Chapter 228: Chapter 234: If we had not been entangled, I would always regard you as a friend or even as family
"I didn’t expect you to find me so quickly. I really underestimated your ability."
As Li Chenghao spoke, his gaze flicked imperceptibly to the outside, seeing that all his men had been subdued by Lu Jinghan’s subordinates.
Lu Jinghan raised his hand and took the gun from his back, pressing the muzzle to Li Chenghao’s temple while his finger toyed with the trigger. His voice was as cold as ice: "You’re looking for death."
The dagger in Li Chenghao’s hand hovered threateningly at Han Xi’s neck, as he looked at the woman beside him with a grin: "Back in college, we were so in love. How did we end up like this now?"
"Li Chenghao, if you hadn’t persisted, I would have always considered you a friend, even family."
Meanwhile, Feng Yi had silently snuck up behind Li Chenghao and swiftly broke the wrist holding the knife.
As the sound of the dropping dagger rang out, Lu Jinghan pulled Han Xi into his embrace, finally releasing the tightly wound tension in his heart.
Han Xi wrapped her arms tightly around Lu Jinghan, the torrents of her tears soaking through his black shirt.
"Silly girl, don’t be afraid."
Lu Jinghan cupped Han Xi’s tear-streaked face, filled with heartache.
"Jing Han, I want to go home."
Han Xi’s throat was tight, her reddened eyes filled with bitter grief.
Lu Jinghan embraced Han Xi, his gun steady in his right hand as he aimed it squarely at Li Chenghao’s temple, his finger slowly squeezing the trigger.
"Jing Han, he didn’t do anything to me, nothing happened."
Han Xi’s small hand covered Lu Jinghan’s hand on the gun: "I don’t want you to kill."
Lu Jinghan’s gaze darkened as he looked at Li Chenghao pressed to the ground by Feng Yi. After a few minutes of hesitation, he finally put away the gun.
"I’ll leave him to you guys to handle."
"Alright, quickly take Little Sister-in-law back home."
Fu Bin patted Lu Jinghan on the shoulder, giving him a look that promised he would deal with this thoroughly.
Lu Jinghan entwined his fingers tightly with Han Xi’s, leaving the chapel together.
"Lu Jinghan, if you have the guts, just kill me. Otherwise, I will always be your nemesis."
Feng Yi harshly kicked Li Chenghao in the stomach: "Do you really dare to be so arrogant? Do you believe I’ll cripple you right now?"
Fu Bin looked down disdainfully at Li Chenghao on the ground, taking a cigarette from his pocket and lighting it. Through the thin mist of smoke, his eyes were chillingly cold: "Ha, you really do think highly of yourself, calling yourself a nemesis? You think you’re so important. Those two are lovey-dovey in bed every day, do you know how happy they are? Does jealousy taste that bad?"
Li Chenghao was provoked by Fu Bin’s words. He shakily got up from the ground, roaring in rage: "Xiao Xi is mine, is mine... I’m going to kill Lu Jinghan."
Fu Bin’s clenched fist swung at Li Chenghao: "Today, I’ll make you crawl out of here."
The chapel doors slammed shut.
.......
Lu Jinghan led Han Xi to the back seat of the car, with the assistant Xiao Zhang quickly starting the car to leave.
Han Xi hadn’t slept all night, her whole being trapped in a state of high tension and panic. Now, resting against Lu Jinghan, she finally fell asleep.
Seeing the tiny sparkling tears caught in her eyelashes, Lu Jing felt his whole heart ache as if it were about to stop.
Han Xi’s small hand clutched tightly at his shirt collar, murmuring now and then, "Jing Han..."
