Chapter 252
Guan Xuefei’s gentle face showed concern.
“This time, you’re very confident, but you’re not foolproof after all, and I’m worried that once your business here is discovered, the other side will fall back on you and say that you’re colluding with the government and business.
The Lu family is in a high position, and although it is powerful enough, it is also extremely sensitive, and the public opinion of the people is frightening, and sometimes uninformed comments can easily turn into an extreme form of populism that can be exploited and end up acting like a lever to pry the entire Lu family.”
Jenny was silent for a moment.
She lowered her eyes slightly, thought about it, and suddenly said, “Miss Guan looks like she cares about the Lu family?”
Guan Xuefei was stunned.
Some didn’t keep up with her brain circuits.
It took a moment to respond, an unnatural look flashing across his face.
“Shen and I grew up together, and Grandma Lu and Aunt Lu are extremely nice to me, so of course I don’t want anything to happen to the Lu family.”
Jenny nodded.
She pondered for two seconds and then suddenly asked, “I heard that you were previously engaged?It seems…there was an old relationship?”
At the mention of this, Guan Xuefei’s face reddened.
The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you’re looking at, and you’ll be able to get a good idea of what you’re looking at.
Michelle Kwan whispered, “It’s been done.”
After a pause, he explained evenly, “But don’t get me wrong, although it’s true that at that time, I was very close to Deep, but that was all when I was a kid, Deep and I broke up five years ago, so there shouldn’t be anything in the future.”
Jenny nodded.
“Well, I know.”
Guan Xuefei stalled again.
Jenny looked at the sky and sensed that it was already late, so he said, “I’m going in, does Miss Guan want to keep blowing?”
Michelle Kwan managed a smile, “I’ll stay a little longer.”
“Well, the night breeze on the beach is quite cold, Miss Guan take care of your body, don’t blow too long.”
“I know, thank you Miss King for your concern.”
Jenny Jing then didn’t say anything else and got up to leave.
Soon, the news that the two had met in private was known to Biden Lu.
At that moment, Jenny had just finished taking a shower and came out of the bathroom, and saw the man walk in with a serious face.
She was a little confused, “What’s wrong?”
“Did Michelle Kwan call you?”
Jenny reacted with a dumb smile, “Yeah, why are you so nervous?”
“What did she say to you?”
Jenny’s eyes turned slightly.
Watching the man’s tense look suddenly took on a bad taste.
She said thoughtfully, “She said you’re her ex-boyfriend, and that you were once in a good relationship, and that although you’ve broken up now, you should still have a chance in the future.”
Biden Lu: “…….”
Jenny sighed.
“Alas!Do you think I’m crossing my fingers like that?”
Biden Lu’s tiger face, “Nonsense!I have nothing to do with her at all, I never agreed to go out with her, it’s just wishful thinking on the part of the elders of the family.”
Jenny tsked and shook her head, “Biden Lu, a man can’t be so irresponsible ah, people have defaulted to you being her boyfriend, but you say you’ve never dated, why does it sound so sc*mmy?”
She said, and patted him on the shoulder in a particularly generous manner.
“Don’t worry, I’m a very generous person and won’t get fussy with you after five years, so it’s okay to be honest.”
Biden Lu was so angry that his stomach hurt.
“It’s nothing if you say it’s nothing, don’t try to change the subject with me, besides that, what else did Michelle Kwan say to you?”
Jenny’s face stiffened.
She smiled awkwardly, “What else, woman to woman, it’s just that.”
“Are you sure?”
Jenny’s face was a little uncomfortable.
Honestly, she had planned this time around, but it was true that she hadn’t taken the land family into account.
Although she and Biden Lu hadn’t been together for a short time, she always intentionally or unintentionally wanted to avoid the strife over in Kyoto.
As if sensing her meaning, Biden Lu didn’t usually say this in front of her, so she didn’t know much about the Lu family’s affairs in Kyoto.
And as a result, at certain moments, she didn’t even take the influence of the land family into account.
This time, I have to say, it was an oversight on her part.
Jenny Jing felt a little guilty, if Biden Lu was really affected in any way because of her, she would definitely regret it to death.
After all, while revenge is important, the safety of those around you is even more important.
As if sensing her thoughts, Lu Jing sighed deeply.
Pulling her hand and holding it in her heart, she said in a deep voice, “Don’t listen to her nonsense and don’t imagine things, I’m your husband, if I don’t have the ability to do that, what qualifications do I have to talk about protecting you?”
Jenny was startled and raised his head.
In the light, the man looked calm, but his eyes were very serious.
“I give you permission to do what you want in your own way, but only if you don’t hide it from me, or change any decisions for fear of getting me into trouble.”
