“If I had not done that, something much worse could have happened.” Compared to Zhao Youlin’s agitation, Mu Tingfeng was simply glad that he was the one who was injured and not Zhao Youlin. Moreover, if he was not wrong, the shot just now should have been aimed at Zhao Youlin’s head. If he had not reacted and rushed forward, Zhao Youlin would not be here at this moment. He was glad to have taken the bullet for her.

That short sentence successfully stopped Zhao Youlin. Yes, they cared so much about each other. How could they not help when they knew that the other party was in danger?

If it was Mu Tingfeng who had been shot at, she would definitely have pounced forward to take the shot for him without thinking.

“It’s fine now. You’re injured, I’m panicking, we’re even!”

Mu Tingfeng smiled. He leaned against the goods and listened to the movements outside. The snipers were firing at other targets.

In the darkness, there were occasional sounds of people being shot. It was as if they had fallen into a terrifying swamp. They could only stay where they were and struggle, but they were inevitably sinking deeper.

“We have to think of a way to leave this place.”

“Okay.” Zhao Youlin nodded. In such a dark warehouse, they were blinded, while the other party could still see their movements clearly. It was impossible to remain here.

“I remember the gate being on the right side, but there are snipers lying in ambush over there. Why don’t we try to see if there are any places like windows?”

“A window?” Zhao Youlin was stunned for a moment. She suddenly remembered that she had successfully sneaked into this place three years ago through a window. That window seemed to be located…

“The night I was here as a policewoman, I remember a window being over there, but I don’t know if it’s still the same. Do you want to go over and take a look?”

Mu Tingfeng was stunned for a moment, then he nodded and said, “Let’s go and take a look.”

Zhao Youlin hurriedly helped Mu Tingfeng up, and the two of them crouched to avoid the bullets that flew over their heads.

The two of them walked to the other end of the warehouse according to Zhao Youlin’s memory, and they could see the dense light coming in from the window from afar.

“It’s really here.” Zhao Youlin’s eyes lit up, but unfortunately, the smile on her face had not fully bloomed before it was completely frozen by the figure under the window.

“Ms. Zhao, I’ve been waiting for you here for a long time.”

Mu Tingfeng’s expression also changed. He reached out his hand and shielded Zhao Youlin behind him. He looked at Lu Sizheng’s half-smiling face with a guarded expression.

Lu Sizheng glanced at the wound on Mu Tingfeng’s shoulder. He raised his eyebrows and said with a light smile, “President Mu, for an office-worker, you are deceptively quick. Ah San is my most accurate sharpshooter. You actually intercepted his shot. You’re really amazing.”

Mu Tingfeng didn’t think it was funny, nor did he think it was amazing. He only asked coldly, “What do you want?”

“Of course…” Lu Sizheng looked at Zhao Youlin behind Mu Tingfeng. “To make Lu Xiangtian suffer so much that he wants to die, and the way to make him suffer so much is to destroy the thing he cares about the most.”

Zhao Youlin felt a chill run down her spine. She frowned and asked in a deep voice, “I never understood why you would hate him so much even though you’re his adopted son. What did he do to you?”

Lu Sizheng’s expression suddenly changed as soon as Zhao Youlin said that. He asked in a dangerous tone, “Why do I hate him so much?”

Zhao Youlin raised her eyebrows but said nothing. She didn’t understand what was wrong with her question.

“Lu Xiangtian, she asked me why I hate you so much. Aren’t you going to explain it to her?”

Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng were both stunned when they heard this. They turned around and found that Lu Xiangtian had walked over with the old butler. The black-clothed bodyguards who had been protecting him had disappeared.

When Lu Xiangtian heard Lu Sizheng’s question, the emotions in his eyes became more and more complicated. After a long while, he finally said, “You knew?”

When Lu Xiangtian came over, he had been thinking about what he had done to make Lu Sizheng hate him so much that he would not hesitate to kill his own daughter to take revenge on him.

After thinking about it, there was only one possibility. He knew, he knew about the incident back then.

Lu Sizheng sneered, “If you’re talking about my parents, then I’m sorry to tell you. That’s right, I know, I’ve always known. Knowing that my mother was originally a spy, and after you found her, you cruelly killed her. Not only that, because you suspected that my father was also a spy, you also killed my mother after killing her, and then pretended that your enemies were taking revenge on you, and my parents died to save you. But you didn’t expect that, right? At that time, I was up in the middle of the night to look for something to eat because I was hungry, and I just happened to see you shoot my parents to death.”

Lu Sizheng still vividly remembered that night, when he secretly hid in the doorway of his room, and saw everything through the crack of the door.

His parents were lying on the ground without making a sound, and their blood dyed the floor red. His parents were lying on the ground without moving, and they would never wake up again.

At that time, he was frightened and hurriedly ran back to his room, pretending that nothing had happened.

He thought that Lu Xiangtian would come and kill him after dealing with her parents, but he did not expect Lu Xiangtian to not kill him.

The next morning, his parents, who were killed by Lu Xiangtian, became the hero who protected Lu Xiangtian from his enemies. As the hero’s son, he was brought home by Lu Xiangtian and became Lu Xiangtian’s carefully groomed heir.

Lu Sizheng really did not know whether to say that Lu Xiangtian was too conceited or that he was too soft-hearted.

From then on, he began to plan how to pull Lu Xiangtian down from that position, how to kill him, and how to make him suffer so much that he wanted to die. Zhao Youlin’s appearance gave him this opportunity.

Lu Xiangtian had caused the death of the person he loved the most, and he also wanted to let him watch his daughter die in front of him.

Lu Xiangtian listened to Lu Sizheng’s testimony and paused for a long time before he said, “I really regret letting you stay in the first place.”

Lu Sizheng was stunned for a moment, and his smile became brighter. “Unfortunately, it’s too late for you to regret now. Everyone, everyone must die here today, including you.”

As soon as Lu Sizheng finished speaking, Zhao Youlin and the others felt the ground shake. Then, a loud explosion came from behind them.
