Lin Xuanji stopped in her tracks and looked back. There was a gun in Lu Jinwen’s hand and the muzzle was pressed against Old Master Lin’s forehead.
Lin Xuanji’s eyes narrowed and even her voice had instantly become cold. “Lu Jinwen, you are insane!”
Lu Jinwen stood by Old Master Lin’s side and held the gun with one hand. He gazed deeply and intensely at Lin Xuanji with bloodshot eyes. “Xuanji, don’t go, if not I will blow this old man’s brains out!”
The cold muzzle was pressed against Old Master Lin’s head and he was so scared his entire body was trembling. “Lu Jinwen, have you forgotten? If you dare to kill me, your son will be dead!”
“Lu Jinwen!” Lin Xuanji shrieked.
Lu Jinwen gradually curved his thin lips. “Xuanji, I can’t let you go because I know that if you go, you will never return. Haven’t I said this before? I only care about our son because you gave birth to him. If you leave me, why would I still want him?”
Everyone gasped. What was this man talking about?
How could he not care about his son’s life!
But it was clear he was not joking. If Lin Xuanji dared to leave, he would personally kill this old man.
Lin Xuanji looked at Lu Jinwen. He was still standing under the dazzling lights and the many years of being on the battlefield had made his shoulders look broader. He had never changed and he was still the domineering and overbearing Emperor.
He had once again demonstrated to everyone that he could be so ruthless and heartless that he did not care about his son’s life at all.
But he had also let everyone witness that he was a sentimental man who could go crazy over love. In this world, he did not care about anything else besides Lin Xuanji.
Lin Xuanji’s expression changed. “Lu Jinwen, I’ve said it before. Don’t fall in love with me. You’ve fallen so deep now and in the future, I will inflict tremendous pain on you.”
“Alright.” Lu Jinwen nodded his head lightly and curved his lips. “Come to me now. I will accept whatever pain you are going to inflict on me in the future.”
Not long after, when Lu Jinwen really did experience that excruciating pain, his whole mind was filled with one thought, that he should have let her go had he known he would suffer so much eventually.
Perhaps he could live a better life after she left.
Lin Xuanji stood by the door and said after a long while, “I’m not coming over.”
She had just spoken these words when there was a deafening bang sound as the gun was fired.
Lu Jinwen had fired the gun.
The bullet immediately pierced through Old Master Lin’s right leg.
“Argh!” Old Master Lin cried out and collapsed onto the carpet. He stretched his hand out to press on his bleeding wound.
F*ck! It was so painful, the man was insane!
Jun Mosheng stood by Lin Xuanji’s side and looked at Lu Jinwen. This man was quick, precise and vicious in firing the gun, and he did not show the slightest bit of hesitation.
Old Master Lin’s face was harshly white and he immediately cursed. “Lu Jinwen, you lunatic. You can even give up on your own son. A person like you will not have a good end and you will definitely end up in hell.”
Lu Jinwen’s handsome and chiseled face was devoid of any emotion. He had not touched a gun for a long time and his thumb was numb from the impact of the shot. He twirled the gun around his fingers nonchalantly and pressed it against Old Master Lin’s head again forcefully. He gave a low laugh. “I, Lu Jinwen, have never feared anything in my life. I don’t believe in retribution. I don’t know if I will go to hell after I die, but I can personally send you there now!”
The man had said those last few words in a sinister manner which only made one tremble in fear.
“You!” Old Master Lin started shivering. It was as if he was seeing Lu Jinwen in a new light. This man was simply too cruel and vicious.
“No, don’t kill me…”
Lu Jinwen looked at Old Master Lin. “Don’t kill you? You set a trap in Bangkok Number 1 that year, and you must have also tampered with my DNA paternity test. Just based on these two things alone, I can take your life!’
“Xuanji.” Old Master Lin knew that this man would not listen to reason and thus he placed his hope on Lin Xuanji. “Stop Lu Jinwen now. He doesn’t want his son’s life. Is it the same for you?”
Lin Xuanji looked at Lu Jinwen quietly.
Lu Jinwen gradually extended his large palm. “Xuanji, come over here. As long as you come over, I will definitely take this old man’s life and save our son. Leave everything to me. You just have to stay by my side and everything will be alright. We will be fine. Believe me.”
Yes, it was still not too late. They still had lots of time ahead of them and everything would be fine.
He would slowly heal her pain.
Time would heal all pain.
But Lin Xuanji did not move. She looked at the man’s eyes and suddenly she smiled. “Lu Jinwen, I believe in you. This is my first time believing in you. Even if I leave, you will not do anything to my Dad because you can’t bear for Chenyi to die. You won’t disappoint me, right?”
Lu Jinwen’s palm froze in mid air. His gaze was instantly filled with complicated emotions.
At this moment, Lin Xuanji turned away to leave.
Lu Jinwen raised the gun and fired a shot at Old Master Lin’s left leg.
Bang! Old Master Lin let out a pitiful yelp again.
Lu Jinwen had played with guns since he was young and his shooting skills were very accurate. He knew which were the critical areas to hit. Old Master’s leg had become maimed from the shot.
Both of Old Master Lin’s legs were crippled. Even if he could survive, he would never be able to stand again.
Lin Xuanji froze in her footsteps, but she did not turn back.
At this point, she heard the man’s vicious voice. “Xuanji, don’t force me. If you leave me today, there’s nothing I won’t do!” The veins in Lu Jinwen’s forehead throbbed uncontrollably again and he stared intensely at her.
He wanted her to stay.
His entire mind was filled with thoughts on how to make her stay.
He had not wanted to force her, but now she was forcing him to his breaking point!
They had come to this point today. She had not gone to bed with Jun Mosheng. No matter how much she resented and hated him that year, she still did not sleep with Jun Mosheng. She had even given birth to his son. How could he possibly let her go now?
He looked at her pretty, delicate figure. She had always been an intelligent woman. Now that she wanted to fly, he was unable to hold her back.
He was scared.
He was starting to become afraid
He was afraid that once she left, she would never return in his lifetime.
Lin Xuanji froze for a few seconds before proceeding to walk out.
Lu Jinwen’s bloodshot eyes narrowed. She still wanted to leave.
In the end, she still wanted to leave!
Lu Jinwen curved his thin lips. He raised his head and gazed at the dazzling crystal chandelier above him until the light made his vision blurry.
“Xuanji, I still can’t make you stay, can I? If I use my life to make you stay, will you return to me?”
The crowd gasped as they saw Lu Jinwen slowly raise the gun and press the muzzle against his forehead…
