The sound of a silenced gun rang out, dry and deadly in the absolute darkness.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
A miserable scream rang out. It was Giang To Nhu's voice.
"Mom!" Luc Thien An screamed in panic.
"Tieu Dao!" An Lac Vi screamed, she stumbled, trying to crawl towards her son's voice.
But a black shadow had already passed her. WHOOSH!
It moved so fast that it was inhuman. An Lac Vi only felt a cold wind. It was Luc Bac Than.
Crack!
Several extremely powerful tactical flashlights turned on at the same time, illuminating the entire scene.
The scene before her eyes made An Lac Vi hold her breath.
Giang To Nhu was lying curled up on the floor, her right hand (the one holding the knife) was shot through, blood flowing profusely. The dagger fell a few meters away.
Several black figures in combat gear (Eagle Team) rushed in from the corners, restraining her. "Target neutralized!"
And Lu Beichen... he stood beside the chair, using a tactical dagger (not sure where he got it from) to cut off Lu Tian'an's bindings.
"Mom!"
Xiao Tao was freed, the little boy stopped crying. He was like a wounded little animal, jumping off the chair, running over, hugging An Luo Wei.
"Xiao Tao... My child... you're okay..." An Luo Wei hugged the trembling little body tightly, sobbing.
Immediately, another large, warm arm wrapped around both mother and son.
Lu Beichen.
He knelt on one knee on the floor, hugging both her and her son. He didn't say anything, just hugged tightly. An Luo Wei could hear his heart pounding... beating violently. He was also... scared?
The family of three, for the first time, hugged each other so genuinely and desperately.
But...
An Luo Wei suddenly froze in his arms. She remembered.
She raised her head. Her face was still wet with tears, only a few centimeters away from his handsome but murderous face.
"Just now..." She whispered. "In the dark... when she rushed over..."
Lu Bei Shen looked at her. His eyes still had an icy blue light, not yet gone.
"What... did you call me?"
Lu Bei Shen stiffened.
"I heard it." An Luo Wei trembled. "You didn't call me An Luo Wei. You shouted... 'Vi Wei'."
Damn it!
In his extreme panic, he called out the name from her previous life.
"You heard wrong." Lu Bei Shen immediately denied, his voice hoarse. "I shouted 'BE CAREFUL!'"
"No..." An Luowei shook her head. "It's clearly 'Weiwei'. Why...?"
"Brother Jing! Lu Beichen!"
Jiang Suru's frantic scream interrupted the conversation. She was being restrained by two special agents, her hair disheveled, her hands covered in blood, looking like a demon.
"YOU DARE SHOOT ME? You dare shoot me because of her?"
Lu Beichen slowly stood up. He gently pushed An Luowei and Xiaotao behind him.
He walked towards Jiang Suru.
The temperature in the warehouse suddenly dropped.
"Love me?" He asked, his voice as light as the wind, but even more terrifying than the roar.
Jiang Suru was stunned.
"Suo Jin."
Lu Beichen called that name.
An Luowei, who was holding Xiaotao, also heard it. Suo Jin? Why did he call Jiang Suru Suo Jin?
Jiang Su Ru's eyes widened, her pupils constricting. The madness on her face turned into... panic.
"You... You..."
He... remembers? He remembers everything?
"In the previous life, you stabbed Wei Wei." Lu Bei Chen said, as if talking about the weather. "Forcing her to jump off the Tru Tien Dai. I spared your life."
An Luo Wei stood behind him, her mind buzzing. In the previous life? Stabbed her? Tru Tien Dai? This... what is this?
"In this life," Lu Bei Chen bent down, looking straight into Jiang Su Ru's eyes, "You dare to touch my Immortal fetus."
He smiled. A smile that made all the agents in the room shiver.
"I won't kill you. Death is too easy." He said, "I will let you... 'forever' taste the despair you just tried to pin on Tinh Nguyet."
He turned to Assistant Zhang (who had just run in).
"Deal with the 'Ghost'. Put an end to all the slanderous rumors. Tomorrow morning, I want Jiang Shi... to go bankrupt."
"No... NO!" Jiang Suo Ru screamed. "BROTHER JING! YOU CAN'T DO THAT TO ME! YOU ARE THE EMPEROR, YOU CAN'T..."
"Emperor?" Lu Bei Chen sneered. "I'm just Lu Bei Chen. A husband, a father."
He waved his hand. "Take her away. Don't let her appear in this world again."
Jiang Suo Ru was dragged away, she was still screaming the names "Suo Jin" and "Bac Than Canh" in her madness.
The warehouse returned to silence, only the sound of police sirens (which Lu Bei Chen's team called to "clean up") was heard approaching.
An Luo Wei held Lu Tian En (the boy who had fainted from fear) in her arms. She was trembling. She looked at Lu Beichen's tall, cold back.
A mess in her mind.
Vi Vi. Su Jin. Past life. Tru Tien Dai. De Quan. Tien Thai.
These words... were exactly like in her dream.
"Lu Beichen..." She called out tremblingly.
He turned around. His eyes had softened, but were still full of fatigue.
"Who... are you?"
Lu Beichen looked at her for a long time, under the flashing red and blue lights of the police car.
He walked over and took Lu Tian An from her arms.
"Let's go home." He said, his voice hoarse. "I... will explain to you. Everything."
