Chen Jiu shrugged and continued, “My dear, your hostage knows nothing about this. Do you really want to harm an innocent man?”

“Do you really think I believe everything you say?” Yan Se stared coldly at him. “The second master would never do that to Huo Yunting. Who are you? More precisely speaking... what organization do you come from?”

She could sense that these people were professionals. She needed backup or she might just die here!

“As you observed, I am a professional assassin. Your success in pursuing me is the biggest failure of my career. Alright, I declare that I have failed in my job!”

Chen Jiu extended his beer to Yan Se. “My dear, why don’t we stop being enemies? I will not touch Huo Yunting again. As for the details, why don’t you find Huo Chen?”

Yan Se studied him and then looked at Wen He. She could see that the woman’s arm was injured.

Yan Se was about to speak when she heard Lu Zhaoyang from behind her. “What are you two doing?”

“Sister!”

“Sis!”

Yan Se saw Lu Zhaoyang approaching them but did not let go of Lu Bai. “Get back!”

Lu Zhaoyang thought they were fighting and walked faster toward them. “What are you doing? Why are you pointing a gun at him?”

When she saw Lu Bai signalling her to stop too, she halted her steps.

However, she was already at the door.

“Leave now!” Yan Se saw her stop and panicked!

Just then, Chen Jiu let go of his beer and reached for his gun to point at Lu Zhaoyang.

“We meet at last, Ms Lu.”

Lu Zhaoyang frowned. Since when was she so popular?

She inhaled deeply and tried to stay calm. The man in Lu Bai’s house looked like he knew Lu Bai. She must talk their way out of this.

“Mister, I don’t even know you. You point a gun at me, but my bodyguard will shoot you if that happens. Why don’t we all take a step back and put down our weapons?”

“Chen Jiu! Put down your gun! Don’t aim at her!” Lu Bai felt very uncomfortable seeing a gun pointed her way. “No matter what happens, she has nothing to do with this!”

“That’s what you think! I don’t have to explain her place in this. If we have her as hostage, both Huo Yunting and Huo Chen will fold,” Chen Jiu said as he slowly made his way to Lu Zhaoyang. “Indeed, you are truly beautiful. No wonder the Huo family’s uncle and nephew both went crazy for you.”

Lu Zhaoyang was speechless.

If only she did not come to ask Yan Se down for dinner. Was this a case of her inviting trouble to herself?

“Chen Jiu, I will say this again, put down the gun!” Lu Bai watched the other man make his way toward Lu Zhaoyang and yelled with a rage rarely seen in him.

“Are you bewitched by this woman? If I put down my gun, you will lose your life!”

Chen Jiu regretted coming here. To think that Lu Zhaoyang would have a bodyguard with her so soon!

Lu Bai shot a cold look at him. Suddenly, he grabbed Yan Se’s gun and pointed it at his chest with his finger on the trigger. “If you don’t put it down, I will shoot myself and die in front of you!”

“Lu Bai, you’re so cruel!”

Chen Jiu was shocked to see his friend’s reaction. He put down the gun despite Yan Se’s presence and left the apartment.

Yan Se immediately let go of Lu Bai and ran to chase him down.

“Are you alright, sister?” Lu Bai asked worriedly.

“I... am fine.”
