Chapter 1007: A Cheng Values Friends More Than Life, I Don’t Want to See Him Remorseful and Sad
The night of the cruise banquet.Zimei once again drank herself into a stupor.
She asked Ye Cheng to talk on the deck, warning him that the trip to Japan would be dangerous, yet clearly, Ye Cheng didn’t listen.
Not only that, but their relationship once again reached a breaking point due to her reckless behavior.
She now began to hate herself too, for resorting to such a clumsy trick like threatening to jump into the sea, just to gain a little bit of his attention and care.
Zimei, oh Zimei, you are truly hopeless.
"Little Zi, wake up."
Lu Shanhu suddenly approached with a stern look, shaking the drunken woman slumped over the table, "We need to leave here immediately."
Zimei looked up with bleary eyes, puzzled, and asked, "Why? The banquet isn’t over yet..."
Lu Shanhu leaned close to her ear and whispered a few words.
Upon hearing them, Zimei sobered up in an instant. Her first reaction was to look around for Ye Cheng’s figure.
"I need to inform A Cheng, staying here will be dangerous for him!"
She stumbled forward, but Lu Shanhu grabbed her wrist abruptly: "Little Zi, don’t bother. He’s already left, with that female entertainer surnamed Xia."
Zimei stared blankly at Lu Shanhu, her brain sluggish.
"Left? Why would he..."
Lu Shanhu said gravely, "That woman got hurt, and he took her to the hospital."
Injured... What exactly happened...
"Little Zi, let’s go."
Lu Shanhu saw her bewildered expression; time was of the essence, so he said no more and hurriedly led her towards the exit.
They hadn’t gotten far when gunfire suddenly erupted, causing screams throughout the banquet. The hall descended into chaos, with cries and shouts filling the air.
The crystal chandeliers above were all shot and crashed down, injuring many people.
The surroundings were plunged into darkness.
At this moment, all the fleeing guests crowded toward the cruise entrance. In the darkness and fear, everyone was in disarray.
"Damn it, we’re a step too late." Lu Shanhu cursed softly, "Let’s go to the room upstairs; it’s the most dangerous down here now."
He pulled out a handgun from his coat, escorting Zimei to the upper level of the cruise.
The henchmen who came with Lu Shanhu also followed quietly, and the group gathered in an upstairs room.
Gunshots and wails continued unabated below.
Zimei sat there, her mind still lingering on Lu Shanhu’s words just now.
Ye Cheng had left with Xia Duoduo.
He certainly treated that actress differently.
"Little Zi, take this gun; it seems those Japanese are coming up!" Lu Shanhu tossed her a handgun, loaded his own gun, and signaled his men with his eyes to approach the door, ready to confront the enemy at any moment.
However, the footsteps outside did not stop but went to the neighboring room instead.
Two of his agile men climbed out of the window to gather intel.
About ten minutes later, they returned to report that Mr. Gu of the Gu Group, along with several heads of the Chamber of Commerce, had been captured and were taken hostage.
Zimei, who had been silent, suddenly stood up and spoke seriously: "Godfather, let’s help. Mr. Gu is A Cheng’s best friend; I can’t let anything happen to him."
"We’re short on manpower, let me think." Lu Shanhu said gravely.
Zimei said no more, efficiently loading the bullet into the chamber, and turned to head out the door.
"Little Zi, stop!" Lu Shanhu called out urgently upon seeing this.
"I understand if Godfather won’t help, but I must go rescue them. Friends mean more than life to A Cheng, and I don’t want to see him blame himself and feel sad."
Zimei spoke calmly, but her beautiful eyes were exceptionally determined.
