Chapter 387: Acting Battle with Master Si
There was no breeze today and the forest was especially quiet. Gu Si called Lu Chengzhou and the call was connected quickly.
“What’s the matter?” the man’s deep voice rang in his ears.
He stood before the windows of No. 14 Research Center’s laboratory. His white coat was unbuttoned and his hand was in his pocket. He found it odd that Gu Si called him at this time.
Gu Si looked at his sister, who was playing with the gun, and said, “I need your help on a matter.”
“What’s wrong? Are you afraid of joining the team?” Lu Chengzhou asked. Qin Fang just sent him a text message an hour earlier. Gu Si should have joined the training team by now.
He witnessed Silence’s training methods in the past. The training was cruel and the participants put their lives at risk for it.
Gu Si rolled his eyes and his tone remained the same. “No.”
Lu Chengzhou raised his eyebrows but was expressionless as he said in a hoarse voice, “What’s the matter? Don’t beat around the bush with me.”
For Gu Mang’s sake, he would satisfy any demand that Gu Si had.
Gu Si paused for a second before asking in an uncomfortable manner, “Are you able to lend me one billion?”
Gu Mang watched his perfect acting and curled her lips sinisterly.
Lu Chengzhou frowned slightly. “One billion?”
“Right.” Gu Si felt relieved after saying it and his tone became a lot more normal.
Lu Chengzhou removed his hand from his pocket. He placed his hand on the windowsill as his well-defined finger tapped it. “What do you want one billion for?”
“I want to offer it as a reward to look for my sister,” said Gu Si softly.
Lu Chengzhou’s expression froze instantly and was shrouded in a depressive cloud as he asked coldly, “What happened?”
Gu Si sniffed as he choked. “I informed my sister before coming to training. It’s been more than twelve hours and my sister has yet to reply to me. This has never happened in the past. I suspect that something happened to her.”
Lu Chengzhou’s face turned sullen.
Gu Si continued to ask, “How long has it been since my sister last contacted you?”
Lu Chengzhou opened WeChat on his phone. The last message sent in their chat had been was from more than twelve hours ago.
He had sent her messages in the meantime but she had not responded. It truly was something that had never happened in the past…
Pursing his lips, he brought the phone back to his ear and said in a cold and calm manner, “Stay with Red Flame. If you’re not in the mood, just stay there. I’ll go look for your sister.”
He removed his white coat swiftly while heading out.
Gu Si acknowledged him but appeared terrified. Fear filled his childish voice. “Transfer me one billion. I have underground connections to put up a request and get them to help me search. I’ll return you the money next time.”
“Sure, send me your bank account number,” responded Lu Chengzhou. He took his jacket from the coatrack and exited the laboratory before adding, “Don’t be afraid. I’ll find your sister.”
Gu Si rolled his eyes but still sounded extremely aggrieved and fearful. “Quickly transfer me the money, then.”
Hanging up the call, Gu Si lowered his head without any expression. He reassembled his flip phone into a mini computer and swiftly found an offer for a reward website to assign the mission.
Gu Mang looked as her brother changed his expressions with practiced ease. She looked at the screen and tutted. “Your acting skills are not bad. You used Lu Chengzhou’s money to hire assassins to kill him. You’re pretty dark minded.”
If they were in Country Z, nobody could touch Lu Chengzhou. However, outside of Country Z, it would be a lot easier.
This kid used her to trick Lu Chengzhou
Insidious.
Gu Si harrumphed but did not stop typing on the keyboard. “He will definitely look for you everywhere but I think he won’t be able to find you. Even if he flipped the world upside down, he would never imagine that you’re at Red Flame. By the time he thinks about it, hehe.”
He really wanted to see the rogue’s expression when he found that his sister was Silence.
