'Died in the line of duty?' The corner of Zhao Youlin's lips unwittingly curled up in a mocking smile.
When the two shots hit his heart, one of the shots was fired from behind him, so it should have come from a sniper who ran away and hid in the dark.
No one knows better than himself that the other shot was actually fired from the direction of two o'clock, which police officers had previously mentioned to him.
The shot came from the relief team under Captain Li. Zhao Youlin had always thought that she would be killed at the hands of the enemy and die on duty when she carried out her mission.
However, little did he expect that he would be shot by his own partner from the same team, and that person did it behind his back from the shadows.
As he thought about it, his calm facial expression changed slightly, which was a rare sight. Nevertheless, before it completely changed, his expression quickly returned without leaving a trace.
Fortunately, Zhao Youlin's adoptive mother had died five years ago. In addition, he was an orphan whose parents had died of misfortune. Therefore, he hoped that his death would have no impact on anyone.
The saddest person would only be Mu Chen. He might shed his tears for some time, but he would also recover after a while. Mu Chen's mother and Zhao Youlin's adoptive mother were close friends, and they grew up together.
It was because of this relationship that he took care of Mu Chen like he was his own brother. Unfortunately, he would not have such luck in the future.
While Zhao Youlin was thinking about this, she suddenly heard footsteps from outside. Soon after, he saw a girl dressed as a waiter enter with a tray filled with ordinary food.
There was even an expression of impatience on his face as if delivering food to Zhao Youlin humiliated him.
"Madam, it's time to eat." The girl roughly placed the tray containing the dishes on the table by the window beside Zhao Youlin and spoke in an ominous manner.
There was a lack of respect towards the master based on his manner of speech. Instead, it was filled with obvious contempt and hatred.
Especially after they found out about how the woman from this prestigious family had tricked Mu Tingfeng into sleeping with her to get the position of the mistress of the Mu family.
Despite not daring to reveal anything on the surface, they gossiped about all of this behind his back. Zhao Youlin recalled the moment she fell unconscious, she faintly heard the servants shouting in horror.
He could feel the girls thinking that as long as Zhao Youlin did not die inside the house, they would not be punished even though they had a disobedient attitude and behaved disrespectfully towards her.
Zhao Youlin raised her gaze to look at the rude servant. Mu Tingfeng did not even bother to visit his wife who had just survived the valley of death even after she received news of him killing himself by slitting his wrist.
It is clear that this behavior alone is enough for the servant to justify ignoring things regarding the life and death of the mistress.
The maid crossed her arms, and when her impatient gaze met Zhao Youlin's sudden gaze, her heart trembled slightly in fear.
He noticed that something had somehow changed since the woman woke up. Even though he was feeling scared, the maid changed her mind once she recalled the cowardly appearance of the mistress from before.
He instantly straightened his back and frowned as he said, “What do you see? Don't eat if you don't want to. This is a waste of food for you to live.” As he spoke, he grabbed the tray he had just put down.
He obviously wanted to take a tray from her just to starve Zhao Youlin. After all, it was not the first occurrence, and the woman could do nothing but endure it.
Unfortunately for the maid, she was destined to be disappointed this time. Zhao Youlin narrowed her eyes.
The moment the maid placed her hand on the tray, she raised her right hand and quickly struck him precisely and viciously.
"Aah!" The next moment, a loud thud and the high-pitched scream of the servant cut through the air in the Mu family villa.
