Chapter 225: Poisoned
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lin Lu was holding Luo Ying down. The blade of a dagger was less than five centimeters from her face.
“Today, you die.” Lin Lu had a terrible grin on her face as she slowly played with the dagger.
There was a clear liquid on the dagger. Luo Ying guessed that it was poison.
“Lin Lu, there’s no way out for you. Even if you kill me, where does that take you? Lu Wen is now in charge of the Lin Family. It doesn’t matter how many people you kill for him, he’s not going to hand the family back to you,” Luo Ying said.
Luo Ying knew some martial arts, but her hands and feet didn’t seem to be responding to her. Even if she mustered all her strength, she could only move Lin Lu a few centimeters away from her.
“Just quit struggling.” Lin Lu’s face was twisted, and a strange smile was showing at the corner of her mouth.
“I’m the one who drugged you. You won’t be able to move, so you can only watch as this dagger slides into your body.”
Luo Ying ignored her and continued struggling.
Lin Lu continued to threaten her with the dagger, but something seemed to be stopping her from actually hurting her.
Luo Ying caught the sight of a vase next to her. She might be able to use it as a weapon.
But it was a one-shot deal.
She looked at Lin Lu and tried to think of something to say. “Lin Lu, your younger brother is the one who sold the Lin Group to Lu Wen. You should be pointing that poison at him.”
“Cut the nonsense. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be here.” Lin Lu was determined. She raised the dagger and prepared to bring it down.
Luo Ying saw an opening right away and reached for the vase on the bedside table.
She grabbed the vase quickly and threw it at Lin Lu’s head.
Lin Lu was quick to react. She tilted her head to avoid the brunt of the impact, but the vase still fell and hit her back.
The vase shattered into pieces, which showered all over Lin Lu’s body. Some of the small pieces cut her up. Her old T-shirt became drenched in blood. Red lines that looked like red spider lilies traced down her body. It was a terrible sight.
“Luo Ying, you!” Lin Lu yelled and ran over to Luo Ying. She thrust the dagger at her.
Luo Ying desperately raised her hands up to defend herself. Suddenly, someone kicked Lin Lu to the ground.
Luo Ying was shocked. When she looked up, she saw Lu Zhao.
Lin Lu fell to the ground heavily. She held her chest and panted, but she still had the dagger in her hand.
“Lin Lu, put that down if you don’t want things to get worse. I’ll let you return to the city alive,” Lu Zhao said coldly.
“Do you think I’d believe that?” Lin Lu laughed manically. “You have no reason to let me go.”
Luo Ying felt Lu Zhao’s embrace tighten. She moved into Lu Zhao’s arms and gave him a hug. “Just leave her. She’s not worth it. The knife is poisoned. We need to leave right away.”
Lu Zhao gave Luo Ying a pat on the head. “Be good. I’ll catch up soon.”
Luo Ying turned away.
At that moment, Lin Lu saw an opportunity. She got to her feet and rushed over with the dagger.
Lu Zhao stood in front of Luo Ying to shield her and tried to push Lin Lu away.
At that moment, there was the sound of bullets slicing through the air. The window broke with a loud crash and the pieces fell all over the ground.
Lu Zhao could not react in the time and got hit in the shoulder.
The blood sent Luo Ying back to the past in the sanatorium. She fought back the bile in her stomach when she saw the bright red.
She only remembered tightening her grip on Lu Zhao’s clothes because she wanted to see his wound and help him stop bleeding.
She passed out in the next second.
When Luo Ying woke up, she was in the hospital.
Jin Shi sat beside the bed. He bolted to his feet to call the doctor.
Luo Ying grabbed Jin Shi’s arm and stopped him. “Lu Zhao, how is Lu Zhao? Is he hurt?”
Jin Shi sighed deeply. “Why are you still thinking about that cold-hearted man?”
Luo Ying was surprised.. Cold-hearted man?
