Sometimes, we badly need a hug.
Kidnapped?
Lu Xi swiftly stood up and the notebook on his lap fell to the floor. It fell onto the marble floor with a heavy thud.
The screen filled with text flickered twice before it went black. However, Lu Xi no longer cared about this and urgently asked, "Where is Jin'er now? How on earth did this happen? What does the person want?"
A series of questions overflowed without any pauses.
Su Yue sighed and rubbed his forehead as he spoke in a hoarse voice, "we've only just found out that Xiao Jin was kidnapped. We're unclear of her general situation at the moment; the bureau has already begun investigations... The kidnapper..." He raised his head as his eyes closed, "the kidnapper has yet to come forward with news."
The kidnapper has not shared any news? Lu Xi frowned, "at what time did Jin'er go missing?"
"8.10am." Su Yue replied, "at 8.10am, she came out of the Red Dragonfly and entered a taxi. The taxi then passed Mingyu Park and drove towards a blindspot area at Ninghai Street. After that, both the driver and Xiao Jin went missing."
8.10am...
Lowering his head, Lu Xi gazed heavily at his wristwatch.
Half past ten.
Two hours and twenty minutes had passed and yet there was no sign or news from the kidnapper. If they were seeking money as ransom, this would have been negotiable but if they were seeking her life? Chief Zhou... The police? To put their hopes upon them?
Moreover, for Jin'er...
He forcefully clenched his mobile in his hands but those thin lips suddenly revealed a slight smile. His pair of peach blossom eyes were glazed over with icy-cool thoughts and his gaze was frosty and clear.
"I understand."
Suddenly calmed, his voice spoke this phrase and then he hung up.
Duu... Du...
From the phone, the sounds of the line being cut off could be heard. Flabbergasted, Su Yue stared at the screen of his phone and was shocked for a moment before he raised his head and asked, "Dad, what does this mean?"
With a hesitant frown on his brows, Su Chenghai shook his head. Although he was not home most of the time, after getting to know him, he could tell that Lu Xi greatly cared about Xiao Jin, his fiancee. However, this... phrase, "I understand"?
