Chapter 81 - 81 Flying Away in a Helicopter
81 Flying Away in a Helicopter
Lu Ning hopped into the car and it drove away, silently disappearing into the night.
…
Inside the car.
Lu Ning leaned against the car door on the right, while a man was seated on the other end.
The oppressive aura around him was difficult to ignore.
However, his suffocating presence was different from Huo Jinyan’s. Huo Jinyan did not want to interact with others and had a cold aura that kept strangers away, but he carried himself with a sense of n.o.bility innate to the Huo family.
Whereas his oppressive aura was rank with the stench of blood from the underworld. When he appeared, one would not even dare to breathe too loudly.
Even if he were smiling, one would not be able to smile.
Lu Ning looked at the irrepressible bloodl.u.s.t he exuded, and did not say anything.
She simply took a bag he handed to her.
“Brat, it’s been so long since we last met. Where’s your greeting?”
Lu Ning placed the bag by her feet and glanced at him. “Long time no see.”
It could be considered a greeting. He did not give it any mind and chuckled.
The man’s name was Song Wenqi; his given name, which loosely meant ‘a period of warmth’, was a total mismatch with his temperament. He met Lu Ning two years ago.
They had met in the Gambling City in F Prefecture’s Red Ridge District.
And this time, they were also heading to the Gambling City in F Prefecture’s Red Ridge District.
The car drove for about half an hour before it finally came to a stop in a desolate area.
Lu Ning, Song Wenqi and the other person got out of the car, and their eardrums were instantly a.s.saulted by a loud noise.
They followed Song Wenqi around a dilapidated building in front of them; there was a helicopter hovering in the huge open s.p.a.ce behind it. The loud noise came from the helicopter’s propeller.
They promptly boarded the helicopter without any hesitation.
Soon, the helicopter circled and rose into the sky. After a while, it flew far away and disappeared from sight.
This really shocked Sixth Brother, who had been secretly watching over Lu Ning.
Sixth Brother stood frozen by the wall of the dilapidated building and looked up at the sky where no helicopter was to be seen.
“…”
He took out his phone and dialed Gu Chen.
“Eighth Brother… I don’t know how to say this. You know helicopters, right? She boarded one and it flew off…”
——————
Gu Chen and Gu Zi met up with Sixth Brother at the place where he lost her trail, and brought him back to have a discussion.
They had not provided Lu Ning with a GPS beacon to carry with her, which compounded the situation.
When Sixth Brother arrived, he sat down and told them everything he saw.
Gu Zi walked back and forth uneasily. “Did you see their faces? Do you know them?”
Sixth Brother did not nod or shake his head. He mulled for a moment, then said, “I was far away at that time and couldn’t see them clearly, but Boss had followed them of her own will and wasn’t being coerced, I’m sure of that.”
Gu Zi paced around even more anxiously. Gu Chen finally put away his phone and gave up.
He dialed her phone many times, but no one picked up.
Gu Zi also tried to pinpoint Lu Ning’s location using her phone, but to no avail. The signal must have been blocked over there.
Gu Chen called Ninth Brother and learned that Huo Jinyan had returned to his residence after leaving the café today. Thus, this matter ought to have nothing to do with him.
So who could have taken Lu Ning away, and why did Lu Ning leave with them? These were all mysteries which could only be solved when Lu Ning returned.
However, they had no idea if she was safe, and if she could return unharmed.
Gu Zi stood up abruptly. “I’ll check with the air traffic controller.”
He turned around and went upstairs.
Sixth Brother suddenly looked towards Gu Chen and hesitated for a moment before speaking up, “Eighth Brother, I think one of them actually looks very familiar…”
