"Gong Ou is still your husband, but if you are willing to believe me, he isn't."
Luo Lie said coldly.Hearing this, Shi Xiaonian felt unexplainably sad, so she helped Luo Lie to treat her wounds. "But, it was 1 in the morning at that time, why are you wearing this?"
No one would sleep dressed like that.
"I'm not going to dress like this, it's just …" Luo Lie paused here and did not continue.
"But what?"
Shi Xiaonian was suspicious. When Gong Yu saw Luo Lie's neat and tidy appearance, he naturally became even more suspicious.Luo Lie sat there in silence for a long time before he said, "But I didn't sleep."
As Shi Xiaonian listened, her whole person trembled. She looked at him in astonishment and suddenly understood what had happened. "It's because you guys argued during the day, that's why …"
That was why Rollie hadn't slept all night, and wasn't dressed like that to run away.
"Heh." Luo Lie sneered coldly and had a hint of self-mockery in his voice. "Although he called me a friend, in his eyes, I'm actually more of a stranger than he is."
If something happened, Gong Yu would blame him. If something happened, Gong Yu would suspect him.
Everything was his fault, everything was his fault.
"Dr. Lo, big bro, he …"Shi Xiaonian wanted to say something, but Luo Lie cut her off, "No need to say anymore, it's alright. I will be carrying the blame, but it's useless holding me back."
Yes, the killer was still outside.
Shi Xiaonian frowned, "Who exactly reported the letter to Lancaster family?"
"My servant and bodyguard disappeared overnight, so it's naturally someone amongst them who leaked the news. Perhaps they all leaked it." Luo Lie sneered. "You should know that the reward for reporting your letter is great."
So that's how it was.Shi Xiaonian bit her lips, looked at the rope in Luo Lie's hand, and said, "I'll help you undo it."
"Don't move!"
Luo Lie's eyes suddenly turned cold.
"What's wrong?" Shi Xiaonian retracted her hand.
"He tied it up for me. He didn't need anyone to untie it for me." Luo Lie said coldly, a trace of stubbornness in his eyes.
This was completely infuriating.
Anyone else would feel uncomfortable if Luo Lie was misunderstood by Gong Yu again and again.
"Dr. Lo, just explain the misunderstanding clearly." Shi Xiaonian could only say this.
"Mrs. Gong, this is a matter between him and me, you don't have to mediate." Luo Lie said coldly, his tone as stubborn as a child. After a long while, his gaze eased up a bit, "Mrs. Gong, you made Mr. Gong prepare herself, and my servant betrayed me. Lancaster will not forgive me, and even more so, will not be threatened. Thus, they will definitely attack us as soon as they are ready, and will not care about my life. ""Alright, I'll go now."
Shi Xiaonian was shocked. Just as she stood up and was about to leave, she heard gunshots outside. The instant the gunshots rang out, Gong Ou ran back quickly and pulled her towards the back."They're making a move. You guys go ahead and dodge, I'll push him out!"
Gong Yu said as he picked Luo Lie up from the sofa and untied the rope tied to his knees, then pulled him away.
Seeing that, Shi Xiaonian was so busy, "Brother, don't be like this, you misunderstood Dr. Lo, he did not inform us."
"What did he tell you, do you believe him?"
Gong Yu said as he pushed Luo Lie away.
"Bro, if you push him out like this, it will only cause his death." Without hesitation, Shi Xiaonian stood in front of Gong Yu, preventing him from leaving."Gong Ou, take care of your woman!" Gong Yu looked at Shi Xiaonian, "minuscule thought, I know you are soft-hearted, but now is not the time!"
"Brother!"Shi Xiaonian frowned, she was about to say something but was cut off by Luo Lie. He stood there with her hands tied behind his back, and laughed disdainfully.
"What are you laughing at?"
Gong Ou stood at the side with his black eyes fixated on Luo Lie, carrying a trace of probing in his eyes.
"The young master is incomparably wise and wise, I admire him immensely. Let's go." He didn't even need Gong Yu to push him as he walked towards the door. When he walked past Shi Xiaonian, he lowered his voice and said, "There's a basement under the desk in my room. Believe me, take them to hide there."
An hour or two would pass.
Shi Xiaonian stared at him blankly.Gong Yu followed behind Luo Lie and arrived at the tightly shut door. Gong Yu's hand was placed on the door, all he needed to do now was open a little and push open the door.
They would be able to deal with those assassins.Luo Lie stood there, not resisting at all. He lowered his gaze and watched Gong Yu's hand slowly move toward the door's handle. The corner of his mouth hooked up into a curve, the arc becoming deeper and deeper.
Shi Xiaonian stood there, and when she saw that Gong Yu was about to open the door, she could not help but shout out, "Brother, if you open the door now, you will only cause harm to Dr. Lo, and will be killed by the assassins outside!"
With that, Gong Yu's movements froze for a second, and he said coldly: "I already said, don't believe him."
Luo Lie had always been an eccentric person, so it wasn't strange for him to do anything out of line.
With that, Gong Yu held onto the door handle, Gong Ou pulled Shi Xiaonian away, causing him to become anxious, "Even if he was lying to me, what if, what if you were to open the door, the Dr. Lo would be killed?"
