He Ju didn't leave immediately. His car remained parked not far from Bai Shangmo's villa until the sound of a gunshot rang out. Only then did He Ju rub his weary brow and fully awaken, driving away.

As police cars whizzed past, He Ju contemplated that if Bai Shangmo were to survive today, his only chance to escape capture would be to flee China—a feat easier said than done.

Even if Bai Shangmo miraculously escaped death, he wouldn't dare return.

As for Zheng You, he was merely a disposable piece in He Ju's game. No matter the assassin's reasons, an assassin is still an assassin. He Ju had no sympathy for that kind of person. He would keep his promise not to go after Zheng You's wife, nothing more.
