Translator: 549690339
Xu Chaomu couldn’t understand what they were talking about. Where were they taking her? Were they planning to destroy her body and erase all traces?
No! She didn’t want to die looking so hideous!
“Boss, what do we do? All the exits from Shu Lake are blocked, and there are police watching!” the man on the phone said.
He kept his voice low, deliberately suppressed, and spoke evasively, fearing that Xu Chaomu would catch on to something.
“Didn’t you just say, take the south road!” the “boss” sitting in the passenger seat was clearly impatient.
“Boss, did we take on the wrong job? This girl seems to have a complicated background!”
“Stop blabbering, just do the job well since you’ve taken the money!” the boss snapped irritably.
The men in the car immediately fell silent. The driver turned the steering wheel, reversing the direction, and headed south at the fork!
Tied up, Xu Chaomu wasn’t seated securely, and as the car turned, she slammed against the car window!
It hurt, it really hurt!
Shen Chi, you bastard… where are you…
Xu Chaomu wanted to scream but couldn’t make a sound; she wanted to look but couldn’t see the road. For the first time in her life, she felt an endless despair…
Shen Chi… did he not want her anymore… As soon as day breaks, he would fly to A City with Bai Man, right…
It’s like what they say, when it rains, it pours, and in the middle of the night, rain began to fall from the sky!
At first, it was a drizzle, pattering against the car windows. Then not long after, the drizzle turned into a downpour, drumming loudly on the car.
“It’s raining, boss!” someone in the muffled car began to speak.
“Speed up, let’s get out of C City fast!” The boss was somewhat panicked as well.
As expected, the driver floored the accelerator, and the car sped forward!
The road was bumpy and full of potholes, and the faster the car went, the more it jostled, leaving Xu Chaomu in a terrible state.
“Wuuu…” she struggled forcefully.
“Quick, call our guy and check the situation!” the boss ordered again.
Soon after, another man began making a call, his voice low.
“Boss, should we stop? There are police checking the exits!”
“Are you all useless? Can’t even handle a few cops!” the boss was furious. “Tell them, if they can’t handle it within an hour, they’d better bite their tongues and commit suicide! ”
“Yes, yes, yes!”
The rain outside intensified, drowning out even the sound of their voices in the car.
Xu Chaomu thought, if her body were thrown into the wilderness, covered in mud, would she look terrible, utterly woeful?
If Shen Chi saw her looking that wretched, would he just abandon her in the wilderness and not want her anymore?
She didn’t want to die, especially not in such an ugly way…
They had been jostling for who knows how long when suddenly the car stopped.
“Boss, the rain is too heavy, should we find shelter?” the driver asked.
“Keep driving, do you want to do this in broad daylight? I’m telling you, as soon as it gets light out, we’re dead meat! The rain right now is a gift from heaven; it makes it harder for them to find us!”
The driver had no choice but to restart the engine, and they proceeded on the potholed road.
The boss lit a cigarette. “Damn, this business is tough. I wouldn’t have taken it
if I knew!”
The downpour fell from the sky, and the whole atmosphere was foggy. The glow from streetlights formed halos softened by the rain, and water quickly rushed over the road surface.
A black Hummer raced down the road, splashing water that leaped meters high!
Behind it, another black car followed closely!
The two cars, one after the other, raced through the heavy rain, kicking up a misty spray.
“Boss Shen, please slow down, be careful of the road conditions!” Old Cheng in the car behind had to call Shen Chi, as he had been nearly thrown off multiple times by Shen Chi’s driving.
“I know,” Shen Chi said indifferently.
Yet, as he floored the accelerator, he didn’t care about the slickness of the wet road!
He had only one thought: she must not be harmed.
And he wouldn’t let anything happen to her!
The black Hummer continued down Shu Lake Avenue into the rainy, deepening night. Tires splashed the water on the ground with a “whoosh,” unstoppable.
Shen Chi’s phone wouldn’t stop ringing; Bai Man had made many calls to him.
Shen Chi kept hanging up, but Bai Man persisted, forcing him to pick up.
“Shen Chi, where are you? Why haven’t you returned? We have the acquisition ceremony in A City tomorrow morning; you absolutely cannot miss it!” Bai Man was anxious.
It was late, and the rain was pouring; she had no idea where Shen Chi had gone. Moreover, Xu Chaomu was not in the Shen Family home.
“I’m busy with something, we’ll talk tomorrow.”
“Don’t hang up! You know how important tomorrow’s acquisition ceremony is. No matter what you are busy with now, I will wait for you to go together tomorrow! This is the first major project since you took over Shen Group, and it carries a lot of weight. The whole group is watching you!”
Bai Man was well aware of the stakes involved. If it was successful, no one would question Shen Chi’s position as president. If not, would Shen Cexian dare to truly hand over the group to Shen Chi?
She could see that Shen Cexian’s favor was not limited to Shen Chi but also included Shen Shihan!
“You don’t need to instruct me about the group’s business!” Shen Chi replied, anger lacing his voice.
Right now, his only goal was to find Xu Chaomu!
“It’s me speaking out of turn. You handle it. Just make sure it’s not because of some romantic entanglement,” Bai Man said lightly.
She let out a cold laugh and hung up first; it was the first time Shen Chi had snapped at her!
Now, with Shen Chi not at the Shen’s, and Xu Chaomu missing too, she thought she understood something. Ha, what sister? Does she, Bai Man, look like a fool?
No sooner had Bai Man ended the call than someone brought news to Shen Chi.
“Fourth Young Master, we’ve spotted a suspicious vehicle! On Shu Lake Road heading south, by the hillside, we suspect Miss Xu has been taken by them.”
“Block the roads! Send someone to follow them!”
“Understood. We’ve already sent people to tail them!”
“Whoever dares harm a single hair on Xu Chaomu’s head, I’ll take his life!”
“Understood.”
Shen Chi’s eyes were fixed on the window, sharp and filled with killing intent. His lips were tightly pursed, and the veins on his hands, gripping the steering wheel, stood out, with bloodlust gradually spreading in his eyes.
Whoever had grown tired of living, dared to touch Xu Chaomu.
The black Hummer continued its journey, now on the bumpy mountain road!
The mountain paths were tough to navigate, and this area was already the most remote part of C City. Moreover, with the storm raging on, mudslides and landslides posed a constant threat!
The rain seemed to spill from the heavens and suddenly, with a loud “crash,’ rocks began rolling down from the mountain in succession!
“Boss, there seems to be a landslide ahead!” exclaimed the driver, turning on the headlights in panic..
