"If you're afraid, then don't say it. I can ask Mister myself." I pulled her down on the bed, trying to calm her.

"No …." "It's fine." The little girl bit her lower lip and mustered up her courage. "When I went out, mister was sitting in the hall with a dark expression. The young mistress was kneeling in front of him, while the young master was standing beside her. By mister's side, a man in a Chinese tunic was …" "The little girl's body trembled, and her fear rose to yet another new height." He was playing with a gun like a toy. He saw me as soon as I went out, but he didn't tell sir. "

"Who is that man?"

"I don't know. I only heard mister call him 'Third Brother'."

"I've never heard of him. Was the gun in his office drawer related to him?" "And then, what did you do to the young lady?"

"They had a lot to talk about when I went out, and I heard you say to the young lady that you had no choice, but how do you choose to die? For the sake of our many years of friendship, I will not blame your family. "

Lu Chen actually wanted to kill you, just like I was worried. I wanted to do the same to Zhou Zijie, but I couldn't bear to. I could have made a ruckus with her while she was still alive, but I couldn't accept her death.

"The young lady was tugging at the leg of his trousers, crying and begging him to let her go, saying that she did not want to die. She had done these things on the spur of the moment. I don't think she was on the spur of the moment. She's obviously been plotting for a long time. "Furthermore, you treated her so well. The last time when Young Master hit her, you even helped her wipe her blood. You're truly a cruel and ungrateful person." The little girl clenched her fist to help me fight against injustice, "But Teacher won't let her go. Leaning on the chair, he said that he also impulsively wanted to kill her. The young madam was scared out of her wits. She just said that it was illegal to kill people. If they killed her, they would go to jail, and the Zhou family wouldn't let her die without any reason. Before he could say anything, the man's gun was already pointed at the young mistress's head. Then, he happily told her that this wasn't something that she was worried about. As long as she was willing to die, he would have the ability to take care of it. "

The whole time, the man had been smiling, but he had done something so creepy. How could Lu Chen have such a friend? If I were to disobey his wishes one day, would he … I didn't dare think about it.

It was not easy for me to get to the heart of the matter with Lu Chen. I had broken through that window, leaving no estrangement between us. One wave had yet to calm down, the other wave had already begun.

Maybe he and I really were not people of the same world. The environment he lived in, the world he was used to, was something I could only see in novels and TV dramas. Even in my dreams, I didn't dare imagine that I would enter that world.

"And then?" I asked fearfully.

"Then the young master pushed the gun away and told Third Uncle not to cause any trouble. The man was still smiling as he said, "I'm not messing around, it's your uncle. I can see that he's not messing around either." Who told your wife to be so stubborn? It looks like your Lu family is really a family of lovers.

And the young master said to the gentleman, 'Uncle, Zijie knows she was wrong. Seeing that she is the Lu family's daughter-in-law and you personally chose her, any punishment is fine. Don't be so ruthless and let her die.

The gentleman was silent for a moment, then took the gun from the man's hand. There were a few bullets in it, and the man said there were three. The teacher then fired two shots at the young madam's feet. The young madam was so scared that she cried out and lay on the ground, looking like she was about to faint. Only when she saw that her teacher had not hit her did she stand up with a lingering fear. Grasping his leg, he said, "Thank you, uncle, I won't dare to do it again." The gentleman sneered and said, "Don't be happy too early." Then he emptied and reloaded the gun. He broke the trigger and threw it in front of her. If she dared to shoot him, he would spare his life. The young madam opened the door and did not die. I think it's too easy for her. She did so much to you, and it's still okay. "

At this critical moment of life and death, Lu Yulin would want to plead on behalf of Zhou Zijie. It seemed that she also had feelings for him. But now, he couldn't explain why he hit Zhou Zijie.

"Then the gentleman said she could live, but she had to think of something to trade. Moreover, if there was a next time, he wouldn't even give a chance to discuss it. I don't dare to look any further. I don't know what's behind me. "

"Okay, thank you."

After Su Xiang left, I holed up in my bed and couldn't help but think, what could I trade with Zhou ZiJie? Was she gathering a stake in the United States, or was Lu Yulin gathering a stake in the United States?

I shook my head, unable to continue thinking like this. If I continued thinking like this, I wouldn't be able to face Lu Chen in front of him.

The door was pushed open again, and I thought it was Su Xiang who had returned. I sat up and saw that it was Lu Chen.

When he saw that I had woken up, his wrinkled brow relaxed, as if trying to hide his irritation.

"Are you hungry?" He sat down on the edge of the bed and took me in his arms.

"Not bad, it hurts, but I don't really want to eat."

"I've already sent people to prepare food for you. Only after eating one's fill would one's body recover much faster. Only when we are well can we go down the mountain. "

I shook my head. I really don't have any appetite right now.

"What's wrong? You don't seem happy. "

"Even though I know that I shouldn't be bothered by this, I still couldn't help but open my mouth." How did you find me? "

"Find someone to help find you."

"Who could have found me so quickly?" My whisper was almost a volume that Lu Chen could not hear.

He turned me so I was facing him, and I reached out to smooth the gully between his eyebrows.

"Did you hear what someone said?" Or did you already know something? "

He looked me straight in the eye, and his inquiring eyes seemed to see right through me. I lowered my head guiltily and whispered, "Last night, it was so lively downstairs. I didn't know anything and it was very difficult."

"Mu Mu, you're too clean. I didn't tell you. I wanted to protect you. Even I, myself, would not be willing to come into contact with such shameful things unless I had no other choice. "

"I know you're doing this for my own good, but it's never good to keep it from me. I don't even know what kind of person you are. I don't have the means to make a proper assessment of you and then give myself a proper position. "

I covered my face with my hands, trying to escape all this in a way that concealed my ears.

Lu Chen smiled wryly and gently lifted my head, "You don't have to evaluate me. The mode that you used to get along with me is the right position. "

"Lu Chen, a lot of things have happened recently. I can't digest them in a short period of time, so I might not be able to return to the past quickly."

"It's fine. As long as you're fine, I can wait."
