WARNING! Tsundere President Chapter 469 - You’re Under Arrest

“Sis!”

Lu Zhaoyang heard Lu Bai calling her and swiftly opened the car door. “It’s you!”

Since he and Wen He were here, then was it Chen Jiu who fired just now?

Huo Yunting!

No, she cannot leave now. The a.s.sa.s.sin was none other than a terrorist who made it his personal goal to kill Huo Yunting!

She would stay, even if it meant taking the bullet for him. She was the one who caused Aunt Qiu’s death, and that meant she owed him plenty.

“Don’t go inside, it’s dangerous.” Lu Bai caught her wrist and said. “We must leave now!”

“Let go!” She cannot leave Huo Yunting alone in this dangerous place.

Lu Bai refused. “I will not allow you to risk your own life!”

“My life? Does that mean you knew what was going to happen?”

Lu Bai pursed his lips and did not reply. He simply dragged her back to the car and tried to push her inside.

Lu Zhaoyang fought back and said, “Lu Bai, why do all of you refuse to let go?!”

As they quarreled outside, something similar was happening in a corridor inside the manor compound.

Chen Jiu pressed on the bleeding wound on his arm and laid back against the wall, looking pale. He could only watch as Huo Chen approached him cautiously.

“Huo Chen, I wasn’t even here to kill you. Why are you so upset?”

“I wasn’t going to kill you too. That is only a flesh wound, it should be peanuts to you. As a professional a.s.sa.s.sin, you have gone against your code. Death is too good a sentence for you.”

Huo Chen pointed his gun at the man. The fury in his eyes was gradually subsiding.

Had he been a second too late, that bullet would have found Lu Zhaoyang!

“Does that mean you prefer that I shoot Huo Yunting instead? Isn’t he your nephew? I see that you are even more stone-hearted than me, and all because of a woman!” Chen Jiu grinned mockingly.

“You’re under arrest.” Huo Chen took out a pair of handcuffs. “Your freedom ends today, Chen Jiu.”

“I nearly died in your hands last time, do you think I would make the same mistake now?”

Had Wen He not warn him earlier, he would have probably been caught by Huo Chen back in Lu Bai’s rented place.

“I see, then perhaps you can give it a shot.”

Huo Chen looked cold and ruthless. His tuxedo lent him an air of professional detachment, which was very unlike his sunny persona when he was with Lu Zhaoyang.

Chen Jiu was confused by how Huo Chen did not have Wen He with him. He had left her to her own devices.

Did Wen He betray him?

Chen Jiu heaved a long exhale. The sharp pain in his wrist brought a frown to his face.

Suddenly, he saw Wen He walking appearing behind Huo Chen and walking toward them.

“Officer Huo, we’re a team now. There is no need to turn this ugly. Since you were willing to give me a chance, surely you can consider allowing Chen Jiu to redeem himself, right?”

She could have escaped in the chaotic aftermath of the gunshot, but she also knew that Chen Jiu should not have missed.

As a professional a.s.sa.s.sin, he must have been given a specific target. There was no reason for him to fire a warning shot.

There only explanation for the mistake was that something happened to him.

As expected, the d*mba.s.s was found out by Huo Chen!

“You’re a team? Wen He, what are you talking about? Have you betrayed us? No, I don’t believe it.” Chen Jiu watched her coming closer to him and felt even more baffled. “Kill him, quick! Do it now!”
