Chapter 1028: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Kidnapping (113)
When she left the restaurant, the snow outside had already stopped.
Once again, Xu Yuan came and left in a hurry. Zuo Yue had to prepare for her final exams, so her mother asked her to go back to study. She did not need to send her off.
Hence, after Xu Chengfeng rushed over from the company, he drove Xu Yuan directly to the airport. Zuo Yue was supposed to take a taxi back to the villa, but it was not too far away from the villa. It would take about five minutes to get there by taxi, and it would take less than twenty minutes to walk.
Even on a snowy night, there were many pedestrians on the roadside. Looking at the pedestrians who were running back and forth with different skin and hair colors from her, listening to the occasional language of various countries, Zuo Yue’s gaze was clear as she looked into the distance.
“You are indeed still young, and I have some doubts that need to be solved. If you are willing to wait, perhaps I will not restrain myself after you turn twenty, but you are only eighteen. Zuo Yue, you have just reached the beginning of your life.”
Xu Chengfeng’s words echoed in her ears. Zuo Yue’s gaze paused for a moment before she slowly chuckled.
He was really too rational.
In the end, it was because he was too obsessed with her that he became a demon in his life, causing him to sink into it, but he had to find a way to extricate himself. He was not willing to sink into these sinful feelings, and he was even more unwilling to watch her sink into it.
Was there any reason to continue? If this continued, her uncle would lie to protect her again and again. She, who wanted to bear everything, would be protected by him and watch him bear all the sins for her.
Her mind was in a mess. Xu Chengfeng’s eyes, Xu Chengfeng’s calmness, Xu Chengfeng’s gentleness, and Xu Chengfeng’s warmth were all invading her nerves.
Zuo Yue turned around and was about to sit on a bench by the roadside. She wanted to be alone. After all, she still had to face him after he sent her mother back from the airport.
Some things had to be resolved. Presumably, he had already planned to have a good talk with her and wait for her to calm down before talking to her.
A black car suddenly stopped in front of her. Zuo Yue’s eyes paused and she slowly looked up.
*****
The dark gray Porsche sped along the road. At this time, Xu Yuan had already passed the security check and was about to board the plane. Xu Chengfeng looked at the time and thought of the words Zuo Yue had said to him during the day. That girl hated and avoided him when she realized that he was still deliberately distancing himself and that he was hovering between love and not love.
Also, when he went to the restaurant to pick up Xu Yuan, Zuo Yue stood outside the restaurant and calmly said that she could take a taxi back to the villa alone. At that time, her expression was very calm, so quiet that it was as if she was suddenly millions of miles away from him.
The car sped along the airport highway towards the city. Xu Chengfeng felt a strange sense of unease in his heart. His usual calm and forbearance suddenly messed up all his emotions at this moment.
He could already control Zuo Yue very well.
But now, there was a certain voice echoing in his heart, urging him to call her immediately to confirm if the sad little girl had returned to the villa safely or if she was sitting in a daze in the snow outside.
Although she was young, her personality was too stubborn. When she was angry or sad, she would always hide all her softness like a turtle, not allowing anyone to touch her.
The car continued to speed forward. After Xu Chengfeng set the speed, he held the steering wheel with one hand and dialed Zuo Yue’s number on the automatic communication device in the car with the other hand.
However, it was switched off.
When he handed her phone to Xu Yuan in the afternoon, her phone was still fully charged. It was impossible for it to be out of battery now. Why would it be turned off?
Zuo Yue knew that he would be able to go home soon. There were some things that needed to be discussed, so she would definitely not turn off her phone to escape because she knew that there was no way to escape.
He called her again, but her phone was still switched off.
Xu Chengfeng’s eyes darkened. He put on his earphones and dialed Zuo Yue’s number again and again. His heart sank when Zuo Yue’s phone was turned off again and again.
The speed of the car was getting faster and faster, reaching almost 200 km/h in the cold and snowy world.
Half an hour later, he finally returned to the villa. However, the lights in the villa were not on. In the courtyard in front of the villa, there were no footprints left by Zuo Yue when she returned.
It was already 10:30 at night. Where would she go at this time?
Xu Chengfeng didn’t give up and picked up his phone. Suddenly, the screen lit up. It showed the number of Aite, who had rushed back from Russia. A feeling of uneasiness instantly hit his heart.
The moment he picked up the phone, Ainte’s voice sounded.” Boss Boss, Russia has discovered that you are in the United States. They have discovered that you are gradually clearing your name. They don’t intend to let you successfully remove your identity from the Russian mafia. They have already begun to make targeted actions. Moreover, a large number of people have quietly rushed to the United States. They are using the method of kidnapping to force you to hand over your power to them. I just got the news.”
Xu Chengfeng’s eyes were cold. As he answered the phone, he had already walked into the villa. He turned on the lights and looked inside. Indeed, there was no one there. His rare hope of luck was finally shattered by reality.
Zuo Yue returned.
Her phone was switched off.
The people from Russia had already rushed over.
Xu Chengfeng slowly put down his phone and stood silently in front of the door. He turned around and looked at the snow and the night sky. His eyes became even colder. He suddenly turned around and walked out quickly. He opened the car door. The dark gray Porsche made an ear-piercing sound as it turned quickly in the snow. Then, it drove quickly in the direction of the restaurant where Zuo Yue and Xu Yuan had dinner tonight.
The snow had stopped long ago, and the accumulated snow on the road had been cleared to the roadside. There was no sign of Zuo Yue along the way, nor was there any sign of a large-scale attack or struggle. The whole way was extremely quiet, and Xu Chengfeng’s heart became even more empty. His mind was filled with the silence in Zuo Yue’s eyes when she said that she wanted to go back to the villa alone to revise.
Even after searching the road twice, Zuo Yue was nowhere to be seen. He picked up his phone and dialed her number again, but her phone was still switched off.
Xu Chengfeng threw down his phone and raised his hand to touch the space between his eyebrows. However, he could not rub away the deeper wrinkles between his eyebrows.
Suddenly, a mobile phone rang in the car. The sudden clamor made Xu Chengfeng freeze. He turned to look at the mobile phone that was thrown on the passenger seat. It was Zuo Yue’s number.
Xu Chengfeng’s eyes darkened. He had already guessed a little. He picked up the phone and placed it by his ear. Without waiting for the other party to speak, he said in a deep voice,”Tell me your purpose. Don’t hurt her.”
“Ah, Ken, you’re still so alert. You didn’t even hear my voice and already guessed that your woman is in my hands…”
