Chapter 654 - Argument

The bullet rammed into Tang Shunian’s head, taking the consciousness out of him.

His eyes were wide open. He could not believe that Lu had pulled the trigger.

He had told her about Jing Yiran, but she did not seem worried at all.

Could it have been because she never actually cared about Jing Yiran and had pretended just to confuse him?

Or could it have been because Jing Yiran was out of his control?

That was a question Tang Shunian would never figure out the answer to.

The pain inside his head soon pulled him into endless darkness.

After Lu pulled the trigger, she suddenly remembered how Jing Yiran was once shot by Jing Yichen. She thought for a second and put one more bullet into his heart.

In this way, he would never be able to come back from the dead.

The sound of shooting startled Tang Shunian’s guards and the entire hospital building. However, when they entered the room, they saw Tang Shunian lying dead, but there was no one else there.

The tightly sealed window of the ward was open, and the white curtains were floating against the breeze as if telling them that the murderer hopped off from this place and escaped.

Lu soon left the hospital and rushed to Jing Yiran’s small villa.

She was finally relieved after Tang Shunian was killed.

She had conducted numerous missions and killed numerous people but never failed. Even if she quit being a killer in the future, she would not want to leave something to regret for, in her life.

She had been keeping a perfect record that could not be ruined by Tang Shunian.

That kind of failure would keep pestering her and tormenting her. Only by killing Tang Shunian would she be able to finish her career in a perfect way.

As for Jing Yiran, he was absolutely safe. Tang Shunian’s men had already been controlled by Jing Yichen and told Tang Shunian whatever he asked them to. Tang Shunian had lost one arm and his intelligence along with it. He should have known that Jing Yichen’s men were everywhere in A City and his men were not faithful people. They gave into Jing Yichen as soon as they were caught.

When Lu arrived home, she saw two tall men confronting each other in the living room. Shangguan Ning was sitting there with Jing Rui in her arms. She looked helpless. Jing Rui’s large eyes were staring at the two men curiously as he let out some noise as if trying to stop the fight. No one really understood what he was saying.

The moment she entered, Shangguan Ning instantly stood up and walked towards her with Jing Rui in her arms. “Lu, finally you are here. These two got in a fight when you were not here!”

Jing Rui did not think of Lu as a stranger. He kept making sounds as if trying to tell her what was going on.

Before Lu was able to say anything, Jing Yiran rushed to her and sized her up thoroughly. He let out a sigh of relief when he was sure that she was not injured anymore.

Lu put her hand into his and told him that she was fine. Then she turned to Jing Yichen and said calmly, “He is dead.”

Startled slightly, Jing Yichen nodded. “Okay.”

He had just said one word without showing any expression of either surprise or joy, so Jing Yiran became a bit unhappy.

“Jing Yichen, what do you mean by okay? My woman risked her life to kill that person and she almost lost her life. You are so heartless!”

Jing Yichen had been used to hearing Jing Yiran addressing Lu as his woman, so he didn’t find it strange. But Shangguan Ning heard it for the first time, so she turned to look at Lu in surprise.

Lu’s pale-looking face was expressionless too. She had been used to hearing Jing Yiran calling her in this way.

Jing Yichen looked at Jing Yiran coldly and said, “Then should I give her an award or a trophy? Is she a student?”

His cold attitude and indifferent tone seriously annoyed Jing Yiran.

“Stop talking nonsense You were incapable of killing Tang. That’s why you asked my woman to kill him. You are a bastard. Stay away from my woman. She is not going to work for you anymore.”

Jing Yichen said calmly, “Angel is the second most excellent killer in the world, and it is easy for her to kill Tang Shunian. I am her employer, so I don’t have to do that myself, otherwise why do I need a killer for? She can choose not to do the mission. I never forced her to do it. She did whatever she needed to compensate for what she has owed to the Jing Family.”

“Also, killing Tang Shunian is not going to be enough as compensation against the Jing Family’s expenses spent on her in the past few years. She has not been a good enough bodyguard for my wife and my child, because of which they were controlled by a shameless man who forced my wife to jump off the bridge and undergo early labor. I have already been merciful enough to keep her alive till the present day!”

Jing Yichen might ignore everything else, but he had been very disappointed and annoyed by Lu’s failed mission as Ning’s bodyguard. If he had not trusted Lu deeply and replaced her with someone else, Shangguan Ning would not have suffered that much.

It was impossible for him to award Lu right now.

“Leave Lu out of it!”

Jing Yiran felt quite guilty when that incident was mentioned, but he did not want Jing Yichen to think that it was Lu’s fault!

“I was the culprit for that incident, don’t blame Lu. I am ready to take the responsibility. Also, you already took revenge. Let bygones be bygones. But Lu killed for you and got injured, and she almost lost her life, why can’t you just make up for her loss somehow?”

Seeing the two of them start to fight again, Shangguan Ning could not help but feel frustrated.

But Jing Rui, who understood nothing, cheered them on loudly.
