sob sob..."

Seeing Xin Yi's tearful and pitiful appearance, the man felt a surge of warmth in his heart and reached out to embrace her.

However, the imagined embrace of a soft, fragrant woman did not come. Instead, a jolt of electricity struck him, and he instantly collapsed to the ground, his hand still trembling as he reached out to try and retrieve the pistol tucked into his waistband.

Xin Yi sensed his intention and instantly threw a lightning-infused iron nail, which pierced deeply into the back of the man's hand. However, he did not feel any pain because he had already been stunned by the electric shock.

Xin Yi reached out and took the pistol from the man's waist, muttering to herself.

"Don't blame me. You saved my life, but compared to the interests of the country, my life is worthless. So, I can only ask you to make do."

With such a large man lying on the ground, Xin Yi was stumped about how to get him down the mountain and hand him over to the police.

He tried dragging his feet, looking at the rugged mountain path. Even if he managed to get down the mountain, the man would at least be disfigured, if not killed.

The thought of that scene sent a chill down Xin Yi's spine. This method wouldn't work, but leaving him here couldn't guarantee his safety. If he encountered wild animals, he would be doomed. Besides, if he woke up, he would definitely run away.

Xin Yi was caught in a dilemma when suddenly, she faintly heard a series of hurried footsteps coming from afar.

Could there be accomplices?

Without realizing it, Xin Yi raised her pistol and pointed it in the direction from which the sound came.

As the sound drew closer, Xin Yi finally recognized the people approaching as Feng Yi and his companion, and immediately relaxed.

Feng Yi and his companion had just finished dealing with Lao Qi and his companion and retrieved the confidential documents when they hurriedly ran up the mountain, thinking that they had to capture this unknown man, otherwise there would be endless trouble.

But as soon as he emerged from the woods, he saw a woman pointing a gun at him. Upon closer inspection, he exclaimed, "It's you!"

As soon as Xiao Meng rushed out, she saw Xin Yi and said in surprise, "You...aren't you the lady who stayed next to us at the guesthouse?"

"Oh?"

Xin Yi looked at Feng Yi, "Is there really such a fate?"

Feng Yi touched his nose. "It really is quite a coincidence!"

"Brother Feng, you must have intercepted the two people coming down the mountain, right? Did you manage to retrieve the confidential documents?"

As soon as Xin Yi said this, Feng Yi and the other person looked at her in surprise.

Seeing their questions, Xin Yi had no choice but to explain, "Those two people stayed in the guesthouse next to mine, room 201. The room wasn't well soundproofed, and I overheard their conversation. I felt they weren't good people, and since I happened to hear that the transaction was taking place here, I came here, thinking I could stop them from doing something that would harm the national interest!"

Xin Yi paused for a moment, "Actually, I was lying in ambush nearby when they met. Logically, I should have gone to retrieve the confidential documents first. It was only when I saw that you two were there and left with them that I thought of chasing after this person!"

As she spoke, she even moved the man who was paralyzed on the ground with her foot.

Feng Yi and the other two then realized what was happening, and the usually carefree Xiao Meng hurriedly went over to check on the unconscious man.

"It's good that you're still alive!"

He then turned to Xin Yi and said, "Comrade, you're amazing! You managed to take down a specially trained spy all by yourself. You're truly a woman who doesn't yield to men!"

Xin Yi smiled rather embarrassedly, "I also used some tricks. All's fair in war, I managed to take him down. If it were a direct confrontation, I might not be his match, and he also has this!"

Xin Yi handed over the gun.

Upon seeing the gun in Xin Yi's hand, Feng Yi and his companion couldn't help but gasp.

The usually taciturn Feng Yi took the pistol from Xin Yi with a look of lingering fear, and said in a reproachful tone, "Comrade Xin, you really don't know your own limitations. Why did you put yourself in danger? These things should have been done by us. Why did you have to be so reckless? What will happen to your family if something happens to you?"

Seeing Feng Yi talking so much and looking so scared, Xiao Meng couldn't help but ask, "Did you two know each other before?"

Feng Yi didn't respond, so Xin Yi had no choice but to answer, "I was kidnapped by human traffickers before, and it was Brother Feng who rescued me!"

Xiao Meng looked at Xin Yi, then at Feng Yi, seemingly understanding something, yet also seemingly understanding nothing, and was about to say something.

"Alright, let's not waste any more time. Let's hurry down the mountain. Xiao Meng, go and carry this person on your back!"

"Why me?" Xiao Meng muttered to herself.

"What did you say?"

Upon seeing Feng Yi's serious expression, Xiao Meng immediately backed down, "N-nothing, I'll carry it, I'll carry it, okay?"

Xiao Meng grabbed the man on the ground and put him on her back, waiting for Feng Yi to speak.
