"It's too late, honey, I'm already up." His thin lips pressed to her ear, teasing her.
Even if he hand't said it, she knew that he was up.
"Captain Lu, could you be more shameless?" She avoided his hot breath, grabbed his collar, and glared at him.
"It's you who kept asking me to do it? I'm fulfilling your wish now, and you're calling me shameless again. Stewardess Su, I'm not the one who made it go up." Lu Xiangdong teased.
She was not in the mood to joke with him right now. She had a severe headache and the effects of the alcohol had not faded yet. Her mouth was dry and she felt parched.
Su Mianmian waved her hand and told him to drive quickly.
Lu Xiangdong crossed his arms over his chest. His 'little brother' was still holding his head high, getting in the way of his driving.
"What are you doing? Take care of the little brother in your pants, or I'll give you a pair of scissors." She pushed him away and shook her head, feeling dizzy.
Lu Xiangdong reached out and rubbed his face, trying to keep calm. He could not take her now, even if he wanted to. He had to do it when she was awake. He couldn't take advantage of her.
Su Mianmian glanced at him. He was so obedient, just because she asked him to drive. Su Mianmian pursed her lips. Lu Xiangdong had really scared her just now. She really thought that he would take her in the car. Fortunately, he didn't. She patted her chest and felt her heart beating rapidly.
Lu Xiangdong glanced at her and saw her reaction. He couldn't help but smile and laugh at her for not finishing what she started.
"The hotel you stayed in previously has a hidden safety risk. Don't go back for now." He parked the car in front of a hotel, pulled off his seatbelt, and turned his face to her.
Su Mianmian's head was aching, and her legs hurt, too. She rested her head on the back of the seat and let him speak. Right now, she just wanted to lie down on a bed and have a good rest. She temporarily threw all her other problems to the back of her mind.
He reached out to help her up. "If you don't know how to drink, then don't drink so much. It's a waste of money."
Su Mianmian did not have the energy to bicker with him now. If it were any other time, she would have already replied back.
Lu Xiangdong helped her into the hotel. At the front desk, he asked for a VIP room from the front desk staff. He took the room card and helped Su Mianmian into the elevator.
Su Mianmian couldn't stand straight anymore. She swore that she didn't mean it. She was really drunk. She leaned forward and rested her head on his shoulder. Her face was red and she reeked of alcohol.
Lu Xiangdong was afraid that she would fall, so he used one hand to hold her waist. He looked down at her drunken state and muttered, "Su Mianmian, you must have forgotten one thing. To be happy, happy, happy."
After saying that, he couldn't help but laugh. She probably didn't hear a single word.
DING! The elevator suddenly stopped, halting Lu Xiangdong's thoughts. He half-hugged her and half-dragged her out of the elevator. Then, following the room numbers, he found the room he booked. He swiped the room key card, opened the door, and entered.
Lu Xiangdong helped her to bed and let her lie down. He shook his sore arms, bent down to help her take off her clothes, and then covered her with a blanket. He turned off the light near the bed and followed the light in the living room into the bathroom.
When he came out of the shower, he heard the sound of snoring coming from the bed. He shook his wet hair, took off the towel at his waist, and climbed into bed. He pulled off the blanket on her, and slid in.
He hugged her from behind and pressed his face against the back of her neck. He sniffed the smell of alcohol on her body, took a deep breath, and sneered, "Su Mianmian, you stink. Don't drink so much in the future, drunkard."
Lu Xiangdong's arm was wrapped around her armpit. He let her sleep in his arms. The corners of his mouth curled with satisfaction. Su Mianmian did not know whether it was because her back was warm, or she was really tired, but she lay in his arms, not struggling at all.
She felt something pressing against her head. Had she dreamed of being so warm?Amongst her drowsy state, she smelled the scent of mint from a man's body. She slowly opened her eyes and raised her head.
For a moment, she was stunned. Su Mianmian glanced at his bare chest. When she moved down again, her face instantly turned red. He was actually only wearing a pair of pants. She was naked! Naked! Naked? She was being held by him. Did something happen last night?
