That morning, before the boss arrived at the store, Lu Sha had already tied on her apron and was quietly sweeping the floor in a corner by herself.
"Hey hey hey, gentlemen, over here please!"
The boss's voice appeared at the door, but unusually, he was being very flattering, completely lacking the imposing presence of a big boss.
"What a bunch of riffraff; none of them are good people," Lu Sha thought to herself as she turned around.
"Hey." A man with sunglasses and a shiny face set his sights on Lu Sha, who was showing off her long legs today. "This girl... has a nice figure."
"Oh!"
Thinking that she hadn't yet shown the two big clients anything today, the boss strode forward, casually lifting Lu Sha's hat off her head to reveal her red hair to everyone. Then he slapped her on the backside, but this time he went even further and gave it a little lift.
"Wow, little girl, you're working hard today."
In his eyes, Lu Sha was just a cash cow for him to exploit.
Even more outrageous was that the two big clients behind the boss seemed to be watching with great interest.
"Don't touch me." Out of respect for the big clients, Lu Sha held back her anger and warned coldly.
"Hey, getting a bit of an attitude? If you don't work properly, don't expect your salary this month," the boss said with a smirk, giving Lu Sha's backside another hard squeeze.
"I said... don't touch me!" Lu Sha stopped what she was doing and turned around to glare at the boss, silently raging.
"What are you going to do about it? I'm your boss; what can you do? Hahaha..." The boss laughed as the employees and customers around him snickered.
It would have been better if he hadn't said anything, but with those words, Lu Sha was completely ignited.
Without saying another word, she grabbed the broom and swung it down! The boss screamed as he stumbled backward; however, Lu Sha wasn't satisfied yet and brought it down hard again!
"Ah—"
The boss covered his broken nose in pain and collapsed to the ground. Seeing that Lu Sha was furious and had no intention of letting him go, several kind-hearted employees rushed up to block her.
"I've wasted my time raising you ungrateful brat! Get out of here, you bastard! Don't let me see you again!" the boss shouted.
"I couldn't agree more, bastard." Lu Sha actually tore off her apron, threw away the broom, put on the hat from the ground, and walked out of the store.
The only motivation for her working outside was to pay off her phone debt; now she could finally go home with justification... No, back to the orphanage.
"As long as I say I hit someone, Dad definitely won't let me go out again."
Lu Sha thought as she looked down at her long white legs, feeling like she had done something incredibly smart.
But what she didn't notice was that almost everyone on the street was running toward her from across the road. While she was still thinking about how to phrase things, a luxury car came speeding in the wrong direction and crashed into an oncoming vehicle with a loud bang!
The loud noise startled everyone running on the street and jolted Lu Sha back to reality. When she looked up, she realized she was the only one walking toward them.
In the distance, the faint sounds of explosions and gunfire could be heard. Moreover, they were coming from the direction of the orphanage!
"Home... Dad!"
Lu Sha felt something was wrong and immediately took off running.
Inside the orphanage, not only was the orphanage engulfed in flames, but nearby houses were also surrounded by fire. This area resembled a hell on earth.
Lao Lu had settled the children hiding in the basement and then ran back into the raging fire. He knew that two children were still unaccounted for, and he had to avoid the Viper organization while searching for them to quietly bring them back to safety.
"Xiao Lin, Xiao Lin!"
"Xuan Xuan, where are you? The director is here, don't be afraid!" Lao Lu shouted, exhausted.
"Grandpa! We're over here!" The voices came from the director's office.
Lao Lu hurriedly limped to the office and saw Xiao Lin and Xuan Xuan huddled together in a corner. The office was relatively safe; the fire wasn't too fierce there.
"Quick, follow me! We need to hide!" Lao Lu rushed forward, grabbing the two children and trying to lead them outside.
"Where are we supposed to hide?!"
A group of Viper organization members arrived at the sound, mercilessly raising their guns to aim at the old man and the two children. Lao Lu quickly hid the kids behind him, his face flushed with anger as he pointed at their leader and sternly shouted, "What do you want?! We are innocent! What does killing these children mean to you?!"
