The next morning, Lin'an City was bathed in sunlight, with a gentle breeze that brought a cool touch, offering a sense of comfort.
At this mont, Lu Yu and ng Yue were standing in the hall of Lin'an City International Airport, intending to personally see Su Nianxue off as she left Lin'an City.
Watching the bustling Lin'an International Airport, Lu Yu felt little emotion; he had already understood five years ago when he drifted onto a deserted island that there is no such thing as an unending feast. Hence, facing the imminent parting, Lu Yu remained calm.
In contrast to Lu Yu's composure, ng Yue's deanor was quite the opposite. Wearing a police uniform, she appeared spirited and impressive.
Originally, today was her workday, but she arranged for a replacent to accompany Lu Yu and see Su Nianxue off herself.
Despite ng Yue's normally brash and roguish behavior, deep down, she was filled with mixed emotions at a mont like this.
During Su Nianxue's stay in Lin'an City, ng Yue had been living with her all along, forging a strong friendship. Hearing about Su Nianxue's departure left her feeling sowhat lost.
"You seem quite reluctant,"
Noting ng Yue's slightly downcast mood in her police uniform, Lu Yu comnted lightly, a sense of indifference in his words.
"Of course I'm reluctant,"
Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, ng Yue replied, "After all, spending ti together every day, you'd beco attached to even a cat or dog, let alone a living person."
As she spoke, ng Yue looked at Lu Yu, her words tinged with playful reproach: "You on the other hand, act so calm as if nothing's happening, but deep down you're also reluctant to part, aren't you?"
ng Yue joked as she spoke.
"No,"
Lu Yu smiled slightly and replied, "Maybe five years ago, I would feel a bit of loss like you, but now, I'm indifferent to partings."
"After all, there's no such thing as an everlasting feast, if destined, we'll et again one day."
Lu Yu's words were carefree, each phrase filled with a sense of maturity.
After the great adversity faced by the Lu Family five years ago, he no longer approached separations emotionally like ordinary people.
"Oh, listen to you, your words are philosophical,"
ng Yue said with a playful smile after hearing Lu Yu's sowhat steady words.
Just as Lu Yu was about to respond, Su Nianxue's agent ca running over: "Have either of you seen Miss Su?"
The agent was gasping for air, looking quite anxious.
"Wasn't she with you?"
Lu Yu frowned and asked in confusion.
Before Su Nianxue's departure, she still had so last-minute things to handle, so she had been staying with the agent.
"No, I was initially with Miss Su Nianxue, but when I finished handling things, I couldn't find her. I thought she ca to the airport ahead of ti..."
The agent's voice was filled with urgency, looking quite desperate.
In an instant, Lu Yu and ng Yue exchanged a glance, understanding flashing in their eyes.
For a living person to suddenly disappear, Lu Yue and ng Yue concluded that sothing must have happened!
Just as Lu Yu was about to speak,
his phone rang directly at that mont.
Buzz!
The phone's ringtone was urgent and loud, unsettling to hear.
Lu Yu took out his phone and noticed that the number was actually Su Nianxue's!
Seeing this number, Lu Yu picked up imdiately and put the phone to his ear, saying, "Hello?"
"Hello, Mr. Lu Yu, do you miss after our farewell yesterday?"
An eerie and playful voice imdiately ca through the phone, filled with a sinister tone.
"Bai Le!"
Recognizing the voice, Lu Yu instantly identified the caller as Divine Archer Bai Le, who had called him the previous day!
"Oh my!"
Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Bai Le responded in a low voice, coldly saying, "I didn't expect Mr. Lu Yu to recognize my na, I'm truly flattered!"
"Bastard, cut the crap!"
Lu Yu said coldly, "Where is Su Nianxue? You're in this line of work, yet you involve innocent people!?"
Lu Yu's tone revealed a hint of cold killing intent; despite his past hardships making him less emotional, he would never allow anyone to harm those close to him!
Since his parents' deaths, Lu Yu held anyone who made it into his inner circle in high regard, making Bai Le's actions infuriating to him!
"I didn't originally want to involve her, after all, killing her gives no reward!"
Bai Le paused slightly, "However, Mr. Lu Yu, your strength far exceeded my expectations, so in order to complete my task, I naturally have to take so special asures!"
"You bastard!"
Lu Yu said coldly, "What do you want!?"
"Simple!"
Bai Le's voice ca through, "In the suburbs of Lin'an City, there's an unfinished residential area. Co alone, don't bring weapons or anyone else. Once you arrive, I'll release her imdiately!"
Bai Le's words carried a chilling tone, a playful air in every word.
"Fine, you wait for , I'm on my way!"
Lu Yu said coldly, "If you dare touch a hair on her head, I'll make you wish you were dead!"
"Very well then,"
Upon hearing Lu Yu's killing intent-filled words, Bai Le replied, "I shall await your esteed arrival, Mr. Lu!"
With that, Bai Le hung up the phone.
Hearing the busy signal from the phone, Lu Yu's eyes flashed with a cold gleam.
He closed the phone, said a few words to ng Yue and the agent, then drove directly to the location provided by Bai Le.
As the saying goes, "trouble shouldn't reach friends and family," since Bai Le dared to target those close to him, he shouldn't bla Lu Yu for showing no rcy!
