4: No woman who was taken away by Mr. Lu can remain innocent!
In the dark stairwell, stood burly men dressed in black suits and dark sunglasses.
They were well-built and muscular, exuding an extremely strong murderous Qi, looking fierce and menacing.
Chen Mengyao's delicate body suddenly stiffened, her pretty face instantly turned ashen, and her heart pounded wildly.
She felt her breathing stop for a moment.
Suppressing the shock and panic in her heart, Chen Mengyao lowered her head, pretending she hadn't seen anything, and prepared to leave.
However, these black-suited men stood motionless, lined up in neat rows, blocking the stairway like a wall, making it impossible to pass.
Chen Mengyao bit her lip, trying to remain calm, then looked up and said softly:
“He… hello, please, could you let me pass…”
Her voice was very soft, with an uncontrollable tremor.
But the black-suited men remained still, not moving an inch.
Chen Mengyao’s heart sank.
Her worst fear had come true; these people were indeed looking for her, otherwise, they wouldn't be blocking her path so unreasonably.
But… she had only just arrived in Yanjing City, she didn't even know who her neighbors were, so how could so many people be looking for her specifically… Had Chen Zhicai also accumulated gambling debts in Yanjing City?
Or… were these people chasing her from the Chuan-Yu region?
Thinking of this, a wave of dread and fear rose in Chen Mengyao's heart.
She subconsciously gripped the utility knife hidden in her pants pocket, took a deep breath, and gathered her courage to ask:
“Excuse me… excuse me, are you looking for me for something?”
Chen Mengyao pressed her red lips together, moving backward step by step, her delicate hand holding the utility knife trembling slightly, gradually becoming covered in sweat.
The black-suited men exchanged glances, and one of the burly men in black signaled to another.
Immediately, two of them stepped out of the formation and suddenly moved closer to her.
Chen Mengyao's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly stepped back.
With her back pressed tightly against the stairwell wall, she pulled out the utility knife and held it up high across her chest, her voice trembling:
“You… you don't come any closer… otherwise, otherwise, I'll…”
Chen Mengyao's voice grew softer and softer, even tinged with a sob, but her beautiful eyes were fixed on the two black-suited men, like a strong, wounded kitten, unwilling to show weakness even in a desperate situation.
The burly black-suited man looked at Chen Mengyao like this, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes.
“Is it her?” the leading burly man asked, somewhat uncertainly.
“Yes, it's her.” The other burly man nodded after a careful look.
Hearing the two burly men's discussion, Chen Mengyao felt even more despair.
“If you want money, I will do my best to work and pay you back, but please spare my family…”
Chen Mengyao took a deep breath, trying to calm down, and said: “Please… my mother isn't well, she can't handle any more blows… I will definitely pay you back the money, truly…”
Just as Chen Mengyao was filled with despair.
The next moment,
The two leading black-suited men suddenly bowed respectfully and said:
“You've misunderstood, we are here to invite you on Young Master Lu's orders, we hope you won't make things difficult for us.”
Looking at the respectfully bowing black-suited men in front of her, Chen Mengyao blinked her beautiful almond-shaped eyes, her little head instantly froze!
Young Master Lu?!
“Invite me??” she repeated blankly, not comprehending the meaning of the sentence.
“Yes, invite you!” The leading black-suited man respectfully repeated.
His tone was serious and earnest, clearly not joking.
“…Who are you? I don't know you…”
Chen Mengyao shook her head in confusion, her face filled with bewilderment and incomprehension: “And the Young Master Lu you mentioned… who… who is he?”
She was sure she had never known any Young Master Lu, let alone had any connection with them… But the black-suited men didn't answer her words; instead, they made an inviting gesture with their hands, and said sincerely:
“Please come with us, Young Master Lu will tell you everything.”
After speaking, the black-suited men bowed to Chen Mengyao again, behaving with extreme respect and politeness.
The remaining twenty-odd burly black-suited men also bowed in unison, their movements perfectly synchronized, as if they had practiced countless times beforehand.
Chen Mengyao had never seen such a display; she swallowed, her mind still full of questions, completely unable to understand the situation.
But her sister and mother were still at home, she had no choice.
Chen Mengyao lightly bit her lip, slowly put away the utility knife, suppressed the anxiety in her heart, and whispered: “Then… then let's go.”
The black-suited men's faces lit up, and they quickly led the way.
Chen Mengyao hesitated for a moment; although she remained wary, at this point, she could only grit her teeth and follow.
The other black-suited men immediately followed quickly, escorting her downstairs.
The bewildered onlookers' eyes widened at this scene!
Not just the residents of the community, but even some pedestrians and vehicles talking in the distance noticed this scene, all turning their gazes.
“Looks like it's another girl caught the eye of Young Master Lu.”
“Alas, this is terrible; once she's taken away by Young Master Lu, this girl's innocence for life is gone.”
“What can you do when the Lu family holds absolute power in Yanjing City.”
“It's not just Yanjing, there are few forces in the entire Dragon Kingdom that dare to provoke the Lu family…”
“Keep your voice down, if someone with ill intentions hears us, we'll be in trouble.”
Everyone was discussing, all looking at Chen Mengyao with pity.
Chen Mengyao tightly clutched the corner of her clothes with both hands, her head bowed, silently following the black-suited men out of the alley.
It wasn't until a black-suited man opened the scissor door of the passenger seat of a sports car and gestured for her to get in that Chen Mengyao seemed to awaken from a dream.
She didn't know the brand of the sports car in front of her, but she knew that this sports car must be very, very expensive.
Chen Mengyao hesitated for a moment, but eventually, she got into the sports car.
The interior of the car was not as lavish as she had imagined; instead, it was very simple, yet every detail exuded luxury and refinement.
Chen Mengyao sat on the soft seat, feeling completely uncomfortable.
Her gaze swept around, finally landing on the driver's seat.
There,
Sat a young man in black casual clothes and sunglasses; although she couldn't see his full face, she could still tell he had a handsome and dashing face.
Chen Mengyao's heart skipped a beat, she only glanced once before quickly averting her gaze.
Just then,
A bouquet of fragrant pink roses was handed to her.
At the same time, a warm, clear, and magnetic voice came:
“For you.”