"Ah... you misunderstand, Director Weifeng. We all know you're a well-known good person. We're just here... to pay a visit," said the leader, rubbing his fingers together.
"A visit? Hmph! Only beasts like you would say such things!" Lao Lu cursed without fear.
"Oh! Ha, indeed like father, like son. Would you like to know... how your child died?"
Lao Lu was instantly stunned.
"During that gene material transaction at the border of Country R, he dared to drive a suicide vehicle into a convoy and got shot multiple times—very brave indeed. But our Viper's plan was completely disrupted by him!" The leader said regretfully.
"Your child has gone down in history. It's just a pity that there is something in this world called debt repayment. Since he did that, we must exchange a few lives for it, right? After all... your cultivated successor is truly admirable."
As he spoke, he raised his pistol and aimed it at Lu Weifeng: "People like you who raise enemies against us deserve to die."
Suddenly, gunfire erupted from the office at the top of the courtyard.
Lu Sha arrived at the front yard and noticed Viper organization members standing nearby. He quickly hid behind a car and took advantage of their momentary distraction to sprint away, reaching the back door of the orphanage before leaping over the wall.
However, as soon as he landed, Lu Sha nearly retched—
Several brutally murdered children were already lying inside.
This was the first time Lu Sha had seen such a bloody scene, and she couldn't help but feel a bit frightened. But she had to confirm Lao Lu's fate.
Entering the burning courtyard, Lu Sha hid and dodged, nearly getting caught by Viper's men. As she approached the principal's office, a soldier suddenly turned around. Fortunately, Lu Sha, with her exceptional reflexes, quickly pulled her head back just in time to avoid disaster.
A group of people passed by, and after confirming that no one was around, Lu Sha immediately ran toward the principal's office.
When Lu Sha pushed the door open, the sight before her struck her heart like a thunderclap: Chairman Lu had been shot in the abdomen by the assailants. It was clear that the attackers intended for Lao Lu to bleed out slowly. Xiao Lin and Xuan Xuan were already lying in a pool of blood.
On the verge of breaking down in tears, Lu Sha frantically tore at her clothing, ripping off a piece of fabric to bandage Chairman Lu, but he pressed her hand down.
"I'm going to die soon; don't worry about me. Just go..." Chairman Lu said with his eyes half-closed.
At eighteen, Lu Sha had never felt such a heart-wrenching pain and despair! The only ray of sunshine in her gray and tragic world was about to vanish completely.
Tears streamed from Lu Sha's eyes, falling onto Chairman Lu's face: "No, I won't let you die. I promised to protect you for life! Dad, please..."
Lu Sha gritted her teeth, her mouth contorted in anguish.
"There's no need... Child, remember that there are many people in this world worth protecting... After I'm gone, promise me... to embrace this world with a smile. Hatred and anger will only consume you; do you understand..."
"Okay, I promise... I understand..." Lu Sha pressed her adoptive father's hand tightly against her cheek, sobbing.
After coughing up a mouthful of blood, Chairman Lu fell silent forever.
Lu Sha closed his eyes for him and hadn't even begun to cry when footsteps echoed in the corridor: "Go check if there are any stragglers!"
"It's over!"
Lu Sha's heart sank as she hurriedly locked the door and piled several stools against it. She pressed hard against the door as the footsteps grew closer, followed by relentless and violent banging on the door.
"Who’s in there? Open the door!"
Seeing the chairs topple over and the door about to burst open, Lu Sha glanced at the window beside her and made up her mind. She ran over, opened it wide, and threw herself out.
However, during her fall, she regretted it—
I have to survive!
Lu Sha thought, but it was too late. She landed in the bushes below, feeling a sharp pain all over for a moment before experiencing an unexpected sense of relief as if she had finally escaped from her unfortunate life.
In the darkness, Lao Lu's smile appeared before her eyes; gradually, everything faded into complete blackness.
