Yuri shook her head innocently: "It wasn't me."
She wasn't that stupid to let Luo Xiu hurt Lu Zhiwei at this critical juncture; it wouldn't do her any good at all.
"If it wasn't you, then who was it? You prepared all these guns, and you insisted on playing this damn game." Luo Xiu forcefully shook off Yuri's wrist.
The area where she had been pinched was red and painful, so painful that tears welled up in her eyes.
Governor Pritt, who had been sitting in the back chair, suddenly stood up: "I had this modified gun put in here. It's a rare and very good gun, but I increased its recoil, which naturally affects its accuracy."
"Why did you do this?" Luo Xiu looked at Prit in disbelief.
If he weren't the governor, in charge of the state's military, he would have eliminated him on the spot.
"Because I wanted to test your temperament and see if you were a good match for my daughter. Obviously, you like the best things and are very ambitious, which is neither a bad thing nor a good thing."
This is a double-edged sword; you will pay the price for your ambition. From the moment you chose this gun, it was destined that you would hurt Miss Lu.
The governor explained to him slowly and deliberately.
Luo Xiu had no interest in lecturing him on any profound principles.
"Ha, the test is secondary, isn't it? The main thing is that your daughter Yuri likes me, and you want to help her get rid of the woman I love. The governor is really a hypocritical old fox."
Lothar exposed the governor's true colors on the spot.
That kind and gentle side is all fake.
How could someone who can defeat their opponent in an election rally be a pushover?
"Dad, what have you done?" Yuri looked at her father angrily.
The governor revealed his true colors, shrugging indifferently: "I just hope my daughter gets what she wants."
If only I had been a little luckier with that shot today.
Lu Zhiwei will die.
He would also try every means to settle this matter and cover up the uproar caused by Lu Zhiwei's death.
It's a pity that Lu Zhiwei didn't die.
It's practically impossible for my daughter to get Luo Xiu.
In his heart, there will always be room for the outstanding woman, Lu Zhiwei; there will be no room for You Li.
"It seems we really need to re-evaluate our relationship. I think I'll have to suspend the military's weapons supply for a while. If I'm not in a good mood, there's no need for cooperation."
Luo Xiu didn't say anything too absolute, but he did teach the governor a lesson.
After saying that, Luo Xiu left with a cold and arrogant air.
Watching his retreating figure, Yuri quickly caught up with him: "Brother Luo Xiu, are you still coming to my birthday party?"
Luo Xiu didn't answer, opened the car door and got in.
The car sped away into the darkness.
Shen Jinmo took Lu Zhiwei to a nearby hospital.
I registered at the emergency room and had the doctor clean and bandage my wound.
X-rays were taken, and it was confirmed that no bones were damaged.
Lu Zhiwei breathed a sigh of relief.
It takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone. If the right hand bone was truly pierced by a bullet, all subsequent work will have to be halted.
After leaving the emergency room, the two went to get their car together.
"Thank you for bringing me here, Mr. Shen. My injury isn't serious and won't interfere with my work." Lu Zhiwei noticed that Shen Jingmo's brows were furrowed and his expression was very serious.
Anyone who didn't know better would think she was dead, not injured.
"Injured like this, and you're still only thinking about work?" Shen Jinmo retorted.
"Isn't it because you're so anxious? Aren't you worried that my subsequent design work won't be able to proceed?" Lu Zhiwei asked seriously.
Shen Jinmo raised the corners of his mouth but didn't say anything more.
"Why do you want to live at the Luo family's house?" Shen Jinmo looked at her, puzzled.
"There are some things that need to be done at the Luo family's place."
"Is Luo Xiu really not your son's biological father?" Shen Jinmo pressed the elevator button.
There were many people in the elevator.
He deliberately used his body to block the people behind him, making room for Lu Zhiwei so that she wouldn't be squeezed.
Lu Zhiwei stood in front of him, wearing low heels that barely reached his shoulder.
He exuded a faint scent of pine, just like before.
"No, that's not it." Lu Zhiwei didn't expect him to have a gossip hobby. Seeing his curiosity, she told him the truth.
Anyway, he doesn't remember who she is, so he's not afraid of her bothering him again.
"Oh, so whose son is An'an? Your ex-husband's?" Shen Jingmo asked again.
The elevator went down two floors and stopped, where another group of people got in.
The elevator was packed to the brim.
Even at this hour, the elevators in the emergency room are still packed.
Lu Zhiwei was forced into Shen Jinmo's arms, her face almost pressed against his muscular chest.
This intimate contact made her feel somewhat uncomfortable.
She could only hunch over and try to avoid it as much as possible.
"You still know I have an ex-husband?"
I've heard a little about it.
"No," Lu Zhiwei denied.
Shen Jinmo hummed in agreement and didn't ask any further questions.
The elevator doors lead down to the basement level.
Lu Zhiwei quickly stepped out of the elevator, feeling much more relaxed and comfortable.
Shen Jinmo opened the car door and got into the driver's seat: "I'll take you home."
They escorted Lu Zhiwei to the entrance of the Luo family manor.
Lu Zhiwei opened the car door and got out.
She didn't even have a chance to say goodbye to him.
The black sedan roared away, speeding along at breakneck speed.
What did she do to offend him?
Back at the Luo family manor.
Lu Anyu rushed out of the room and ran straight into Lu Zhiwei's arms: "Mommy, Mommy, why are you back so late? I thought something had happened to you."
