Chapter 384
Lu Zhaoyang looked into Lu Bai’s eyes inquisitively but also with a look of disappointment .
Lu Bai was not the weak young man she imagined him to be . In fact, he seemed like someone with hidden skills .
He certainly looked concerned for her, but Lu Zhaoyang could not forget what he had threatened to do to save her .
Was he… sincerely trying to befriend her?
“What are you all really up to?”
She had to pose the question . She could not simply ignore the matter because she actually believed in their friendship .
She hated lies and betrayal and hoped that he would not disappoint her .
Before Lu Bai could reply, Wen He interrupted them with a chuckle . “I see… So this is the woman that Officer Huo is interested in . Interesting . ”
“What do you mean? Who is Officer Huo, and who are you all really?”
Her hands clenched tightly as she studied them warily .
They are certainly not ordinary people!
“We are Z Country residents!” Wen He combed a hand through her hair .
“You, go inside!” Lu Bai said to her, then turned to Lu Zhaoyang . “Big sis, I…”
“Are you involved in Huo Yunting’s injury?”
Wen He interrupted again . “Lu Bai has got nothing to do with that . It’s all the doings of that man who left earlier . Little miss, our dear Bai here cares about you every day . You should not accuse him of anything . Besides, he just threatened a very good brother of his just now to save you!”

The lights in the corridor were dim . Lu Bai stood at the door of his apartment against the light from inside .
Lu Zhaoyang stood in his shadow, unable to ascertain his expression .
“Well, if everything is fine, I am heading back to make dinner . ”
She needed time to calm down . Lu Bai was not as innocent as he seemed to be .
To think that the man who shot Huo Yunting was a good friend of his…
She wondered how Yan Se was doing now as she went downstairs, back to her own apartment .
When she was out of sight, Lu Bai turned to Wen He, who was still smiling eagerly, and dragged her into the house . He slammed the door shut and looked at her coldly .

“You all did that on purpose . ”
“Even if it’s on purpose, it was Chen Jiu’s idea . I had nothing to do with it . ”
“And how is that?” Lu Bai took out his gun and gave it a twirl . “Do the both of you really want me to continue tinkering with this?”
“Not really . The three of us are what is left of the organization . If we can’t do anything grand anymore, we might as well continue our lives peacefully . However, I do think that it’s a waste of your skills if you simply quit . After all, you are a weapons design expert . ” Wen He looked at him toying with the gun . “Are you interested in modifying that?”
“This is not necessary for us to live peaceful lives . ”
Lu Bai threw a quick glance at her and removed the bullets from the gun with familiar motions .
There were six bullets in the gun . If Chen Jiu had really fired at Lu Zhaoyang, he would never forgive himself .

“We just want to get along with our lives, but Officer Huo might not let us . ” Wen He looked at the bullets lying in his hand, all engraved with the letter “L” .
These were bullets from the organization . Now that the organization ceased to exist, what use were these bullets for?
It might be enough to kill everyone in the Huo family, though .
“Do you want to die?” Lu Bai pocketed the bullets and headed for the bedroom .
“What do you mean?”
“Now that this has happened, we are exposed . This place is not safe anymore . ” Lu Bai opened the wardrobe and started packing her things .
If Lu Zhaoyang told Huo Chen or Huo Yunting about this, their lives were as sure as forfeited .
