Lawrence's fingers clenched the bed sheet. "It's just a superficial wound."

"Really?" Liz chuckled. "Then why did the doctor say you need to stay in bed for at least three months?"

Lawrence's expression changed.

Three months is indeed too long, and many unexpected things will definitely happen during this period, so he is anxious.

Liz continued, "I know you're unwilling to accept this. Don't worry, I will avenge you and kill the little thing that made you step on the landmine."

Lawrence was startled, but his focus was not on revenge. Instead, he asked, "Are you going to the imperial capital?"

If Liz went to the imperial capital, it would be for the ring. By then, Boone and Butch would definitely not be her match, and it would be even more difficult for her to get the ring.

Liz pulled a cigarette from her handbag and lit it elegantly: "Do you think they can get the ring with just the two of them?"

She blew out a puff of smoke, her voice soft but threatening, "Lawrence, remember, that ring is mine."

She knew that Boone and Butch had gone to the imperial capital and were still eyeing the ring. The reason she wasn't in a hurry to act was that she wanted to see if they could actually get it.

If it succeeds, she will reap the benefits.

Lawrence's eyes tightened: "What do you want to do?"

Liz flicked the ash from her cigarette. "The easiest way is to kill them."

Lawrence asked tentatively, "Aren't you afraid that the old man will hold you accountable?"

Liz suddenly sneered, "What are you afraid of? It's not like we haven't done this before. The fire was originally intended to kill them, but who knew they survived."

Her eyes turned cold. "They should have died long ago. I can choose not to kill Shu Qing. After all, she no longer poses any threat to me. But now her daughter must die. Who told the old lady to give her the ring?"

Lawrence felt a chill run up his spine when he thought of the fire more than 20 years ago.

"You even dared to kill your own sister, Liz. You are so cruel. I am ashamed of myself."

Liz looked at Lawrence with disdain and indifference, and put out the cigarette butt on the bedside table: "Take good care of your injuries, Lawrence, and wait until the bandage on your face is removed..."

She paused deliberately, "I hope I can still recognize who you are."

After saying that, she turned and left, the sound of her high heels gradually fading away.

Lawrence stared at the closed door, his fingers suddenly clenched, but he was thinking about how to deal with it in his mind.

If Liz takes action personally, Su Yutang's family will surely die, but in this way, the ring will fall into Liz's hands. When Liz becomes the heir, his status will inevitably plummet.

......

On the other side, in order to track the whereabouts of Liz's son, Gu Yueze followed Liz all the way to the hospital. Coincidentally, he saw two of Lawrence's men in the hospital corridor.

Gu Yueze followed all the way up, sticking to the wall at the corner, holding his breath, and listening intently to the conversation between two men not far away.

One of them complained, "Master Lawrence was harmed by that kid. Why does he take his anger out on us every day?"

Another said, "Who knows? Anyway, the young master's temper has been getting worse and worse recently. We are all going to suffer for it in the next few months."

The first one changed the subject: "But when the young master gets better, I will definitely seek revenge, and then I will definitely kill Su Yutang's family."

Gu Yueze's body tensed instantly.

revenge?

Killed Su Yutang's family?

"That's right. They injured the young master so badly and then ran away. The young master will never let it go like this." The second voice lowered its voice. "I guess the young master Lawrence will go to the imperial capital to attack before he can recover."

Gu Yueze clenched his fist unconsciously. Lawrence was going to attack his cousin and his family!

"Hey, what are you doing sneaking around like that?"

Suddenly, a clear female voice sounded behind him, scaring Gu Yueze so much that he almost jumped up.

He turned around suddenly and saw Gu Xuan and Song Zhizhi, two girls, walking towards him in a swaggering manner, completely unaware of the conversation at the corner.

The person who spoke just now was Song Zhizhi, who leaned her head forward to look.

"Don't go over there!" Gu Yueze rushed forward and pulled the two men back with one hand each.

Song Zhizhi staggered as he pulled her, then turned around and asked angrily, "What are you doing?"

Gu Yueze wanted to cover her mouth, but it was too late.

The conversation in the corridor stopped abruptly, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps.

"Oh no..." Gu Yueze thought to himself.

Two burly bodyguards came out from the corner and glanced at the three of them fiercely: "Who are you?"

Song Zhizhi and Gu Xuan were stunned, their eyes blank.

Gu Yueze reacted very quickly and immediately pretended to be innocent: "Ah? What are you talking about? I... I don't understand..."

Seeing that the other party was not a local and seemed not to understand what they were saying, the two men gave them a warning look and turned away.

Gu Yueze didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the two of them walked away. He then clenched his fists and glared at them: "Who made you two so impatient? Don't you know I'm trying to spy on the enemy?"

Gu Xuan blinked: "What enemy situation are you trying to find out?"

Gu Yueze's expression was solemn: "I just heard them say that Lawrence was going to deal with my eldest cousin and his wife's family."

"what?"

Gu Xuan's eyes widened instantly: "They actually want to harm my cousin and the others!"

Her voice unconsciously rose an octave, but was stopped by Gu Yueze's look. "Luckily, we overheard it. We must tell my cousin and the others so they can prepare in advance!"

Song Zhizhi also nodded repeatedly: "Yes, we must remind Brother Jingzhou."

Gu Yueze was speechless. My cousin is so smart, is it your turn to remind him?

Gu Yueze glanced at the two of them irritably, especially Song Zhizhi.

Gu Yueze was furious when he thought that if she hadn't rashly run over and yelled at them, those two people wouldn't have discovered their whereabouts.

"Really? Who told you to bring her here?" Gu Yueze glared at Gu Xuan coldly, his voice filled with suppressed anger.

He originally planned to bring only Gu Xuan, but who knew that she would bring Song Zhizhi as well.

Gu Xuan curled her lips and took Song Zhizhi's arm: "Zhizhi is my best friend, what's wrong with me bringing her here?"

"Exactly. Can't I come?" Song Zhizhi raised her chin and met Gu Yueze's gaze fearlessly. "Is this road yours?"

Gu Yueze narrowed his eyes and looked at the little girl in front of him who was twice as short as him.

She was wearing a light blue dress today, which made her skin look fair and translucent. She looked cute and well-behaved, but her eyes were full of provocation.

Forget it, she’s the little princess spoiled by the Song family, why bother with her?

"Yes." Gu Yueze sneered, "I just annoy you!"

"What a coincidence, I'm annoyed with you too!" Song Zhizhi immediately hit back, her fingers unconsciously clenching the hem of her skirt.

Gu Yueze rolled his eyes: "Why are you still here to bother me? Hurry up and disappear. Don't let me see you!"

Song Zhizhi was so angry that she took two steps forward: "Gu Yueze, do you think I want to see you? I came here to accompany Xuanxuan, not you——"
