Wen He knew deep down in her heart that Xiao Bai was a prickly pear—tough on the outside, soft on the inside .
They were now exposed because of Chen Jiu . She turned and left without waiting for Lu Bai to help her pack things up . Lu Bai heard the door slammed shut . He was startled . The next moment, he dropped sitting on the bed .
He took out six bullets from his trouser’s pocket and spread them on his palm . The day had finally come after living an ordinary for so long but revenge was tantamount to suicide .
Not long after, the doorbell rang . He immediately tucked the bullet and got up on his feet to answer the door .
Lu Bai peeked through the peephole and saw Lu Zhaoyang standing outside . He sorted himself out before opening the door . Lowering his head like a guilty kid, he said in a whisper, “Sister . ”
Earlier, Lu Zhaoyang had received a phone call from Yan Se at home saying that she lost Chen Jiu . So Lu Zhaoyang went to Huo Yunting .
If Huo Yunting knew that the assassin was related to Lu Bai, Huo Yunting would definitely not let him off .
“I am sorry for frightening you . ”
Lu Bai did not expect Chen Jiu would employ such a tactic to get him involved with the Huo family, forcing him to take revenge and deliberately exposing him .
“Say no more . Get out of here quickly . I don’t know why, although we have not known each other that well, I feel cordial towards you . I don’t want anything to happen to you . Go . And don’t come back!”
“Why should I go? I am not going . ”
He did not do anything; why should he go?
“Are you not afraid of dying? Yan Sai has told Huo Yunting what has just happened!” She clutched and pushed Lu Bai’s arm . “Listen to me . You still have time to pack your things . He may not be coming so fast!”
“Sister…”
“You should listen to me if you treat me as your sister . ”
In her eyes, Lu Bai was the little boy in singlet standing cluelessly in front of the meat freezers in the supermarket during the winter . It was the younger brother who had sent her ginger rice porridge when she fell sick .
Lu Zhaoyang had a strong feeling that he was not that kind of person . And she willfully believed that .
“Huo Yunting will not do anything to me . I was not the one who shot him . ”
Lu Bai just did not want to leave . It was not just because he had lived here for a long time but also because what if Huo Yunting got angry with his sister when he could not find him?
“All right, let’s assume Huo Yunting is reasonable, but I have heard from your earlier conversation that Huo Chen is also involved . He is also a state-level official who does things without fear or favor . Are you not leaving too?”
Lu Zhaoyang had noticed that the woman in the room was gone .
“I am not afraid . ” Lu Bai held her slender hand by the wrist with a harmless smile on his face . “Don’t worry about me . It will be fine . ”
Just then, Lu Zhaoyang heard footsteps behind her . She turned and saw Huo Yunting’s tall and slender figure with Huo Li behind him .
“You are fine, but I am not . ”
His charming eyes swept over the two of them—one clutching his arm and one holding her wrist . Huo Yunting immediately sensed danger .
“Come here . ” Huo Yunting raised his hand at Lu Zhaoyang .
Lu Zhaoyang quickly let off her hand, turned around and stood in front of Lu Bai .
“How is your arm?”
“Showing your concern for me to buy time for him—not bad!” Huo Yunting walked towards her . “Do you know who he is? How dare you stand in front of him . ”
She hurriedly stepped forward to prevent him from getting close to Lu Bai . “He did not hurt you . It was someone else who did it . Can you please let him go?”
