Chapter 54 (1/2)

Nanrong Wanqing sensed the car accelerating and could not help asking, “What are you planning to do?”

“Rescue someone.”

“Who?”

“A friend.”

“Then let me out in front, I’ll ask Zhong Wei to fetch me.”

“I can’t afford to waste any time now.”

The entire Circle Line was over fifty kilometres long, with two intersections in the middle. He had to catch up with the kidnapper’s Mercedes-Benz as fast as possible and could not afford to let the opponent out of his side. Hence, to him, every second was extremely precious.

As he was speaking, the antique car was forced to a speed of 120 kilometres an hour under Ling Chen’s urging. Luckily, he had excellent driving skills and was able to display the speed of the antique car to its fullest potential.

At that moment, a ringtone buzzed from Nanrong Wanqing’s body.

She took out the phone and connected the call, “Xiao Lin, we’re still on the road.”

“We’ve got home ages ago, how can you still be on the road.”

“Ling….. Ling Chen has some sudden emergency and we’ll be delayed.”

Su Lin flew into a rage on the other end of the call, “No matter how urgent his matter is, he should at least send you home first. There’s still a guest waiting for you! That person especially came down to meet you, so you must not keep him waiting.”

“I understand, but…”

“No buts! Pass the phone over to Ling Chen, let me talk to him.”

Nanrong Wanqing placed down the phone and passed it to Ling Chen. “Xiao Lin wants to speak to you.”

Ling Chen kept his gaze fixed on the road in front of him and casually accepted the phone, calling out a greeting.

“Ling Chen, hurry up and bring Wanqing home! Stop causing trouble for us, and…”

“Is there anything else? I already said we’ll be coming back late, stop talking so much crap.” With that, he impatiently hung up and tossed the phone back to Nanrong Wanqing.

On any other day, when he had nothing better to do, he did not mind verbally sparring with the lass, but now that someone’s life was at stake, he could not afford to dally with her.

Bastard!

Black lines were written all over Su Lin’s face back at the Nanrong villa. That bastard actually dared to hang up on me! Watch how I take care of you when you come back!

“Xiao Lin, what did Wanqing say? When would she be coming back?”

On the sofa in the spacious living room sat a man, who looks to be about twenty-four years old. He was clad in a straight white striped suit with glossy hair and a fair complexion. His obsidian-like eyes gleamed with wisdom, a bright face hung on his handsome face. He exuded an elegant temperament, which made one feel like they were standing in a midsummer rain, refreshing and clean.

Even the ancient Pan An 1 would not be as beautiful and extraordinary as the man in front of her.

Seeing the man flash a smile at her, Su Lin’s face could not help reddening. It was not like she had never seen a hunk before, but the man in front of her was extraordinary in both appearance and temperament. He was the ideal in every woman’s heart and any girl who saw this man would be attracted to him.

However, Su Lin did not forget the identity of this man and immediately retracted her positive liking towards him.

“Zhu Hong, I’m sorry, Wanqing has something urgent and would be back later than expected… How about this, I’ll arrange a room, and you can stay here tonight.”

“No need to go through the trouble, I have already booked a hotel. Anyway, it is still early. I have waited for so many years for this meeting today, and I don’t mind waiting a little longer.”

Thinking of the story behind this man and her cousin, Su Lin could not help feeling envious. If only she could meet such a person in her lifetime.