She looked at the clothes scattered on the bottom of bed and could no longer suppress the excitement in her heart. She pushed him away and kicked him. "Get lost!"
Lu Xiangdong felt that his butt had been kicked, and his originally sleepy eyes instantly became clear. He grabbed the little foot that was flying towards him and laughed evilly, "Baby, why are you so angry this early in the morning? You didn't treat me like this last night. Last night, you kept rubbing against me, saying that you were hungry. I was just obeying your wishes."
Su Mianmian became so angry that she found herself speechless. She must have drunk too much to say such shameless things.
"You're farting. You must have raped me while I was drunk."
"You can check if I raped you." Lu Xiangdong let go of her foot and shrugged.
Su Mianmian turned sideways to check herself. There was nothing unusual to be seen. Did nothing happen last night? Lu Xiangdong would not let her go so easily!
"Tell me, did you?"
Lu Xiangdong smiled. "I did want to have sex with you last night, but I changed my mind. I'm not interested in a drunkard."
Su Mianmian was instantly embarrassed. Drunkard?
"Stop changing the topic. Why would you let go of the opportunity so easily? Could it be that you can't do it?" She looked at him with a questioning gaze. She only took a casual glance, he reacted instantly.
"Su Mianmian, you can experience for yourself whether or not I'm useless." He spread his legs apart so that she could see clearly.
Su Mianmian was completely speechless. He was clearly not useless.
"How is it? Flight attendant Su, come over for a safety check."
"You f*cking idiot!" She picked up a pillow and smacked it on his head. Then, she quickly jumped down from the bed and picked up the clothes that were scattered on the ground.
He followed her to the end of the bed and picked her up from behind. "Since you're awake, let's finish what you did last night."
Su Mianmian shook him off.
"I don't have time to play games with you. I want to go back to the mainland. I don't want to see you." She searched everywhere for her missing phone and found it by the pillow. She put it back into her pocket and glared at him.
"You're not playing games with me, you're clearly messing with me. You were a drunkard last night."
She wouldn't believe what he said. She turned around to leave.
"Su Mianmian, you don't want your birthday present?"
Just as she was about to walk out of the room, Lu Xiangdong, who was standing behind her, spoke leisurely.
Su Mianmian was stunned; she didn't realize that he knew her birthday. Where did he find out about it? The moment she turned her head, he was already behind her, holding a box in his hand. The box looked familiar.
"I wanted to give you this birthday present yesterday, but you were so drunk that you were out of your mind. Just think about it and forget about it." He gestured for her to open the box.
Su Mianmian's gaze fell on the box in his hand. She felt that she had seen this box somewhere before. Suddenly, she remembered the time when she had bumped into him and Qi Chuyan together. He had been holding that box in his hand.
"You picked it out yourself?" She played with it carefully in her hand.
"What?" Lu Xiangdong didn't understand what she meant.
"Seems like Qi Chuyan didn't want it and now you're giving it to me." She suddenly raised her head and threw the gift box back to him.
Lu Xiangdong frowned. "Why would you bring her up? Whose birthday is it?"
"Because when I saw this box, I thought of Qi Chuyan. In the future, I don't want anything that woman has touched." Su Mianmian pointed at his chest with a serious face. He grabbed her hand and assured her, "Besides me, no one else has touched this box. You can take it without worry."
Su Mianmian looked at the box. She secretly really wanted to know what was in the box. What kind of birthday present had he got her?
"Ok, I accept your present. Thank you, Captain Lu." She opened the box casually.
It was not an expensive gem, nor was it a ring or a necklace. It was just a clear lipstick.
She picked up the lipstick and held it in her hand. She looked at him and asked, "Why did you give me this?"
She didn't dislike it, but thought it was too hot for lipstick. Who would need this?
"You might not need it at home. When you fly, you can apply some on your lips. Aren't your lips prone to chapping during winter? This is more useful than other things. It's also convenient to carry," he explained. He did not feel that there was anything wrong with the lipstick.
Su Mianmian understood his intention. She spun one end of the lipstick and smiled. "It's still a brand."
"The thing isn't expensive, it's the thought that counts." He sat on the sofa, crossed his long legs, picked up a cup of tea, and took a sip.
