Luo Xi nodded and called Leng Minxing to tell him.
Leng Minxing hadn’t expected Leng Me’er, who was usually so willful, to suddenly have such an idea, but he was pleased and agreed.
When the second madam heard her daughter had agreed to the marriage alliance, she was shocked, wondering what had happened. After asking, she learned that her daughter’s fiancé was actually her classmate before!
Well, a win-win situation.
Leng Me’er waited anxiously for news, but before receiving any, school had already started.
She felt depressed. On the way back to school, she couldn’t help but ask Luo Xi, “Do you think he’s unwilling to get engaged to me because I rejected him before?”
Luo Xi wasn’t sure either. After all, Mu Han was very proud. If someone rejected him once, he probably wouldn’t be willing to agree to anything even if they begged him.
They soon arrived at the school.
Luo Xi planned to find Hua Feifei and the others, so she walked ahead. Leng Me’er, feeling downcast, had barely walked a short distance when a girl suddenly appeared and said, “Leng Me’er, someone is looking for you…”
…
As Luo Xi entered a small grove on the school grounds, she saw a girl in a school uniform with her back to her.
Furrowing her brow, she sensed something was off. “Who are you? Where’s Leng Me’er?”
She had just finished saying goodbye to Hua Feifei and was about to go to class when Leng Me’er suddenly messaged her to come to the grove quickly.
Luo Xi thought something had happened and hurried over, only to find no one around.
The girl in the uniform turned around, scrutinizing her before breaking into a smile. “So, you are Luo Xi?”
“What do you want? Where’s Leng Me’er?” Luo Xi felt a sense of danger from the girl’s smile and cautiously took a step back. Her hand holding the phone paused slightly. Just as she was about to make a move, a sudden pain shot through her hand, causing her phone to drop to the ground.
Suddenly, two men in black appeared from behind her and restrained her.
Luo Xi’s heart tightened slightly. What was going on? She didn’t know this woman at all. Why did they come to capture her, especially using Leng Me’er’s phone? Where was Leng Me’er?
“Don’t be nervous. Let me introduce myself. I’m Mu Qing. The reason I’m looking for you, Miss Luo, is that I need your help. I found out about the information regarding my brother living in this city, and I noticed that you have the most interaction with him. So I’d like to ask you to persuade him not to foolishly compete with me for the family fortune. If Miss Luo is willing to help me, I won’t make things difficult for you. After all, I don’t want to offend the Leng family,” she said with a soft smile. “But now, I’ll have to trouble you to come with me…”
“Master, the young lady and miss have disappeared from school!” No one would think much of Luo Xi’s absence from class, but Leng Me’er wasn’t the type to skip classes. They both came to school together, but now they didn’t show up for class. When he didn’t find his sister, Leng Muyu immediately called her, but her phone was off. He didn’t think much of it at first, but when he called Luo Xi and her phone was also off, he realized something was wrong and quickly contacted his family.
The second madam was alarmed to hear that her daughter was missing. Soon, the others were alerted as well. After checking the surveillance footage, they discovered that after Leng Me’er entered the school, she went into the small grove behind the school with a female classmate. Not long after, they saw Luo Xi enter as well, but after that neither of them came out.
There were no cameras in the grove, so they couldn’t determine what happened inside, but the uncertainty was the most terrifying thing.
Leng Minxing’s expression changed slightly as he abruptly stood up. “Investigate!”
On the other side, Luo Xi and Leng Me’er were tied up together and locked in the same room.
Leng Me’er was already crying in fear. It was her first encounter with a kidnapping, and her face was deathly pale.
When Luo Xi realized who had kidnapped them, she started to piece together Mu Qing’s intentions.
But why kidnap her?
Was it just because she once knew Mu Han?
Luo Xi felt quite innocent. Leng Me’er was even more so. Although the marriage was confidential, there was still a risk of it being leaked. Before the marriage was even set, she was already kidnapped. What bad luck!
But Luo Xi was certain that the other party wouldn’t kill them for the time being unless they were no longer of any use.
Mu Qing may have said she didn’t want to offend the Leng family, but having taken action this time, she had already crossed that line. There was no turning back. Whether successful or not, her enmity with the Leng family was now established.
She never expected that this woman, who seemed only a few years older than her, would go to such lengths for money.
Hearing Leng Me’er’s soft sobbing from behind her, Luo Xi comforted her, “Don’t be afraid, we are not in danger for now.”
“Sister-in-law?” Leng Me’er was shocked. She thought the person behind her was also a victim, not realizing it was Luo Xi.
When that woman said someone was looking for her, she hadn’t thought much of it and went there, only to be knocked unconscious as soon as she arrived.
When she woke up again, she was already locked in this room and never expected Luo Xi to be here too.
“Mm?”
Luo Xi replied.
“You, how did you end up here? Were you kidnapped too?” Leng Me’er was so shocked that she forgot to cry.
“Yeah,” Luo Xi nodded.
Seeing her seemingly calm appearance, Leng Me’er felt a little reassured. “Do you know who kidnapped us?”
“Mu Qing.”
“Mu Qing?” Leng Me’er paused, then reacted with wide eyes. She asked, “Is that the woman trying to steal the family fortune from Mu Han?”
“That’s right.”
“Then why did she kidnap us?” Leng Me’er asked, frustrated and confused.
“Because you’re supposed to marry her brother.”
“Then why did she kidnap you?” Leng Me’er was even more baffled.
“I don’t know either.” A hint of helplessness crossed Luo Xi’s eyes.
Just then, the tightly closed door was suddenly pulled open, and a man in black sunglasses walked in. He held a phone in his hand as if reporting something. “Yes, Miss, they are awake.”
“Okay, we’ll be careful.” After finishing the call, he coldly glanced at the two of them, dropped the phone, and walked out like a robot.
However, Luo Xi noticed a familiar mark on his hand as he lowered it.
The flame mark!
Her pupils constricted slightly. How could this be!
In her previous life, these people had followed Luo Yuyi to capture her, but now they were aligned with Mu Qing?
Or were they originally Mu Qing’s people?
But in her previous life, she didn’t know Mu Qing at all.
She had encountered them once during vacation, and Leng Minxing told her that they belonged to an organization called the Dark Society. He warned her to be cautious.
Now, she had come across them again.
