Chapter 45 (1/2)

At the Sea City Deep Bay International Airport, a tall figure walked out of the green lane.

Li Hengzhi was wearing a black suit with a white shirt inside and it gave off a clean feel. The custom-made suit brought out his figure quite perfectly.

The bitter cold vision reflected through his amber-colored eyes gave a ‘stay away’ kind of look so even if one recognized him, one would not dare to go near or engage in small-talk with him.

This was a convenient protective shield for Li Hengzhi. He disliked polite and deliberate approaches by unfamiliar people.

Yan Hai was catching up to him with luggage in the trolley. “Mr. Li, I’ve just checked the weather forecast. It might rain afterwards. Is it better to go straight to the hotel?”

“Rain…” Li Hengzhi murmured. His eyes deepened. “Any thunder?”

She appeared in his mind upon any mention of thunder.

What happened that night appeared clearly in his mind.

Yan Hai nodded, “Yes, a thundershower. This kind of weather is always accompanied by thundershowers. Madam kept reminding us not to be late. Or do we go over first? The wedding is about to begin.”

“Is Qian Tao going?”

“Eh?” Yan Hai was dumbfounded. “Miss Qian will surely go, won’t she? That’s her sister’s wedding.”

“Let’s go.”

Where…was she?

Qian Tao awoke in the dark and when she opened her eyes, she found herself in a messy place. All around her were rusty waste products. The place looked like a waste plant.

She wanted to open her mouth but realized that her mouth was covered with duct tape.

“Help…?” She wanted to call for help but when she was just about to try to open her mouth, psst…the duct tape over her mouth gave way.