"I'll take the thing, but it doesn't mean that I'll forgive you."
This woman was good for nothing.
"Su Mianmian, if you don't like it, you can return it to me."
"How can you take it back when you've just given it away?" She suddenly remembered that she had lost all the things she had brought to the Philippines. Other than her cell phone and a few tattered clothes, there was nothing left.
"Chengwu Su, you have to listen to me. Pack your things and come back to the mainland with me." He put down the teacup, and put some clothes on. Then, he looked at his watch and said, "Before we go back to the mainland, let's get some breakfast."
"To tell you the truth, I only have a few clothes on me. I have nothing left, so I want to buy a bag. Could you buy it for me, Captain Lu?" She spread her hands and asked him for money.
He glanced at her. "Let's find a place to have breakfast first. We can talk about buying a bag later."
She withdrew her hand, embarrassed. This was the result of asking for help from others. She was penniless.
She had to wait before she returned home to report her bank card had gone missing, and she would need to get a new ID. She hoped that the person who stole her ID card would not do anything illegal with it.
"What do you want to eat?" He threw the menu in front of her and let her order for herself.
Su Mianmian did not have much of an appetite. She was thinking about the money in her bank card. That was all her savings.
"Don't think about saving money for me. Just order whatever you want." Although Lu Xiangdong rarely ate out with her, it didn't mean that he was stingy. He just didn't know how to be romantic like other men. He was good to women. Usually, he would show his interest through his actions.
"Do you think I'm the kind of woman who would save money for you?" She opened the menu and didn't even look at the price. She ordered a cup of Haagen-daz coffee and a portion of rib meat pie.
"Okay."
Lu Xiangdong ate very nutritious meal. He had a bowl of lean meat, porridge, and egg custard.
He rolled up his sleeve so that it was convenient for him to hold the spoon. He had always eaten elegantly, unlike Su Mianmian, who ate with an open mouth.
Compared to him, Su Mianmian felt rough. His every move made others unable to take their eyes off him.
Why didn't she realize before that the man beside her was actually so pleasing to the eye? She unconsciously imagined his naked body.
"There's extra custard. If you want to eat it, I can give you half." He raised his spoon and turned to look at her.
Su Mianmian was shocked. She patted her chest and quickly drank a big mouthful of coffee.
It almost burned her to death!
"I don't really eat custard." She lowered her head and wiped her mouth to cover up her panic.
Su Mianmian couldn't help but curse herself. She had accidentally stared at someone while having a nosebleed.
Lu Xiangdong glanced at her. He felt that she was a little strange today.
"If you don't like egg custard, you can order something else." He shook his head and continued eating his breakfast.
"Don't worry about me. I'll let you know what I want to eat." Su Mianmian took a deep breath. She felt as if she needed more oxygen, and her face was burning hot. What was going on? Why was she so restless early in the morning? Something was not right.
Lu Xiangdong put down the spoon and wiped his mouth. Seeing that she was fanning herself, he asked curiously, "Are you feeling hot?" A gentle wind was blowing from where he was sitting, so why was she still sweating?
Su Mianmian stood up and pointed at the door. "Buy a bag. I'm good to go back to the mainland."
Why was this woman acting so strange? He straightened his shirt and got up to call for the waiter and pay the bill.
Su Mianmian was so embarrassed that she wanted to bang her head against the wall. Where did her overly reserved and rational self go? How could she be so embarrassed in front of him?
"Why are you still standing there? Let's see if there's a store nearby. Aren't you going to buy a bag?" Lu Xiangdong felt that Su Mianmian was acting absentmindedly today. The way she looked at him was a little strange. Could it be that she was still holding a grudge against him for losing something?
He sighed, "Let's go."
She saw him sigh and wondered why he had done so. Did he think that this was a trouble?
"Lu Xiangdong, give me the money. I'll go in and buy it myself. Wait for me outside." She didn't want to trouble him at all, especially when he had that serious expression on his face.
Lu Xiangdong thought that she was quarreling with him, so he gave her the money and let her go in to choose.
