Taking advantage of Luo Yu's distraction, Jiang Qi snatched away the gun pressed against him and fired a shot at the door lock, kicking open the door.

　　Blood continued to flow from his arm, and his face turned pale.

　　Su Jiawen also put away the gun, holstered it, and grabbed Luo Yu's hand, letting him embrace him and asking, "Are you able to keep going?"

　　"Luoyi looked at Su Jiawen without saying a word.

　　Su Jiawen avoided his gaze and dragged him forward.

　　Luoyi didn't resist.

　　Outside the door happened to be a parking lot.

　　Jiang Qi walked ahead and found an old-fashioned off-road vehicle, waved towards Su Jiawen, and pointed to the car with his good left hand.

　　Su Jiawen dragged Luoyi over and had Jiang Qi support him.

　　Then, he shot the car window with a gun.

　　The glass shattered, and he reached in, opened the car door, and took off the seat cushion before climbing into the back seat to open the door.

　　Jiang Qi urged, "Hurry up, He Yonggui's hired mercenaries will be here soon." Su Jiawen opened the rear door of the car, and Jiang Qi pushed Luoyi in first.

　　Luoyi's leg injury was severe, with excessive bleeding and cold sweat on his forehead.

　　However, Jiang Qi didn't fare well either; his right arm was also shot and hurt badly.

　　Su Jiawen just pulled out the firing pin when the pursuers rushed out of the escape passage.

　　Su Jiawen, with sharp eyes, whispered, "Get down!" The car Jiang Qi had chosen was in the middle of the parking lot and not immediately visible.

　　The three mercenaries also seemed cautious of it, forming a small triangle and slowly approaching with their guns.

　　Su Jiawen crouched on the steering wheel and silently opened the car door.

　　He was small in stature and carefully pushed the door open a bit, slid down, and gently closed the door again.

　　Luoyi remained calm and looked down at his own leg.

　　When he looked up, Su Jiawen was gone.

　　He immediately looked at Jiang Qi.

　　Jiang Qi understood what he wanted to ask and said, "Don't worry about him." Just at that moment, gunshots rang out, but they were from the other end of the parking lot.

　　It seemed that the mercenaries had discovered a figure and quickly moved towards that direction.

　　"He...," Luoyi was still worried, furrowing his brow tightly.

　　If his leg could lift, he would have gotten out of the car already.

　　"There are only eighteen bullets," Jiang Qi knew that saying anything was useless, so he shrugged.

　　The gunshots abruptly stopped.

　　Although there was a breeze inside the car, it was far away, and they could only faintly hear the sounds of a fight.

　　Luoyi's heartbeat was fast, and even with his ears perked up, he only caught the sounds of bones fracturing and a few angry roars, but there was no sign of Su Jiawen's voice.

　　After a few more minutes, Su Jiawen returned.

　　There were bloodstains and dirt on his light-colored coat, and he carried three submachine guns on his shoulders.

　　He got into the car without saying a word and threw the guns onto the passenger seat with a loud bang before closing the car door and continuing to focus on connecting the wires.

　　Luoyi could only see the faint redness on his originally fair knuckles.

　　"How many more people?" Su Jiawen suddenly spoke.

　　Jiang Qi reacted and said, "Four." The car lightly shook and started.

　　Su Jiawen turned his head and glanced at the two in the backseat.

　　"Seat belts." "What a nuisance," Jiang Qi cursed while buckling himself up.

　　Luoyi was still looking at Su Jiawen when Su Jiawen asked him, "Should I buckle you up in the back?" Jiang Qi was annoyed by them and quickly took the seat belt and fastened it for Luoyi.

　　"I'll do it, is that okay?" Su Jiawen pressed the accelerator and the car sped away.

　　The car was the most common off-road vehicle on the island, with a manual transmission.

　　Su Jiawen was skilled in shifting gears and accelerated to over a hundred yards, driving fast and steadily on the mountain road from the airport to the city.

　　The pursuers quickly caught up, with a six-cylinder motorcycle leading the way.

　　It had a low center of gravity and high speed, and the rider chased after them by pressing down on their body.

　　"Can you use your left hand?"

　　"Sujia Wen threw three guns behind him and said, 'Take them.' Jiang Qi looked at the Glock 17 among them and knew it was given to him by Luo Yu.

　　His boss only kept a submachine gun.

　　Luo Yu's face looked even uglier, and Jiang Qi was afraid he might suddenly burst out.

　　But it was his boss who assigned him the task, so Jiang Qi could only grit his teeth and say, 'OK.' He observed the rider through the rearview mirror and planned to shoot when the rider got closer.

　　Sujia Wen looked at the rearview mirror with a serious expression and instructed Jiang Qi, 'Wait for my signal.' Before Jiang Qi could react, the rider shot at the car's rear window, hitting it.

