“You won’t!” Gu Ci held her hand, pressing it against a scarf, and went to examine another injured person lying there, already dead on the spot. Many men and women with professional first aid skills like her automatically joined the rescue team.

Chen Fei took Zhou Jinjin to Gu Ziyu’s side. He had first-aid skills, but he couldn’t leave Gu Ziyu. Gu Ziyu glanced at the scene of devastation on the street after the terrorist attack. The casualties were everywhere, and blood flowed like a river.

“Chen Fei, go and help with the rescue. I can take care of myself.”

Chen Fei glanced at him and said, “Alright!”

He quickly ran to join the rescue efforts while Gu Ci moved among the injured. For those she could save, she desperately provided first aid. For those beyond help, she helped them make a final phone call to their families, offering them comfort in their final moments.

But there were too many casualties, and in the darkness of night, a shadow fell over Gu Ci’s face. It was too cruel!

Zhou Jinjin, still in shock, held Gu Ziyu’s hand and looked at Chen Fei and Gu Ci amidst the smoke. Suddenly, she felt like they emitted a kind of light, powerful and safe.

Gu Ci was covered in sweat, her hands and clothes stained with blood, but she continued to save everyone she could, regardless of nationality or skin color; every life mattered to her.

It wasn’t until ambulances and police cars arrived to take over the scene that Gu Ci saw the bloodstains, debris, and wreckage on the ground. Her gaze was dark and pained, and the injured were in agony. They had survived the ordeal, but they had also lost their comrades.

Similar events had occurred frequently in Europe, but in the news, the number of injured and dead was just a cold set of statistics, lacking the direct impact of what they had just experienced.

“Chen Fei, are you injured?” Zhou Jinjin pointed to the blood on Chen Fei’s arm, anxious to check.

Chen Fei had a minor scratch from shrapnel, but he didn’t pay much attention to it. “I’m fine.”

He spoke with a heavy tone, not knowing what to say to mourn this scene.

Fortunately, they reacted quickly and left early. At the moment of the explosion, they all lay flat on the ground. Apart from minor scrapes and bruises, they were all okay.

“Let’s leave this place first!” Someone had taken charge of the scene, and Gu Ci led them away, back to the hotel.

The hotel was very close to the scene of the incident, and there were a bunch of people taking refuge in the hotel. When they returned, the hotel staff inquired about their injuries and offered to contact a hospital, but both Gu Ci and Chen Fei declined, only wanting to go upstairs and rest.

Gu Ci, covered in bloodstains and the smell of smoke, followed Chen Fei. “I’ll help him with his injuries.”

“Alright!” Gu Ci washed her hands, changed into clean clothes, and discarded her bloodied clothing in the trash. She took a quick hot shower to wash away the dust and bloodstains.

This was a major incident, and it couldn’t be ignored. It happened at a Chinese restaurant near the racetrack, where people from all over the world had gathered to watch the racing event. This time, half of the casualties were Chinese, and it quickly became a hot topic in China.

The next few days were filled with races, and the terrorist attack had cast a heavy shadow over everyone’s mood.

Outside, Li Jiang called to inquire about Gu Ziyu’s condition. “Young Master, thank goodness you weren’t at the scene. Miss Gu Ci is back at the hotel, right?”

“We were at the scene!”

“What?” Li Jiang was shocked. He was about to ask more questions when Gu Ziyu said, “Both my mom and I are fine. We’re back at the hotel. I’ll hang up.”

Gu Ci came out, drying her hair. Her mood had calmed down. “Whose call was that?”

“It was Li Jiang,” Gu Ziyu said, putting down his phone.

“Can you help me with the first aid? It’s just a minor scratch!” Gu Ci smiled gently, rolling up her sleeve to reveal a small abrasion on her arm. It had already stopped bleeding, but Gu Ziyu meticulously disinfected and bandaged it.

Gu Ci affectionately touched her son’s head. “My dear, you’re so well-behaved!”

“Mom, were they targeting us?” Gu Ziyu suddenly asked.

Gu Ci was taken aback and replied softly, “Ziyu, this was an unexpected event. No one could have predicted it.”

Gu Ci recalled the scene in the midst of the smoke and gunfire. She seemed to have caught a glimpse of Lu Zhiyuan, obscured by a thin mist. Before she could get a clear view, he disappeared again.

In a private villa, Lu Zhiyuan and Pei Qiuying were discussing cooperation. Pei Qiuying’s face was extremely pale tonight, but she dared not show any emotions in front of Lu Zhiyuan.

Pei Qiuying poured him a glass of wine. “Third Master, let’s drink and talk.”

Lu Zhiyuan had no interest in drinking, and he didn’t touch the wine glass. Suddenly, his heart tightened. He got up and left for the bathroom, closing the door behind him. Pei Qiuying didn’t mind.

Pei Qiuying sipped her wine, gently swirling the glass, savoring the aroma of the alcohol.

“Third Master, if Gu Ci were to die, would you be sad?”

In the quiet living room, there was no response. After finishing her glass of wine and still not seeing Lu Zhiyuan return, Pei Qiuying glanced at the time. He had been gone for ten minutes. Just as she was about to send someone to look for him, her phone rang.

She answered the call, her expression slightly darkening. “I understand.”

As soon as she hung up the phone, Lu Zhiyuan returned, his face so dark it could almost drip water. Pei Qiuying greeted him with a smile. “I’ve instructed the kitchen to prepare your favorite…”

Lu Zhiyuan grabbed her throat, and with just a little force, he could have snapped her neck. “Pei Qiuying, do you really think I wouldn’t dare to kill you?” Though Pei Qiuying was being choked, her life was in his hands. She chuckled and said, “Third Master, I… What have I done wrong? Even if I die, 1 want to die understanding.”

“Tonight’s terrorist attack, every life lost is blood on your hands!” Lu Zhiyuan’s voice was icy, and his gaze was terrifyingly cold. “Because of your jealousy, your complete disregard for human life, countless people have died because of you. You are truly heartless!”

“Third Master, there must be some misunderstanding. I’ve been discussing business with you all along.” Pei Qiuying’s eyes welled up with tears. In the eyes of outsiders, she was a powerful and arrogant mafia boss, but in front of Lu Zhiyuan, she was like a helpless and pitiful woman.

“You don’t need to take action.” Lu Zhiyuan pushed her away, and Pei Qiuying fell to the ground, hitting her head on the table and causing it to bleed. She touched her forehead and felt the blood. Lu Zhiyuan said, “You’ve raised a bunch of lawless thugs.”

Lu Zhiyuan turned and walked away, and Pei Qiuying crawled over, clinging to his leg. “Third Master, do you no longer want me for the sake of Gu Ci? I’ve always been obedient. Please don’t leave me.”

He lowered his head and looked at Pei Qiuying. She had always looked up to him with admiration, but there was a thin layer of frost in Lu Zhiyuan’s eyes as he gazed down at her. “Gu Ci and 1 grew up together, and she’s the love of my life. I’ve warned you before not to touch her. Did you take my warning lightly?”

Pei Qiuying, with tear-filled eyes, smiled and asked him, “Lu Zhiyuan loves her dearly, but what about you, Third Master? Do you like her?”

“Who 1 like is none of your concern!” Lu Zhiyuan stated firmly. “And it will never be you!”

“That’s impossible!”
