Bang! A bullet pierced through one of his underlings.
That underling promptly fell to the ground.
The originally romantic atmosphere was quickly filled with the smell of blood and gunpowder. The other underling turned around and saw Tang Chenyi holding a gun in his hand. He looked at him coldly with his almond-shaped eyes and pulled the trigger without batting an eyelid. There was another 'bang'.
The two gunshots resounded in Lu Jinwen's ears. The cigarette in his fingers fell to the ground. His tall and handsome body slid down and he knelt on one knee.
Two drops of blood flowed from his nose and his consciousness became blurry.
Butler Ye's expression changed. "Sir, what happened to you?"
Lu Jinwen's vision darkened. He shook his head forcefully and lifted his eyes to look at Lin Xuanji.
Lin Xuanji had already gotten up and walked over to Tang Chenyi's side. She was wrapped in a bright red woolen cloak and her delicate face was cold.
Now that she was standing and he was kneeling on one knee, she looked at him coldly. "I poisoned you."
"Madam Xuanji, what poison did you poison Sir?"
Lin Xuanji curved her red lips and looked at the man in the eyes. "How could I possibly use Lin Xuanyin to deceive a man like you? I wanted to escape, but you deliberately let me escape. You wanted to see how far I could escape. I was just playing along with you.
"It wasn't easy to poison you. I poisoned myself when you raped me just now."
Lu Jinwen's blood-red almond-shaped eyes glinted sharply. He had already guessed that she had set up a series of traps today.
She used her own body as bait to lure him into taking the bait and then poisoned him.
Good, this woman was still as intelligent and decisive as she was many years ago.
Lu Jinwen placed his large palms on his knees and stood up. He walked towards her.
Bang, a loud sound.
A bullet had pierced through Lu Jinwen's right leg.
Boom. There was a loud sound.
Lu Jinwen knelt on one knee.
"Sir!" Butler Ye shouted. He lifted his eyes and saw Tang Chenyi's cold almond-shaped eyes peeking out from under the black muzzle of the gun. He looked at Lu Jinwen calmly and coldly.
"Lu Jinwen." Lin Xuanji looked at the man who was kneeling on the ground coldly. "I, Lin Xuanji, have lived an unsatisfactory life here. My children have also been implicated by me and they have never enjoyed a mother's love. I'm not a saint, I'm even a little vengeful and I'll definitely seek revenge for the smallest grievance. I don't have the ability to take revenge now, so I can only leave today. But I'll definitely return in the future.
"Lu Jinwen, I know I may not be your match, so please don't fall in love with me. If I become your only weakness in this life, then I will turn myself into the most powerful spear and pierce through your unarmored heart."
"Madam Xuanji, what poison did you give Sir? Leave the antidote behind," Butler Ye exclaimed.
"Someone will send the antidote over after we leave this place safely." Lin Xuanji then looked at Tang Chenyi. "Chenyi, let's go."
Tang Chenyi looked at Lin Xuanji and spat out two words. "Elder … Elder Sister …"
Lin Xuanji shook her head. "We can't bring Mo 'er away. To Mo' er, her man, her baby and her family are all here. Leaving with us might not be the best outcome, but we'll still come back to pick Mo 'er up. Very soon."
She had never been a good mother in her entire life. She was different from Lu Jinwen. Lu Jinwen was still thinking about love at this age, but she only wanted to be a good mother for the rest of her life.
Her Mo 'er, her Chenyi, this pair of children were hers, and they were only hers.
Tang Chenyi's gaze softened and he retreated with Lin Xuanji.
At this moment, Lu Jinwen stood up again. His right leg was bleeding, but he walked towards Lin Xuanji. He moved his thin lips, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything.
Bang. Tang Chenyi fired another shot.
Bang. Lu Jinwen knelt on the ground again.
Lu Jinwen's handsome and chiseled face was covered in a layer of cold sweat. He looked sinister and terrifying, and the veins on his forehead were throbbing. He placed his hands on his knees and tried to stand up again.
At this moment, Tang Chenyi fired another shot.
Butler Ye watched helplessly as Tang Chenyi fired three shots at Lu Jinwen. This 18-year-old was so cold and ruthless.
Lu Jinwen's legs were shot again and blood flowed down, but he still tried to stand up.
He really did stand up.
He walked towards Lin Xuanji step by step.
At this moment, Tang Chenyi raised the gun in his hand and aimed the black muzzle at Lu Jinwen's heart.
"Sir!" Housekeeper Ye shouted.
Lu Jinwen took a step forward and blood flowed down his body. He didn't seem to see the gun in Tang Chenyi's hand. All he knew was that Lin Xuanji's face was getting closer and closer to him. He was getting closer and closer to her. He was about to catch her.
At this moment, his vision darkened and he knelt down.
