101: Chapter 100: The Powerful Jingang Assembly_1 101: Chapter 100: The Powerful Jingang Assembly_1 Liu Wanqiong sat on the sofa in her home, somewhat dazed as she looked at the guest room where Lv Zhong stayed.
Today, she was truly terrified.
Simultaneously, her mind was in utter turmoil.
That was something that only appeared in movies and novels, yet it occurred within the relatively law-abiding borders of China.
And this time, she and Lv Zhong had become the protagonists.
Although she was panicked when the car exploded, the scene where Lv Zhong held her and retreated frantically was forever imprinted in her heart.
In the dozen seconds when Lv Zhong was fleeing with her in his arms, he first turned around to shield her with his back from the explosive impact.
Then, fearing to hurt her when they were about to land, he forcefully flipped over to once again serve as her human shield, resulting in her remaining unscathed among the series of hazards.
In such a brief time, some people wouldn’t even have time to react.
Yet Lv Zhong had shielded her twice with his body, risking his own life to ensure that she remained uninjured.
This was definitely Lv Zhong’s instinctive reaction!
Liu Wanqiong firmly believed this.
Because of this belief, Liu Wanqiong’s heart was engulfed in profound happiness.
Her tightly bound heartstrings loosened under Lv Zhong’s death-defying protection.
Even in her heart, her ex-husband had never given her such soul-stirring and touching sensation.
The hero saving the damsel may be clichéd, but undeniably, it is indeed the most likely factor to capture a woman’s heart.
Besides, Lv Zhong’s act was different from the hero-saving-the-maiden scenes in movies and dramas.
In Liu Wanqiong’s eyes, Lv Zhong rescuing her so fervently was instinctive.
Because only someone who values her life more than his own can protect her twice at the expense of his own life in the face of imminent danger.
You know, Lv Zhong had excellent academic accomplishments and was definitely a candidate for Shui Mu University and Tianjing University.
Moreover, Lv Zhong was a nationally recognized medical genius and an unparalleled master of literature.
His life was far more valuable than any affluent person’s.
His future was promising; he had both power and wealth.
As for beauties, he could have them whenever he wanted.
Yet, such a promising young man instinctively or subconsciously risked his own life to protect her.
Who could be worth his doing so?
Thinking this way, how could Liu Wanqiong not be moved to tears?
While feeling moved, Liu Wanqiong also felt extreme heartache for Lv Zhong.
She gently touched the dried, almost scabbed blood that Lv Zhong had sprayed on her neck and chest, and her heartstrings were deeply touched.
At this moment, she suddenly felt extraordinarily blessed.
Sitting on the sofa deep in thought, Liu Wanqiong did not want to go to the bathroom to wash off Lv Zhong’s blood from her body.
She was greatly worried about his injury and intended to wait for Lv Zhong as soon as he came out.
Time slipped away quietly as Lv Zhong was treating his wounds and Liu Wanqiong was patiently waiting.
Lv Zhong still hadn’t emerged, while Liu Wanqiong had been sitting blankly on the sofa, waiting for three hours.
By this time, darkness had already fallen.
A sudden knocking at the door roused Liu Wanqiong from her stupor and worry.
Realizing someone was knocking at her door, Liu Wanqiong pulled herself together, stood up from the sofa, rubbed her somewhat numb legs, and walked towards the security door.
Opening the cat’s eye viewer in the security door, she peered out to see Zhao Ziyu in the illuminating light, looking worried and anxious.
Liu Wanqiong breathed a sigh of relief and opened the security door.
As soon as she entered the room, Zhao Ziyu noticed the large blood stain on Liu Wanqiong’s clothes and cried out in surprise, “Sister-in-law, are you okay?
But at this moment, Liu Wanqiong quickly covered Zhao Ziyu’s mouth, whispering, “Little Jade, don’t make too much noise; Little Zhong is healing, we shouldn’t disturb him…”
After saying this, Liu Wanqiong released her hand from Zhao Ziyu’s mouth.
“Sis…sister-in-law, but you…” Zhao Ziyu lowered her voice as her gaze fell on the large blood stain on Liu Wanqiong’s chest.
Despite having seen the horrible attack through traffic surveillance, the sight of the large blood-stains on Liu Wanqiong’s body prompted her to show concern.
With Zhao Ziyu’s comment, Liu Wanqiong’s eyes filled with tears, but she shook her head, “I’m fine.
But Little Zhong got injured twice while trying to save me…”
Zhao Ziyu silently nodded.
After viewing the surveillance footage, she no longer held any reservations about Lv Zhong, even feeling a faint jealousy towards Liu Wanqiong, a feeling she did not fully understand herself.
“Sister-in-law, I intended to come over as soon as you were in trouble, but a lot has happened in Yan City today.
I’ve been so busy until now that I’ve just managed to get some free time…” Zhao Ziyu mentioned the mysterious deaths of more than twenty people at the Kaman Party KTV and Gold Coast to Liu Wanqiong briefly.
Liu Wanqiong nodded blankly; frankly, she didn’t want to hear about things that had nothing to do with her.
At the moment, her mind was full of worry for Lv Zhong; how could she care about anything else?
Knowing her sister-in-law’s temperament, Zhao Ziyu gave a bitter smile, saying, “Sister-in-law, the reason I am telling you this is because Uncle suspects that Lv Zhong might be responsible for these murders.
Shortly after your accident, all these people died.
And the conditions of their deaths mirrored those on the three cars that had tailed you; their brains’ blood vessels burst…”
At this point, Liu Wanqiong was truly stunned, decisively shaking her head, “Little Jade, this can’t be possible.
I have been with Little Zhong all this while, and he is still recuperating from his injuries.
There’s no way he could have had a chance to kill, and certainly not at different locations, killing so many people simultaneously!”
Zhao Ziyu also nodded slightly, “I also think it’s not possible, but this is just uncle’s suspicion.
Uncle hasn’t mentioned this to anyone else yet, and he asked me to come and warn you and Lv Zhong to be careful.
After all, the forces behind the Kaman Party KTV, Gold Coast and others are extremely powerful and super wealthy, linked to significant people.
If they also mistake you and Lv Zhong for having something to do with this and start seeking revenge, that would be very bad…”
Listening to this, Liu Wanqiong turned pale.
All of a sudden, her worry for Lv Zhong reached an extreme point.
Being part of the Zhao family, Zhao Yuanyi had often warned or advised them about where they should avoid going, and whom they should not provoke.
The Kaman Party KTV, Gold Coast and others were places that Zhao Yuanyi had repeatedly cautioned them against because they were the most chaotic places in Yan City.
This Jingang Assembly had both money and power, and even influential backers.
It seemed like their supporter were also on the same level as the Leng Family, one of the ancient martial arts families.
These noble families have passed down their wealth from ancient times to the present, and they have an astonishing wealth.
They have many ancient martial artist followers.
If one incurs their retaliation, it is very dangerous.
