Chapter 774: I’m Here to Spice up Your Life a Little, Elder Leng
Meanwhile, on Hotel W’s rooftop.
Leng Xuan, with her hands tied, was dangling from a bent wooden pole. Her entire body was suspended over the rooftop of the nineteen-story building. Whenever she struggled, the wooden pole bent a little more, lowering her. To make things worse, the string that bound her to the pole was elastic.
Her mouth was tightly sealed with strong adhesive tape that tightly coiled around her neck as well, making her entire face look contorted. Strangled cries were the only sound she could make. Her body was tense and her eyes were wide with fright, which was unlike her usual aloof and dignified self.
With a black mask covering half of his face, Jiangsui put a foot on the edge of the rooftop and crouched down a little while filming the woman dangling from the wooden pole with his cell phone. He laughed. “Elder Leng, you must be feeling very bored. I’m here to spice up your life a little.”
Leng Xuan looked up and glared at him with her bloodshot eyes.
“Look, other people have to sh.e.l.l out a few hundred bucks to bungee jump, yet I’m letting you experience it for free. No need to stand on ceremony with me, just enjoy yourself.” He then added obnoxiously, “I’ll take a video for you to commemorate. You don’t have to thank me. I’ve always been a helpful person. Do you know who Lei Feng is? He’s my idol.”
The veins were visible in her eyes as she glared at him as if she wanted to shoot him dead.
Jiangsui changed his position and propped himself up by resting an elbow on his leg while continuing to film Leng Xuan. “Don’t tremble, Elder Leng. Otherwise, your reputation will be damaged. If others were to find out that the Elders’ a.s.sociation’s Leng Xuan was actually a coward when I upload this on the internet that would be very bad.”
Color drained from Leng Xuan’s face when she heard that and she trembled even more, which made the wooden pole bend even more.
“Elder Leng, if you continue moving around, you might end up as a b.l.o.o.d.y mess later, which would be unsightly.” Jiangsui smiled brightly under his mask at her while thinking, I’ve never seen such an expression on Leng Xuan’s face. I have to say that Gu Si is really cunning. He sure has no qualms when dealing with her.
…
When Lu Zhan heard that something had happened at Hotel W, he hurriedly brought his men over, only to see Lu Wu standing at the hotel’s entrance with the rest of his subordinates.
Spotting Lu Zhan from the corners of his eyes, Lu Wu put on a serious look as he strode over to salute the man. “Commander.”
Lu Zhan looked at him. “What happened to Leng Xuan?”
“I don’t know, sir.”
“Then, why are you standing here instead of going upstairs to check the situation?” asked Lu Zhan with a frown.
Lu Wu respectfully replied, “Young Master Lu says that we have to wait two hours no matter what happens.”
“Absurd!” Lu Zhan fumed. If something happens to Leng Xuan, her body will be cold by the time we can move in! Jijing Island will surely want accountability and we will be put in a disadvantageous situation. Even if he wanted to deal with her, he should have waited until she left the capital, that idiot!
Lu Wu lowered his head and said nothing more after that. Not wanting to fly into a rage in public, Lu Zhan quickly make his way over to the elevator inside.
Lu Wu waved his hand and beckoned the subordinates standing behind him to follow.
Upon reaching the presidential suite, they realized that the doors were wide open and that both Leng Xuan’s and Master Bi’s teams were all lying unconscious in front of their half-eaten meals.
They were drugged. Who could be capable of drugging them in front of Leng Xuan? Lu Zhan swept his glance across the s.p.a.cious living room, and when he found Leng Xuan nowhere in sight, he pursed his lips and instructed, “Find her.”
“Yes, sir.” Lu Wu signaled his subordinates to get moving.
Even after searching all of the rooms, they still could not find Leng Xuan.
Just then, Lu Wu’s phone rang. He answered the call. A frown appeared on his face. “Ms. Leng is dangling off the rooftop?”
The caller replied, “Yes. A video of her has been uploaded everywhere on the internet. Do we need to delete it?”
“Wait for my order.” Lu Wu then hung up the call and was just about to report this matter to Lu Zhan when the man’s phone rang at that moment.
It was a call from Jijing Island’s Elders’ a.s.sociation.