Su Mianmian took the money and entered the store alone. When she came to the front of the shelf, she turned around to peek at Lu Xiangdong who was standing outside. When she saw that he was looking inside, she quickly lowered her head and pretended to be very busy. She picked up a bag and unzipped it. She pulled out everything that was stuffed inside.
What should she do? If she went out like this, would she still be able to see anyone?
Su Mianmian stuffed the piece of paper back into her bag. She aimlessly entered another aisle, wanting to calm herself down first.
Suddenly, a shadowy figure appeared in front of her and blocked her way. When she looked up, her eyes flashed, and she felt her entire body sink.
Lu Xiangdong kept looking at his watch. Picking out a bag was taking half an hour. This woman was really incapable!
If he kept waiting, he would not be able to catch the last flight to the mainland today.
Lu Xiangdong entered the store and searched every corner. He found that she had gone.
He went to the front desk and asked, "Hello, may I ask where the lady who came in recently went?"
The boss shook his head. "I'm not sure. I've been watching and did not notice a lady come in."
Lu Xiangdong instantly became worried. It was impossible for her to disappear for no reason. Could it be that they were followed along the way? Who could have done it? Was it the person who stole her things, or possibly Lu Wenzhong?
No matter who it was, he had to find Su Mianmian as soon as possible to ensure her safety.
* * * * *
Su Mianmian, was sent into a dark room. Someone came over and pulled her up from the ground. Su Mianmian, who was blindfolded and bound, was still unconscious. She was thrown into a chair.
"Vice President, I've caught her for you." A man with disheveled hair, who wore a baseball cap, jeans, and held a cigarette in his mouth, asked with a flattering smile.
Qi Chuyan turned around and gave him a slap.
The man was stunned by her slap and looked very aggrieved.
"Vice President, what do you mean by this?"
"You have the nerve to mention the reward to me? I told you to go to Su Mianmian's hotel and steal her things, leaving her with nothing. But you? You're not good enough to do anything."
The man lowered his head and muttered, "I followed your request and stole her things. Isn't the bank card and ID card with you?"
"Shut up!"
Qi Chuyan was instantly angry. She didn't expect Su Mianmian to be so lucky, and she didn't expect Lu Xiangdong to suddenly go there. All her plans were messed up, she vented her anger on the man.
The man shut his mouth and rolled his eyes. 'B*tch, wait until I get the money, then I'll teach you a good lesson!' he thought.
Qi Chuyan brushed her messy hair and tried to calm herself down. Now was not the time to be angry. She had to think of a way to deal with Su Mianmian as soon as possible. Now that she was in her hands, she could not run away. When she thought of this, she felt a little better.
"Watch her carefully and wait for my orders. As for the money?"
The man's eyes brightened. What was he doing all this for? Wasn't it just money? Money was easy to handle.
"Money is negotiable."
"If you can get rid of this woman, I will pay you whatever you need. But if things go wrong, you won't get a single cent."
The man had not expected her to be so ruthless. He immediately gritted his teeth. "Vice President, you should at least take your identity into consideration, right? If I don't get the money, you won't be able to live a good life either. If I were to publicize this matter, would you be able to stay at the NEPC International Airlines?"
Qi Chuyan sneered "Go and publicize it. Go ahead. You must know that everything I do is approved by the chairman of the NEPC International Airlines. What can you do to me? If you want, go and expose me now. Do you think you have the ability?"
The man stepped back and pointed at her with a trembling hand. "Oh, so you have a backer! No wonder you are so arrogant. You b*tch, are you playing with me?"
Qi Chuyan threatened him, "If you hurt me, not only will you have no money, but you will also go to prison for a few years. Think carefully before you act."
As the saying goes, a wise man does not take a loss when the odds are against him. It was obvious that he had already fallen into the trap.
"Very good. You know how to judge a situation. As long as you do your job well, I will not give you any less money." With her back facing him, she wrote a few red RMB notes. When he reached out to take them, she deliberately let the money fall to the ground.
The man hurriedly knelt on one knee and picked up the money. He spat on his hand and began to count the money carefully.
"This is only the deposit. After the job is done, there will be more." Qi Chuyan crossed her arms over her chest and laughed coldly.
