Chapter 324 Betting with Her
"Don't worry," Louis scoffed, "You'll see it soon."
Hearing Louis' words, Lu Qian's mind instantly alerted: "What did you do to Cheng Yi?!"
She overlooked one point. The Charité Hospital held Cheng Yi's blood data. Even if the rest of them didn't know where the data came from, Louis certainly knew it.
He said there was progress in blood research... Was it progress that would benefit Cheng Yi, or progress that would put him to death?
"Don't worry, my baby."
Louis walked up to Lu Qian, squatted down, pinched her jaw, and forced her to raise her face.
"If he dies, you still have me. I won't let you be alone."
A gentle voice, flirtatious words.
"Bah!" Lu Qian spat at Louis angrily, "You lowly creature, do you think you're worthy?"
Louis frowned and tilted his head slightly.
"Oh."
"Do you really think I dare not touch you?"
He pinched Lu Qian's jaw with his hand and suddenly increased the force, deforming her pretty face.
"I'm not like him, treating you like a treasure."
"Louis, stop playing around," Lu Ao said lightly from behind him, "She is my child after all, you don't find it disgusting."
The disdain in his tone was hard to conceal.
Louis couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard Lu Ao's words, and glanced at him sideways, "You know, we nobles don't care about these things. Besides, she and I have no blood relationship."
Lu Ao crushed the cigar in his hand and angrily squeezed out a word from between his teeth: "A bunch of bastards."
He really looked down upon these hypocritical nobles.
He stood up from his chair and brushed past the two of them without even glancing at them. "We can have fun later. There are plenty of opportunities to kill Cheng Yi. Go find Rex for me first."
Louis glanced at Lu Qian and swung the hand that was pinching her jaw fiercely.
He stood up and strolled over to Lu Ao, "Rex is on his way."
He turned his head again and looked at Lu Qian, "You will see him soon."
“…”
Lu Qian gritted his teeth in anger. Sure enough, they had gone through so much trouble just to trick Cheng Yi here.
The silence that had just settled was suddenly broken by the sound of metal collision.
Louis looked up at the ceiling and said, "Oh, that's pretty fast. Speak of the devil."
Lu Qian was stunned for a moment. What do you mean fast?
After Louis sighed, the roaring sounds around him became louder and louder. The wall panels and door panels began to shake irregularly, and the surrounding walls trembled with a force that seemed to be collapsing, making a rumbling sound.
The ceiling also gradually rose up and separated from the ceiling of the room.
Lu Qian looked up and watched with a little panic.
What is going on?
The moment the ceiling left the wall, the wall panels began to creak and tilt, making a crackling sound from the friction, and in an instant, they collapsed with a loud bang.
The wall panels fell down, and the wind that swept in brought with it a strong smell of dust, the smell of weathered sand and gravel, the smell of tide, and a hint of... a subtle smell of gunpowder?
“Cough… cough…”
Lu Qian coughed a few times and his eyes were so blurry that he couldn't open them.
This isn't a room...it's clearly a huge ship.
On the deck, there were stands that were several stories high, and they were in the center of the stands.
“Boss!!”
Before Lu Qian could clearly see the situation around him, he heard Lei Ya's shout.
"Leiya!" Lu Qian responded from a distance.
Reya is fine, that's great.
She looked in the direction of the sound and scanned the stands, only to find that there were many more people here than she had imagined.
In addition to their people, many characters who attended the banquet also appeared here.
Lu Qian looked around and saw everyone sitting in the first row of the stands. In addition to Lei Ya, Jiang Luan was also there.
"Boss, I'm fine!" Lei Ya wanted to wave to Lu Qian, but she forgot that she had an injury on her shoulder. When she raised her hand, she pulled the wound and grimaced in pain.
"hiss--"
"Calm down!" Qingli quickly grabbed her arm and pushed her back into her seat.
But at this moment, Lu Qian had a bigger question lingering in his mind.
None of their people died, and everyone was safe, so what was Rex going through all the trouble to do...?
Just as Lu Qian was wondering, a gust of wind blew past behind him.
Before she could see who was coming, she fell into a familiar and strong embrace.
"Are you okay?" A low voice came from above.
Her eyebrows trembled slightly, and she shook her head gently, "It's okay."
She could feel the man holding her with increasing strength, and his body was trembling slightly.
"It's okay... I'm fine."
He didn't say anything, just held me like that.
Suddenly, applause came from behind.
"They really have a good relationship." Rex walked over from behind them, smiling brightly. "I really didn't expect that my little brother could have such a warm side."
Cheng Yi glanced at everyone standing on the stage, from Louis to Lu Ao, and finally fixed on Rex, "I'm already here, what do you want? My power, or my life."
His words were not questions, but real affirmations. Rex kidnapped Lu Qian and forced him to appear here. Cheng Yi didn't believe that he had no ulterior motives.
Rex shook his head and chuckled, "Do we really have to kill each other like this?"
A strong murderous intent rose in Cheng Yi's eyes, and his eagle eyes met Rex's eyes without any avoidance.
"Oh, coming out of your mouth like that..."
How could anything he did not amount to cannibalism?
Rex still smiled with narrowed eyes, "After all, if I don't get rid of you, how can I sit on the position of the head of the family safely?"
The tone was gentle, but the content was terrifying.
At this moment, Rocky handed a revolver to Rex.
"How long has it been since we last played at the gambling table? When was the last time?" He fiddled with the gun in his hand, tilting his head back as if reminiscing. "Were you sixteen? Or seventeen?"
Cheng Yi's face darkened. "I'm not interested in reminiscing about the past with you."
All the memories related to Rex are his pain.
"I miss you so much," Rex looked at Cheng Yi and opened his eyes a little, "Play with me again, my little brother."
Cheng Yi didn't waste any words, twisted his sleeves, and walked forward with a gloomy face.
"Bang!"
An unexpected gunshot rang out, and everyone in the audience was stunned. Cheng Yi's forward steps also stopped.
"ah!!"
A noble in the stands was shot down squarely, letting out a howl that echoed throughout the entire place.
He rolled over and fell to the ground with a look of extreme pain on his face.
The people in the stands looked at the wailing figure with cold eyes, their hearts unmoved. They were all people who had come through life on the brink of death. What was Rex doing? Killing a chicken to scare the monkeys? It was probably useless.
Rex held the revolver in his hand, and white smoke was still coming out of the muzzle.
"I don't want to bet with you."
Just when everyone was wondering what he was going to do, he turned the gun slightly, pointed it at Lu Qian's head, and smiled slightly.
"I want to bet with her."