“But the Land…”
“The land will be fine.”
“Kwan Suet Faye said someone was targeting the Lu family?If something happens this time, what will the Lu family do then?”
Biden Lu smiled coolly.
Those gentle and calm eyes were overflowing with an icy cold light.
“Underestimate your man that much?If you can’t even handle this, the Lu family would have been crushed long ago!”
He said, touching her head reassuringly.
“Don’t worry, I’m here for everything, it’ll be fine, just feel free to do what you want.”
Jenny looked at him, half-heartedly, and nodded.
“Thank you, Biden Lu.”
The man smiled wickedly at the news.
“Do you want to thank me in a different way?”
Jenny knew what he wanted as soon as he looked into his eyes.
Giving him a vicious glare, “Don’t even think about it!Grandma and Ann are here, and they might come over sometime, just in case they bump into…”
Biden Lu showed an aggrieved expression.
“Honey, I just want a k*ss, what are you thinking?No wonder you’re thinking…”
Jenny stalled.
It was only then that it occurred to me that I had been played by this man again.
Getting annoyed, he raised his fist and punched him in the face.
“Biden Lu, you bastard!”
……..
That night, at three in the morning.
Clara, who was sleeping in the police station, was suddenly awakened by a sound.
She opened her eyes and in a blur saw a figure walking out quickly, while the door to her room, which had been closed tightly, was open, and a phone and a key by her own bed.
She sobered up with a jolt.
It was silent outside, as if everyone had been sent away, and she struggled for a few seconds to pick up her phone and keys and head out.
But there was no one in the corridor or outside, except for an on-duty security guard over there in the security room who was drowsily snoozing.
She didn’t break out in a cold sweat, but after only a moment’s hesitation, she quickly ran out with her phone and keys in hand.
Chapter 253
The night breeze brought up a few remaining leaves on the ground, spinning them in the air and dropping them.
The duty officer in the security room woke up with a jolt from the wind.
He looked ahead sleepily, vaguely seeing what looked like a shadow flashing by, but when he blinked again, it was gone.
That’s weird. Is he seeing things?
He stood up and rubbed his eyes, looking around to make sure that there was indeed nothing there, before sitting down again.
Clara has never dared to stop, afraid that the people behind will find out to chase after him.
It didn’t stop until it was running out onto the main road, which was a relief.
She stood there, leaning on her knees, not really having time to think about who had let her out until this moment.
If she wasn’t mistaken, a figure had walked out when she woke up.
Not surprisingly, the set of keys and the phone, and the open door, that the man had left for her on purpose.
Who is she?
Why?
Does she know herself?
Clara stood there and suddenly remembered that she had just run away, was this a prison break?
It shouldn’t count, she hasn’t been convicted of anything, just temporarily detained.
But I always felt uneasy.
After all, Kelly Wang had just dealt with her on the front foot, telling her to stay at the police station and they would find a way to save her.
But she ran out on her own on the back foot, and in any case, it would be difficult to justify herself by then.
Clara hadn’t felt a flash of fear until this moment, only just now had she focused on her instinctive consciousness to escape, only now had she remembered that even if she didn’t count as escaping from prison, it was no different from escaping from prison!
What to do?
Go back?
No, no.
Go back even less to explain.
She closed her eyes, only to find her temples aching from the cold wind, and her head even more like a mess that she couldn’t make sense of.
Just at that moment, the phone dinged.
She froze slightly and picked up her phone to see a message.
Her heart tightened and her fingertips trembled, clicking it away.
The only thing I saw on it was a picture of a woman at the beach, smiling in a beach dress facing the sun.
On the back of the photo, there was also an address written on the back of the photo, and it was the address of the island of Habitat for Humanity.
Clara’s pupils widened in shock.
Jenny?She’s on the island?
No wonder, he had searched so hard in Visterdem that he hadn’t even dug up the ground to find her.
So she left Visterdem a long time ago!
That fuking btch!
Clara gritted her teeth in anger, but then immediately thought, who sent this message?
Only the sender is an email address, and if the other party intends to hide their identity, it should be impossible to find them based on that address alone.
She didn’t frown.
But whoever sent her this photo should not be trying to harm her since they sent it to her.
After all, everyone knew now how important Jenny’s whereabouts were to her!
Thinking of this, Clara couldn’t help but reveal a smirk.
Jenny, just you wait!
Trying to set me up, aren’t you?I’m going to come over there right now and grab you myself, and I’ll see how you explain it to the media and the public then!
That night, Clara bought a ticket from the black market for a boat to the island of Sumi Ning and was going to find someone there.
This is something that she doesn’t dare to voice right now.
