Chapter 440 - Keep her safe (2/2)

Being the only person left, Qi Li did not know what to do. His personality was not like Liu Shan and Lin Hui, so how can he gesture a salute. Thinking hard, he held his helmet against his hip and politely bends forward.

”I will guard her with my life.”

Watching the man wearing glasses put his helmet on, Lu Tian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Maybe his wife's team and his team are getting too comfortable that they are starting to act like each other.

The engine to their vehicles starts as Lin Hui and Qi Li took the lead with Liu Shan's car following behind.

As the three vehicles drove away from the building, Lu Tian's eyes did not leave Liu Shan's car. He does not walk back inside but waited. He wanted to make sure that they were able to turn from the main street without any problems.

*Ring Ring

The three vehicles slow to a stop at a red light not too far as Lu Tian's phone suddenly rings. He takes it out and glance down to see who was calling him.

Seeing who it was, he does not take his eyes off of Liu Shan's car but answers the call.

”Speak.”

[”Boss…”]

Holding the phone near his ear, Lu Tian listens to his subordinate. However, his brows furrow together as one word was only made.

”Jiangyu?”

[”…”]

From the other line, there was not another sound of Jiangyu's voice but only the sound of static coming in.

Quickly knowing something must have happened on the other side, Lu Tian does not end the call but continues to listen. He knows his subordinate and to not hear the man respond, something is definitely wrong.

[”Boss… p…”]

Suddenly, Jiangyu's voice sounds again from the other line, but it was still not clear as the static noise overlaps with his voice.

Lu Tian tries to make out Jiangyu's words, but it was difficult to hear anything.

As he stares at the back of Liu Shan's car and tries to listen for anymore words from Jiangyu, the uneasy feeling inside him grew more intense. However, this time, it came with a suffocating feeling.

”Jiangyu, hold your position. Do you hear me? Hold your position.”

At the same time, he didn't know why, but he was already striding after the car his wife was in. That uneasy feeling and Jiangyu's call was making him more anxious than ever.

However, just as he took five big strides, the red light in front of the three vehicles turns green. The engines to Lin Hui and Qi Li's motorcycles sounds as they make a turn with Liu Shan's car soon following after.

Seeing this, Lu Tian slows down in his steps as he sighs in relief. Maybe he is overthinking the situation too much.

[”Boss… it… t… p…”]

As he stops in his steps, Jiangyu's voice along with static noise spoke from the other line again.

His subordinate's words were not clear, but he knew what Jiangyu had been trying to tell him. It wasn't that same uneasy feeling but fear that now washed inside him.

Just as he lift his leg to take a step forward, Jiangyu's voice sounds a warning through the phone follow with the loud screeching sound of tires.

[”It's… a trap...”]

*CRAASSHHH—-!!!!

Like time itself had stopped for Lu Tian, everything became a big massive blur. His brain turned into a blank page engulfed by black ink as his whole world turned dark.
