When Luo Ying rushed to the sanatorium, it was dark. Only the top floor was lit up, and even then, they were flickering.
Lu Zhao’s car was parked outside the sanatorium. It looked like the perfect setting for a horror story.
Luo Ying did not hesitate and walked towards the sanatorium.
Jin Shi pulled Luo Ying back. “Are you really going to save Lu Zhao?”
Luo Ying did not quite understand her brother. It was obvious that Lu Zhao was in danger. Of course, she could not give up on Lu Zhao just like that.
“According to my understanding of Old Master Lu over the years, he’s not that easy to fool. There’s no need for us to go to war with such a man,” Jin Shi said in a deep voice.
Luo Ying widened her eyes and looked at her brother in disbelief. “Third
Brother, what do you mean?”
“I don’t want to see you get hurt, nor do I want to see you suffer for someone who isn’t real.” Jin Shi knew what Old Master Lu was like.
He believed that today’s scheme had been targeted at Luo Ying.
After all, Old Master Lu only wanted to control Lu Zhao.
The best way for him to do that was to destroy Luo Ying, the love of his life.
Luo Ying looked at Jin Shi and shook her head. “Brother, I’ve already made it very clear. I really love Lu Zhao. I won’t let him step into the trap.” Luo Ying let go of Jin Shi’s hand and walked toward the dark sanatorium.
Jin Shi gritted his teeth and took out a big box from the car.
“Luo Ying, catch.” He threw a gun to Luo Ying.
Luo Ying turned around and caught the gun. She smiled at Jin Shi. “Thank you, Third Brother.”
Jin Shi also took two rifles and bullets for himself and walked into the sanatorium.
The moment they went through the doors, the air was filled with dust and the heavy stench of blood. Luo Ying’s heart skipped a beat.
Was Lu Zhao inside?
Jin Shi followed Luo Ying inside. “Do you know where Lu Zhao went?”
“It should be a room underground. Old Master Lu told him that his mother is there,” Luo Ying said.
Jin Shi nodded. He stood behind Luo Ying and looked around with his gun.
Although this was a sanatorium, there didn’t seem to be any real patients. All the rooms were empty, and the facilities of the sanatorium had been placed in storage. Plastic sheets covered them. It was eerie.
Was this sanatorium a cover?
Luo Ying looked at the empty room and frowned.
“This is Old Master Lu’s family’s prison. The sanatorium above is just for decoration. The real focus is the secret room downstairs,” Jin Shi whispered.
The moment he transmigrated, he had done everything to learn about this world
In his youth, the old man was an absolute tyrant, compared to his mellowed-down current self. He had established this sanatorium to deal with his business competitors.
It looked like a hospital, but in fact, it was a prison where murders mysteriously took place.
The two of them walked toward the secret chamber together.
The sanatorium was very quiet. There was not even a doctor. Luo Ying could hear her own heartbeat, beating against her chest like a drumstick.
“Don’t be afraid.” Jin Shi said.
The two of them walked down the secret stairs and headed toward the secret room.
Suddenly, the sound of bullets piercing through the air could be heard in front of them. A chaotic gunfight was taking place in the dark corridor ahead. Luo Ying turned to look at Jin Shi, and the two of them stopped.
Luo Ying felt anxious.
She kept feeling that Lu Zhao was inside.
“Wait!” Jin Shi looked at the darkness in the corridor in front of him. His eyes flew wide open.
The sound of a bullet breaking through the sound barrier rushed at them. The bullet seemed to be flying toward Luo Ying.
Jin Shi wanted to push Luo Ying away, but they were no match for the speed of a bullet.
At that moment, a black shadow darted out and threw Luo Ying onto the ground. The bullet brushed past the man’s back.
The bullet tore through the man’s clothes, and a faint smell of blood wafted out.
At the same time, someone pointed a gun at Jin Shi’s head.
Jin Shi slowly turned his head to look at that person, his mouth wide open in surprise. “Xiao Ting? Why are you here?”
Luo Ying was pushed to the ground by the black shadow. She was seeing stars. After looking carefully for a long time, she recognized that the other party was Lu Zhao.
He seemed to be completely different from usual. There was a faint smell of blood on his body, and his entire being emitted a murderous aura.
“Are you alright?” He looked at Luo Ying and asked.
Luo Ying shook her head. “I’m fine.”
For some reason, she suddenly fell unconscious. The world went dark..