The man stopped counting the money and crawled in front of her. He pulled her arm and said, "You didn't lie to me. I'm risking my life to work for you. Don't lie to me."
"Of course." Qi Chuyan avoided his touch with disgust. She took out a handkerchief to wipe her arm and threw it on the ground.
Qi Chuyan walked out of the room and quickly contacted Lu Wenzhong on the mainland.
"Uncle Lu, I've already done as you instructed. What do you want me to do next?"
Lu Wenzhong took the phone and walked to the window. He only thought for a moment before giving a ruthless order. "Inform Lu Xiangdong to go and collect her. The condition is that he agrees to my request. Otherwise, don't ever let him find Su Mianmian."
Qi Chuyan did not expect Lu Wenzhong to be so ruthless, but all of this was exactly what she wanted. She hid her joy curled her lips. "Yes, everything will be done according to your instruction. There shouldn't be any mistakes this time."
"That's for the best. I've waited long enough." Lu Wenzhong spoke from the bottom of his heart.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Wenzhong clenched his fists tightly.
A black car drove to a magnificent ancestral hall. The car door opened, and Lu Wenzhong got out of the car and dismissed his subordinates. He entered the ancestral hall alone.
This was the cemetery that he had specially built for his dead wife. Lu Xiangdong had always felt that he had let Wen Pei down, which was why he had treated him coldly for so many years. He was already used to his son's indifference, but the NEPC International Airlines could not fall into the hands of outsiders. He had done so much to protect the company. He did not plan to tell Lu Xiangdong about some things. He only hoped that he would have more time to realize his dream of flying. However, time was running out, and he could no longer just let Lu Xiangdong do as he wished.
He would rather his son continue to hate him than the company fall into the hands of outsiders. The company was a business that he and his wife had worked hard to build together. For his wife and for his son, he could not just sit idly by.
Lu Wenzhong sat on a cushion and lit a cigarette. He clasped his hands together and bowed his head. His face was full of sorrow. He seemed to have changed into a different person. In front of the woman he loved the most, he was just a poor husband who had lost his wife. "Wen Pei, please ensure that your son is safe and sound. Please ensure that the company is safe and sound."
On the ancestral hall hung the portrait of Wen Pei, Lu Xiangdong's mother. She had a smile on her face when she left. She was the woman he loved the most in his life. She had died in a car accident when Lu Xiangdong was twenty years old.
At that time, Lu Wenzhong had been focused on his career and rarely had time to spend with his wife and son. It was not until the company's tenth anniversary celebration that Wen Pei got into the car accident on the way to him. He was at the company when she got into the car accident. It was on that day that he lost his most beloved woman and his most beloved son.
Although it had been many years since the incident, Lu Xiangdong had always held a grudge against because of what had happened to his mother.
No matter how much he tried to please his son, his son never trusted him. From then on, his son addressed him as chairman.
He knew that his son still had a grudge against him, and he did not expect his son to forgive him. Right now, he only hoped that his son could enter the company to manage it and protect the company for him.
When he came out of the ancestral hall, his assistant saw his face was pale, and hurried over to help him.
Lu Wenzhong waved his hand. "No need to help me up. Let's go back."
His assistant had been working for him for decades, so he more or less knew about the matters of the Lu family. He saw the chairman's good intentions toward the young master, and he understood the pain he felt in his heart.
"Chairman, I think it's necessary to let the young master know about all this. If you keep this a secret, the young master will only misunderstand you even more." The assistant opened the car door for him.
Lu Wenzhong glanced at the assistant and took his hand away from the car door. "Don't tell him about this. We'll talk about it later."
He was waiting for Lu Xiangdong to agree to his conditions. He hoped it would be soon, but knew it may never happen.
* * *
Lu Xiangdong looked for Su Mianmian everywhere, but he found nothing. Just as he was about to admit a loss, he received a mysterious message.
'If you want to see Su Mianmian, you need to agree to one condition. Agree to it and you'll be able to see her.'
The caller obviously knew everything about him and Su Mianmian. His first reaction was that Lu Wenzhong had taken Su Mianmian away.
