"Where are mom and Aunt Tao?"
Ye Shaowen: "They went to the suburb early in the morning to shop for ingredients, said they’re making hot pot for dinner tonight. You think everyone’s as lazy as you, sleeping until nine o’clock."
"Oh~"
Ye Xian washed her face and looked over at the breakfast he made, "Second Brother’s cooking is amazing, but I overslept today and need to rush to work, can’t stay for breakfast!"
"No way!"
"No way."
Both Ye Shaowen’s and Ye Juncheng’s voices chid in.
Ye Xian: "..."
Ye Juncheng: "No matter how busy work is, you need to have breakfast on ti, or it’s bad for your health."
Ye Shaowen: "Exactly, and I got up early to make it for you. Are you not appreciative at all?"
So, under the watchful eyes of her two brothers, Ye Xian obediently finished her breakfast and, like a child, had her mouth wiped by the adults before she was allowed to leave.
Ye Xian shook her head, both amused and helpless. Did her brothers see her as only three and a half years old?
The nanny car had been waiting outside the villa for a long ti. As soon as she got in, Ye Xian instinctively called out for Xiao Lu, but to her surprise, no one answered. Only the driver and the four bodyguards in the back seat were there.
"Mr. Ye, good morning!"
"Where’s Xiao Lu?"
"Xiao Lu..."
The four looked at each other and shook their heads, "We haven’t seen her this morning. Maybe she went to the event venue early?"
Went ahead?
That’s impossible. Xiao Lu always cos along with her in the car, reporting the schedule and heading to the event together.
Thinking of this, she picked up her phone and dialed Zhou Lu’s number. It rang for a long ti without being answered, and instead, Jiang Wen called, "Hello, Ye Xian? Haven’t you arrived at the event venue yet? The organizers are rushing ."
"I’m on my way. By the way, Brother Jiang, did Xiao Lu go to the company today?"
"Xiao Lu, no, she’s not with you?"
"It’s nothing."
Ye Xian ended the call, thinking of Zhou Lu living alone in Jiayuan District, what if sothing happened...
"Li Feng, go check on Xiao Lu’s house. We’ll head to the event first, and if you find Xiao Lu, let know."
"Got it!"
The car reached the event site without seeing any trace of Zhou Lu, and there was no news from Li Feng. Ye Xian began to fret, her mind not entirely on the comrcial shoot. After finishing the first take, Li Feng called, "Mr. Ye, no one is at Xiao Lu’s ho. The property manager said she went to work as usual in the morning but hasn’t co back since."
Hasn’t co back, could sothing have happened on the way?
Ye Xian started to panic but didn’t have ti to think before a call ca in, showing: Xiao Lu
She imdiately felt relieved and answered, "Xiao Lu, where did you go? I was worried sick not seeing you this morning, I thought sothing happened to you..."
A young man’s clear voice, with a slight tension, ca through, inexplicably pleasant and charming. It was a long-lost feeling, hearing his voice still so captivating, even Cheng Zidong’s usual fierce tone softened, "Ye Xian, long ti no see."
A man’s voice?
Ye Xian froze, "Who are you? Why do you have Xiao Lu’s phone?"
"You don’t rember ? That’s a bit heartbreaking..."
Cheng Zidong unhappily lit a cigarette. Everyone he gave a glance would rember him fondly, yet she, after even racing, forgot him.
But that’s okay. He enjoys challenges, and she instigates his desire to conquer.
"F1 Circuit, Cheng Zidong."
F1 Circuit, Cheng Zidong?
Ye Xian frowned, still unable to recall who he was, "Stop the nonsense. Where’s Xiao Lu? What do you actually want?"
"Ahem!"
He even stated his na, and she still didn’t rember?!
Cheng Zidong coughed from being choked on smoke, this girl, so heartless, but being scolded by her felt oddly satisfying!
"You want to see your little assistant, right? I’ll let her speak with you."
Cheng Zidong glanced at Zhou Lu, who was tied to a pole with a cloth stuffed in her mouth, struggling desperately. One of his n removed the cloth from her mouth, and once freed, Zhou Lu cried and shouted, "Brother Ye! Brother Ye! Don’t mind , call the police! They’re just a bunch of thugs!"
Zhou Lu had barely said a sentence before her mouth was stuffed again. Cheng Zidong squinted, pinching her chin, "Watch your mouth, little miss, don’t tarnish my image in front of my treasure!"
"Xiao Lu!"
Ye Xian panicked hearing Zhou Lu’s cries, "What did you do to Xiao Lu? Let her go! Tell what you want, I can et your demands!"
"Really?"
Cheng Zidong’s eyes lit up. He didn’t expect Luo Yuwei to be truthful; Ye Xian was really loyal, even willing to go this far for a little assistant. But if he outright stated his desire for her, she probably wouldn’t co, right?
At the chilly cliff pavilion, Cheng Zidong looked down at the perilous, winding mountain road of the Tartaros Race Track, snuffing out his cigarette, "Tartaros Race Track, starting point 13. Your assistant and I will be waiting for you here."
Tartaros Race Track?
Isn’t that the infamous ’Purgatory on Earth’ crash death zone?
He...
Ye Xian suddenly rembered who he was, Cheng Zidong, the man she t at the F1 circuit after being ’banned,’ covered in unruly tattoos, not a good person. Why did he kidnap Xiao Lu? Was he unsatisfied losing to her last ti and wanted to race again?
The Tartaros natural track is incredibly dangerous, the ultimate challenge location for death-defying racers, where a slight misstep could lead to death. If she doesn’t go, Xiao Lu...
In a flash, Bo Tingshen’s words passed through Ye Xian’s mind: "Call the mont you’re in danger."
"Alright, don’t touch Xiao Lu, I’m on my way."
"Great, but..." Cheng Zidong glanced at Zhou Lu, pulling out the cloth from her mouth, "You must not call the police, nor bring any bodyguards or anyone else, or else, I’ll push your little assistant off the cliff!"
"Ahhhh help, no!"
Zhou Lu looked at the unfathomable abyss below, and the fear made her burst into tears and snot, Ye Xian heard her desperate cries, and her mind went blank, unable to process anything, "Alright, alright, I promise I won’t bring anyone. Just don’t hurt Xiao Lu, I’ll be there soon!"
Ending the call, Ye Xian looked at the first na in her contact list, steeled herself, and put the phone away.
Xiao Lu is still so young, she can’t gamble with her life.
To avoid the bodyguards, Ye Xian pretended to go to the restroom, then took a taxi to the Tartaros Race Track.
