Chapter 204 - 185 Lu Jinxii Abducts Someone
Arriving at the parking lot, Gu Qimiao saw a car flashing its hazard lights from afar. She stepped forward, and sure enough, it was Lu Jinxin’s car.He rolled down the window and said to her, "Get in."
Gu Qimiao stood still, "Say it, what’s the matter."
Lu Jinxin knew it was her way of protecting herself, likely worried he might do something to her in the car.
A hint of self-mockery flashed in his eyes, then he opened the car door and got out, clearly seeing her take two steps back to maintain an absolutely safe distance.
He didn’t approach to unsettle her further, only asking, "Miaomiao, do you like him?"
Unexpectedly, he opened with such a direct question, causing Gu Qimiao’s mind to pause before she nodded, as if long-suppressed emotions were finally released, carefully yet boldly revealing her heart: "Yes, I like him."
Lu Jinxin laughed upon hearing that, "Like him enough to forget all about us?"
"Mr. Lu, I don’t know what happened to you, but before I..."
"Mr. Lu?" he interrupted her, repeating the estranged address, feeling a blockage in his heart.
"Miaomiao, when you remember, I wonder if you’ll regret what you’re doing now."
Gu Qimiao frowned at him, firmly telling him, "I will never regret marrying him. I also hope you don’t look for me anymore, it’s really troubling."
Hearing her reply, Lu Jinxin’s smile became even more bitter, his gaze fell on her with a burning intensity, making Gu Qimiao only want to escape.
"If there’s nothing else... don’t look for me again..." Gu Qimiao said, then glanced at him, stepped back and prepared to turn and leave.
Lu Jinxin strode forward and hugged her tightly, scaring Gu Qimiao into struggling desperately.
"Miaomiao, I never thought of giving up waiting for you, but my patience is not as good as you imagine."
He whispered in her ear, then gently kissed her temple before releasing her.
As soon as his hand let go, Gu Qimiao quickly retreated far away, her eyes filled with panic.
Lu Jinxin couldn’t bear to look more, turning and driving away directly.
Only when his car disappeared from sight did Gu Qimiao slowly come to her senses, using her hand to touch the spot on her temple he had kissed as she left the dark parking lot.
The panic in her heart took a long time to subside.
Thinking of how she had just said she went to buy snacks to avoid Xiaoxiao’s suspicion, she took the elevator to the first floor and bought some randomly.
That night, the two women squeezed onto the companion bed, chatting with Xiaoxiao to improve her mood, at least enough to stop thinking solely about Gu Moming’s condition.
Shen Yanchen called to check on the situation, wanting to finish things up early so he could take her on their honeymoon, but after just one night apart, he found himself greedily wishing she could stay close by his side, wanting to see her every moment.
Through the silent night, the late-night streets had fewer pedestrians and vehicles.
Lu Jinxin didn’t stop for a moment, leaving the hospital to return and give Lu Qianwen instructions.
He was ready to give up everything here and leave with Gu Qimiao; nothing was more important to him than her.
Now, everywhere were sweet photos of her and Shen Yanchen, making him insanely jealous.
If yielding only meant losing her and driving her farther away, why not take a gamble?
"Bro, is everything ready on that side? Leaving tonight?"
Lu Jinxin had only packed some essentials, walking to the door as he said lightly, "I can’t wait any longer."
Lu Qianwen chuckled at his words, "Bro, leave everything here to me, just take her and live well."
Lu Jinxin uttered a deep "Hmm," then loaded the suitcase into the trunk and drove away.
Meanwhile, he called Liang Zixuan, "How’s the preparation?"
On the other end, Liang Zixuan said, "The routes are all planned, just bring her over."
"Hmm, make sure not to be followed."
Liang Zixuan laughed, "Don’t worry, my involvement isn’t required."
How could she be so foolish? Last time she was tricked but now knew to hide her whereabouts.
Even if the plan failed, Shen Yanchen would never know she was involved.
Deep into the night, Gu Qimiao and Xiaoxiao were both asleep when a man in a white coat, wearing a mask that obscured his face, entered the ward.
Walking over, he tapped Gu Qimiao and softly asked, "Are you the patient’s family member?"
Gu Qimiao, bleary-eyed, looked at him, her mind still foggy, but slowly sat up and nodded, "Yes."
The man then nodded, "Okay, then follow me downstairs to get the medicine."
"Now?"
"Yes, it will be needed soon."
As it was her first night on watch, and not knowing if such situations had occurred before when Xiaoxiao was around, Gu Qimiao thought nothing could happen in a hospital, so she carefully got out of bed.
She tucked in the blanket around the peacefully sleeping Xiaoxiao, afraid of waking her, then followed the doctor out.
Getting into the elevator, seeing him press the button for the basement floor, Gu Qimiao cautiously asked, "Getting medicine from downstairs?"
