Chapter 416 - 430: Damn, Lu Jinghan, your wife has been taken away.
Han Xi nodded and walked with Li Manman toward the sofa not far away.Lu Jinghan chatted enthusiastically with everyone, his hand in his pocket, and he was the most noticeable person in the crowd, exuding an air of authority.
Han Xi sat on the sofa, looking through the glass window at the falling snowflakes outside: "Let’s spend Christmas together this year, the six of us."
"Sure, with both my best friend and boyfriend, I’m starting to feel a bit excited."
Li Manman picked up the tall glass on the table and took a sip of red wine.
Han Xi stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the cars and people passing by outside: "I wonder if those men usually celebrate Christmas?"
As soon as her voice fell, the lights in the hall went out, and people began to panic in the pitch-black room.
Lu Jinghan frowned and stepped across the crowd, quickly moving towards the floor-to-ceiling window where Han Xi had just been standing.
He took out his phone from his pants pocket, but in the light of the screen, he didn’t see Han Xi’s figure, and his heart tightened.
He called the people protecting Han Xi in the hall and told them to immediately guard the entrance.
"Everyone, stay calm, our staff are repairing the circuit, it will be fixed soon."
The hotel’s staff found a megaphone somewhere, stood on the stage, and reassured the people in the hall.
After hanging up, Lu Jinghan dialed Han Xi’s number again, but no one answered the call.
For some reason, he felt Han Xi had been taken by Liao Tingxiao.
A few minutes later, the hall lights came back on, Lu Jinghan stood in place squinting around, but Han Xi was nowhere to be seen.
"Xiao Xi, where did she go?" Li Manman stood up from the sofa and frowned, asking.
Fu Bin and Feng Yi also came over: "What’s wrong, Jinghan?"
"Xiao Xi was probably taken by Liao Tingxiao."
As soon as Lu Jinghan finished speaking, the phone in his hand rang with a string of unfamiliar numbers.
"Damn, Lu Jinghan, your wife has been taken." A hurried voice came from the other end of the line.
"Who are you?"
"I’m Yan Xiao; there are too many of them, I might not be able to handle it, I’m sending you the location, hurry and bring your people."
Yan Xiao hung up the phone and sent the location to Lu Jinghan. He had just finished work and rushed over, only to see Han Xi being dragged into a car by several burly men before he even got out.
"Drive faster, don’t lose them."
Yan Xiao couldn’t help but knock the manager on the driver’s seat on the head, feeling urgently.
"Little master, if we follow too closely, we’ll be spotted and maybe even get beaten."
They clearly came to attend a charity gala, how did it suddenly turn into a cop-and-robber drama.
"Lose them and I’ll dock your pay."
Yan Xiao glared at his cowardly manager and then sat in the back seat.
After hanging up, Lu Jinghan rushed out of the banquet hall and chased after the location.
Feng Yi, Fu Bin, and Li Manman also got into the car, following closely behind.
At the intersection midway, Yan Xiao and his crew gloriously lost track of them.
"A bear isn’t as dumb as you, if anything happens to Han Xi, I’ll fire you."
Yan Xiao growled furiously, quickly took out his phone and called Lu Jinghan, admitting he had lost them.
Han Xi, meanwhile, was being watched closely by two men as she got off the car, wearing only a dress, shivering with goosebumps in the freezing cold.
