    Pshhhh...


    Blood sttered relentlessly out of An’an’s chest.


    Long Da had stood in front of An’an and so the blood had sttered right on his face. It was still warm.


    After spending tens of years in the underworld, Long Da had thought of himself as a fearless daredevil and yet he felt defeated by An’an. He was stunned and his legs gave way after witnessing An’an stab herself in the heart without even batting an eyelid.


    An’an fell on the ground in slow motion, just like a kite with a broken string. Her cold gaze was fixated on Lu Yan and her clear eyes were watery as tears streamed down her face.


    She was actually afraid to face death, she still wanted to live on and protect him to her best ability.


    To do her best and guard over this lonely man.


    Lu Yan’s brown pupils contracted in an instant. An’an copsed right in front of his eyes on the ground with a bang, her body and hands were stained with her own blood.


    The scene of the garish blood around An’an stuck in Lu Yan’s mind, torturing him on an endless repeat.


    He turned around with breakneck speed and snatched a gun from one of Long Da’s underlings. Bang. Bang. Bang. The underlings copsed like flies.


    Stretching out his long legs, he appeared by An’an’s side at an inhuman speed, squatting down beside her trembling body. Lifting her up, he pulled her into his embrace.


    Her pale face was also stained with blood, he wiped away the bloodstains on her tiny face and the air around them quietened to a deadly silence. It was as though the entire world was silent, only the faint sound of her breathing could be heard.


    “An’an, don’t be afraid. Everything will be fine... You won’t die. I’ll take you to the hospital now...”


    Long Da continued looking at Lu Yan, he realized that Lu Yan’s veins were twitching all over, his menacing aura scared Long Da inside. However, Lu Yan seemed to be more concerned about An’an and didn’t care about anything else, Long Da no longer found him threatening seeing him like this.


    Long Daughed creepily, pulling out a gun that was hidden around his waist and aimed it right at Lu Yan.


    Bang!


    Long Da lowered his eyes, only to see a gun shot on his heart. He was shocked, his face pale and eyes wide before he copsed to the ground.


    Outside the factory, on the ill-maintained field, a luxurious private jetnded. The cabin door opened and a man leaned against itzily. He had one leg bent and the other was suspended in mid-air. The cold wind blew around his ck shirt and his aura wasplete with a sharp coldness.


    He held a sniper rifle in his hands and it was evident he had just fired a shot, judging from the smoke around the bullet hole. It had been years since hest fired a shot, and yet, he was still as precise as before.


    Two Jeeps drove over and trained special forces alighted from the vehicles. They were fully armed and surrounded the factory in no time.


    The man lifted his hand and gave a signal before the special forces broke into the factory, holding Long Da’s underlings captive.


    Lu Yan had carried An’an out of the factory, a doctor speedily ran over. “Young Master, please ce Miss An’an down so that I can take a look at her.”


    Lu Yan ced the feeble girl in his arms down on the stretcher, the doctor took a look at her injuries and reported, “Young Master, fortunately, Miss An’an’s injury isn’t fatal since she didn’t stab her heart. Luckily, her wound is just one millimeter away from it. There’s still hope for Miss An’an. Hurry and bring her to the hospital, she needs surgery as soon as possible.”


    Lu Yan held onto An’an’s ice-cold hands tightly, he tried his best to rub them all over, hoping to pass some warmth onto her hands. “An’an, wake up, don’t sleep, you have to be strong. You have to live on...”


    As if she had heard Lu Yan calling out to her, An’an opened her eyes with much difficulty and smiled at Lu Yan through bleary eyes. Her voice was faint as she asked him again, “Ah Yan, do you... love... me?”


    <i>Ah Yan, do you love me?</i>


    She asked him that question once again.


    Lu Yan’s brown eyes werepletely bloodshot, he red at her with a menacing look in his eyes. “I don’t love you.”


    He still insisted that he didn’t love her.


    Tears started to stream down An’an’s face, it slowly disappeared into her silky ck hair. She slowly shut her eyes.


    She had shut her eyes.


    Was she dead?


    Lu Yan hurriedly buried An’an’s face in his chest, the heart wrenching pain in his chest wasn’t gone yet. The veins on his body were all twitching and about to explode, he kissed her silky hair forcefully and eximed with thest bit of energy he had in himself, “Yes... yes... I love you.”


    When she was five years old, he was 22 years old and the whole 13 years they had spent together was more than enough to build a strong bond between them.


    He was alone and she was alone too, when they spent time together they would be one whole.


    He had raised her up and she promised to guard over him in the future. The way they looked at each other in a very different way, they no longer had a father-daughter rtionship but rather one that was a taboo, a romantic one.


    However, it wasn’t right for him to do that. Though he was already a grownup man, she wasn’t one yet.


    It was a pity that An’an had arrived at the wrong time, if only she had been born earlier.


    The one thing he couldn’t ever y with in life was his romantic feelings. Furthermore, he was dealing with a rtionship that would be seen as a taboo, he didn’t want to be involved in it.


    However, she wasn’t willing to give up on him, she had continued forcing him all the way.


    Lu Yan hugged onto An’an tightly, his bloodshot eyes were about to have blood dripping out of them, why did his heart hurt so much?


    He then felt a felt arge palm pressing on his shoulder, it was a firm yetforting grip. He heard a deep voice behind him. “Ah Yan.”


    Lu Yan was stunned, he turned his head around and spotted someone. He greeted, “Uncle Jin.”


    Lu Jinwen had handed the sniper rifle to his underling and looked at Lu Yan with a judgmental demeanor. “Ah Yan, let go now. Hand An’an over to the doctor, there’s still hope for her.”


    Lu Yan had regained his senses, he let go of his grip and allowed the doctor to take over. The doctor hurriedly brought An’an onto the ambnce.


    Lu Jinwen then retracted his arm, apanying Lu Yan onto the ambnce.


    ...


    Lu Qi’er had left long ago, she wasn’t foolish enough to stay and court death. If An’an were to die, it would be considered a sessful revenge.


    She was driving along the streets when she noticed a ck van following her from behind. Lu Qi’er’s heart sank, she realized that she was still in a precarious situation.


    Whipping out her cell phone, she wanted to give her father a call to ask for help, butーbang! The van mmed into her car.


    Lu Qi’er’s car crashed into a fence from the force from behind and her forehead hit the windscreen and she fainted.


    Two men dressed in ck alighted from the car and carried Lu Qi’er into their van.


    One of the men dressed in ck took out his cell phone and dialed a phone number. “Hello, Miss Lin. She’s in our hands.”


    An evilugh could be heard on the other end. It was said that the mantis stalked the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Lu Qi’er had been too naive to let her guard down. “I assume you know what to do next?”


    “Yes, I’ll... give Fu Qinglun a phone call right away.”


    With that settled, she hung up.


    ...


    <i>Louis Hills.</i>


    As Lin Shiyu witnessed Tang Mo’er’s happiest moment in life, she was truly happy for her friend, seeing she was getting married to the man she loved.


    Mo’er would definitely lead a blissful life after marrying Gu Mohan.


    When Lin Shiyu turned around, she suddenly saw a tall figure. It seemed that Fu Qinglun had been standing behind her from the beginning.
