The CEO's wife is reborn and vows to pay for her crimes in blood.

Chapter 229 So this was Paul's plan

"Paul, it's been a long time."

In the underground black market, Paul took Shirley to meet a brown-haired, obese man named James, a foreigner who was the big boss of the black market.

“Mr. James, have you prepared everything I asked you to?” Paul asked.

“Your instructions are naturally in order.” James smiled, then looked at Shirley. “Is this your new girlfriend? She’s actually quite pretty.”

At this moment, Shirley broke out in a cold sweat, fearing that Paul would turn into that possessive madman again and do something to this man named James. Clearly, James was not as easy to deal with as Paul's underling. If he and Paul got into a conflict, they might never be able to leave this underground black market again.

Not to mention that James himself is a tall and strong man, and he also has several burly bodyguards around him. To be honest, if it really came down to a fight, Paul probably wouldn't be a match for them at all, especially since this is James's territory.

Shirley watched Paul with some nervousness.

Fortunately, her worst fears did not come true.

Paul pulled Shirley into his arms, grinning crookedly, and said, "She's my dream girl."

James was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly realized, and he laughed loudly, "You two are truly a perfect match!"

"Enough with the small talk, I need to inspect the goods." Paul's expression changed, and he said coldly.

“Of course,” James said, clapping his hands. Two of his men then carried in a wooden crate.

Paul opened the wooden crate and saw that it was full of guns.

Paul was very satisfied and was about to reach for a gun to test it when James stopped him.

"I heard you're being hunted down by Gu Ye. Are you sure you can afford this?" James looked at Paul with suspicion.

"This is the title deed of my winery in France, and all the properties under my name. I'm giving it all to you."

Paul handed everything to James without even blinking.

James checked it and, after confirming it was correct, accepted it.

Finally, somewhat puzzled, he asked Paul, "Who is Gu Ye? Why did you have to mess with him of all people?"

"In this life, you have to fight for something at least once. I refuse to believe that Gu Ye really has three heads and six arms and is unshakeable?"

Paul didn't feel like he had done anything wrong; he was even somewhat excited.

James looked at Paul and shook his head in even greater disbelief.

"Then I wish you good luck."

Shirley never expected that Paul's so-called plan was to fight Gu Ye and his group to the death.

"Are you crazy? You really are crazy."

Shirley stared in disbelief at Paul as he loaded a gun.

Paul, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, completely ignored what Shirley was saying.

Seeing this, Shirley could no longer tolerate Paul's behavior. She quickly said, "No, I don't want to go to my death with you. I'm leaving."

Sherry said this and then turned to leave.

Only then did Paul throw down his cigarette holder, pull Shirley back, and slam her to the ground.

"Paul, I beg you, please let me go. I don't want revenge anymore, I just want to live."

Shirley looked at Paul in fear and pleaded desperately.

"Do you think you still have a chance to live?" Paul grabbed Shirley by the neck and sneered.

Shirley was speechless for a moment.

Yes, she has no way out. Gu Ye will not let her go. Not only Gu Ye, but Xue Bai will not spare her either. She has no way out.

"So do you understand now? I'm the only one who can survive."

Paul brandished the gun in his hand and smiled faintly.

Shirley's heart was completely opened.

Seeing that Shirley had stopped yelling about leaving, Paul let go of her hand and continued loading the gun.

There's no turning back now; it's either you die or I die!

Shirley walked up to Paul and suddenly picked up a gun.

Paul glanced at her sideways, still smiling faintly.

"Do you know how to use a gun?"

Shirley was startled, and the gun in her hand fell to the ground, but before it could hit the ground, Paul caught it with lightning speed.

"Don't just hide behind me. Bullets don't have eyes, and I don't want to accidentally hurt you."

Paul was indeed a bit abnormal, but he also truly loved Shirley, and Shirley knew this very well. So she seized upon Paul's love for her, took his hand, and said, "Paul, you will protect me, right? You won't let Gu Ye kill me?"

"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have done so much for you."

Paul held the back of Shirley's head and kissed her, laughing heartlessly.

Paul knew perfectly well that Shirley didn't like him and was only willing to be abused by him to get revenge for her. Even so, he was happy to do it. He knew she was a vicious woman who would only use him, but he was still deeply in love with her. It can only be said that he liked Shirley, a woman who would do anything for herself.

How confident are we this time?

After Paul released Shirley, she tentatively asked a question, but in her heart she was already planning how to find a way out.

"Confidence?" Paul smiled faintly. He casually loaded the bullet, then rotated the chamber before stylishly pointing the gun towards the door.

Shirley waited anxiously for his answer.

"Less than one-tenth," he answered her truthfully.

"Isn't that just sending us to our deaths? Paul, can't we... think of another way?"

Shirley held Paul's hand; she really didn't want to die.

"Are you scared?" Paul asked with a smile.

Isn't that obvious? Who wouldn't be afraid? Except, of course, this madman in front of us.

"Are you afraid of dying?" Paul pressed closer to Shirley.

Sherry inexplicably took a step back.

Isn't it only natural to kill it?

“I’m afraid of dying too,” Paul said, changing the subject.

Shirley breathed a sigh of relief.

She really couldn't understand this guy.

"Then think about it, are there any other ways we can do it?" Shirley tried to find another shortcut.

“From the day you decided to challenge Gu Ye, you should have known this day would come,” Paul said, somewhat amused.

She was the one who challenged Gu Ye time and time again, but now he's risking his life to help her, yet she's backing down.

"I challenged Gu Ye, but I didn't expect you to be so useless."

Shirley opened her mouth in exasperation, but when she saw Paul's expression, she shut her mouth in fright.

If she had known Paul was so unreliable, she wouldn't have thought of revenge, and instead, as Chu Xinglan suggested, she would have gone into hiding and never appeared in front of them again, leaving her with no way out now.

Paul simply smiled faintly as he looked at Shirley, who was taking all the blame upon herself.

"Alright, my queen, let's go hunting. Don't you hate that woman named Chu Xinglan the most? Let's start with her."

Shirley suddenly felt as if she had been struck.

She wanted Chu Xinglan to suffer a terrible death; she wanted her dead!
