Chapter 18: Successful Escape
The driver drove the car away and Su Ruoqing felt extremely relaxed, for she only needed to take one more action to escape from that devil.
“Stop the car. Stop!”
The driver heard Su Ruoqing’s words, but he didn’t stop the car.
“What’s wrong, Miss Su?”
“My stomach hurts. I need to go to the restroom. Please stop the car.”
Su Ruoqing’s attitude was sincere, and she hoped that the driver could stop the car to let her escape.
But the driver refused her request without any hesitation. “Miss Su, for your safety, I will bring you directly to the destination.”
His words made Su Ruoqing feel a little flustered, but in order to escape, she immediately straightened herself up. “Do I have to call the Young Marshal to gain a permission of going to the restroom? Or can you bear the consequences if there is something wrong with my body?”
Su Ruoqing’s sardonic voice sounded a little deterrent. After hesitating for a moment, the driver slowly hit the brake.
“Just stop at the street corner. I’ll come back for you later.”
“I’m afraid that won’t work, Miss Su. Young Marshal lets me guarantee your safety, so…”
“Are you kidding me? Maybe you have some dirty thoughts towards me. Do you want me to tell the Young Marshal that you even follow me to the restroom to protect me?”
Su Ruoqing glared at him and raised her voice. Then she walked quickly to the crowded place while the driver hesitated.
She ran as quickly as she could.
She felt so exhausted…
Su Ruoqing didn’t know how long she had run and where she had gone. Her feet had already lost strength, but as long as she kept running, she would be farther away from that devil.
At last, she had no more strength left.
Wearing a bright smile, Su Ruoqing was overjoyed that she succeeded.
Even though she escaped from Leng Yuhe, she still didn’t dare to let her guard down. After all, Leng Yuhe was a powerful man and he could catch her at any time. The money she carried wasn’t enough, and now she was at a loss.
Su Ruoqing’s cheeks were reddened, and her forehead was covered in sweat. She was racking her brains to figure out a solution.
Mingzhu! The only person she could rely on now was Mingzhu, and when thinking of this, she walked into a restaurant not far away.
“Miss, what can I do for you?” the waiter asked politely.
“Hello, I have an urgent need and I want to borrow your phone. I have money and I can pay you.”
“No problem. This way, please.”
After dialing Mingzhu’s number, Su Ruoqing waited anxiously. Then somebody answered the phone.
“Is it Mingzhu? I’m Ruoqing. Mingzhu…”
“Ruoqing? Are you looking for Mingzhu? She’s not here.” On the phone was a man’s voice, which sounded familiar.
“Mingzhe, why did you answer the phone? Where has your sister gone?”
Su Ruoqing asked in a choked voice, which made Mingzhe feel sorry for her. He still had some feelings towards Su Ruoqing, and when hearing her voice at this moment, he indeed felt a little anxious.
“Don’t be afraid, Ruoqing. I’ll be there for you no matter what happens. How about we meet at the cafe in Bakou Lane?”
Mingzhe’s voice was soft and affectionate, as if he were still her loving and caring fiancé.
“Alright.” Su Ruoqing had no choice but to agree to his request.
The driver waited for a long time at the street corner, but Su Ruoqing didn’t return. He finally found out that something was wrong and immediately reported the situation to the housekeeper.
When receiving the news, Leng Yuhe was worshiping his mother. When he stared at the cold gravestone, his look softened a little bit, but then he suddenly put on a cold expression.
“Search the whole city immediately and bring her back to me before dark.”
“Yes, General.”
After bowing three times to the gravestone, Leng Yuhe put on a cloak and prepared to leave.
“General, you still have an appointment with President Zhang
(of a bank) and others today. Do you want to meet them now?” The subordinate looked at the cold expression of Leng Yuhe and asked carefully.
Leng Yuhe thought for a while. He might require a lot of financial support to carry out his future plans, so it was necessary for him to meet President Zhang.
“Let’s go now.”
Su Ruoqing came to the coffee shop where Mingzhe had agreed. She had mixed feelings when seeing Mingzhe sit there, and she didn’t know whether she should come over.
“Ruoqing, you’re here.”
Under the intense gaze of Mingzhe, Su Ruoqing walked over.
“Ruoqing, what happened? Do you know I’m really worried about you? You’ve lost weight. What have you been through these days? It’s my fault that I can’t protect you properly.”
Mingzhe blamed himself with regret, letting Su Ruoqing relax slowly. “I’m fine. Nothing happened.”
“Ruoqing, you don’t have to comfort me. We all know what kind of person Leng Yuhe is. How can you lead a good life with him? It’s all my fault.”
Su Ruoqing looked at Mingzhe’s concerned look, and her heart softened. “I am really fine. Leng Yuhe is terrible, but he didn’t do anything to me. I’ve managed to get through the last few days, and successfully escaped today.”
A hint of shrewdness flashed through Mingzhe’s eyes. Since Su Ruoqing was safe in Leng Yuhe’s hands, it might mean that Leng Yuhe treated her differently. In that case, Leng Yuhe would be willing to sacrifice something for her…
Thinking about this, Mingzhe continued to be caring and attentive to her. He said, “Ruoqing, this is your favorite cake. I’ve always remembered it…”
Su Ruoqing felt warm inside. After all, she took a fancy to Mingzhe before.