Assassins are inhumane.
Hearing this, Gong Yu couldn't help but look at Luo Lie. The smile on Luo Lie's face was as ironic as it could get, and as glaring as it could get. He then turned to look at Gong Ou and Shi Xiaonian.This was his little brother, sister-in-law, and his unborn nephew or niece. This was the future of the Gong Jia.
Rollie was the only trump card that could buy them time.
Can't use it.
Gong Yu thought, and a cold look flashed past his eyes. He reached for the door, and Shi Xiaonian's anxious voice sounded behind him, "Dr. Lo likes you! How could he possibly harm you! "
Luo Lie's body froze.
Gong Yu's body also froze.
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly turned extremely strange. The atmosphere in the hall was extremely quiet. The intermittent sounds of gunfire could be heard from outside, and the night seemed to have been exceptionally long."What did you say?"
Gong Yu turned his head and looked at Shi Xiaonian in disbelief.
Shi Xiaonian blurted out in a moment of desperation, and seeing Luo Lie's face turn pale, she immediately became angry at herself for talking too much, and said, "What I mean is, Dr. Lo treats you as such a good friend, how could he possibly harm you … "We …"
"…"
Gong Ou stood by Shi Xiaonian's side with a cold face, not at all interested in this kind of thing.
Gong Yu stood stiffly at the door, looking at Luo Lie in disbelief. Luo Lie's face was as white as snow, without a trace of blood.His hand slipped off the doorknob and he took three steps back.
Luo Lie stood there and watched from the sidelines as Gong Yu took three steps back. His eyes were ashen, and devoid of any life.
The matter was resolved.However, Shi Xiaonian didn't know if she should be happy or hate herself for talking too much.
Gong Yu did not push Luo Lie out again.They avoided a crisis in Luo Lie's basement, and while listening to the killers outside searching back and forth, it was very noisy, but no one noticed that Luo Mansion had another basement.
The people of Gong Jia were quick, they arrived in an hour and captured the killer, controlling the entire Luo Mansion.
Shi Xiaonian, Gong Ou and the others stayed in the basement.
Shi Xiaonian was carrying Shi Xiaonian, and Luo Lie and Gong Yu were standing separately at the opposite corner. The two of them did not say a single word, their expressions complex.
"It's not your problem!"
Gong Ou stared at Shi Xiaonian, instantly seeing through what she was blaming himself for.Shi Xiaonian snuggled into his embrace, and didn't say anything. The atmosphere in the basement had frozen to the extreme, and Luo Lie's expression was extremely ugly, as if he was a patient.
However, Gong Yu just stood there with his eyes downcast, with no expression on his face.
"Bang, bang, bang."
There was a tapping sound from above his head.
"Young Master, minuscule thought, it's us. You can come out now."
It was Feng De's voice.The reinforcements had arrived. The danger of the night had passed, but …
Shi Xiaonian couldn't help but look at Luo Lie and Gong Yu. How were they going to turn things around between them?
"Let's go."Gong Ou stood up while hugging Shi Xiaonian and walked up the stone stairs. Opening the secret compartment, Feng De and a bunch of bodyguards stood there.
Feng De was dressed in the attire of a butler, he had snow-white short hair with a pretty good complexion, on his chest hung an antique pocket watch, he reached out his hand and pulled Shi Xiaonian up.Seeing that they were safe and sound, Feng De heaved a sigh of relief, "It's good that you guys are fine."
"I've worried you, godfather."
Shi Xiaonian went forward and hugged Feng De, consoling him.
"Hurry up and take a rest." Feng De said, he turned his eyes and was stunned, "This is..."Shi Xiaonian looked over when she heard the noise and saw Gong Yu and Luo Lie coming up from the basement. Luo Lie's hands were still tied behind his back.
"Hurry and help Dr. Lo untie the ropes."
Shi Xiaonian immediately said. Now that the truth had been revealed, there was nothing left to doubt. If Luo Lie betrayed them, the killers would definitely find the underground room to kill them.
"Alright."
Feng De immediately walked towards Luo Lie. Luo Lie's pale face carried a cold expression. He retreated to the side and said coldly, "There's no need."
He wouldn't allow anyone to remove this knot.Feng De stood there in a daze, unable to make heads or tails of the situation, and the atmosphere was a little strange.
Shi Xiaonian could not help but look at Gong Yu, she stood there with a gloomy face, the emotions in her eyes made it difficult for others to understand. After a long while, Gong Yu walked towards Luo Lie, stood in front of him, and enunciated each word clearly, "My fault, I, you were just waiting for me to do this?"
Shi Xiaonian could clearly see Luo Lie's eyelashes tremble severely.
Gong Yu walked behind Luo Lie and untied the rope for him with his head lowered. Luo Lie's wrist was covered in deep rope marks.
During the entire process, Luo Lie seemed to have stopped breathing, leaving behind only his eyelashes.
Shi Xiaonian felt very bad.
"Whap."
The rope fell to the ground.
Luo Lie stood there motionlessly, his lips moving. After hesitating for a long time, he slowly turned his head to look at Gong Yu, but before he could even speak, Gong Yu had already turned around and left.
