Chapter 325
Falling For The Contract Bride
Chapter 325 Do You Know Rao Xue?
When Mu Zhi received Ericâs call and got to know where he was, she was completely stunned. She
rushed to Lu Jinyeâs house at once after hanging up!
Mu Zhi pushed the door open and saw Eric inside. Eric was sitting with a solemn look on his face. He
seemed to be waiting for her. Eric wondered if he should reveal the truth to Mu Zhi. He was a cautious
person.
Therefore, he needed to observe and see if Mu Zhi could take it or not.
Eric stood up when he saw Mu Zhi. Mu Zhi grabbed Ericâs hand and bombarded him with a series of
questions out of anxiety, âWhatâs the matter? Are you okay? Why are you here?â
Mu Zhi scanned the surroundings carefully, watching out for Lu Jinye.
Eric shook his head and simply replied, âIâm alright.â
âWhy did you call me here? Where is Lu Jinye?â
Mu Zhi asked again anxiously.
Eric raised his head and looked at Mu Zhi seriously with his big eyes wide open, âMommy, have you
ever thought that maybeâ¦â
âXie Xiu wasnât my father?â
Eric tried to ask Mu Zhi casually.
But when Mu Zhi heard this, she was stunned. Why would Eric say such a thing? But Mu Zhi did not
want to stay any longer at Lu Jinyeâs house as she was certain that he was the culprit who fed that
thought into Ericâs mind.
Mu Zhi looked around for Lu Jinyeâs presence. She did not bother to explain too much to Eric. She only
wanted to take him out of here as soon and as far as possible, away from Lu Jinye.
âLetâs go.â
Mu Zhi grabbed Ericâs hand.
However, Eric did not budge. He merely observed Mu Zhiâs reaction.
Eric trusted Lu Jinyeâs decision. He believed that he was Lu Jinyeâs son as well.
âCome on, letâs make a move.â
Mu Zhi persuaded, âWeâll talk about this at home.â
Only then did Eric budge. He followed Mu Zhi out of the house, but his eyes never left Mu Zhi.
Mu Zhi brought him out and got into the car. Then she ordered the driver to leave.
The driver started the car and quickly drove away from Lu Jinyeâs home.
Mu Zhi was on pins and needles in the car throughout the whole way back. She wanted to warn Eric to
stay away from Lu Jinye. It was best if he could even dodge whenever he heard his name.
But Mu Zhi did not find any chance to bring this up.
She didnât know how to answer either if Eric had asked her why.
However, Eric did not mention it at all in the car. He was worried that the driver would report their
conversation to Xie Xiu.
After twenty minutes or so of silence, Mu Zhi turned to look at Eric, and finally asked, âWhy were you
there? Why were you at Lu Jinyeâs house?â
Eric glanced at Mu Zhi and answered her calmly, âMom, I donât think Mr. Lu is a bad person.â
âYou have to listen to your mother whether he is or notâ¦â
Mu Zhi frowned. She was about to tell Eric about Lu Jinye. But before she could continue, a car
suddenly stopped in front of their vehicle.
Because it was too sudden, there was no time to duck. The driver slammed onto the steering wheel to
get around, and they rammed into a flower bed at the side. Fortunately, the driver slammed onto the
brake in the nick of time. Mu Zhi and Eric suffered no injuries because they were wearing seat belts.
âAre you all right?â
The driver quickly turned around to make sure.
âWe are fine.â
Mu Zhi was petrified. She checked on Eric immediately. To her relief, nothing serious happened to him.
The driver unfastened his seat belt and wanted to get out of the car to check. However, when he
opened the door, he saw a pair of womenâs feet standing at the door.
Whereas Mu Zhi saw a masked woman holding a black holed gun in her hand. She pointed it at the
driver.
Just as Mu Zhi was about to scream, the gun went off, and the driver was killed before he knew it. The
driverâs body fell limply onto the steering wheel. His body pressed against the horn and had it pressed
continuously.
Mu Zhi was terrified having witnessed this scene. She subconsciously held Eric tight in her arms and
continued to comfort him, âDonât be afraid, everything will be fine.â
Just then, the masked woman walked to the back seat and opened the car door. She signaled Mu Zhi
to get out of the car with her gun.
âWho are you?â Mu Zhi asked.
âGet off.â
The masked woman repeated herself.
Mu Zhi instinctively moved further into the car with Eric in her arms. It made her feel safer.
âMy patience is very limited.â
âBang!â
The masked woman fired another shot at the driverâs body. Blood dripped profusely from the back of
his body.
âOkay, weâll come out. Donât hurt us. If you want money, I can give you a lot of it.â
Mu Zhi got out of the car and went on, âYou should know my husband since you came here prepared.
He will pay you a lot of money in exchange for us.â
âGet in that car.â
The masked woman pointed to the car that had stopped in front of them.
âWe will be fine.â
Mu Zhi whispered into Ericâs ear and then took him into the car.
Eric clutched Mu Zhiâs hand tightly, and comforted his mother too, âI am not afraid whenever Iâm with
mommy.â
Then, both Mu Zhiâs and Ericâs heads were covered. Mu Zhi could feel the car start and passed through
a few corners. They could also hear the whistling of a train. Mu Zhi knew that her location was getting
more and more remote.
After a long time, the car finally stopped. The masked woman took Mu Zhi and Eric out of the car and
instructed them to walk forward.
Then Mu Zhi and Eric sat on chairs and were tied up.
The masked women took off the cloth over their heads. Only then Mu Zhi could see clearly that it was
an old warehouse. It was covered with dust and looked like it had been abandoned for a long time.
âWho are you?â
Mu Zhi pressed the woman once more.
The masked woman ignored her. But then Eric blurted, âYou must be only a subordinate because no
mastermind would be so stupid as to do the kidnapping himself. Tell your boss that he can do whatever
he wants except hurting mommy. If not, heâll be miserable for the rest of his life.â
The masked woman smiled menacingly without taking Ericâs words into account. But what this little
devil said was true. The âtaskâ was fully completed. It was time to report to the boss.
The masked woman took out her phone to call her boss, âBoss, it is done.â
âOkay.â
The call ended.
Mu Zhi listened in a daze.
There werenât any clues for her.
She abruptly asked the woman, âAre you sent by Rao Xue? Do you know Rao Xue? Or are you Rao
Xue?â
The woman chuckled lightly when she heard Mu Zhiâs questions.
âYouâve asked too many questions. And you shouldnât have asked some of them.â
Having said this, she ignored Mu Zhi and marched out.
The warehouse plunged into darkness the moment the door was closed.
