Cheng Lu looked at the words on the text message and took a deep breath.
You can't notify Gu Ci by phone, and you can't call the police at this juncture. Do you have to obey the other party's arrangements like this?
No, no! This is not her style.
Since the other party dared to kidnap Li Xiumeng, he must not be a kind person.
How could she rescue Li Xiumeng by herself?
The other party's intention is so obvious, isn't it just to get her?
She lay on the bed and closed her eyes to rest.
In fact, I couldn't sleep at all with all kinds of thoughts running through my mind.
When she woke up the next day, she asked Uncle Huber to clean up the room, then packed her luggage and went out.
After getting on the plane, she mobilized the power in her body to cover every vital part of her body.
Especially the lower abdomen.
No matter what happens, she must protect herself.
The address given by the other party turned out to be an international hotel. It had just opened last year and had a good reputation in the circle.
Cheng Lu has never been to City L and has heard of the name of this hotel.
She said her name when she entered the door, and the front desk gave her a room card.
She raised her eyebrows slightly, and she came prepared. She had never booked a room in this hotel before.
She entered the room successfully.
The room was clean and just like usual.
As soon as I sat down to rest, the text message came again on my phone.
——Did you get rid of the secret guard Gu Ci assigned you?
Cheng Lu sneered and replied: You said he was a secret guard, how could I get rid of him? If you are so afraid of my husband, why do you still do such sneaky things?
——Hehe, you can’t get rid of me, I can take action, it’s just a little more troublesome.
Cheng Lu: I'm afraid it won't be a little troublesome, right? I have confidence in the person my husband has arranged.
——Do you know that it’s really annoying that you are so confident?
Her mind moved: Have you seen me?
This time the other party did not reply again.
Tuk-tuk-tuk——
Someone knocked on the door.
After the door opened, there was no one outside.
There is a card taped to the door with a flat map on it.
She looked at a red dot on it, thoughtfully.
Let her go to this place!
Cheng Lu packed up and went out in simple sportswear.
This place is not hard to find, it's in the basement of this hotel.
After walking through a long corridor, she finally found the hidden door.
After standing at the door for a long time, she raised her eyes and looked at the surveillance camera in the corner: "I don't believe you can't see it. What's the point of keeping the door closed even though I'm here? Don't you just want me to come?"
With a creak, the door opened.
It's dark inside.
Cheng Lu put his hands in his pockets and pushed the door open.
There was a crash, and a small medicine bottle appeared in her hand. The medicine bottle flashed with fire, illuminating the entire basement.
"Well--"
Not far away, Li Xiumeng's eyes were pierced by the light, she narrowed her eyes and made a whimpering sound.
"sister!"
She was just about to rush over when suddenly a voice came from the speaker above her head.
"Wait a minute, Mrs. Gu, do you just want to take her away like this? Are you thinking too simply? Look at her carefully, haha."
Cheng Lu looked at it carefully, and suddenly a chill ran down his back.
Li Xiumeng actually had a bomb wrapped around her waist!
"As long as you take her away from the chair, the bomb will detonate immediately, and both of you will be buried here. It won't be fun." There was a bad smile in this voice.
The other party used a voice changer, and his voice seemed to be covered with a layer of cloth, making it impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman.
She calmed down: "You asked me to come, I came, and now you show me this, what do you mean? Do you just want to trick me into coming here and lock me up? Then such a trick is a bit too low-level."
A burst of laughter came, which made her scalp tingle.
The man added: "I just want the formula of the medicine that you saved those radiation patients before. Give me this and I will let you go."
"Sure, it's a joke." She agreed, "But your methods are not clever and your actions are not upright enough. I don't really trust you."
"Hmph, you have everyone in your hands now. Without my password, the explosives on Li Xiumeng's body can't be removed. What leverage do you think you have to negotiate with me?"
"Because reviving those radiation patients requires not only medicine, but also other treatments. Are you sure you don't want to know?"
Cheng Lu's voice was full of temptation.
She was actually worried and scared inside, but she had to force herself to calm down.
She clenched her palms, feeling clammy inside.
"Oh, are there other treatment methods? Can you tell me about them?"
"Before I do this, I want to see if my sister is injured. I also brought her some water and food. As long as she doesn't leave the chair, she should be fine if she eats something."
"Hehehe, I can't tell how nice you are to this sister who is not related by blood. Of course, she has barely eaten anything these days anyway."
Cheng Lu took out a small bottle of mineral water and a pack of biscuits from his pocket.
He walked to Li Xiumeng and took off the ball of cloth in her mouth.
As soon as Li Xiumeng could speak, she hurriedly persuaded her to leave: "What are you doing here? Are you here alone to die? Leave quickly!"
"Sister, your voice is hoarse. Hurry up and eat something."
Cheng Lu gave her water and biscuits.
Li Xiumeng was really hungry. After drinking a few mouthfuls of water, she ate biscuits.
The laughter appeared again.
"Hehehe, it's so funny. If other people see the dignified eldest lady of the Li family looking like this, I don't know how many people will laugh at her secretly."
Li Xiumeng ignored the voice and continued to drink water and eat.
Cheng Lu said coolly: "What is there to laugh at? My sister has been kidnapped and she is not on vacation. Who can maintain her image in such a situation?"
The voice was choked again: "Humph!"
"What do you want with treatment regimens and drug formulations for radiation patients?"
"It has nothing to do with you, I just want this method that can save the public to be made public, instead of being in your hands alone."
"Save the public?" She smiled, her voice was clear and delicate, and very pleasant. "If I remember correctly, radiation patients are rare cases. You mean the public? You also mean public? This is not to directly disclose your identity.
After being exposed, isn’t it ridiculous that you are still here playing tricks with me?”
The voice paused: "It's almost done, don't eat any more."
"The last cookie."
"I told you, don't eat it! I'll count to three and you go back to where you were before, otherwise I'll press the switch now and send you two to the west together."
The man became angry.
Cheng Lu calmly stuffed the last piece of biscuit into his mouth and slowly returned to his original position.
"How can I give you the treatment?" she asked proactively.
"There is paper and pen in the corner, just write it down."
"good."
She walked to the corner, squatted down to find paper and pen, and glanced behind her from the corner of her eye. She suddenly saw several shaking lights and shadows...
