"Who are you?"
Her pupils dilated, but she didn't dare to shout. Liu Ying was well aware that in this situation, the louder she shouted, the deeper into trouble she would get.
In the moonlight, the man slightly raised his chin, still holding the dagger he had taken from Shen Jianyi.
Liu Ying was immediately stunned. She thought she had no grudges against this person, and he shouldn't come to kill her.
"I can give you whatever you want," Liu Ying's heart was pounding, but she still tried to remain calm.
Even though her voice was trembling, she would never let out a cry.
The silvery moonlight shone on the man's pure - white mask. In just a split second, she recognized who he was.
He wore a pure - white mask... Everyone knew that Gun, the number - one bounty hunter, wore such a mask. It seemed that someone had put a bounty on her head.
Liu Ying's mind was racing. It wasn't hard to guess who was behind this. She had just visited Lu Ziqian yesterday, and today she was on the bounty list.
What a ruthless Lu Ziqian.
Just as the man was closing in on her step by step, Liu Ying suddenly sat up in bed. She stared intently at the pale mask, her scalp already numb.
"What do you want to do?" she asked coldly in a trembling voice. "Kill me?"
But the next second, the man sat down on her bed.
The two of them were looking into each other's eyes at such a close distance. This was really too much psychological pressure for Liu Ying to bear.
Just then, the man suddenly spoke. His voice was cold and deep. "I'm here on someone else's behalf. But before I carry out my task, I have a question for you."
Liu Ying was stunned. She didn't know this person at all. Not only did she not want to answer any questions, but she didn't even want to agree.
"What's the question?"
But there was no way. If she refused as she wanted to in her heart, she didn't know what kind of nightmare awaited her.
Lu Jinsheng opened his mouth to speak when there was a knock on the door.
It was already this late. He couldn't figure out who was outside.
Maybe it was... Director Liu?
Hearing the sound, Liu Ying didn't respond. Instead, she waited for the person outside to speak.
A moment later.
A man's voice came from outside the door. "Madam, who are you talking to?"
Lu Jinsheng: "..."
I have to say that the Liu family's bodyguards are really competent. They can even hear the voices inside in the middle of the night.
He looked at her, and Liu Ying immediately understood what to say.
"It's nothing. Xiao Wu, you go and rest first," she said in a deliberately lazy voice. "I had a nightmare."
"Do you need me to come in and accompany you?" Obviously, before Xiao Wu was sure what was going on inside, he still wanted to come in.
She slowly looked up at the pale mask. If she called Xiao Wu in now, it was needless to say that Gun would definitely kill them both.
If she obeyed obediently, there might still be a glimmer of hope.
Thinking of this, Liu Ying immediately reacted. She coughed once. "No need. You go and rest first!"
A few seconds later.
The sound outside disappeared.
Liu Ying took a deep breath. Although she didn't know what this man wanted to ask, it wouldn't be a big problem to cooperate a little.
"What do you want to ask me?" she raised her eyes. "And what's your task?"
He seemed to ignore the second question. His voice was cold as he said, "Did anyone have any bad intentions towards Lynn Jin after she got together with Lu Ziqian?"
Hearing this, Liu Ying stood there stunned.
She didn't know how to answer this question. She and Lynn Jin had lost touch for a while, exactly during the period when she had just gotten married.
Since then, she had no idea about anything that happened to Lynn Jin.
"I don't know the answer to your question..." Liu Ying's eyes dimmed.
Maybe it touched a sore spot. She was completely listless and kept her head down.
"Although Enjin and I were very good friends, after she got married, Lu Ziqian didn't allow her to have any contact with me. She suffered a lot for secretly contacting me."
Liu Ying took a deep breath. Just thinking about those things made her heart ache as if being stabbed by a knife.
"So you mean... you didn't have any contact after she got married?"
Liu Ying nodded.
"You can put it that way. We rarely contacted each other. I even couldn't attend her funeral."
Saying this, Liu Ying couldn't hold back her emotions any longer. Tears streamed down her cheeks. She choked with sobs and her whole body was trembling.
Just when Lu Jinsheng was about to ask another question, the bedroom door was suddenly pushed open.
A very bright light flashed in, blinding his eyes. For a moment, he couldn't see clearly, but he quickly recovered.
"Who are you?!"
The person standing outside was Xiao Wu. He was holding a baton in his hand. He had always suspected that there was danger inside the room, and it seemed his guess was right.
Hearing this, Lu Jinsheng stood there without any intention of leaving. His silence made the whole room fall into complete silence.
Maybe it was because he had just touched Liu Ying's sore spot. She only felt a sharp pain in her heart. Then she looked up and asked, "Why do you want to ask me about Enjin?"
Hearing these two words, Xiao Wu stood there stunned.
Lu Jinsheng looked at the people in front of him. Then he calmly told a lie. "I'm asking for an old acquaintance."
Since he didn't get any answers, there was no need to waste any more time on these two people.
Just as he was approaching Xiao Wu.
The other person suddenly seemed to remember something and slowly said, "I once saw Lu Suowei and Lynn Jin arguing in her backyard."
He didn't know why he said this. He just felt that it was uncomfortable to keep it in his heart.
Xiao Wu was such a person. He would never keep anything in his heart for long.
Looking at his firm eyes, Lu Jinsheng could tell that this man was definitely not lying.
But... why was Lu Suowei arguing with his mother? He really couldn't understand.
"Anything else?" he asked patiently.
Xiao Wu thought for a while. "Lu Ziqian beat her up because of this. After that, I never saw them have any contact again."
"Why did you pay attention to Lynn Jin's life?" Lu Jinsheng really couldn't figure it out.
Xiao Wu sighed. "The three of us grew up together and even went to the same university. I heard that she was unhappy, so I've been secretly following her. That's how I saw it."
So that's the case. Hearing their words, Lu Jinsheng clenched his fists tightly. He really didn't expect that Lu Ziqian would do such an excessive thing.
Yes, outsiders all thought that his mother was dead, but only their family members knew the truth.
Liu Ying sighed. "Actually, this is also a kind of relief for Enjin. At least she doesn't have to ──"
Before she could finish her sentence, Xiao Wu suddenly said, "But I don't think she's dead."
