Selena picked up the pistol and the spray from the ground. She cast a sidelong glance at Murong Si, who was half-lying down, and without wanting to speak more to Gu Li, she directly lifted the spray and targeted Gu Li’s face with a random spray.
Gu Li struggled a few times, but ultimately couldn’t resist the effect of the drug, and she fell into a drowsy sleep.
Seeing her unconscious, Murong Si slowly stood up, dusting the dust off his body.
“Leader!”
Selena and the assassins bowed in unison to greet him.
Murong Si scanned around. His deep gaze fell on Gu Li’s peaceful face, and after a pause of few seconds, he instructed coldly:
“Proceed as planned.”
“Yes!”
Gu family, Pear Garden.
Not long after Gu Li left, Shiting woke up.
Unable to find Little Pear anywhere, and unable to reach her via phone, he felt something was very wrong. He became more convinced that his deep sleep had something to do with her—he suspected that she had drugged him.
Thinking about the deep concern she seemed to be hiding earlier, Shiting couldn’t help but feel restless.
As such, he immediately called Lu Yang, “Track Gu Li’s whereabouts immediately.”
“Yes, young master.”
Lu Yang was swift, and in less than five minutes, he told him, “Young Master, Young Madam and Murong Si have gone to the fishing port dock together.” “She and Murong Si?”
Shiting frowned. Before he could think about why she would drug him and then go meet Murong Si, Lu Yang added, “Because Murong Qian has been kidnapped.”
What?
Ten minutes later, Shiting and Lu Yang gathered at the entrance of the Gu residence, prepared to head for the dock for the rescue.
But just a moment before they set off, a message from an unknown number came in.
“Shiting, your wife is in our hands. If you want her to stay alive, come to Warehouse 2 at the fishing port dock alone. If you do not show up within an hour, prepare to collect her body!”
Shiting’s handsome face froze, and his thin lips tightened, doing his best to conceal his anger.
Seeing Lu Yang had already started the engine, he commanded coldly, “Get out of the car, I am going alone.”
“No, young master, I cannot let you risk going alone.”
Lu Yang refused to comply no matter what was said.
Shiting had no patience to argue, his voice lowering, “Get out! Don’t make me say it a third time.”
“Young master, I…”
“Lu Yang!!!”
“…Yes.”
Having been at Shiting’s side for many years, Lu Yang understood his temperament. Knowing that a stalemate wouldn’t change the young master’s mind, and might even hinder his plans, he obediently complied.
“Young master, please take care.”
With great reluctance, he got off the driver’s seat.
The next second, the sound of the ‘bang’ signaled the car door being closed by Shiting. In the blink of an eye, the car disappeared into the night like a bolt from the blue.
Lu Yang clenched his fist, feeling more and more uneasy. He turned around and made a call, gathering all of Mo’s guards in A Nation.
Fishing port dock, Warehouse N0.2.
Gu Li woke up and found herself tied to a pole. Murong Si was tied to the pole next to her. She finally remembered everything that happened before she passed out.
Perhaps Selena knew that the person who had appeared wasn’t Brother Ting, so she tied her up here to use as bait to lure Ting to come here.
However, the sleeping drug that she had given Ting was enough to put an adult to sleep for eight hours. Ting wouldn’t wake up so quickly, would he?
She hoped so; otherwise, everything she had done would be meaningless.
She looked around, but she didn’t see anyone.
Did the people of the Black Blood League think she wouldn’t wake up?
Is their guard really so lax?
Gu Li’s eyes flickered. She moved her hands, which were tied behind her, trying to untie the rope that bound her.
At this moment, Murong Si also “woke up”.
He raised his eyes toward her, sounding weak, “Little Pear…”
Hearing his voice, Gu Li looked at him, her tone full of concern: “Brother Si, are you alright?”
“I… am alright, thank you for your concern.”
Murong Si smiled at her, yet in the next second, grimaced in apparent pain, pretending to be having discomfort at the heart.
Just as Gu Li was about to say something, she spotted several hidden figures from the corners of her eyes.
Damn!
Were they planning to shoot Ting?
Gu Li’s heart was in her throat, itching to rush out immediately.
Unfortunately, despite her best efforts to struggle, she couldn’t untie the ropes that bound her.
“Selena, come out!”
“Selena-”
In her desperation, she called out to Selena, “If you dare touch a hair on Shiting, Gu family won’t let you off!”
