Chapter 901: A Bad Debt (1)
That’s right, the person who brought Zhao Youlin to this place from the coffee shop and used the voice changer to call Lu Xiangtian, Mu Tingfeng, and the others over was the young master of the Lu family, Lu Sizheng.
When Zhao Youlin said this, the smile on Lu Sizheng’s face faded a little, but soon, Lu Sizheng’s face lit up again, and he looked at Zhao Youlin with a more penetrating gaze.
“You don’t need to know what I want to do. You just need to stay here and wait for those people to show up one by one and watch a good show.”
“Are you so sure I’m going to sit here and play along and let you push me around? You know, you didn’t bring me here in a very civilized manner.”
Zhao Youlin’s tone reminded Lu Sizheng of Lu Xiangtian on the phone just now. The curvature of his lips instantly became deeper as he looked around. He asked in an intriguing tone, “Ms. Zhao, don’t you think this place looks familiar?”
Zhao Youlin was stunned, and her hands under the table subconsciously tightened a little.
This place was more than just familiar to her. It was a nightmare. Back then, she was on a mission in this place, and then she was… shot dead!
Although Zhao Youlin tried her best to hide her strange feelings towards this place, she could not hide it from Lu Sizheng.
Lu Sizheng smiled and deliberately whispered into Zhao Youlin’s ear, “Ms. Zhao, don’t you want to know who killed you back then?”
“You…” Zhao Youlin’s pupils constricted. Although she knew that the person in front of her might know her identity, Zhao Youlin couldn’t help but feel shocked when she heard him say it so bluntly.
“Don’t be afraid, Ms. Zhao. I know everything about you. I don’t intend to threaten you with this. I just hope that you would remain where you are and not give me any trouble. Of course, on the other hand, I will answer everything that you want to know very soon. Very soon.”
Zhao Youlin bit her lip and stared at the person in front of her cautiously. Her intuition told her that this person was in great danger now, more dangerous than ever before!
Lu Shu and Li Yan had been locked up by Lu Xiangtian for several days without even drinking a drop of saliva. They were already on their last breaths. When Lu Xiangtian ordered them to be brought out, the two of them couldn’t even walk properly.
Before they could figure out what Lu Xiangtian was planning to do with them, they were forced into the car and driven out in a certain direction.
It wasn’t that Lu Shu and Li Yan hadn’t thought about resisting, but they were so hungry that they didn’t even have the strength to fight back. They didn’t even stand a chance against an average man, let alone these tall and burly bodyguards. They could only sulk and let others push them around.
The car drove all the way to East Pier of Shalnork before stopping. Lu Shu and Li Yan were brought out while Lu Xiangtian walked down from the other side.
Lu Xiangtian stared at the warehouse located in a remote corner of the pier, his eyes dark and hard to see.
It had to be said that the mysterious person hiding in the dark knew him very well. Right now, he was in a hurry to find his daughter. Even if there was only a one in a million chance, even if he knew that this could be a trap, he still had to make this trip.
Lu Xiangtian glanced at Mu Tingfeng expressionlessly and said in a deep voice, “Let’s go.”
After Lu Xiangtian gave the order, the bodyguards who were holding Lu Shu and Li Yan immediately pushed them forward.
Lu Xiangtian brought the stumbling Lu Shu and Li Yan into the warehouse. Mu Tingfeng also unbuckled his seatbelt and prepared to follow them.
Su Jifeng could not help but ask, “Do you really plan to go with them?”
Mu Tingfeng said nothing. He simply took it as a tacit agreement.
Su Jifeng felt more and more helpless. “Alright, bring that group of people with you. At least they can take care of you. I won’t go in. I’ll wait for you outside. If anything happens, I can find an opportunity to take care of you.”
Although Zhao Youlin had concealed the matter from the Zhao family, the Su family was destined to be spread the word. When Mu Tingfeng called for help last night… the former master of the Su family had personally sent two groups of people over to help, just in case.
However, Su Jifeng never expected these two groups of people to not be used in a search and rescue. It seemed that they were going to use them in a fight.
Mu Tingfeng nodded and took a gun from Su Jifeng’s hand to defend himself. Then, he led the group of people to follow closely behind Lu Xiangtian and entered the large warehouse together.
The spacious warehouse was usually a good place to store items and keep them safe. However, at that moment, this place had become a dangerous battlefield with complicated terrain because of the stacks of goods.
The sunlight that slanted in from the window shone through the irregular goods that were stored in the warehouse and reflected spots of light on the ground. It was a strange sight.
At first, Lu Shu did not notice that this warehouse was unusual. However, when she saw the layout of the warehouse, Lu Shu’s expression changed. “This… This place…”
Li Yan was puzzled. After scanning his surroundings, he finally remembered this place. His face turned pale.
Both of their expressions changed at the same time. However, Li Yan’s expression changed because he recalled everything that had happened here back then. His heart was filled with grief. Although Lu Shu also remembered everything that had happened here back then… she felt extremely guilty and terrified.
Lu Shu’s eyes darted around as she sneakily looked at this place and then at Lu Xiangtian. There was only one thought in her mind — could it be that this person already knew something? Did he just bring them here today? If that was really the case…
Fortunately, Lu Xiangtian’s attention was not on her at all. Otherwise, without Lu Xiangtian saying anything, with just a few glances, Lu Shu would have been scared to death on her own.
However, Lu Xiangtian did not notice Lu Shu, but that did not mean that no one else had noticed her. Mu Tingfeng followed Lu Xiangtian’s team and caught Lu Shu’s expression. His eyes turned cold, a few speculations began to form in his heart.
Lu Xiangtian scanned the entire warehouse. When he realized that no one had come out, he shouted in a deep voice, “I’ve already brought her over to you. Where’s your end of the bargain?”
Lu Xiangtian suddenly paused after he finished speaking. He narrowed his eyes slightly and added, “Hiding your face like a coward after such provocations. I didn’t teach you this before. What did I tell you about politics?”
When Lu Xiangtian said this, everyone present except Mu Tingfeng was stunned.
Mu Tingfeng’s face darkened, and his eyes became incomparably sharp in an instant. When he had heard the contents of the phone call, he had already had a guess in his heart. Now, his guess had been confirmed.