He placed his hands on his knees and tried to stand up again, but after a few attempts, he couldn't get up.
His blood-red and cold almond-shaped eyes were fixated on that beautiful face. Her face became blurred in his vision. He moved his thin lips. "Don't go …"
He said, don't go.
This time, Lin Xuanji heard him.
Tang Chenyi aimed the muzzle at Lu Jinwen's heart and was prepared to shoot.
But at this moment, a hand reached over and pressed on the gun in his hand. Lin Xuanji's gentle voice was laced with sorrow. "Chenyi, don't kill him. I've said it before, he's your father."
The moment she regained consciousness, she told this secret to Tang Chenyi.
Lu Jinwen didn't have the right to know this secret his entire life. Everyone thought that she was ruthless, but that wasn't entirely true. Back then, when she was under house arrest, she didn't have the ability to protect Chenyi at all. Her first child, Mo 'er, was almost given to Lin Xuanyin by Lu Jinwen to call her Mom. Her second child was killed by Lin Xuanyin and the baby was born. What would happen to her third child, Tang Chenyi?
There were too many people who didn't want her to give birth to Lu Jinwen's son.
No one knew what kind of desperate situation she was in back then, what kind of struggle, pain and despair she had experienced.
No one. She didn't even have anyone to talk to. Not a single person.
Her relationship with Lu Jinwen had been severed when she lost her second child and he slapped her across the face. But she had to be happy with this man called Lu Jinwen. She could only please him and live on his whims when he was happy.
Her Mo 'er, her Chenyi, they didn't have a good life for so many years. But as a mother, she was really helpless.
She bore all the pain and fell into a deep sleep. She was immersed in her own nightmare and couldn't get out of it. Her heart ached and she felt guilty. That was her son.
Lu Jinwen didn't have the right to know this secret, but Chenyi did.
Chenyi had the right to know about his father.
So when she regained consciousness, she told Chenyi this secret.
But Chenyi's cold gaze told her that he didn't love this father of his.
When he pointed the gun at Lu Jinwen, he really had the intention to kill him.
Lin Xuanji knew that the fate between this son and this father had long been severed. But in the end, this son still took after his father.
With a loud thud, Lu Jinwen collapsed onto the ground.
Lin Xuanji didn't take a second look at Lu Jinwen. It had been so many years and the past had passed in a flash. The love and hatred between them were like smoke. She felt that it was too much even if she took a second look at him.
"Chenyi, let's go."
Lin Xuanji held Tang Chenyi's hand and left.
The two figures disappeared from his line of sight. Lu Jinwen stared at her. She was wearing a bright red wool cloak, just like the red cloak she had worn in the temple many years ago, shimmering and elegant.
She left. She left so decisively.
"Don't go …"
Don't go.
He wouldn't let her go.
He had spent so many years to find her.
Ten years, twenty years … time passed by like an hourglass. Half of his life had passed. He didn't have so many years left to find her and wait for her.
Don't go.
Lu Jinwen was still moving his thin lips. Butler Ye squatted down to listen. He only heard the man murmuring, "I'm sorry … I'm sorry …"
He said, "I'm sorry."
…
Lin Xuanji disappeared with Tang Chenyi. No one knew where they went. It was as if they had vanished from the face of the earth. Even Jun Mosheng and Tang Mo 'er had no idea.
Jun Mosheng wanted to bring Tang Mo 'er back to Country Z, but Tang Mo' er rejected him. That day, Jun Mosheng stood at the pier and looked at the waves of the river. "It's been so many years, but I still can't catch up to her."
Regardless of the love and hatred between her and Lu Jinwen, it was still their world.
In the blink of an eye, another four months had passed. Tang Mo 'er was already seven months pregnant.
During this period of time, she didn't try to find out more about Lu Jinwen. She heard that Lu Jinwen had returned to the Capital. Following Lin Xuanji's departure, the Lu family seemed to have suffered another blow. Be it Lu Jinwen, Lin Xuanyin or the Lu family, they had completely disappeared from the public eye.
Sometimes, people would look at the Lu family's villa from afar. The villa seemed to be colder than usual. There wasn't much sunlight all year round. It was like hell on earth.
After An 'an came back from Miaojiang, she was hospitalized for chemotherapy. A series of chemotherapy treatments were not effective. An' an's body kept increasing and she was sent to the operating room for emergency treatment at night.
An 'an was saved, but the doctor had already told them to prepare for the worst. Gu Mohan and the medical team discussed day and night, but there was no solution.
One day, Tang Mo 'er brewed some soup and came to the ward with a thermos flask. An' an wasn't on the bed. She was standing in front of the window.
She was wearing a blue and white striped hospital gown. The smallest hospital gown looked empty on her. An 'an had lost a lot of weight these days.
