1142: A Scar on His Chest

A Scar on His Chest

Lu Yeming touched the gunshot on his chest, the warm blood spilling out onto his fingertips.2

Lifting his eyes to look at the lithe figure that quickly got further and further away from him, his expression was grim.

"Ah, I'm really scared. West Duke is there, hurry up and catch him!"

Jun Xiqing ran over, mixing into the royal guards. Her voice was frail and pitiful, like a frightened young maiden.

The entire time, she hadn't turned back, lifting her hand to take off the cloak and she pulled her hair up into an updo. With just a wave of an arm, she quickly disguised her face and changed her appearance. It took her a mere 30 seconds to disguise herself amongst the royal guards.

Lei Ze rushed over with his men. "Where is the West Duke? We must not let this dangerous character escape!"

Though Lei Ze and Jun Xiqing crossed paths, he hadn't noticed her at all in the thrum of people.

Charging forward, Lei Ze wanted to capture Lu Yeming, but the well-trained West Forces appeared all of a sudden. Fan Men threw another grenade and by the time the smoke dissipated, Lu Yeming had already disappeared.

…

After getting out of the President's residence, Jun Xiqing got in the back seat of a plain-looking minivan parked outside.

"Third Miss, are you alright?" Wu Qin looked at Jun Xiqing.

Jun Xiqing shook her head and waved a dismissive hand out. "I'm fine. Let's leave Country Z via the waters to meet up with my sisters."

"Understood," Wu Qin nodded and asked, "Third Miss, how is West Duke?"

Jun Xiqing looked outside of the window at the bustling city outside. "He suffered a gunshot but he's not going to die."

Lei Ze wasn't capable enough to hold him captive.

Lu Yeming was like a ferocious tiger. Once he fell for her trap just once, he would pounce onto her and take revenge soon. Very soon.

He was a man who stood above everyone, controlling everyone's fates. But today, she had fooled him and she had no idea when he was going to fly into a rage and take revenge.

Uncle Jun's Country Z no longer had a place for the Jun family. She had to leave as soon as possible.

But one day, she would be back.

"Third Miss, what happened between West Duke and you that day in the limousine?" Wu Qin asked curiously.

That day in the limousine…

Jun Xiqing lowered her head, her face a little warm and red. Though she was sharp-witted, she still wasn't experienced in relationship matters.

That day in the limousine, he teased her and she revealed the most beautiful charms a woman could ever show.

Uncle, I'm sorry. I couldn't keep my feelings to myself, I've fallen for West Duke.

He's the first guy I've fallen for.

But it's all in the past now…

…

In the villa.

The doctor took his leave and Fan Men stepped inside. The room was filled with the pungent scent of antiseptic. Lu Yeming sat on the bed, one knee bent and he placed his wrist over it casually. As his eyes were lowered, no one could tell what was on his mind. It was as if he was in a world of his own in that cold atmosphere.

"Your Highness, Third Miss Jun has left Country Z. She had already figured everything out but just hadn't done anything yet. She had her Wuling Iron Steed Troop pose as our West Forces to sow discord, using herself as a bait to have you step into her trap at the Willow River. Her entire plan was virtually perfect."

Lu Yeming was completely expressionless. He just lowered his eyes to look at the wound on his chest. The bullet had just been taken out from his body, it almost shot through his heart.

All that she had left him with was a permanent scar on his chest.
