He strode home, when he heard her anxious voice: "Commander, something has happened to Miss!"

Zhang Wenbin suddenly stopped, and the group hurriedly led the maid over.

"Qingzhou has fallen, affecting surrounding provinces. The marshal has been away for a long time, yet those people actually kidnapped the young lady. They are not afraid of the marshal at all!"

"It's at the Crescent Hotel!"

The car arrived at the Crescent Hotel at top speed.

Zhang Wenbin and his men got out of the car, guns tucked into their waistbands, and strode inside.

However, as soon as they reached the lobby on the first floor, they heard a gasp: "That's... Miss Xu?!"

Zhang Wenbin was stunned. He looked up and saw Xu Zhuqing with disheveled hair and tears streaming down her face. It was the top floor of the New Moon Hotel, and several men with lewd smiles were following behind her.

"Miss!"

At that moment, Zhang Wenbin's face was filled with terror: "Zhuqing, no!"

However, Xu Zhuqing leaped into the air and plummeted to the ground at an extremely high speed.

"Bang--"

Immediately, screams erupted as everyone cried and ran outside.

Zhang Wenbin was ultimately a step too slow; he stretched out his hands, but they were empty.

He originally thought that as long as he didn't get close, he could protect her for life, but he was naive.

"Zhuqing, Zhuqing! Call a doctor! Call a doctor!" Zhang Wenbin's face turned ashen in an instant. He held her in his arms, but could only see the blood gushing from her mouth.

"Zhuqing, Zhuqing, it's alright, you'll be alright. I'll take you to see a doctor, I'll take you..."

Xu Zhuqing gently raised her hand to stop him.

Zhang Wenbin leaned forward, but only heard one sentence: "Wenbin, I...I'm leaving. You...you have a legitimate reason...to kill those people...Father...will no longer...make things difficult for you..."

Xu Zhuqing's gaze gradually became unfocused. She thought, thank goodness... thank goodness her Wenbin arrived early, so she could see him one last time before she died.

After speaking, Xu Zhuqing's hand fell heavily to her side, but her eyes remained unblinking, as if she wanted to memorize her lover's face.

"Zhu Qing!!!" Zhang Wenbin, a grown man, finally broke down and cried out.

He never expected that, even at this very last moment, Xu Zhuqing would still be thinking of him.

Zhang Shufen and her eldest brother rushed over with their men, only to find Xu Zhuqing being held lifelessly in her second brother's arms.

“Sister-in-law…” Zhang Shufen’s tears fell instantly.

The older brother pulled her back and covered her eyes, saying, "Little sister, don't look..."

That was Xu Zhuqing, the Miss Xu who had been childhood sweethearts with my second brother and was engaged to him. Later, due to the political differences between my second brother and Marshal Xu, the two families broke off the engagement, but they still had feelings for each other, which was obvious to everyone.

Starting today, she has lost another person who loved her.