"Yes, the pharmacy is in the basement."
Gu Qimiao looked at him suspiciously; a hospital is a place that inherently causes unease, especially on such a dark and gloomy night.
Moreover, the morgue and storage rooms seem to be on the basement floor.
Gu Qimiao moved closer to the doctor, who, with his white coat and thin-rimmed glasses, looked rather refined.
"Ding——" The elevator door opened, and before Gu Qimiao could react, two figures plunged in from the darkness. She felt a sharp pain in her neck and then lost consciousness.
The doctor removed his mask, glanced at Gu Qimiao, and then moved closer to the man who had opened the car door and approached.
Lu Jinxi came over, gently picked up Gu Qimiao from the ground, and said to the doctor, "Go handle the surveillance footage."
The doctor nodded as Lu Jinxi turned and carried Gu Qimiao towards the car.
Sitting in the back seat, he held her in his arms as the driver started the car.
In the dim light of night, he looked at her lying quietly in his embrace, gently stroked her face, and draped his coat over her.
Thinking about the future, where it would be just him and her, he felt a long-lost sense of excitement.
The car drove smoothly for a while before starting to jolt, as if they had entered a remote mountainous area.
Darkness swallowed the sides of the road, with only the car’s headlights illuminating the way ahead...
...
The Sheng Han Group building was enveloped in darkness and silence, with only a few corridor lights faintly flickering.
In the brightly lit CEO’s office, Shen Yanchen’s long fingers tapped swiftly on the keyboard.
The buzzing sound broke the silence. Seeing the name on the screen, Shen Yanchen picked up the phone and slowly spoke, "What’s going on?"
From the other end, He Ye hurriedly said, "Chen Ge, did you take Xiao Saozi with you?"
"I’m at the company."
He Ye grew more anxious, "I woke up and saw Xiao Saozi’s location showing she went to an uninhabited area!"
Shen Yanchen also tensed up. Why would she go to an uninhabited area at this hour?
"Where is she now?"
"I have already started tracking, but the signal is weak and sporadic."
Shen Yanchen couldn’t sit still. Without bothering to tidy his desk, he grabbed his car keys and left.
The iron-gray Ghost raced through the streets at night, as he silently speculated who might have taken her.
The uninhabited area seemed to be Lu Jinxi’s territory. Has he finally resorted to extreme measures?
He feared nothing, except Gu Qimiao being in danger. However, if it was Lu Jinxi, he wouldn’t be overly worried, knowing Lu Jinxi wouldn’t harm her. It would have been different if it were Lu Qianwen or Liang Zixuan.
Although he speculated, as long as Gu Qimiao was out of his sight, he couldn’t calm down.
The car drove along, following the location He Ye sent. The fatigue from work vanished completely. After over an hour of driving down remote roads, He Ye called, "Chen Ge, it seems like it was Lu Jinxi."
"Where are you now?"
"This is his territory; I don’t dare to proceed hastily."
"Any actions taken?"
The signal weakened, and He Ye’s voice cracked, then the call abruptly ended with a beep.
Lu Jinxi’s car stopped in a spacious area, with a helicopter’s rotor blades stirring the surrounding weeds.
Opening the car door and getting out, he carried Gu Qimiao out. She was still asleep. Holding her protectively, he got onto one of the helicopters without any delay.
After exchanging a few words with those on the ground, the helicopter slowly ascended, flying higher into the ink-black night sky.
Looking down at Gu Qimiao in his arms, Lu Jinxi felt at ease the moment the plane took off.
He vowed to make up for her in their future days together, even if she would end up hating him; he couldn’t let her go.
For safety, four or five helicopters escorted them, crossing over mountains and rivers...
Meanwhile, Shen Yanchen saw He Ye’s car parked by the roadside. He Ye, noticing the lights, hurried down the mountain.
"Chen Ge!"
With a cold expression, Shen Yanchen scanned the surroundings and asked, "Where are they?"
He Ye, not even catching his breath, said, "Chen Ge! Lu Jinxi must have taken Xiao Saozi on a helicopter. A few helicopters just took off, heading towards Nanyang. Quick, send someone to intercept the helicopter!"
Shen Yanchen took out his phone, only to find no signal.
He Ye said, "Chen Ge, it seems like the signal is being blocked here."
Frowning, Shen Yanchen immediately returned to his car, turned it around, and drove until he reached an area with signal coverage.
He quickly made a call, instructing Nanyang’s people to prepare for an interception.
Fearing that Lu Jinxi might change direction, Shen Yanchen informed several other regions’ brothers to prepare for interception.
How could he let someone else easily abduct his wife? However, he had underestimated Lu Jinxi’s audacity, never expecting him to leave everything behind to snatch someone.
