nZi Yi wanted to say that she could deal with these people.

nBut when she turned to look at the calm-looking Lu Jingye, who dragged her along when he ran, she suddenly changed her mind and decided to act like a quiet little girl.

nAfter they ran for some time, Lu Jingye’s footsteps slowed down and he checked up on her. “Are you tired? Can you still run?”

nThere were no lights in the vicinity nor was there any light from the moon tonight. There was only a slight illumination from the bright lights in the city.

nZi Yi responded with a hum and asked, “Do you encounter such situations often?”

n“No. Today is an accident… sorry.”

nZi Yi thought about the so-called ‘accident’. It should be due to the fact that they decided on this route, or perhaps the traffic accident that happened was deliberately arranged.

nShe did not inquire further. She used her mental powers to survey the vicnicity and discovered someone with a strong killing intent not too far away from them.

nJust then, Lu Jingye pulled her wrist and continued walking.

nZi Yi reminded him. “I can walk on my own.”

nLu Jingye released her hand and motioned to her. “Follow closely behind me.”

n“Got it.”

nThe two navigated their way through the abandoned estate with one in the front and the other behind.

nThe buildings here were yet to be demolished and there were no street lights either. It had been ages since anyone cared for the vegetation in the surroundings and under the dim light, even the wind that blew seemed to be threatening. In addition, the surroundings were so quiet that only their footsteps could be heard.

nIt was as if they had walked into an uninhabited island.

nJust then, Zi Yi heard the whistling sound of someone moving at a fast speed.

nShe subconsciously bumped against Lu Jingye and he took a big step forward.

nSomething then ran into the bush on the side.

nLu Jingye turned and looked at her.

nZi Yi pointed to a corner and said in all seriousness, “A rat ran past earlier, which scared me.”

nLu Jingye nodded, took out a gun, and continued to lead her forward.

nZi Yi looked at the black thing in his hands and curiously asked, “Is that a gun?”

nIt was a real antique!

nShe wanted to touch it.

nLu Jingye acknowledged her and suddenly said, “Be careful.”

nShortly after, he dragged her around a corner.

nSounds of gunfire erupted at the same time.

nAfter which, a man dressed in black, who radiated a strong murderous intent, walked in their direction.

nLu Jingye hid Zi Yi behind him.

nZi Yi checked the man walking over and asked, “Can you deal with him?”

nLu Jingye stared at the man and acknowledged her question without the slightest trace of anxiousness.

nThe man reduced their distance, then stopped when they were five meters apart before he then started shooting.

nA second before he managed to shoot, a few bullets shot towards him from several directions.

nBang bang bang…

nBAM!

nWhen the guy fell, Zi Yi looked at the gun that had dropped nearby and had the impulse to pick it up.

nBut the few men hidden in the dark had revealed themselves at that moment.

n“Second Young Master.” A man reported to Lu Jingye. “We’ve resolved five of the ambushers but one escaped. Our men are currently pursuing him.”

nLu Jingye said to Zi Yi, “Let’s leave here first.”

nZi Yi looked at his calm expression and nodded.

nUnder the protection of several bodyguards, they soon walked out of the area and arrived at another bustling street.

nThere were several cars parked in the street and Zi Yi followed Lu Jingye into the middle car.

nThe journey back was very smooth without any disturbances.

nIt did not take long for the car to arrive outside the hotel Zi Yi and her family stayed in.

nWhen Zi Yi alighted, Lu Jingye said, “I will arrange for someone to protect you while you’re in the capital these days, so don’t worry.”

n“There’s no need.” Zi Yi turned around and waved as she walked away. “I don’t like people following me. And.. thanks for sending me back tonight.”

nFollowing this, she walked further away.

nWhen Zi Yi walked away, Lu Jingye’s expression turned cold.

nHe said to the driver, “To Qingyuan.”
