Chapter 14 Anger for the Beauty (2)
- Lu Zhanting slowly pulled the trigger. Even though he could not see the expression on Lu Zhanting’s face, the deadly aura that he projected was enough to make him tremble.
- Lu Zhanting aimed at Mr. Huang’s foot and fired.
- “Ah!” Mr. Huang screamed like a pig that was being slaughtered and his voice echoed around the lobby.
- This gunshot drew everyone in Night out immediately.
- They stood at the staircase and looked at the people below them.
- When they saw Mr. Huang who was sprawling on the floor, they all thought that Lu Zhanting and his men were thugs.
- At this moment, Xiao Yufei was awoken by the chattering in her room.
- Thinking about how Mu Xitong’s reputation would be crushed soon, Xiao Yufei’s spirits were excellent.
- “Yufei, what’s all the noise outside?” Pei Shanshan asked.
- “Yeah, why don’t we go take a look?” Zhou Yuqing suggested.
- At this moment, Shao Zhehao had woken up and he smiled tenderly at Xiao Yufei.
- “Let’s go out and take a look. I’ll take you home afterward,” Shao Zhehao said lovingly.
- “Sure.” Xiao Yufei nodded.
- The group walked out of their room and they saw the lobby of Night crowded with people.
- “What happened? Are the police here?” Pei Shanshan asked curiously.
- “Maybe,” Zhou Yuqing replied.
- Xiao Yufei heard them and thought that Mu Xitong was discovered by someone. She wanted very much to see what Mu Xitong looked like now!
- “Why don’t we go down and see who’s involved?” Xiao Yufei asked.
- Shao Zhehao looked at Xiao Yufei and shook his head helplessly, then agreed.
- Pei Shanshan and Zhou Yuqing followed Xiao Yufei downstairs. They were also curious about what had happened because even the police were here.
- When Xiao Yufei and the others arrived downstairs, they saw Mr. Huang being beaten up severely by Lu Zhanting.
- Xiao Yufei’s heart tensed. Mr. Huang was beaten up but Mu Xitong was nowhere to be seen.
- “Wow, Shanshan, look! Those guys look so handsome. I think I’m obsessed with them,” Zhou Yuqing swooned.
- “I see them too.” Pei Shanshan’s eyes were glowing.
- “Why is that man wearing a mask?” A boy asked.
- “It must be because he looks ugly!” Pei Shanshan said with disdain.
- “Alright Yufei, there’s nothing to see here. They are just thugs. Let’s go home,” Shao Zhehao said.
- Although Xiao Yufei wanted to see Mu Xitong now, Shao Zhehao had spoken and she could not refuse.
- “Alright. Yuqing, Shanshan, we’re going back now. We’ll treat you to a meal soon,” Xiao Yufei said.
- “Then we’re leaving too,” Pei Shanshan said.
- Afterward, Shao Zhehao led them away from Night.
- As Shao Zhehao was leaving, he turned to look at Lu Zhanting and at the same time, Lu Zhanting was looking at him under his mask as well.
- Shao Zhehao could not forget the bloodlust in his eyes nor the ironic smile on his face.
- Lu Zhanting lowered his head and glared at Mr. Huang who was sprawling on the floor.
- He turned to look at Du Shaoheng and said, “This is your place. You better settle this or I’ll tear this place down.”
- “No problem.” Du Shaoheng beat his chest and promised.
- Du Shaoheng knew that Lu Zhanting was a man of his word.
- The crowd dispersed after they saw Lu Zhanting and the others leave. Mr. Huang was taken away by Lu Yi.
- It was a no brainer that this would be on the headlines tomorrow in Dragon City!
- Lu Zhanting returned to his private room and carefully held Mu Xitong. He caressed her cheek, his eyes full of tenderness and pity.
- “I’m bringing you home,” Lu Zhanting said quietly.
- Han Yichen and Nan Lichuan looked at them mutely and followed behind Lu Zhanting.
- When Lu Zhanting arrived at Yuwan Villa, Du Shaoheng immediately grabbed his medical box and inspected Mu Xitong.
- “Damn, who could be so ruthless to poison her?” Du Shaoheng said coldly.
- “Give her the cure,” Lu Zhanting said icily.
- Du Shaoheng saw how worried Lu Zhanting was and he turned to take a little vial out of his medical box.
- Then he took out a syringe and injected it in Mu Xitong.
- “Thank god I brought the medicine that I made myself or else this poison would have harmed her body,” Du Shaoheng said in a grave tone.
- Afterward, Aunt Zhang walked in with Mu Xitong’s pajamas.
- Normally, Lu Zhanting would not let them come into the bedroom but Mu Xitong was here.
- “Young Master Lu, let me help Miss Mu wash up,” Aunt Zhang said respectfully.
- “Alright, be careful,” Lu Zhanting said quietly.
- “Of course,” Aunt Zhang replied dutifully.
- Lu Zhanting took one last glance at Mu Xitong and went downstairs to the living room.
- Lu Zhanting lit up a cigarette. He didn’t smoke usually and he didn’t have an addiction.
- “Zhanting, Lichuan and I had just left for half a month. What happened?” Han Yichen asked solemnly.
- “Yeah, tell us,” Nan Lichuan urged.
- Du Shaoheng sat there looking at them. Although he knew parts of the story, he didn’t dare to speak up.
- “Didn’t you all see?” Lu Zhanting asked instead of answering.
- Han Yichen and Nan Lichuan heard him and their expressions turned solemn.
- “Are you serious?” Han Yichen asked.
- “But how about your identity?” Nan Lichuan was worried.
- “Yichen, Lichuan, she saved his life,” Du Shaoheng interrupted.
- “What?” Han Yichen asked.
- “When Zhanting was injured in an attack, she saved him,” Du Shaoting said seriously.
- “What if the enemy did it on purpose so that they could place this woman beside Zhanting?” Nan Lichuan said gravely.
- Nan Lichuan knew Lu Zhanting well and he had Lu Zhanting’s best interests at heart.
- He didn’t want the same mistake to be repeated.
- “You’re overthinking it,” Du Shaoheng replied.
- “Looks like you’re sure that she’s the one,” Han Yichen said lazily.
- Han Yichen and Nan Lichuan continued discussing this matter with Du Shaoheng.
- “She will be my wife, the mistress of Lu family,” Lu Zhanting announced abruptly.
- Han Yichen and Nan Lichuan looked at Lu Zhanting in shock. In comparison, Du Shaoheng looked calm.
- From what he had observed for the past few days, this was bound to happen.
- “Zhanting, are you sure?” Han Yichen asked solemnly.
- Lu Zhanting put down the cigarette in his hand and turned to face Han Yichen and the others.
- “Yes,” Lu Zhanting said with determination.
- “Well, if that’s the case, what more can we say?” Nan Lichuan chuckled lightly.
- “Zhanting, you’re robbing the cradle. She’s only seventeen,” Du Shaoheng teased.
- Lu Zhanting heard Du Shaoheng and his face clouded over. This was the first time that Du Shaoheng ever minded age so much, given his history with women.
- “So what?” Lu Zhanting said icily.
- “Aren’t you afraid that she wouldn’t oblige?” Han Yichen laughed softly.
- Lu Zhanting heard them and he smiled lightly.
