Wen He did not make her move even when Fu Yuhuan stopped Huo Yunting from leaving. Lu Zhaoyang decided then to drag the man away herself.
“Don’t worry about me, as long as President Huo… no, as long as Yunting is willing, then I am fine with it too.”
Fu Yuhuan changed the way she addressed him quickly, doing anything it would take to turn events to her favour.
“Well, I am definitely not fine with marrying someone who was abandoned by another.”
Huo Yunting threw a look at Lu Zhaoyang and turned to leave.
Knowing Mu Xian, he had guessed that the man would reject the marriage at the very end.
Mu Xian should have decided way earlier. To think that he ended up as the bride’s backup plan!
It was funny, but he sympathized with Fu Yuhuan’s intentions and did not make things more difficult for her.
Lu Zhaoyang caught up with him. “Wen He is here. I have a bad feeling about this. Move faster, Huo Yunting, I’m afraid that she would do something to you!”
“If I’m in danger, then why are you getting so close? Are you taking the bullet for me?”
Huo Yunting asked as he took a brief, warning glance at Wen He.
Wen He immediately raised both her arms to show that they were empty.
He paused and looked at Lu Zhaoyang. “You will leave first.”
“No, I will take a bullet for you, okay, so let’s leave together!”
Huo Yunting wanted to laugh. Why was she acting so childish, knowing how dangerous the situation could be?
Nevertheless, he realized that she was worried about him.
With that, he decided to do something and began walking toward Wen He.
At that moment, on an abandoned building near the manor, Chen Jiu slowly s.h.i.+fted the aim of his sniper rifle from Huo Yunting to Lu Zhaoyang.
A menacingly smile appeared on his face.
Killing Huo Yunting just like that would be boring, but if Lu Zhaoyang was dead, both uncle and nephew from the Huo family would be devastated!
As for the mission he was paid for, screw that!
He took his aim and prepared to fire!
Just as he pulled the trigger, his arm was shot by someone else and ruined his aim.
Lu Zhaoyang was trying to catch up with Huo Yunting when she heard a gunshot and saw a bullet planted itself by her feet on the lawn.
“…”
She shut her eyes on reflex and then quickly opened them again.
The guests erupted into an outburst. People started screaming and running for their lives.
“Are you hurt, Huo Yunting?”
Ignorant of her narrow escape from death, Lu Zhaoyang ran even faster toward Huo Yunting, but noticed that the man was looking coldly into the distance.
That was not Wen He.
When Lu Zhaoyang reached him, he grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her toward a corner.
Using the building as cover, they moved toward the exit together.
Wen He was nowhere to be seen.
Huo Yunting held her wrist so tightly that Lu Zhaoyang gasped in pain. “Can you loosen up?”
Wen He did not do anything earlier, so who fired that shot?
Soon, they both reached the car. He helped her inside the car and handed the keys to her but did not follow inside.
“Get away from here.”
“What about you?”
“I’m going to see what’s happening here. Don’t worry, the security guards have all been deployed.”
He would not go easy on the person who tried to kill Lu Zhaoyang!
Huo Yunting left her before she could say anything in reply. Now that he knew what to look for, he should be able to take care of himself. Lu Zhaoyang knew that staying would only hold him back.
She was about to close the car door when someone abruptly appeared beside the car.
