In a certain hotel.
The afterglow of the sunset shone on the ground.
One’s heart would ache at the flustered and gentle expression on Miss Zhou Yun’s face. The teenager in white felt his heart melting and he incessantly waved his hands.
“I’m fine, really.
“Yun-er.
“Don’t worry. My body is very tough and strong…”
However, at this moment.
A hand skimmed past him, seized the dagger and pushed it forward, stabbing Zhou Yun.
Poof!
Blood splattered everywhere.
Shush!
Time stopped.
The teenager in white widened his eyes and stared at Lu Ming, who was walking toward him.
“Well…
“Excuse me.”
Lu Ming felt very guilty. “Very few ladies would ask me to do this… I haven’t had such a chance in the past nor right now… Therefore, I couldn’t help it.”
The teenager was speechless.
Zhou Yun was speechless.
Damn it! Is this a reason for stabbing other people?!
“President!
The teenager in white was frustrated.
“Yun-er!
“Yun-er, are you alright?”
He went over to help Zhou Yun up.
“It’s alright.”
Zhou Yun’s face looked somewhat pale. “As long as you don’t pull…”
Pfft!
Lu Ming pulled out the dagger. There was another flash of blood. He then stared at Zhou Yun quizzically, “What did you want to say?”
Zhou Yun was speechless.
The teenager was speechless.
“President!
The teenager in white was in tears. “She really didn’t do it on purpose! Don’t be like that!”
“Okay, okay, okay.”
Lu Ming sighed. “You guys can continue… You guys can continue.”
“Yun-er, are you alright?”
A ball of energy emerged from the hands of the teenager in white. He pressed both his hands on the girl. Gentle healing energy dissipated and her injuries gradually stabilized.
“I-its nothing.”
Although Zhou Yun’s face was pale, she felt very grateful. “We’re even now.”
“You…”
“Silly girl.”
The teenager’s heart ached.
Afterward, he stared at Lu Ming angrily. “President, I know that you are doing this for my own good. But can you please not mess around? Yun-er didn’t do it on purpose!
“Besides…
“My physique is now very strong and my muscles solid. One accidental injury won’t cause me any harm.”
The teenager’s heart ached. “She’s frail and may become seriously wounded.”
“It’s okay. She has the speed bump,” Lu Ming consoled.
Speed bump?
The teenager instinctively glanced at Zhou Yun’s injury and his face darkened instantly. Afterward, he turned around and ignored the president.
He was too infuriating!
“I’m really fine.”
Zhou Yun shook her head.
Her pallid complexion evoked one’s feelings of love and sympathy.
“Lu Ming…
“You’re Lu Ming, right?”
Zhou Yun said weakly, “I-I came to Tian Du City to look for you.”
“Look for me?”
Lu Ming was surprised.
He had thought that this girl would deliberately conceal this information and then stir up trouble secretly. Unexpectedly, she spoke her mind that openly.
“Yes, yes.”
A trace of radiance emerged on Zhou Yun’s pale face. Her eyes also brightened.
She was that dazzling.
“I… looked you up.
“Therefore, I specially rushed to Tian Du City to seek your help.”
Zhou Yun was excited.
“Look, I told you that she hurt me by mistake,” the teenager held Zhou Yun up and told Lu Ming proudly.
“Sorry.”
Lu Ming felt somewhat guilty.
Perhaps he had been too wary?
Well….
Since this lady had come there to seek help, he should not be bothered about her past. If he could help her to resolve the problem, she might join the association.
“How can I help you?”
Lu Ming asked.
“Well…
Zhou Yun said excitedly.
However, it only lasted for a moment.
All of a sudden, the young girl’s excited expression became cold and indifferent. In that moment, the joyful and excited look in her eyes also transformed into endless cold and aloofness.
Swoosh!
A beam of cold light streaked towards Lu Ming.
Bang!
There was a crisp and clear sound.
The Original Card appeared in front of Lu Ming and blocked the attack.
“True enough…”
Lu Ming sneered coldly.
“Yun-er!
“What are you doing?”
The teenager’s expression changed drastically.
Obviously…
He could not understand why Zhou Yun had suddenly attacked! A while ago, she had said she came to Tian Du City to look for Lu Ming.
Don’t tell me she is here to kill Lu Ming?!
Wait a minute.
Assassin…
Assassination…
He seemed to have pieced the puzzle together!
But there was no hunt. Perhaps she was just putting up a show! Zhou Yun’s motive was to use him and then assassinate the president of the Sword Card Master Association!!!
As for him…
He was just a tool that had been used!
At the thought of this…
His entire body suddenly turned cold.
Why…
Why did things turn out like that?
“Get lost!”
Zhou Yun pushed him away coldly.
Shush!
Cold lights flashed.
Her cold and chilling dagger dashed toward Lu Ming.
Lu Ming sneered. Zhou Yun was also a five-star. He was not afraid of her regardless of how powerful she was. Furthermore, this lady had been stabbed earlier.
