My Dangerous Billionaire Husband - Chapter 122

Chapter 122: Unpredictable

“The two of you do not need to worry. The president has invited both of you to question Ning Qing’s whereabouts. All you have to do is to answer truthfully.” Zhu Rui said.

Invited?

The two journalists looked at the rope on their bodies, clicking their lips together.

Zhu Rui had a way with words, he did not divulge the severity of the situation. “Only need to answer truthfully.” These words only held superficial meaning; it meant that if they lied, they had to bear the consequences on their own.

The journalist smiled and said,” Young Master Lu, we will tell you the truth. About forty minutes ago we did see Miss Ning near the entrance of the secluded maple tree forest. At that moment, we wanted to give chase and interview her, but she hastily boarded a taxi.”

The man on the sofa raised his eyebrows and did not speak.

“Taxi?” Zhu Rui quickly replied. “Can you recall what the number plate on the taxi?”

“This…” this reporter was well versed with this kind of situation. He thought of the taxi serial killer. If Ning Qing really met with an accident, and they did not tell the truth, Young Master Lu would not forgive them, so all they could do was to deceive him and push the blame away.

“Because the taxi left speedily, I did not see it clearly.” The journalist pondered seriously, “However, I think the number plate had two 9s.”

The other journalist who had wanted to make a report was a newly recruited intern; he was young and inexperienced. He knew that his partner was lying and glanced at him with a confused expression.

“Two 9s?” Zhu Rui was overjoyed, seeing that the journalist did not seem to be lying and did not seem suspicions. He turned to Lu Shaoming. “President, I will get searching.”

Zhu Rui turned and left.

The journalist saw that his lie remained unexposed and let out a sigh of relief.

“Hold on,” the man on the couch lazily drawled. With his handsome face looking forward, his eyes squinting, he pointed his long lazy finger towards the young intern. “What do you have to say?”

The young man did not have any experience dealing with men from high society. He looked at Lu Shaoming. It was noon currently. The sunlight shone through the French windows in the castle-like villa. The elegance and sharp expression could almost pierce his mind. He was the embodiment of superiority

The intern had admiration in his eyes, but he was afraid. He did not know why his partner had to lie. He was also hesitant to speak the truth. “I, I…”

Lu Shaoming stood up slowly. He wore a pair of handmade black leather shoes, and he took step by step towards the intern. He placed his hand onto the intern’s shoulder/ “It is okay. If you simply speak the truth and do it well, I will recommend you to be the assistant editor of the newsroom.”

The intern was overjoyed, this was a huge reward.

Right after, he felt an excruciating pain on his shoulder. Lu Shaoming controlled the strength in his hands and did not put much effort, but that still made the intern cower in pain with cold sweat dripping down. Lu Shaoming was taller than him by half a head. He stood sideways, lowered his voice to the intern’s ear, and with a hand in his pocket, he said casually, “However if you choose not to divulge what you know, then you can’t blame me…”

“I…I will speak, let me speak!” The intern was utterly flabbergasted.

His scalp was numb. The eeriness of Lu Shaoming was well pronounced. His scent was just like a sharp knife that could kill, cutting into his skin with a numbing pain.

Lu Shaoming’s lips curled up into a smile, let go of his grip. With both hands inserted into his pockets, “Okay, then you better speak up.”

“We saw Miss Ning board a taxi, but that vehicle did not bear a number plate. It was probably an illegal vehicle.”

The moment he said those words, he felt the bated breath of the man beside him. He did not dare hide anything else, and boldly continued, “Re…Recently, in the vicinity of that road, there has been an emergence of a taxi serial killer, who focuses solely on raping and then murdering pretty girls. I think that driver…”

Taxi serial killer?

Bang! A loud clatter pierced the air. The intern covered his ears in fear. Lu Shaoming used his leg to kick the coffee table.

The senior journalist was shocked, and knew in his heart that things had gone downhill.

“If you guessed that it was the taxi serial killer, why did you not stop or call the police?” The veins in Lu Shaoming’s neck were popping out. His eyes were bulging out of their sockets. He was immensely furious.

“I, I was only speculating. Ning Qing is a famous person, the taxi serial killer would not want to harm her…” the intern journalist said in fear.

“Are you dumb? To be a taxi serial killer, he must be mentally ill. The fact that Ning Qing is a famous person would allow him to feel more exhilaration and go even crazier as she would pose a greater challenge to him. You know that Ning Qing boarded that kind of vehicle. Don’t you know what she would endure and how afraid she would be?” Lu Shaoming’s chest moved as he panted furiously. His tired eyes were bloodshot, and he was on the brink of tears.

