Chapter 469: Chapter 466
At last, he left with his people.
The car sped along the suburban road, scenes quickly retreating past the window.
Yes, this was one of Lu Xiao’s plans.
As he delved deeper, he came to know that Li Tingze’s crimes were increasingly severe, and to truly obtain evidence of his murders, he had to make Li Tingze drop his guard and then infiltrate unseen.
Otherwise, whether it be a car accident, a trap-laden banquet, or schemes against Wen Xian, these events would only become more frequent.
Because he was bad enough, evil enough, he wasn’t afraid to commit even more.
Only by making him think he had truly succeeded in wiping him out would he slip up at this moment.
At this time, a subordinate in the car said, “Boss Lu, the airport authority has sent a message, Li Tingze has taken people to Qinghai.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Xiao was silent for a long time until finally, when he spoke again, he said:
“Prepare and find the fastest flight, our people will go there too.”
Speaking of slipping up, he indeed was about to slip up.
He had been so reckless in Beijing, let alone in the west. Only this time it was different; he had already arranged many people in the west, just waiting for Li Tingze to walk into the trap!
Because the earliest flight was the next morning, Lu Xiao returned home first.
When he arrived at his Beijing courtyard house, it was nearly 1 a.m.
The flight was at five, and time was tight, but he still wanted to come back to see, especially since—
He had promised a young woman he would return.
Even if his return was very brief and he had to leave immediately, he had no choice; he had to deal with that domineering, wicked beast.
The west was the final step in ending Li Tingze’s life.
Without casting a long line, how could he catch such a cunning big fish.
When Lu Xiao returned home and went straight to the east wing room—
As he opened the door, all he felt was an empty chill.
His body froze, then he slowly turned on the light, only to see the room’s bed neatly made, with no one there and no signs of it having been slept in.
When Lu Xiao realized what had happened, he saw the lights on in the main house.
Then, the door opened, and his mother appeared in the corridor.
Lu Xiao stood there, staring at his mother, moving his lips, “Mom… Where is she?”
Was she… blaming herself?
Madam Lu walked over, looked him up and down for a while, and finally, seeing her son unharmed, she sighed in relief.
“You, still remembering to ask where your wife went. You disappeared without a word for two days; no wonder she’d be angry.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Xiao was deeply shaken, then swiftly grasped his mother’s arm and asked:
“She left? Where did she go?”
Seeing how anxious he was, Madam Lu quickly reassured him: “Don’t worry, she’s back in Shanghai. It’s best you call her yourself to discuss what happened.”
After all, these were matters between the young couple, and she wasn’t one to intervene, nor would she.
Hearing his mother say that, Lu Xiao’s body stiffened.
He felt that it was indeed because he hadn’t returned in time that she had gotten angry.
His emotions became instantly complex, as though a bottle of spices had been knocked over.
What should he do, what should he say…?
He knew she was angry, that she was sad, but he couldn’t go to find her immediately.
Instead, he was heading to a place even farther from her.
Lu Xiao’s tongue was coated with a bitter taste, and finally, he took out his phone.
