It was probably because of Lu Bai, the one who seemed the most harmless of the three.
Rumour was that the organization expanded quickly thanks to Lu Bai, who was a genius in weapon design.
Wen He was in no mood to joke around with Huo Chen. She slapped Huo Chen loudly on his face.
“Don’t die! If you die, we can’t even play dou dizhu [1] together!”
Wen He watched how pale he was and growled, “Huo Yunting is so ruthless!”
Huo Chen clenched his fists. Without orders from his higher-ups, he would have done the same.
Outside the manor, Huo Yunting saw that his car was still parked where he left it. His expression darkened.
Why was she still here?
Lu Zhaoyang opened the car door when she saw him walk out of the manor. Fortunately, Lu Bai had already left.
She looked him up and down and asked, “How are you?”
“Doing very well, to your disappointment I think. You should stay out these matters in future. I’m going to look for Mu Xian now. Since you feel like staying, I will let Huo Li drive you home.”
Huo Yunting walked past her and took the driver’s seat. He sped away, leaving her behind.
Lu Zhaoyang heaved a sigh of relief, thankful that nothing untoward had happened to him.
When the car was a distance away, she heard a commotion behind her and turned to see a troop of security guards rushing into the manor.
Something had happened inside.
She took out her phone and was about to call Huo Li when Huo Yunting’s car came driving back.
The door to the seat beside the driver was opened. “Get in, now!”
He had nearly forgotten that Huo Chen was inside.
If the two of them met later, he would be even madder!
Lu Zhaoyang was not aware of his train of thought when she stepped into the car.
They reached Serena Apartments at record time. Lu Zhaoyang stepped out of the car and said quietly to him, “Be careful.”
Huo Yunting said nothing but nodded in reply before he drove away.
Back at her home, Lu Zhaoyang sat down on the sofa and rested her eyes, feeling exhausted after the unexpected incident at the wedding.
The sun was soon near the horizon. Suddenly, the doorbell rang and she stirred in response.
Who could be visiting at this hour?
Still dressed in the same way she had for the wedding, she went to the door and looked through the peephole.
He had come to visit. She had no reason to leave him outside.
After a moment of hesitation, Lu Zhaoyang finally opened the door and looked at Huo Chen. “You…”
She found herself at a loss for words.
“I am doing okay.”
Huo Chen looked past her into her apartment. It was dark inside and she was still in her formal dress with makeup on her face.
What could she be occupied with for so long since she left the wedding?
“Would you like something to drink?”
Lu Zhaoyang put on a calm face and asked.
Huo Chen noticed that Huo Yunting’s things were scattered around in the apartment, but still he stepped into the apartment and switched on the lights.
“Tea.” He always loved the tea she prepared.
Lu Zhaoyang went into the kitchen and soon came out with a cup of freshly brewed and piping hot tea for Huo Chen.
“Have a drink while I remove my makeup.
When she reached the washroom, she abruptly turned back to look at him and said, “I saw Wen He at Mu Xian’s wedding today.”
Huo Chen nodded and explained, “I arrested her before that. She promised to redeem herself by working for me. I brought her to the wedding today as a hostage to capture Chen Jiu.”
