Chapter 2351: Suspicious Character Dressed in Black

The driver quickly unlocked the door, which the missy then opened and jumped into without hesitation. She immediately locked the car door thereafter.

She had not been shocked into inaction as she was still alert enough to lock herself inside the vehicle. Once inside, she felt a tremendous sense of safety. Leaning on the car window, she took a peek at the surroundings again. That suspicious person was nowhere in sight!

Still, this gave her no relief as she exclaimed, “Hurry up and drive!”

“Miss Lu, what’s wrong?”

“I-I’m… being followed! Somebody is out to get me!”

The chauffeur was somewhat surprised and glanced where the missy was looking at. He did not see any suspicious character lurking around.

“Start the car—quick!”

Lu Jingtian, who was not consoled, started gesticulating wildly as she gave this order again.

The driver could not help wondering if the spoiled missy was in one of her strange moods again! Nevertheless, he dared not tarry with her command and slowly drove away from the carpark after starting the engine.

A person dressed in all-black emerged from the shadows of a tree not too far away. After looking impa.s.sively at the car disappearing from sight, the person turned and walked away without any expression.

The lady was sharp enough to catch sight of her pursuer’s departing back from the rearview mirror, but when she turned around to check again, the person was no longer in view!

Am I really… imagining things, or am being oversensitive?!

“It must be a false alarm! I didn’t notice any suspicious character while on my way here earlier.”

The missy did not reply but drew in a sharp, cold breath. She was pretty sure that she could feel a real sense of malice emanating from that person back there!

“Miss Lu, should I send you home now?”

“Yes, I want to return home now!”

…

The missy was still in jittery when she reached home. Walking into her unlit room, she jumped with fright as darkness surrounded her. She hurriedly switched on the lights. It was only when the room was brightly lit and cheery that her heart settled, somewhat.

She pondered on that creepy presence in her head; it felt strangely familiar. The person was someone she knew, it seemed, but she was unable to recall where she had met them before despite racking her brain.

Oh, well, forget it!

I’d better stop my nonsense!

I’d better take good care of myself over the next few days, or I won’t be able to look my best on the charity night!

The missy went to bed early that night.

The highly antic.i.p.ated night finally arrived after five days.

…

The Bazaar Charity Night started punctually at eight o’clock in the evening.

The stars and famous personalities could be seen treading the red carpet.

Besides countless famous entrepreneurs who were also well-known for their philanthropy, many superstars were invited to this prestigious charity gala.

However, many of these so-called philanthropists had their hidden agendas for attending the night gala.

How many truly wanted to give to charity on an event such as this? These entrepreneurs had other intentions, obviously!

These people were here to hunt for babes and food; hardly anyone was doing this for the sake of charity!

During the gala, there would be auctions on some famous calligraphy or private collections. The money earned from the auctions was supposed to be used for the public’s good. Alas, n.o.body could pinpoint where the money went afterward exactly.

At the banquet’s climax, there would even be a donation drive. The tens of millions donated at this event were just fractions of what these industrialists had in their pockets.

As entrepreneurs with a wealth of money, they had to do some grand-sounding acts of kindness in public to win people’s favor, of course! After all, one must not appear too rich to be kind, right?

Besides, this was also a good opportunity to ramp up publicity for their brands. By donating, they were effectively killing two birds with one stone!
