Lu Xiangtian barely managed to regain his balance, and his face was a little ugly. “What did you do?”
“What did I do?” The corners of Lu Sizheng’s lips suddenly curved into a chilling arc. “I buried enough explosives around this warehouse and sealed all the exits. Today, all of you will die here with me, hahahaha…”
“You’re crazy.” Zhao Youlin held Mu Tingfeng and frowned at Lu Sizheng who was not far away.
“I’m crazy? Yes, that’s right, I’m crazy. From the moment I saw my parents lying in a pool of blood through the crack of the door, I was already crazy. But even if I’m crazy, even if I die today, I’m happy to have all of you die with me! I’m very happy!”
“You’re crazy,” Zhao Youlin repeated, more to herself this time. She supported Mu Tingfeng and prepared to find another way out.
The light from the explosion lit up the entire warehouse, but this light was not of the kind that they wanted.
Lu Sizheng seemed to have seen through Zhao Youlin’s plan. He chuckled and said, “Don’t waste your energy. I have sealed the exits in this warehouse. You won’t be able to get out, no matter what. Moreover, I will never let you out.”
As Lu Sizheng spoke, he pounced toward Zhao Youlin. Lu Xiangtian and Mu Tingfeng were both shocked. Lu Xiangtian subconsciously took a few steps forward. Unexpectedly, he just happened to enter the shooting range of the last sniper hidden in the dark.
“Sir, be careful!” A familiar sound was heard. Along with the exclamations of the people behind him, blood spurted out. However, it wasn’t from Lu Xiangtian’s body.
“Kun Shan!” Lu Xiangtian widened his eyes and looked at the old butler who had jumped in front to take the bullet. The old butler growled and raised his hand to shoot at the sniper.
A muffled groan sounded, and the last sniper fell to the ground.
However, it was too late. When Lu Xiangtian turned around to look again, the old butler had already closed his eyes forever.
Lu Sizheng pointed his gun at Zhao Youlin’s waist. He snorted disdainfully when he saw this scene. “You’re really lucky, but it’s useless no matter how lucky you are today.”
Lu Xiangtian had dodged a disaster in that instant just now, but Lu Sizheng was not idle either. He quickly pounced on Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng’s side. Mu Tingfeng wanted to stop him, but he had aimed at his thigh and fired another shot.
No matter how powerful Mu Tingfeng was, with one shoulder and one leg injured, he was unable to do much. He was easily stopped by Lu Sizheng.
Zhao Youlin, on the other hand, was flustered because of her concern. She originally had a chance to escape from Lu Sizheng’s hands, but when she saw Mu Tingfeng injured, her expression changed. She was distracted during the fight with Lu Sizheng. This gave Lu Sizheng a chance to take advantage of her, and he held his gun to her waist.
As soon as Lu Sizheng stopped Zhao Youlin, he immediately turned to look at Lu Xiangtian. As expected, when Lu Xiangtian saw that Zhao Youlin had fallen into Lu Sizheng’s hands, his expression changed again, and he looked at Lu Sizheng with an unprecedented coldness.
“If there’s anything, just come at me. I was indeed the one who did what your parents did back then. You have a head for your wrongs and a debtor for your debts. If you want to kill or cut her up, just come at me. She doesn’t know anything and is innocent. Don’t hurt her. I’m at your disposal.”
When Zhao Youlin heard Lu Xiangtian’s words, her entire body trembled slightly. This man who could summon the wind and rain outside with a single hand would actually do this for her…
Lu Sizheng glanced at Lu Xiangtian, and the smile on his lips became deeper. However, he did not reply Lu Xiangtian immediately. Instead, he moved closer to Zhao Youlin’s ear, he said meaningfully, “You must be curious. How did I know that you reincarnated in another person’s body?”
Zhao Youlin was stunned. Her face darkened slightly as she stared into Lu Sizheng’s eyes, as if hoping that he could give her an explanation.
Lu Sizheng seemed to think that Zhao Youlin had fallen into his hands, and it would be impossible for her to escape. He might as well let her die with some clarity… he smiled and said, “Do you still remember the two everlasting lamps that I took you to see that time? It was quite strange. One of the lamps was indeed extinguished after your death, but not long after, the extinguished lamp actually lit up again.”
Zhao Youlin was stunned. She finally understood what Lu Sizheng meant by the two memorial tablets and the two lamps that were enshrined in the room in the temple.
Those two memorial tablets were because his parents were traitors and not so-called meritorious officials, so they could only be worshipped in secret.
As for the two lamps, he had said that they represented Lu Xiangtian and Lu Xiangtian’s daughters. She had assumed that Lu Xiangtian’s daughter was referring to Lu Shu, but she had not expected that the one lamp was her!
She was satisfied to see the surprise on Zhao Youlin’s face. The expression on Lu Sizheng’s face became a little malevolent. “The Abbot told me that there are only two possibilities for the lamp to be extinguished and reignited. One is to be resurrected from the dead and not die, and the other is to reincarnate from the dead and come back to life. At first, I didn’t believe it either. It seemed extremely preposterous, until I saw you.”
Lu Sizheng deliberately paused at this point. His gaze moved back and forth between Zhao Youlin and Lu Xiangtian. “You, the eldest lady of the Zhao family, have attracted Lu Xiangtian’s attention. Lu Xiangtian’s inexplicable good impression of you makes me very curious, and the fact that you have the same name as that woman bothered me greatly. So after that, I asked people to gather information about you. In the end, I found that on the day that Officer Youlin died… this Zhao Youlin had committed suicide once. Moreover, after you were rescued, you seemed to have changed into a different person. You were no longer as cowardly, sensitive, and weak as before, and you revolved around Mu Tingfeng. Instead, you became independent, decisive, and calm. Everyone thought that the near-death experience opened your eyes up to life, but I knew that you have died once and become another person.”
Zhao Youlin pursed her lips and did not say anything. She only felt that there were some things in this world could not be explained by common logic.
After Lu Sizheng said this, his eyes flickered, and he turned to look at Lu Xiangtian, the smile on his face was filled with malice. “Didn’t you just say that as long as I don’t hurt her, you’ll be at my disposal? If that’s the case, you can use your life in exchange for hers.”
Lu Xiangtian and Zhao Youlin’s expressions changed as soon as Lu Sizheng said this.
Lu Sizheng saw the strange behavior of the two of them and narrowed his eyes. He gloated and said, “What? You Don’t want to? This is the precious daughter that the heavens sent back to you after so much trouble. If she dies this time, I don’t know if she’ll be able to come back to life like last time. Do you dare to take this risk?”
