If she had known Lin Ping had such a treacherous nature, she would have never agreed to his request.
She clenched her teeth. She felt some guilt for letting down Luo Ying.
Lu Zhao flew in, bringing a hurricane in his wake.
He had received a threatening text from Lin Ping: Luo Ying had been abducted.
Fury blazed in Lu Zhao’s eyes as he utilized nearly all of Luya Group’s resources.
This time, he wasn’t just aiming to rescue Luo Ying. He was going to dismantle every underground operation of the Lin family.
He stood at the entrance and advanced towards Lin Ping.
Lin Ping casually swirled the coffee in his hand and said, “Mr. Lu, your sincerity is rather lacking. Where’s the money I asked for?”
Lu Zhao signaled to Xiao Ting. Xiao Ting raised a briefcase.
At that moment, Lu Zhao noticed Zhang Ruo standing beside Lin Ping. Suddenly everything became clear.
This woman had most definitely used Luo Yings affection to deceive her into coming here.
Zhang Ruo cowered fearfully behind Lin Ping.
Lin Ping narrowed his eyes at the box in Xiao Tings hand. He stood up and dusted himself. “Let’s open the box and inspect the goods.”
Xiao Ting cast a quick glance at Lin Ping. Last time he had let Lin Ping escape. It would not happen again.
The box opened slowly and revealed a gleaming pistol that caught everyone’s attention.
Before Lin Ping could react, Xiao Ting drew his pistol swiftly and fired a shot directly at Lin Pings head.
A dark red stream of blood emerged from the black muzzle as disbelief filled Lin Pings eyes; his body slumped to the ground.
Zhang Ruo was left dumbfounded. She had never imagined the situation would turn out this way.
Lu Zhao hurried over and embraced Luo Ying. His heart ached as he looked at her weak and pallid face.
He reproached himself for failing to protect her adequately.
“Bury DCorporeal. By any means necessary,” Lu Zhao commanded sternly.
“Understood, boss,” Xiao Ting replied. He turned to look at Zhang Ruo, who was trembling beside him.
“Boss, what should we do with this woman?” Xiao Ting inquired.
Only then did Lu Zhao realize that Zhang Ruo was still standing there.
“Lock her up for now. We’ll decide once Luo Ying wakes up,” Lu Zhao stated as he shot a fierce glare at Zhang Ruo.
In a luxurious hotel room, Luo Ying lay on a pristine white bed.
She slowly opened her eyes, her head throbbing.
“Lu Zhao!” Luo Ying cried out in surprise.
Lu Zhao gazed at the awakening Luo Ying with delight. “You’re awake, darling.”
Both of them shed tears, albeit for different reasons.
Lu Zhao blamed himself for failing to adequately protect Luo Ying, while Luo Ying… She had only one day left in this world.
She clung tightly to Lu Zhao’s shoulder.
“Why did you come? I thought I’d never see you again,” Luo Ying sobbed.
“Of course I had to come.” Lu Zhao comforted her. He continued to rub her back as his heart filled with a mix of bitterness and sorrow.
“Oh, has your mother’s condition improved?” Luo Ying asked.
“Even in your condition, you’re still concerned about others,” Lu Zhao chided gently. “Yes, she’s been cured. Wen Yu developed an antidote.”
“That’s a relief,” Luo Ying expressed her gratitude.
Her departure was imminent. If Bian Su left him as well, it would be devastating.
“Speaking of which, I want you to meet someone,” Lu Zhao said.
Xiao Ting ushered Zhang Ruo into the room.
She appeared fatigued and avoided eye contact with Luo Ying.
Luo Ying gave Zhang Ruo a cold appraisal.
“Six months ago, she went abroad. Lin Ping found her, and they got married. She manipulated you into coming here to let Lin Ping threaten me,” Lu Zhao revealed, his eyes filled with uncontainable anger.
Luo Ying listened in disbelief.
She looked at Zhang Ruo in disappointment while saying, “I never did anything to let you down. Why would you do this to me?”
Zhang Ruo lowered her head and remained silent for a prolonged moment.
She wasn’t sure why her feelings toward Luo Ying were a mix of love and resentment.
Regardless, Lin Pings intentions were indeed malicious. She hadn’t anticipated that Luo Yings life would be at stake.
“I can’t really defend what I’ve done,” Zhang Ruo finally admitted as she turned her head away.
Luo Ying regarded her with a mixture of sadness and disappointment. Memories of their close bond felt like a distant dream.
“I’ll support your decision,” Lu Zhao told Luo Ying.
“Keep an eye on her; don’t let her harm anyone else. My relationship with her ends here,” Luo Ying said coldly..
