Luo Ying looked crestfallen. Jin Shi realized he had been a bit too harsh with his words. After all, he had never been so stern with Luo Ying before.
He gently patted her shoulder and said, “Alright, don’t be upset with me. Your Second Brother and I have something important to tell you.”
“What is it?” Luo Ying asked while raising her head.
Second Brother stood up and walked over. “l found a copy of this book that details the plot after we were transported into it. There has been no deviation. Moreover, the book also mentions that in three days, those of us who were brought from the original world can return.”
Luo Yings eyes widened. Was she really going back to her original world?
“Why? What are you standing there for? Aren’t you happy about reuniting with Mom and Dad?” Third Brother grinned.
Of course she was happy. She had dreamed of seeing her parents.
But if she left, what would happen to Lu Zhao?
She only had another three days here.
Suddenly, she felt as if someone seized her throat. At this moment, she was consumed by an intense desire to see Lu Zhao.
She had to see him, no matter what.
She couldn’t just go back to her original world without addressing her feelings.
“Jin Shi, I want to step out for some fresh air,” Luo Ying said.
Jin Shi began to feel remorse when he saw her troubled expression. Had they revealed this news too suddenly?
“Go ahead. Be sure to stay safe,” Jin Shi advised.
Luo Ying nodded and walked out of the room.
As soon as she left, she booked a flight back. She was determined to see Lu Zhao as soon as possible.
There was still over an hour before her flight’s departure.
While waiting at the airport, a familiar figure passed through the crowd.
Luo Yings mouth hung open in shock. She wanted to shout, but no sound came out.
Zhang Ruo!
She was sure of it.
“Zhang Ruo!” she called out.
This time, the woman turned. Their eyes met.
Zhang Ruffs expression was complex as she regarded Luo Ying.
Luo Ying excitedly ran over and grabbed Zhang Ruffs hand; her mind was a whirlwind of thoughts with no clear starting point.
“l work here. Would you like to come to my place?” Zhang Ruo asked.
Luo Ying realized there was still over an hour before her flight. She eagerly nodded.
Since Zhang Ruo left, she had been feeling guilty and missed her.
Guiding Luo Ying, Zhang Ruo led her to increasingly remote surroundings.
Luo Ying felt a touch of hesitation. Why was Zhang Ruo bringing her to such an isolated place?
Suddenly, the back of her head was struck hard.
Luo Yings vision darkened, and she lost consciousness.
In a dim basement, Lin Ping squinted as he sized up the woman before him.
The woman was unconscious. Her face was pale, and her hair was slightly disheveled.
Yet even in this state, her beauty remained undeniable.
Lin Ping pursed his lips.
Luo Ying, Luo Ying, no matter the situation, you always manage to make my heart flutter.
Zhang Ruo walked over. She noticed how Lin Ping looked at Luo Ying. She felt a hint of displeasure.
She knew Lin Ping had always liked Luo Ying.
But at least for the past six months, he had made Zhang Ruo his wife.
When she saw Luo Ying bound to the chair and looking disheveled, Zhang
Ruffs heart ached.
They used to be the best of friends.
“Are you getting cold feet?” Lin Ping noticed the shift in Zhang Ruffs demeanor and asked.
Zhang Ruo snapped out of her thoughts and responded, “No, it’s just that you want to use Luo Ying to threaten Lu Zhao into investing in DCorporeal. Do you really think Lu Zhao will agree?”
Lin Ping suddenly felt a surge of anger when he heard that name.
Last time, he was caught by Lu Zhao’s men and beaten half to death.
If it weren’t for the timely intervention of DCorporeal’s people, he might have died at Lu Zhao’s hands.
Lin Ping frowned and said, “l do intend to use Luo Ying to coerce Lu Zhao, but I don’t want him to invest in D’Corporeal.”
“What’s your plan then?” Zhang Ruo asked, puzzled.
“l want Lu Zhao dead!” Lin Pings eyes gleamed with ruthlessness.
Zhang Ruo gasped.
Though this man usually treated her tenderly, she had witnessed his cruelty and unscrupulous methods firsthand.
“Didn’t you say you wanted Lu Zhao to invest in DCorporeal?” Zhang Ruo swallowed hard.
DCorporeal was now facing a severe economic crisis due to internal and external pressure.
Lin Ping lowered his head and smiled. “My dear wife, if 1 kill Lu Zhao, won’t Luya Group be mine?”
When she saw the intense glint in Lin Pings eyes, Zhang Ruo suddenly felt regret..