However, just as Zhou Yun’s dagger shuttled toward him…
A figure flashed in front of Lu Ming. Suddenly, the teenager in white was blocking Lu Ming.
Pfft!
Zhou Yun’s dagger penetrated the body of the teenager again.
Lu Ming was speechless.
Zhou Yun was speechless.
“Are you looking for death?”
Zhou Yun’s tone was cold and icy.
“I…”
“I can’t let you kill the President.
“President followed me because he was worried. He is a good person. I-I don’t want him to die because of me. This absolutely can’t happen!”
The teenager in white had a determined gaze.
Even if he were to die, he had no regrets!
“President”.
The teenager in white glanced at Lu Ming. “Hurry! Leave!”
Lu Ming was dumbstruck.
It was true.
The teenager was willing to sacrifice his life to save him!
It was so touching!
However, if you don’t block me, her dagger won’t touch me… I am a dignified president. Do you think I can’t beat a lady who is still bleeding?!
My dear lad, you have to consider the situation objectively even during a self-sacrifice?!
Leave?
Bullshit!
Lu Ming was between laughter and tears.
Shush!
He raised his hand. Cold beams flashed and the Original Card killed Zhou Yun on the spot. The Lightning Slash that he had been mounting for a long time erupted in the sky, streaking across traces of lightning.
Buzz—
Lights flashed.
The Original Card skimmed across the air, forming a perfect arc and landing on…
A figure appeared.
Pfft!
A trace of blood appeared on the teenager in white again.
This was true.
He appeared in front of Zhou Yun and blocked the blow for her.
Lu Ming was speechless.
Zhou Yun was speechless.
“Are you mad?”
Lu Ming was between laughter and tears.
“Perhaps.”
The teenager in white was silent. “President… Please don’t fight… I can’t let you kill her. I… After all, I have loved her for many years…
“She is always in my dreams.
“I know she used me but…
“I can’t watch her die.
“Stop fighting, please?” the teenager pleaded.
Lu Ming was silent.
Separated by the teenager in white, he and Zhou Yun’s murderous intents collided.
“You should be telling her this?”
Lu Ming sighed.
“Yun-er?”
The teenager turned around.
However…
He only saw a cold glare.
“Get lost!” the young lady hollered furiously and dashed toward Lu Ming.
“Again?”
Lu Ming sneered coldly.
Shush!
Cold beams of lights streaked across the room.
Pfft!
Two streaks of blood drifted in the sky.
The teenager in white appeared in between the two again. The dagger and the Original Card landed on each of his pectoralis major and fresh blood spurted from the wounds.
Zhou Yun was speechless.
Lu Ming was speechless.
Teenager, what kind of demon are you?!
Pfft!
The teenager in white spewed blood.
At this moment…
His entire body was bleeding and Lu Ming could not bear to continue.
This child…
“Yun-er.
“Please stop.
“I’ll give you the reward for your mission, alright…
“Double, triple or even ten times the amount… Don’t kill the President, please…” the teenager pleaded.
“Get lost!”
Zhou Yun had a cold and chilling expression.
Clenching the dagger with her hands, she was already impatient.
“I…
“I can’t let you do this.”
The teenager in white said weakly, “I-I like you. I have liked you for a long time. Since the day we chatted in the field…
“I made an oath.
“I-I must marry you in the future…”
Pfft!
He spewed another mouthful of blood, staining his shirt.
“You…”
Zhou Yun’s furrowed glabella suddenly eased and a look of heartache emerged on her face. However, she became cold and indifferent again soon after. She then struggled and felt her heart ache again.
Damn!
Lu Ming felt chills up his spine.
Could it be that… this lady is the inheritor of the Sichuan Opera Face-Changing Legacy!
Xiao-Xiaojian was silent.
Suddenly, it very much wanted to hack Lu Ming into tiny pieces.
This was such a serious occasion. Could he not mess around?!
“You…”
At this moment, Zhou Yun’s expression looked very strange.
Lu Ming scanned his sense of perception and was surprised to discover that this lady’s eyes had two different expressions. Her left eye was as cold and indifferent as ice and her right eye was as gentle as water.
“This lady…”
Lu Ming squinted his eyes.
It was interesting.
Seemingly, he was seeing something spectacular.
“Xiao-Xiaojian,” Lu Ming muttered in a low voice.
“Understood.”
Xiao-Xiaojian understood.
Hence, just as the young couple was staging a cliché romance drama, Lu Ming made a decisive move.
Shush!
The cold beams of light emerged again.
Xiao-Xiaojian bypassed the teenager’s body and dashed toward Zhou Yun.
Click!
Zhou Yun retaliated mercilessly.
The dagger in her hands blocked the attack of the Original Card easily. Just at this moment, Lu Ming moved forward and raised his hand without any hesitation.
Bam!
There was a crisp and clear sound.
Lu Ming slapped the young lady’s face.
Bam!
Zhou Yun lost her footing and felt dizzy all over. She became disorientated. She fell into a trance for a moment. When she opened her eyes again, her eyes were filled with gentleness.
She held onto the teenager, who was covered in blood, in front of her.