　　Jiang Qi and Luo Yu lost their cover and bent over the backrest to avoid the bullets.

　　Sujia Wen assessed the optimal distance and said, 'Shoot the oil tank!' Jiang Qi tried to stand up and shoot, but with only his left hand and the bumpy mountain road, he couldn't aim properly.

　　He watched as the rider got closer and closer.

　　After aiming for a while, Luo Yu impatiently grabbed the gun from him and quickly shot three times.

　　One bullet hit the flag bearer's body, one hit the front wheel, and one hit the oil tank.

　　The motorcycle exploded instantly, emitting thick smoke and fierce flames that seemed to reach the sky.

　　The explosion shattered the rocks and debris from the mountain, falling down in heaps.

　　The armored vehicle behind was blocked by the pile of explosives and couldn't move.

　　Sujia Wen continued to accelerate, temporarily leaving the pursuers behind.

　　Jiang Qi glanced at Sujia Wen and then at Luo Yu, who looked like a powder keg.

　　While observing the rear, Jiang Qi brought up a topic, "He Laoshuxi spent a lot of money, huh?" "Wasn't He Yonggui's plan to take action in Switzerland with the mercenaries he hired?" Luo Yu knew about He Yonggui's little scheme, but he didn't expect him to take such a risk in the peaceful Shichi City of U Country.

　　"After you guys arrived in Ping City, he recruited a group of mercenaries from the black market.

　　I didn't pay much attention to it at first, but later when I saw U Country became cautious, I had someone investigate and found out it was him who hired them.

　　Unexpectedly, Xing Licheng was also investigating and discovered something was wrong.

　　But he hasn't been able to contact you since last night." As soon as Luo Yu heard this, he knew someone tampered with his phone.

　　He was about to take it out when Sujia Wen in front said, "I threw your phone away when I helped you up." Jiang Qi smirked.

　　"Where is Xing Licheng now?" Luo Yu asked Jiang Qi.

　　Jiang Qi said, "We agreed upon an emergency safe house in the downtown area.

　　Two helicopters should be able to arrive before midnight." "Two?" Luo Yu tugged at the corner of his mouth and asked, "Mine...

　　and Zhen Ting's?" Jiang Qi looked at Sujia Wen and nodded.

　　Luo Yu nodded as well, finally looking straight at the person driving in front of him.

　　He could see Sujia Wen's eyes through the rearview mirror, so calm and focused, just like his appearance whenever he immersed himself in a book, as if nothing had changed.

　　Luo Yu took a deep breath and uttered two words that he couldn't believe himself, "Ruan Zheng?" The car smoothly navigated a sharp turn, and the centrifugal force made Luo Yu feel nauseous.

　　His leg injury was throbbing numbly, but his heart felt like it was being tormented by a blunt knife, causing him to struggle to catch his breath.

　　After a while, he finally heard his precious one in his hand make a sound, "Hmm." Ruan Zheng said, 'It's me.'"

　　"From the moment we got off the car, apart from the sound of wind blowing in through the broken windows, accompanied by hot air and the sound of it hitting the passengers' eardrums, there was no other sound inside the car.

　　Finally, we arrived at the downtown area, and the three of us abandoned the car and got on a three-wheeler, which was the most commonly used mode of transportation on the island.

　　Jiang Qi quickly bandaged his arm with the clothes in the car, and he also put the gun in the handbag he found in the trunk.

　　The downtown area was crowded, so the driver didn't notice anything different about the three of us compared to others.

　　Jiang Qi gave the address of the safe house, and the three-wheeler took them through the alleys for a long time before arriving at the building where the safe house was located.

　　It was an ordinary rental building with both eastern and western wings.

　　The floors were not high, and the people were messy.

　　Jiang Qi took them into a simple elevator and went up to the top floor.

　　The top floor was an unpainted room that was empty, with no tenants, but it was not clean, and there was dust on the floor.

　　Ruan Zheng frowned as he looked at it, took off his coat and laid it on the floor, then grabbed Luo Yu's hand and pulled him over to sit down.

　　He looked up at him and said, 'You sit here, I'll go buy some medicine.' 'Azheng, take the gun,' Jiang Qi threw the gun to him, afraid that he would encounter pursuers.

　　Ruan Zheng squatted down and handed it to Luo Yu, saying, 'Mr.

　　Luo, you hold onto it.' Luo Yu took it and weighed it in his hand, then looked at Ruan Zheng and asked, 'Aren't you afraid that I'll shoot you right now?' Ruan Zheng didn't answer, but instead knelt beside him and looked at his leg.

　　He quickly assessed the extent of the damage to Luo Yu's pants and judged, 'The leg injury needs to be treated immediately.' 'What about my gunshot wound?' Jiang Qi interrupted.

