Chapter 318 Stepbrother

A steady sound of footsteps could be heard in the quiet sky garden.

Qi Huang, who had been silent throughout the entire banquet, came from nowhere and walked straight towards the rattan chairs of Cheng Yi and Lu Qian.

Following him was Reya.

Qi Huang walked to the side of the two and said respectfully, "Master, the Pope invites you."

"knew."

Cheng Yi responded in a deep voice and pushed Lu Qian up from his arms.

"Rest here for a while," Cheng Yi bent down and kissed Lu Qian's forehead, "If you feel sleepy, ask Lei Ya to take you back to rest."

Lu Qian nodded obediently, "Okay."

Cheng Yi rubbed Lu Qian's head and coaxed her softly, "I'll be back soon."

Lu Qian did not answer, but pursed her lips slightly, with the blush still on her face, and nodded obediently.

Qi Huang was not surprised by this kind of scene. He had a stern face and waited silently on the side.

Lei Yake was not so at ease.

Since Lei Ya came to work for Lu Qian, Cheng Yi has never appeared again, so her understanding of the Tavian family is only based on rumors.

So I have never seen Lu Qian and Cheng Yi being affectionate with each other.

Lei Ya lowered her head and secretly glanced at the interaction between Lu Qian and Cheng Yi. She was afraid of being discovered, but at the same time she couldn't help but want to watch.

It turns out their eldest brother can be so soft and sweet, as obedient as a little rabbit?!

When Lu Qian gave them special training tasks, even Yaksha was no match for him.

Although Lu Qian's fighting ability is not high, she will really stay at the training ground day and night. If they don't sleep, she won't sleep either.

It's like training an eagle, just keep going.

So much so that these people initially refused to obey Lu Qian's management, but later on, one by one they became her confidants.

When Lu Qian negotiated with the leaders of various forces, he was also very imposing and refused to give in.

With her sharp vision and strong negotiation skills, there is basically no contract she cannot get.

Even the powerful people at Tavia's table were completely subdued by her, especially Qingli, who was as happy as seeing the King of Hell when she saw Lu Qian.

Every time Lei Ya went to Qingli to replenish ammunition, he would listen to him nagging about Lu Qian's bad things for several hours.

However, he only dared to talk behind his back. After all, there was still a lot of room for improvement in Lu Qian's methods of dealing with him.

Now this little woman nestling in the man's arms, so obedient, is their boss?

But Lei Ya suddenly felt that... a soft and cute personality seemed to be more suitable for Lu Qian's face... hehehe.

"Let's go."

Cheng Yi stood up, called Qi Huang and walked out the door.

"Boss, where are we going?" After Cheng Yi left, Lei Ya jumped in front of Lu Qian in three or two steps.

Lu Qian raised his hand and patted his face, retracting his previous inappropriate expression.

"It's boring to stay here, let's go back to the room."

"Okay~"

Lu Qian and Lei Ya were walking on the path back to the room. The night wind was a little chilly, causing Lu Qian to shiver.

Seeing this, Lei Ya quickly took off her coat and put it on Lu Qian.

Lu Qian turned to look at Lei Ya, "Aren't you cold?"

Lei Ya smiled, raised her arms, and showed Lu Qian the muscles on her arms. "Boss, do you think I'm afraid of the cold?"

Lu Qian didn't hesitate and smiled as he pulled Lei Ya's clothes onto her shoulders.

"bell--"

Just as Lu Qian finished tidying up his clothes, the phone in his pocket rang.

She answered the phone and a familiar voice came from it: "Where are you? Come out and pick me up."

"Jiang Luan? You're here?" Lu Qian replied in surprise.

At the invitation of Dean Xia Lit, Jiang Luan went to Germany half a month in advance to supervise the blood research experiment. He made an appointment with them to return to Italy together after the underworld gathering.

But Lu Qian didn't expect Jiang Luan to come so early. She thought he would not come until the banquets were over.

"Come out and pick me up." Jiang Luan repeated.

Lu Qian quickly agreed: "Okay, I'll be there right away."

After Lu Qian hung up the phone, he turned to look at Lei Ya and said, "Come with me to the door. Jiang Luan is here."

Lei Ya nodded and made an "OK" gesture to Lu Qian.

