Chapter 260 Who Sent You?
Mu Zhi ran as fast as she could. But she didn’t even know why she was running.
It was as if the anguish in her heart wanted to burst out of her chest.
She and Lu Jinye were really siblings. This last struggle to prove that they were not was a joke!
She didn’t dare turn back. She didn’t even know what to do now onwards.
Mu Zhi exited the hospital. She was about to call for a cab when darkness covered her eyes, and there was a sharp pain in her neck.
When she woke up again, her hands and feet were bound.
She tried to move but the bindings were too tight.
Even though she was not blindfolded, she had been left in a dark abandoned warehouse. It was so dark that besides the weeds which she could feel with her hands, there was nothing else she could see.
“Help!” Mu Zhi screamed.
Her voice echoed back at her in the emptiness.
“Help! Help me! Help!”
Mu Zhi yelled for help again and again until her voice became scratchy. Suddenly, she heard footsteps coming towards her.
Mu Zhi subconsciously raised her alertness and stretched towards the sound to listen for movement. At that moment, the warehouse door opened.
The sudden brightness was blinding, and Mu Zhi had to close her eyes for them to adjust. She slowly opened her eyes to see a man dressed in a suit standing in the doorway. He stood pin straight and gave off a scholarly vibe but wore sunglasses and a mask, covering his face.
“Who are you? Let me go! Why have you kidnapped me?”
Mu Zhi watched in fear as he approached her, wanting to back away from him.
He watched her as he slowly came near. Mu Zhi could feel how terrifying his gaze was even through the sunglasses.
As if he would end her life on a whim.
“It doesn’t matter who I am and as to why I’ve captured you… Well, you should know better than anyone else,” He smiled.
But the smile was even more frightening on this person.
Mu Zhi felt a shiver rake through her entire body.
At that moment, the man took out a knife and a gun, then placed it in front of Mu Zhi.
Suddenly, his phone rang.
The moment he took out the gun and the knife, Mu Zhi felt her already frayed nerves, stretched thin.
How terrifying.
But when faced with fear, she had no choice but to be more vigilant.
Her eyes focused on his every movement, watched as he picked up his phone, and glanced at the screen before turning around to answer the call.
The man did not close the door behind when he left. Mu Zhi carefully stood up and cautiously made her way towards the entryway.
He didn’t go far and stood by the warehouse as he spoke on the phone. Mu Zhi had no chance in escaping.
She could only stand with her back towards the doorway and watch for an opportunity to flee.
She could hear the conversation the man was having. She heard him say politely, “Chairman Lu, I have her.”
Chairman Lu!
The hairs on her back of her arm stood up.
Chairman Lu… Chairman Lu…
There weren’t many people with the name ‘Lu’ in City A. And there were only two who could be called Chairman Lu, Lu Jinye or Lu Leiming.
Mu Zhi knew then that the Chairman Lu he was referring to had to be Lu Leiming!
Why did Lu Leiming kidnap her?
Mu Zhi clenched her fists tight and thought hard… Was Lu Leiming trying to threaten Lu Jinye?
At that moment, she heard the man say, “Okay, I understand. I’ll rape her before killing her.”
“!”
Mu Zhi was petrified.
How Lu Leiming must hate her to issue such an order.
She heard the man continue to speak to the person at the other end of the call, “Chairman Lu, are you sure? She is your wife after all!”
“Yes, yes, yes…”
“Yes, I wouldn’t dare…”
“Yes, Chairman Lu, I’ll do as you say.”
The first sentence was the kidnapper bargaining. The person at the other end must have gotten angry and scolded him because soon after that, his tone became apologetic.
Following that, he spent a while apologizing before hanging up.
Mu Zhi didn’t know how to react anymore.
When Mu Zhi heard him say “Chairman Lu, she is your wife after all”, she did not know what to do anymore.
Chairman Lu! There weren’t many Chairman Lus out there.
And there was only one Chairman Lu she was married to… It was too obvious!
Was it Lu Jinye?!
It couldn’t be Lu Jinye!
She ran the thought over and over again. How could it be Lu Jinye?!
It couldn’t be him.
She was so petrified with fear and this new development that she could not move.
She had forgotten to escape.
The man finished with his phone call and turned around… To see Mu Zhi standing in the doorway.
Suddenly, a murderous aura came from him.
“You heard it all?” He asked irritably.
Mu Zhi seemed to finally regain her senses and nodded.
She then asked in disbelief, “Who were you talking to on the phone?”
“I can’t tell you. Have you chosen how you’d like to die?” The kidnapper watched her as he asked.
Mu Zhi looked at him and asked, “Tell me. Were you talking to Lu Jinye?”
“You’re lying to me, aren’t you?”
The kidnapper gave her an impatient glance and slowly walked to where he placed the knife and gun. He picked up the knife with his left hand and placed it down again before picking up the gun.
He asked her in annoyance, “What’s the use even if you know who ordered your death? You’re going to die anyway.”
Mu Zhi looked at him quietly.
“It’s not Lu Jinye, right? The Chairman Lu you’re talking about is Lu Leiming, isn’t it?” Mu Zhi tried asking again.
But the kidnapper sighed peevishly, “It’s Chairman Lu Jinye. You’re about to die anyway. There’s no harm in telling you. You can go to your death knowing who ordered it.”
…
On the other hand, when Lu Jinye received the results in the hospital, his first reaction was to analyze the data.
