Chapter 155 Don't throw dangerous things on the ground
Lu Jiunian strode over, grabbed Shi Nianzhi's arm, and pulled him up.
The man's face was cold. "What tricks are you playing?"
He then glanced at the hotel behind Shi Nianzhi, his eyes clearly indicating a misunderstanding.
He added, "You invited me to a place like this, wanting to have sex with me? You think it's possible to keep me by your side using such methods?"
Shi Nianzhi looked at Lu Jiunian, who was acting rather dramatic.
He wanted to mock Lu Jiunian, but in that instant, the image of him being with Lu Jiunian after losing his memory flashed through his mind, and his heart ached for no reason.
Yes, she tried hard to please him and be tactful in her attempts to appease him. She was deceived once, yet she still repeated the same mistake because of Lu Jiunian's overtures.
but,
It's no use.
Shi Nianzhi knew better than anyone that sleeping with Lu Jiunian and being devoted to him was useless.
"Yes, I asked you to come here to book a hotel room. Shall we do it?"
"Is it that you don't want to be my mistress?"
"Stop talking nonsense, are you going to do it?"
"Since you understand your own position, I have no reason to refuse you."
As Lu Jiunian approached, Nianzhi deliberately got closer.
Shi Nianzhi looked coldly at the man in front of him. He reached out and touched Lu Jiunian's heart. "Why can't you be honest? You belittle me with your words, but your body is so honest as to get close to me. If you love me, just say so. If you can't understand your own feelings, you'll end up with neither side."
Looking at Shi Nianzhi like this, Lu Jiunian seemed to dislike the indifference in Shi Nianzhi's eyes, so he reached out and covered Shi Nianzhi's eyes.
Shi Nianzhi suddenly grabbed Lu Jiunian's wrist and pulled his hand away.
When Shi Nianzhi looked up at Lu Jiunian, a hint of hostility flashed in the corners of her eyes.
"You know, I hate the dark, so don't cover my eyes with your hands."
His voice wasn't loud, yet it carried such a strong chill.
After a pause, Shi Nianzhi gave a sarcastic smile and leaned closer to Lu Jiunian, "Speaking of which, I didn't have this problem before, it's all thanks to you."
Lu Jiunian felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart. He gripped Shi Nianzhi's hand tightly with his knuckles.
He wanted to say something to comfort Shi Nianzhi, but he didn't know what to say.
Instead, Shi Nianzhi spoke up, "Can I take a walk with you?"
Lu Jiunian was probably feeling guilty, and surprisingly, he didn't refuse Shi Nianzhi or say anything hurtful.
Instead, she asked Shi Nianzhi, "Where do you want to go?"
Shi Nianzhi gestured with her chin toward the street in front of her. "This is fine. Let's just wander around."
"good."
Lu Jiunian walked beside Shi Nianzhi.
The two of them walked down the steps together and strolled slowly along the street. Because it was early morning, there were fewer people and vehicles on the street.
The bright streetlights cast long shadows of the two of them.
Several men dressed in black were hiding in an old van across the street, watching them intently.
"Boss, that looks like Master Lu."
"He's with Shi Nianzhi, should we still make a move?"
"If we accidentally hurt him, the rest of us will probably be thrown into the sea to feed the sharks before we even escape the capital."
"Don't rush, take another look."
"Boss, you should ask the employer for instructions, or we shouldn't take this order."
The scarred man at the head of the group took a deep drag on his cigarette and dialed Gu Zijian's number.
Gu Zijian's voice was somewhat excited, "It worked?"
“You didn’t mention beforehand that Master Lu was also on this deal. You should know that his influence in the capital is deeply entrenched, and he has connections in both the legal and illegal worlds. He’s not someone a few small fry like us can afford to offend.”
Gu Zijian's voice rose noticeably, "You mean Lu Jiunian is here too?"
Lu Jiunian had just comforted him when he turned around and went to find Shi Nianzhi. What did this mean?
Gu Zijian was terribly flustered. He gripped his phone tightly and said in a cold voice, "I'll double the money. Proceed as planned."
"this......"
Scarface was clearly hesitant.
Gu Zijian continued, "No one has ever offered you such a high price, has they? I can help you escape afterwards. With this money, it'll be enough for you to live on for the rest of your lives. I think you've had enough of this life on the run. How about we do this last job?"
"Third Master Lu..."
"Just avoid him. You have guns, what are you afraid of?"
"Okay, then. Just transfer half of the commission to us first, and we'll take action once it's in your account."
"Don't worry, this isn't the first time we've worked together."
The call has ended.
Two minutes later, Scarface checked his account balance and his eyes turned slightly red when he saw so many zeros.
If this order is placed, the amount will double, which is indeed enough to last the rest of my life.
Scarface took a deep drag on his cigarette, tossed it away, and ordered, "I'll drive past them in a bit. Sanzi, aim for the one in the school uniform. Fire a few more shots. The employer wants him dead. After this job, we'll escape and enjoy ourselves."
"Understood, boss. Don't worry."
......
Shi Nianzhi and Lu Jiunian didn't really have much to talk about, and the two walked on the street in silence.
Lu Jiunian, probably just making conversation, asked, "Is Gu Yuanyuan's injury healed?"
"My leg is now disabled."
