In the car, Lu Jinxuan turned on his phone. Imdiately, nurous text ssage notifications popped up, all from missed calls, and all from Yu Sangwan.
"Tch, little girl... Missing already?" Lu Jinxuan chuckled softly, his lips curling with warmth. He put on his headphones and dialed Yu Sangwan’s number. But this ti, her phone was turned off.
Lu Jinxuan frowned, thinking perhaps her phone had run out of battery. He switched numbers and dialed the landline at their residence. When no one answered on the first try, Lu Jinxuan could still reassure himself that maybe the little girl was asleep and didn’t hear it? On the second try, maybe she didn’t run fast enough?
But after dialing four or five tis, there was still no answer!
Feeling an ominous premonition, Lu Jinxuan yanked off his headphones and tossed them onto the passenger seat, slamd down the accelerator, and raced back like a madman.
Back at the residence, it was warm inside, but... the place was empty inside and out, nowhere to be seen was Yu Sangwan. Her phone couldn’t be reached; where could she go? This is Antarctica, a barren land where nothing grows!
His temples throbbed; Lu Jinxuan felt like he was going insane. This feeling of not being able to see her left his heart desolate!
Chapter 141 Blood for Blood
Lu Jinxuan tried his best to remain calm and imdiately dialed the base’s phone number.
"I... find soone for !"
"Yes, Young Master."
After hanging up, Lu Jinxuan had soone transfer the call to Gong Xueyan.
Gong Xueyan was surprised to receive Lu Jinxuan’s call, "Lu Jinxuan? You’re calling ? Have you considered it... My suggestion isn’t bad, you know? We were ant to be together! Since you took the initiative to contact , I’ll generously let bygones be bygones..."
"Shut up!" Lu Jinxuan’s anger was overwhelming, his forehead veins bulging—he hadn’t called her to listen to this nonsense. "What did you do to Wanwan?"
"What?" Gong Xueyan paused, then realized who he ant by ’Wanwan,’ sneering, "What, did your little lover tattle on you so soon? She definitely has the makings of a mistress, being so delicate and pitiful, isn’t she?"
"You!" Lu Jinxuan didn’t need to ask further; he knew it had to be related to Gong Xueyan. "Listen, if she suffers in the slightest, I’ll make you pay! I’m telling the truth!"
With that, he hung up with a ’bang.’
Even over the phone, Gong Xueyan could feel the fierce killing intent emanating from Lu Jinxuan! Having witnessed and experienced it since childhood, Gong Xueyan knew well that Lu Jinxuan was absolutely serious. But why did he say such words?
What had happened? Could it be...
Startled by her own thoughts, Gong Xueyan rushed out the door. "Soone!"
Her subordinate ca over and reported the matter truthfully, "Miss Gong, according to your instructions, we’ve led the young lady away. We currently don’t know where she is; the Young Master has ordered a full search! It has already begun."
Gong Xueyan collapsed heavily onto the chair. That girl... could she really be in trouble? This is Antarctica!
Rembering Lu Jinxuan’s fierce words earlier made her shiver...
Amidst the snow, Lu Jinxuan stood tall. Despite the cold and harsh climate, it didn’t diminish his deanor in the slightest.
"Young Master." A subordinate stood behind him, "We’ve contacted various bases from other countries; they say they’ll fully cooperate!"
Lu Jinxuan gave a slight nod, "Alright."
His identity had always been kept under wraps because the ti wasn’t right. But this ti, to find Yu Sangwan, he had to use it.
Ti ticked by, though it hadn’t been long since he discovered Yu Sangwan’s disappearance, Lu Jinxuan felt as though centuries had passed! For such a long ti, could Wanwan have encountered danger? What if she were attacked by beasts... Lu Jinxuan closed his eyes, unable to imagine.
Footsteps crunched behind him as Gong Xueyan jumped from the car and ran towards him.
"Lu Jinxuan!" Gong Xueyan called out, visibly worried, "How is it? Is there any news?"