In the moment he thought of the danger that Ning Qing would be in, his entire being was akin to being fried alive in a heated oil wok. The compressed feelings that he felt since he’d left the plane were no longer controllable.

It was as if someone had lit his heart on fire.

Why did he have to leave on a business trip?

How could she not wait for him to return?

The two journalists did not dare breathe, the entire villa was filled with the sound his heaving breathing, just like the scene of tumultuous seas.

It was immensely strong, and incredibly horrifying.

This was the first time Zhu Rui saw Lu Shaoming lose his temper. He was intimidated, witnessing such a thing.

But he put on a brave front. “President, there is no point being angry now. The key point to ponder is our next course of action. The secluded alleyway did not have any closed circuit surveillance. It is natural that we could not locate any suspicious vehicle. It seems like that serial killer is well versed with the orientation of this place. He will definitely take the backroads.”

Lu Shaoming placed two hands on his waist, and turned to face the French windows. He lowered his gaze to placate his breathing, and said with a hoarse voice, “Mobilize all of T City’s traffic officers to seal all exits. Temporarily stop any vehicle from entering or exiting in the city. Check each vehicle one by one.”

The two journalists were shell shocked, the determination of Young Master Lu…

He was forcing a stop to all traffic in T City.

He would cause a total disruption to everyone in the city.

This was an act by a wild man, and it was on such a broad scale.

“Also,” Lu Shaoming lifted his gaze to see the bright sun in the sky. He had a menacing smile on his face. “Call Mayor Zhou, let him immediately create an artificial snowstorm. I want to see a 20cm inch thick pile of snow on the ground in 5mins. Contact the chief of the police force. Let him locate the taxi serial killer, and also get the expertise of psychologists to determine the possible locations where he would commit the crime.”

“Lastly, tell them, if they are unable to complete the mission within the stipulated time, then I will see to their downfall!”

“Yes sir.” Zhu Rui nodded his head and turned to leave.

The two journalists lost strength in their limbs and immediately plodded onto the floor. The floor was lined with a premium cashmere carpet. Lying on it was even more comfortable than the couch.

However the duo were unable to enjoy the comfort. They were breathing heavily with immense fear.

Everyone proclaimed Young Master Lu to be low profile. Today they’ve have seen it for themselves.

One word from him could mobilize the mayor and chief of police. The influence of Guang Qing Corporation was undoubtedly huge. This influence of this man before them was entrenched deeply in every corner of T City.

If he were willing, he could move the clouds and cause rain.

In a mere few minutes, the sun faded into the background and the sky was filled with feather sized flakes of snow. In a blink of an eye, the roads were covered in a thin layer of snow.

Lu Shaoming was still standing by the French windows. The hands on his waist were then inserted into his trouser pocket. He frowned slightly as he silently waited for news.

If Ning Qing was still in T City, he believed that he would receive news at any moment.

Just then, Auntie Yang walked out from the kitchen. “Sir, you’ve gone through many troubles. I have prepared a bowl of noodles for you. Please eat a little.”

Lu Shaoming went to America on a business trip. The headquarters had an extremely important meeting for the board of directors, and the meeting lasted for an entire day and night.

Exiting the doors of the meeting room, there was no news from home. Everything was serene and calm. He boarded the plane and switched his phone off. Who would have known that he’d face such a grave situation upon landing.

The last words that the girl left him rang in his ears.

Goodbye, Lu Shaoming.

What was the meaning behind her words? Did she not want to see him again, or was she anticipating their next meeting?

If she was reluctant, why did she pretend to be confident?

It was up to him to make the decision of whether he wants her or not, but she preempted his move completely

“I don’t want to eat, let’s wait for Madam to come back so we can eat together.”

Auntie Yang sighed and returned to the kitchen.

At this moment, the doors of the villa were pushed open, bringing in a gust of cold wind. “President, we have news.”

…

Ning Qing sat in the back of the taxi. She looked at the secluded area that the taxi was heading to. Puzzled, she asked the driver, “Driver, why are you not taking the main roads?”

The middle aged driver let out a merry laugh and with a sincere expression on his face, he said,” Oh, it is the weekend today. The big roads are jammed packed with cars. This route will be an express route to the bus station, it will take no time at all. I am familiar with this route.”

“Okay,” Ning Qing answered absentmindedly

The driver smiled with evil intent. He stepped on the accelerator, but at this moment, the bright sun was hidden by dark ominous clouds, and snow started to come down.

Ning Qing perched by the window and stared peculiarly outside. She murmured,” It was sunny yesterday. Why is it snowing now?”

