The paper on the dining table... "disappeared!"
These three words were like a sledgehammer, shattering An Luo Wei's chest.
"NO!"
She screamed heartbreakingly, spinning upstairs. "Xiao Tao! Xiao Tao, where are you? Don't joke with me!"
She rushed into the boy's bedroom. The bedding was still neat. The toy room was quiet. Not a sound.
Lu Bei Shen rushed after her. But he didn't panic. His face instantly turned from ice... into an absolute killing machine.
"Mrs. Li!" He roared. His aura exploded, no longer concealed.
"MRS. LU!" Assistant Zhang's voice (who had just followed in) rang out from the basement. "Mrs. Li is here! In the wine cellar!"
Lu Bei Shen moved. An Luo Wei didn't have time to see what he did, only saw a black shadow flash by, and the next second, he was in the basement, carrying the unconscious Mrs. Li up.
"Splash water!" He ordered.
Whoosh!
Mrs. Li woke up, completely panicked. "President Lu! Young... young master... I... Ah!"
"Speak!" Lu Bei Chen squeezed her shoulder tightly. "What happened?"
"I... I was preparing dinner... the doorbell rang. A flower delivery person... said it was a gift from President Lu to Mrs. Lu... Congratulations on your successful presentation..."
An Luo Wei's heart stopped beating. A gift... congratulating her?
"I just signed... that person... sprayed something on my face... I..." Mrs. Li cried. "I don't know anything anymore! President Lu! Young master! It's my fault!"
A trap. A carefully calculated trap, aimed at the exact moment when she and Lu Bei Chen were still at the company.
"It's my fault..." An Luo Wei staggered, leaning against the wall, her body sliding down to the ground. "It's me... it's me... If I hadn't argued with you... If we had gone back earlier... If I hadn't..."
She buried her face in her hands, sobbing in despair.
"Shut up!"
Lu Bei Shen roared. He wasn't yelling at her. He was yelling at her weakness.
He stepped forward, pulling her up roughly. He forced her to look straight into his eyes.
"What's the use of crying?"
He looked at her. And for the first time, An Luo Wei didn't see coldness or teasing in his eyes.
She saw... something even more terrifying.
Lu Bei Shen's black eyes, deep, now seemed to have a smoldering icy blue flame. They weren't human eyes.
"An Luo Wei, listen carefully." His voice was low, but resonant, as if coming from another dimension. "It didn't run away. It was kidnapped."
"You... you know..."
"And I," he said, unconsciously using the pronoun "I", "know exactly who did it."
An Luo Wei was stunned. "Jiang... Su Ru?"
Lu Bei Chen didn't answer. He took out his phone. He didn't call the police.
He dialed a single number.
"Activate 'Heavenly Net'."
Assistant Zhang standing next to him heard these four words, his face drained of color. "Heavenly Net" (Heavenly Net) was the supreme private security system of the Emperor God, a surveillance and intelligence network that could "turn upside down" this entire S city in 10 minutes. It had never been activated, because the price to pay was... enormous.
But Lu Bei Chen didn't care.
"Seal off all roads out of S city. Search for every white flower delivery van in the past two hours." He ordered, "Check the account of 'Ghost'. And... find me Jiang Suo Ru's location. Immediately."
His calmness was even more terrifying than his rage. This was the calmness of an Emperor... before he decided to 'bathe blood' in Jiu Chongtian.
Lu Beichen's inner thoughts:
'Xiao Tao is a fairy fetus. She is not an ordinary child. Su Jin... you dare to touch her? You dare to touch the only weakness between me and Wei Wei?
In my previous life, I held back. In this life... I will let you know what 'soul-destroying-dispersing' is!'
Ring... Ring...
Lu Beichen's personal phone rang.
A series of strange numbers.
Lu Beichen signaled to Assistant Zhang. Assistant Zhang immediately opened the tracking device on his laptop.
He picked up the phone.
"Lu Beichen." His voice was so cold that it could freeze hell.
"Ah..." A clear, yet malicious laugh sounded from the other end of the line. "Brother Jing... Why is your voice so scary? I just wanted to call to congratulate you."
It was Jiang Suo Ru.
An Luo Wei held her breath, quickly covering her mouth to prevent herself from crying.
"Are you looking for my 'little bun'?" Jiang Suo Ru said calmly, confirming all the crimes. "She's really cute. She looks like you... but also like that bitch."
Bang! Lu Bei Chen clenched his phone tightly, the most expensive smartphone on the market cracked.
"Where is she?" He asked.
"I don't know."
"Jiang. Suo Ru." Lu Bei Chen said each word, "What do you want?"
"What do you want?" Jiang Suo Ru laughed out loud. "I want... your wife Lu, to lose her reputation! I want her 'Starry Moon Eternal' design... to become a laughing stock!"
"I want... you." Her voice became possessive. "Brother Canh, you came here alone. To the abandoned warehouse at Pier 4. If I see anyone else... or if you call the police..."
She stopped. A "beep" sound rang out.
And then, there was Lu Tian'an's scream... of pain.
"MOM! SAVE ME! MOM!"
Xiao Tao's heartbreaking scream made An Luo Wei completely collapse.
"Xiao Tao!" She screamed.
"Did you hear that?" Jiang Su Ru sneered. "Alone. If not... you just wait and pick up your son's body!"
Beep...beep...beep...
The call ended.
Lu Bei Shen stood still. The room was deathly silent.
An Luo Wei trembled as she looked at him. She saw... his shoulders were shaking. Not because of fear. But because of anger.
He turned his head.
In that moment, An Luo Wei swore that she saw his eyes... turn icy blue. Just for a millisecond.
"An Luo Wei." He said.
"You... stay home."
"NO!" She immediately stood up. "I'm going with you! It... it called me! It needs me!"
"It's too dangerous."
"I don't care!" An Luo Wei dared to face his anger for the first time. "Lu Bei Chen, you tricked me into getting married! You pushed me into this mess! Jiang Su Ru targeted me because of you! Your son... is also my son!"
The last sentence, she said unconsciously, but with certainty.
Lu Bei Chen looked at her in shock.
"If you don't let me go," she gritted her teeth, "I'll go myself. If you stop me... then I'll die!"
Wei Xian Zi's stubbornness... had returned.
Lu Bei Chen looked at her deeply. Instead of getting angry, he nodded. "Okay."
He threw her a tiny bluetooth headset. "Put it on. Follow my every command. No arguing."
He looked at Assistant Zhang. "5 minutes. Have 'Falcon' surround pier 4. Absolutely do not let her escape."
He turned to An Lac Vi and pulled her out the door. "Go."
The battle... officially began.
