899 A Promise in the Next Life (1/2)
He had never thought that one day she would agree to marry him because of Jun Mosheng.
Although she nodded her head and agreed, he should feel happy, instead, he felt very sad and lost deep down…
What was happening to him?
Lin Xuanji looked at Lu Jinwen. The man's face was lowered and his entire body was enveloped in loneliness and desolation.
All these years, they had fought like cats and dogs to the bitter end, refusing to give in. This man had always exuded the presence of an Emperor above everyone else and it was the first time she was seeing him like this.
Lin Xuanji's heart throbbed in pain. She did not know if the pain was due to the toxins, or… was her heart hurting for him?
At this moment, the doors of the helicopter opened and a man wearing a baseball cap nodded his head respectfully at the East Duke. ”Duke.”
”Bring President Jun up,” the East Duke commanded.
”Yes sir.”
The man in the baseball cap suddenly whipped out a revolver and aimed it at the East Duke.
The East Duke was stunned and promptly evaded. The bullet was fired at one of the assistants.
”You… who are you? This is not my plane. Where is my plane?”
The man in the baseball cap took off his cap and threw it into the cabin, revealing a handsome face. It was a man whom they had not seen for years… Lu Fan.
Lu Fan was Lu Jinwen's biological younger brother. When Lu Fan was younger, his idol was the ”Invincible East”[1] and he was subsequently thrown into the army. He was currently the Commanding Officer in the army.
The heavens had been exceptionally kind to the Lu family. Like his brother, Lu Fan showed no signs of aging and he exuded maturity and charm.
Lu Fan leaned lazily against the cabin door. ”You don't have to see, your plane has already been shot down by me. You won't be able to leave yourself and you're still thinking of taking someone away?”
”What?”
The East Duke retreated two steps, turned around and looked at Lu Jinwen. ”It's your doing?”
”It's me!”
At this moment, they heard a robust voice. Old Madam Lu was walking slowly down the staircase.
”Mom.” Lu Fan went over to Old Madam Lu and took his mother's arm, before throwing a dismissive glance at the East Duke. ”My Elder Brother doesn't have so much guts. Even if he invited me, I wouldn't come here.”
Lu Jinwen was speechless.
To put him down the moment he arrived, Lu Fan was really his biological younger brother!
Old Madam Lu looked at Lu Jinwen and nodded her head secretly - this son was still quite clever. He was able to coax Lin Xuanji to marry him by using the East Duke.
The East Duke realized that he had been used and that they were playing him at his own game!
”All of you, meet your deaths!”
At this moment, Old Master Lin took out a revolver and aimed it at Lin Xuanji.
Bang! The gun was fired once.
”Xuanji!”
”Xuanji!”
Two yells rang at once, and then a figure lunged at her. There was the sound of the bullet piercing through human flesh.
Lin Xuanji's eyes narrowed suddenly. She had even forgotten to breathe. It was Jun Mosheng. Jun Mosheng had lunged forward, protecting her, as he always had.
Always.
The bullet pierced through his heart.
”Mosheng!”
”Uncle!”
Two shrill cries rang out and time seemed to slow as Jun Mosheng collapsed onto the ground.
”Mosheng!” Lin Xuanji promptly pressed on Jun Mosheng's heart. Warm blood was smattering out and she did not know how to stop the bleeding. What should she do? Big droplets of tears fell down her face. Lin Xuanji was smiling amidst her tears. ”Mosheng, it's okay. We'll go to the hospital now! You'll be fine!”
The blood only continued to stain Jun Mosheng's white shirt and formed beautiful plum blossom flowers. Jun Mosheng looked at the night sky. The stars were twinkling brightly and they were so beautiful. He felt warmth on his face from Xuanji's tears.
