MWC – Chapter 6 Hunting

I AM DROPPING THIS NOVEL. IF ANYONE WANTS TO CONTINUE THEY CAN. IF POSSIBLE PLEASE SHARE THE LINK SO I CAN BINGE READ TOO.

Lu Ming hurriedly walked out of Courtroom No. 1 and headed towards the restroom.

Although he had won the lawsuit, he knew the mastermind behind the scenes wouldn’t let it go easily. Especially if they discovered he was the key to winning this case, they wouldn’t use the same tactics they used against a playboy to deal with him.

“Ah…” A soft, gentle voice exclaimed behind him.

Lu Ming turned his head and saw it was Zhen Shi. She was chasing after him, almost twisting her small foot in her embroidered shoes.

“Master, I… I couldn’t catch up to you. Please, don’t be angry…”

Lu Ming was speechless. “Why are you following me? The case is over, and we don’t have any connection. We should each go our own way.”

“But, but I am your woman… And I have nowhere to go… Master, are you abandoning me? Did I do something wrong?” Zhen Shi’s face turned pale, and her beautiful eyes filled with tears.

When did you become my woman? Lu Ming wanted to scream. Although, at the time when he and she met Long Daxing, Long Daxing did say he had redeemed her and was giving her to him.

Just as he was about to say something, Lu Ming saw behind Zhen Shi, Han Annie was looking at him with disdain in her large, bright eyes. The meaning in her gaze was clear: Hmph, still claiming you’re not a pair of adulterers?

Shaking his head, Lu Ming said, “Fine, come with me, come with me!” He reached out, grabbed Zhen Shi’s wrist, and started walking. But his body hesitated slightly; the sensation of her smooth, jade-like wrist in his hand was indescribably pleasant.

Hurrying down the corridor with Zhen Shi in tow, they turned a corner, only to see two men in black clothing striding towards them.

Lu Ming suddenly felt something was wrong. He pulled Zhen Shi and moved towards another corridor.

“Kill!” The two men in black suddenly drew shiny axes from their waists and charged at them.

Lu Ming pulled Zhen Shi and started to run, but he felt as if his legs were filled with lead, unable to run fast. His physical condition was really disappointing.

The two men in black quickly caught up, swinging their axes down.

Lu Ming broke into a cold sweat. Seeing the glinting axes about to strike, he instinctively pulled Zhen Shi to the side, shielding her behind him. It might have been a reflex—since childhood, he had the notion that men should protect women.

Pulling Zhen Shi back repeatedly, they managed to dodge a few blows, but then Lu Ming tripped, and they both fell. The cold, gleaming axes immediately came down.

Lu Ming had no way to avoid it. In that instant, the sharp axe blades seemed to magnify infinitely in his eyes.

Time seemed to stop.

Am I going to die?

Lu Ming thought dazedly.

I came to this world less than a day ago, and now I’m leaving just as suddenly?

Will I return to my original world?

I hope so?

I miss my dad and mom.

It’s just, originally, I didn’t think about this longing at all.

“Bang bang bang” a few loud noises, and the two men in black fell beside Lu Ming.

Then, someone helped him up, “Master, get up quickly, the ground is cold…”

Lu Ming, in a daze, gradually came to his senses and saw Han Annie walking towards them in her black police uniform, her face stern. “Bang,” she fired another shot, and another man in black, rushing from the other corridor, fell.

The one supporting him was Zhen Shi.

Lu Ming felt a bit helpless. If it were an ordinary woman, she would have been scared to death, crying and screaming. But Zhen Shi remained calm.

He had long noticed her thinking was different from normal people’s, lacking many common senses, like the concept of life and death.

She had been isolated and brainwashed since childhood, taught how to please her future master, how to be loyal and dependent on her master.

In some ways, she was like a programmed robot, with her own worldview and rules.

No wonder Wanshan Tower’s strange goods were in high demand. It must have taken countless silver coins to cultivate such an exceptional woman, perfect in both body and temperament from a man’s dream. If not for Long DaXing’s threat, she would have been sold to a wealthy family in the provincial capital or even the imperial city.

These thoughts flashed through Lu Ming’s mind as they reached the restroom. He kicked open the door, pulled Zhen Shi inside, and called, “Han Annie, here!”

Han Annie did not follow.

At the restroom window, seeing it was a bit high, Lu Ming said, “I’ll lift you up.”

He lifted Zhen Shi towards the window. Despite the danger, holding Zhen Shi’s soft and delicate body made his heart pound, as if he was holding a fairy from heaven. Was this how it felt?

But soon, the romantic feeling vanished, as Lu Ming realized he couldn’t lift her!

His physique was really disappointing…

Lu Ming wanted to cry but had no tears.

“I’ll go up first, then pull you up!”

Lu Ming jumped, grabbed the window sill with both hands, but was stuck there like a hanging ghost, unable to move.

“Han Annie, Han Annie…” Lu Ming called out twice.

Han Annie quickly came in, frowning at the scene.

Lu Ming turned, his face flushed, partly from exertion, partly from embarrassment.

In his previous life, when had he ever been this undignified and awkward in front of Han Annie?

Han Annie shook her head, walked over, and pushed his butt, sending him up to the window sill.

Then, she lifted Zhen Shi, and Lu Ming pulled her up onto the window sill.

“It’s dangerous outside, you come up too,” Lu Ming reached out to her.

Han Annie shook her head, “They are still after Officer Li. I need to check.”

Lu Ming froze, then understood. These people were members of the Shuanglong Society, who had gone mad after being provoked.

They thought he would be sent to prison, with some tough gang members waiting inside to torture and kill him.

But unexpectedly, he was declared not guilty and released.

These people went berserk immediately.

Moreover, the police prosecutor was believed to have taken bribes from him, which explained how this solid case was lost.

They were convinced that the rich Lu family had colluded with the police long ago.

Prosecutor Li Mingxuan was also one of the culprits.

So, these madmen, besides wanting to kill him, also wanted Li Mingxuan dead.

Li Mingxuan was truly unlucky.

Lu Ming felt a mix of emotions.

“Han Annie, why did you save me?!”

Seeing her about to leave, Lu Ming hurriedly asked.

Han Annie looked at him, her bright eyes blinking, “I will personally send you both to prison, but not let you die like this!”

Lu Ming remained silent, seeing the disgust in Han Annie’s eyes towards him and Zhen Shi.

Watching her leave, Lu Ming sighed softly.

He really didn’t have the strength. Otherwise, he would knock her out and take her with him. There were many things he wanted to say to her, many questions he didn’t know if she had answers to.

But he could only watch her walk away.

However, seeing her skills and marksmanship, and given that this was inside a courthouse, reinforcements would soon arrive. She should be safe.

Lu Ming shook his head, then jumped down from the window sill, stumbling and almost falling. He coughed, turned, and held out his hand to Zhen Shi, “Come, you too.”

Outside the restroom was a secluded alley, where a black car was parked.

The driver was Jin Bao’er, who ran down and opened the car door.
