Chapter 55: Fifty-four, I like you
Lu Hanmo was enamored as he watched Luo Shu’s bright and charming smile, his eyes brimming with tenderness.
“Brother Lu, do you…do you like me?” Luo Shu asked with a flushed face, shyly looking at Lu Hanmo. She had kept this question in her heart for two lifetimes, and today she finally had the chance to ask it.
Lu Hanmo’s deep eyes gazed at Luo Shu with tenderness, his lips curving into a light smile, “Can’t you feel it?” At that moment, he truly wished time could stop so he could quietly watch her forever.
“But I want to hear you say it.” Luo Shu looked at Lu Hanmo with anticipation, the shining light in her starry eyes outshining even the most exquisite glass beads.
Lu Hanmo’s ears turned slightly red, he cleared his throat, “I…I like you, I have liked you for a long time.” In the previous life, he had fallen for her, it’s just that they had a substantial age difference.
Hearing the answer she wanted, Luo Shu’s heart instantly filled with excitement, disregarding all restraint, “I have also liked you for a very, very long time…”
Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside, followed by a knock on the door, “Brother Lu, hurry and open the door, something happened at Master Hu’s place!”
Lu Hanmo reluctantly let go of Luo Shu, “I’ll go open the door.”
“Mhm!” Luo Shu nodded with shyness, her face revealing a touch of blissful smile. She had finally succeeded in her confession; her love was not unrequited.

Lu Hanmo got up, went forward, and opened the door, “What happened?”
“The woman over at Master Hu’s place has escaped, Master Hu was hit in the head by that woman,” the person hurriedly reported. Though Lu Xun arrived later than him, he had gained a lot of Master Hu’s trust.
“Let’s go!” Lu Hanmo stepped out heading towards Xiao Hu’s room. It seemed the plan had to be moved up.
“Brother Lu, let me go with you!” Luo Shu caught up and grabbed Lu Hanmo’s hand. When it was time for Lu Hanmo to choose between her and Qin Yue, she was certain there was something between Lu Hanmo and Qin Yue. Now that Qin Yue had run away, she worried that Lu Hanmo might also be in danger.
Lu Hanmo saw that Luo Shu had put on one of his jackets, no longer the coquettish figure from before, but instead she had quite the air that evoked a desire to protect her. He nodded, “Let’s go!” Even if Shushu didn’t go now, Xiao Hu would definitely have someone call for her later, and he would feel more at ease with Shushu by his side.
Before the trio even reached Xiao Hu’s room, they could hear Xiao Hu’s angry roar, “Go find her! Even if you have to turn Yunbei Province upside down, bring her to me. That damn woman! How dare she smash my head with a vase.”
“Don’t be afraid, I’m here.” Worried Luo Shu might be frightened, Lu Hanmo tightened his grip on her hand and gave her a reassuring look.
Luo Shu shook her head and returned his look with a smile.
Entering the room, they saw Xiao Hu’s head wrapped in thick gauze, with spots of blood seeping through. His injury appeared to be serious.
“Master Hu!” Lu Hanmo stepped forward and respectfully called out.
Xiao Hu’s face was grim as he nodded, his gaze turned to Luo Shu next to Lu Hanmo. Noticeable on her was Lu Hanmo’s clothes and her reddened lips, he raised his eyebrows in surprise, “The woman who escaped might be an undercover.”
While speaking, Xiao Hu had already drawn a gun from his waist, pointing it at Luo Shu’s head. Luo Shu and Qin Yue had been brought in together; they might have been accomplices. This was how he operated; he’d rather make a wrongful killing than let anyone off the hook. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have achieved what he had today.
Luo Shu was terrified, quickly retreating two steps and hiding behind Lu Hanmo, “Brother Lu…save me…I’m so scared…” At the same time, her hand hidden in her sleeve subtly pinched something, and a small clump of transparent powder silently disappeared into the air. It was just her and Lu Hanmo now, she had to strike first to survive.
“Master Hu, please show mercy,” Lu Hanmo had not expected Xiao Hu to point a gun at Luo Shu and was also taken aback. But he knew he had to stay calm; otherwise, he would not only endanger Shushu but also himself.
“You seem to care a lot about this woman?” Xiao Hu asked with a cold laugh. Unexpectedly, this woman had some tricks, managing to captivate Lu Xun so quickly.
“No, it’s just that I haven’t with her yet…” Lu Hanmo glanced at Luo Shu, coughing lightly with a hint of embarrassment.
Xiao Hu suddenly burst into loud laughter, patting Lu Hanmo’s shoulder, “I thought you didn’t like women, boy. But this woman must die!” His expression turned grim again, and he aimed the gun once more at Luo Shu. Regardless of whether Luo Shu was in league with Qin Yue, he didn’t want to keep her alive.
Lu Hanmo’s eyes flashed with a determined look; he pulled Luo Shu’s hand and stepped back, and a handgun appeared in his own hand, aimed at Xiao Hu. He’d rather fail the mission and face punishment than let Xiao Hu harm a single hair on Shushu.
Xiao Hu’s men at his side were momentarily stunned, then drew their guns, pointing them at Lu Hanmo and Luo Shu.
“Hahaha…” Xiao Hu laughed coldly, “Lu Xun, no, Lu Hanmo, you’ve finally shown your true colors. Is she really worth it for just a woman?” Lu Hanmo had not been with him for a long time when he received word that Lu Hanmo was an undercover. He didn’t want to kill him so quickly, so he played a slow game with him, waiting to see when he would reveal himself.
Lu Hanmo was shocked, looking at Xiao Hu in astonishment, “How did you know?” When he took the name Lu Xun, all the information about him had been destroyed. It had to be someone who knew him, someone who wanted to put him to death. Who could it be?
