Gu Mang looked insipid. Since she had not decided what to do, she was fine with Gu Si playing. Gu Si was fast and within a minute ten assassinations were assigned. The assassination target was not yet revealed to be Lu Chengzhou but the starting prices was set at a hundred million.
It was an exorbitant price. Money talks.
After assigning the missions, Gu Si turned to his sister. “Sis, give me your phone.”
Gu Mang played along with him and handed him the phone. Gu Si reassembled Gu Mang’s phone into a computer and proceeded to block Lu Chengzhou’s phone number as well as all forms of communications.
Only he was unable to contact her.
Gu Mang looked on lazily.
…
Meanwhile…
After hanging up Gu Si’s call, Lu Chengzhou grabbed his jacket and left No. 14 Research Center while calling Gu Mang. He made more than ten calls but her phone was turned off.
The man’s expression became grim and tense. His eyes were filled with terrifying resolve.
He knew that Gu Mang had something on which was inconvenient for her to reveal as it was not a simple matter. He never asked too much about her affairs and trusted that she could handle herself. However, he forgot that nobody could always be certain.
Arriving at the research center’s carpark, he opened the car door and got on in. He stopped calling Gu Mang and contacted Lu Qi instead.
The car screen showed Lu Qi’s feminine face. He took a step back and bowed respectfully. “Young Master Lu.”
Lu Chengzhou stepped on the accelerator and quickly left the parking slot. “Where did Gu Mang go after leaving the villa?”
Although Lu Qi could not see Lu Chengzhou’s face, he thought that something was amiss based on the man’s voice.
However, since it concerned Gu Mang, Lu Qi became nervous and responded, “Ms. Gu did not say and neither did she allow us to follow.”
Lu Chengzhou pursed his lips and said in a chilly, ruthless voice, “Bring the men and investigate. I want to know the location where she was last seen.”
Lu Qi was baffled for a second before asking in shock, “Young Master Lu, is Ms. Gu missing?”
Lu Chengzhou replied, “Did she offend anyone else other than Country K’s presidential palace?”
The presidential palace knew Gu Mang and his relationship so they would not have the guts to touch her.
As for others…
Lu Qi frowned and thought deeply. Several seconds later, he said, “Ms. Gu did not allow us to follow her when she went out. Ms. Lin was the only one who accompanied her. We have no idea where they went or what they did. I’ll get the men to investigate now.”
Lu Chengzhou remembered back then when Qin Fang investigated Lin Shuang, her background was especially clean as though it had been prepared beforehand.
Either Lin Shuang or her friend was a hacker. Since they did not let Lu Qi follow, they would definitely prevent Lu Qi from investigating.
“No need to investigate,” he said coldly.
Lu Qi did not quite understand what he meant but kept quiet.
Lu Chengzhou drove away from the research center and headed to the airport straightaway. “Go look for Lin Shuang.”
Lu Qi knew that Gu Mang had a place in his young master’s heart. His mind was extremely tense. “Understood.”
Ending the video call, Lu Chengzhou made a call to the bank.
…
Red Flame.
Gu Mang’s phone rang and it was from Lin Shuang.
When it was connected, Lin Shuang asked with uncertainty, “Little Sister Gu?”
Gu Mang raised her eyebrow nonchalantly. “It’s me.”
Lin Shuang heaved a sigh of relief when she was assured that Gu Mang was safe. She asked, “Didn’t you find an excuse for Lu Chengzhou given that you’re going to be training Red Flame for a long time?”
“No,” Gu Mang replied matter-of-factly.
On the other end of the call, the corners of Lin Shuang’s lips twitched. She leaned back in her chair and crossed her leg while smiling bewitchingly. “You probably don’t know that Young Master Lu is mobilizing his men to look for you all over the world.”
Given the panic amongst Lu Chengzhou’s associates and subordinates, everybody now knew that Gu Mang had a rather close relationship with Lu Chengzhou. The matter was getting out of hand.
