Chapter 393 - 394: Saving a Life-I

Xiao Yun went back to the private room and excused herself to the washroom. Qingge was worried that she had bite her cheeks when Lin Chang Lu had slapped her. However, in truth she wasn't wounded at all. The trail of blood which was a little were only a small pill blood use in a simple act. For Lin Chang Lu, she wouldn't want to let herself slapped only to proof a point. There was no need for that.

Turning off the faucet, she walked outside the washroom. Pulling her phone to call Xue Xiu Yong, she then noticed the man standing in front of the corner where the washroom was. He had made sure to make distance so he wouldn't stand in front of the female washroom. It was Fan Gang, Lin Chang Lu's secretary. The side of his face was bright red and a scratch mark wounded bellow his eyes.

Xiao Yun didn't know why the man was here. Since the first time she had met the man by only a few glance, he did not left impression than following Lin Chang Lu from behind, following every of her words with his eyes telling of how much he loved Lin Chang Lu which Xiao Yun could notice.

But Lin Chang Lu wasn't here and in the washroom there was only her. She walked toward him and stopped her steps to see how Fan Gang stared down at her. "You know." He spoke, his words brief and callous.

About how he love Lin Chang Lu? Asked Xiao Yun. "There are many things I don't know and I only know things that I've seen. I also have someone I love and I know how with what I'm looking at him." She then saw how his face was bleeding and asked, "Are you fine with the wound?"

Fan Gang offered a smile which was bitter, "I see." he muttered and brought his hand to touch his wounds on his cheekbone. "I told her about everything." He started, "How that day the one he met wasn't Mr. Wang but me."

Hearing his words, Xiao Yun didn't think it was her job to hear his words but somewhere she felt pity for the man. He loved her one sidedly, standing beside Lin Chang Lu as the woman chase for another man. There was no way no one's heart wouldn't broke in the situation.

She then look at the man. Although he has been slapped and seemed as if he had broke everything with Lin Chang Lu. He seemed to be relaxed, instead he looked fresh like someone who had woken up from a sleep. Curiously, she asked him, "You are not going to stab me?" She spoke with a straight tone that had Fan Gang's eyes to bobbed out.

"Usually in this situation, wouldn't you be taking revenge for Chang Lu to her enemy?" added Xiao Yun and a smile stretched on her lips when he saw the man looked at her with a speechless expression. "I'm joking." said Xiao Yun.

In the past neither of this happened but there was a part of her that want to check her own theory. If she wasn't hurt in the past by a person, she doubt that would happen now either. There is a possibility that even though everything had took a sharp turn from the past, she believe that she wouldn't get hurt by someone unless it is an accident she couldn't avoid until her death. And that even if she would be wounded, she wouldn't lose her life. She wasn't sure of it yet and wouldn't want to risk her life for it and had thought of it as a conclusion.

"You have a very unique sense of humor, Ms. Yu." Fan Gang remarked, his eyes then shifted back to the two bodyguards who had been watching him and Xiao Yun noticed him turning his face to find Tian Shi and Hi Gu Yan. "I would have to turn down your offer of stabbing. I still want to live." he joked, "Also, I'm thinking of retiring from everything and take a step fresh."

Xiao Yun gave him a nod, she was in a hurry and need to chase time, she offered him last small politely and walk when she heard the man spoke, "But before that, I have to apologize, Ms. Yu." His words attain Xiao Yun's eyes at him.

She lifted her brows curiously and saw how the man had bowed to apologize, "If it was about what had happened, it isn't necessary for apology." she replied.

"It isn't about that. A day ago, I met your two friends and have stolen their phones." Xiao Yun furrowed her brows. Zhi Ling Ling and Nie An's phone? Lin Chang Lu may be a toxic person but she doubt she has less money to pay her own secretary salary he deserve. Unless he has a habit of stealing other's possession but she doubt it so.

All the time she had tried to call Zhi Ling Ling and Nie An, all her calls failed which now she know it was because Fan Gang had stolen her phone.

"For what?" her voice was in a puzzle.

"In exchange for you to disappear." stated Fan Gang with a wooden-like expression. Hearing his words, Xiao Yun's brows knitted deeper, her eyes demanding him for an answer. "Someone came to me, approaching suddenly with an offer. They say they could fix Miss Lin's problem by taking you away and instructed me to steal the phones of your two friends." He then look at Xiao Yun, his body straightening as he had been bowing the entire time he spoke. "I agreed to their offer and with my own will have followed their instruction. Today, I don't see your two friends miss, and I am afraid, they have been kidnapped."

Xiao Yun's eyes widened before her brows furrowed. Her hand was clenched tight as it rest beside her waist. In her two lives, the first friend she had was them. She treasured her friends as much as her friends also treasured her. To know that they have been kidnapped because of her, anger boiled inside her.

She glared at Fan Gang. She didn't held any enmity or grudge to the man but now she did. He had pulled her friend to danger it wasn't something she could forgive. "Where are they now?" she demands for answer, both her eyes and words were sharp.

Fan Gang shook her head, "I don't know. I have only followed their instruction and have sent away the phone to the place where they wanted and out of my experience, I could tell that they have been kidnapped."

"Where are they?!" interrogated Xiao Yun to see the man shook his head.

"I'm sorry." he apologized but Xiao Yun doesn't need his apology. Her friend maybe i. a danger now!

"Tsk." Xiao Yun clicked her tongue. "Do you know who have kidnapped them?" she asked and seeing that it would take time if Fan Gang had to describe the people he met, she shoved her phone and the picture of people from Choi Group. "Which?" Her eyes stared in a glare at the man.

Fan Gang took the phone and slide a few pictures. But he didn't see the face well and didn't know which, "I'm sorry." he repeated.

Xiao Yun tightened her jaw, "Where did you send the phone?"

"Here." replied Fan Gang, his finger pointed the locker that was not too far from them which wasn't used anymore by the look of it. "In the third locker but I'm afraid it had been taken as the last time I came there I found nothing."
