“Huo Chen killed so many of our men. You expect me to kill only one of theirs? No way. His entire family must die! By the way, did you just say the woman’s name was Lu Zhaoyang?”
Chen Jiu kicked on the white wall. When he thought of Huo Chen, he suddenly smiled.
“Lu Zhaoyang is the stepdaughter of the Huo family and Huo Chen’s first love. So, it is not wrong to kill her.”
Before Lu Bai could say anything, Chen Jiu suddenly heard something.
“See you next time. Someone is coming.”
“Wait, Wen He is still alive. I will ask her to meet you!”
If Wen He knew the identity of Lu Zhaoyang, she might harm her.
Lu Bai could not believe that there could be such a coincidence in this world—the lady downstairs was the stepdaughter of the Huo family and Huo Chen’s first love, and the thing he saw this morning.
There seemed to be something going on between Lu Zhaoyang and Huo Yunting.
“Oh, there are still three survivors in our organization. Not bad. We can fight back.” Chen Jiu was leaving as footsteps were getting closer and closer.
“Xiao Bai, for the sake of our brotherhood, cover me,” Chen Jiu said while moving away.
“I will, as long as you spare Lu Zhaoyang and Huo Yunting’s life. Think about it; could you escape if it is Huo Yunting’s men coming?”
Lu Bai asked calmly.
Chen Jiu’s lips curled up as he gestured and mouthed an okay.
Chen Jiu fudged. He was not a man of his word. He just needed to finish off Huo Chen, and the rest of the Huo family would follow.
Lu Bai picked up his shopping bag and turned to walk in the direction where footsteps were heard coming.
Chen Jiu hid under the shade of the wall to avoid the surveillance camera. He was tense.
Huo Yunting’s reaction was fast. Had he not seen Lu Bai there, he would have escaped a long time ago.
The voice of Lu Bai talking with others came. Chen Jiu crawled on the floor under a row of cars.
“Damn it! There has never been such humiliation.” Chen Jiu thought to himself.
Lu Bai looked at the bodyguards in black before him and said in a calm voice. “I know Brother Ting, he asked me to go first.”
He was not worried that they would check the surveillance footage; Huo Yunting was with him this morning.
The bodyguards exchanged a look with each other, searched Lu Bai, but did not let him go. “No one is allowed to leave.”
Lu Bai saw a shadow flashing past the corner of the wall; he guessed that Chen Jiu must have gotten away safely.
“No problem. I will cooperate.”

Meanwhile, Lu Zhaoyang and Huo Yunting had arrived at the hospital. She watched as Huo Yunting was carted into the operating theater. He was pale and arm drenched in his own blood.
She stood outside the operating room and looked down at herself. Blood had dyed her white dress red.
Huo Yunting had lost a lot of blood.
She looked at the blood in her palms, her mind went blank. Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat as she heard the door of the operating theater swung open.
They had sent Huo Yunting in not long ago. Why were they coming out so fast?
The nurse looked at Lu Zhaoyang and shook her head.
What did the nurse mean?
Lu Zhaoyang tripped and almost tumbled to the floor.
She did not believe that Huo Yunting died just like this.
“Doctor, how is he?” Lu Zhaoyang asked, her eyes were bloodshot. She struggled to balance herself before running toward the doctor.
She did not realize how sad and messy she looked now.
“The bullet scraped past and punctured the artery. He will be fine as soon as we stop the bleeding. I am going to the blood bank!” The nurse hurried away.
Thank heavens, Huo Yunting was alright.