He dialed Lu Wenzhong's number.
Lu Wenzhong looked at the caller ID on his phone and hesitated. He answered and put the phone to his ear. Before he could speak, Lu Xiangdong immediately said, "Chairman Lu, where is Su Mianmian? Let her go, or else you will never get what you want in your life."
"Agree to my conditions and I will have her released immediately," Lu Wenzhong said.
Lu Xiangdong knew that he would never give up on the idea of him going back to the company. He just didn't expect that he would use Su Mianmian to threaten him again and again. Lu Wenzhong was really despicable.
"I'll give you one day to think about it. I'll wait for your reply." Lu Wenzhong was about to hang up the phone when Lu Xiangdong said, "I won't agree to your conditions. I'll think of a way to save her myself."
Lu Wenzhong expected this answer. He quietly hung up the phone, placed his hand on the windowsill, and sighed.
Lu Xiangdong was so angry that he almost threw his phone. Now he would have to think of a way to save Su Mianmian.
He would not agree to Lu Wenzhong's conditions.
* * * * * *
"Let her starve," Lu Wenzhong instructed Qi Chuyan on the other end of the phone.
Qi Chuyan was stunned for a moment before she replied, "Yes chairman."
It would be easy to starve Su Mianmian to death, she could just leave her in a dark room for a few days. But would she die?
She immediately called. "You can retreat now. Before you leave, tie up her hands and feet. It's best if you stuff a bandage in her mouth. You can starve her to death."
The man chuckled. "Yes, deputy manager, but my money?"
"After this is done, I'll look for you alone. Keep this phone connected at all times." Qi Chuyan hung up the phone. If Su Mianmian wouldn't die this time, she decided she'd personally cut off her head and kick it like a ball.
What was going on? Why was it so dark in front of her eyes? Su Mianmian felt so uncomfortable that she couldn't breathe. Her hands and feet seemed to be tied. Su Mianmian searched through all the available information in her mind. She had gone to the store to buy a bag, someone had stood in front of her, and then she had fainted.
Someone kidnapped her! She tried her best to make sense of it. There was no reason for someone to mess with her like this. Could it be Qi Chuyan? But she was in the Philippines now. Could it be that Qi Chuyan had also come to the Philippines?
She twisted the chair under her butt and tiptoed a few steps forward. She wanted to see where she was locked up, but the chair tilted and she fell to the ground. It hurt!
Her forehead hurt, she felt beaten. How could she be so unlucky? She was robbed when staying in the hotel, and when she went out to buy a bag, she was robbed again!
She sniffed the air around her. She smelled the fragrance of flowers and heard birds. Could it be that she was locked up in the wilderness? She was done for! This place was not like the mainland, there was no way to find someone to ask for help. Su Mianmian wanted to cry, but she had no tears. She thought about how she had not given up the first time she was taken, and then about how she would die so tragically, and in a foreign country. She regretted ever coming.
If she had known, she would have had sex with Lu Xiangdong last night.
She exhaled hard, trying to spit out the cloth on her mouth, but it was useless. Her whole body felt weak and she fell in pain.
What should she do? If this continued, she would definitely die!
She waited for a miracle, but it wasn't going to happen. The darkness in front of her grew, and she felt deprived of oxygen. She felt dizzy, and like her throat was being torn apart.
Who was going to save her? She roared internally, hoping that Lu Xiangdong would appear and save her. However, he didn't appear. She fainted again because of the severe lack of water and oxygen.
Was she dead? Why didn't she feel any pain at all? Her nose felt itchy, and the corner of her mouth felt warm. She realized that someone was forcing her to drink something.
Su Mianmian suddenly opened her eyes and took a closer look. Someone was pinching her nose, and it was a handsome man.
Unlike Lu Xiangdong, who exuded handsomeness from the inside out, the man in front of her looked very cold. Cool and handsome?
She threw up on him without hesitation.
The handsome man wiped it off his body with a disgusted expression. He threw a bowl of medicine to the head of her bed. "You're awake, right? Get up and prepare to set off with us," he said.
Su Mianmian's mind raced with questions. What was he saying? Who was he? What did he mean?
