Chapter 163: You ‘re Next

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Sweat gathered on Cheng Lang’s forehead and dripped onto Xing Shu l s bosom. In a daze, he stared at Xing Shu’s flushed face. By the time it ended, Xing Shu had already fallen asleep. Her whole being was pervaded by a dreamy languor when she heard Cheng Lang’s cell phone ring. Immediately, the mattress trembled. Cheng Lang picked up the cell phone and asked in a gentle voice, “Jin Yue, what’s the matter?”

As if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her, Xing Shu buried her face in the blanket and felt a stabbing pain in her heart.

Cheng Lang got up—put on his pajamas—and walked to the window wall. “Did Father say that? When?”

Xing Shu did not know what Jin Yue said on the other end of the line. Cheng Lang was silent for a moment before saying, ‘You make the arrangements then.” He hung up and walked to the bed. He looked up and tucked Xing Shu in before turning to leave.

After the door closed, Xing Shu slowly opened her eyes. She heard footsteps outside the corridor. He seemed to have gone to the study. She turned over, disturbed by the name of Jin Yue. After a long time, she laughed self-deprecatingly. Was he going to meet the Jin family to discuss the marriage? She touched her chest. She knew that she did not even have the right to be jealous. She had to manage her emotions and not be discovered by

anyone, especially not Cheng Lang.

The next morning, Xing Shu woke up bright and early. She wanted to say goodbye to Cheng Lang, but Jian Yaochuan said that he had gone to the office early in the morning. Disappointment flashed across Xing Shu’s eyes. But on second thoughts, she thought that this was good in a way. Her feelings from last night had lingered until now. She could take advantage of this business trip to calm down.

Xing Shu returned to her apartment to pack up. She took her computer and documents and set off. As she was in a hurry, she did not look at her cell phone. It was not until she got into a cab that she saw a message from Nie Xi:

“Xing Shu, have you heard? Liu Chun is missing.”

Xing Shu frowned. Liu Chun was missing? She replied to Nie Xi: “Are you sure? She attended the Xing family’s banquet last night, right?” No wonder the Liu family did not find trouble with her yesterday. It turned out that Liu Chun was missing. But why was Liu Chun missing? She had not heard anything about it.

Nie Xi replied: “The Liu family said that Liu Chun went to the Xing family’s banquet. The police also interviewed a few people. Someone said that they saw Liu Chun go talk to Xing Linlin and that she hasn’t appeared since.”

Missing after meeting Xing Linlin? Was it related to Xing Linlin? However, based on Xing Shu l s understanding of Xing Linlin, Xing Linlin would not leave behind such an obvious clue. Moreover, Xing Linlin had no reason to harm Liu Chun. Something must have happened last night that had not been investigated.

Nie Xi sent another message: “Xing Shu, be careful. I don’t know who’s behind Liu Chun missing, nor do I know who they’re targeting. Before anything is clear, protect yourself.”

Xing Shu had the same feeling. She was not sure who did it. As soon as she got out of the cab, her cell phone beeped. It was a new message from an unfamiliar number: “You’re next.”

In addition to this warning-style text, there was also a photograph of Liu Chun lying on the ground in a sorry state. Her hands and feet were tied up, and her eyes were covered with a thick black cloth. She was covered in wounds and looked like she was barely alive. This seemed to be a threatening message from the kidnappers? Xing Shu frowned and contacted the police directly. She sent them this phone number, and the police replied quickly, “Miss Xing Shu, this is a burner phone. Moreover, the other party’s location signal is sometimes absent. They must have used counter reconnaissance methods. It’s a professional crime. We will send someone to protect you as soon as possible.”

Xing Shu was about to say that she was going overseas for a business trip when her cell phone beeped again. It was the same number. It was a photograph of her standing outside the airport. From the angle, the person who took the photograph was very near or around her.

Xing Shu’s face instantly darkened as she called the police. “I’ve already been targeted. I’m outside the airport. There are many people here. The other party won’t attack for the time being. I hope you can arrive as soon as possible.” The police replied, “Miss Xing Shu, don’t worry. We’ve already on the way.” Xing Shu’s heart raced uncontrollably. After hanging up, she stayed in the most conspicuous position in the crowd and did not move. Guns were prohibited in the country, so there would not be chaos. She was also vigilant of every person who approached her.

Just then, her cell phone beeped again. “You’ll only die faster if you go overseas..”
