1198 Connected Hearts

What an idiot.

s.h.i.+ Yang looked at his phone with an extremely cold expression on his face.

With this one call, all of his previous efforts were now in vain. He did not need to think to know that his current position had been pinpointed.

At this time, he should have been at home in Fenghu Peninsula.

!!

He raised his head and looked out the window again.

Looking at the time, he estimated that they must have already started up the hill.

It was a pity because he did not want to get involved in this.

However, it seemed like there was no other choice.

It seemed as if a long time had pa.s.sed, but it also seemed like an instant. s.h.i.+ Yangs eyes narrowed, and he returned to his usual gentle look.

However, there was a hint of bone-chilling coldness between his brows, as if a certain resolution had been made.

He changed his shoes, put his phone on the cabinet, and went out.

Soon, a silver-gray car drove away and disappeared into the rain.

The black sports car sped past, making splashes in the rain.

The man in the drivers seat had a cold expression on his face, and his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.

His phone rang. He glanced at it and quickly picked it up.

h.e.l.lo, he said.

Lu Er, Ive sent someone to confirm that s.h.i.+ Yang is not in his home in Fenghu Peninsula. Also, his a.s.sistant, Song Miao, was summoned by the police not too long ago. Apparently, it was due to the matter of the fake painting.

Gu Tinglan frowned.

Im at the Public Security Bureau right now, and Ive told them about Ah Lis disappearance. Song Miao said that s.h.i.+ Yang only told him to tell everyone that he was staying at home the whole day, but he didnt know where he has actually gone. However, before he came to the bureau, he called s.h.i.+ Yang, and it showed that s.h.i.+ Yang was indeed in Jingye Villa.

Lu Huaiyu looked at the villa in front of him and stepped on the brakes. The car immediately stopped, and the tires screeched as they sc.r.a.ped against the ground.

He unbuckled his seat belt and said in a deep voice, Ive already arrived.

He quickly got out of the car.

With a bang, the car door closed.

When Gu Tinglan heard the voice from the other end, he was suddenly stunned.

Despite the heavy rain, the sound of the brakes and the door closing could still be clearly heard.

His heart skipped a beat.

Lu Er, did you drive your own car?!

Lu Huaiyu strode to the front of the villa.

The rain quickly wet his hair and s.h.i.+rt, making his eyes look even darker.

Hearing what Gu Tinglan said, he only replied with a faint Hmm.

The entire villa was quiet, and the door was tightly shut.

He took half a step back before suddenly raising his leg!

Bang!

The door to the villa was kicked open by him!

When Gu Tinglan heard this, he suddenly came back to her senses.

Lu Er! You cant

At this point, he suddenly stopped.

Cant what?

Lu Huaiyu could not drive, yet he had already done so!

And in the current situation

Lu Huaiyu entered the villa and quickly looked around.

It was clean and tidy, without the slightest sound.

Suddenly, his eyes focused on a cell phone that was placed on the cabinet.

He picked it up and glanced at it. It had already been turned off.

This seemed to belong to s.h.i.+ Yang?

He clenched his fists and continued to walk further in.

There were only two teacups on the coffee table in the living room.

One cup was half full, while the other was empty.

When he touched it, he found that it was completely cold, but no one was there.

Gu Tinglan felt as if something was clenching his heart as he listened to the sounds.

Second Lu, whats the situation like? Wheres Ah Li?

Lu Huaiyu straightened his body and fixed his gaze on the fish tank not far away.

At the bottom, a familiar phone lay quietly.

His heart sank completely.

Shes not here.

What!

Lu Huaiyu did not say anything. He walked over and took the phone out.

The screen was cracked, and there was an obvious b.u.mp mark at the corner. That mark had to have been caused by a heavy fall to the ground.

Gu Tinglans brows were tightly locked together. He said anxiously, How could she not be there? Didnt you say that this was the location that she sent you? And s.h.i.+ Yang, hes

That was earlier.

Lu Huaiyus voice was cold.

He was still a step too late.

Gu Tinglans voice stopped abruptly. Then, a deeper sense of uneasiness and worry welled up from the bottom of his heart.

Then, you mean to say

Ah Lis car isnt here.

Lu Huaiyu closed his eyes.

Neither she nor s.h.i.+ Yang was not here. Her phone had been thrown into the fish tank, and s.h.i.+ Yang had put his phone on the cabinet at the entrance.

It was obvious that she had encountered some kind of threat and had been forced to lose contact with him.

As for s.h.i.+ Yang, he must have realized something was wrong after receiving Song Miaos call, so he had left his phone there on purpose.

Lu Huaiyus eyebrows twitched.

s.h.i.+ Yang was so straightforward that he did not even mind his phone being discovered. It could only mean

He had the intention to kill!

Lu Er? Lu Er!

Gu Tinglans nervousness increased when he did not hear any movement from the other end for a long time.

Lu Huaiyu lowered his head slightly, his eyelashes trembling.

His heart was beating uncontrollably, and his ears were ringing.

Where was she?

Where would s.h.i.+ Yang take her?

Xijing University.

In the conference room of the administration building.

A group of school leaders was having a meeting.

Shen Zhijin sat there as he studied the meeting materials in his hands.

However, for some reason, he could not fully focus on them even after trying several times.

There seemed to be an inexplicable restlessness in his heart, making him unable to calm down.

He looked outside. The wind was very strong as the rain continually hit against the gla.s.s.

Zhijin? Zhijin?

Zhang Yao, who was sitting beside him, called him twice in a loud whispered until he came back to his senses.

Whats wrong?

Zhang Yao frowned slightly.

Zhijin, you seem a little out of it. Are you feeling unwell?

Shen Zhijin rarely became distracted on such occasions. However, he did not seem to be in a good state today.

Shen Zhijin paused and shook his head.

He took out his phone and sent Shen Li a message.

[ Ah Li, is there anything else you want to eat besides the crispy peach pie? Ill buy them at the same time. ]

After sending this message, he waited for a while, but Shen Li did not reply.

He frowned slightly.

Just then, a phone call came in.

It was from Xu Yin.

Shen Zhijin raised his head and interrupted the meeting.

Im sorry, I need to go out to take a call.

Everyone looked over in surprise.

Shen Zhijin rarely answered the phone during meetings. This was

However, with his status, no one would dare stop him.

Shen Zhijin walked out of the meeting room and went to the corridor. He answered the call.

Elder Xu,

Zhijin, Ah Li said she would come to the laboratory this afternoon. I was wondering why isnt she here yet? Ive called her, but she hasnt been answering, Xu Yin asked curiously.

Shen Zhijin felt his heart stop for a moment.

What?

You dont know either? I was wondering if the girl had something on at the last minute and couldnt come. But if that were the case, she would have told me muttered Xu Yin.

Shen Zhijins body turned cold and the growing uneasiness almost swallowed him whole.

It was at that moment that another call came in.

It was Lu Huaiyu.
