Chapter 511: Find Miss Ning as Soon as Possible
Lu Cheng tormented her for a bit more before letting her go and pouting, "Boring."
"If the prey doesn’t resist, it’s no fun."
Rolling her eyes, she touched her chin, "Miss Ning, do you think a person will die if they don’t eat or drink for several days? Should we do an experiment?"
Ning Xixi’s body shuddered, and her eyelashes trembled, "Lu Cheng, I have no grudge with you, right? Let me go, and I’ll give you a sum of money. How about that?"
Lu Cheng was intrigued, "How much?"
"How much did Lu Qinghe offer you?"
"How did you know the madam paid me..." Lu Cheng accidentally let it slip.
Ning Xixi gave a knowing smile, enduring the severe pain in her head, "Whatever she gives you, I’ll give you double. Just let me go..."
"Impossible!" Lu Cheng refused without a second thought, clearly loyal to Lu Qinghe.
Ning Xixi observed her expression and probed, "I can’t endure the suffering of not eating or drinking, so just kill me with a knife, and let me die!"
She didn’t really want to die but wanted to test Lu Cheng’s attitude towards her.
Lu Cheng glared with fierce eyes, "Want to die? You wish! Let me tell you, you must stay alive for me!"
Ning Xixi seemed to find a foothold, "Let’s make a deal, you don’t have to let me go, just take good care of me. As for the terms, you’ll know once you log into a bank account..."
Lu Cheng was dubious. Ning Xixi looked at her innocently. Lu Cheng’s expression gradually changed, and she coughed, "First, tell me the bank account."
Ning Xixi reported a series of numbers. After Lu Cheng logged in and saw the digits, she immediately became more pleasant towards Ning Xixi.
"Miss Ning, I apologize for my earlier offenses. I hope you don’t mind."
"What just happened?" Ning Xixi tilted her head and smiled lightly. Lu Cheng paused, then nodded politely, "Then, I won’t disturb Miss Ning’s rest."
She left quietly, even closing the door for Ning Xixi.
After the door was shut, Ning Xixi exhaled heavily, her back slick with dense cold sweat.
Thankfully, Lu Cheng was greedy, and she managed to temporarily buy her off this way.
Her head ached as if it was about to explode. Enduring the pain, Ning Xixi pondered how she might escape.
...
Meanwhile.
In a mansion in Luolan City, a private plane from China landed.
A tall figure in a black trench coat and dark sunglasses strode with firm steps, his voice clear and cold:
"Have you found where she is?"
"Sorry, young master... We only found out Miss Ning’s flight details. After arriving in Luolan City, she just vanished... There are no spending records on her own or on the accounts she holds with Ji. This is a foreign country after all, it might take more time to find her."
Ji Yebai took off his sunglasses, saying coldly, "Three days. I give you three days. If you don’t find her, all of you can get lost!"
His subordinate shivered, "Calm your anger, young master! We will definitely do our best and find Miss Ning as soon as possible!"
Ji Yebai responded indifferently with a "Hmm," his face solemn, his eyes shadowed with weariness and blue-dark circles.
He should have stayed in China, but in the end... he couldn’t stop worrying about Ning Xixi.
Even if she regretted it or betrayed him.
At least, he wanted to know she was safe!
