The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Lu An Ning instinctively stuck to the corner, alert for anyone approaching. It wasn't until Bai Lu and four thugs showed up that Lu An Ning suddenly had a bad feeling.
Even if Bai Lu gave the order from above, she might not obey it.
Bai Lu stood outside the iron bars, looking down at Lu An Ning. Seeing her current miserable state, Bai Lu was overjoyed. Thinking of Lu An Ning's performance in the Colosseum yesterday, Bai Lu was still amazed. She remembered that Lu An Ning had pulled out a well-made dagger in a critical moment.
With just a quick glance, she knew it was a good thing, extremely sharp.
Lu Anning felt his hair run down his body as Bai Lu stared at him. He couldn't help but ask, "Are we going to continue with the second round today?"
She forced herself to stand up, pretending to be unconcerned, which only made Bai Lu feel uncomfortable. After yesterday's life-and-death struggle, where she had personally watched a living person die in front of her, shouldn't she be terrified?
Or is it that Lu Anning's adaptability is too strong?
"You're looking forward to it, aren't you afraid of dying in the Colosseum?"
"Isn't this exactly the result you wanted to see? Besides, it seems like I can't choose now!"
"You're quite self-aware. Open the door!"
Bai Lu gave the order, but the guard behind her did not move, and Bai Lu was stunned for a moment.
"What are you two doing standing there? Didn't you hear me tell you to open the door?"
The two guards lowered their heads, and one of them said awkwardly, "Miss Bai, the higher-ups said no one can get close to her. If anything happens to her, both of us will be dead."
Bai Lu frowned. "When did this happen? How come I didn't know about it? Could it be that you were bribed by this woman and conspired with her to deceive me?"
The two guards hurriedly shook their heads and were about to explain when Bai Lu snatched the key from the guard's arms and opened the door herself.
"Miss Bai..."
"If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will kill you two first."
Seeing Bai Lu's dark face, the two guards dared not say anything. When Bai Lu walked in, one of the guards quickly and quietly left the scene.
Lu Anning was injured, and when he saw Bai Lu coming in, he immediately became alert.
"Bai Lu, what do you want to do?"
"Why? I brought you here to torture you, of course. I thought I'd see you beaten to death yesterday, but I didn't expect you to be so lucky and actually kill your opponent. It's hard for Tang Jingyuan, he's already a prisoner, but he still misses you. You know, he was in the Colosseum yesterday, watching you fight with others."
Lu An Ning's heart tightened, and she pursed her lips without saying a word.
"Let me guess, he should be staying with Rose right now. It's hard to say what will happen to a man and a woman alone. You're also a prisoner, and look at you. Tsk tsk! How pitiful!"
Lu Anning smiled and said, "You came here just to mock me? Bailu, I thought you were so powerful, but it turns out you're just a dog in front of others. You don't dare to touch me, so you can only satisfy your desire to talk nonsense. Who is more pitiful?"
"Lu Anning, you're looking for death."
Bai Lu's face darkened, anger rising in her heart. She rushed over and grabbed Lu An Ning's neck, pressing her hard against the wall. Seeing her painful expression due to the feeling of suffocation, Bai Lu laughed wildly.
"Aren't you very arrogant? How come you can't even struggle now that you're being held down like a dead fish? Lu Anning, I've wanted to beat you up for a long time. Before, you just relied on Tang Jingyuan to back you up and looked down on everyone. Now that you're here, I wonder who will still help you. Even if I kill you now, no one will dare to say anything."
She gritted her teeth and glared at Lu An Ning, increasing the strength in her hands.
Lu An Ning stared into Bai Lu's eyes, watching her lose herself in the pleasure of revenge. She used up her last bit of strength to reach for the dagger she had hidden on her body. In a flash, while Bai Lu was completely unprepared, Lu An Ning suddenly pulled out the dagger and stabbed at her.
She didn't want Bai Lu's life, but she didn't want her to have an easy time either. The sharp blade pierced Bai Lu's abdomen. Everything happened so fast that the two guards were stunned. Bai Lu let go of her hand in pain, but Lu An Ning kicked her hard again, and she fell to the ground.
She covered her wound, her face twisted in pain, and shouted, "What are you still standing there for! Hold him down."
Blood kept oozing out of the wound and dripping onto the ground through the gaps between his fingers. Lu Anning did not resist. He sat obediently on the ground and smiled with satisfaction.
"Bai Lu, have I ever told you not to mess with me? Even if I'm a fish on the chopping board now, if you want to touch me, I can bite off a piece of your flesh."
If she had been more ruthless just now, the knife would have stabbed his heart.
The wound was so deep that Bai Lu didn't even have the energy to call for help. Fearing something might happen, the two guards quickly found someone to carry Bai Lu out and find a doctor. For a moment, the dungeon was in chaos. Bai Lu pointed at Lu An Ning and fainted before she could even finish her sentence.
Lu Anning sat in the corner and sneered twice.
I thought Bai Lu was so powerful, but unexpectedly, it is still as fragile as a cardboard shell as before.
Only after everyone else had left did Lu Anning relax and lean against the wall, gasping for breath. The feeling of suffocation was unbearable. If she wasn't careful, she might not even be able to pull out the knife.
It was dangerous just now.
She looked at the blood-stained dagger in her hand and was thankful that her fourth brother had given her this as a birthday gift. She had always carried it with her, as it had saved her twice. However, she was afraid that she would not be able to keep this dagger with her any longer.
Looking around, Lu Anning fixed his sight on Yu Hui next door.
"Yu Hui, I need you to do me a favor..."
