Chapter 317 - Missing again(Part-1) (2/2)

Markus was not going to buy her bullshit. He put his finger on the trigger and was ready to fire it at her.

”I will kill Si Li as well!” She burst out.

But it was too late.

He pulled the trigger and fired it at her.

Liu Ruolan closed her eyes in fear, holding her last breath. She even forgot the pain of her body.

Everyone thought she was dead.

'Pang!'

She opened her eyes to see Markus' twitching face. ”Lucky you.”

Sun Choi did not display any kind of p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e and disappointment. It would be good if she would die as there would be no one to come and take credit with him but she was still useful to him, especially to kill Si Li which they had decided to propose in front of Markus so that he would let them live.

And he did.

Markus walked back toward the rock and turned around to look at Liu Ruolan and Sun Choi.

”You two stay here in Country X and fulfill the task before coming to me. But remember, there will be no other chance for you except death.” Markus said.

After that, he walked away and his men followed as they silently left Country X before Si Li could catch them.

The next morning, the clouds started moving to let the bright sunlight fall on Diamond Hills. The cold breeze entered the room let the curtains dance in its rhythm.

Sunlight rays fell on Lu Lan's face, making her growl in annoyance as she rolled over the other side of the bed. Thinking that Si Li would be there, she would hide in his arms from this early morning's harsh bright light.

But she continued to roll to the end of the bed because there was no one beside her and she was about to fall down. Her heart jumped in a moment in realization. Luckily, she held the corner of the bed before she hurt herself and her child.

Sighingly, she sat on the bed where she could still hear how ferociously her heart beats.

After a while, she closed her eyes and calmed herself down. Then she noticed Si Li was not in the room. Thinking that he would downstairs. She changed her clothes and freshened up before going down.

Madam Si was sitting alone, reading a newspaper and sipping the tea. She heard the sound of footsteps to see Lu Lan was here. ”Xiao Lu, you wake up early. Tell me what do you want to eat? I cook it for you.” Madam Si asked as she folded the paper and put it aside.

”Let Li cook today's breakfast.” Lu Lan came to sit beside Madam Si and said. She had been craving to eat something tasty cooked from Si Li's hands.

Lu Lan did not want to exaggerate but she liked Si Li's home-cooked dishes most.

”Alright then go wake him up otherwise you will starving.” Madam Si said, did not mind that her daughter-in-law did not want to eat food cooked from her hands.

”But he is not in the room.” Lu Lan said frowningly.

”Not in the room, where did he go then?”

”I don't know. Let me call him.” Lu Lan suggested and took her phone to call him but his phone was switched off.

'Where did he go now?' Lu Lan questioned herself.

Did he go missing like the day before yesterday?

Lu Lan could not help but feel sad and suspicious.

What exactly was he up to?
