Chapter 369: Chapter 369: Wife, Do You Trust Me?

Lu Jing was not unafraid, but he deeply knew that this man was pressuring Jiang Ye.

As soon as Jiang Ye showed his head, he would not hesitate to pull the trigger.

So how could Lu Jing possibly stand for it?

"One...""

Just as Ather was about to speak again.

Lu Jing moved.

He used all his strength to slam into the person behind him.

And frankly, the hit was quite accurate.

Ather had to release his grip on Lu Jing due to the pain he was forced to endure.

Of course, Lu Jing was not foolish and immediately dodged to the side.

Sure enough, the next second he heard the sound of a bullet entering a chest, followed by Ather’s muffled grunt.

Then came the sound of a heavy object—’thump’—hitting the ground.

The entire process was over in the blink of an eye.

The once arrogant Ather was now breathless, nothing more than a warm corpse.

Bright red blood continued to gush out from his chest, his eyes wide open, dying with reluctance!

Lu Jing’s breathing rhythm became uncontrollably chaotic, and cold sweat covered his forehead.

At that time, Lao Bai emerged from the bushes, tilted his head and smiled, then shook the weapon in his hand before taking out a communicator:

"All clear, come in."

Soon, the special police forces surged in and began searching around.

As for Jiang Ye, he had already left the ambush point.

At this moment, he stood under the unfinished building, looked up for a few times, and then climbed straight up with a leap.

The height of two floors was not a problem for any firefighter, let alone Jiang Ye.

It took him less than two seconds to get up there.

But just as he was about to move forward.

Suddenly, the woman shouted:

"Don’t come over!"

?

Jiang Ye immediately halted, somewhat bewildered:

"Wife, what’s wrong?"

His peripheral vision still caught a glimpse of the dead body that could no longer be deader.

Yes, that shot had been fired by Jiang Ye, a shot that hit a vital spot!

Lu Jing forced a stiff smile to his lips:

"Jiang Ye, stand there and don’t move."

Was Jiang Ye stupid?

Impossible!

He instantly understood:

"Wife, don’t be afraid, I’ll handle this."

He tried to keep his voice steady and calm, then carefully stepped closer to where Lu Jing was.

Once closer, he saw the timed bomb strapped to the woman’s lower back, with the countdown already started, now less than a minute remaining.

Lu Jing shook her head repeatedly, tears streaming down her face:

"No, don’t come here, just go!"

If it came to dying, then she would rather die alone!

But how could Jiang Ye possibly just leave?

If it really came to that point, to die together, that would be regret-free.

Seeing him approaching, Lu Jing became increasingly frantic:

"Jiang Ye, I told you to go! Don’t come over, okay?"

The closer he walked, the more piercing the ticking sound became.

His heartbeat also became uncontrollable.

"Jiang Ye!" Lu Jing shouted again.

At that moment, Jiang Ye finally spoke:

"Wife, don’t move."

He took a large step forward, then squatted behind her, carefully scrutinizing a few wires on the device.

Lu Jing dared not move or even speak, holding her breath as if she were suffocating.

Tears welled up more and more in the corners of her eyes, feeling unstoppable.

And Jiang Ye, after observing for a few seconds, had a plan.

"Wife, do you trust me?"

If the situation permitted, Lu Jing really wanted to give him a few disdainful looks:

"Do you think it makes a difference whether I trust you now or not?"
