Chapter 836: Where Did You Put Leng Xuan?

At the community entrance.

Elder Ye saw Ye Junci exit and he immediately got out of his car to open the car door for her.

Ye Junci got in. “To the Lu residence,” she ordered.

“Alright,” the chauffeur acknowledged her order and started the engine.

Elder Ye asked, “Madam, should we tell Young Master that Ms. Gu is here?”

Ye Junci shook her head. “Given their tempers, outsiders like us should not interfere.”

She glanced into the community.

...

After Ye Junci had left, the last sentence that she had said kept replaying in Gu Mang’s mind.

“He never makes contingency plans but he has already arranged ways for you to advance and retreat.”

Gu Mang looked down. It felt like something was filling her throat and her vision was getting blurry. But in a few seconds, her eyes were clear again. Her dark, cold eyes were calm and silent.

Gu Mang walked over to her bag and took out a mechanical watch. She buckled it around her wrist and pressed the button on the side. Then, she shut her laptop and stuffed it into her bag. She zipped it up and slung it over her shoulder. With that, she walked out.

When she opened the room’s door, a red dot on the mechanical watch blinked.

She pressed on the earpiece in her ear.

“Sis! I finally managed to contact you!” Gu Si’s agitated voice was heard from the other end.

“Mm,” Gu Mang responded.

When Gu Si heard her response, he asked anxiously, “Sis, where are you?”

“I’m fine.” Gu Mang answered in a simple and concise manner as she pressed the elevator buttons. “Tell Lu Chengzhou to wait for me at the Capital University apartment.”

Without waiting for a response, she pressed on her earpiece again after she spoke and ended the call. She stepped into the elevator.

...

On the other side.

Lu Chengzhou had just returned from errands outside. The entire Lu residence looked as if it were ready for a funeral. Everyone was wearing black mourning clothes.

Granny Lu’s body was transported from the hospital back to the Lu residence. All the main and peripheral members of the Lu family were present.

At this moment, they were all waiting at the entrance.

Second Old Master Lu had been searching for Lu Chengzhou all day.

He finally saw Lu Chengzhou and he rushed over furiously. “Lu Chengzhou! Where is Leng Xuan?! The people from the Elders’ Association in Jijing Island have reached out to me on the phone!”

The Elders’ Association had called Lu Zhan first. Lu Zhan said that he could not do anything about Lu Chengzhou and that he had washed his hands of the matter.

Second Old Master Lu could only wait for him to return at the Lu residence.

Lu Chengzhou had one hand in his pocket as he walked in.

“Lu Chengzhou!”

When Second Old Master Lu saw that he was behaving in such a nonchalant way, his face flushed with anger and he blocked his way. “I’m asking you a question!”

Lu Chengzhou paused and looked slightly to the side. His cold eyes were bloodshot and the aura he gave off was even colder than usual. The look in his eyes was so intimidating that Second Old Master Lu tensed up.

Then, he heard him ask in a calm tone, “Does Second Uncle wish to know?”

Second Old Master Lu snapped back to reality and yelled sharply, “Who is Leng Xuan? When you treat her like that, you’re dragging the entire Lu family down along with you and offending Jijing Island!”

Lu Chengzhou had no expression on his face.

“Let Leng Xuan off right away!” Second Old Master Lu demanded coldly.

Lu Chengzhou looked very calm. “Since you wish to see Leng Xuan so badly, I’ll send you to meet her.”

Second Old Master Lu frowned. He could sense that things were not so simple.

“Send him to the supermax prison and only release him on the day of the funeral.” Lu Chengzhou turned to Lu Yi, his expression grim.

“Got it,” Lu Yī responded and lifted his chin to signal to the subordinates.

Before Second Old Master Lu could react he was pinned by his shoulders and handcuffed.

He was furious. “Lu Chengzhou, y-you...”

He had not even finished his sentence when he was dragged to the front of the jeep and pushed into the vehicle in a harsh manner. Everyone watched in fear and all of them kept silent. No one dared to utter a single word.
