Is the boss made of iron? Why is he still energetic and shows no signs of fatigue?
The assistant had more sleep and ate better than him these past few days, but right now he could hardly hold up.
Lu Lingche glanced at him, “You go first, I’ll drive home later. I’ll give you a day off tomorrow, and after tomorrow you’ll accompany me on a business trip.”
“Thank you, President Lu. I’ll leave first.”
Lu Lingche had more than one assistant, yet the only one he most comfortably and profoundly trusts is this one. Another assistant was arranged by Lu Mingzhen, who took care of some unimportant work.
He worked until early morning before preparing to leave the office. Before leaving, he usually logged into the crisis hacker network to message Godkiller, asking him to help fix the video.
His message count had already accumulated to dozens, but unfortunately, it seemed as if Godkiller had disappeared and no longer replied to him.
He closed the computer, walked out of the office, and his bodyguard greeted him, “President Lu, it’s still raining outside. I’ll drive you home.”
“No need. You can go off work too!”
Although Lu Lingche was cold to others, his subordinates were not robots. They too needed rest, and he wouldn’t be inhumane in this regard.
After the bodyguard left, he drove himself home, took off his suit, and went to the bathroom.
The bathroom was filled with the scent of soap, carrying a bit of woody cool fragrance. It smelled great.
He turned on the shower, letting the warm water wash away his fatigue.
Using Qiao Yin’s handmade soap, he found the foam to be delicate and soft, very functional.
However, his mood wasn’t so good because he remembered that Qiao Yin had given Officer Li several bars.
After washing, he went to the bedroom to sleep.
Unknowingly, he once again fell into a dream.
Midnight, waning moon, a cemetery full of tombstones.
Two kidnappers were having a heated argument, while Qiao Yin lay on the ground, with her hands and feet tied up.
Violent arguing woke her up. Struggling, she sat up, fear in her eyes.
Seeing that she was awake, the kidnappers stopped arguing—the older kidnapper approached her and placed his chilling long knife against her neck.
Qiao Yin pleaded for mercy, but the kidnapper turned a deaf ear.
The long knife was lifted and then swiftly fallen, splashing a big patch of blood that dyed an unknown tombstone red.
With a scream, Qiao Yin fell into a pool of blood.
Lu Lingche’s heart suddenly ached, and he bolted upright from the dream, “Qiao Yin!”
The bedroom was enveloped in darkness, no tombstones, no kidnappers, no Qiao Yin.
He took a few seconds to steady himself and let out a breath.
This was the second time.
Why did he dream of Qiao Yin’s death again?
And this time, it felt so real, so clear, as if the event had truly happened.
There seemed to be a voice telling him that he had done something wrong.
The mobile phone suddenly rang.
Lu Lingche glanced at it, and as expected, it was Lan Yuyi.
Only she would call without considering whether it was day or night, whether he was working or resting, and without any hesitation.
He answered the call, “Yuyi.”
Lan Yuyi was crying, “Lingche, there’s another thunderstorm. Why haven’t you come to accompany me? I’m so scared. I can’t sleep with the fear that I’ll be struck by lightning the moment I close my eyes. And since being kidnapped, I’m terrified of the dark. I’m really really scared…”
Lu Lingche frowned, “Wasn’t Mrs. Lan with you all day? Can’t you sleep even with her company?”
“The news of my kidnapping has scared my mother so much that she caught a high fever and had to be hospitalized. Today, she barely managed to accompany me to the police station.”
Lan Yuyi cried pitifully, “Lingche, please come to accompany me. Begging you, please come quickly. I really can’t sleep alone in this weather. And, my stomach hurts a little. I don’t know if it’s because I’m so scared that it’s affecting our baby.”
Lu Lingche was silent for a while, and finally spoke, “Okay, I’m on my way.”
He ended the call, changed his clothes, and drove out.
But to his surprise, when he reached the destination, he realized he was not at Lan Yuyi’s place, but at Qiao Yin’s home..
