Seeing Lu Ming's cold demeanor, Han Yun knew he was still holding a grudge over their previous encounter.
"A life is at stake, Lu Ming, you can't just stand by and watch him die! No matter how much animosity we have, we can discuss it and resolve it later. But my husband is dying now, and you can save him, yet you're just watching like it's a show? You can't be this heartless. What you're doing is wrong!"
Oh, so now she's lecturing him?
Lu Ming snorted coldly and retorted, "A life is at stake, is it? Then back at the funeral, when Su Jianxiong arranged for several thugs to attack my fiancée, did he not consider that a life was at stake? Why didn't you stop him then? Why didn't you stand up and righteously point out Su Jianxiong's mistake? What, you accept things that are beneficial to you, but reject what's not? That's not how the world works!"
The moment Su Jianxiong attempted to harm Jiang Mengxin, he had stepped onto the 'arena of life and death' with Lu Ming. Only one of them could walk away alive.
Lu Ming, though kind,
never showed mercy to his sworn enemies.
Mercy towards an enemy was cruelty to oneself.
Just imagine, if the roles were reversed, and Su Wanran was deeply poisoned, with only Han Yun capable of saving her. Would Han Yun help?
The answer was obvious.
Han Yun would watch Su Wanran die with a clear conscience, perhaps even mock her a few times.
In that case, why should Lu Ming save Su Jianxiong?
At this point, Su Wanran had also come to understand the situation. She stood silently by the side, leaving everything to Lu Ming's discretion. If he wanted to save him, he would; if not, she wouldn't try to persuade him.
All Su Wanran could do was refrain from adding insult to injury.
As for offering help, well, that was asking too much.
After all, Su Jianxiong was a staunch supporter of Su Feiyang and had repeatedly tried to kill Su Wanran. Could they guarantee that the airport bombing wasn't orchestrated by Su Jianxiong?
It was hard to say!
Since Su Jianxiong had sought Su Wanran's life,
why should Su Wanran save Su Jianxiong? There was no reason, no logic, it made no sense!
Han Yun saw the thoughts of Lu Ming and Su Wanran. She glared at them hatefully, her teeth grinding, but with Su Jianxiong on the brink of death, she had to humble herself.
"Lu Ming," she said, "if you save my husband, I promise you I will withdraw from the competition for the family head and will not assist Su Feiyang."
This was the most she could offer.
However.
Lu Ming coldly replied, "This isn't about the family head dispute. This is punishment for the blasphemy against my fiancée! As for whether you stand with Su Feiyang or not, I don't care. Even if you give your all to help Su Feiyang, so what? In my eyes, you're just a few more dogs that bite, what is there to fear?"
These words were too arrogant.
Arrogant beyond measure.
In Lu Ming's eyes, Han Yun, Su Jianxiong, and even the Sleeping Dragon of Fog City, Han Shichong, were merely dogs that bite?
Finally, Han Yun could take it no longer. She pointed at Lu Ming and roared, "If you don't cure my husband today, then in the future, I will tear you and Jiang Mengxin to pieces! Don't forget, my brother is the Sleeping Dragon of Fog City!"
Hearing the words 'Sleeping Dragon of Fog City', Su Wanran and Sun Yao both shivered involuntarily.
They were not to be trifled with.
But Lu Ming showed no fear. Upon hearing 'Sleeping Dragon of Fog City', instead of being intimidated, he provocatively said, "Alright, let me see how capable Han Shichong is."
As he spoke, Su Jianxiong began to convulse violently. His face turned ashen from excessive blood loss.
Terrifying, dreadful.
"Husband!"
Han Yun rushed to check on Su Jianxiong and continued to apply acupuncture.
Unfortunately, it was useless. Su Jianxiong was too deeply poisoned, the toxin having spread throughout his entire vascular system, reaching his brain and heart.
Suddenly, Su Jianxiong's body turned from white to purple. His skin became like a toad's, covered in small bumps that grew larger and larger until they burst like deflated balloons, "pop, pop, pop."
From the bursting bumps, a purplish-blue liquid splattered out.
"Ugh~~"
After a violent spasm, Su Jianxiong stopped moving. His body grew cold, and he was completely dead.
"My husband!" Han Yun hugged Su Jianxiong's corpse and wailed.
Seeing this, Su Wanran's emotions were complex.
As a relative, she should have been sad, but given Su Jianxiong's constant harm towards her, she felt no grief or sorrow. Instead, there was a hint of secret pleasure.
Finally, an enemy was eliminated!
At the same time, Su Wanran was also somewhat afraid.
Su Jianxiong's death would undoubtedly drive Han Yun to even more frenzied revenge against her. After all, Han Yun's brother was the Sleeping Dragon of Fog City, Han Shichong, the underground emperor of Fog City, and difficult to deal with.
Han Shichong could crush Su Wanran with a mere flick of his finger.
Her future path would be difficult.
After crying for a while, Han Yun had her subordinates carry away Su Jianxiong's corpse. Before leaving, she didn't say a word, but her gaze swept over Lu Ming and Su Wanran with chilling intensity.
The hatred in her eyes was extremely strong.
After Han Yun and her entourage left, Lu Ming patted Sun Yao's shoulder and said, "Mr. Sun, pack up and come with me."
Sun Yao looked at Lu Ming in confusion and asked, "Aren't you scared at all? Han Yun is the Sleeping Dragon's sister. Offending her means offending the Sleeping Dragon, and he will surely try to destroy you from all sides."
Lu Ming smiled, "Sleeping Dragon? Heh, let him come. We'll see who kills whom."
Sun Yao gave him a thumbs-up, "Alright, I'm completely convinced. A bet is a bet. Since I lost, I'll go with you and help you research the Water Wave Cherry. But on one condition: you must guarantee my safety. If Han Shichong really comes after you, I don't want to be dragged into it. If I feel my life is in danger, I'll run, and I won't care about your fate."
He was certainly direct.
But it was good this way, stating things clearly upfront to avoid future disputes.
Lu Ming assured him, "Don't worry, I won't let you face any danger. If you feel unsafe, I permit you to run at any time."
"It's a deal!" Sun Yao was satisfied with this promise.
Only Su Wanran.
She gazed into the distance, her eyes filled with endless worry. Although they had secured Mr. Sun's help today, they had completely offended Han Yun. How would they navigate the future?
Sigh, it would be difficult!
After thinking for a moment, Su Wanran sighed and said, "There's no use worrying too much. Forget it, being able to invite Mr. Sun out today is a great occasion. Let's go, it's my treat, we'll have a good meal."
Sun Yao was pleased and quickly asked, "Where are we eating?"
Su Wanran replied, "For Mr. Sun, we can't possibly go to a mediocre place. Let's go to Fog City's number one hot pot restaurant – Jing Xuan!"
