Lu Jingci walked into the study, turned on the computer on the table, and brought up the surveillance footage.
In the scene, the villa's gate is open, and a figure rushes out, the night wind blowing her long hair as she runs extremely fast.
She has already run away.
She ran away again.
She wanted to leave him, and she also wanted to abandon him!
The light from the screen reflected on Lu Jingci's face, dividing his expression into two distinct halves, making him look far more terrifying than before.
He dialed the number, his voice chillingly cold: "Only a few minutes! She can't have gone far. Contact the bodyguards nearby, search them, and then intercept her!"
Li Chuan said tremblingly, "Okay...okay, Mr. Lu."
Li Chuan felt emo, but she didn't dare to say it.
He would never be a CEO's assistant again in his next life; it's simply inhuman.
If this were a domineering CEO novel, he would definitely find the author and give him a good beating for not letting him get a good night's sleep.
Oh well, what can I do? He earns hundreds of thousands a month, so I'll just have to hang in there.
He was furious but dared not speak out, and immediately sent men to chase after them.
Late at night, at a villa on a hillside.
The bodyguards, despite receiving high salaries, didn't feel too tired and were all actively searching everywhere.
Much later.
"Assistant Li, there's no one on this road."
"Me too, Assistant Li, we still can't find her. Is Miss Xu hiding somewhere?"
"Reporting to Assistant Li, I have searched the entire mountain road outside the villa, but found nothing."
"Logically speaking, she couldn't have gone too far in such a short time. Assistant Li, I searched the area, but I couldn't find her..."
As more and more "cannot be found" messages came in, Li Chuan's hands began to tremble with panic.
It's over.
If they can't find her, and Miss Xu runs even further away tomorrow morning, Mr. Lu will surely kill him.
What should I do?
He quickly drove off to look for it himself.
Who knows, President Lu might be looking for him personally right now. As his assistant, how could he just sit idly by and wait for his doom?
"I'm sorry, Miss Xu."
"I sympathize with you, but I really can't let you get away, otherwise my job will be over."
-
In the courtyard of the villa.
Behind a big tree, Xu Wuning sat there, drawing circles on the ground, looking extremely content.
She smiled and hummed a song softly.
At first, she glanced at the security camera, ran out the door, and then a few minutes later, she ran back and hid here.
She was certain that for someone as obsessive and possessive as Lu Jingci, he would only have three seconds of patience to watch the camera footage.
He must have seen her run out the door, his face suddenly darkened, and then he went crazy, sending people to search outside the villa. He certainly wouldn't have looked any further, nor would he have discovered that she had returned.
Xu Wuning is only temporarily at a disadvantage, but she hasn't lost her mind.
The next day, after a long and tiring night, Lu Jingci and his team still couldn't find her. Just when they were convinced that she had run far away, she secretly slipped out again while they were at work.
Xu Wuning nodded lazily.
In the quiet night, a cool breeze blew through her hair as she rested with her eyes half-closed, feeling utterly comfortable.
……
More than an hour later, everyone was frantic with searching, and chaos reigned.
"How could there not be?"
"Could it be that a car happened to pass by the villa at that time and took Miss Xu away?"
"But what kind of cars could possibly pass by at night?"
"We searched far and wide in all four directions, but there was no one there at all."
At the crossroads outside the villa.
Lu Jingci stared at the road in the distance, holding a flashlight. His hair fell down, obscuring the increasingly dark and sinister look in his eyes.
Li Chuan swallowed hard, her hands trembling.
Miss Xu, where have you run off to again?
Hurry up and come out. Judging from Mr. Lu's condition, he's going to go crazy if we can't find him.
Just as Li Chuan was inwardly screaming that she was doomed.
Lu Jingci suddenly raised his head, coldly lifted his eyelids, and ordered, "Give the order to all go back."
Li Chuan was stunned, and it took her several seconds to open her mouth, "Huh? Go back? Aren't you going to look anymore?"
Is President Lu perhaps so angry that he's lost his mind?
The villa is located in such a remote place. How could Miss Xu just disappear in this desolate wilderness in the middle of the night and then just stop looking for her?
Lu Jingci laughed for no apparent reason, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, making it all the more chilling.
"Look at the soles of your shoes, they're covered in mud."
Li Chuan looked down and saw that the soles of her shoes were indeed covered in wet mud, because it had been drizzling for the past two days.
Lu Jingci scoffed coldly: "With a road this muddy and rugged, do you think Xu Wuning, with her pampered nature, would run that far in the dark?"
"With her intelligent personality, even if the road isn't dirty, she'll still find it tiring. She'll be afraid of getting scratched by tree branches; she's afraid of pain."
"It's just a diversionary tactic."
"She was just walking her dog; she didn't treat us like human beings."
Li Chuan stared in shock, her mouth agape, nearly dropping the walkie-talkie in her hand.
Seriously? So many of them chased after each other in the middle of the night, running around in the mud like headless flies, and what was the result?
……
In the courtyard of the villa, Xu Wuning leaned against a big tree, looking like she was about to fall asleep.
Suddenly.
A beam of light from a car headlight illuminated the pitch-black night.
The deep roar of the car engine came from afar, heading back towards the villa.
Xu Wuning woke up instantly.
She froze instantly, her back pressed tightly against the tree trunk, feeling a chill run down her spine.
"No way?"
"How could that be?"
"Why did you stop searching after such a short time?"
Immediately afterwards, Lu Jingci got out of the car.
All the lights in the villa courtyard were turned on, and in an instant, the courtyard was as bright as day.
Blinding light poured down from above, leaving no shadow to hide in.
Xu Wuning was startled and hurriedly curled up in the crevice behind the tree, not daring to breathe.
Lu Jingci began searching the yard.
Xu Wu Ning listened to the footsteps and felt that the figure was getting closer and closer.
Her heart pounded violently in her chest, and she covered her mouth tightly, afraid to make a sound.
After inspecting the east side, Lu Jingci turned to the west side.
Finally, she walked towards the big tree where she was.
Xu Wuning swallowed hard and shrank even smaller.
The dark shadow cast by Lu Jingci was stretched long by the glaring light in the courtyard, like a thick gloom that gradually covered the patch of ground where she was hiding.
Then, Lu Jingci stopped.
Xu Wuning bit her lip hard, barely daring to breathe.
In the quiet of the night.
Lu Jingci suddenly let out a strange laugh, curling his crimson lips into a smile.
Then he took off his suit jacket, threw it hard on the ground, and continued walking towards the tree step by step.
The gate behind them was closed, cutting off all view of the outside world.
This time, they can't escape...
That gloomy and terrifying shadow enveloped her so tightly.
Xu Wuning hugged her knees nervously, her hands trembling even more violently.
Lu Jingci's voice was cold and morbidly manic, "Xu Wuning, are you going to come out obediently on your own, or wait for me to come and get you?"
If I catch you, I'll make you cry tonight.
No matter how much you beg, I will not let you go...
I'll count to three.
"one."
"two."
"three……"
