After hanging up, Lu Chengzhou gulped and turned to Gu Mang.
She was still gaming.
Lu Chengzhou said in a tense voice, “Grandma is at the hospital. We’re losing her.”
When Gu Mang heard this, her fingers paused on her screen. The sound denoting a kill was heard.
She looked at Lu Chengzhou in a daze.
Across from them, Qin Fang, He Yidu, and Qin Yaozhi’s expressions changed drastically.
Didn’t Yu Zhongjing say that nothing bad would happen anytime soon before they came?
It had only been a few days.
…
On the other side.
The bald man picked up a call from a subordinate. The other party said something and he was startled. “The cars are heading towards the airport?”
Huo Zhi took a quick glance at him.
The bald man said into the phone, “I got it. Follow them.”
“What happened? Huo Zhi extinguished his cigarette in the ashtray.
The bald man answered respectfully, “Lu Chengzhou’s cars are heading towards the airport. They seem to be leaving Jijing Island.” He paused, then he added, “Ms. Gu is with them.”
“They’re in such a hurry. Something must have happened in the Lu family,” Huo Zhi said firmly before getting up and adjusting his collar.
The bald man looked at him. “Sir, shall we head over and have a look as well?”
Huo Zhi did not answer him. He just walked out. The bald man followed quickly behind.
…
Lu Chengzhou, Gu Mang, and the others checked in quickly. The sky was already pitch black.
Gu Mang looked at the boarding pass in Lu Yī’s hand as she thought.
Qin Fang raised his eyebrows in disbelief. “I didn’t expect the process to be so smooth.”
They thought that they would face a lot of trouble at the airport since they were bringing Gu Mang back with them. The airport staff had sent them to the private jet without any incident.
They had just gotten out of the vehicle taking them to the plane when suddenly there was a loud noise.
Thump! The entire airport lit up brightly. Several high beam lights shone onto Lu Chengzhou, Gu Mang, and the others.
A large number of black uniformed subordinates with guns appeared from all sides. Their footsteps could be heard throughout the airport. There was a golden sun emblem on their chest plates.
They worked for the Gu family.
Qin Fang and He Yidu glanced at the people in black who were surrounding them then they glanced at each other and frowned.
Lu Yi and the other subordinates looked vigilant and they quickly formed a protective circle around Lu Chengzhou and the others. They had their hands on each other’s waists.
An old man in a Chinese tunic suit was in the crowd. He had his hands behind his back and he was surrounded by his subordinates as he walked over slowly.
When the old man was a few steps away from Lu Yī and the others, he stopped, bent over, and saluted. “Young Lady.”
Gu Mang stood still and her eyes hung low. A solemn aura surrounded her.
Qin Fang folded his arms and laughed. “Elder Gu, are you here to see us off?”
Elder Gu answered politely, “You could say so, but most importantly, we are here to take our Young Lady back.”
Lu Chengzhou tightened his grip around Gu Mang’s hand. At the moment, there was a look of murderous intent that could not be hidden on his face.
Elder Gu looked at Gu Mang with a respectful attitude. “Young Lady, Old Master has been waiting for you.”
Lu Chengzhou slanted his body and pushed Gu Mang behind him.
Lu Chengzhou laughed, his voice soft and low. “You want to keep her here?”
Elder Gu said without sounding humble or overbearing, “Young Master Lu, I know you have some power on Jijing Island now. But what are the odds of winning if you go against the Elders’ Association and the Gu family?”
Jijing Island was neither the capital nor Mingyu Island.
How could they let others take Young Lady away on their own territory?
“What’s more.” Elder Gu smiled. “You have already completed your departure procedures. If anything happens, it has nothing to do with Jijing Island.”
With that, he looked at the people behind him.
They were some of the Gu family’s best soldiers and they were all equipped with explosives.
