Chapter 620: He Is Willing to Exchange His Lifespan for Her Safety
Lu Xingzhi suggested again that she wanted to wash with hot water. There was no water heater here, so they bought her a bucket and an electric heater.After buying the things, Lu Xingzhi took the bucket to the bathroom.
She didn’t immediately fill it with water but turned the bucket upside down and stepped on it.
It was also a test of the quality of this bucket.
At 1.7 meters tall, she still couldn’t see outside, so she had to rely on the bucket.
It seemed she was in a courtyard house, probably a private residence!
Yin Moxue, that woman, did she go home, or is she living nearby?
Is there a chance she might slip up and say something?
Given Yin Moxue’s hatred for her, wishing she were dead, she should have come to see her looking miserable, so why hasn’t she come by?
Without thinking too much, Lu Xingzhi calmly carried a bucket of water out, heated it, and took a bath, feeling much more comfortable and clear-headed afterwards.
She couldn’t rush; she had to stay calm.
Only, Uncle must be particularly anxious now!
But, she’s not in the United States now; he won’t be going to the United States, will he?
How can she get a message to him?
--
Lu Xingzhi’s guess was correct. After learning that she had suddenly disappeared, Huo Jincheng was holding a cup, which fell to the ground.
At that time, he couldn’t handle anything else and directly got on a plane to the United States.
He was indeed worried to the point of being nearly insane.
He had completely lost his reason.
"So, are you saying the person disappeared into thin air?" Huo Jincheng was on the verge of rage, more worried about Lu Xingzhi.
These two days, he didn’t know if she was hungry, if she was cold, or if she couldn’t sleep.
He worried about too many things and was in very poor condition.
Since learning that Lu Xingzhi suddenly disappeared, he hadn’t closed his eyes.
"Boss, we should continue looking for her."
"Search, continue to search. Pull up all the surveillance around the lady’s location. Don’t overlook a single one." Huo Jincheng’s voice was somewhat hoarse; every wasted minute posed more danger to Lu Xingzhi.
"Yes."
A moment later, a man came in, "Boss, they say the lady assisted Daniel with a piano accompaniment this time. Daniel is interested in her and is known to enjoy toying with women. Moreover, it’s said that the women who have been with him are utterly devoted to him. The women among them are quite unfriendly."
This animosity had deep implications.
"Investigate him." Huo Jincheng wouldn’t let anyone get away, preferring to be safe than sorry.
"Yes."
After they all left, Huo Jincheng stood by the window and lit a cigarette.
He wasn’t averse to smoking, but under normal circumstances, he didn’t smoke unless it was a social event or business occasion.
Now, standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, he needed it to refresh himself and relieve stress.
He had never been so despondent before; extinguishing a cigarette butt, Huo Jincheng slightly parted his somewhat chapped lips, "Zhi Zhi..."
Zhi Zhi, where exactly are you?
Huo Jincheng’s fingers tightened, still wearing the string of Buddha Beads Lu Xingzhi had given him on his wrist.
He moved the Buddha Beads one by one; he didn’t really believe in Buddha, but if there was truly a Buddha, he just wished for Lu Xingzhi’s safety.
He was willing to exchange his lifespan.
If there was indeed a telepathic connection, then, Zhi Zhi, can you tell me?
Huo Jincheng lowered his eyes slightly, then opened them, looking into the distance.
