When Jian Jin was feeling uneasy, Lu Zhi came over escorted by bodyguards.

When the men surrounding Jian Jin and others saw him, they all moved out of the way.

Lu Zhi glanced at Jian Jin in the crowd who was pointing a gun at him to intimidate others, pursed his lips and said, "When did you become so childish?"

Jian Jin stood on the opposite side of him, holding back her bitterness and said, "Boss, I'm serious."

"Are you risking your life for me?" Lu Zhi seemed a little angry, with sparks hidden in his eyes, but his thoughts were not visible on his face.

"Yeah." Jian Jin admitted frankly.

Lu Zhi's eyes were dark, he took a deep breath and said calmly, "What if I don't let him go? You really know how to shoot."

Jian Jin said: "QIAO is inside and I can't put her in danger, so you can try."

Lu Zhi grasped the armrest with strength and looked at her patiently: "In your eyes, will I hurt her?"

"I didn't think you knew it before, but now I don't know either."

Jian Jin's words were like a knife stabbing into Lu Zhi's heart. After a moment of paralysis, he didn't believe that Jian Jin would say such words.

He thought that only Jian Jin understood what he was thinking all these years, but he didn't expect that even Jian Jin would say the same thing now, and would even use a gun to force him to let him go.

Lu Zhi paused: "I won't hurt her."

Jian Jin didn't answer directly. She half-pulled the trigger and said aggressively: "I can't gamble with Qiao. I can't afford the gamble, so I want you to let him go."

Lu Zhi saw that she had pulled the trigger halfway. If she applied just a little more force, Jian Jin would bleed in front of him.

His pupils narrowed an inch, and just as he was about to speak, the cell phone he carried rang.

Lu Zhi picked up the phone and answered it: "Hello."

The other end didn't know what to say. Everyone saw that his expression became more and more solemn, and the air around him became more and more solid and calm.

When the atmosphere reached its peak, Lu Zhi held the phone tightly and whispered, "I didn't expect you to stab me in the back."

The archbishop on the other end did not hesitate to give it back to him: "We didn't expect that Mr. Lu would not stop even though he knew the queen was in danger. So each other!"

The darkness in Lu Zhi's eyes was thick and could not be cleared away. He lowered the corner of his mouth, and his eyes fell on Jian Jin who was restless not far away. Finally, he relented and said, "I will remember your kindness."

He hung up and put down the phone and then looked at Jian Jin. Without any unnecessary emotion, he said in a calm tone: "Put down the gun and I will have my people retreat immediately."

"Really?" Jian Jin hadn't let go yet, and she could tell she didn't believe him.

Lu Zhi didn't say much, turned his head and ordered the bodyguard: "Tell our people to withdraw!"

"Mr. Lu?" The bodyguard was extremely surprised. He looked at him and then at Jian Jin, wondering whether Lu Zhilai was serious or a feint.

Lu Zhi, however, was very calm and calm: "Let them withdraw!"

After he finished speaking, he turned back to look at Jian Jin: "Put down the gun. This will never happen again."

Jian Jin's eyes heated up for a moment, and she couldn't express her inner emotions. She just felt countless sour bubbles rushing out.

She understood that the reason why Lu Zhi was willing to withdraw was because of the strange phone call just now, and part of her own reasons, even though she may only account for a small part of the reason. It was not even for love, but years of friendship that forced him to give in half a step.

But it was this half-step that made her never regret her choice to stay in the illegal zone for so many years.

Jian Jin stopped forcing him, slowly put down the gun and whispered, "You should apologize to Qiao."

Lu Zhi ignored her and said to the others, "Go back."