For one thing, it was an improper way to get out, and for another, having learned her lesson a few times before, she was afraid of another accident before she actually caught someone.
Therefore, before she left, she didn’t tell anyone except for sending a text message to Yu.
……..
On this day, Jenny was teaching Anan how to play with clay sculpture when he suddenly received a call from Xiao He.
Said Yu Xiu Lian went to Starflight to make a scene again.
She sighed, somewhat helpless, and had to let Yu Xiu Lian answer the phone.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the call came through, I heard the other person yell at me.
Jenny frowned, having little patience for a handful of strangles.
She gave them the opportunity to have a conversation with her with the assurance that it was safe for no one to hear, but that didn’t mean she was willing to listen to invective that made no sense and had dirty ears.
Ann watched her as she answered the phone and hung up again a few moments later, curious.
“Aren’t you happy, Mummy?Did someone piss you off?”
Jenny smiled at her.
“No, it’s just that there are always some cockroaches and bedbugs in the world that we don’t like, but we can’t put an end to them, it’s fine, just ignore them.”
Ann nodded thoughtfully.
In the next second, seriously, “Ann doesn’t like cockroaches and bedbugs either, but don’t worry mommy, Ann is all grown up, and the next time you encounter them, Ann will shoot them for you!”
Jenny looked at the child’s seriousness and couldn’t help but giggle.
“Well, my Ann is so sweet, come on, let’s get on with the clay sculpting!”
“Well.”
Half an hour later, a simple clay sculpture was completed, and Ann was a little tired, so Jenny took her to wash her hands and sent her back to her room to rest.
When I came out, I got a call from Ho.
“Well?”
Ho’s tone was a little less difficult.
“Sister Jenny, Clara… has disappeared.”
Jenny was stunned and raised his eyebrows.
“What do you mean?”
“It was found missing the night before last, and we’ve been looking for a long time here, and Yu Xiulian for some reason flatly decided that you had gotten her away, and also showed me the text message Clara sent her before she left, saying that she knew where you were and came over to look for you.”
Jenny frowned slightly.
“Did the text message say the address?”
“That’s not true, but it’s a strange thing, but since the person was lost from the police station, there’s a lot of responsibility there, so no one dares to make a noise now.
The media outside still doesn’t know about this and was suppressed by the police, and Yu Xiu Lian has searched everywhere but couldn’t find her, that’s why she made a scene at the company, claiming that she wants you to hand over Clara!”
Jenny snickered.
“Is she Clara made of gold?Why should I hide her from you?Tell her straight out that I haven’t seen or contacted Clara.
And there’s not much time left for her, what I mentioned to her earlier, if she thinks about it, contact me, if not, don’t bother her the next time she makes a scene.”
He nodded, “Okay, I got it.”
Hanging up the phone, Jenny frowned in contemplation and turned on his computer to look for the news above.
As in, Clara’s escape was not made public on the network.
Because Kelly Wang had already brought someone to Star Fai once before to make trouble, so even if Yu Xiu Lian went to make trouble again this time, it wouldn’t hurt.
Just what puzzled her was that Jing claimed to already know where he was and had run away to catch him?
The thing, how it looks, reveals the weirdness.
Jenny sat there, quietly thinking about it, and had been thinking about it for a long time without coming up with anything.
Until a few very soft knocks suddenly sounded behind him.
Chapter 254
,,Guan Xuefei stood in the doorway, there is a small suitcase next to her hand, see her turn around, then smiled: “Miss Jing, I’m not disturbing you.”
Jenny Jing restrained his mind and walked over.
“No.”
Her gaze fell on the suitcase next to Guan Xuefei and she was appalled, “Leaving so soon?”
“Well, I’m just taking a few promotional photos of endorsement products nearby, and when I learned that Grandma Lu was here, I came here on a whim, I can’t take much time off over there, so I have to go back today.”
Jenny nodded.
“Then I’ll give you a lift.”
Guan Xue Fei shook her head and smiled, “No, I came over just to say hello, my assistant has already come over and is waiting for me downstairs, I’ll just go down by myself.”
Jenny wasn’t sure if she was being polite on purpose, or if she had good intentions of not wanting her assistant to see her.
But she didn’t insist any longer and nodded her head.
“Then be careful on your way.”
“Well, so are you.”
Only after seeing Guan Xuefei leave did Jenny remember the question he had just asked.
The reason why Clara had escaped and sent that kind of message to Yu Xiu Lian, she should have received something.
Who had delivered the message to her?
Cheryl Kwan?
It doesn’t look like it.
After all, what she had done on the Perching Island was now known only to Guan Xue Fei, apart from the Lu family.
