While Lu Jinsheng was sound asleep, Shen Jianyi quietly got out of bed.
She walked into the study, took out a miniature phone, and quickly dialed a number.
Soon, Xia Liang's figure appeared on the projection.
"Have Sam and Vivian shown any strange behavior recently?" Shen Jianyi asked.
Xia Liang was wearing a pajamas with a bear pattern and was nestled in her own bed, binge - watching a drama. Hearing Shen Jianyi's question, her little brain immediately started to work.
"Not really. However, Sam was beaten up a few days ago. He was beaten so badly that there wasn't a single uninjured part on his body. But none of the wounds were life - threatening. According to Sam, the person who attacked him was Gun, who ranks first on the bounty list. Do you know him, Master?"
When mentioning Gun, stars began to sparkle in Xia Liang's eyes.
This Gun was so amazing! He had beaten the combat - capable Sam into a mess, and Sam didn't even have the ability to fight back!
In her opinion, this Gun and her master were a perfect match!
"Gun?"
Hearing this name, Shen Jianyi was a bit surprised.
When did Gun have a feud with Sam? Could it be because of competing for prey?
"Yeah, that's what Sam told the professor. The professor even told him to have a good rest. By the way, Master, why are you asking about them?" Xia Liang asked.
Only then did Shen Jianyi remember her main business.
"I encountered an explosion today."
"Explosion!!!"
Xia Liang bounced up from the bed. "Are you okay?!!!"
Shen Jianyi: "… Take a guess?"
Seeing Shen Jianyi's speechless expression, Xia Liang realized her mistake belatedly. She stuck out her tongue in embarrassment.
"I'm just too worried." She paused for a moment and continued, "Master, do you suspect that the professor ordered them to do it?"
"I suspect it was the Hummingbird."
Hearing the word "Hummingbird", Xia Liang's face changed slightly.
"Are you sure?"
"I can't find any traces. Apart from the Hummingbird, I can't think of anything else."
Back then, the organization had received an order from an underground mercenary to develop a very small but extremely powerful bomb.
It took them half a year to develop it, and they named it the Hummingbird.
All the signs of this explosion case showed an inseparable relationship with the Hummingbird.
"But these days, the professor has been on a trip with friends. Vivian has been taking care of Sam in the hospital, and Xu Wenji is still in a coma and hasn't woken up yet... Master, could there be someone else who has the Hummingbird?"
Xia Liang thought for a while and said softly, with a rare look of seriousness on her face.
Hearing what Xia Liang said, Shen Jianyi also showed a rare look of solemnity on her face.
Xia Liang wouldn't lie to her.
So, was this really not related to the organization?
Then who on earth wanted her dead?
Lu Ziqian?
She first thought of this name. But with Lu Ziqian's personality and his current status, there was absolutely no need for him to use a weapon that was only used in the underground world.
If he was found out, wouldn't that push the Lu family to a dead end?
However, if Lu Ziqian wasn't the head of the Lu family, then... Wait, not the head of the Lu family.
A name suddenly popped into her mind.
"Master, have you figured it out?"
Xia Liang watched Shen Jianyi's expression on the screen turn serious and then relax. Unable to contain her curiosity, she couldn't help but interrupt Shen Jianyi's train of thought.
"Almost. That's all for today. I've almost finished developing the old man's medicine. I'll give you an address later. You can go there to pick it up."
After saying that, Shen Jianyi directly hung up the video call.
She tiptoed back to the master bedroom. Lu Jinsheng was still in his original sleeping position.
She let out a sigh of relief and quietly climbed onto the bed. Just as she was about to step over Lu Jinsheng, a hand reached out, grabbed her foot, and gently tugged. Shen Jianyi directly fell on top of Lu Jinsheng.
Her nose hit his strong and solid chest, and the pain almost made her shed tears.
"Lu Jinsheng, what are you doing..."
She looked up angrily and saw the slightly red corners of the man's eyes in the darkness. Only then did she notice something was wrong with him.
His bipolar disorder had flared up again!
It must be that the events of the day had stimulated him too much, causing his mental state to become unstable again!
"Lu Jinsheng, I'm Shen Jianyi!"
Shen Jianyi's hands tightly grasped Lu Jinsheng's shoulders. She slightly raised her upper body, her bright eyes filled with worry.
The man seemed not to hear her.
His scarlet eyes were unfocused, but his hands still tightly held onto Shen Jianyi's waist.
"Yiyi..."
He almost roared out the words.
Great fear struck in the middle of the night, making Lu Jinsheng at this moment seem like a caged beast.
He was trapped in his own prison, as if he could see Shen Jianyi being torn apart in the explosion.
Until a hand landed on his heart.
By his ear, he heard the woman's soft whisper.
"I'm alive."
"Lu Jinsheng, I'm not dead. Look closely. I'm alive and lying in your arms."
The soft voice pulled his drifting thoughts back.
He opened his eyes and saw Shen Jianyi, who was looking worried in front of him.
His anxious mood gradually calmed down.
"Sorry, did I scare you?"
Lu Jinsheng sighed and let go of the hand that was holding Shen Jianyi.
She didn't get up but still lay on his reassuring chest.
"Where did you go?" Lu Jinsheng asked.
"I talked to Xia Liang."
Shen Jianyi didn't hide anything. "This matter... may be more complicated than we thought."
When it came to the main business, she struggled to sit up from Lu Jinsheng's arms. Half of her face was hidden in the dim yellow wall lamp.
"I suspect it's Lu Suowei."
Shen Jianyi directly voiced her speculation and then repeated the conversation between her and Xia Liang to Lu Jinsheng.
But why did Lu Suowei do this?
"Let me think. Where did I offend this seemingly kind - hearted elder of the Lu family?"
Shen Jianyi said with a light laugh, and the haze on her face had disappeared.
"The waters of the Lu family are deeper than you think. Since Lu Ziqian became the head of the family, this old fox, Lu Suowei, has been dissatisfied for a long time."
"So this old fox has targeted the two of us?"
Shen Jianyi found it rather ridiculous.
"Yeah, are you scared?"
Lu Jinsheng let out a soft laugh and pinched her earlobe.
The slight tingling made Shen Jianyi squirm uncomfortably.
"Scared. Of course I'm scared. Lu Suowei's methods are really remarkable."
He was actually able to get the Hummingbird from the organization. She didn't know if he had bought it through some means or for some other reason.
Shen Jianyi sneered.
If she had died, this matter would have just passed.
But she didn't.
Since God had given her this chance, she didn't mind having a good showdown with this elder of the Lu family.
After all, it was still unknown who would win.