Is there no cure?
"We'll see how things go with the recovery."
"I haven't seen him in a long time."
"What, you still miss him?"
Lu Jiunian glanced at Shi Nianzhi. Actually, he didn't miss Gu Yuanyuan; he missed Shi Nianzhi, the Shi Nianzhi whose eyes used to sparkle when she smiled.
He heard the sound of a car behind him, and Shi Nianzhi turned around to see the van rushing towards him.
"Look, that car, something seems off."
As soon as Shi Nianzhi finished speaking, Lu Jiunian turned around. He saw the speed of the car and immediately became alert.
Seeing the black car window roll down, Lu Jiunian's pupils contracted sharply. He grabbed Shi Nianzhi's wrist and said, "Danger! Hide quickly!"
"Bang----"
The gun is silenced, but the bullet still makes a sound when it hits an object.
Fortunately, Lu Jiunian reacted quickly and anticipated where the bullet would hit. He pressed on Shi Nianzhi's back, and the two of them bent over together, dodging the bullet.
He and Shi Nianzhi rolled together behind a car.
The van sped past, then, seeing that it hadn't succeeded, drove back against traffic.
"Boss, they're hiding behind the car. What do we do? We can't shoot them."
"get off."
Several masked thugs got out of the van. Lu Jiunian called the police on his phone and reassured Shi Nianzhi, "Don't be afraid, the police will be here soon."
Shi Nianzhi was held in Lu Jiunian's arms. "If I died, would you miss me?"
"Don't talk nonsense. With me here, nothing will happen to you."
"Look at how many of them there are, we can't escape. Lu Jiunian, can you tell me the truth? Do you love me or Gu Zijian?"
Is it love for him as a person, or for his name? He wants Lu Jiunian to figure it out!
Lu Jiunian remained silent, observing the people opposite him. "Fortunately, they only have one gun."
Shi Nianzhi insisted, "Is this question so hard to answer? Is it so hard for you to admit that you love me?"
Lu Jiunian calmly made a phone call, giving instructions to the other side. Less than a minute later, the power suddenly went out, the lights went out, and everything was plunged into darkness.
"You stay hidden, I'll take care of them."
Lu Jiunian bent down and moved to the front of the car.
Shi Nianzhi's eyes widened. He could vaguely see Lu Jiunian's blurry figure and heard the sounds of fighting.
Shi Nianzhi frowned slightly, then looked up at the thick cloud cover in the sky. "I already said, I don't like the dark."
In close combat, none of these thugs were a match for Lu Jiunian, and they were clearly at a disadvantage.
Scarface gripped his gun, pointing it at Lu Jiunian. "Third Master Lu, we had no intention of hurting you. If you want to live, just hand over the people around you to us."
"Really? It wasn't to buy my life after all."
Lu Jiunian walked towards the scarred man. Especially in situations like this, he couldn't afford to show weakness; that was the worst thing to do in psychological warfare.
Lu Jiunian was quite surprised, since the other party wasn't the one who wanted to kill him.
It is a destiny to remember it at all times.
"I can pay you double the amount the people who hired you, just tell me who they were."
"It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that I really don't know who it is. He's using a voice changer. Don't go any further, I'll shoot!"
"If you want money, then don't hurt anyone. Put down your gun, and I can give you the money and arrange for you to leave."
Lu Jiunian stopped where he was and patiently guided him.
Scarface hesitated.
He was too nervous to notice that someone had quietly approached him.
When Lu Jiunian saw Shi Nianzhi appear behind the scarred man, his heart jumped, and his hands, hanging at his sides, clenched involuntarily.
Shi Nianzhi is such an idiot. Who gave him the right to be so bold? He should have been told to hide!
But given the current situation, Lu Jiunian didn't dare say much. He could only continue talking to divert the scarred man's attention, "You don't want to spend the rest of your life in jail, do you? I'm not lying to you. You can buy peace with money. How much do you want? Name your price. I..."
Lu Jiunian suddenly fell silent. A sharp pain shot through his shoulder; he had been hit by a bullet.
Scarface watched Lu Jiunian sway slightly, and his voice trembled with fear, "It wasn't me, it wasn't me who drove it..."
Before he could finish speaking, Shi Nianzhi knocked him unconscious with a karate chop.
Shi Nianzhi snatched the gun from Scarface's hand, his eyes cold as he turned to watch Scarface fall, still gripping the gun.
The next second, a bullet struck Lu Jiunian's thigh with tremendous force. Lu Jiunian bent over in pain and looked at Shi Nianzhi.
Shock flashed in his eyes, "You—"
Shi Nianzhi immediately dropped the gun, his voice trembling with fear, "I just wanted to help you. I don't know, I don't know what I pressed. I didn't mean to. Are you alright?"
The sound of sirens grew louder as they approached.
Lu Jiunian looked at Shi Nianzhi, his forehead covered in cold sweat. He thought that Shi Nianzhi wouldn't have the guts to shoot him.
He was probably terrified, which is why his hands were shaking; it wasn't intentional.
Despite the excruciating pain, Lu Jiunian took two steps forward, bent down to pick up the gun, and said, "Never leave something so dangerous on the ground."
Shi Nianzhi raised an eyebrow; he knew they were out of bullets before throwing them.
