Heartbeat Trap

Rumor has it that Young Master Lu, who avoids women, actively sought out Qi Nuan, who was facing financial difficulties, and signed a marriage contract.

She thought this marriage was merely h...

Chapter 48 I'll Pick You Up

Qi Nuan felt very stressed as Grandpa Lu was watching her.

After a while, she finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Grandpa, don't worry. I may not be able to help him much, but I will never betray him."

"Haha, I feel relieved when you say that. Lu Yin is not the type of guy who would let a woman take risks to help him. You just need to stay by his side and accompany him."

Grandpa Lu patted Qi Nuan's arm, chatted with her for a while about family matters, then said he was tired and asked the housekeeper to help him go in to rest.

Qi Nuan also said goodbye and left the Lu family's old house.

The heater was turned on very high, and Qi Nuan sat in the car for quite a while.

She was once again extremely upset that she had not seized the opportunity to get out earlier. Not only did she have to add another year to her "indenture", but she also had to make a promise in front of the old man.

The sky, which was originally a bit gloomy, began to snow lightly. Because the temperature was still high, the snowflakes melted as they fell. To be more precise, it was raining and snowing.

Qi Nuan started the car and went down the mountain, but his mood became worse as the weather got worse.

With no intention of going home at all, she simply turned the car around and went for a drive along the coastal road.

Probably due to the rain and snow, there were not many vehicles on the road.

Qi Nuan rushed for a long distance and finally felt better.

After parking the car in a sea-view parking lot, she found Lu Yin's number and dialed it.

But the phone rang many times and I couldn't get through until I hung up.

After repeating this three times, Qi Nuan gave up.

She threw her cell phone aside, turned on the car radio, leaned over the steering wheel, stared at the sea view in front of her, and sulked to herself.

After a song ended and the time was announced on the hour, the radio switched to a news report.

"At 11:03 this morning, near Xilan Mountain, an outdoor cyclist reported that a middle-aged man was found dead in a car."

Xilan Mountain? !

Qi Nuan was surprised by the place name and immediately stood up and turned up the volume of the radio.

"After a series of investigations, the police confirmed that the deceased was Tang Yinghai, the executive president of Hongsheng Electronics. Prior to this, Tang Yinghai was being sued by Huaying Auto's general manager, Lu Qianer, for a civil economic dispute, seeking 500 million yuan in outstanding debt."

Hearing another familiar name, Qi Nuan frowned slightly.

"Other sources claim that Hongsheng Electronics suspended Tang Yinghai three days ago, speculating that he embezzled and misappropriated company funds, a claim Tang Yinghai denies. Based on the situation at the scene today, the preliminary diagnosis is that Tang Yinghai committed suicide, but police are still investigating and are not ruling out homicide."

Qi Nuan heard the news move on to the next one, and the host began to report other traffic accident news. She raised her hand to turn off the car radio.

Xilan Mountain is near Lu Yin’s secret manor.

Lu Qianer is Lu Yin's cousin who has a good relationship with him.

Hongsheng Electronics is a wholly-owned brand company under Gu Group, which accounts for more than 70% of Gu Group's main business income.

She tapped her fingers on the steering wheel and let out a long breath.

I hope the news she just heard was just a coincidence.

The sleet gradually stopped, and there was no snow on the road, just wet.

It was almost evening when Qi Nuan parked the car in the service area and bought a bottle of hot drink when his cell phone rang.

She took it out and saw that it was the person she had been waiting to contact: Lu Damao.

"What are you doing?"

This man never started a phone call with her with polite words.

Qi Nuan rolled her eyelids at the air, her tone relatively calm: "I just looked at the seascape on a rainy and snowy winter day, and was about to go home."

Lu Yin knew that she had an appointment with her grandfather this morning, and seemed to laugh from the opposite side.

"I'll give you an address, please navigate here and let's go home together."

The weather was bad and it was the weekend evening rush hour, so Qi Nuan was a little reluctant.

"Aren't you driving yourself?"

"I've taken my car to go dog fishing, and I need my wife to pick it up."

Qi Nuan didn't reply immediately, and the other party asked, "Don't you want to?"

Yeah, I don’t want to.

Although, she said: "Send the address and wait for me to come over."

After waiting for a whole night and a day on the phone, all he said were these unpleasant words.

Qi Nuan sighed for the Nth time today, clicked on the address sent by Lu Yin, and drove there according to the navigation.

After arriving at the designated location and getting out of the car, Qi Nuan stared at the business building with no lights on and wondered: Did the navigation take me to the wrong place?

Feeling footsteps behind her, she quickly turned around and saw a man in a black suit and a communication headset walking towards her.

"Excuse me, is this Miss Qi Nuan?"

Qi Nuan nodded: "I am."

"Hello, I'm here to pick you up on the orders of Mr. Lu. Please follow me."

Qi Nuan followed the man and went around to the back of the business building, approaching a guarded gate.

"The VIP that Mr. Lu invited should go directly to the third floor."

The gatekeeper nodded and instructed into the headset: "VIP, Mr. Lu's room on the third floor."

The heavy iron door opened, and the man in the black suit took Qi Nuan down half a flight of stairs, passed through two partition doors, and took a small elevator.

When the elevator door closed, Qi Nuan realized that this was an exclusive direct elevator, and the third floor referred to the third floor underground.

The man in the black suit made a gesture of invitation, indicating Qi Nuan to go in alone.

Although she was a little hesitant, thinking that Lu Yin would not cheat her, Qi Nuan walked deeper into the room.

The ceiling of this floor was particularly high. She could see the entire structure inside by passing through the bar at the entrance.

This is an indoor sports hall. On the innermost side is an enclosed automatic baseball practice field, and on the outer sides are a boxing ring, a pool table, and two pairs of rings of different heights.
