Chapter 1048: Escaping on a Plane That Very Night

The moment Lin Shuang received the call from Qin Fang, she knew who the caller really was. Thus, she didn't hesitate to reject the call.

She had once considered explaining things to He Yidu, but she didn't know what she should say. If she were to say that she blocked him because she realized that she was a bit fond of him and didn't want her feelings to affect herself, it would be no different from a confession, and she would be giving him hope when she had no intention of doing so. Hence, she had no qualms about blocking him. She wanted to end things as fast and clean as possible.

She reckoned that she handled this matter quite well in a calm, decisive, and direct manner. He Yidu will probably understand my intentions when I refused to even take Qin Fang's call. Looks like I can't come to the capital often in the future or things will get awkward if we run into each other. Even if I want to come, I have to wait until He Yidu gets married. Our feelings will eventually become a thing of the past and I can then give his child a big red packet as a token of apology.

When Lu Qi, who was driving the car, heard Lin Shuang let out a long sigh at the back, he looked into the rearview mirror with a deep and complicated expression. She blocked He Yidu just because she likes him?! How cruel! As expected of Shadow League's Nine Tails! Since ancient times, those who are out to do great things usually stay clear of love and relationships since they can become the stumbling block to success. Boss and Sis Mang are an exception, of course.

He hadn't meant to eavesdrop on the conversation between Gu Mang and Lin Shuang earlier. He had wanted to deliver a few plates of fruits to the study when he accidentally heard Lin Shuang saying that she had blocked He Yidu's contact from outside. The thing was that the study room's door wasn't closed and had a narrow gap. He reckoned that Gu Mang probably didn't say anything about his presence and allowed him to listen to their conversation because it wasn't a big deal.

Upon sensing Lu Qi's gaze on her, Lin Shuang looked up and narrowed her eyes slightly in a wicked manner. She smiled. "Little Qiqi, what's with that look, huh?"

The bombed villa had been a traumatic memory for Lu Qi, which was why he revered and feared Lin Shuang so much. Had it been done by someone else, he could gather his buddies together and dig up the other party's ancestral graves, but unfortunately for him, he couldn't do anything about Lin Shuang as she was Gu Mang's friend. Thus, he could only suck it up on his own.

Upon meeting Lin Shuang's eyes, Lu Qi frantically averted his gaze and stared straight ahead with an expressionless face. "If you run into any trouble in Country D, you can ask Red Scorpion for help. We have a branch over there. I'll give you the contact information later."

Lin Shuang raised her eyebrows. "And how do you know that I'll run into trouble?"

Lu Qi played dumb.

"You heard everything?" asked Lin Shuang nonchalantly with a curl of her lips.

Lu Qi nervously gulped. "Just a little…"

Lin Shuang was distracted when she was talking to Gu Mang earlier, so she didn't notice that Lu Qi was outside the study. Otherwise, with her keen senses, she definitely would've noticed his presence and caught him in the act right on the spot.

Lin Shuang leaned forward, placing her elbow against the back of the passenger seat and her chin on the back of her hand. Her eyes looked alluring as she very gently said, "I don't care how much you heard, but you're dead meat if you run your mouth. You hear me?"

Lu Qi stiffened as he gave a trembling nod. "…Yes."

Only then did Lin Shuang smile. "Good."

Lu Qi drove Lin Shuang to the airport lobby before respectfully saying, "Goodbye, Ms. Lin."

Taking her small silver luggage with her, Lin Shuang nodded and turned around to leave for the VIP entrance.

Lu Qi dazedly returned back to the car as he contemplated on whether or not he should tell He Yidu about Lin Shuang. "Ugh, whatever! I won't hesitate to go all out for my buddy! I would rather destroy ten temples than destroy a marriage!"

Clenching his teeth in determination, Lu Qi then put down the words he heard earlier in a memo and then copied and pasted them to send to He Yidu. After that, he immediately texted Lu Chengzhou. [Boss, I want to seek refuge at Mingyu Island right away!]

All Lu Chengzhou replied was [Okay.] It was like he seemed to know what prompted this request.

Lu Qi thus bought a plane ticket for Mingyu Island that very night.
