Li Susu stood in front of the door of the hotel room where Li Minghai was staying. She raised her hand and knocked lightly on the door, but the room was dead silent and there was no response.
She knocked a few more times, but still there was no movement.
Just then, a burst of hurried footsteps came from the end of the corridor. Zhou Huaixu hurried over, took out the room card from his pocket, and opened the door with a "beep".
The two walked into the house, but found it empty.
The air was filled with a strong smell of cigarettes, which made people's noses feel dry. The ashtray on the table was piled with cigarette butts.
Li Susu walked around the room cautiously.
Zhou Huaixu naturally understood her thoughts and comforted her softly, "Your dad may just be going downstairs for a walk and will be back soon."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and gently placed it on the TV. He felt a hint of warmth, and the tension in his heart relaxed a little.
Just as he was about to speak, his eyes suddenly fell on the sink. The spare toothbrushes and toothpaste that had been neatly arranged were gone. His expression instantly became a little solemn.
Li Susu also noticed it and said hurriedly, "He shouldn't have gone far. Senior, could you please take me to the long-distance bus station?"
Zhou Huaixu subconsciously glanced at her still flat belly, and a hint of hesitation flashed through his mind.
But before he could respond, Li Susu rushed out like a gust of wind.
"Susu, slow down!" Zhou Huaixu shouted hurriedly, then quickly caught up.
Two minutes later, Zhou Huaixu drove the Bentley at lightning speed towards the bus station in the suburbs of East City.
-
At the same time, in front of the Bo Group building, Bo Junyi had just driven his car out of the underground parking lot and was about to drive onto the main road. Inadvertently, he noticed that a Bentley waiting for the red light more than ten meters away looked very familiar.
As the car got closer, he clearly saw that the person sitting in the driver's seat was his cousin Zhou Huaixu, and the familiar figure in the passenger seat was the person he had been thinking about and eager to see!
His heart suddenly tightened.
Li Susu was seen tilting her head and saying something to Zhou Huaixu seriously. Zhou Huaixu nodded slightly with a gentle smile on his face. Then he lowered his head to take out a bottle of water from the cup holder, gently unscrewed the cap, and handed it to Li Susu. His concern and consideration were not concealed in his every move.
Bo Junyi's face instantly darkened to the point of dripping water. He slammed the steering wheel hard and cursed angrily, "You little bastard, how dare you set your sights on your sister-in-law? You're really asking for your life!"
The light is green and traffic is moving slowly.
The afterglow of the setting sun cast a warm orange hue on the city roads. Bo Junyi stared at the Bentley speeding not far away, and without hesitation, he stepped on the accelerator. The car rushed towards its target like a cheetah pouncing on its prey.
"Zhou Huaixu!" Bo Junyi shouted subconsciously, but his voice was instantly swallowed up by the whistling wind.
Li Susu in the car seemed to have sensed something and turned her head to meet his eyes in the air.
For a moment, time seemed to freeze, but soon, the complex emotions in Li Susu's eyes flashed by, and then she turned her head away.
Zhou Huaixu saw Bo Junyi's Maybach in pursuit from the rearview mirror. He raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Li Susu: "Susu, my brother is catching up. Do you want to stop?"
Li Susu bit her lower lip: "Don't stop yet."
Bo Junyi was extremely anxious and kept honking the horn. The sharp sound echoed in the street, but the Bentley did not slow down, but instead drove faster and faster.
Bo Junyi's knuckles turned white from excessive force, and he couldn't help but curse under his breath: "You little bastard, you better not fall into my hands!"
In the blink of an eye, Maybach and Bentley were competing fiercely on the busy road, causing the surrounding vehicles to avoid them.
Bo Junyi tried to overtake and force a stop several times, but Zhou Huaixu evaded him flexibly every time.
As the car speed increased, the image of Li Susu being injured suddenly appeared in Bo Junyi's mind. His heart tightened, and reason finally overcame impulse. He slowly released the accelerator.
The car slowed down steadily and stopped in a parking space on the side of the road.
Bo Junyi took out his cell phone and called Zhou Huaixu. The ringing sound kept echoing in the silent car, but no one answered.
At this time, Ji Lin called.
Bo Junyi quickly pressed the answer button, his tone still showing lingering annoyance: "Speak!"
Ji Lin's voice came from the receiver, clear and urgent: "Boss Bo, I have found Li Minghai's whereabouts. He is at the high-speed rail station now.
I had someone check the surveillance footage. Li Minghai had dinner with Master Huaixu. He said he had liver cancer, and Master Huaixu, out of sympathy, transferred 100,000 yuan to him. I guess Miss Li found out and wanted to get the money back, so Li Minghai was in such a hurry to leave Jiangcheng.
Hearing these words, Bo Junyi's originally furrowed brows slowly relaxed and he breathed a sigh of relief.
His eyes gradually regained their usual calmness and sharpness, and he said to Ji Lin, "It's best to control him immediately. I'll be there now."
Just as he was about to hang up, Bo Junyi suddenly remembered something, his expression tensed, and he added, "Send someone to the East Suburb Bus Station to secretly protect Su Su's safety. Don't let anything go wrong!"
Ji Lin responded quickly: "Understood, I'll arrange it immediately!"
Bo Junyi hung up the phone and started the car. The tires made a sharp sound as they rubbed against the ground, and the car sped towards the high-speed rail station like an arrow.
In just over ten minutes, the car arrived at the high-speed rail station.
As the car door opened, his slender figure walked out with a cold aura.
He instantly locked onto the particularly eye-catching extended black Lincoln not far away.
Seeing him approach, the bodyguard beside the car immediately straightened his posture, bowed slightly respectfully, and reported in a low voice: "Boss Bo, Li Minghai is in the car. We gave him a little 'tea' before, but now he's very obedient."
Bo Junyi nodded slightly, raised his hand, and opened the car door with his slender fingers.
In an instant, an invisible yet powerful and frightening aura rushed into the car.
Li Minghai, who was originally sitting in his seat feeling nervous, seemed to be hit hard by an invisible force. He was so frightened that his whole body trembled and almost jumped up from his seat.
His eyes were wide open, his face was full of fear, and he subconsciously shrank his whole body towards the car window.
His mouth was like a machine gun, and he defended himself anxiously, "Boss Bo, I really didn't do anything bad! I even got into a fight to protect Su Su. I just got out of the police station. I'm really afraid the police will give me more trouble, so I want to leave Jiangcheng as soon as possible..."
Bo Junyi had a stern look on his face, without a trace of expression, as if he were ice that had not melted for a thousand years.
He sat down slowly, his movements graceful yet revealing an undeniable sense of oppression. He crossed his legs casually, his gaze like a sharp blade piercing the dawn sea.
He opened his thin lips and spoke slowly, "Really? But I heard from Huai Xu that you have liver cancer. So, father-in-law, do you need me, your son-in-law, to take you to the hospital for a physical examination? Don't worry, I'll pay for the surgery and other expenses, just consider it my filial duty to you."
He pronounced the last few words very lightly, but they seemed to be filled with ice, causing the temperature in the car to drop by several degrees.
