Chapter 64: I'm Not Taking the Blame for This
Zhang Shu was terrified.
Naturally, she knew what kind of abilities Li Hu possessed.
However, she had never expected that this bodyguard, who had followed her for over eight years, would actually strike against her.
Beside her, Wang Long's expression drastically changed, and without time to react, he could only use his body to shield Zhang Shu.
"Thump!"
The dagger plunged into Wang Long's abdomen.
Li Hu's expression changed. He hadn't expected Wang Long to react so quickly.
"Li Hu, why would you do this? Lady Zhang has always treated us well!" Wang Long tightly gripped Li Hu's hand that held the dagger, preventing Li Hu from pulling it out, and questioned loudly.
"Wang Long, you're really naive. So what if she treated us well? We are always her servants, or to put it more harshly, just her dogs."
"But I, Li Hu, don't want to be a dog, nor do I want to just watch her from afar. Wang Long, I don't believe you haven't had thoughts about this woman!"
Wang Long, of course, had thoughts about Zhang Shu.
Though Zhang Shu was already in her thirties, she took great care of herself. Her skin was as tender as a woman in her twenties, and her figure was remarkably imposing.
As Zhang Shu's personal bodyguard who saw her graceful figure in front of him every day, how could he remain unmoved?
Moreover, Zhang Shu held a very special status, with high authority. A single word from her could decide many things.
What man wouldn't want to conquer such a woman?
But such things could only be pondered in his heart.
He was just a bodyguard and simply wasn't a match for Zhang Shu.
Even though he knew that Zhang Shu hadn't been with Guo Hong for many years,
it still wasn't his place.
Especially when he was guarding the doorway of Zhang Shu's house at night.
That time was particularly hard to endure.
Because there was always a devil in his heart urging him, telling him that he was only a door away from Zhang Shu.
Inside the house, there were only the two of them.
He could completely burst in and do as he pleased with Zhang Shu.
Afterwards, he could even use this to blackmail Zhang Shu, who, in order to not ruin her reputation, would definitely choose to endure silently.
Wang Long had indeed harbored such thoughts in his mind.
But after all, he was a person grateful for favors received, and no matter how many thoughts he had, they could only be buried in his heart.
"Wang Long, as long as you don't stop me, in consideration of our brotherhood, I'll give you a million once this is done. If you try to stop me, you will surely die!" Li Hu's expression was sinister.
His strength was not much different from Wang Long's, and a head-on confrontation would be indecisive.
But now that Wang Long had been stabbed by him, he was unlikely to be able to stop him anymore.
"Li Hu, who exactly sent you to kill me?" Zhang Shu calmed herself down, even if she was going to die, she wanted to die understanding.
"Lady Zhang, you're going to die anyway, what does it matter who it was?" Li Hu's heart was also in pain.
Because he also harbored love for Zhang Shu.
Even once, he secretly confessed his feelings to Zhang Shu, but she cleverly avoided the topic.
Who wouldn't like a woman like Zhang Shu?
Though she was married, in reality, it was no different from being single.
Li Hu knew that if he continued to follow Zhang Shu, he would forever be Zhang Shu's dog.
And how could a dog hope to share the bed of its master?
This time around, someone spent ten million to buy Zhang Shu's life. With this ten million, he would no longer be a dog; he could live the life of an upper-class individual.
Surrounded by women, reveling night after night.
Although he still couldn't have Zhang Shu, he could have many other women.
"Li Hu, if you want to kill me, I won't blame you, just please let Wang Long go!" Zhang Shu sighed.
She knew she couldn't escape her fate today; her closest bodyguard turning against her was unexpected and unpreventable.
She just didn't want Wang Long to die because of her.
"Sister, even if I die, I won't let him harm a single hair on you!" Wang Long said fiercely.
"Wang Long, you always listen to me the most. Listen to me this time, I'm definitely doomed today, but I hope to die by your hands. Only if you kill me personally will Li Hu let you go," Zhang Shu said calmly. Your support on M|V|L8EMPYR keeps this series going.
Throughout her journey, she had faced too many storms and survived numerous assassination attempts.
She had actually anticipated such a situation.
"Sister Zhang, you are always so clever and wise. Yes, unless Wang Long kills you personally, I will not let him go," Li Hu said.
Zhang Shu gave a bitter smile; if she were really that clever and wise, she would have dealt with Li Hu long ago.
Li Hu daring to confess to her showed that he was a man of great ambition, never content to be just her guard.
Her momentary kindness led to today's outcome.
"Li Hu, aren't you afraid of the consequences?" Wang Long asked unwillingly.
"Heh, who knows it was me, Li Hu, who acted? Later, I'll simply frame that young guy, saying he, out of anger and embarrassment for not being allowed to be with Yuanyuan by Sister Zhang, lost control and killed Zhang Shu, and you, for fighting with the criminal, bravely sacrificed yourself. Of course, whether it's a brave sacrifice or getting injured in the fight, depends on your choice!" Li Hu spoke coldly.
It had to be said that Li Hu was very meticulous and seized today's great opportunity.
Zhang Shu felt that she was unable to escape her fate!
"Buddy, can I say I won't take the blame for this?" However, just after Li Hu finished speaking, a mocking voice rang at the doorway.
The first time Su Chen saw Li Hu, he saw a lot in his eyes.
Admiration for Zhang Shu, angry frustration from unrequited love, and the nervousness of taking a risk.
Although Su Chen wasn't a psychologist, he had studied wartime psychology, so he could infer a lot from someone's microexpressions.
So, he didn't leave.
Fortunately, he didn't leave, otherwise, he'd be unfairly blamed.
Although discovered by Su Chen, Li Hu wasn't worried at all, his lips curling into a sinister smile.
"Kid, since you discovered it, don't blame me for being rude."
"Su Chen, run fast and be sure to tell Yuanyuan the truth. She will avenge me!" Zhang Shu shouted at Su Chen.
If Su Chen were just an ordinary person, he really should have fled.
Because both of Zhang Shu's bodyguards are Transcendents.
The Martial Artist Realm consists of many different levels.
Mortal Realm, Extraordinary Realm, Saint Realm...
The so-called Mortal Realm is the stage of ordinary people, the limit that ordinary people can reach.
The Extraordinary Realm refers to those who surpass the limits of ordinary people.
They have immense strength, quick movements; one person could handle ten ordinary people at their peak.
Even experts from special forces are just in the Extraordinary Realm.
Su Chen didn't run; if he ran, Zhang Shu would die, and he would still be blamed. Although with his abilities, he could completely prove his innocence, there was no need for such complications.
"Your name is Li Hu, right? If you surrender now, I might let you off," Su Chen said with a calm expression facing Li Hu's murderous gaze.
