Chapter 43 The undercurrent is surging
The bullet quickly shot towards Qiao Susu, and Luka, who was standing opposite with a gun in his hand, had bloodshot eyes.

In the blink of an eye, Zongfang had no time to think. He jumped forward regardless of his wounds, pounced on her, and used the inertia of his body to crush her heavily.

At the same time, Carl saw the right opportunity in another direction and decisively fired in the direction of Zongfang.

"You're fucking crazy! Who told you to shoot?"

Luka kicked the gun out of Carl's hand, grabbed him by the collar and threw him towards the door frame. Carl was hit, coughed and squinted at him.

"Why don't you shoot him and wait for him to get up and shoot you?"

When he fired the gun just now, Qiao Suisui was in Zong Fang's arms. If there was a slight deviation, she would have been hit. Luka's face was distorted, and he ran quickly to Qiao Suisui, without saying a word to Karl.

When I got closer, I found that there was a bloodstain on the floor, which was thick and dark red.

Qiao Susu was pinned down by Zong Fang. She didn't expect to be in such a situation when she came out. When she came to her senses, Zong Fang had already pounced on her. She called his name, but the person on her didn't respond at all. She moved her upper body to check on him, but when she held the floor with her hands, she felt something sticky.

"Sui Sui, Sui Sui, don't scare me, are you okay? Are you hurt?"

Luka took her out from under Zongfang and saw that her lower back was covered in blood. He was so scared that his face turned pale.

"It's not my bloodline."

As she spoke, she turned her head to look at the man lying motionless on the ground. His arms were twisted as if he had no feeling at all, his palms were facing upwards, and the blood was spreading larger and larger, forming a small pool of blood under him. Half of his face was also completely soaked in blood, and his eyes were tightly closed.

Seeing this, Qiao Susu's breath was choked. She wanted to check on him, but Luka held her waist.

"I come."

He touched her hair, then stood up and walked to Zongfang's side and squatted down. He saw that he had been shot near the shoulder blade on his back. It was the bullet that Carl had shot. Luka turned his heavy body over again, checked it, and found the bleeding point, which was the third rib under the ribs on the side. This bullet should have been shot by Luka. Judging from the trajectory and the location of the wound, he should have been shot because he didn't have time to adjust his body when he was protecting Sui Sui.

"Neither of the two shots were fatal." Luka walked back after checking. He had no intention of caring about the person lying on the ground. He comforted Qiao Suisui and said, "I fought him one-on-one in the Imperial Court last time. His injuries will heal quickly, so he shouldn't die."

Qiao Suisui was startled when she heard this, and asked hesitantly, "What would happen if he lost his talent for self-healing?"

Luka watched her look at Zongfang nervously, his jaw unconsciously tensed, and he lowered his eyes and said, "It depends on his luck."

Everything that followed went on in an orderly manner according to Luka's arrangements. Medical team staff carried Zongfang away and put a reinforced electronic lock around his neck to prevent him from escaping.

Qiao Susu was carried by Luka towards the warship. When they passed a man with short red hair and eyebrow studs, Luka stopped and said to him, "Mission accomplished." The latter ignored him and just leaned against the door frame with his arms folded and raised his eyebrows to indicate that he heard it.

The team members who came to clear the area were moving back and forth, but Carl still stood there motionless. He watched Luka carry the petite female to the steps of the battleship, gently put her down, and call medical staff to check her. He stayed by her side from beginning to end with gentle movements.

While chewing gum, Karl looked at Qiao Susu. He saw her politely thank the medical staff, she pulled the man's sleeve and looked up and said something to him, she saw her delicate face slightly frowned, her expression was troubled and worried, she was extremely worried.

What are you worrying about? She was rescued and I didn't hit her.

Just as I was thinking about it, I saw the little female looking over here, and our eyes met.

'Snapped--'

The bubble suddenly burst, covering Carl's mouth with liquid.

His face turned red, and he felt that he looked very shameless, so he went into the house without looking back.

On the other side, Luka was finally relieved when he heard the medical staff say that Qiao Susu had no external injuries.

"What are you looking at?" "My house."

She looked at her two-story house with worry. When she came out just now, she saw that the places she passed were almost like trenches. How could people live there?

Luka paused, thinking that she was worried about Zongfang and would at least ask where he would be taken and what would happen. He didn't expect that she was only concerned about this remote house.

The man couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the tension he had just felt dissipated a little.

"Do you like it here?"

"Ah."

"I'll ask someone to fix it up. I think it's getting old, so I'll take this opportunity to redecorate it. What style do you like? You can choose, okay?"

Qiao Suisui's eyes suddenly lit up, "I do have an idea, thank you, Luka."

The man kissed the corner of her eye and whispered, "You don't have to ever say thank you to me. This is what I want to do."

Instead, he wanted to thank her for accepting the little things he did for her, which made Luka's heart feel at ease.

On the way back, Luka did not ask her what she and Zongfang had done, nor did he ask her about her pregnancy. He simply explained some of the situations that had occurred in Oslan during her absence.

"The emperor is critically ill? So suddenly?"

Qiao Susu was a little surprised. She and Lan Ze had seen him together before going out. At that time, he looked in good spirits and was talkative, with no signs of illness.

Luka didn't quite believe it either, and said, "Father has already arrived at the Imperial Court, and the heads of other large families will also go to pay their respects one after another. I heard that the eldest prince has also been invited back. Judging from the situation, the Sun of Oslan will soon change its owner."

"So sudden?"

She always felt that something was a little strange, and she couldn't help but frown and think, and asked after a while: "Does Ash know that Zongfang came to see me?"

"I know. He was the one who invited Carl for me."

Knowing but not showing up, this is not Libery's style. Qiao Suisui didn't want to emphasize how important she was to him, but his absence at this time was too different from the Libery who used to hang around her no matter what.

A person will not change in a short period of time unless something unexpected happens, or... She never got to know the real Libery.

"By the way, where's Lan Ze? He was the one who told you I was here, right? Why didn't I see him just now?"

Luka pursed his lips and hesitated for a moment, thinking about how to tell her tactfully.

"Lan Ze was injured and is receiving treatment now."

"Is it serious? Was it Munakata who hurt him?"

Luka nodded, held her face and kissed her, "Sui Sui, you have to be mentally prepared. Lan Ze may not be able to stand up after this."

Qiao Suisui's heart tightened when she heard this, and she didn't dare to ask any more questions. She returned to the imperial court in silence. The first thing she did after arriving was to visit Lan Ze.
