Lu Zhi looked at her face which was turned away and there was still dried blood on it. He didn't know whether it was his own blood or someone else's.
His eyes were slightly cold, but he didn't say anything hurtful. He just said, "We suffered heavy losses this time, and we were unable to get rid of Ye Wangchuan. It can be said that... Tianchen lost completely tonight. When the news spreads tomorrow, I'm afraid that the forces that we suppressed in the past will start to stir again."
Jian Jin sneered: "They dare!"
Lu Zhi lowered his eyelashes, his eyes fell on the jade ring on his finger, he turned it with his hand, and a cold arc appeared at the corner of his lips: "This is an illegal area, of course they dare. It's not scary if they dare to provoke Tianchen, just kill them all."
He said it lightly and casually.
Still fiddling with the ring on his hand, Lu Zhi decided the life and death of some people without even raising his eyelids.
"Okay." Jian Jin agreed.
She has followed Lu Zhi step by step to her current position over the years and knows very well what the illegal area is like.
There is no room for rampant compassion, kindness, or sainthood here.
She and Lu Zhi paved the way in the blood and allowed Tianchen to sit firmly in the top position in the illegal area. After what happened tonight, if they didn't deter others, Lu Zhi and she would be harassed and harmed endlessly by the forces ready to make a move.
In order to protect Lu Zhi, she had to do this.
Jian Jin had long been accustomed to the fighting and killing in the illegal area. Compared with this, she cared more about other things: "Are you and Qiao Zhen not reconciled?"
She paused, afraid that Lu Zhi would continue to do what he did tonight, so she took a deep breath and said to him, "If you really like Qiao, you might as well go after her directly."
Lu Zhi looked up at her and paused playing with the jade ring on his hand, which meant he was interested.
Jian Jin got his interest, looked at him and continued, "Qiao and Ye Shao haven't married yet, they are just boyfriend and girlfriend now. It's not like you don't have a chance to pursue her, just pursue her if you want to. Don't act like we are gangsters who only know how to kill, set fire or rob... You said you want to kill Ye Shao before pursuing her, why don't you just pursue her directly? Ye Shao and Qiao are not married, you are making it seem like you have to wait until Qiao is widowed before pursuing her! What a roundabout way."
Lu Zhi probably listened to it a little bit, he looked down and didn't look happy: "I have pursued her before."
“…” You call that chasing someone
Jian Jin looked up at the sky in silence, but she held back and didn't want to hit him: "You were too reserved before! I meant that we could pursue her more directly."
Lu Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly and tapped his beautiful fingers on the wheelchair, as if he was thinking about what she said.
Jian Jin didn't dare to disturb him and kept quiet, letting him think carefully.
Half a day passed.
Lu Zhi's indifferent voice was heard in the car: "How do you say we should chase him?"
Jian Jin suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately enthusiastically discussed with him how to pursue girls, fearing that he would get carried away and be dragged by Nie Qingru into some life-and-death situation.
Her dream is not world peace, but that the people important to her can live in peace.
She never wanted to see what happened tonight happen again.
**
Lu Zhi was lucky to have Jian Jin on his side, but the losses were severe, and he also had to deal with provocations from other opposing forces after dawn.
Compared to Lu Zhi, Shadow was in a much worse situation.
Because of their relationship with Tianchen and Jianjin, Qiao Nian's people were relatively lenient towards Lu Zhi's people and did not beat them to death.
