He was absolutely certain that he hadn't fired that shot!
Although he was indeed feigning surrender and admitting defeat, trying to distract Nick with words while attempting to ambush him, he hadn't even had a chance to fire a shot yet.
Nick had already fallen in front of him.
One shot to the head!
The thought that there were other people hiding nearby made Huo Mingzhe instantly lose his composure.
He gripped the gun tightly.
Then turned around.
To his surprise, as soon as he turned around, he saw a group of unfamiliar faces rapidly gathering around him.
The next moment.
Huo Mingzhe was surrounded by people.
Four or five guns were pointed at him at the same time.
"Who are you?"
Huo Mingzhe forced himself to calm down.
He glared at the leader and threatened coldly, "Tell them to put down their guns. I'm Mr. Ronnie's man. If you dare touch me, Mr. Ronnie won't let you off... um..."
I got a real kick to the stomach.
Huo Mingzhe was in so much pain that he knelt down on one knee.
By sheer coincidence, she knelt down in front of Lu Lingxiao's shoes.
Lu Lingxiao glanced down at Huo Mingzhe and then said to Alice's people, "My wife and I only need him. The others are yours."
"Thank you!" The bodyguard gave a standard Western gentleman's bow.
He was very sincere. After he finished speaking, he led his men to clear the area, taking care of the wounded mercenaries one by one, leaving only Huo Mingzhe behind.
After dealing with everyone, Alice's bodyguards didn't waste a moment and left immediately because they had to rush to the underground black market to provide support.
After Feng Zhiyi and Alice's people had gone far away, she said something to Lu Lingxiao and then turned and walked into the mansion.
All the troubles have been resolved, and now only Huo Mingzhe remains. With Lu Lingxiao around, Huo Mingzhe can't escape, so what she needs to do now is go in and wreak havoc!
Lu Lingxiao lowered his head slightly, looking at Huo Mingzhe who was still clutching his stomach and hadn't recovered. He parted his thin lips slightly, "Huo Mingzhe, now, tell me, do you think I dare to touch you?"
"you......"
Upon hearing that this man actually knew him and even his full name, Huo Mingzhe panicked instantly, especially since all the people he brought with him were dead, not one of them was left, which made him even more anxious and uneasy.
He slowly raised his head to look at Lu Lingxiao, gritting his teeth and asking in a panic, "Who...who exactly are you?"
Huo Mingzhe warily sized up Lu Lingxiao, who had suddenly appeared.
He spent more than half a year in Chicago, getting to know many wealthy and powerful people through Mr. Ronnie, but no one ever knew his real name.
How did this man know?
"Want to know?"
Lu Lingxiao suddenly smiled, raised his eyebrows, and said casually, "Go ask your grandma underground, she will definitely tell you."
"you!"
Upon hearing Lu Lingxiao's words, Huo Mingzhe was instantly enraged, and at the same time, his doubts deepened.
Who exactly is this Chinese man?
"You want to kill me? I must say, you've got some nerve. This is Chicago, USA, not China. I have Mr. Ronnie backing me up. If you kill me, you won't live long either."
"Whatever—"
Lu Lingxiao shrugged indifferently, "But you should worry about yourself now! After all, you're already in my hands, and soon you'll be taken back to Z country to face legal punishment!"
Huo Mingzhe's expression changed drastically.
"Oh, right, you didn't know? Your grandma has passed away, and your parents and dozens of other members of the Jiang family have all been arrested. Your parents are suffering on the farm right now."
"What did you say?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Mingzhe's pupils constricted sharply, his face filled with disbelief.
His face turned pale, and he shook his head, muttering to himself, "No, this can't be. My grandma... my grandma was so healthy, how could she die..."
And how could his parents possibly have been arrested?
Nothing is impossible—
After saying this coldly, Lu Lingxiao knocked him unconscious with a single palm strike.
Even as he was struck unconscious, Huo Mingzhe still couldn't believe his grandmother had died so suddenly...

"Please come in, gentlemen!"
The bodyguards were standing guard outside the VIP ward. When they saw the people walking towards them, they stepped aside and ushered the two people into the ward.
"YOYO, Mr. Lu, you've arrived!"
When Lady Elsa saw the person enter, she quickly came forward. When her gaze fell on Feng Zhiyi's delicate and pretty face, she naturally smiled gently.
She held Feng Zhiyi's hands affectionately and led her towards Alice's room. "After Alice woke up, she kept talking about you, saying that time was passing so slowly and it was so late, and you still hadn't come."
Feng Zhiyi raised her lips in a smile, "Is her injury any better?"
Mrs. Elsa nodded, her smile warm and her voice pleasant. "She's much better now, at least her complexion is better than yesterday, but her injuries will require some time to heal."
Feng Zhiyi nodded slightly.
It was a gunshot wound after all, so it naturally needed time to heal. However, the hemostatic medicine she gave Alice was extremely effective because she had added some spiritual spring water to it.
Otherwise, Alice wouldn't have looked so good when she went to the hotel yesterday.
"YOYO!"
Upon hearing the noise, Alice immediately threw the documents in her hand onto the bedside table, turned around, and saw Feng Zhiyi. Her face instantly lit up with a bright and cheerful smile. "YOYO, you've finally come to see me!"
"I've been waiting for you for so long, until the flowers have all withered, and finally you've arrived!"
Feng Zhiyi, "..."
This is as if they're very familiar with each other and haven't seen each other for a long time.
"You look so healthy and in great spirits, will you be able to be discharged from the hospital soon?"
Alice replied with a smile, "Yes, my mother asked the hospital director this morning, and he said that she can be discharged the day after tomorrow to go back to China to recuperate."
As she spoke, she reached out and took Feng Zhiyi's hand in hers.
The movements were so skillful and natural.
It was as if they were best friends who had known each other for many years, their relationship was exceptionally close, and they didn't feel any awkwardness or distance at all.
"That's good." Feng Zhiyi smiled lightly.
She glanced at Alice, then said to her, "My husband and I came here, firstly to see you, and secondly to say goodbye. We're leaving Chicago for other places."
Alice paused for a moment upon hearing this, and asked in surprise, "YOYO, are you leaving so soon?"
She hasn't had a proper talk with YOYO yet.
"How about you two go on a trip to Country Y? You can come with us, my mother has arranged a private jet..."
