Chapter 391: The First Wave of a.s.sa.s.sins: On The Way Back to The Small Villa

Lu Qi was a step behind him. He lowered his head slightly. “Things are strange on Ms. Gu’s end. After they stepped out of our villa district, none of the surveillance cameras in the city captured any footage of her.”

Now that the capital of Country K was almost fully covered by surveillance cameras, it was actually very easy to find people. But they had almost searched through the entire capital and they still could not find Ms. Gu.

There was only one possibility. Someone must have played with the surveillance camera footage.

Hearing that, Lu Chengzhou frowned. “Have you investigated who hacked into the Skynet surveillance camera system at the police station?”

Lu Qi bit his lip. “Nope. We did not manage to find a single hint.”

Was the person who took Ms. Gu away that powerful?

She had practically vanished into thin air.

Lu Chengzhou’s eyes were heavy and he did not speak. Then, he called Gu Mang on the phone five times. No answer for any of the calls. When he heard the mechanical cold beep from the mobile phone, he stiffened. His breathing was very short and quick as if he could not catch his breath.

He lifted his hand to unb.u.t.ton the first b.u.t.ton on his s.h.i.+rt collar. Hs slender, defined fingers were shaking slightly. When he stepped out of the airport exit, the night breeze blew over his slightly opened top. It was only then that he realized that he had broken out in a cold sweat.

He picked up his phone and said expressionlessly, “Contact Missing Gateway and make him get the intelligence organization to help you out. Finding her is your top priority.”

“Yes,” Lu Qi responded.

Peng Yan opened the door, Lu Chengzhou got into the car, the cold light in his eyes rather fierce.

He removed his mask and reached out his arm. “Hand me the laptop.”

Lu Qi immediately took out the laptop that was concealed under the seat and handed it to Lu Chengzhou. The laptop was quite heavy and it was in pure black.

He took it and put it down on the tray table in the car with his other hand. He switched it on and began typing quickly.

Lu Qi looked from the corner of his eyes warily. The light from the computer shone on the Lu Chengzhou’s face, making him appear vicious. The entire car seemed to be shrouded in a depressive cloud.

He had never seen young master look like that. He had never seen such an expression on the young master’s face, even after shooting someone.

Lu Chengzhou bit an unlit cigarette in his mouth and stared at the screen. His fingers were very swift and a chain of complicated code appeared on screen.

When the car came down from the airport viaduct, the car turned to another road in the direction of the small villa. Lu Chengzhou was still looking at the computer and his hands never stopped typing.

Traffic was nonexistent so the car drove very fast and steadily.

A sharp, piercing sound was suddenly heard and the gla.s.s of the car window on Lu Qi’s side shattered. The top quality bulletproof gla.s.s had been broken in a single shot

Lu Qi’s expression changed drastically and he turned sideways without thinking. He stood up halfway, put his hand on the roof of the car, and stretched his body to block Lu Chengzhou.

Lu Chengzhou subconsciously leaned his head back into the seat.

In the next second, a bullet pierced through Lu Qi’s shoulder and a wound was opened in his shoulder. After pa.s.sing through Lu Qi’s body, the bullet lodged itself in the bulletproof gla.s.s window on Lu Chengzhou’s side.

A powerful sniper rifle. Aimed right at where Lu Chengzhou’s head had been.

The person in the pa.s.senger seat was so frightened that he immediately took out the gun from under the seat. The sniper shot at the car tires. They had a protective layer so it did not burst easily. However, it would not last long.

Peng Yan slammed down the accelerator and sped up. The car flew forward. His driving skills were good and the sniper rifle could not aim easily.

Peng Yan’s face was grave. “What’s going on?”

Someone wanted to kill their big boss?! Are they tired of living?!

No one spoke and the car was dead silent.

Lu Qi was still standing in front of Lu Chengzhou. After the car got clear of the sniper, he turned his head. “Young Master Lu, are you okay?”