　　'A penetrating wound?' Ruan Zheng turned to look at him.

　　Jiang Qi nodded, and Ruan Zheng said, 'I'll buy some bandages for you.' Jiang Qi rolled his eyes unreservedly.

　　Ruan Zheng continued to look at Luo Yu, and Luo Yu met his gaze.

　　In Luo Yu's eyes, there was nothing but scrutiny.

　　Ruan Zheng didn't like Luo Yu's cold gaze, so he covered his eyes, kissed Luo Yu lightly, and whispered, 'I'll be right back.' Ruan Zheng left, and the room fell silent again.

　　Jiang Qi sat on the window sill of the balcony, keeping a safe distance from Luo Yu.

　　After a while, Jiang Qi spoke up, 'Is there something you want to ask? You can ask me.

　　Azheng might not say it.' Luo Yu replayed the scene of the first time he had dinner with Jiang Qi in his mind and lowered his voice to ask, 'Why?' 'He has liked you for a long time,' Jiang Qi looked at the door before saying, 'I don't know how he met you, but he really likes you.

　　Azheng lacks love, his family is unhappy, and he is just himself in front of you, gentle and harmless, speaking softly.

　　But he usually kills people, just not in front of you.' 'When I was seventeen, I was working for He Yonggui and got injured in a fight.

　　I passed out in a small alley, and Azheng picked me up.

　　He is the only son in the family—his dad is a Chinese-descendant gang boss from Laos who had many mistresses and only had daughters, except for him.

　　Then there was an explosion that injured his dad there, and he couldn't have children anymore, so Azheng became the real solitary seedling.

　　His dad didn't like his appearance, said he was too gentle and couldn't hold his ground, and he was very strict with him.

　　Azheng started walking the thin line of life and death with a group of veteran rogues when he was only in his teens.

　　Then when he got a bit older, his dad had an accident, and he came to Ping City."

　　"Jiang Qi may have wanted to portray Ruan as pitiful.

　　He talked a lot without interruptions from Luo Yu, so he continued speaking, "Three years ago, Ah Zheng once made an appointment with you and waited for you on Jian Island all night, but you didn't show up.

　　Later, he confronted you because he wanted to get your attention." Jiang Qi fearlessly smiled as he said, "Su Jiawen is a student who looks a lot like him.

　　His mother owed a large gambling debt, and his records are real.

　　One time, he saw Su Jiawen in Pingda and felt that they looked alike.

　　After investigation, he arranged a meeting with Su Jiawen.

　　He didn't tell me what they talked about, but a few days later, someone took Su Jiawen to have plastic surgery several times.

　　He ended up looking almost identical to Ah Zheng.

　　Sometimes, the person studying in Pingda is Su Jiawen, and sometimes it's Ah Zheng.

　　Back then, I didn't know what he was planning, and when I asked him, he wouldn't say." "After some time, Ah Zheng somehow discovered the location you went to.

　　He used Su Jiawen's identity and infiltrated the Baichao.

　　Based on his character, I guess he was prepared to drug you, but he didn't expect you to offer to protect him first." Luo Yu looked at Jiang Qi, speechless.

　　"He told me that he originally wanted to sleep with you a few times, but after sleeping together a few times, he wanted you to like him too," Jiang Qi paused, "What he did to you was very unfair.

　　You see it too, he is that kind of person, unscrupulous and extremely cunning.

　　I don't have a position to defend him.

　　But if you don't dwell on these things..." Jiang Qi sighed, "It's up to you to decide." Luo Yu remained silent for a long time.

　　He reasoned with himself about what he should do in this situation and came to the conclusion that he should at least kill Ruan Zheng.

　　However, he had no clue how to proceed.

　　He remained silent all along because he discovered that he couldn't bring himself to say anything harsh to Ruan Zheng.

　　Ruan Zheng brought a big bag of medicine and food up.

　　Seeing Luo Yu and Jiang Qi peacefully together, he smiled at Luo Yu and took out a bottle of water, unscrewing the lid for him and placing it next to him.

　　"Mr.

　　Luo, I bought the mineral water you like to drink.

　　"I'll take care of Ah Qi first." He took out scissors, bandages, and medicine, cutting open Jiang Qi's sleeve.

　　Jiang Qi's wound had almost stopped bleeding, and Ruan Zheng used a disinfectant cotton swab to clean the bloodstains and applied medicine to it.

　　Luo Yu took a sip of the water, but he had rushed, causing water to flow down his chin.

　　He stared at Ruan Zheng.

　　Ruan Zheng's back moved as he carefully bandaged Jiang Qi's arm.

　　His movements were skillful, and Jiang Qi had a lot of trust in him.

