Chapter 511 Separated by a Thousand Miles, Life and Death Uncertain

"...I will now follow Miss Wen Ni's arrangements completely."

What could Qin Yuan do?

With Master Lu not around, you can't go wrong by listening to Madam!

"You're sensible." Wen Ni smiled slightly.

The gloomy sky finally decided to let the rain fall.

The rain poured down in a continuous stream, cascading from the window sill and pooling into meandering rivulets that murmured incessantly. Occasionally, a passing car would speed by, splashing water onto the window, which would then flow back down, creating a cycle that sent a chill down one's spine…

Lu Jinye sat facing the window.

The hand gripping the phone so tightly that the knuckles turned white.

He lowered his eyes, staring at the chat interface with Qin Yuan, motionless!

The conference table behind me was still a mess, a complete mess.

"Barron, go buy plane tickets to Hong Kong right now."

"Huh? Aren't we leaving tomorrow morning?" Baron, who was sorting through the documents, was stunned for a moment, but he quickly took out his phone, flipped through it several times, and made a few calls. His expression was a little stiff. "Mr. Lu, just an hour ago, all flights and high-speed trains to Hong Kong were suspended."

“Then let’s drive there.” Lu Jinye’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he stood up and grabbed his coat.

“But Mr. Lu…” Baron blocked Lu Jinye’s way, “Didn’t Qin Yuan say that Miss Wen Ni is alright?”

"This message wasn't sent by Qin Yuan; Wen Ni is lying to me." Lu Jinye tossed his phone to Baron, his voice cold and stern. "Qin Yuan has never been so organized when sending messages, so organized that she doesn't even miss a single punctuation mark!"

“If Miss Wen Ni is lying to you, then there’s only one possibility.” Baron’s expression was more grave than ever before. “The situation in Hong Kong is far more serious than we imagined!”

Lu Jinye tacitly agreed with Baron's words, and stepped forward. "Beituo, Xiyun, the rest is up to you."

"Don't worry, Mr. Lu, we can handle the rest of this little trouble!"

Xi Yun and Bei Tuo responded.

"I'll go arrange a car!" Barron chased after him. "I'll contact the port area again and tell them to prepare as soon as possible!"

"Um."

A few minutes later, several black cars drove out of the Lu Group's underground parking lot and sped off towards the road out of the city in the rain and thunder!

“Mr. Lu, you’re right. News has come from Hong Kong that the Huashang University has been sealed off. The entire city of Hong Kong is under martial law, with no one allowed to enter or leave.”

"Contact Elder Wei and ask him to help make arrangements. I must get into the city today and take Wen Ni away."

"yes!"

The atmosphere inside the car was tense.

Suddenly, a blinding headlight pierced through the windshield! The light shone on the rain-soaked window as it rapidly approached!

"It's a van! Signal quickly!!"

Barron exclaimed in surprise and reached for the steering wheel on the driver's side!

But the distance was too close.

There was a loud bang!

The two vehicles collided.

The car was hit and flipped several times on the ground before finally coming to a stop with its wheels facing upwards, crashing into the guardrail...

The deformed car door was squeezed open

The arm wearing the gold watch hung limply at its side.

Blood flowed down his arm, merging into the meandering rain stream, washing away even the scorching heat and becoming as pure as rainwater.

It was freezing cold, bone-chilling!

The gold bullet casing necklace hung there, the red of the chain so vibrant and lustrous that it was hard to tell whether it was the red of the chain itself or the red of blood that had seeped into it…

"Master Lu...Master Lu!!"

Barron, who had been thrown from the car, stumbled to his feet. Ignoring his broken left arm and the pain from exposed bones, he frantically rushed to the back of the vehicle and, together with the bodyguards who followed closely behind, desperately tried to lift the car, which had been deformed in the torrential rain!

Shouts filled the entire rainy night!

On a secluded side street, a dilapidated van was parked.

The passenger in the front passenger seat, a cigar dangling from his lips, crossed his legs and rested them on the center console, gazing at the chaotic crowd on the main road. He leaned slightly forward, revealing his azure eyes, which were filled with coldness and shrewdness.

"Not bad, that was a very precise hit."

"Of course, my men have experience with this." The man in the driver's seat had a fierce look on his face, and a smug expression. "I was quite disappointed that we couldn't just run over that old guy Lu Jianxun!"

"It's no fun just running someone over and killing them," the blue-eyed man waved his hand. "What we want is a fate worse than death."

"Why don't we take this opportunity to kill Lu Jinye?" The man in the driver's seat asked fiercely. "This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance!"

“Lu Jinye has too many people protecting him, and the police are watching him too. Do you think we can get away with killing him? Our mission this time is just to prevent him from leaving Gotham City. As for the rest… don’t go looking for trouble.” The man’s blue eyes curved into a smile as he chuckled softly. “Besides, Master said that Lu Jinye can’t die so easily. Master wants Lu Jinye to watch as the people he cherishes most leave him one by one. Then torture him, make him live in unbearable pain, just like Master… and me!”

"It seems the master's plan is about to be realized," the fierce man said.

"Yes, Master's plan is about to be realized, and I will finally get the freedom I want!" Cigar ash fell out of the window, the car started, and drove away silently.

The siren of the ambulance kept blaring.

You can hear it clearly even in the dormitory of the Gangcheng Huashang University.

"The CDC just pulled a few more students away from the medical building. I heard they all vomited blood and their eyes rolled back!"

"Really? That's terrifying?"

Inside the water room, the students were filled with anxiety.

Wen Ni filled a pot with water and turned to leave when she suddenly felt something slip on her neck and fell down.

As she looked down, she saw that the bullet-shaped necklace that Lu Jinye had given her had broken and fallen straight into the water trough!

Breathing pause

Without thinking, she reached out and fished the necklace out of the still-hot water!

“Lu Jinye…”

"Wen Ni? Are you crazy? This is so hot!" Mu Yang, who was also there to fetch water, was shocked when he saw her actions.

"Please take this kettle back for me, thank you." After saying that, Wen Ni hurriedly headed towards the corner of the corridor, clutching the necklace.

The night was quiet, the ambulance wailed, and no one answered the phone.

Lu Jinye never fails to answer her calls.

Something must have happened!

"Hello? Beituo?"

"Hello? Miss Wen Ni?"

It was quiet on the other end of the phone, but Wen Ni heard Bei Tuo yawn.

"Where's Lu Jinye? And Baron? Why aren't they answering my calls?"

"Ah~ Mr. Lu has been busy with the group's affairs lately and hasn't slept for several days. He just entered the lounge and must have fallen asleep. He was sleeping too soundly to hear us. As for Baron... I'm not too sure. He was probably too tired and fell asleep too?"

"Is that so?" Wen Ni's heart, which had been clenched with anxiety, eased slightly. Perhaps she was being too sensitive.

"Of course~ Or should I go wake up Master Lu now?"

"No need, let him get some sleep."

"Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up now?"

"Yes, I'm sorry to disturb your rest."

"No, no, I just finished working overtime too!"

After exchanging pleasantries, Bei Tuo hung up the phone. The forced smile on his face vanished instantly. He turned around, pushed open the emergency door, and walked back into the noisy hospital emergency room.

Looking at the three large characters "Operation in Progress," his eyes reddened with anxiety, filled with worry...
