Chapter 92 - 92 Contact Qinglang

92 Contact Qinglang

At night, Lu Ning headed to the café to work as usual. Since everyone was studying at the café today, Lu Ning stayed with them for a while.

However, she was frequently checking the time.

“Lu Ning, do you have something else going on?”

Lu Ning nodded. “My mother’s in the hospital. It’s about time for me to go visit her.”

They immediately understood and quickly let her leave.

Lin Ci wanted to go with her, but she refused.

“I’ll bring you along next time.”

Then, she left in a rush.

Lin Ci looked at her shrinking back as she rode away, baffled.

After Lu Ning had left, the girls could not help but start gossiping while they did their homework.

“Lin Ci, you seem pretty close to Lu Ning. Has she ever cried in front of you? We all feel bad for her. Remember when she was injured a few days back, we later found out that it was because of the two girls from Class 3. Sigh, do you know why they did that?”

Lin Ci put away her things. “No idea.”

Those girls continued, “What other reason could there be? It’s to curry favor with Lù Yue’an, of course! Don’t you know, everybody wants to be on good terms with the Lù family. Lu Ning didn’t give them the time of day and ignored them, but now that there’s the good-tempered Lù Yue’an, it’s a given that they’ll ingratiate themselves with her…”

As they spoke, Lin Ci stopped preparing to leave and simply sat there, listening.

When Lu Ning arrived at the hospital, she headed straight for the elevator; and as she entered the ward, she could not help herself from apologizing to Shen Yunci.

Shen Yunci patted her on the head and told her she did not mind. After the family had dinner together, Shen Yunci drove them off and had them go home.

She could move her arm a little now. While it still hurt to move it, it was slowly getting better.

Lu Ning was in a hurry. She was anxious, although she did not let it show on her face.

Before she left, Shen Yunci had told her, “Ning’ning, you should turn in early. You don’t have to coax your brother to sleep all the time, he can do it himself. I can even see the bags under your eyes.”

Lu Ning subconsciously raised a hand to her eyes. She replied with a smile, “Okay.”

The three of them went home together. When they reached home, Lu Jingzhi also chased Lu Ning to bed, saying that he could fall asleep by himself.

Lu Ning watched him wash up before she returned to her room. After tidying up, she locked the door; before she left, she listened to the outside to make sure that there were no sounds before opening the window. Then, she climbed out and got down to the ground effortlessly.

Song Wenqi’s car was already waiting there.

Lu Ning got in, and the car drove away immediately.

The same location, the same helicopter. The group of them boarded the craft and promptly flew off.

This time, however, it was not only Ninth Brother who was shadowing her; Gu Chen and Gu Zi had also followed her stealthily.

The three of them looked towards the helicopter that had since disappeared without a trace. Gu Zi silently took out a palm-sized device, a red dot flashing on it.

He had installed GPS devices in Lu Ning’s bag and phone. She did not seem to have brought her bag, but she did bring her phone.

However, they failed to notice that someone else was also staring at them, not far away.

…

A few hours later, the red dot on Gu Zi’s device stopped flashing.

“What’s going on?!”

Gu Zi checked it over carefully. “It’s been blocked. The last location is in F Prefecture, between the Red Ridge District and the Blue Sands District.”

Their faces contorted into a grimace. “These two places aren’t known for being peaceful.”

Gu Chen’s expression darkened as he furrowed his brows, looking at Ninth Brother.

Ninth Brother seemed to understand. “You’re not thinking of…”

Before he could finish, Gu Chen said, “Contact Qinglang.”
