"We Are Both Guilty" - Chapter 100: Life or Death

The downfall of the Lu Group happened almost overnight, catching everyone off guard. Fortunately, Lu Jue had nothing to do with it. Although he was known as the heir of the Lu Group, he had never participated in any of the Lu Group's projects or resources. He even changed his household registration when he first entered university. Therefore, the downfall had no impact on Lu Jue.
He didn't even visit Qin Shuli and Lu Shilang. He just went to work at the company every day as usual, and then went to the hospital after get off work to take care of Lu Qingye with Lu Ying. His time was fully scheduled, and he didn't have any extra time for anyone else.
Sometimes he felt that, apart from the Lu family and those few friends, he had always been quite cold-blooded.
Today it was Ye Xingyue's turn to take care of Lu Qingye at the hospital, so he invited Lu Ying to go with him to see the studio near his company. It was the one he rented when he first started his business. Later, as his business grew, he moved the company to the building next door, but he never vacated that office. After all, it was a place that witnessed his growth and was filled with memories of his and Jin Shize's entrepreneurial journey.
This time, he hopes that this studio can also help Lu Ying establish herself in society.
The studio has only two floors, but it faces the street and is entirely sunny. Although it is located in the city center, it is quiet despite the hustle and bustle. The walls are even soundproofed, making it a fully qualified psychological counseling room.
"We'll renovate it according to your requirements and change the soft furnishings, and then it'll be ready to officially open for business." Lu Jue led Lu Ying around with practiced ease, explaining as he went.
"How much is the rent here?" Lu Ying did think this place was nice, but she figured the rent must be quite high.
“Thirty-five thousand a month,” Lu Jue said.
"It's alright, it's within my tolerance range," Lu Ying said with a smile.
"It's okay if you can't handle it, I'm here for you," Lu Jue said subconsciously.
“When I was pursuing my master’s and doctoral degrees, I participated in a lot of case treatments and research with my supervisor, so my income was pretty good,” Lu Ying said.
"Looks like being a psychologist is quite lucrative. How about I invest in you?" Lu Jue teased her.
"Investing?" Lu Ying asked.
"Or rather, partners?" Lu Jue asked.
"Shouldn't the partner bring in a better psychologist?" Lu Ying said seriously.
“Or I can pay the rent, renovations, and equipment, and when we have income, you can give me a 30% share,” Lu Jue said.
“Oh? That sounds feasible, but aren’t you worried that I’m inexperienced and don’t have any patients to serve?” Lu Ying asked.
"Don't be afraid, who are you? You're Lu Ying, the female tyrant of the Education Park area, a top student who completed her bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees at B University. Your strength shouldn't be underestimated," Lu Jue teased deliberately.
"Why do I hear a hint of sarcasm in your voice?" Lu Ying laughed.
"That's really unfair. I was just telling the truth. Even if things don't go well, you're still the sister of Lu Jue, one of the founders of Helu. Even if we don't get any patient consultations, I can afford to pay the money." Lu Jue started by joking, but then became serious. "I've said it before, all the money I earn is yours. You can spend it however you want."
"Uh, I know, but I have my own money. Don't look down on modern independent women, okay?" Lu Ying quickly changed the subject, afraid that if she continued, she would say something that went off-topic.
“That’s true. Ms. Lu Ying has always been a master at saving money since she was a child, so I’m just worrying unnecessarily. But I’m serious about investing,” Lu Jue said.
"Let me think about it." Lu Ying subconsciously reached out her right hand and turned the bracelet on her left wrist.
"Is this the bracelet I bought for you before? Why does the pattern look a little different?" Lu Jue's gaze was drawn to the bracelet on Lu Ying's hand.
"It's still the same string, but I don't know what's wrong with it. The blood-like veins on it seem to grow on their own, almost completely encircling the beads. But it's getting prettier and prettier." Lu Ying picked up a bead with her fingers and tugged at it.
Lu Jue subconsciously grabbed Lu Ying's hand, examined the bracelet carefully, and then said, "We should still ask Zhiyan when we have time. How could this bracelet possibly grow blood patterns on its own?"
"Hmm." Lu Ying twisted her wrist, pulling her hand away from Lu Jue's, her cheeks slightly flushed.
Lu Jue then realized what he had done. He coughed lightly, "I'm sorry, just now..."
"It's okay, I know you didn't mean it, it's alright," Lu Ying said, her face slightly flushed.
"Let's go then. If you think this studio is suitable, you can tell me the style of decoration you need, and I can find someone to decorate it for you." Lu Jue said as he led Lu Ying towards the door.
"Actually, there's no need for any special decoration. Just keep it bright and comfortable. It mainly depends on the soft furnishings. After all, the patients who come for consultations in the future will be a bit special. They need a safe, relaxing, and comfortable environment, and these soft furnishings can achieve that." As Lu Ying talked about her profession, she became more talkative. Lu Jue listened to her plans with a smile and responded to her from time to time.
I haven't felt this way in ages.
