Chapter 444: The kidnapping ended before it even started
S.S. La, the hotel restaurant.
Outside the window is the bright sunshine of an exotic morning, shining through the huge floor-to-ceiling glass onto the breakfast table.
Lu Shiman was eating breakfast and discussing today's itinerary with Qin Jiaojiao in a low voice.
Lu Chixu, who was sitting opposite her, was wearing a racing suit that made his figure look even more upright, and coupled with his handsome face, it was a real visual treat.
Lu Chixu quickly finished the food on his plate.
He put down his knife and fork, wiped his mouth with a napkin, took out a black credit card neatly, and pushed it in front of Lu Shiman.
"Here."
Lu Shiman raised her clear eyes, looked at the card, and then looked at her second brother.
"Brother has to go to the stadium today to familiarize himself with the environment and maintain the car. You and Jiaojiao can have a good look around." Lu Chixu's tone was full of concern: "Buy whatever you like, but the most important thing is..."
He emphasized: "Be careful."
Lu Shiman immediately arched his brows, pressed the card, and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Don't worry, second brother, Jiaojiao and I will never let you down with your hard-earned money. We will definitely spend it well."
Lu Chixu rolled his eyes at her and couldn't help but reach out and knock her on the head: "The key point is at the back. It's to make you pay attention to safety. Safety first."
"I know, I know." Lu Shiman covered his head, still smiling and nodding: "Promise to be careful, and second brother should also be careful."
Seeing that she agreed readily, Lu Chixu felt relieved and stopped when he wanted to withdraw his hand.
He suddenly remembered something, snorted and chuckled, pressing the card with his fingertips and pretending to pull it back: "Tsk, that's not right, I just remembered that any one of your cards is worth more than my entire net worth, right?"
"Why am I rushing to give you money? That doesn't make sense. Just use your own money."
Lu Shiman's expression changed instantly, and his lips pouted so much that a big man could be hanged.
She held her second brother's hand and said in a spoiled and naughty way: "Second brother, how can they be the same? Mine is mine, and your second brother's is your second brother's."
"What's the point of spending my own money? I feel good when I spend my brother's money. Besides, this is the money of my handsome and handsome racing champion second brother!"
Lu Shiman particularly emphasized "Second Brother's Money" and stared at the card with sparkling eyes.
Lu Chixu was so amused by her twisted logic and flattery that he couldn't help but rub her hair again. The effort he had just made to hold back was completely gone.
"Okay, okay, I'll give it to you." Lu Chixu stood up: "When you're sweet, you can make people sick to death. When you're vicious, you can make people angry to death."
"Be good, remember my words, the bodyguards must follow you closely." Lu Chixu's tone became serious, and his eyes swept over the bodyguards beside him, as well as several female bodyguards: "Don't even think about getting rid of them, and don't disappear from the bodyguards' sight."
Lu Shiman continued to nod obediently.
Lu Chixu explained a few more details before leaving the hotel in big strides.
.......
The largest open-air market in Ssinla is bustling with activity and full of rich regional flavor.
Lu Shiman held her best friend Qin Jiaojiao's arm and walked between the stalls, picking and choosing excitedly.
Behind them, several bodyguards followed closely. Behind the bodyguards were bodyguards, and behind the bodyguards behind the bodyguards were bodyguards.
In the dark, there are bodyguards.
In addition to the bodyguards arranged by Lu Chixu and Ji Linshen, there are also bodyguards arranged by Huo Beiyan.
These bodyguards silently built another invisible protective net.
Layer upon layer, light and dark intertwined, protecting Lu Shiman and Qin Jiaojiao.
This tight defense was soon noticed by several pairs of malicious eyes.
Inside a nondescript van on the outskirts of the market, K was cursing softly through a miniature telescope: "Shit, the target is protected like an iron barrel, how can I do this?"
The burly man next to him whispered, "Boss, didn't the employer say it was just a wealthy young lady on vacation? This scene doesn't seem like it!"
"Who cares if it looks like it or not," K gritted his teeth, a fierce look in his eyes. "There's enough money, let's do it first. If forcing it doesn't work, we'll think of another way."
They began to act separately, taking advantage of the dense flow of people and the cover of stalls, trying to find opportunities.
K was personally responsible for the final action. He disguised himself as a vendor selling inferior handicrafts and gradually approached Lu Shiman and Qin Jiaojiao who were carefully selecting hand-woven bracelets in front of a small stall.
On the way, Man's attention was slightly distracted when he picked up a bracelet and asked the price.
K took advantage of the brief visual blind spot created by the movement of a tall customer in the stall in front, took a step forward, and suddenly covered Lu Shiman's mouth and nose with a handkerchief soaked in drugs in his hand!
"Ah..." Qin Jiaojiao only uttered half of her scream.
Just as Lu Shiman's mouth and nose were covered, a large hand like a clamp suddenly stretched out from behind and grabbed K's wrist with incredible precision.
The force was so great that K felt his wrist bones were about to break.
At the same time, several muffled groans and heavy sounds of falling were heard behind K.
Several of his accomplices were quickly knocked down and subdued by bodyguards who rushed out from the dark the moment they attacked.
The whole process was as fast as lightning, and did not even disturb the tourists who were enthusiastically selecting other products a few steps away.
Only the stall owner was so scared that his hand shook and the bracelet fell to the ground.
Lu Shiman didn't even smell the scent of the drug before he was taken under control.
Qin Jiaojiao grabbed Lu Shiman's arm in shock, her face pale.
"Ms. Lu, Ms. Qin, everything is fine." The leading female bodyguard spoke in a steady voice and quickly reported the situation into the micro communicator.
Lu Shiman's heart was still pounding, and the feeling of surviving a disaster made her fingertips cold.
Although the bodyguard reacted quickly, the overwhelming malice and sudden danger still frightened her.
......
St. Louis International Airport.
Ji Linshen had just passed through customs and walked out in a black windbreaker, walking like the wind.
He opened the app to check Lu Shiman's real-time location.
"Go to the market as fast as possible." Ji Linshen walked quickly towards the car and gave orders in a low voice.
The car shot onto the road like an arrow.
Chu Qi sat in the passenger seat, feeling a little excited as he could chat face to face with Sister Man and the others.
As soon as the car left the airport area, Ji Linshen's phone vibrated rapidly.
The person jumping on the screen was the bodyguard captain who was responsible for secretly protecting Lu Shiman.
Ji Linshen's heart sank instantly, and an ominous premonition gripped him.
He immediately picked up the phone: "Speak."
"Mr. Ji, five minutes ago at the market, a group of unidentified professionals tried to kidnap Miss Lu. They have all been subdued by our side. Miss Lu was frightened but not physically injured." The bodyguard captain spoke concisely, his voice steady despite a hint of tension.
"Location, I'll be there soon. Control everyone and wait for my interrogation." Ji Linshen's voice suddenly cooled, and the air pressure in the car instantly dropped to freezing point.
His eyes were sharp, and he shouted at the driver: "Faster!"
