Feeling the person in his arms move, Tang Jingyuan calmly patted Lu Anning's back. After comforting the person, he slowly stood up and glanced at the person on the ground as if he were looking at a pile of garbage.
"I'm showing him mercy by letting him live."
Tang Jingyuan moved his sight to the left and his eyes met Rose's. Even though the other party had a gun pointed at his head, Tang Jingyuan was not afraid at all.
Rose stared at the arrogant man in front of her, her face extremely ugly.
"Do you really think I wouldn't dare shoot?"
Tang Jingyuan curled his lips and just held Lu Anning's hand: "The entire island is your sphere of influence. Not even a fly can fly in. Killing someone is easy for you, isn't it? Since I dared to hurt your people, I am not afraid of you pursuing me. Ningning is my wife. Even if I die, I will protect her."
Tang Jingyuan's tone was firm, as if he was determined to die together with Rose.
Without waiting for Rose to speak, Tang Jingyuan continued, "Now that I've fallen into your hands, I've prepared for the worst. However, if you really want to kill me, I'll make you pay a heavy price. If you don't believe me, we can give it a try."
Bai Yue, standing to the side, could no longer bear to listen. He shouted angrily, "Tang Jingyuan, with all your strength, if Rose gives the order, you won't be able to leave this room alive. Do you really think you're still the same as you were in your youth?"
"We'll know if it works out that way only after we try. What? Just because your leg is healed, you want to fight me?"
"Tang Jingyuan, who are you looking down on?"
Tang Jingyuan laughed sarcastically: "It's you who look down on yourself."
Rose held the gun, her gaze fixed on Tang Jingyuan, unmoving. This unwavering determination reminded her of her parents. Her mother had once told her that her father was the bravest man in the world. When she grew up, she wanted to find a man like him.
Over the years, she had met many people, even Bai Yue, who had to succumb to reality. But Tang Jingyuan in front of her didn't even blink an eye even when facing death.
Isn't this the man she has been looking for?
Such an outstanding man, but there is another woman living in his heart?
Rose frowned: "Tang Jingyuan, are you really not afraid of death?"
The gun was loaded, and he could die at any time if he moved his finger.
Tang Jingyuan hugged the person in his arms tightly, without the slightest hesitation: "The word 'fear' has never appeared in my dictionary."
"Okay! Then I'll grant your wish."
She took a half step back, and Lu Anning was pressed hard into Tang Jingyuan's arms. She struggled to look up to see what was happening, but Tang Jingyuan held her back. In the blink of an eye, Lu Anning heard another gunshot. Her heart felt like it was being gripped tightly, and she subconsciously hugged him tighter.
The whole room was as silent as death!
"Jingyuan?"
Lu Anning called out tentatively, but when she didn't get a response, she suddenly looked up. In that instant, a thousand possibilities flashed through her mind. She even thought that if anything happened to Tang Jingyuan, she would definitely fight with these people.
Seeing him standing straight in front of him with a normal expression, Lu Anning asked anxiously, "How are you? Are you hurt?"
Tang Jingyuan curled his lips and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm fine."
Lu Anning acted as if he didn't hear anything. He didn't care about the environment he was in. He carefully checked Tang Jingyuan from head to toe. He made sure that he didn't find any wounds on his body, but he still couldn't believe it.
Just now, Rose's gun was clearly pointed at him...
Tang Jingyuan turned his head to the side, and Lu Anning followed his gaze, only to find that Rose's shot had missed the target. The bullet had grazed them and was firmly embedded in the wall.
Lu Anning was still feeling relieved that Tang Jingyuan was not injured, but Rose was completely shocked by the determination of the man in front of her.
The muzzle of the gun was so close to him that even human instinct would have made him dodge. But he stood there motionless, and even when he heard the gunshot, his expression remained unchanged.
Isn't he afraid?
Bai Yue suddenly interrupted: "Are you going to let him go like this? A'long is your general, and now he's been injured by Tang Jingyuan and is only breathing his last. If you let him go, the brothers under you will be heartbroken. Rose, Tang Jingyuan can't keep her. If you let her go, how will everyone look at you!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Rose slapped Bai Yue hard on the face.
"I don't need you to teach me how to do this! Bai Yue, remember your own identity."
Bai Yue's face turned pale, but he didn't even dare to lose his temper. He could only lower his head: "That's not what I meant."
"It's not the best! This matter was originally caused by Aaron disobeying my orders. I have said before that no one is allowed to touch Lu Anning without my order. He and Bai Lu just asked for it. Let's end this matter here, even if it is a lesson for them. Do you have any objections?"
Bai Yue frowned, pursed his lips, and finally uttered two words: "I dare not."
"The most important thing right now is the development of new drugs. No one is allowed to interfere with me. Find someone to handle it and let him take good care of it. You will keep an eye on the things they are doing for the time being."
Bai Yue received the order and looked up at Tang Jingyuan and Lu Anning.
"Then they..."
"Go back to where you came from. I say again, no one is allowed to touch Lu Anning again without my order. Otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless with the gun in my hand."
The brief reunion only allowed Lu Anning and Tang Jingyuan to confirm that each other was safe. After this incident, Tang Jingyuan looked at Lu Anning with only worry in his eyes.
Seeing Lu Anning being taken away, Tang Jingyuan said nothing with a cold face.
On the island, he was always passive. Diing together was the worst plan, but he wanted to leave this hellhole with An Ning safely.
He had to find a way. If no one could escape, he had to at least find a way to send someone out to report the situation, so that they would have a chance to leave safely.
