Chapter 21 - Rescue
Half an hour later, Xiang Chen Xi got the latest clue about Tao Chu Liang.
"CEO, the last phone call Miss Tao received was from her university classmate. The last number she called was also this number. The text message was from a coffee shop on XX Street. However, even if this number was turned off, we still wouldn't be able to find the signal source. "
Xiang Chen Xi nodded his head, "Is the money ready?"
"Alright. The police have been contacted. "
Time passed minute by minute. Although Xiang Chen Xi was expressionless, he was getting more and more anxious.
"Where are you?"
"Item Total, I will wait for you at the abandoned factory outside the western suburbs. I won't be able to see or leave. "
Xiang Chen Xi threw down the phone and drove off.
The abandoned factory was especially desolate against the darkness of the night.
From afar, the sounds of cars disturbing the silence of the night, Lu Zi Xuan smiled in satisfaction, Xiang Chen Xi had indeed come.
Lu Zi Xuan waved the pitiful light beam, and indicated to Xiang Chen Xi his location. After that, he untied Tao Chu Liang from the pillar and tied her hands behind her back.
Xiang Chen Xi stopped the car, holding onto the four chests that held the money, he walked step by step towards the flashlight.
"Did the Item Total come alone? Brave and admirable. "
Xiang Xi Chen raised the chest up, but did not say a word.
Lu Zi Xuan looked around repeatedly to make sure that there was no one around before he finally said, "Come here, your little lamb is right here."
With that said, Lu Zi Xuan suddenly took out a fruit knife and pressed it against Tao Chu Liang's neck, then walked out step by step. The night was dark, and in the dim light, she could finally see her face.
Her eyes were firm and strong, not frightened.
Although Xiang Chen Xi's heart was in pain, he had temporarily let it go.
"Let her go, I'll give you the money!" Xiang Chen Xi made the first move.
Lu Zi Xuan increased the strength in his hands. Seeing that he was about to get the money, he became excited: "Open the chest, I guarantee that there won't be a problem. We'll pay with one hand and hand the person over with the other."
Xiang Chen Xi did as he was told with a darkened face.
The more Lu Zi Xuan stuck the blade against Tao Chu Liang's neck, the deeper it went, and with a slight movement, Tao Chu Liang's throat would be cut open and he would die.
Xiang Chen Xi did not dare to act rashly, and allowed Lu Zi Xuan to approach and confirm the money in the chest.
"Make sure the box is locked properly. Kick it over here!" Lu Zi Xuan ordered.
Xiang Chen Xi followed suit.
The chest struck near Lu Zi Xuan's feet, and instantly, Lu Zi Xuan's leg kicked out and struck Tao Chu Liang.
Xiang Chen Xi was quick to react, he immediately hugged Tao Chu Liang and both of them fell to the ground.
"Are you okay?" Xiang Chen Xi ignored the pain on his back and helped Tao Chu Liang up, and asked while untying the rope.
Tao Chu Liang rolled over and got up, then chased after Lu Zi Xuan. His hoarse voice pierced the dark night, "Lu Zi Xuan, if you have the guts, don't run!"
Xiang Chen Xi, who was carrying him on his back, was shocked by Tao Chu Liang's reaction and immediately chased after him.
When Tao Chu Liang chased to the entrance of the factory, suddenly, he saw a large group of people appearing from within the darkness, and he, Lu Zi Xuan, was especially dazzling, and miserably imprisoned. He glared hatefully at Xiang Chen Xi and Xiang Chen Xi, and swore secretly in his heart: Wait, one day, I will make sure that your reputation will be ruined!
"Just treat this as a wedding gift. What do you think?"
"I like it. "Thank you." A complicated smile surfaced on the corner of Tao Chu Liang's mouth.
