The Little Brat's Sweet And Sassy Chapter 1198 – Chapter 1198 Connected Hearts

1198 Connected Hearts

What an idiot.

Shi Yang looked at his phone with an extremely cold expression on his face.

With this one call, all of his previous efforts were now in vain. He did not need to think to know that his current position had been pinpointed.

… At this time, he should have been at home in Fenghu Peninsula.

He raised his head and looked out the window again.

Looking at the time, he estimated that they must have already started up the hill.

It was a pity because he did not want to get involved in this.

However, it seemed like there was no other choice.

It seemed as if a long time had passed, but it also seemed like an instant. Shi Yang’s eyes narrowed, and he returned to his usual gentle look.

However, there was a hint of bone-chilling coldness between his brows, as if a certain resolution had been made.

He changed his shoes, put his phone on the cabinet, and went out.

Soon, a silver-gray car drove away and disappeared into the rain.

…

The black sports car sped past, making splashes in the rain.

The man in the driver’s seat had a cold expression on his face, and his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.

His phone rang. He glanced at it and quickly picked it up.

“Hello,” he said.

“Lu Er, I’ve sent someone to confirm that Shi Yang is not in his home in Fenghu Peninsula. Also, his assistant, Song Miao, was summoned by the police not too long ago. Apparently, it was due to the matter of the fake painting.”

Gu Tinglan frowned.

“I’m at the Public Security Bureau right now, and I’ve told them about Ah Li’s disappearance. Song Miao said that Shi Yang only told him to tell everyone that he was staying at home the whole day, but he didn’t know where he has actually gone. However, before he came to the bureau, he called Shi Yang, and it showed that Shi Yang was indeed in Jingye Villa.”

Lu Huaiyu looked at the villa in front of him and stepped on the brakes. The car immediately stopped, and the tires screeched as they scraped against the ground.

He unbuckled his seat belt and said in a deep voice, “I’ve already arrived.”

He quickly got out of the car.

With a bang, the car door closed.

When Gu Tinglan heard the voice from the other end, he was suddenly stunned.

Despite the heavy rain, the sound of the brakes and the door closing could still be clearly heard.

His heart skipped a beat.

“Lu Er, did you drive your own car?!”

Lu Huaiyu strode to the front of the villa.

The rain quickly wet his hair and shirt, making his eyes look even darker.

Hearing what Gu Tinglan said, he only replied with a faint “Hmm”.

The entire villa was quiet, and the door was tightly shut.

He took half a step back before suddenly raising his leg!

Bang!

The door to the villa was kicked open by him!

When Gu Tinglan heard this, he suddenly came back to her senses.

“Lu Er! You can’t–”

At this point, he suddenly stopped.

Can’t what?

Lu Huaiyu could not drive, yet he had already done so!

And in the current situation…

Lu Huaiyu entered the villa and quickly looked around.

It was clean and tidy, without the slightest sound.

Suddenly, his eyes focused on a cell phone that was placed on the cabinet.

He picked it up and glanced at it. It had already been turned off.

This seemed to belong to… Shi Yang?

He clenched his fists and continued to walk further in.

There were only two teacups on the coffee table in the living room.

One cup was half full, while the other was empty.

When he touched it, he found that it was completely cold, but no one was there.

Gu Tinglan felt as if something was clenching his heart as he listened to the sounds.

“Second Lu, what’s the situation like? Where’s Ah Li?”

Lu Huaiyu straightened his body and fixed his gaze on the fish tank not far away.

At the bottom, a familiar phone lay quietly.

His heart sank completely.

“She’s not here.”

“What!”

Lu Huaiyu did not say anything. He walked over and took the phone out.

The screen was cracked, and there was an obvious bump mark at the corner. That mark had to have been caused by a heavy fall to the ground.

Gu Tinglan’s brows were tightly locked together. He said anxiously, “How could she not be there? Didn’t you say that this was the location that she sent you? And Shi Yang, he’s…”

“That was earlier.”

Lu Huaiyu’s voice was cold.

He was still a step too late.

Gu Tinglan’s voice stopped abruptly. Then, a deeper sense of uneasiness and worry welled up from the bottom of his heart.

“Then, you mean to say…”

“Ah Li’s car isn’t here.”

Lu Huaiyu closed his eyes.

Neither she nor Shi Yang was not here. Her phone had been thrown into the fish tank, and Shi Yang had put his phone on the cabinet at the entrance.

It was obvious that she had encountered some kind of threat and had been forced to lose contact with him.

As for Shi Yang, he must have realized something was wrong after receiving Song Miao’s call, so he had left his phone there on purpose.

Lu Huaiyu’s eyebrows twitched.

Shi Yang was so straightforward that he did not even mind his phone being discovered. It could only mean–

He had the intention to kill!

“Lu Er? Lu Er!”

Gu Tinglan’s nervousness increased when he did not hear any movement from the other end for a long time.

Lu Huaiyu lowered his head slightly, his eyelashes trembling.

His heart was beating uncontrollably, and his ears were ringing.

Where was she?

Where would Shi Yang take her?

…

Xijing University.

In the conference room of the administration building.

A group of school leaders was having a meeting.

Shen Zhijin sat there as he studied the meeting materials in his hands.

However, for some reason, he could not fully focus on them even after trying several times.

There seemed to be an inexplicable restlessness in his heart, making him unable to calm down.

He looked outside. The wind was very strong as the rain continually hit against the glass.

“Zhijin? Zhijin?”

Zhang Yao, who was sitting beside him, called him twice in a loud whispered until he came back to his senses.

“What’s wrong?”

Zhang Yao frowned slightly.

Zhijin, you seem a little out of it. Are you feeling unwell? ”

Shen Zhijin rarely became distracted on such occasions. However, he did not seem to be in a good state today.

Shen Zhijin paused and shook his head.

He took out his phone and sent Shen Li a message.

[ Ah Li, is there anything else you want to eat besides the crispy peach pie? I’ll buy them at the same time. ]

After sending this message, he waited for a while, but Shen Li did not reply.

He frowned slightly.

Just then, a phone call came in.

It was from Xu Yin.

Shen Zhijin raised his head and interrupted the meeting.

“I’m sorry, I need to go out to take a call.”

Everyone looked over in surprise.

Shen Zhijin rarely answered the phone during meetings. This was…

However, with his status, no one would dare stop him.

Shen Zhijin walked out of the meeting room and went to the corridor. He answered the call.

“Elder Xu,”

“Zhijin, Ah Li said she would come to the laboratory this afternoon. I was wondering why isn’t she here yet? I’ve called her, but she hasn’t been answering,” Xu Yin asked curiously.

Shen Zhijin felt his heart stop for a moment.

“What?”

“You don’t know either? I was wondering if the girl had something on at the last minute and couldn’t come. But if that were the case, she would have told me…” muttered Xu Yin.

Shen Zhijin’s body turned cold and the growing uneasiness almost swallowed him whole.

It was at that moment that another call came in.

It was Lu Huaiyu.
