Chapter 400: Any News?

Lu Qi wanted to cough again, but he endured it and fanned himself with his hand. There was no light in the room and the only light from outside penetrated came from under the curtains. He squinted to find Lu Chengzhou’s figure in the room.

Lu Chengzhou was sitting on the carpet and leaning on the side of the coffee table. His posture was almost the same as Gu Mang’s. It was relaxed and obnoxious in manner. The man put one arm on the coffee table, as if holding something in his hand. Lu Qi couldn’t see clearly.

He had a cigarette in his other hand and Lu Qi could see that it was lit, the source of the smoke. The ashtray that Lu Chengzhou had placed on the ground was filled with cigarette b.u.t.ts.

Lu Qi’s eyes shook. Did he smoke all night?

“Any news from Red Flame?” Lu Chengzhou asked. His voice was hoa.r.s.e like a saw and he slowly turned to Lu Qi.

His black eyes were bloodshot, cold, and dark.

Lu Qi returned to his senses and replied, “No, Red Flame’s people have not yet returned. Wait a while more and have breakfast first.”

“Get out.” Lu Chengzhou looked away, put out the lit cigarette in the ashtray and lit another one.

Lu Qi frowned, but didn’t dare to say more. He bowed his head and walked out.

On the first floor, when Peng Yan saw Lu Qi come down, he immediately leaned forward and said, “Brother Qi, does Young Master Lu not want to eat?”

Lu Qi hummed and he looked rather solemn. He really had to re-examine Ms. Gu’s position in his boss’s heart.

After thinking about it, he said, “I will contact Red Flame again. It’s been one whole day and they haven’t found her yet. What a bunch of tras.h.!.+”

After he spoke, the door of the villa suddenly opened. Lu Qi and Peng Yan turned and saw several figures enter.

It was He Yidu and Qin Fang, followed by Lu Yi and Lu San.

Lu Qi and Peng Yan hurriedly greeted them and bowed their heads respectfully. “Young Master Qin, Young Master He.”

Qin Fang swept his eyes across the first floor. The subordinates were all having breakfast. He looked at Lu Qi. “Where is Brother Cheng?

“Upstairs,” Lu Qi replied. “Young Master Lu is in a very bad state, he doesn’t even want to have breakfast.”

Qin Fang frowned. “I’ll go up and have a look.”

He Yidu was about to follow, but he remembered something, and stopped in front of Lu Qi. “Does Red Flame still have no news about Gu Mang’s whereabouts yet?”

Lu Qi shook his head. “We don’t have any clues at all.”

The footage was completely unusable and Lin Shuang could not be found.

He Yidu had always thought that this was a bit strange. “I heard that you got into a gun fight yesterday. Did you find out who did it?”

“There is some news on the offer-for-reward website, saying that someone is on a mission to take Young Master Lu’s life, but nothing else could be found.” Lu Qi’s voice was heavy with rage.

He Yidu’s eyes were slightly cold. “Have those a.s.sa.s.sins not appeared recently?”

Lu Qi answered, “The address of the base has been leaked, but not this one’s. The killers can’t find us for the time being.”

He Yidu nodded in satisfaction. “Find Gu Mang as soon as possible.”

Lu Qi answered, “Yes.”

He Yidu put his hand in his pocket and went straight to the second floor. Lu Yi and the others looked at each other and didn’t say anything.

…

Qin Fang opened the bedroom door. He started coughing. He stretched out his hand and waved it around. “Brother Cheng, how many cigarettes did you smoke?”

It was so stifling and yet he was sitting so calmly. Qin Fang went to the window and drew the curtain with both hands.

The room suddenly became blindingly bright and Lu Chengzhou squinted his eyes subconsciously, but otherwise didn’t move.

Qin Fang opened the window and the morning breeze blew in. The smell of smoke dissipated a bit, making the room more comfortable. He Yidu also arrived at the room at this time. He frowned when he smelled the heavy smoke, and stepped forward.
