There was nothing new hearing a family mber wanting to harm another when it cos to money. However, Su Xiaofei guessed that most people forgot how to be human first and be ambitious second. As for Lu Qingfeng, she didn't want to think that he would break his promise to her, as it was out of his character.
"I believe in him, Qian." She repeated herself, but it sounded like she was trying to remind herself. "I could feel that he is still alive sowhere."
Lu Qingfeng might have suspected sothing and had made a drastic decision to do this. Plus, if his life was really in danger, Su Xiaofei didn't doubt that Chairman Lu would summon her at once, just like what he had done in her previous life.
"Are you afraid, Miss Su?" Zhang Lan's sudden question caught Su Xiaofei off guard.
Su Xiaofei froze in her seat and blinked twice. Was she afraid? Of course she was! The re thought of Lu Qingfeng being hurt was enough for her to lose her cool.
"Yes." She replied honestly, seeing her hands trembling as she held her cup. "I must be. We're talking about Lu Qingfeng here."
She hadn't felt this kind of fear since her rebirth, and she hated this feeling of being so helpless. If only she could hear Lu Qingfeng's voice right now to ease her worries. She wouldn't be able to calm down until they were certain that he was alright.
Zhang Lan seed pleased with their miss's answer. This only ant that Su Xiaofei greatly valued their master's life, and not only showing this concern because of the things she would lose if Lu Qingfeng died.
It wasn't a secret among Lu Qingfeng's elite guards that their master adored this woman and if things went as planned, it wouldn't be too long until Su Xiaofei was married to their young master and would be nad as their madam.
Zhang Lan wondered how this would affect their master's relationship with Su Xiaofei. She also wanted to believe that Lu Qingfeng was still alive, as the unusual silence that they received from the Lu family was suspicious.
She felt like they were being left out because they weren't inford of what was happening as she and her sister couldn't get a decent answer or explanation when they made an inquiry on Su Xiaofei's behalf.
"I see, then let's just hope that you are right, Feifei." Xi Qian answered after giving her best friend's words a good thought.
"Thanks, Qian." Su Xiaofei said, "I know he wouldn't like for us to worry like this. Until we receive a solid answer or news about his condition, I can only wait patiently without causing him unnecessary trouble."
Whoever was stalking her today was probably trying to fish out so information from her. It was public knowledge that she was close to Lu Qingfeng to begin with and with the Lu family being secretive of this incident, it only ant that soone was on the edge, hoping that Lu Qingfeng would die.
"Alright. I'm glad that you are at least okay." Xi Qian nodded before turning her attention to Zhang Ling. "Please let know if sothing cos up. I'll try to be here as soon as I possibly can."
How can she not worry about Lu Qingfeng too? It didn't matter if they used to argue in the past. Since Lu Qingfeng had voiced his intention to be with her best friend, he better make sure not to make Feifei cry, especially now that it was obvious that his current position in Feifei's heart was irreplaceable.
Zhang Lan nodded in response. To be honest, she and her sister seed to be searching for a needle in a haystack for answers, but that didn't an they would give up easily. If the Lu family guards were keeping their lips shut, then this only ant that their master was involved in it.
No matter how grave the situation was, their master wouldn't forget Su Xiaofei. He would surely try to seek her in any way and perhaps, he was just biding ti to do it. He must have known that Miss Su was being followed by others by now.
As this realization dawned on her, Zhang Lan excused herself and gestured for her younger sister to follow her using her eyes.
Zhang Ling easily understood what her sister wanted and decided to leave Su Xiaofei in Xi Qian's company.
"What is it? Do you know how we could contact Mr. Nine and Miss Katarina?" She asked the elder Zhang, once she shut the door of the pantry, intending to get another cup of coffee for herself.
"Ling'er, since the Master has assigned us to protect Miss Su, we cannot lower our guards now." Zhang Lan said with all seriousness that startled her younger sister.
Zhang Ling knew how cool and calm her sister's personality was, however, right now, there was a glint of fire in Zhang Lan's eyes that showed how serious she was. Did her sister realize sothing?
Zhang Ling's back straightened like a rod as she waited for her sister to explain herself.
"The victory isn't clear until the very last mont." Zhang Lan replied. "Even if it's just a tiny, uncertain hope, we can't give up."
These were the words Lu Qingfeng used to say whenever he and their team were encountering an obstacle. No matter if it was family affairs or business problems, Lu Qingfeng would always remain calm regardless if the situation wasn't favorable to him.
"Our master is facing great difficulty right now, and he couldn't be here to reassure Miss Su. Our job here is to make sure that she will be safe and healthy until they et again." Zhang Lan continued, her eyes softening as she thought of how Su Xiaofei had been missing Lu Qingfeng over the past five years.. If Su Xiaofei wasn't in love with their master, then she must be a good actor to be able to deceive everyone's eyes for a long ti.
