Chapter 652: Not a Human
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
No one had said a thing like this after she was found gifted in killing people.
Everyone demanded her to kill and told her that she was suitable to work as a killer and she must continue doing it.
No one was worried about her taking risks or if she would get injured. No one would stop her from killing just because they were worried about her safety.
She was a killing machine without emotions, born to kill. Maybe it was because killing did bring her a sense of achievement, so she found it reasonable to kill people.
At this moment, Jing Yiran’s anger made Lu feel quite warm deep within.
There was now someone out there who cared about her and did not want her to take the risk, thinking that she was a woman who needed to be protected even though she was capable enough herself.
Lu’s voice turned gentle. “I need the Jing Family’s protection. Jing Zhongxiu would not protect me any more, if anything happens to Jing Yichen. Also, I have owed the Jing Family way too much, and there is nothing else I can do to pay them back. It is reasonable that I solve the problem for Jing Yichen. That is my value to them. I am capable of nothing apart from killing people.”
“The Jing Family are capable enough to hire the first and the third top killers to murder Tang Shunian. If they combine forces, even I won’t be a match against them. But if the Jing Family hires them, then the contract between the Jing Family and the killers’ camp would be broken and I will need to return to the camp to become the killer again for them.”
Jing Yiran knew the rules!
Lu had already told him that for the sake of her, the Jing Family had had a long talk with the killers’ camp for a very long time and if it had not been because of Jing Zhongxiu’s great relations.h.i.+p with the bosses of the killers’ camp, she would not have made it alive out of the camp.
The killers’ camp had been existing for hundreds of years. The rules were getting stricter and fewer people were able to walk out free from there. There were at most five people who had come out of the place including Lu.
But Jing Yiran had been so worried about Lu that he forgot about these rules.
He hated Tang Shunian and the killers’ camp!
And he hated himself the most for being useless!
If he had killed Tang Shunian the other day, Lu would not have needed to suffer.
If he were powerful or skilled, he would not need Lu to kill Tang Shunian.
Jing Yiran swept Lu into his arms and said fiercely, “You are not going there, I can kill him myself. He is just Tang Shunian!”
Lu laughed and wrapped her hands around his waist as she said in her baby-voice, “Tang Shunian is a bit different. He always has a way to keep himself safe. I can’t kill him yet, let alone you. Also, I won’t let you go there. He will die tonight, but…”
“But what?”
Lu laughed at him. “But you need to rest for a while.”
“What? Lu, you would not dare, you can’t…”
Before Jing Yiran finished his words, he collapsed softly onto Lu.
“Sorry, I must run after Tang Shunian, or I will not be able to catch up with him. I will take you home later.”
Lu carried Jing Yiran and disappeared in the darkness.
…
The effect of anesthetic on Tang Shunian was fading and the pain in his broken arm was tormenting him viciously.
He was in so much pain that he wished that he could pa.s.s out!
His men were driving towards the hospital at a high speed but Tang Shunian was still complaining about it and urged them to hurry up.
The wound had started to bleed again, and the empty sleeve was now dyed with redness.
Without the right arm,Tang Shunian was suffering fiercely. When he saw people with two arms, he hated it enough to want to chop theirs’ off, so they could be like him!
In a few minutes, Tang Shunian received his men’s call, who were reporting about the status of Jing Yiran.
His men were s.h.i.+vering as they stumbled to speak up. Tang Shunian finally realized that Lu took only a few minutes before arriving at the tall building thousands of kilometers away from the Landscape Compound.
That was impossible!
A helicopter could make it, but a car could not.
Was she a human being or not?!
When she was fighting against hundreds of people down in the cellar, she had shown patience and stamina, but her speed hadn’t been tested that day.
She may be strong but within a few minutes’ time, she covered so many kilometers. That was not what a human could do.
Also, down in the underground mall, Lu didn’t die even though the bomb was really strong.
She was not even fatally injured.
That was so strange!
Tang Shunian did not believe in anything like G.o.ds or deities, because no ghosts had haunted him after he conducted so many sins.
Lu was a human being, but she must be hiding a big secret.
Tang Shunian suspected that it would be something that could fundamentally transform human beings’ functions, otherwise Lu’s strength and speed could not have reached this degree.
If he was able to get this secret, he might get his missing arm back.
When Tang Shunian thought of the possibility, he got very excited.
He had feared that Lu would come after him but now, he wished that Lu would come after him.
He needed to capture Lu and dig out her secret.
The Mu’s Hospital was definitely the best hospital in A City, but Tang Shunian would not choose the Mu’s Hospital as the place for his treatment. Mu’s Hospital and Jing Yichen were in a close relations.h.i.+p and he was seeking his death if he went there.
He found a very small hospital. His serious wounds had been dealt with, and he just needed some dressing and a strong shot of anesthetic that could be done at any hospital.
Jing Yichen was coming back to A City from B City and Tang Shunian needed to capture Lu before he returned.
