Chapter 378: Lu Zhiyuan, You Can’t Die!

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Gu Ziyu was very afraid, knowing full well that Lu Zhiyuan could teleport, but he was still afraid. His father had an inexplicable connection to car accidents, dying in one and being critically injured in another, hanging on the brink of death. And now, he had fallen into a valley.

He was the world’s best race car driver, yet he frequently died or got injured in car accidents. What irony!

Gu Ziyu looked up at Jiang Junlin with a calm expression. “I know they will be fine.”

This was a belief!

His parents would surely be okay; they would come back to him!

“You’ve stayed up all night here. Go back and rest,” Jiang Junlin said. Though Gu Ziyu wanted to stay here for news, Jiang Junlin added, “Ji Chi and 1 will handle everything. We’ll inform you as soon as we have any updates. If you don’t rest, your Uncle Chen has been here with you all night and can’t handle it. Be obedient.”

Gu Ziyu looked at Chen Liangdong. He had indeed stayed up all night after accompanying Gu Ziyu here. It was also winter, and it was cold on the mountain, and there was a meeting in the afternoon.

“Alright, Uncle, if there’s any news, let me know first thing.”

“I will.”

Chen Liangdong and Gu Ziyu were taken back by Chen Fei. Chen Liangdong had been making phone calls on the mountain the whole time. Lu Zhiyuan’s accident had a significant impact, and there were inquiries from various parties.

It was unclear who had taken action, but Old Zhang had negotiated with Lu Zhiyuan the day before and failed to reach an agreement. Shortly after, Lu Zhiyuan had his accident. Old Zhang was also frantic, like an ant on a hot pan.

He told Chen Liangdong, “I have absolutely nothing to do with this!”

“I know you care about your reputation and wouldn’t get involved in such matters. They won’t think it’s your doing either. Don’t worry,” Chen Liangdong said. “There’s no definitive conclusion to this incident yet. Lu Zhiyuan has made many enemies, and we don’t know who discovered his whereabouts.

Don’t be too impatient. We’ll discuss it further when there’s more information.”

After Chen Liangdong hung up the phone, Gu Ziyu asked, “Can we trust him?” He didn’t trust these old foxes too much. They were very cunning. His trust in Chen Liangdong was due to their old friendship, and he knew Chen Liangdong genuinely cared for him and had been busy his whole life.

“Yes, it’s too foolish to kill someone immediately after negotiations break down. Old Zhang is far from being a fool,” Chen Liangdong said as he ruffled Gu Ziyu’s hair. “You haven’t slept all night, and you’re overworking yourself. You’re still growing, and you don’t need to be at the afternoon meeting.”

Chen Fei couldn’t help but speak up, “Ziyu, you’re working yourself too hard, staying up all night. Your body can’t handle it. You’re still growing, and you don’t have to attend the afternoon meeting.”

Chen Liangdong nodded. “Listen to what Chen Fei is saying. Go home and rest. Consider it an order.”

The search team combed the valley until 3 o’clock in the afternoon, confirming that they were not in the mountains. One man and one woman injured by Ji Chi were carried into a vehicle, and Black Hawk and The triad evacuated everyone. If they didn’t evacuate after they found Lu Zhiyuan and Gu Ci, it would raise suspicion. Ji Chi and Jiang Junlin both felt that someone was still watching them on the mountain, and the camp had a mixed group of people. To gain the trust of others, they had to evacuate everyone.

They also prepared for the worst-case scenario.

Rong Li, with the informant, had been busy for more than ten hours, uncovering several useful clues. All of them involved fake license plates, and they had all gone missing. The main issue was that some of the surveillance cameras in the suburbs of Area A were malfunctioning, making it impossible to retrieve any footage. Even traffic lights had faulty cameras. Rong Li couldn’t believe how absurd the situation was.

“In the suburbs, out of thirty traffic lights, eleven cameras are malfunctioning. What’s the point of installing them if they’re just for decoration?” Rong Li was irritable, and it’s no wonder they got lost.

