Lu Jinhuan shielded me behind him and continued to attack that person with the icicles.
At this moment, I had already reacted. That person wasn't human because his entire body was emitting a dense aura of death. He wasn't a ghost either because he had a shadow.
Then, he was…
Zombies!
The two words that suddenly popped into my mind made me tremble. Gu Ming said that the zombie at the construction site might come to find me, and it really came.
However, the information didn't seem to match.
That day, Gu Ming saved me, but the zombie said that Lu Jinhuan killed his ghost servant, destroyed his Yin Coffin, and stole his food. Could there be two zombies?
Just as I was in a daze, a withered hand suddenly grabbed my shoulder and lifted me up.
I was already having a fever, so I didn't have the strength to resist at all. I could only watch helplessly as the zombie carried me like a chicken.
Seeing that I was about to be taken out of the door, the zombie's hand suddenly loosened and I fell to the ground. After a moment of dizziness, my vision recovered.
I saw the zombie holding the hand that was pierced by the icicle and escaping from the door. Then, a slender figure rushed towards me, overlapping with the figure I saw at the construction site that night before I fainted.
So it was really him who rushed over to save me that night.
I extended my hand to Lu Jinhuan. He ran to me and held my hand tightly, pulling me into his arms.
Leaning against his cold chest, I suddenly recalled the scene of him sitting in the shadows of the corridor that day. He was so weak that he was about to disappear. My heart suddenly ached, and my eyes were sore.
"Why did you rush out of the formation to save me?”I asked with tears in my eyes.
Lu Jinhuan pursed his thin lips and carried me back to the room with a gloomy face. He placed me on the bed and turned around to walk out. He didn't say a word from beginning to end.
But the more he refused to tell me, the more I wanted to know.
I struggled to get out of bed and stumbled after him." Lu Jinhuan, why aren't you answering me?”
However, he still ignored me and left without looking back. When I reached the door, my legs went weak and I fell to the ground.
At this moment, the figure that had left suddenly returned to me. He silently carried me back to the bed from the ground. I was afraid that he would leave, so I grabbed the corner of his shirt.
"Lu Jinhuan, I won't force you to answer. Don't go, I'm scared.”
I was really scared. I was afraid that the zombie would come back and attack me again. I didn't want to be sucked dry by him and become a dried corpse. That kind of death was too terrifying.
Besides, I don't want to die.
Lu Jinhuan frowned slightly and sat down on the bed. I leaned against him and asked,""Pei Yuan said that there's a formation here, so why are those ghosts and zombies able to enter and exit at will?”
"The formation is only to trap me. It won't affect other ghosts.”Lu Jinhuan replied coldly.
I nodded, but I was still worried."In the future, no matter what, don't force your way out of the formation again.”
Lu Jinhuan pursed his thin lips and glanced at me coldly before looking at the night sky outside the door.
I tactfully kept silent.
Lu Jinhuan's cold aura made me feel at ease. I fell asleep unknowingly and woke up for no reason. I just happened to see Lu Jinhuan's back as he left.
" Lu Jinhuan…" I hesitated for a moment before calling out to him.
Lu Jinhuan stopped and turned around. He looked at me and said coldly,""If you die, the Lu family will send me another woman. I find it troublesome.”
I was stunned. So, this was the reason why he saved me.
Because it was troublesome to change someone else.
That's true. Otherwise, what else could it be?
"No matter what, thank you.”I forced a smile and quickly hid under the blanket. Tears welled up in my eyes.
I was too desperate to find someone to rely on. After Lu Jinhuan saved me time and time again, I became dependent on him and even had a good impression of him.
When he was injured, I would worry. When he was not around, I would feel uneasy. When he was by my side, I would want to rely on him.
" But I forgot, I forgot my mission here. I forgot that I should have treated Lu Jinhuan like a snake. I even forgot that Lu Jinhuan isn't human...
How could a vengeful soul that was filled with hatred have a good impression of a chess piece sent by the enemy?
As for me, I am a chess piece that cannot be controlled. How could I dare to dream of anything else? What I should do is to focus on completing the mission.
After recognizing the truth, I finally realized that I couldn't continue like this. I had to quickly complete the mission the Lu family gave me and let myself return to my previous life as soon as possible.
However, Lu Jinhuan is as cold as ice. It's hard to get close to him. What should I do to gain his trust?
As I thought about it, I actually fell asleep unknowingly.
When I woke up, my fever didn't go down. Instead, it got worse. I could only force myself out of bed and walk out to buy fever medicine.
When I walked to the road outside the Lu family's villa, I suddenly saw Gu Ming leaning against the front of the car, looking in the direction of the old house with a heavy gaze.
I frowned. Why was he here?
"Shen Yan, what's wrong with you?" Gu Ming quickly walked toward me when he saw me. Why do you look so pale?"
He looked at me with concern in his eyes. I could feel that his concern for me was not fake, but the person who saved me at the construction site that night was clearly not him. Why did he lie to me?
I wanted to clarify, but he looked so concerned that I couldn't say anything. I could only force a smile." I have a fever. It's just a small problem."”
Gu Ming placed the back of his hand on my forehead and frowned."This isn't an ordinary fever. It's caused by Yin Qi entering your body.”
"Then what should we do?"
"I have a pill to expel Yin Qi, but I don't have it with me. How about this? I'll send you to the hospital first and then go home to get the pill.”
As he spoke, Gu Ming had already stuffed me into the car. After starting the car, he took out his phone and dialed a number.
"Shen Yan has a fever. I'll bring her over now.”
After saying that, Gu Ming hung up the phone and turned to look at me."With your current physique, you can't stay in the hospital for too long. I'll send you to Cheng Huan's house after you're done.”
"No need, I'll just go home." I immediately refused.
After what happened last time, I really didn't dare to get close to Cheng Huan anymore. I was afraid that she would be plagued by bad luck because of me.
Gu Ming looked ahead and said in a deep voice,""Shen Yan, if the home you're talking about is the Lu family's old residence, then I advise you not to go back for the time being.”
It seems that he already knows that I live in the Lu family's old residence. He also knows that there is a problem there. It seems that other than the Lu family's villa, there is only the old residence. Even the dumbest person can guess it. Moreover, Gu Ming is not stupid at all.
But if I don't go back to the Lu family's old residence, where can I go?#
