“Momo, do you really think Rong Yan is genuine about finding Anning? She’s a live human who’s gone missing for more than half a month. Yet, he only found out now. That alone is unforgivable,” Mo Qiange said angrily. The mention of Rong Yan made his face turn sullen.
Lu Momo hesitated for a moment and said, “But, we’ll get news sooner if there are more people to join in the search.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely find Anning, but not with Rong Yan’s help!” Mo Qiange sounded calm and stern, yet confident.
Seeing how firm Mo Qiange was, Lu Momo finally felt a little more relieved. She thought about it and realized that Luo Anning had already gone missing for half a month. She could not help but wonder how she was doing and whether or not she was suffering.
She began to get worried again at the thought of it.
…
One hour later, the London information network was infiltrated silently and the hackers had already targeted the section centered on the hotel where Luo Anning had stayed.
Ten minutes later, they found the footage of Luo Anning being abducted at River Thames.
At last, the group of abductors moved to an inn in the suburbs of London.
They watched as the bunch of tall and burly Westerners placed Luo Anning inside the sack, after which a woman stealthily exited the inn again after entering.
“Laurent York!” Mo Qiange barked angrily while punching the table, causing an indent to be formed in the wooden table.
…
In the Marquis York castle in London.
The Marchioness made her way downstairs to get some water. Upon sight of Laurent, she asked, “Laurent, where are you going?”
Laurent smiled at her mother and said, “Mommy, I agreed to go on a drive with my friends tonight.”
Marchioness York frowned, for she had never liked letting Laurent go out for such dangerous activities. Laurent held onto her arm and said coquettishly, “Mommy, we’ve already agreed to meet. I can’t bail on them. I promise I won’t let myself be in danger.”
Marchioness York gave it some thought and Du Xiaoran happened to enter from outside. He suggested, “I think I’ll get Butler Du to go with you. With him around, he’ll remind you to be safe.”
Upon hearing his words, Laurent’s smile stiffened and she said, “It’s alright, Mommy. We’re all girls. It’d be so awkward for him to tag along. Alright, I’m leaving now, Mommy. Goodnight!”
As soon as Laurent finished speaking, she kissed Marchioness York’s cheeks and grabbed her purse to leave.
Du Xiaoran was bewildered to see Laurent running past him. However, he did not ask any questions and instead nodded at Marchioness York before he returned to his bedroom.
As soon as Du Xiaoran entered his bedroom, his mobile phone began to ring. He picked it up to see that it was a Chinese number, after which his heart raced and he immediately answered the call.
At the next second, his face turned sullen and he barked, “What did you say? Where did Anning go!?!”
He hung up the phone and immediately rushed out with the car keys before even changing out of his butler’s uniform. He happened to run into Marchioness York when he went downstairs. She asked, “Butler Du, where are you rushing off to?”
“To look for Miss Laurent!” Du Xiaoran exclaimed while gritting his teeth.
Marchioness York smiled and turned around to go upstairs, feeling rather heartened.
The Bentley sped along the expressway, towards the inn in the suburbs. Flames were ignited within Du Xiaoran.
