Chapter 342
Luna White stood by the window, her fingers lightly tapping against the sill.
The truth was crystal clear in her mind.
The number of people who would go to such lengths to target her could be counted on one hand. And those who hated her enough to want her dead? Even fewer.
The answer was obvious.
Wei Shufen.
Just as expected.
The other shoe was finally about to drop.
This move was ruthless.
Transferring her thousands of miles away.
First, distance would erode emotions. No matter how deep Andrew Smith's love was, time and separation would wear it down. And when the moment was right, Ding Min would swoop in—effortless and inevitable.
Second, that place was a death trap. One wrong step, and her life would be over.
Two birds with one stone.
A bloodless execution.
Compared to Wei's petty schemes before, this was the work of a true master.
"Luna, I know this isn't fair to you," Dean Miller sighed. "But as doctors, saving lives is our duty. I believe someone of your caliber will shine wherever you go."
Luna smiled faintly. "Don't worry, Dean. I've always followed my conscience. No matter where I am, I'll do what needs to be done."
Dean Miller's eyes grew moist. "Good girl... Promise me you'll stay safe."
"Yes, ma'am."
Watching Luna's straight-backed figure walk away, the dean felt a lump in her throat.
The girl was too composed.
Not a single complaint.
As if she were heading to some paradise.
The phone rang abruptly.
"Old Li..."
"No way around it? She agreed without hesitation, didn't even flinch. That just makes me feel... worse."
Silence stretched on the other end.
"It's a direct order from above. The old boss hinted... there's no room for negotiation."
Dean Miller tightened her grip on the receiver. "All I ask is that she comes back alive."
Li Dongliang let out a long sigh on the other end.
If only they'd known...
They never should have recruited her from the aeronautics academy in the first place.
Now, it was too late for regrets.
