Chapter 655: One Bullet Here

The argument lasted till midnight.
Shangguan Ning had not expected that Jing Yiran had changed so much and cared about Lu so deeply. He was so concerned for her that a small wound on her made him get agitated. He kept pestering Jing Yichen to make him promise that he would never make Lu kill people in the future.
Jing Yichen also had thought about helping Lu quit, but when Jing Yiran spoke to him in such a terrible tone, he got annoyed. In irritation, he even threatened that he would make Lu kill each and every one of the Jing Family’s rivals.
The two brothers almost got into a fight because of this.
They were still arguing with each other on this matter when Lu reached back.
“Compensation? If she is so cheeky as to ask for compensation, I would definitely give some to her, but I don’t think that she is brazen enough to ask me.”
Jing Yichen was about to say something more when Shangguan Ning tugged at his sleeves and said, “Stop it, Yichen, let’s go home, our son is really tired now.”
Jing Rui’s wide eyes showed that he was not tired at all. He was in good spirits. His mother was blatantly lying!
But when Jing Yichen heard what Shangguan Ning said, he stopped arguing with Jing Yiran and took Jing Rui from Shangguan Ning’s arms. He took hold of her hand and walked out of the villa.
After they stepped out, Jing Yichen remembered that he should have driven away Jing Yiran from this villa which was originally his. Jing Yiran was living under his roof!
Only Lu and Jing Yiran were left alone in the living room now.
Lu leaned against his arms and whispered tiredly. “I truly can’t ask for any compensation. I insisted on killing Tang Shunian. It has nothing to do with Jing Yichen. The Jing Family has done way too much for me to complain about. I would have lost my life ages ago without them.”
Jing Yiran felt his heart aching badly.
He had been focussed upon fighting against Jing Yichen instead of caring about Lu. Also, he did not know how much the Jing Family had helped her apart from the blood transfusion, which was complicated enough.
If it had not been because of the Jing Family, Mu Wensheng would not have spent any efforts in helping Lu.
He had the same family name, but Mu Wensheng never treated him as part of the family.
Jing Yiran regretted arguing with Jing Yichen now. He had been able to control himself during the past few days but after Lu risked her life, he got so worked up that he lost his cool.
Jing Yichen was a very cold man who only cared about Shangguan Ning and Jing Rui.
Jing Yiran took hold of Lu helplessly and mumbled. “Am I a useless person? I keep giving you trouble rather than help you…”
Lu shook her head and held him tightly as she said, “I am the number 2 killer in the world. You can’t protect me. It is not about you, but me.”
But Jing Yichen could protect her.
Those were the words which Jing Yiran spoke deep inside his heart. He again saw how different he and Jing Yichen were in capability. It was a cruel blow on his self-esteem.
Jing Yiran laughed bitterly. At the moment, he had nothing. Even when he was the second master of the Jing Family earlier, with power and properties, he had never been a match against Jing Yichen. But he had never admitted it and kept deceiving himself.
Instead of staying glum, he started to think about a way to solve the problem. He needed to work hard and make it right so that one day, he was able to protect Lu with his own strength.
Jing Yiran removed her clothes slowly and checked her.
Lu did not shy away. She did not think that being stripped was a matter of shame.
She had many new wounds on her, mostly caused by the bombing.
But her cells could recover ten times faster than ordinary people. Her wounds could heal in one day, while it would take others ten days to recover.
So what Jing Yiran saw right now were just small hurts rather than bleeding wounds.
A while later, most of the marks would disappear as well. Only deep wounds would leave a scar.
He let out a sigh and was about to take Lu for a shower and rest when Lu said, “Take me to the hospital.”
Instantly, Jing Yiran asked nervously. “What is it? Are you feeling unwell?”
Lu pointed at her left shoulder. “A bullet is lodged here and is yet to be taken out.”
“What?!” Jing Yiran got both furious as well as heartroken. She had a bullet inside her and had been out hunting Tang Shunian all this while. It must have hurt a great deal and she had said nothing until now.
Jing Yiran felt his heart break. He himself had a bullet in the head that kept tormenting him. Sometimes it stung him and caused him immense pain. He could almost feel the tremendous pain in Lu’s shoulder.
When he had been checking Lu’s wounds, all he could see was a minor wound on the left shoulder. But now, she would have to go through an incision at the hospital to bring out the bullet and then get stitches.
Instead of saying anything, he walked out of the villa with her in his arms.
Due to Lu’s special physical condition, Jing Yiran did not dare to bring her to any other hospital apart from the Mu’s Hospital. When it was dark, he sneaked into the Mu’s Hospital. Yang Muyan had two men watching him all the time. Shangguan Ning and Jing Yichen had risked a great deal when they were at the villa, today.
Good that Yang Muyan did not suspect him much. The two men on watch were always quite laid back and Shangguan Ning had taken the back door when she came there.
Jing Yiran also brought Lu out from the back door. The two men were fast asleep.
Actually Yang Muyan’s men were really capable, and professional. But in order to keep Jing Yiran safe, Jing Yichen had arranged to drug the two men through their food because of which they ended up sleeping on duty.
