“You’re awake, but that’s okay.” Seeing Lu Ning open her eyes, the man suddenly slowed down.

He stopped two steps away from Lu Ning, and the next second he took off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of narrow eyebrows and eyes underneath the sunglasses.

Judging from his eyes, the man was no more than forty years old. He had a gloomy look and gave people a calculating feeling.

Lu Ning sat on a chair with her hands tied behind her back. She raised her head slightly and glanced across the man's face, with a hint of disappointment in her eyes.

"What are you looking at?" The man noticed the change in Lu Ning's eyes and his tone immediately changed.

It was the first time that he was stared at in this way, and the change in Lu Ning's expression was blatant contempt.

How could she, a kidnapped hostage, have the right to look at herself like that!

The man took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm.

Lu Ning yawned. She had waited for a long time. She thought it would take no more than half an hour, but she didn't expect to wait until now.

This suggests that the man probably didn't live nearby, or he was doing something somewhere else at the time.

In terms of time, the distance between the other party's location and here is probably not much different from the distance between Ningcheng First Hospital and here.

"System, this person is really not mentioned in the original book?"

It stands to reason that a character like this who left so many clues would not be mentioned at all in the original book. Moreover, Cheng Feng also said that the other party had appeared with He Xiran. How could there be no information at all about someone around the heroine?

[Sorry host, the system has not found any clues about this person. Or the host can try to ask the other person's name, maybe the system can automatically retrieve it? ]

Lu Ning: "What use do I have for you?"

[Host, don't be angry. The system is still growing with you. 】

Lu Ningxin said that the system's companionship was just to give her those messy tasks, and it couldn't provide any help at the critical moment, and it didn't even give her a novice gift pack!

"What's with that expression on your face? Are you cursing me in your heart?" The man observed Lu Ning's reaction, and his emotions, which had originally calmed down, were ignited again.

He tried hard to control his breathing and keep himself calm.

He tried every means to capture Lu Ning not to be angry with her, but because he had important things to do.

Lu Ning didn't expect that the other party could tell that she was cursing in her heart just by looking at her expression, but after thinking about it, Lu Ning figured out something.

She looked at the man opposite her and said, "You are the one who hypnotized Lu Qing."

Lu Ning spoke, her tone containing no doubt but certainty.

The person in front of him obviously understood psychology. He could easily see Lu Ning's micro-expressions, but he himself had a rather bad temper. Such a person fits the personality profile of the person who hypnotized Lu Qing by instilling ideas into him.

"You know a lot. Unfortunately, I had planned to spare your life, but now it seems that I can't." The man walked closer.

He originally just wanted to use Lu Ning to threaten the Lu family. As long as the Lu family was brought down, he could reluctantly let Lu Ning go. Of course, he let her go not out of kindness, but because he didn't want to confront the Xie family yet.

However, Lu Ning obviously knew more than he imagined. If such a person was let go, he would only become a threat to him.

As he thought about it, the man slowly took out a cold blade that was glowing with cold light from his arms.

The blade was pointed at Lu Ning, and there was also a chill in the man's eyes.

"Are you planning to kill me now? But your purpose is simply to tie me up here and then kill me?" Lu Ning looked at the approaching blade and suddenly laughed.

"What do you know? You're just a bargaining chip in my hand. Even if you die, I can still carry out my plan." The man sneered, but his hands did not hesitate at all.

Lu Ning was already certain that the person who wanted to deal with the Lu family was the person in front of him.

Including the previous incident with Cheng Qian, it should have been the other party who was secretly planning it.

Seeing the blade already against his neck, Lu Ning knew he couldn't wait any longer.

But before she could move, the bedroom door was kicked open.

The next second, Cheng Feng rushed in. She saw the man holding a knife against Lu Ning, and immediately shouted and rushed forward.

The man obviously didn't expect Cheng Feng to suddenly come back in, so he had no choice but to let go of Lu Ning temporarily and said to Cheng Feng, who was full of anger: "Xiao Feng, don't worry, I just want to scare her, I don't plan to really do anything."

As he spoke, the man sheathed the blade in his hand.

Cheng Feng stared at the man and gritted his teeth, "You said you were just helping Xi Ran vent her anger. If you kill her, then wouldn't I be an accomplice?"

There was a hint of surprise in the man's eyes. He thought Cheng Feng was just a useful tool, but he never expected that the tool suddenly had a brain.

"Don't worry, Xiao Feng. You are Xiran's friend. I won't harm you. So, please go out first. I have something to say to her." The man said and was about to ask Cheng Feng to leave.

Before turning around, Cheng Feng glanced at Lu Ning who was sitting on the chair. After receiving the other party's eye signal, he walked out without looking back.

The bedroom door was closed again, and this time the man locked it.

He walked back to Lu Ning, lowered his head and smiled, "No one can save you now. Remember, this is all owed to me by your Lu family. If it weren't for Lu Yunqi and Li Xiao, I wouldn't be living in hiding all day long."

Perhaps he finally got excited, the man stopped moving his hands suddenly, and stared at Lu Ning, trying to see an expression of fear and terror on her face.

However, to his disappointment, Lu Ning was staring at him expressionlessly, and even smiled contemptuously the moment he looked over.

Even when death was imminent, she still dared to mock herself!

The man struggled, and this time he was really angry.

He held the knife and stabbed it straight at Lu Ning's neck.

There was a soft sound, followed by a scream.

Lu Ning stood up from the chair, put one foot on the man's stomach, and reached out to tear off the hat and mask on his head.

The next second, a familiar face appeared in front of Lu Ning.

"Doctor He?" Lu Ning glanced at him coldly and found that the other person was He Suoyi, who had been responsible for Lu Qing's treatment in the hospital before.

He Suoyi's face turned pale and he let out bursts of roars from his throat.

Not only did his knife fail to hurt Lu Ning, but it also cut his own arm.

Dark red flowed down the wound on his arm and in a moment had dyed his clothes red.

He Suoyi tried to break free, but unfortunately Lu Ning didn't give him any chance.

"You two... have colluded with each other..." The moment he saw Lu Ning stand up, He Suoyi thought that Lu Ning must have teamed up with Cheng Feng.

Otherwise, why could the rope on Lu Ning's hand be untied so easily.

This also explains why Cheng Feng was able to accomplish something by himself that he had previously managed to accomplish with a group of people.