If this news is revealed, Guan Xuefei is the biggest suspect choice, even if she won’t do it for the sake of her image in the old lady and Biden Lu’s mind.
Who the hell is that?
Also, Clara was only a few hours away from Visterdem since she already knew that she was on the island of Sianing, and it was only a few hours from Visterdem.
Why isn’t she here yet?Or even disappeared somehow?
What’s going on in this, anyway?
Jenny only felt as if a mist was enveloping his eyes, and his mind was so confused that he couldn’t straighten it out.
The good news is that at the moment it’s just Clara who’s missing and nothing else has happened yet.
The only solution now is to hold back and see what happens next.
Thinking this way, Jenny didn’t think about it any more and went out to find An An.
And the other side.
In the cold, damp cabin, Clara woke up in a daze.
Her head was still a little dizzy, and her eyes were so heavy that she couldn’t open them, and when she managed to open them a fraction, she was only aware of darkness around her.
There was a line of light coming in from a short distance away, and a figure could be faintly seen shifting.
What is this place?
She thought consciously, remembering that she had only recently boarded the ship and had eaten some of the snacks the ship had prepared because she was so hungry, and then she seemed to fall asleep.
And then….
Clara frowned, thinking vaguely, and then what happened?
The memory was mobilized and confused, as if it had been moved around and finally locked in a dark room.
No!
Clara instantly woke up, and almost subconsciously, she bounced off the ground.
There was only darkness, and an open door in front of it that wasn’t closed tightly, letting in some light.
Her hands were tied behind her back, her feet were tied, there was a wooden floor beneath her, and she exuded a salty dampness and a whimper of wind in her ears, like she was on a ship.
On a boat?
The knowledge made Kyo slightly alarmed, her hands aching from the tight strangulation of her wrists from being tied so tightly.
She frowned and struggled free a few times, not
Breaking away, it instead wrapped its wrist in more and more pain.
Her heart sank slightly, and she pursed her lips, moving with difficulty towards the doorway, using the line of light to make out the figure shifting outside through the doorway.
That back….so familiar!
Where do I think I’ve seen this before?
Only in the moonlight, the figure turned and was walking towards her.
She was dressed in a light blue casual suit and wore a silver mask on her face so she couldn’t see her face.
But can see that she is tall, not fat and not thin figure just right, will walk unconsciously head up, and the gait is clean, should not be an ordinary person.
Clara’s face was slightly pale, and sensing that the other party was coming towards the room she was in, she even retreated back to sit where she had sat when she woke up.
The door to the cabin creaked open.
The visitor was standing in the doorway and was surprised to see her awake.
“With that heavy dose, I thought you wouldn’t wake up until tomorrow morning, but you seem to be in good shape.”
The clear voice, with a slight hint of indifference, didn’t sound very old.
Clara endured the fear in her heart and asked in a trembling voice, “Who are you?”
“You think I’d tell you?”
Clara stalled.
The other party walked around her twice and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to you, but just let you stay here for a period of time, food and drink every day someone will naturally bring you over, will not treat you badly.
When the time comes, I’ll naturally release you, so in the meantime, I also hope that you’ll behave yourself and not think of escaping, otherwise I can’t guarantee anything will happen, do you understand?”
Clara was furious.
I was out looking for someone, but now I’ve been kidnapped?
She suddenly remembered something and looked sharply at her visitor.
“That phone from before, and that text message, you sent me?”
I thought the other party would deny it, but they nodded.
“I sent it to you.”
Clara widened her pupils for a moment.
“Are you lying to me?”
“I’m not lying to you, Jenny is indeed on the Island of Perching, but I can’t let you go to her yet because I have more important things I need you to do.”
Clara was getting confused by her.
“What do you want me to do?”
“I just said yah, let you stay here for a while, don’t worry, I won’t hurt you.”
“You tied me up and that doesn’t hurt me?”
“That’s just because I was afraid you’d have to escape.”
The other said, suddenly sighing.
“I don’t really want this, but I have no other choice, you already have a very loving family, so why are you so greedy for more?
But I can understand that. As the saying goes, people go higher, water flows lower.Even if it’s not your own, you still want to fight for it if you get the chance, right?
So I don’t blame you, and I tied you up this time because I didn’t want you to do something I’d hate!
I’ll just lock you up for three days, after that you can go wherever you want, I don’t give a shit.
And don’t worry, to make up for your loss, I’ll help you find the person you’re looking for after this is over, so that we’re considered you and me, and we don’t owe each other anything.”
Clara was so angry that she was about to vomit blood.
What do you mean, we’re even?
The reason she didn’t contact anyone and came directly by boat to perching island that night was to come and catch Jenny by surprise.
And now you’re stuck here for three days?
