“You are right, Boss,” the man’s subordinate said before departing.
Chen Xuyao had booked a plane ticket immediately after receiving the call. Then, he reported that matter to the Chen and Liang families. The thing that he was most concerned about had finally occurred, but he had no idea who had kidnapped Chu Sheng.
After Chen Xuyao boarded the plane, the Liang family received a notification from another party that they had also captured Jiang Yao. Since they could not contact Lu Xingzhi, they contacted the Liang family.
Chen Xuyao had told them that Chu Sheng had been captured, and then they received word that Jiang Yao had also been taken. Mr. Liang was so angry that he almost flipped the table.
Someone called the army base in Luo City. Then, Mr. Liang confirmed that Jiang Yao had been kidnapped during the day. Mr. Liang was even more furious and questioned the other party over the phone—why did they not inform him immediately?
The incident was an urgent one. After Mr. Liang received the news, he brought Liang Yueze to Luo City. However, they were almost half a day behind Chen Xuyao. As soon as they boarded the plane, Chen Xuyao had already landed.
Chen Xuyao did not know that someone had been following him. He had just gotten off the plane when the call came in, a few minutes after he switched on his phone.
“Fifth Young Master Chen, it appears that Miss Chu is very important to you.”
“Twill give you 20 minutes. Go to the top floor of the largest hotel in Luo City. If we don’t see you in 20 minutes, I will have Miss Chu jump from the hotel’s top floor. Fifth Young Master Chen, remember, you only have 20 minutes.”
Then, the man quickly hung up the phone. Chen Xuyao almost went crazy before he hailed a cab. After getting into the cab, the first thing he said was to go to the largest hotel in the city. It did not matter if he did not know where it was, as long as the cab driver knew.
After getting into the cab, the second thing he said was to get him there within 20 minutes.
When the driver heard that, he immediately stomped his feet and said, “Sir, this is the airport, not the city. Even if it’s the city, it’s not in the same area. You want me to fly there in 20 minutes? The largest hotel in our city is new. It’s an imported government project, and it’s considered the city’s gem. The
hotel has been open for more than half a year. Going to that hotel for a meal and staying for the night has become everyone’s dream in this country. Do you know how high the hotel is? It is 28-stories tall. It’s the tallest building in the city, and it’s very iconic.”
The driver started to chatter non-stop, but Chen Xuyao’s brows furrowed even tighter when he heard that.
“Stop the car!” Chen Xuyao suddenly said.
The driver did not expect that, so he slammed on the brakes. Chen Xuyao, who was sitting in the back seat, almost hit his head on the seat in front of him.
The car had not completely stopped when Chen Xuyao opened the door and got out. Before the driver could react, Chen Xuyao walked to the driver’s seat and opened the door from the outside. He pulled the driver out of his seat and casually took a stack of money from his bag, and threw it to the driver.
He quickly said, “Take the money and take a cab to that hotel. I’m borrowing your car. Take the money as rent.. I’ll drive the car to that hotel, and you can pick it up there! ”