The two had just walked out of the studio chatting and laughing when someone bumped into Lu Ying. Caught off guard, Lu Ying was hit hard, and her pupils dilated instantly, her face draining of all color.
Tick-tock—
Bright red blood dripped to the ground. By the time Lu Ying realized that the person who had crashed into her had stabbed her in the abdomen with a dagger, the person had already twisted the dagger hard before pulling it out and releasing her. She slowly slid to the ground, clutching her abdomen, and gasped, "Xiao Jue, be careful."
However, the person who stabbed her clearly had no intention of letting anyone go. He took the dagger that had stabbed Lu Ying and stabbed Lu Jue, who was standing to the side. Because Lu Ying was stabbed first, Lu Jue had a chance to react and directly raised his hand to take the knife. The person pulled the dagger out of his hand and cut a deep groove in Lu Jue's palm that revealed the bone.
Then the man raised his hand and stabbed at Lu Jue with a dagger. Lu Jue punched the man's wrist, causing the dagger to fall from his hand. The man bent down to pick up the dagger, and Lu Jue took advantage of the opening to kick him in the chin with his knee. The man's body flipped upwards, and Lu Jue took the opportunity to kick him in the stomach, sending him flying several meters away. The man's black baseball cap fell off his head, and Lu Jue looked closely and saw that it was Shi Keyan!
He picked up the dagger that Shi Keyan had dropped on the ground and approached Shi Keyan, who was sitting on the ground, step by step. For a moment, he wanted to kill Shi Keyan, but before he had taken a few steps, Shi Keyan unzipped his coat, revealing homemade explosives strapped to his waist, and said maniacally, "Don't come any closer, or I'll set this explosives on fire, and none of you will live." As he spoke, he took out a lighter from his pocket and pressed it twice.
But perhaps because he fell, the lighter didn't light.
Seeing this, Lu Jue tried to snatch the lighter from Shi Keyan's hand, but Shi Keyan threw the lighter away and took out another one from his pocket. Lu Jue immediately turned around, pulled up Lu Ying who was slumped on the ground, and ran towards the entrance of the studio. Fortunately, they had just left the studio and hadn't had time to close the door.
Almost at the very moment that Shi Keyan lit the explosives on his body, and the flames hissed as they burned to their last bit, Lu Jue shoved Lu Ying into the studio. The force was so great that Lu Ying, who had been stabbed, fell to the ground and slid down the smooth tiles into the innermost part of the studio. Just as Lu Jue stepped into the studio and prepared to close the door, the explosives detonated.
boom……
The nearby doors and windows were shattered by the huge explosion. The door that Lu Jue hadn't had time to close detached from the wall and slammed heavily onto Lu Jue, knocking him to the ground.
Lu Ying, who was pushed to the innermost part of the studio by Lu Jue, was not affected by the explosion. However, the loud explosion made her dizzy and her ears bled. Moreover, after Shi Keyan stabbed her, he twisted the dagger in her abdomen. When the dagger was pulled out, a piece of intestine came out from her abdomen, which almost killed her.
But when she lay weakly on the floor at the far end of the studio and saw Lu Jue knocked to the ground by the door, whether it was a final burst of energy or something else, she somehow managed to stuff her intestines back into her abdomen through the wound with her bare hands. Then, as if she had suddenly gained strength, she leaped up from the ground, ran to the door in a few steps, pried open the security door that had been blown open by the door, and dragged him away from the glass.
At this moment, it was unclear whether Lu Jue had been hit by the door or had his internal organs damaged by the force of the explosion. Blood was constantly gushing from his mouth, and blood was also flowing from the back of his head. There was also a noticeable collapse in his ribs, and his eyes were closed, so it was unclear whether he was unconscious or...
Lu Ying held him tightly in her arms, her hands trembling as she touched his blood-stained face, her voice trembling as she said, "Xiao Jue, wake up, wake up, please don't fall asleep, please, don't fall asleep."
"I haven't told you yet how much I've missed you all these years. Please don't fall asleep, I beg you!"
Blood kept gushing from Lu Jue's mouth. Lu Ying reached out to wipe it away, but the more she wiped, the more blood flowed. She was on the verge of collapse. "Lu Jue! You can't die! You can't! You can't do this! I haven't even told you how much I want to be with you, how much I want to stay with you for the rest of my life! How dare you die! Don't you love me at all? You're just willing to leave like this?! Lu Jue!!!" Lu Ying screamed until her throat was hoarse, but Lu Jue still didn't respond.
So Lu Ying unleashed another burst of nameless strength, kneeling on the ground and dragging Lu Jue toward the door. She had to drag him out so that the ambulance would find him as soon as it arrived, giving him a chance to survive!
However, before she could drag Lu Jue to the door, she felt everything go black and fainted on top of Lu Jue, who was lying on the ground.
At that moment, the bracelet on her wrist emitted an eerie red light. After the light faded, each jade bead on the bracelet was tightly wrapped in blood vessels, hanging on Lu Ying's slender wrist in an indescribably eerie way...