Lu Jinxuan glared at her with hatred and mockery in his eyes, "Isn’t this exactly what you wanted? The noble daughter of the Gong Family, so hypocritical?"
"I..." Gong Xueyan paused, countering, "Yes, I approached her, but I rely inford her of the truth! We are indeed going to be engaged; isn’t it better for her to realize it sooner? That girl seems so naive; I’m worried she’ll fall too deeply!"
Lu Jinxuan smirked, his thin lips tightly pursed, "The one who needs to wake up is you! The only thing you can do now is pray she’s alright!"
Gong Xueyan thought she had lowered herself enough, yet she received such accusations from Lu Jinxuan. Her blood boiled instantly, "Lu Jinxuan, what kind of attitude is this? You’re treating like this for a little lover? I’m supposed to be your fiancée!"
Lu Jinxuan’s mind was fully occupied with thoughts of Yu Sangwan, unwilling to waste words with her.
Seeing him remain silent, Gong Xueyan pressed on, "Lu Jinxuan! Don’t you dare push the bla on ! What I told her was the truth! Yes, I had soone deliberately lead her away, to prevent her from reaching the base. What of it? Would you rather she find you and disrupt the broadcast? Is it my fault she doesn’t even know how to find her way back?"
"What?"
Lu Jinxuan abruptly opened his eyes, glaring at Gong Xueyan with fury. He initially thought Yu Sangwan had left in anger but hadn’t expected this additional layer! Wanwan hadn’t blindly believed Gong Xueyan’s provocations; she went out to find him.
Yet, this malicious woman... intended to kill Wanwan!
"You!"
Losing control, Lu Jinxuan raised his hand and firmly gripped Gong Xueyan’s throat, targeting her vital spot!
"Ugh!" Gong Xueyan was stunned, never anticipating Lu Jinxuan would actually strike. "Lu, Lu..."
The subordinate witnessing this was terrified, "Y-Young Master... You can’t do this!"
But Lu Jinxuan wasn’t listening at all, his eyes blood-red with an intent to kill Gong Xueyan!
"Young Master!" Suddenly, a subordinate shouted behind him, "There’s news!"
Regaining a brief mont of clarity, Lu Jinxuan’s wrist twitched, and he forcefully let go of Gong Xueyan. She coughed violently, clutching her neck, and slid far across the ground, "Cough, cough... cough, cough..."
"What news?"
Lu Jinxuan turned and walked towards the helicopter, asking as he went.
"There’s been a disturbance among a group of beasts. They don’t act this way without reason, so we suspect it’s..." The subordinate saw Lu Jinxuan’s increasingly grim expression and felt the chilling aura around him, slowly stopping midway, not daring to continue.
Lu Jinxuan closed his eyes briefly; he alone knew that beneath his seemingly calm exterior, he was burnt and ruined inside! The worst possible outco was before him; yet... he’d heard this report! If Wanwan were attacked by beasts, she might not survive!
"Quick."
He uttered one word, containing all the anxiety and unease within it.
The subordinate calmly reported, "We’ve sent professionals to disperse them, but no one has been found yet... The area is quite large, so it’ll take so ti to search."
Lu Jinxuan clenched his fists tightly, sweat glistening in his palms, and also at his temples. Damn it, why did he bring her here?
"Young Master, it’s in this area; you..." The subordinate didn’t dare ask.
But Lu Jinxuan was ready to go down, "Give !"
The subordinate imdiately handed him the tranquilizer gun; offensive weapons couldn’t be used, only this special tranquilizer gun for animals.
The helicopter landed, and Lu Jinxuan surveyed the white world, suddenly feeling a sense of defeat for the first ti, unable to control the situation. His little lover... Wanwan, hold on. I’m here! Hold on until I find you! Please, don’t let anything happen!
Out of nowhere, Lu Jinxuan rembered many years ago when his little fiancée’s family fell.
He received the news and rushed over, but by the ti he arrived, her ho was already empty. He wanted to save her, but it was too late...
