Chapter 139 - 139: Not Bad to be Knocked Out
Lan Yuyi was panicked and scared, “Lingche, I don’t want to stay here! Please take me away quickly and think about our child! Lingche, please save me, I can’t take it any longer.”
Qiao Yin looked over at Lu Lingche, standing in the dim moonlight, emanating a chilling determination.
She always held her silence, knowing that speaking would be pointless; if it was revealed how little she was regarded by Lu Lingche, the kidnappers may well kill her outright.
After a moment, she saw Lu Lingche raise his hand and point to Lan Yuyi, “Release her first, the money is yours.”
Lan Yuyi was ecstatic, fueling her elation, “Lingche, I knew it, I knew that I matter the most to you!”
Qiao Yin watched as the kidnappers untied Lan Yuyi, watched Yuyi run towards Lu Lingche; it felt as if someone had torn open a fissure in her heart, a sensation of both pain and cold.
Although she had anticipated the outcome, witnessing Lu Lingche choosing Lan Yuyi filled her with sorrow, even despair.
The heavens seem always too cruel to her; if they wish her dead, why torment her in such a brutal manner?
While running, Lan Yuyi tripped on something and lunged toward Lu Lingche.
Moving forward, Lu Lingche embraced her, “Yuyi!”
Qiao Yin watched them embrace, her lips curled into a mocking smile just as a heavy blow struck her from behind.
Darkness swallowed her swiftly.
How nice.
She mused.
Being knocked unconscious isn’t half bad, no need to witness their lovey-dovey act anymore.
Lu Lingche caught Lan Yuyi, he assessed her condition, and when he looked up again, both of the kidnappers and Qiao Yin were nowhere to be seen!
His assistant arrived with a group of bodyguards, “President Lu, we have the area surrounded!”
Lu Lingche handed Lan Yuyi to him, “Take her to the hospital, the rest come with me to search!”
Yet Lan Yuyi clung tightly to his clothes, refusing to let go, “Lingche, don’t leave me behind, I’m terrified! I want you to personally take me to the hospital, I can’t trust anyone else!”
Lu Lingche didn’t reply; instead, he shrugged off the suit gripped by Lan Yuyi and left with his men.
Lan Yuyi watched him walk away, her face in total disbelief. Could he seriously just leave like that? Abandoning her?
If the kidnappers decide to shoot an arrow at the call-back horse, then what?!
Deep down, he still cared for Qiao Yin!
Annoyed, she threw away Lu Lingche’s suit, pushed away the assistant who was holding onto her, and climbed into the car herself, “What’s with the daze, start driving quickly! Get away from here as soon as possible!”
The assistant snapped back to reality. He quickly picked up Lu Lingche’s suit, got into the car and rushed her to the hospital.
His surprised state was understandable, because the Lan Yuyi at that moment was totally different from the woman he used to know before, which left him totally astonished.
Both of them left the abandoned factory area in no time, while Lu Lingche and his men continued their detailed search.
Yet, even after searching twice, they found no sign of the kidnappers or Qiao Yin. The three of them had seemingly evaporated!
Lu Lingche’s face darkened intensely, he thought for a moment and said, “People can’t just disappear. If they aren’t above ground, look underground, check for hidden passages!”
“Yes, sir!”
His bodyguards rapidly shifted their focus and in a concealed corner, they found a tunnel.
“President Lu, the kidnappers planned this in advance. The tunnel is new! They indeed escaped through the tunnel, but it’s been destroyed now, it will take time to reopen it.”
“No need to dig. They have a person with them, they mustn’t have gone far. Call the helicopter and start searching!”
“Yes, sir!”
“Yu Fei, call the police, have them bring their dogs, and, block all roads in the area!”
“Yes, President Lu!”
