Chapter 66: Hugging Her
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“What happened?” Jiang Yining felt that things weren’t as simple as they seemed. The Lu family’s villa was in a super high-end wealthy district. Even if there was a power outage outside, there would be backup power that could be reconnected in an instant. However, there was still no sign of power. It could only mean that even the backup power source had been destroyed.
“A thief might have broke in. It’s a little dangerous, but don’t be afraid.” Lu Zhi’s voice was overbearing yet gentle, calming people’s minds.
“Mhm.”
Jiang Yining followed Lu Zhi’s footsteps and walked outside.
He heard all kinds of chaotic sounds.
Qi Feng seemed to have brought a few bodyguards with him and was looking for the intruder.
Zhong Sese stood far away from them and asked loudly, “Why is there a sudden blackout? What happened?”
“Find the lights!”
It was the housekeeper’s voice.
Jiang Yining pursed her lips and looked around in the dim light.
She wanted to see what was happening.
Lu Zhi held her hand and continued walking forward.
The two of them walked to the escalator.
Because Jiang Yining couldn’t see the stairs clearly, she tripped twice and almost fell down.
Fortunately, Lu Zhi, who was beside her, supported her.
“Thank you…”
Jiang Yining whispered.
“It’s too dangerous to walk like this.” As soon as Lu Zhi finished speaking, he bent down slightly and placed his left hand on her knees. He lifted her up steadily and hugged her in his arms.
Jiang Yining leaned against his chest, her heart throbbing.
“Put me down. I’ll walk slowly.”
“Don’t talk so much.”
Lu Zhi said coldly.
Jiang Yining was speechless.
For some reason, Lu Zhi could see the road under his feet even though the surroundings were so dark.
One step at a time, and he never made a mistake.
Jiang Yining could hear his steady and powerful heartbeat. Thump, thump, thump. Every beat seemed to penetrate her eardrums and reach her heart.
When they finally reached downstairs, he put her down.
Jiang Yining’s face was a little red.
She was glad that no one was looking at her now.
Lu Zhi heard that Qi Feng was nearby and said, “Qi Feng, give me a flashlight.”
“Yes.”
Qi Feng ran over with a flashlight.
As he got closer, the lights gradually illuminated Jiang Yining and Lu Zhi’s surroundings.
Jiang Yining felt that it was a little dazzling, so she raised her hand to cover the light and looked to her side at the same time.
Unexpectedly, she saw a person holding a knife and staring at Lu Zhi coldly.
She was alarmed.
She casually picked up something beside her and threw it at the man.
“Lu Zhi, be careful!”
Lu Zhi was alerted. He looked in her direction and his expression instantly turned murderous. He protected Jiang Yining with his arm and raised his leg to kick the person’s wrist.
Clang!
The knife fell to the ground.
Immediately after, Qi Feng rushed over and took him down.
Lu Zhi looked at Qi Feng and confirmed that the danger was over. He lowered his head and looked at Jiang Yining in his arms. “Are you okay?”
“I’m fine.”
He didn’t even touch her, so how could anything happen?
Jiang Yining shook her head.
Lu Zhi heaved a sigh of relief.
At the same time, the lighting in the villa was finally restored, and the hall was instantly brightly lit.
Qi Feng suppressed the villain.
Lu Zhi walked in front of him and removed the black cloth covering his face. When he saw who it was, his eyes narrowed. “It’s you, Qin Cheng.”
“Sir, please spare me. It was Miss Zhong who instructed me to do this. I didn’t want to kill you.”
Qin Cheng quickly begged for mercy.
Lu Zhi’s expression was cold. “Are you serious?”
“If I lie, let me be struck by lightning!” Qin Cheng looked around, looking for Zhong Sese’s figure, and finally saw her at the entrance of the stairs. “Miss Zhong, please explain it clearly to Sir.”
Zhong Sese smiled awkwardly. “I asked him to do this, but I also wanted you and Yining to reconcile..”