“Are you a fool?”
Zhou Yun’s heart ached. “Why are you that foolish?”
“Y-you guys… are not fighting anymore?”
The teenager was puzzled.
What is happening?
He was already prepared for the worst. Afterward, he saw the president slap Miss Yun-er and then Miss Yun-er became very gentle…
Huh???
He had a hunch that something was not quite right?!
He took a closer look. Half of her face was swollen!!! Miss Yun-er did not seem to mind at all! Could it be that she liked the President’s ‘wild’ style?
“I’m not fighting him anymore.”
Zhou Yun’s heart ached.
What a fool!
This fool!
Since she had come to look for Lu Ming, she was long prepared.
She was clever and quick-witted. Of course, she was prepared to be defeated by Lu Ming. It was impossible for her to defeat Lu Ming given her current state!
If she were to fail…
This was the real reason that she came to look for Lu Ming.
She believed that Lu Ming was smart enough to understand what had happened and then help her to resolve problem, even though she had to pay a price for it!
Despite considering all the factors, she did not expect that the fool who sent her daily messages of ‘drink more warm water’ would be silly to that extent!
He was so foolish that her heart ached for him.
“I-I knew it…”
The teenager looked at Lu Ming. “President, please forgive her.”
Lu Ming rolled his eyes and said unhappily, “That isn’t the main problem. Go and treat your wounds first. Are you competing on who is losing more blood?”
“Thank you.”
Zhou Yun was grateful.
She was the only one who knew that the President seemed to have seen something. The slap just now…
She touched the left side of her face, which was slightly swollen.
“I…”
“I’ll look for you later,” she said with a low voice.
“Okay.”
Lu Ming nodded slightly.
The teenager in white was at a loss.
Although he was still bleeding and severely wounded, he could tell that the plot was not developing in the right direction…
Look for him?
This plot… Why did it resemble the small movie which he had secretly watched with his classmates the last time?
The kind that had a plot!!!
This was so infuriating!
“Yun-er.”
The teenager struggled and said, “Actually, I know how to hit people too. If you like…”
Zhou Yun looked at him with slight ridicule.
This child…
Did he become stupid after being stabbed?
“I think he lost too much blood.”
Lu Ming sighed.
“Perhaps.”
Zhou Yun’s heart ached even more.
The teenager was speechless.
At this very moment…
Bang!
A deafening sound was heard.
“Who is that?”
The group was instantly on its guard.
Bang!
The walls of the hotel’s courtyard suddenly collapsed. A group of policemen rushed in and surrounded the entire building. Immediately after, a policeman raised the loudspeaker in his hands.
“Everyone inside, listen! All of you have been surrounded!
“Don’t put up a stubborn resistance!
“This is Tian Du City!
“Don’t hope for an error on our part. Surrender quickly!”
Shush!
The energy bulwark appeared.
The policemen closed in in an orderly manner.
“What is happening?”
The teenager was puzzled.
Lu Ming said unhappily. “This is a hotel in the city center! It is impossible to successfully assassinate anyone here!”
This was the city center.
Unless the gap in ability between the two parties was enormous to the extent of causing instant death, this was what would happen!
In less than two minutes, the policemen would break down the doors and come in.
“Oh.”
The teenager understood then.
“What should we do?”
Zhou Yun looked at Lu Ming. “Why don’t I surrender to the police?”
“It’s alright.”
Lu Ming sighed. “I have some prestige here.”
With that, he walked to the doors. “I’m Lu Ming, the president of the Sword Card Master Association. There was a misunderstanding earlier. You guys can come in. Everything is alright now.”
Everything is alright now?
The policemen looked around. Indeed, that seemed to be the case.
Hence…
They entered the hotel gingerly.
In one corner, They saw two people covered in blood.
“They?…” the police asked.
“It’s a misunderstanding.”
Lu Ming explained, “These two kids were playing around and some misunderstanding occurred between them.”
The police felt perplexed.
He looked at the stab wounds on the teenager in white. Although they had been covered, blood was still oozing out from them. And the young lady…
“So…
“You’re telling me that the few of you were having fun by stabbing each other in the hotel?”
The policeman was expressionless.
“Can’t we do that?”
Lu Ming looked calm and collected.
“Hehe.”
The policeman sneered. “Are you insulting my intelligence?”
Hence, he waved his hands and was prepared to arrest them. However, just at this moment, he received a call from his team leader. “I’ve already heard about the situation. Abort the operation and come back.”
“Team leader?”
The policeman felt puzzled. Obviously, there was something fishy going on…
“Abort it. Our organization’s building was just refurbished this year. I don’t want anything to happen to it.”
“But…”
“There is no need to hesitate. You don’t need to get to the bottom of some things. The youngsters nowadays have a good life and always love to do different things.”
“Huh?? Impossible.”
The policeman did not dare believe it.
“That’s not all.”
The team leader sighed. “You are too inexperienced. Alright, I will deploy you to the anti-vice division for a month starting tomorrow…
“Believe me.
“Young man, your horizons will be widened…”
“Huh?”