　　Luo Yu sat by the side, sitting on the jacket he bought for Ruan Zheng, feeling like an outsider.

　　Ruan Zheng picked up scissors and cut the bandage, then said to Jiang Qi, "Ah Qi, wait outside." Jiang Qi walked to the paper bag that Ruan Zheng had brought back, squatted down, picked up a lunchbox, and went outside the door.

　　As she passed by Ruan Zheng, she muttered to herself that she was like a construction worker, but Ruan Zheng pretended not to hear.

　　He closed the door and walked to Luo Yu with scissors, half-kneeling in front of him, carefully cutting the fabric of his trousers that was stuck with blood.

　　Suddenly, he felt something cold on his forehead.

　　It was the gun he gave to Luo Yu.

　　Luo Yu looked at him blankly, but Ruan Zheng smiled at him, disregarding the gun pointed at him, and instead leaned forward to kiss him."

　　Luo Yu just scared him, didn't exert any strength, but Ruan Zheng forcefully pushed him away.

　　His teeth hit each other, and Ruan Zheng held Luo Yu's shoulder with one hand and put the other on his leg.

　　Luo Yu tasted some smoke in Ruan Zheng's mouth.

　　It turned out that Ruan Zheng smoked.

　　Losing blood, Luo Yu felt dizzy, then his calf suddenly hurt, causing him to wake up abruptly.

　　Ruan Zheng backed away from him a bit and tore off the fabric that was stuck to their flesh.

　　He carefully wiped Luo Yu's calf, disinfected the tweezers with a lighter, and pulled out the fragments embedded in the flesh.

　　Ruan Zheng lowered his head, and Luo Yu's vision was blurry, making it difficult to see his expression clearly, but he could see that Ruan Zheng's lips were tightly pursed.

　　If they successfully boarded the plane back to Ping City today, and Ruan Zheng had this expression, Luo Yu would definitely take him to do everything he wanted to do.

　　He would bring stars and the moon right before him, as long as Ruan Zheng wouldn't be unhappy anymore.

　　After dealing with Luo Yu's wound, Ruan Zheng went to get some medicine and handed them to Luo Yu, saying, "Antibiotics." Luo Yu put down the gun and swallowed a few pills, looking at Ruan Zheng and asking, "Don't you have anything to say?" Ruan Zheng glanced back at him and replied, "What does Mr.

　　Luo want me to say?" Luo Yu didn't say anything, so Ruan Zheng continued, "I didn't expect it to happen so soon, but it's for the best." "Best?" Luo Yu sarcastically tugged at the corner of his mouth and asked.

　　Ruan Zheng touched Luo Yu's forehead, avoiding the topic that could lead to an argument, and said, "We still have to deal with things when we get back.

　　You have a fever." Luo Yu, being a pampered young master, had never experienced such a serious injury before.

　　It was inevitable for him to develop an infection and fever.

　　Ruan Zheng found some bread to feed Luo Yu, who didn't refuse.

　　Jiang Qi finished her boxed lunch outside, opened the door and glanced inside, afraid that Ruan Zheng might accidentally be strangled by Luo Yu, she decided to go back to her room to relieve the awkward atmosphere.

　　The island city at twelve o'clock was still hot and restless.

　　Two helicopters arrived at the safe house as scheduled, and they landed on the rooftops of the two buildings in the rental complex.

　　Ruan Zheng half-carried Luo Yu up the stairs, while Xing Li Cheng stood nearby waiting for Luo Yu.

　　As soon as he saw Luo Yu, he immediately walked over, wanting to take Luo Yu from Ruan Zheng's hands.

　　However, Luo Yu pushed him away and said, "I can walk." Then he turned his head and looked deeply at Ruan Zheng.

　　Surprised that Luo Yu still wanted to look at him, Ruan Zheng held out his hand tentatively and asked, "Can I give you a hug?" Luo Yu immediately showed a fierce expression, but Ruan Zheng took advantage of his unpreparedness and hugged him lightly.

　　It was still the warmth and strength belonging to the Su family's Wen, and Ruan Zheng even kissed Luo Yu's chin and said, "See you in Ping City." In the dim light, Ruan Zheng's expression was gentle and innocent, and Luo Yu couldn't help but be led by this person.

　　He couldn't distinguish whether the affection Ruan Zheng gave him was real or an illusion--this was something he had to ask Ruan Zheng, but Luo Yu didn't want to ask.

　　Ruan Zheng took two steps back, turned around, walked towards the passage in the middle of the rooftop, towards his helicopter, towards Jiang Qi.

　　He exposed his back to Luo Yu completely, as if he knew that Luo Yu wouldn't do anything.

　　Luo Yu calmly watched Su Jia Wen's helicopter leave the ground, rising vertically, and then took step by step towards the open cabin door that was prepared for him.
