Lu Dong and Lu Xi, who had come with Lu Qi, were holding onto Chen Jin.
“Please spare me, I… I was just possessed for a moment.”
Lu Qi listened to Chen Jin’s quibble indifferently, emitting a cold aura throughout. He looked up the next second and saw a girl walking towards him along the peach blossom trees.
The young girl’s face was even warmer and brighter under the contrast of the pink peach blossoms. She was cheerful but not ostentatious.
Wasn’t this the fake daughter he met at the banquet? He didn’t think he would actually see her again here.
However…
Such a pretty girl was holding a hoe and a shovel in one hand, and a mud-colored bag in the other hand. Furthermore, it was late at night.
When Chen Jin saw this, he took two steps back in fear. “This… you even found someone to bury me?”
Lu Qi:”…”
He wouldn’t go so far as to look for a girl, right?
Cheng Ling’s steps weren’t small, and she walked as if there was a gust of wind beneath her feet. Very quickly, she arrived in front of these men.
The wind made Cheng Ling’s bangs a little messy. She used the back of her clean hand to touch them.
“Big brothers, what are you guys doing here?” The back of the mountain was exceptionally quiet. Cheng Ling’s voice was extremely clear and pleasant to hear, but her words made people be at a loss for a reaction.
Lu Dong and Lu Xi glanced at Lu Qi, who was hiding in the shadows.
The young master was only twenty-two years old, but he was actually called Big Brother. Hahahahaha!
Of course, they only dared to be ecstatic in their hearts. On the surface, they were still very calm, their expressions managed very well.
Lu Qi slowly walked out of the shadows. Only then did Cheng Ling see that this person was actually the man from the Lu family who had just brushed past her. His skin was even paler under the pure white streetlight.
His facial features were distinct, and his temperament was cold. He was very tall, and Cheng Ling was only as tall as his shoulder.
With Cheng Ling’s many years of medical experience, this man seemed to be sick.
Lu Qi looked around, and there was nothing else except for an old-looking villa.
This fake daughter of the Cheng family would definitely not have found this place inexplicably, so there was only one possibility — Cheng Ling had followed him here.
The strange thing was that he did not notice the footsteps of Cheng Ling behind him. What kind of trick was this fake daughter hiding? Could it be that she was here to save Chen Jin?
Thinking of this, Lu Qi’s distant eyes were immediately filled with killing intent.
When he lowered his eyes and looked up again, he had already returned to normal, but Lu Dong and Lu Xi were still very keenly aware of their master’s guard against the girl.
“Good evening, Miss Cheng.”
Lu Qi’s voice was very pleasant to the ears. It reminded Cheng Ling of the clear stream that she had passed by when she went to pick medicinal herbs. Ding, Ding, Dong. It was also very pleasant to the ears.
Cheng Ling raised her head to look at him, but the man’s lips were almost devoid of blood.
Therefore, Cheng Ling, who practiced medicine to help the world, decisively said, “Are you sick?”
…
The sombre atmosphere suddenly disappeared. An oriole perched on an unknown tree chirped.
“Hahaha! !”
“Hahaha, I can’t hold it in anymore! Young… Young Master Lu, she said you are sick, hahaha! !”As the leader of the Lu family’s secret guards, Lu Dong had always been the one with the lowest laughing point. Although he knew that the situation was not right, he could not hold it in.
Only then did Cheng Ling notice the existence of the others.
Lu Qi turned his head and glanced at Lu Dong lightly. Lu Dong’s laughter stopped abruptly.
When Chen Jin saw Cheng Ling, it was as if he had seen his savior. In front of this soft and cute girl, Lu Qi could not possibly do anything cruel to him, right!
With a “PA”, he knelt in front of Lu Qi.
Big Brother, if you want to kneel, then kneel down on the cement floor, okay? ! Why are you kneeling on my mud! Cheng Ling’s heart began to breakdown.
“Young Master Lu, I beg you, please just spare my life this time! I’ve worked for the Lu family for so many years, even if I don’t have any merits, it’s still hard work. Moreover, I have my elders and children. If anything happens to me, what will happen to my family? !”
Chen Jin begged with snot and tears running down his face.
Lu Qi suddenly laughed. His smile was very gentle, giving him a scholarly air.
“This is not something I can decide. Master Lu said to deal with you this way. As master Lu’s assistant, there’s nothing I can do. But don’t worry, after you die, we will help you take good care of your family’s elders and children.”
Chen Jin was stunned on the spot —
What assistant?
Who was the assistant?
This Lu Qi in front of him, who could turn the clouds into rain with a flip of his hand and shake the entire capital with a flick of his finger?
