Tang Shunian thought for a while and then said, “You must make a promise that after I release Jing Yiran, you will never hunt me ever again in my life!”

In the killers’ field, a killer’s promise was the most effective of all. Since a killer couldn’t keep showing up in different places, an oral contract was held valid enough in such cases. As a result, all oral contracts were as effective as a written one, and the majority of killers would not break the promise, otherwise they would not be able to receive any more missions in future.

Tang Shunian did not trust Lu completely, but an oral promise was better than nothing. The more skilled a killer was, the more faithful she might be.

Angel had always had a wonderful reputation in killers’ field, and had never broken any promise.

Lu’s quick answer last time had made Tang Shunian suspicious. This time, she hesitated for a long time before spilling out one sentence, “If you let him go, I will not kill you.”

Having received Lu’s promise, Tang Shunian finally decided to trust her a bit.

“I need to talk with Jing Yiran.”

Without hesitation, Tang Shunian ordered his men to make the call.

When he was safe, he could order his men to release Jing Yiran falsely, and then his men could ambush him if Lu broke the promise. Jing Yiran was going to be his protection.

As for Shangguan Ning, he would go abroad and take her with him. He was definitely not going to leave without her.

She was such a fascinating woman that he could not let her go!

Also taking her away would definitely make Jing Yichen miserable and angry and he would spend the rest of his life in regret and hatred!

Soon the call connected, and Jing Yiran was startled when he heard Lu’s voice.

Three hours had passed since he was brought to this place, but no matter how much he asked them, these people had not spilled any information about who sent them.

Jing Yiran had thought that it was Yang Muyan who tried to kill him after discovering his collaboration with Jing Yichen, but that was not the case.

He had never expected that when Jing Yichen and his men went to capture Tang Shunian in B City, Tang Shunian was actually in A City! It was a city dominated by Jing Yichen, and even if he was not in A City, Tang Shunian could easily expose himself.

But what made Jing Yiran happy was that Lu was really alive!

That was the best news he had heard in a longtime.

But when Lu asked him where he was now, he was baffled.

He truly had no idea where he was, but he was certain that he was still in the city center of A City, because it had not taken him long to arrive here, blindfolded.

He described the environment and Lu said, “Okay, I know where it is. Wait for me there, and I will come and find you.”

Jing Yiran was glad that Lu was still alive and that he could leave this place, but he found it a bit uncomfortable, when he had to be saved by her.

Why was everything about them going in the opposite direction?

What he had been doing was what a woman was supposed to do, whilst what Lu did was what a man was supposed to do!

Jing Yiran was still in the middle of feeling shameful about getting rescued by Lu when she was already standing in front of him.

He got so startled that his eyes turned round!

It was impossible that she reached here so fast!

Jing Yiran rubbed his eyes, fearing that he was just dreaming.

But when he opened his eyes again, Lu was standing in front of him, gazing at him with a caring look.

She was really here!

That was way too fast. Could it have been that she was downstairs? Otherwise how did she arrive here so fast?

Tang Shunian’s men who were guarding Jing Yiran didn’t even realise when a whirlwind went past them and a woman appeared in the room.

They all got startled!

Was this woman a human or a ghost?! She was pale-looking and carried blood stains over her body.

Was she a female ghost that had just woken up and come out to seek blood?

The room fell deadly silent, and then a few seconds later, miserable screams could be heard from there.

They had totally forgotten Tang Shunian’s instructions and ran out for their lives.

This pale-looking woman was so scary. She might not be a ghost, but she could not have been a normal person!

Within a minute, everyone was gone.

Lu nodded in satisfaction when those men left so fast.

Good, that saved her the trouble of killing them.

Jing Yiran was standing by the window because he had been threatening to jump off the building. Those strong men had been creeping him out when they looked at him as if they were staring at a pretty woman.

He came off from the window ledge towards Lu and swept her into his arms.

“I am so glad that you are fine. I thought that I would never be able to see you again!”

Jing Yiran had not eaten or slept these past days. He kept thinking about Lu, fearing that something had happened to her. Now when she was standing in front of him, he finally let out a sigh of relief.

Lu pushed him away slightly and sized him up as she asked in a small voice. “Are you alright?”

Jing Yiran said, “Yes. No one dared to approach me fearing that I would jump off the building. Wasn’t it a good method?”

He noticed Lu’s pale face and the blood stain on her clothes.

He felt his heart ache. Even though the wounds on her were not fatal, he was concerned.

“Are you injured? I will take you to hospital!”

Jing Yiran tried to push Lu towards the exit.

Lu got rid of his hand and said, “I am fine, I can’t go to the hospital now, I need to finish my mission.”

Hearing that she was still going to look for Tang Shunian, Jing Yiran got furious and said, “Are you trying to get yourself killed? It is not necessary for you to kill him. Are you silly? Tang Shunian is Jing Yichen’s enemy, not yours. I forbid you to continue with this any longer. No more killing. Come with me to the hospital. Look at your pale face. You must have bled a lot.”
