My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 966: Working as a Laborer for Her Family
His expression softened considerably.
"I’m glad you’re worried about me, but I have a reason I must leave right away. Don’t worry, I won’t die!"
He wasn’t actually afraid of those pursuers from before. Hmph, being hunted down at the auction like that was simply because he was unarmed. If he had his guns with him, those people would have been reduced to nothing, not even daring to touch a hair on Third Young Master Jun.
So, the reason he was in a hurry to leave was not because of these people, but...
Complex, dark emotions swirled in the bottomless depths of Third Young Master Jun’s eyes.
The godfather was angry.
He worried the godfather would lay a hand on Ye Lu.
He knew Su Feiman’s temperament all too well. He wouldn’t show his pleasure or anger, but the godfather was the rule-maker, innately autocratic, intolerant of challenges to his authority, and he couldn’t stand anything beyond his control.
And his actions today had displeased him. He had once told him that a man should not be distracted by personal relationships or let them affect the interests of the organization.
Once the godfather took action, it was terrifying, far beyond the threat posed by those other organizations’ assassins.
Third Young Master Jun looked up at Ye Lu with a softer gaze. He didn’t want her to sustain even the slightest injury, not even the godfather was allowed to harm a hair on her head!
"Alright." Ye Lu saw the determination in his eyes and knew that once this man made a decision, it was final. Although she didn’t know what the usually supremely confident man was worried about, now wasn’t the time to ask. "But you have to promise me that you’ll hold on until the plane lands, or else..."
"Or else what?" Third Young Master Jun’s eyes lit up as he looked at her intently.
Ye Lu huffed and turned her face away, "Or else I’ll throw you off the plane myself." To spare having to look at something so annoying.
Third Young Master Jun’s lips curved into a smile as he glanced at her, his eyes curving with delight, like a cat that got the cream.
"If you’re worried about me, just say it. No need for such roundabout, poison-tongued comments. Don’t worry, I’m not ready to die yet."
He now had a wife and four children, how could he bear to leave them? His will to live and to fight were incredibly strong.
Because he needed to be alive to properly protect them, to cherish them.
Now that departure was certain, Ye Lu didn’t waste words and immediately directed the bodyguards to prepare everything.
Seeing her clear-headed and rational in command, Third Young Master Jun breathed a sigh of relief. Despite the significant danger and setbacks they had just gone through, she was clearly able to adjust her mood and calm down quickly.
He felt reassured entrusting matters to her.
After relaxing, the fatigue and pain from his injuries swept over him. He closed his eyes, feeling somewhat drowsy.
Until he was lifted into the car.
That’s when he woke up to see Ji Family’s young master, Ling Kong, sitting in the passenger seat, dressed in tight black leather, ready for battle.
"Why is he here?"
Ye Lu responded with a snort, "You’re battered and can only lie here like a corpse. What if we get into a gunfight? Of course, I had to call in a little tank with incredible combat abilities—Master Ling Kong—to oversee everything."
Ling Kong frowned, realizing he was just running errands for her, essentially being her family’s hired muscle.
But then, turning to see Ye Yiyi’s adoring expression and starry eyes, his displeasure instantly melted away. Raising a little wife wasn’t easy!
Ye Lu then seriously explained, "Since you’re being so cautious, you must fear someone is targeting us. So, we need to be careful even when we leave, act quietly, without alerting anyone. That’s why I asked Ling Kong to bring a few cars over, pretending they were here for a visit, allowing us to leave in his car without being followed."