The two of them ran towards the gatehouse outside the moat. Under the night sky, the environment was so quiet that it seemed a little weird.

"Help!!--"

Before they could reach the outside of the moat, a scream for help came from their ears.

"Help!"

…

Lei Ya and Lu Qian turned their heads and looked at each other, saying in unison: "Jiang Luan?!"

This is clearly Jiang Luan's voice!

But didn't he just ask Lu Qian to pick him up? Why was he shouting for help?

"Hurry, go quickly."

Lu Qian quickly grabbed Lei Ya's hand and ran towards the direction of the sound.

From afar, under the castle wall, a large black iron cage stood there, and the cry for help came from there.

Lu Qian and Lei Ya ran towards the cage.

The cage door was wide open. Jiang Luan was curled up beside the cage, tied up, with his mouth sealed with black tape. He was struggling bitterly.

"Jiang Luan!?" Lu Qian shouted.

Jiang Luan was startled when he heard Lu Qian's voice.

He raised his eyes and saw Lu Qian appear in front of him, with a flash of fear in his eyes.

“Woo…”

“Hmm! Hmm!”

…

He shook his head frantically, looking extremely nervous, and hummed madly, trying to say something.

Lu Qian frowned, she also realized something was wrong at this moment.

Jiang Luan's mouth was sealed, so how could he have cried for help? Where did the cry for help come from?

But now that things have come to this, I must take Jiang Luan with me.

She quickly tore off the tape on Jiang Luan's mouth and was about to drag him out of the cage.

Jiang Luan didn't have time to explain, and he shouted urgently: "Xiao Qian, run! Run! They are all here! Leave me alone!!"

Lu Qian frowned.

They? They are...

Before Lu Qian could react, he heard Lei Ya's roar:

"Boss, be careful!!!"

Lu Qian was stunned for a moment, and then he was pushed hard on the back, and fell directly into the iron cage.

"Dang——" With a loud noise, the door of the iron cage closed.

"Cough, puff——"

What followed was a muffled groan from Reya.

Lu Qian felt a chill on his back, and a sense of crisis immediately swept over him.

She hurriedly got up from the ground and saw through the iron cage that Leiya had fallen to the ground, with two darts shining on his shoulder blades and bleeding profusely.

Lu Qian grabbed the door of the iron cage and shouted loudly: "Leiya!"

"Boss, I'm fine..."

Lei Ya frowned and struggled to get up despite the pain from her wound, trying to lift the door of the iron cage and let Lu Qian out.

But she clearly felt... the wound on her shoulder was numb, and half of her body was powerless.

This hidden weapon is poisonous.

At this moment, a man slowly walked out of the darkness.

He walked up to Leiya, kicked her down, stepped on the wound where she was hit, and crushed her several times.

"Ah..." Lei Ya screamed in pain and fainted.

In the dim light, Lu Qian pursed his lips, gripped the door of the iron cage, frowned, and tried to see the face of the person who came.

"Hi~"

The man spoke, his tone light and cheerful.

When Lu Qian heard this voice, his eyes widened wider and wider, and fear and confusion instantly filled his eyes.

She couldn't believe her ears, or rather, she couldn't accept the fact.

"Louis?!"

When Louis heard Lu Qian's exclamation, he put down his foot that was stepping on Lei Ya and slowly walked out of the shadows.

"Are you surprised to see me?" he asked, his voice as gentle and gentlemanly as ever.

Lu Qian looked at his face, her eyelashes trembling wildly, with an expression of disbelief.

"How...why..." It's you...

"Please reintroduce yourself,"

Louis smiled softly, looked at Lu Qian's stunned face, and walked towards the iron cage with light and graceful steps.

"My full name is Louis Hanover, the first heir to the House of Hanover, a British royal aristocrat.

He is also the stepson of British Naval Captain Lu Ao Hanover."

Louis gently bent his tall and thin waist, following standard court etiquette. He was as elegant and gentlemanly as ever, with his hair on his forehead rippling slightly, looking extremely noble.

"Or there's a closer algorithm."

He raised his face with a smile and slowly took out a pistol from his waist.

He loaded the gun slowly, aimed it at Lu Qian's forehead, and gradually exerted force on the hand that was pulling the trigger.

"Yours, stepbrother."
