Chapter 151: Kidnapping Lu Miao
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The leader of the group walked up to Lu Miao and said directly, ‘Miss Lu, our master, Mr. Jin, would like to invite you to his home. Come with us.”
Although the words sounded polite, the tall and burly men in black directly surrounded Lu Miao, leaving her no chance to refuse.
Mr. Jin?
Lu Miao raised an eyebrow. Wasn’t that the Jin family?
During the previous auction, it was the Jin family. She hadn’t had a chance to investigate further, and unexpectedly, they had come to her doorstep on their own initiative this time.
Her lips curved slightly, and she responded decisively, “Alright.”
She sent a message to Gu Ziheng, saying that she had something to attend to and asked him to go straight home. Then, she got into the car with them.
Forty minutes later, after going through tight security, the car entered a villa area within the third ring road and stopped in front of one of the villas.
Unlike the low-key elegance of the house chosen by Gu Shiyan, even before entering the Jin family’s gate, one could already feel the extreme luxury and opulence.
Whether it was the round fountain at the front entrance or the swimming pool on the side of the house, everything spoke of the homeowner’s extravagance.
After getting off the car and entering the villa, the interior decoration was even more splendid and luxurious.
Just the artworks hanging on the walls of the living room were worth at least eight figures.
However, no matter how luxurious the decoration was, this house was filled with an eerie stillness, as if something was constantly draining away its vitality. A strong sense of decay permeated the air.
Of course, this kind of aura couldn’t be seen by ordinary people with the naked eye.
Lu Miao narrowed her eyes as she scanned the room and gently brushed her fingers over the already withering green plants by the door.
A servant guided her to the study.
A middle-aged man who appeared to be in his forties or fifties stood behind the desk, holding a calligraphy brush and practicing calligraphy.
After the servant led her in, they left on their own.
Lu Miao glanced at the man. So far, he was losing vitality the fastest.
At this rate, it wouldn’t take many years for him to lose his life without anyone having to lift a finger.
Gu Shiyan had thought that the Jin family might have some connection to the masterminds behind the harm done to Gu Shiyan, but now it seemed that the Jin family was just a pawn in the scheme, completely unaware of everything.
The man remained silent, wielding his brush with great vigor. After finishing writing on the paper, he put down the brush and looked up at Lu Miao.
“Are you Lu Miao?” he asked.
“Yes, it’s me,” Lu Miao replied directly.
“I heard that you know acupuncture and even cured that young man from the Shen family who was paralyzed?” the man asked as he wiped his hands.
Lu Miao raised an eyebrow slightly, realizing that this was the reason behind his invitation. She had forgotten that earlier in Luocheng, she intentionally manipulated Jin Chen to seek revenge for Shen Muxian, only to end up trapping him instead.
Just like Jin Chen’s actions against Shen Muxian, he had also suffered a broken cervical spine.
Lu Miao had agreed to come with him because she wanted to know what role the Jin family played in Gu Shiyan’s affairs. Now that she knew they were just pawns, there was no need to pretend anymore.
“No, Mr. Jin, you’ve got the wrong person,” Lu Miao declared.
Jin Rui’s hand paused for a moment.
He was well aware of the grievances between Jin Chen and that young man from the Shen family, as well as Lu Miao being Shen Muxian’s classmate. Under normal circumstances, she wouldn’t agree to come, let alone provide medical treatment to Jin Chen.
That’s why he had used some methods to bring her directly from the TV station to his place.
What he hadn’t expected was that Lu Miao would have the audacity to refuse him so directly to his face.
“Lu Miao, do you know how many people silently disappear every day in this
“Since I found you, I’m sure you will. My son injured his cervical spine in a car race and he’s upstairs right now. I heard you had a little trouble today. If you’re willing to acupuncture and treat him, apart from a one-million-yuan reward, my Jin family will take care of your troubles. We can also have that show re-record the semifinals and let you directly enter the finals to win the championship. ”
With a mix of benevolence and power, first threatening and then offering benefits, he thought that a child of this age would probably be scared and agree with such a set, but unfortunately, he was dealing with Lu Miao.
“What if I say no?” Lu Miao asked.
Jin Rui’s face turned grim, and he angrily threw the inkstone on the table to the ground, saying coldly, “It’s not up to you to say no here.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the inkstone bounced back strangely and hit him on the forehead with a loud thud. Jin Rui’s vision darkened, and he almost fainted on the spot.
Lu Miao lazily lifted her eyelids and gave him a glance. He dared to threaten a heavenly master; he must have been tired of living.
She spoke directly, “No.”
Then she turned around and walked towards the exit. However, just as she reached the door of the study, before she had a chance to reach out and open it, a loud and chaotic sound of footsteps came from outside. Lu Miao quickly took a step back. The next moment, the study door was forcefully pushed open from the outside, and the servant who had brought Lu Miao in earlier appeared in a flustered state.
“Sir, the Gu family’s third…” He hadn’t finished his sentence when Gu Ziheng coldly walked in.
Seeing Lu Miao standing on the side, he immediately approached her, carefully inspecting her from head to toe.
Nervously, he asked, “Are you okay? Did you get hurt anywhere?”
While he was on the way, his phone had run out of battery right after he finished sending a message to Lu Miao. Therefore, he didn’t receive her subsequent message saying that something had come up.
When he arrived at the TV station and didn’t see Lu Miao, he was about to go in and look for someone when he happened to overhear the security guard gossiping about a young girl who participated in the program and seemed to have been taken away by a group of people, possibly offending someone.
Upon hearing this, Gu Ziheng immediately went to the TV station and retrieved the surveillance footage from the entrance. It turned out to be Lu Miao, and after checking the license plate number, he drove straight over upon discovering it belonged to the Jin family.
Before Lu Miao could reply, Gu Ziheng looked up and saw the inkstone on the ground. He sneered, walked forward with his hands in his pockets, and picked up the inkstone, shaking it in his hand. “Mr. Jin, at your age, it’s not very nice to bully a young girl.”
Jin Rui’s head was still buzzing from being hit by the inkstone. He hadn’t clearly heard what the servant who rushed in earlier had said.
All he saw was a young man storming in aggressively, then picking up the inkstone arrogantly and confronting him.
He assumed Lu Miao secretly called for help.
At this moment, he was already furious because he had thrown the inkstone out. When he saw this, he immediately shouted at the servant beside him,”
What are you doing? You can’t even guard the door. How can you let anyone in?
Call someone in immediately and throw him out..”
