"Plunk," a big fish splashed into the lake, water spraying everywhere! Everyone was taken aback as they watched Luo Ye, not understanding why she pushed Wen Yan into the water, especially since the mid-October temperature was quite cool.
"Ye’er, what... what happened?" Wen Ke looked at Luo Ye in astonishment, while Wen Su and Luo Feng quickly grabbed Wen Yan who swam to the shore.
Before Luo Ye could answer, Wen Yan raised the fish in his hand and laughed: "Ye’er deliberately pushed me in to catch a fish, right? Look, right where Ye’er pushed me into the water, this big carp happened to swim by, haha..."
"Haha..." Luo Ye forced a smile, but her heart was filled with alarm. She had clearly seen a bullet flying towards Wen Yan just now, shocked not only that someone wanted to assassinate Wen Yan, but also by her own terrifying vision.
When she saw the bullet, it should have just left the barrel from the opposite mountaintop, but when she tried to look at the distant mountains just now, she couldn’t see them clearly at all.
That is to say, she only had this sense for bullets, and this sensation seemed to come from the mark on her forehead, the same place she was shot once. She felt like it was all a dreamlike realization, but since she had been reborn, it wasn’t odd for the scar on her forehead to sense bullets!
The crucial question was: why would someone want to assassinate Wen Yan? Was it targeted at Wen Yan or the Wen Family? Did Grandpa know about this? Luo Ye’s mind was suddenly a mess.
"Ye’er, what exactly happened?" Luo Feng, who knew his sister’s character well, immediately sensed something was wrong with her.
"Yeah, Ye’er, what happened?" Although Wen Ke didn’t understand Luo Ye very well, she felt that based on Luo Ye’s previous behavior, her actions just now were too abrupt. Plus, she clearly saw the shock in Luo Ye’s eyes when she pushed Wen Yan, as if Luo Ye had suddenly seen something terrifying. But when she looked around, she didn’t see anything?
"Let’s get out of here first. Big cousin, you and I will retreat back-to-back!"
"Sister Ye’er, what’s wrong with you? It’s not the sequelae from watching too many movies..." Wen Nan, who was teasing Luo Ye with a snicker, was immediately silenced by Luo Ye’s cold glance and obediently took Wen Ke’s hand: "Sister, let’s lead the way in front."
Just a few steps away, eight strong men in black clothes quickly surrounded them from all directions, automatically protecting everyone in the center, "Young masters and misses, speed up."
The faces that were half-doubtful became serious. These men were elites among elites, and their sudden approach definitely meant something was amiss.
After some thought, Wen Yan instructed: "Retreat to the side courtyard."
Luo Ye was attentively sensing everything around her, but the earlier chilling sensation never reappeared. However, she dared not let down her guard. Not until they settled down inside the hall of the side courtyard did Luo Ye breathe a sigh of relief. The eight men deeply bowed to Luo Ye without saying anything and then left.
"Ye’er, tell us now, what exactly happened." Wen Yan changed his gentle demeanor from before, becoming tense like a leopard ready to pounce.
"Alright, I won’t hide it from you. The moment I stood up just now, I saw a bullet flying straight towards big cousin. I know this sounds bizarre, but my premonition of danger has always been more accurate than others, and my vision is extraordinary.
At that moment, operating under the principle it’s better to believe it and be wrong than disbelieve and be right, I pushed big cousin over. Afterwards, I recalled the incident and am certain I wasn’t mistaken!"
Wen Yan nodded: "Ye’er, I believe you, because the eight who showed up just now have a stronger sense of danger than others. Of course, they are also equipped with special devices. I believe they must have detected the bullet’s trace which is why they rushed over."
Luo Ye furrowed her brows: "Has something happened before?"
"It has, but for the last few years, although there has been open rivalry and secret scheming among the major families, none would resort to such despicable means. This incident, nine out of ten, is still that family’s doing. I must go to Grandpa immediately. Ye’er, thank you for today. Big cousin will remember this favor. By the way, Ye’er, would you like to come along?"
"No need for formalities among family. I’d rather not, given it’s only my first day here and I don’t understand anything that’s going on—acting rashly isn’t in my character.
If necessary, Grandpa will surely seek me out. If he doesn’t want the Luo Family to get involved, he will definitely not let a word of this incident slip to us."
Wen Nan moved next to Luo Ye, chuckling as he tugged at her sleeve: "Sister Ye’er, I admire you so much, I’ll follow you from now on."
