From Runaway Bride to Global Queen-Chapter 160 - Lu Yanchuan Gets Injured
Chapter 160 -160 Lu Yanchuan Gets Injured
Combat was imminent, and under the horrified gaze of Lu Ming, a group of black-clothed, masked individuals suddenly charged out, beating the workers below without a word of explanation.
The workers had no power to fight back and were all herded into two containers and locked up.
The black-clothed figures swiftly took control of the harbor; Lu Ming had been so terrified by the sudden incident that he crouched on the spot, not daring to move an inch, even keeping his head down, shivering and huddled in a corner.
Although he had committed many illegal deeds, a scene like one from a movie with bad elements in action was something he, as a pampered young master, couldn’t bear.

It seemed the black-clothed individuals had no intention of hurting anyone. After carefully inspecting the goods, the leader made a hand gesture, and like the tide receding, the black-clothed figures withdrew back into the darkness.
Just as the leading black-clothed figure was about to retreat, suddenly a red dot appeared on his forehead.
“Sniper! There’s a sniper! Be careful, boss!”
A voice screamed, and instantly that black-clothed leader dropped his silhouette low to the ground and rolled behind two nearby containers.
“Can you pinpoint their location?”
“We can’t determine the sniper’s exact position; they’re on the cargo ship, probably sent by Dirk Group to escort!”
Lu Yanchuan glanced at the graze on his arm, completely disregarding the superficial wound, remembering the direction from which the bullets had come, he fired two shots with his backhand.
Whether he hit anyone or not, at least he was able to cover his move to a safe area.
“Have the police been notified?”
“They’ve been called; they’ll be here in three minutes.”
Yan Xiyu noticed the injury on Lu Yanchuan’s arm and was about to request emergency treatment for him, but Lu Yanchuan gestured with his hand to stop them.
“Tell the men below to start retreating in batches in an orderly manner, making sure not to draw the police’s attention.”
Although he had a gun permit, not everyone among them did, and these people, used to being lawless abroad, always struggled to control themselves after returning to the country. This had to change.
After issuing the order, Lu Yanchuan started searching through the shadows for Lu Ming.
Although Old Mr. Lu had ordered him to go easy on Lu Ming, this time it wasn’t that he wasn’t giving Lu Ming a way out; it was Lu Ming who was courting death, and the blame couldn’t be laid on him.
As the distant sound of police sirens approached, Lu Yanchuan quietly slipped away from the harbor.
“With such a simple operation, you got injured. It seems married men really are different.”
Yan Xiyu mocked emotionlessly, while Lu Yanchuan couldn’t be bothered with him; all he had on his mind was the headache of how to explain his injuries to Qiao Yi when he got back.
Not one to be ignored, Yan Xiyu couldn’t stand the solitude; he, a proper young master, was relegated to being a runner, and yet Lu Yanchuan, that damn man, still treated him this way!
Utterly inhumane!
These words, Yan Xiyu dared only to complain about in his mind; if he voiced them out loud, Lu Yanchuan would definitely show him the meaning of inhumanity.
After a two-hour drive, Lu Yanchuan arrived back at Emperor Garden before ten o’clock, somewhat later than usual but not excessively so.
Before returning, Lu Yanchuan hesitated for a moment then found a railing pole and rubbed against it before heading back.
Qiao Yi had come home early today, waiting a long time with no signs of Lu Yanchuan. When she called, he didn’t answer, so she guessed he might be working overtime at the company. Without calling again, she went to the study room to review the new documents on hand.
Hearing noise from downstairs, Qiao Yi knew Lu Yanchuan had come back. Stepping out of the study and seeing Lu Yanchuan in such a disheveled state, she was shocked stiff.
“What happened to you? Ah! Why is your arm injured!”
Qiao Yi cried out in alarm and ran down the stairs, pulling Lu Yanchuan to sit on the sofa. She wanted to touch the wound on Lu Yanchuan’s arm but didn’t dare to.
“It’s nothing, just a scrape from a car that lost control on my way back. It’s just a superficial injury, not important.”
Lu Yanchuan had already thought up an excuse on the road, and in front of Qiao Yi, he could lie without blinking an eye.
“How can a car just lose control like that! That’s so irresponsible!”
Qiao Yi muttered as she found the first aid kit in the house and carefully started dressing Lu Yanchuan’s wounds.
Watching Qiao Yi, whose eyes were filled with urgency, Lu Yanchuan suddenly felt a calmness settle over him. Just looking at her eyes gave him a sense of peace.
Could this be the feeling of home?
When Lu Yanchuan was very young, his mother passed away, and Old Mr. Lu wasn’t as good-tempered back then as he is now, especially towards Lu Yanchuan, demanding strictness. This kind of warm family atmosphere was something he had never experienced before.
After Qiao Yi finished treating the wound on Lu Yanchuan’s arm, she looked up to find him staring at her intently.
“Is there something on my face? Why are you looking at me like that?”
Qiao Yi touched her face and tilted her head, puzzled.
This movement struck Lu Yanchuan’s heart, even causing a ticklish feeling in his nose.
Qiao Yi felt a bit shy under his gaze and busied herself with tidying up the medical kit to cover up her embarrassment. When she came back and saw Lu Yanchuan’s dirty and disheveled clothes, she immediately forgot the slight awkwardness just now.
“The dignified Mr. Lu has now become Mr. Stinky. Go change your clothes quickly, and take off the ones you’re wearing now. Remember not to get your wound wet when you wash up later!”
Qiao Yi’s nagging didn’t irritate Lu Yanchuan at all; on the contrary, he quite enjoyed the feeling of caring and even relished it.
After being pushed into the bathroom, Lu Yanchuan finally snapped out of the warmth bestowed by Qiao Yi’s care.
The matter of the injury was glossed over by Lu Yanchuan, but Qiao Yi was bound to remind him to be more careful in walking and driving in the future.
The next day after Qiao Yi went to the company, she received news of her promotion.
Although Qiao Yi’s promotion was indeed fast, the amount of work she had put into the cooperation between Qiao Family and Lu Group was evident to everyone, particularly those in her team, who felt that the reward was well-deserved.
Where there’s liking, there will be disliking; where there’s happiness, there will be the unhappy.
The office was in an uproar, with all sorts of talk, but as for these rumors, Qiao Yi always chose to ignore them.
After all, with integrity, one does not fear the crooked shadow, and more often than not, Qiao Yi preferred to believe that the innocent would prove themselves clear.
But this time, it was not an occasion for her to prove her innocence, as someone had leaked her identity within the company!
“I knew it! How could she achieve such great feats as soon as she arrived! The kind of fluke that Dianrui got was also stomped on by her!”
“And the relationship with the Lu Group cooperation! That’s the benefit her husband gave her!”
“Exactly! Turns out she is a rich family’s daughter and a lady of high society! She’s not someone ordinary folks like us can compare with!”