Li Mingzhe couldn't bear to see her so puzzled. He spoke coldly now, "Hurry up and put on your clothes, silly woman!"
Su Mianmian glared at him. She wasn't silly. She was just thinking about her problem!
"Who are you? Why are you asking me to go with you? I suspect that you're the one who kidnapped me!" Su Mianmian, who had recovered some of her strength, felt instantly energized. She didn't like to argue with others, but if someone wanted to bully her, she would never admit defeat.
He thought it was interesting that she suspected he had kidnapped her. He could not help but laugh. He crossed his arms and looked at her.
"I was right to say that you're stupid. If I kidnapped you, would I let you lie in such a comfortable place? I should send you to hell, silly woman." Li Mingzhe released his hands from his chest and went forward to pull her up from the bed.
"Hey, why did you do that? I haven't figured out who you are yet. What right do you have to touch me?" Su Mianmian struggled and raised her foot to kick him in the stomach.
He gritted his teeth in pain and threw her back onto the bed.
Suddenly, a man was standing by the door. He looked at everything in the room with a frantic expression and scolded, "Mingzhe, why did I let you in? Hurry up!"
Su Mianmian looked at the man standing by the door. Her eyes darted around. Based on her experience with the other, she could tell that this man was the real black-bellied one.
He looked dark, and he held a zombie-like expression. What was his relationship with the handsome man in the room? The man who was called Mingzhe. From their age and looks, they should be father and son!
Li Mingzhe said respectfully to the man outside by the door, "Yes, we can set off immediately."
The man at the door glanced at Su Mianmian expressionlessly. Without saying anything, he pulled up his sleeves and left.
Su Mianmian looked like she had just seen a ghost. She was still in a daze. What was going on?
Li Mingzhe saw this puzzled expression again and pulled the blanket off her impatiently. "Your life is in our hands now. We can take it at any time. If you know what's good for you, hurry up and leave."
Su Mianmian covered her neck and glared at him.
"I don't think I know you. Why are you threatening me?"
He bent down and placed his hands on her shoulders. With his gaze level to hers, he lifted the corners of his beautiful lips into a smile. He brushed his hand past her face, his smile became bewitching. "You don't know us, but we have just saved you. If it weren't for us, you would be dead. You should be on our side. Because the person who kidnapped you is..."
Who is it? Su Mianmian swallowed nervously, she stared straight ahead.
"Lu Wenzhong." He smiled as he read the name aloud.
Su Mianmian's almond-shaped eyes widened.
"How do you know? Who are you? Why did you save me?"
Li Mingzhe stood up, his back facing her. "It's not important who I am. What's important is that we helped you, and you're going to help us next. Stand on our side, understand?"
Of course she would not! All she knew was that the person who kidnapped her was Lu Xiangdong's father. The two people in front of her must be enemies of the Lu family.
"It's okay if you don't understand. You just have to remember that you owe us a favor." He laughed softly.
Su Mianmian felt her mind go numb. Of course, she knew that she now owed him a favor, but she hadn't agreed to stand on their side. This man was really ridiculous!
"What do you want to do? What do you think I can help you with? I'm a mainlander. I want to go back now. I can't stay in the Philippines forever!" She stood up excitedly.
He turned to look at her. "We're the same as you, from the mainland."
What? Su Mianmian was stunned again! Had she been moved? If she was still in the Philippines, it would be difficult for them to communicate with each other.
"You want to go back to the mainland? You want to go back?" His voice became very gentle, but unfortunately, his expression remained cold. He sounded strange.
Of course she wanted to go back to the mainland! However, Lu Xiangdong was still in the Philippines. How could she contact him? She had lost her phone.
"Do you have a phone? Can you lend it to me?"
Li Mingzhe bent down and patted her face. He said coldly, "You want to send someone to save you? You won't have that chance. Besides going back to the mainland with us, the only other option you have is death."
Su Mianmian felt a chill run through her body. Why did he always let people die? It was disgusting.
It seemed that it would be difficult to contact Lu Xiangdong. She wondered how Lu Xiangdong was doing now. She worried about the possibility of him running around after her.
