My Beautiful Love

Chapter 78 - Who was he?

"Mmh, I wonder how Yun Xuan's date went." Wan Jia mumbled to herself. She was bored as hell. Her baby had adamantly refused to return home when she called, her sweetheart was still busy, hey! Did these two punks want her to die from boredom?

It was already 7pm; she had just finished arranging the shoes and jewelry she had chosen for the banquet. She sent Yun Xuan another message asking if she was alright. She had tried to call severally but the phone was switched off. If she was meeting Tyler, Wan Jia would have relaxed and taken it as they were too engrossed in displaying their affection for each other to care about her; however, this was a stranger. They were meeting for the first time. How sure could they be that this man did not harbor ill intentions?

Pondering for a while, she gave Lu Aotian a call.

"Miss me already?" the voice on the other end was deep and cheerful.

"Can I miss you later? I'm worried about Xuanxuan." She said.

"What about her?"

"She went on a date with a strange man and now I can't reach her." She explained briefly.

Lu Aotian sounded annoyed. "Went on a date with a strange man? Is her brain alright?"`

"It's a blind date but that man...whatever it is, her phone is switched off and I don't have a good feeling about this. Help me check her location, okay?"

The other side was silent for a while.

"Lu Aotian?"

"Mmh, what did you call me?"

"Gah! Can you focus on urgent matters first? I'm worried to death here."

"Call me 'husband' and I'll look for her."

"Fine, husband. Hanging up now." She rushed him.

He giggled after successfully getting that long anticipated word out of her mouth. Finding Yun Xuan's location? That should take less than thirty seconds with his personally modified software. In fact he had already started checking before she hung up and had just a few seconds left.

Lu Aotian looked at the screen and his heart skipped a beat. He took a deep breath and texted Wan Jia [she's alright] then he took his car keys and blazed out of the office. Tsk, good thing he was the only one working overtime. Otherwise his employees would freak out if they saw him rush out at that speed.

"Get 20 E class men ready and follow me." He shouted orders to his assistant on phone as he switched on his car tracker. His bodyguards were classified in groups according to their skill and experience. The E class, Excellent class, were the second most experienced and fiercest among them all.

The assistant arranged for them right away. For the boss to summon so many of them, something urgent must have happened.

….

At the same time, in a hidden room of a blurry underground casino.

"You guys let me go! Do you know who I am? Do you know who my father is?" Yun Xuan threatened.

"Tsk, just an impostor acting all high and mighty." One of the kidnappers sneered.

"If you tell us what we want, we shall let you go." Another added.

"I don't know what you guys are talking about." She cried. These men had been interrogating her for ages about General Yun and the Yun family. How could she say a thing? That was classified information about her family they were asking about and logically Wan Jia shouldn't know any of it unless…unless she had learnt too much from the time she was living in the Yun family mansion.

"Since you don't want to talk, I'll help you talk." A bulky man said as he made his way to her.

"You...what are you…I really don't know anything!" she said, trembling like a leaf. If she proved to them that she was not Wan Jia, maybe they would be afraid of offending her father and set her free. However, she really wanted to know who it was that wanted to kidnap her friend. Besides, she would have delivered herself as the real daughter who knew what they were asking about and the one to be tortured would be her. Of course she knew it was dangerous.

These men were bloodthirsty maniacs who would resort to violence if they didn't have their way and could even decide to kill her.

The bulky man ordered for a bucket of ice cubes to be brought over and held Yun Xuan's neck roughly, about to shove her head in the ice cubes.

At that moment, the door flew open and the men retreated, cowering in fear.

"Boss, we didn't get anything from her." The bulky man reported with shaking legs.

Yun Xuan kept her head hung low silently as she heard the newcomer's firm footsteps get closer…

'A man that could manage to bribe Luo Gishen and his father... Who could it be? Luo Gishen himself? That was not right. That idiot seemed to have been made to create a trap. Her father's political rivals? That would be a possibility if the target was Yun Xuan.

Someone close to her father? It was quite possible…considering this idiotic mastermind knew about Wan Jia and purposefully chose to aim for her. Of course anyone close to the Yun family would know that Yun Xuan would never tell on her father even on the brink of death.

She really wanted to know who that despicable man was. She would warn Wan Jia next time. She would also know who among her father's people was a traitor and would warn him too if she left this place alive.

Making a difficult decision, she lifted her eyes slowly and looked up at the man.

"What the---!" She was so shocked that her first reaction was to faint.
