Transmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart

Chapter 358: Examined Her From Head To Toe

When they returned to the forest, the smoke had cleared, and seven or eight men in black were lying on the grass.

Lu Liangwei was about to approach them, but Chu Jiu blocked her path.

Lu Liangwei knew that she was worried that these people might not have fainted and would try to harm her when she got near.

Although she was confident in the coma-inducing medicine she had developed, she did not want to reject Chu Jiu’s good intentions and stood still.

Chu Jiu stepped forward, bent down, and removed the cloth masks from all the assassins’ faces.

Lu Liangwei glanced at them, then looked away. She had already expected that the people sent to kill her must be strangers.

The original host had many enemies, but there should be nobody who truly wanted her dead.

She had not brought too much trouble on herself, so by using the method of exclusion, she could deduce the people who hated her so much that they wanted to kill her.

Such as the likes of Lu Yunshuang and Chen Xuping.

It was not that she went out of her way to suspect those two, but besides them, she could not think of anyone else who wanted her dead.

No, wait, she also seemed to be in the way of some other people’s interests.

People like Long Yang’s consorts.

They probably hated her guts, right?

However, would they dare to resort to contract killing?

While she was pondering, Chu Jiu fished out the dagger she carried on her and slit the throats of several unconscious killers without hesitation. She only left two of them alive, planning to torture them into confessing when they woke up.

Lu Liangwei did not seem to notice her actions and continued to immerse herself in her thoughts.

After finishing her series of deft movements, Chu Jiu suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Lu Liangwei.

Seeing her unfazed expression, Chu Jiu realized that the young woman was not unnerved by the scene before her and could not help sighing in relief.

Just now, she had momentarily forgotten that she was still beside Lu Liangwei and attacked out of habit. If Second Miss Lu had been frightened by the scene, she would not be able to explain herself to Master.

Fortunately, Second Miss Lu was not the fragile and hematophobic aristocrat’s daughter that she had imagined.

But why was Second Miss Lu not afraid?

She had a delicate appearance and grew up basking in the Grand Duke and the Dowager Duchess’s affection. It was normal for an aristocrat’s daughter like her to be frightened of the scene just now.

However, when Chu Jiu recalled how calm she was in the face of the assassins’ pursuit, the doubts in her heart faded away.

Second Miss Lu may look frail, but she was not a weak lady.

Chu Jiu lifted the two living assassins off the ground easily.

What she did not know was that Lu Liangwei was a physician. Although she had never killed anyone, she had seen many patients in terrible conditions and had even performed operations on them. For her, it was just a little bit of blood. Moreover, these assassins had wanted to kill her just now, and she would not show mercy to her enemies.

Lu Liangwei had no intention of stepping forward to help.

Chu Jiu could still run effortlessly while carrying her, so dragging two assassins was naturally a piece of cake.

“Miss, Miss… Where are you? I’ve brought help…”

At this moment, Zhu Yu’s distressed voice came from the other side of the forest.

Lu Liangwei’s face relaxed, and soon she saw Zhu Yu running over with a group of people.

She hurriedly waved to Zhu Yu. “Zhu Yu, over here.”

Overjoyed, Zhu Yu ran toward her, stumbling over her feet. “Miss, I was so scared…”

“It’s alright. Look at me, I’m fine. But are you hurt?” Lu Liangwei asked as she examined her from head to toe.

Zhu Yu glared at Chu Jiu. This fellow only ran off with Miss just now without a care for her safety. Thank goodness she was able to keep her wits, and the assassins’ target was not her, so she managed to miss death by a hairbreadth.

Back then, a group of people happened to pass by the foot of the mountain, so she asked them for help.