The driver looked at the surface of the road, the previously dry surface was now full of thick snow that was on the brink of being ice. His expression turned cold.

Looking forward, the other lane was filled with many police vehicles. The green clothed policemen were using their batons to stop the cars one car at a time. Looking at the situation at hand, and they were screening for a huge criminal.

The driver’s heart clenched tight, and he knew that he was going to get into trouble.

He glanced through the rear view mirror to observe Ning Qing in the back seat. She was wearing a black over shirt with a white cashmere shirt underneath. Her legs were in nude stockings and a pair of black heeled boots. Her shiny black hair fell messily on her shoulders. Her nimble body and palm sized face was delicately pretty. Her pale skin almost like water.

The driver vulgarly licked his lips. This premium product… Since it got into his grasp, how could he give it up halfway?

The driver stepped on the accelerator and sped up.

But after just a few minutes, the snow on the ground piled up to 20cm thick. The car was stuck in the snow, driving along at a snail’s pace.

He punched the steering wheel and cursed.

Upon hearing his curse, she lifted her eyes to look at the driver.

The driver failed to hide his feelings. He was a recalcitrant rapist who had a dirty rotten stench that could not be covered up entirely. Once Ning Qing observed this scene, her heart sank and started to beat incessantly.

The driver also noticed Ning Qing’s skeptical look. He immediately put on a smile and said, “Miss, the roads are closed due to the snowstorm. I have to drive slowly.”

He wanted her to stay calm.

Ning Qing withdrew her gaze and she silently balled her hands into fists, and with an innocent smile she said, “Since the snow has led to road closures, then please let me out here. I will go to the bus station another day.”

Ning Qing touched her pocket searching for her phone, but her heart sank. Damn. She forgot to bring her phone along.

This person brought her to such a secluded area, without even a shadow of someone else there. Who could come to save her?

The driver noticed Ning Qing’s demeanor and knew his plan was out of the bag. He brazenly took off his cap and smiled viciously. “Little beauty, you’ve already boarded my vehicle. How could you even think of returning home?”

Ning Qing was frustrated. She’d been too careless. She was in an illegal vehicle for so long and failed to recognize it at all.

She decided to act on the spur of the moment and used her hand to open the car door, and she rolled over with her petite body into the snow.

Luckily the vehicle was moving at a slow pace, she was not injured and she hastily got up to run.

The driver did not expect Ning Qing to be so agile. He stepped further on the accelerator and opened the car door to give chase.

Ning Qing ran with all her energy, but she was unfamiliar with this place. She ran for a while before realizing that it was a dead end. She was frightened and her thin shoulder had been grabbed from behind and with a loud thud, the driver gave her a tight slap.

Blood trickled down the side of her lips, she was delirious due to the trauma, but she still stood up against the wall with much exertion.

She asked coldly, “What do you want?”

“Haha, little beauty, are you Ning Qing? The new generation’s ‘Best Actress’? I have seen your movies, and could not forget your figure. I heard that you went to climb into someone else’s bed when you were 18. After that, you seduced many others. I assumed that you would be tasty in bed.

“You have already ended up in my hands, what do you think I would like to do? I want to savour your flavour. If you serve me well, I will not kill you, and you will be a prisoner in my home. You will serve me every day, haha…”

“Pervert! This is illegal behaviour, you…”

The driver grabbed her by her hair and slammed her violently onto the wall. He said menacingly, “Against the law? I am the law!”

As he spoke, he tore open her black over shirt and used one hand to place her hands behind her back. Ning Qing only heard the sound of ripping. She went cold entirely, and sound of a belt being loosened rang in the air.

“Don’t bother struggling. I have played with so many women. I am well experienced. How would I let you escape? Come, let Master be happy.”

Ning Qing s hand were almost on the brink of being broken. The pervert behind her was too vicious. She had no way to put up a fight. Her forehead was struck ’til she saw stars in the air and her entire body was in pain. But more than anything, she was in despair.

Was she going to be raped?

Was this going to be her fate?

“No, who could come to your aid now?”

Ning Qing ‘s eyes were flooded with tears, she felt that pervert’s hand inch into her cashmere sweater and touch her. She felt disgusted and even wished that she would die.

No, she did not want to live with such shame, she would rather die.

Ning Qing looked at the wall in front of her, her lips curling into a smile as she thought of the handsome figure, Lu Shaoming!

She bit down on her lip. With great will, she went head onto the wall.

Before she died, she had regrets. When she was still living, many men wanted to possess her. But Lu Shaoming, the man that she loved the most… She was unable to become his woman.

If that wasn’t true, then she would die with no regrets.
