A gun? Luo Ying frowned.
It was almost impossible to get your hands on a gun here. Lu Wen could not be underestimated. He had to have a very powerful backing.
It’s likely that Old Master Lu was not working alone.
“You must be Luo Ying. I lied. I never managed to escape him. If anything, he sent me a message to deliver to you.”
Luo Ying looked about suspiciously.
“What do you mean?” she asked.
“Lu Wen said he wants to meet you very much.” A gunshot rang out shortly after Zhou Yuan made this statement.
Jin Shi sprang to his feet and shoved Luo Ying to the floor. Three gunshots entered through the glass simultaneously.
The glass struck the ground in a spiderweb of shards.
Zhou Yuan took a bullet in his arm. Oddly, he did not seem to notice it. Instead, he was clutching his throat in anguish.
Jin Shi glanced at Zhou Yuan. Zhou Yuan’s eyes were bloodshot. His face was pale. He slammed his head violently against the wall before falling unconscious.
Both Luo Ying and Jin Shi exchanged glances.
The bullet wound should not have caused such a reaction. Instead, his appearance was consistent with poisoning.
Jin Shi got in touch with a physician and had Zhou Yuan admitted.
As Jin Shi left the hospital, Luo Ying watched from outside. She extended a hand and Jin Shi received the coffee.
There was a waft of coffee in the air.
“This poison is supposedly a combination of two different kinds of poison. Alone, they are harmless. But together…” Just as Jin Shi opened his lips to speak, Luo Ying immediately grasped the meaning of his words.
“I know.” Luo Ying looked down.
“Lu Wen, that pampered little shit…” Jin Shi looked grim.
“Lu Zhao has already been injected with the first part of this poison,” Luo Ying said.
“What?” Jin Shi almost sprang to his feet in alarm.
“Let’s get out of here, Luo Ying,” Jin Shi growled.
Luo Ying chuckled. “What’s the matter? Have you figured out how to go back to our home?”
Jin Shi shook his head firmly. “Now that Lu Wen is also involved in this chaotic battle, it’s going to be difficult for us to stay out of it.”
It was obvious that Old Master Lu was going for Lu Zhao, so he had to have approved Lu Wen’s actions.
It was a fight to the death within the family. Having Luo Ying used as a weapon in their conflict was the last thing Jin Shi wanted.
“There are many similarities between this planet and the one we came from.
Let’s go away from everyone else and start over. Stay away from them; they’re trouble.”
If Lu Wen ever got a single drop of this poison into Luo Ying, it would be the end.
Jin Shi stopped speaking. He seemed to realize something. When it came to Lu Zhao, Luo Ying would never give up.
Luo Ying shook her head and grinned at Lu Zhao. “Of course we should get out of this mess, but I will never leave Lu Zhao.’
Luo Ying was well aware of the situation, yet she still found it impossible to separate herself from Lu Zhao.
“I’ve been meaning to ask you this, Luo Ying. Would you consider returning if the opportunity arose?” Jin Shi looked directly into Luo Ying’s eyes, searching for an answer.
“Third Brother.” Luo Ying remained undecided.
Since Jin Shi’s arrival in this world, he has avoided developing deep relationships with its inhabitants.
Even if the world he had lived in was an illusion and this one was the true one, all of his memories proved otherwise.
When he met Luo Ying, he redoubled his efforts in getting them out of here as soon as possible.
“Luo Ying, Lu Wen is out to get you.” Jin Shi sighed.
“Yes, I’m aware of it. But I won’t make it easy for him,” Luo Ying said.
Jin Shi stared directly into Luo Ying’s eyes. She was not going to back down. His sister had always acted this way. When she put her mind to anything, nothing would change her mind.
Jin Shi sighed deeply. “Fine. Let’s do this.”
Luo Ying turned to her brother, her expression brimming with appreciation.
“I appreciate it, Third Brother.”
In the midst of their conversation, her phone rang. Luo Ying’s eyes widened at the name on the screen.
It was the number she had provided for Su Su..