Ji Chi massaged his temples with a headache. He had heard Jiang Junlin scold Lu Zhiyuan, and now Rong Li was berating the traffic management department. He had a severe headache, and no one had called them.

In theory, if Lu Zhiyuan had been kidnapped, there should have been a message by now.

“Third Master should be fine,” Li Jiang said. After all, he could teleport; he couldn’t have been kidnapped. But bringing Miss Gu, things got uncertain.

“Even if he’s fine, it’s been more than a day, and we haven’t received a single call. He can’t have flown out of A City with wings,” Ji Chi said with some impatience. They had prepared for the worst-case scenario, but they still hoped that Lu Zhiyuan and Gu Ci hadn’t been taken by someone.

Rong Li asked, “Could it be the old Chen family’s doing?”

“I don’t know, we’ve sent people to investigate.”

After leaving Zhang’s house yesterday, Lu Zhiyuan and Ji Chi had gone to see the head of the old Chen family. The conversation hadn’t gone well, but if their conversation with the old Chen family hadn’t gone well, neither had Old Zhang’s conversation with them.

They couldn’t have developed murderous intent over this, right?

That would be too foolish!

Li Jiang said, “It’s possible it’s an enemy of the Third Master. Since his identity was exposed, he’s been recuperating and hasn’t been alone, so things have been calm.”

“If it’s an enemy, the scope becomes wider!” Rong Li said. “Who knows which unfinished business they’re trying to settle.”

Ji Chi didn’t respond.

“Do you have any news from Jiang Junlin’s side?” Rong Li asked. In A City, whether it was connections or familiarity, they were not as well-versed as Jiang Junlin.

Ji Chi shook his head. Jiang Junlin hadn’t found much useful information either. They were all waiting for a phone call.

This kind of waiting was the most agonizing.

In the valley, Gu Ci slowly regained consciousness. She had a splitting headache, having hit the back of her head on a rock and lost consciousness. She was awakened by the sound of birds. Gu Ci felt as if there were a heavy stone on her chest, making it hard to breathe. When she regained her strength, she found Lu Zhiyuan lying on her chest. Gu Ci didn’t know if there were still enemies in the mountains, so she lowered her voice, “Lu Zhiyuan…”

Lu Zhiyuan didn’t respond. Frowning, Gu Ci pushed him gently. “Third Brother, wake up.”

But Lu Zhiyuan still didn’t react. Gu Ci grew anxious and pushed him away. Lu Zhiyuan fell to the side, and Gu Ci saw a large bloodstain on her chest. There was no obvious external injury on her body, just a scraped wound from rolling down the mountain, which wouldn’t have caused so much bleeding. It had to be Lu Zhiyuan’s injuries. Gu Ci was frantic. She quickly checked Lu Zhiyuan and found a piece of glass embedded deep in his back. Due to the rolling fall into the valley, the glass had penetrated into his flesh and couldn’t be pulled out.

Gu Ci’s face turned pale. Besides the glass, there were also sharp stones that had cut into his waist and abdomen, causing profuse bleeding. Gu Ci checked his breathing, which was extremely weak.

Gu Ci was drenched in cold sweat. She tore off her down jacket, used all the goose down to block his wounds, and tightly wrapped them with cotton fabric to stop the bleeding. Lu Zhiyuan’s body was cold from excessive blood loss, and Gu Ci held him close. He leaned weakly against her shoulder.

“Lu Zhiyuan, you can’t die!” Another car accident, damn it, another car accident!

Gu Ci looked up at the cave they had fallen into. It was high and deep, with no chance of climbing out while carrying Lu Zhiyuan. After looking at Lu Zhiyuan again, she made a decision. She couldn’t just sit and wait. She had to go out first to find help for Lu Zhiyuan. Every minute she delayed, Lu Zhiyuan’s life was in more danger..
