"Do not……"

He shook his head desperately, blood mixed with tears flowing all over his face.

The boy didn't understand why, even though he had survived the brutal fighting, the "enemy" waiting for them in the end would be the person they had grown up with since childhood.

Only those without weaknesses are qualified to be children of the Thorne family.

The man stood in the black rain curtain, a smile on his face, like a king surrounded by stars, and casually announced the rules of the last level of the game.

It's cold.

The night was pitch black without a trace of light.

His mother picked up the gun from the ground and placed it in his palm. Her delicate and fragile face showed no fear, only endless sadness. "Look at me, Ah Chu. You have to live. Do you understand?"

The boy was so frightened that he wanted to drop the gun in his hand, but his mother held him down firmly.

This woman, who was so weak that she could be killed by a single punch, was now unusually strong.

She held his fingers with her cold fingers, placed them on the bolt, and pointed the black muzzle at her heart.

Those watery eyes flashed with a sharp light that had never been seen before in the darkness. She whispered firmly, "Live... Leave him!"

"No, no, no..." The boy's blood-stained face was filled with fear. He tried his best to drop the gun in his hand, but his weak and trembling body couldn't even do such a simple action.

The woman smiled, her eyes filled with sadness and heartache, "I'm sorry, A-Chu."

"Mom loves you."

"Mom hopes that Ah Chu will be free forever—"

boom--

-

Xiao Chu came back from his memories, and the warm sunlight fell on his body, pulling him out of his dark and weak past.

At the end of the memory, there is another pair of sparkling, young girl's eyes.

Xiao Chu looked at the pair of clear and familiar almond-shaped eyes and interrupted Lu Erya coldly, "Who do you think is here?"

"The head of the Beijing Supervisory Council, a senior researcher at the research institute, and the eldest son of the Ning Empire... Under the noses of these three men, the entire Tu Lu clan—"

Xiao Chu sneered, "Who do you think you are?"

"If you really do that, do you think you can leave Qincheng alive?!"

Lu Erya's expression suddenly froze.

She raised her head and looked at Xiao Chu in front of her in disbelief, but still felt that her plan was flawless. "But Fifth Brother, they were not prepared... and I have already made preparations at the Lu family..."

Xiao Chu's eyes flashed with sarcasm, and he said calmly, "If you really don't want to do it, then do it yourself."

"But I remind you."

"I will not participate in today's plan, and I will not help you with the bottom line."

"Success or not...it all depends on you."

Lu Erya's expression froze slightly.

She came to Xiao Chu hoping that he could help her kill Lu Wensheng.

But I didn't expect to be rejected.

Xiao Chu doesn't want to help her?

This thought flashed through Lu Erya's mind.

She bit her lip in hatred, a trace of resentment flashed in her drooping eyes, and she turned and left quietly.

Xiao Chu didn't look back, but looked at Lu Qingtang through the glass, with a gentle smile on the corner of his lips.

He still likes... the way she is free, innocent, and yearning for love.

-

In the Lu family's hall.

Seeing Lu Qingtang suddenly take out her computer at this critical moment, and her snow-white fingers quickly typed code on the keyboard, everyone at the scene was stunned.

Several people were quick-witted and guessed what Lu Qingtang had just said in an instant.

Lu Xiuyuan raised his hand, and in an instant, the people who were secretly guarding the Lu family mansion immediately scattered.

Si Yan made a phone call. The moment he put down the phone, he looked up at Lu Qingtang with a complicated look in his eyes.

Zhu Nanyan had already connected to the signal of the "Starry Sky Tree" as soon as possible.

At this moment, the entire Qincheng entered a level one alert state.

Ning Yan stood beside Lu Qingtang, looking at the girl's lively eyes, his eyes full of admiration and encouragement.

When Yu Yingji saw Lu Qingtang's actions, she remembered what she had just said to the void, asking the other party to hand over "evidence of the Yu family's cooperation with him", and her expression changed slightly.

Could it be that that person just had a face-to-face encounter with Lu Youyou?!

This is impossible……

Who is the other party? !

Even though Lu Youyou's "main personality" is a super genius, how long has her "secondary personality" been around?!

How could it possibly be worth it for the other party to personally show up and compete with her in technology?!

Yu Yingji comforted herself, but looking at Lu Qingtang's actions, a trace of uneasiness still appeared in her heart.

She took a step forward, looked at Lu Qingtang, and sneered, "Miss Lu, now that the evidence is conclusive, shouldn't you and Young Master Ning give this Miss Lu an explanation?!"

Lu Qingtang didn't even look at her.

Her eyes were now filled with the computer in front of her. Strings of mysterious red codes flowed out from her fingertips. Lu Qingtang's clear almond-shaped eyes became more focused than ever before.

Ning Yan took out an apple-flavored lollipop from his pocket, tore open the bag, and fed it to Lu Qingtang.

Lu Qingtang subconsciously put it into his mouth.

The sweet fruity scent relaxed her excited nerves for a moment. Lu Qingtang squinted her eyes comfortably and her fingertips moved faster.

Yu Yingji was so shocked that her eyes suddenly turned cold. She opened her mouth to speak, but Ning Yan suddenly turned around and gave her a cold glance, "Shut up!"

Yu Yingji felt a sudden chill down her spine.
