I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 350

Bang! Bang! Suddenly, two loud noises rang out. Li Heng had already busted both the car’s back tires, causing it to sway left and right. At the same time, he unbuckled his seat belt and attempted to jump out of his car, but Li Cenbei showed no intention of stopping his vehicle.

Fu Chengyan squinted as he held the gun in his hand, aiming at one of Li Cenbei’s front tires. Meanwhile, Pei Jingxiu aimed his gun at Li Cenbei’s head. Yet, Li Cenbei’s stopped his car all of a sudden. He proceeded to hold onto Pei Huan, making Pei Jingxiu unable to aim straight.

Li Cenbei opened the car door, dragged Pei Huan down with him, and stared at the three men before him. “Looks like I’ve underestimated you guys,” he remarked while pursuing his lips. Li Cenbei had thought that with only Fu Chengyan and Li Heng around, he would still have a chance at survival as long as he had Pei Huan. However, Pei Jingxiu had decidedly shown up too.

Pei Jingxiu sat inside the car, tampering with his laptop. Then, very quickly, he shut down all the surveillance cameras in the area and exited the vehicle.

“It’s done.”

“Don’t come any closer, or I’ll shoot!” Li Cenbei held Pei Huan by the neck and pointed a gun at her. “I didn’t want to make an enemy out of you, Fu Chengyan, but you just had to get in my way.”

Fu Chengyan narrowed his eyes. As he walked over, he glanced at Li Heng while signaling Pei Jingxiu with his hand. “The person you’ve taken hostage just so happens to be a member of the Fu family. She’s my sister, so how could I not intervene? How about this? Let Pei Huan go. You can do whatever you want with Li Heng. The Li family’s affairs have nothing to do with the Fu family. What do you say?”

“Do you think I’m a three-year-old, Fu Chengyan?” Li Cenbei scoffed. “You and Li Heng have been friends for so many years. There’s no way you’d leave him be.”

Fu Chengyan smirked and nodded slightly. “You’re right, but…” Before Fu Chengyan could continue, Li Heng suddenly showed up and gave Li Cenbei a kick from behind. Before the latter realized it, Li Heng had already snatched Pei Huan over to his side.

Li Cenbei swiftly turned and aimed his gun at Li Heng. The moment Pei Huan saw this, all she managed to do was scream, “Be careful!” Bang! Bang! Two shots rang out. As Li Heng fell into Pei Huan’s arms, Li Cenbei received a bullet to his forehead and chest. He stared wide-eyed in Pei Huan’s direction.

Pei Huan’s heart pounded frantically as she felt herself being weighed down by another person’s body. “Li Heng? Li Heng!”

She cried out Li Heng’s name while relentlessly slapping him on the back. “Are you okay? Don’t scare me like this. Don’t you die on me!”

Cough, cough! Li Heng glanced at Pei Huan in frustration. Then, he turned over and got up, helping the woman up at the same time. “Even if I didn’t get shot, I would’ve died from being slapped in the back like that.”

“You’re okay?” Pei Huan stood up and looked around, making sure Li Heng was unharmed before heaving a sigh of relief. “You scared me.”

She really thought Li Heng had been shot from trying to protect her unconditionally during that crucial moment.

Tears swirled around in Pei Huan’s eyes as her face turned pale. “How could you be so stupid to now know that he had a gun—Li Cenbei!” She hurriedly turned to the man lying on the floor, but she couldn’t bring herself to keep her gaze on him. “He’s…”

“Don’t be afraid!” Li Heng pulled her into his arms. “Everything’s okay.”

“Alright. You’ll all okay, aren’t you?” Fu Chengyan glanced at the sweet couple after inspecting Li Cenbei’s corpse. Seeing they were uninjured, he nodded at Li Heng. “Aunt Ning’s surgery was a success, Huan. She’s currently resting in the hospital. Do you want to go and see her?”

“Really?”

Having just gone through a life-and-death situation, Pei Huan felt deeply shaken. But after hearing what Fu Chengyan said, all the anxiety and fear in her heart was washed away by happiness. “So, my mom’s…”

“Shaoqing said the surgery went even more smoothly than the previous one, so you don’t have to worry anymore,” Fu Chengyan replied before turning to Li Heng. “Take Huan to the hospital, Li Heng. I’ll handle it from here.”

“Alright.” Li Heng nodded. He knew how much Ning Xin mattered to Pei Huan. The latter woman would never be at peace as long as she didn’t see Ning Xin safe and sound. “I’ll leave this to you.”

“Chengyan,” Pei Huan called out to Fu Chengyan. “Thank you.”

Fu Chengyan’s lips curled into a smile. “Go on, now.”

“But Li Cenbei…”

“Since he insisted on coming here, his body will remain here too,” remarked Fu Chengyan. “Don’t worry. I’ll take care of everything here.”

Once Li Heng left with Pei Huan, Fu Chengyan cast Pei Jingxiu a glance. “I’m counting on you again, Jingxiu.”

Pei Jingxiu returned him a glance, got into the car, and began to work on his laptop again. “I can help you sort things out, but as for the guy…”

Fu Chengyan raised a brow. “Jiang Hu’s coming.”

As expected, the moment Fu Chengyan’s words sounded out of his mouth, Jiang Hu and Zhou Zheng showed up. “Hello, Mr. Pei and Mr. Fu!”

“Clean this place up, Jiang Hu.”
