Can’t Take My Eyes Off You

Lu Xingzhi realized that the purpose of that group was to stall them. Therefore, they only threatened him with Red Garnet’s safety to stop their pursuit. They did not expect him to have a backup. That was why they had yet to harm Red Garnet.

With the addition of their new comrades, the place was under control in just three minutes.

The ground was covered in pools of blood.

Jiang Yao looked around and saw that no one on her side was seriously injured. She felt relieved as she ran toward Lu Xingzhi.

Lu Xingzhi had guessed that Jiang Yao was there from the moment he saw Moe. Although he did not have the time to look for that familiar figure in the chaotic battle, he guessed she was worried.

Therefore, he was not surprised to see Jiang Yao running toward him. However, in front of so many people, he was too embarrassed to hug her even though he really wanted to do that.

“Why didn’t you stay in Shu City?”

Even though Lu Xingzhi held back from hugging his wife, he could not help but raise his hand to touch her face, which was somehow covered in dust.

“I’m worried about you.”

Jiang Yao raised her hand and placed her palm on the back of Lu Xingzhi’s hand. Then, she said, “Xingzhi, did you see Mr. G and Ah Da on your way here?”

“No. When I found their hiding place, they had already left. Then, I chased after them in this direction. I knew that I might not be able to catch them, but I tried. I did not expect to see their movements in the mountains. Then, I was stopped by one of their groups of men. I guessed that they were protecting another group of people. They were deliberately stalling me to give them enough time to flee. Then, they sent a group of men to chase after them. They left the rest of the people to take Red Garnet. I did not expect that they had hidden a group of men here. They only showed up after the fight. We suffered because we had fewer men.”

In other words, Lu Xingzhi had not even caught up with Mr. G and Ah Da when he saw those men.

Jiang Yao thought that it made sense. If Lu Xingzhi knew Mr. G’s identity, how could he still be calm at that moment?

However, Lu Xingzhi had to know about that little fact.

Jiang Yao gently removed his hands from her face and held them with both of her hands. She looked at Lu Xingzhi. Then, she said, “Xingzhi, Mr. G’s identity has been confirmed. It’s Sergeant Ge. Uncle Liang called you to tell you that, but your phone ran out of battery. So, Uncle Liang and I rushed over here to support you. This is where Sergeant Ge brought Zhou Junmin and the Red Garnet. Ah Da took Colonel Lin and left in the opposite direction of the town. Sergeant Ge must have deliberately lured you here to give Ah Da a chance to escape. He even gave Ah Da a hostage—Colonel Lin! He had even bribed the man in town who gave you directions. That man is a liar.”

Jiang Yao finished those words in one go, and there was no pause in the middle to give Lu Xingzhi the time to reflect on them.

However, every word stabbed Lu Xingzhi’s heart.

“Sergeant Ge?”

Even though his eyes were still as calm as an ancient well, they were filled with shock and hatred. “How can it be him?”
