Lu Zhaoyang looked into Lu Bai’s eyes inquisitively but also with a look of disappointment.
Lu Bai was not the weak young man she imagined him to be. In fact, he seemed like someone with hidden skills.
He certainly looked concerned for her, but Lu Zhaoyang could not forget what he had threatened to do to save her.
Was he… sincerely trying to befriend her?

What are you all really up to?



She had to pose the question. She could not simply ignore the matter because she actually believed in their friendship.
She hated lies and betrayal and hoped that he would not disappoint her.
Before Lu Bai could reply, Wen He interrupted them with a chuckle.
I see… So this is the woman that Officer Huo is interested in. Interesting.


What do you mean? Who is Officer Huo, and who are you all really?

Her hands clenched tightly as she studied them warily.
They are certainly not ordinary people!

We are Z Country residents!
Wen He combed a hand through her hair.

You, go inside!
Lu Bai said to her, then turned to Lu Zhaoyang.
Big sis, I…


Are you involved in Huo Yunting’s injury?

Wen He interrupted again.
Lu Bai has got nothing to do with that. It’s all the doings of that man who left earlier. Little miss, our dear Bai here cares about you every day. You should not accuse him of anything. Besides, he just threatened a very good brother of his just now to save you!



The lights in the corridor were dim. Lu Bai stood at the door of his apartment against the light from inside.
Lu Zhaoyang stood in his shadow, unable to ascertain his expression.

Well, if everything is fine, I am heading back to make dinner.

She needed time to calm down. Lu Bai was not as innocent as he seemed to be.
To think that the man who shot Huo Yunting was a good friend of his…
She wondered how Yan Se was doing now as she went downstairs, back to her own apartment.
When she was out of sight, Lu Bai turned to Wen He, who was still smiling eagerly, and dragged her into the house. He slammed the door shut and looked at her coldly.

You all did that on purpose.


Even if it’s on purpose, it was Chen Jiu’s idea. I had nothing to do with it.


And how is that?
Lu Bai took out his gun and gave it a twirl.
Do the both of you really want me to continue tinkering with this?




Not really. The three of us are what is left of the organization. If we can’t do anything grand anymore, we might as well continue our lives peacefully. However, I do think that it’s a waste of your skills if you simply quit. After all, you are a weapons design expert.
Wen He looked at him toying with the gun.
Are you interested in modifying that?


This is not necessary for us to live peaceful lives.

Lu Bai threw a quick glance at her and removed the bullets from the gun with familiar motions.
There were six bullets in the gun. If Chen Jiu had really fired at Lu Zhaoyang, he would never forgive himself.

We just want to get along with our lives, but Officer Huo might not let us.
Wen He looked at the bullets lying in his hand, all engraved with the letter
L
.
These were bullets from the organization. Now that the organization ceased to exist, what use were these bullets for?
It might be enough to kill everyone in the Huo family, though.

Do you want to die?
Lu Bai pocketed the bullets and headed for the bedroom.

What do you mean?


Now that this has happened, we are exposed. This place is not safe anymore.
Lu Bai opened the wardrobe and started packing her things.


If Lu Zhaoyang told Huo Chen or Huo Yunting about this, their lives were as sure as forfeited.
