Watching Nanxi’s hurried figure, Lan Qiqi was a bit worried, "Should we call Li Weihuan?"
Yang Su frowned, shaking her head, "No need. What’s the use of telling Li Weihuan? Can he help?"
Lan Qiqi pursed her lips, watching Yang Su rush out of bed. Curious, she asked, "Where are you going?"
Yang Su picked up Nanxi’s laundry basin and said, "I’m going to tackle some of her worries!"
Having said that, she picked up the basin and walked out of the dormitory door!
Nanxi ran all the way to the school gate, waiting for a taxi, but after five minutes she still hadn’t seen one!
She called Liang Qiaoqiao and asked for specifics.
Liang Qiaoqiao said that they had called the police who were now investigating. They had suffered some losses, including cash and a few paintings and calligraphy works, but the precious ones were intact. It seemed that the thief was only after money. This was a blessing in disguise!
Nanxi took a deep breath, calming down a u lot. She told Liang Qiaoqiao that she would be back soon!
After hanging up, Nanxi waited for another two minutes, finally seeing a taxi coming up. She hailed it, got in, and gave the address, urging the driver to go faster. It was then followed by anxious waiting!
However, she suddenly remembered that the shop owned by her uncle had been burgled tonight and had lost a few pieces of artwork. Therefore, shouldn’t Lu Yinchu, the investor of the storefront, be informed?
Should she call Lu Yinchu?!
After hesitating for a while, Nanxi decided to make the call.
In her eyes, Lu Yinchu was first and foremost a businessman. To him, profit was everything. Everything else paled in comparison!
If she failed to inform him at once and he later decided to hold her uncle’s shop or her uncle responsible, what would she do then?
Nanxi took a deep breath, looked for Lu Yinchu’s number in her mobile, and dialed his number!
After a while, the phone was answered by someone on the other end. Nanxi was about to speak when a pleasant woman’s voice came from the other end: "Hello?"
"..." She was a bit startled and thought she had dialed the wrong number, checking her phone -
Though she hadn’t saved the name, she knew the string of numbers by heart!
There was no mistake, it was Lu Yinchu’s number!
"Hello....." Nanxi took a deep breath, placing the phone back on her ear. Trying to sound as steady as she could, she began,"May I speak to Mr. Lu?"
There was a pause on the other end, then the woman spoke,"Wait a minute, Yinchu is in his study, I will bring his mobile to him!"
Nanxi bit her lip and started to wait patiently.
About two minutes later, a deep male voice came from the other end, "Hello!"
"Mr. Lu, hello, this is Gu Nanxi!"
The man on the other end paused for a moment, then asked, "What’s up?"
"..." Nanxi didn’t reply, hesitating!
Lu Yinchu was with a woman and, having mentioned the study, he was obviously at home or in an apartment...
Was her call interrupting something?
Lu Yinchu, having heard a honk from a car, knitted his brows, and asked her, "Where are you now?"
"In a car!" Nanxi replied honestly, "I am on my way to my uncle’s gallery, his shop got burgled tonight. However, the losses are minimal. I called to inform you. There’s nothing more to it for now, so I will hang up. Goodbye, Mr. Lu!"
Nanxi started to hang up, but was stopped by Lu Yinchu’s voice on the other end. She bit her lip and asked, "Mr. Lu, is there anything else?"
"Where are you now? I mean, the exact location..." Lu Yinchu asked.
Confused by his question, Nanxi then heard the sound of a car door slamming shut on the other end. Then, she heard the sound of a car engine starting...
"Mr. Lu..." Nanxi was a bit surprised, "You don’t need to come, it’s not serious. I just called to inform you!"
"Tell me your exact location and, no matter where you are, get out of the car and wait for me!"
Nanxi finally stopped at a bus stop up ahead!
The place on West Street was a bit far from H University. Getting a taxi there late at night wasn’t necessarily dangerous, but it wasn’t entirely safe either!
Sitting on the seat at the bus stop, Nanxi tried to calm her slightly chaotic thoughts. About fifteen minutes later, a black Land Rover slowly entered her sight. She remained sitting and did not get up!
Lu Yinchu opened the car door and got out, walking up to her and taking her hand. Noticing her thin clothes and loose long hair, he gently knitted his brows, smoothly taking off his suit coat and lightly draping it over her shoulders.
"No need, I’m not cold!"
Nanxi moved to decline, but Lu Yinchu overrode her: "Nanxi, don’t try to be brave. Furthermore, this is something any gentleman would do, don’t reject it!"
Was she trying to act tough? Nanxi bit her lip and didn’t continue to resist, simply responding with a light, "Thank you."
Lu Yinchu hummed an acknowledgment, and then, with one hand, took hold of her slightly cool hand, leading her towards his car.
The warmth of his palm enveloping hers made Nanxi feel uncomfortable. She felt like a doll that had been left on the roadside, now being reclaimed by her owner...
It was extremely awkward!
Nanxi yanked at her hand, unsuccessful. Lu Yinchu turned to look at her, his side profile in the night as sharp as a knife, perfect and deep. His deep, black eyes, blurred by the night’s visage, filled with ripples of light. The darkness was like a vortex, drawing her in!
Nanxi felt as if her heart had been gently tapped by someone at some point, producing a ringing "ding——" sound. By the time she snapped back to reality, she had already been pulled up into the car by Lu Yinchu, in the passenger’s seat!
The car started moving. Nanxi bit her lip, trying to control her embarrassment and panic. She started to say, "You can drop me off near West Street. My cousin is there..."
It was clear what Nanxi meant. It was not appropriate for Lu Yinchu to meet Liang Qiaoqiao. Lu Yinchu was once Liang Qiaoqiao’s blind date. Although Liang Youquan and Liang Qiaoqiao may not necessarily know that Lu Yinchu was that man...
But now, late at night, she was with Lu Yinchu and they were seen together which raised many questions. She didn’t want to cause unnecessary trouble for herself!
After pursing his lips, Lu Yinchu finally said, "I have already sent Mo Yan to handle it..."
Nanxi was surprised. Mo Yan was handling it? Then why did he come to see her?
Also, where were they going now?
A buzzing sound from a mobile phone interrupted Nanxi’s words. It was Lu Yinchu’s phone!
"I’m sorry, I need to take a call. We’ll continue our talk after that!"
