“Why not?” Lu Beichen asked .
Gu Jingze already put on his coat at top speed . “Who would ask for only five hundred Euros for kidnapping?”
Alright then . It looked like they met with a rip-off this time .
“Damn . Who dares to rip us off? I’ll go have a word with them . ”
“That’s enough . You better think of how you’re going to answer to Bernard . I heard that his manor was burned to ashes and half of his property was burned down . ”
“…” Lu Beichen’s feat yesterday was still not over .
But after returning and settling Gu Jingyan down, he heard that Lin Che went missing . How could he possibly care about anything else?
No matter what, he wanted to find Lin Che .
“I’ll go with you . I’ll pay the five hundred Euros and then help you teach that bastard a lesson . ”
Lu Beichen followed after him and simply hopped into Gu Jingze’s car .
As they did not want to shock the person, they did not bring anyone with them .
It was just the two of them with their chauffeur driving them to the red light district .
Meanwhile, at Lin Che’s side .
Sitting there now, she saw that the girl kept looking at her . She asked, “Why do you keep looking at me?”
“Oh, it’s nothing . Right, these are all my friends . Tony, Martin, and Murray . ”
“Is it? Hello . ”
“Yes . We roam around here and pull in customers from time to time . ”
“Why roam around?” Lin Che asked strangely .
“We ran away from home . ”
“…” Lin Che looked at her and was unable to understand . She hadn’t eaten the whole morning and felt hungry . She asked, “Can we go get some food?”
“Okay . Do you have money on you?”
“No…” Lin Che looked at them . “Go buy some food first . I’ll return you the money when my family gets here, okay?”
She looked at Lin Che and nodded .
The few of them walked outside and looked at the breakfast windows . Lin Che chose the food she wanted to eat .
The strange-looking breakfast didn’t really spike Lin Che’s appetite .
Then, she saw a Chinese restaurant . She quickly said, “Oh my, I want to eat that!”
The girl at the back asked, “Boss, you really know how to pick the most expensive things . All the shops around here are very cheap . Why did you pick that?”
“They don’t really suit my taste… I’ll pay you back when my family comes!”
She replied, “Okay then . ”
The two of them went in .
“What would you like to have?” A lady inside looked at them and asked .
Lin Che wondered why she hadn’t seen this Chinese restaurant earlier? She could have come to them for help .
It was probably because she didn’t quite dare to venture too far, so she didn’t walk here .
“Boiled fish… lamb kidney, sautéed shredded meat…”
“Okay, payment first . ”
“Huh? Why?”
The lady boss narrowed her eyes at these kids . “These dishes are very expensive . How do I know that you kids won’t run away after eating? You must show me that you have the money . ”
“Are you kidding me? You look down on us?” Lin Che asked .
The lady boss scoffed, “Why don’t you show me your money now?”
“I…” Lin Che wanted to, but… she really didn’t have any money on her .
The lady boss saw this and slapped the table . She said, “Get out, get out . All of you get out! How can you eat in a restaurant if you have no money?”
Lin Che glared at the lady boss . This was too ridiculous .
However, the few kids seemed to already be used to it . They looked at her, shrugged their shoulders, and walked out .
Lin Che could only leave in a huff .
Without any breakfast, they could only go back . She looked speechlessly at the young girl, “Kids of your generation seem to be very notorious . ”
The young girl rolled her eyes .
Just then, outside…
A car rolled up and made everyone around it turn their heads .
The young girl’s friends exclaimed, “Wow! A sports car!”
“It looks good . It’s vintage; it must be very expensive . ”
“It looks like an antique . Is it an old version from here?”
Lin Che turned her head and saw a little black car . It looked very European .
The car stopped . When Gu Jingze and Lu Beichen stepped out of it, the young girl was stunned .
The two men were about the same height . One wore denim and looked like a distinguished rich man . One had a calm and expressionless face . He looked mature in his casual Western clothes .
But they were both handsome and had an extraordinary aura .
The girl was still stunned while Lin Che said, “Gu Jingze, you guys are here…”
Lin Che really relaxed the moment she saw Gu Jingze .
Gu Jingze watched Lin Che jump down . He strode forward and brought Lin Che into his embrace .
Lin Che looked up . “You guys are finally here . I thought I was going to be left on the streets . ”
“Silly girl . Why didn’t you bring your phone out with you?!” Gu Jingze looked down and frowned at her, looking at her travel-strained face .
Lin Che said speechlessly, “I thought I was only out to take a breather . It turned out that there are many drunkards here at night . ”
“Of course . It’s very messy here,” Gu Jingze said .
Lin Che said, “Thankfully, I bumped into this young girl who knew how to speak Mandarin . I need to thank her for her help . ”
Help?
Gu Jingze looked up at the few kids .
This Lin Che was almost sold off and she was completely unaware .
Gu Jingze said, “It looks like she didn’t tell you that I could only take you away if I paid her one thousand Euros?”
“…” Surprised, Lin Che turned back . “What… You guys…”
The girl saw this and the first thing she wanted to do was run .
Although they were young, they had been here for a long time . They knew some things and they knew that these two people were no ordinary people .
Wouldn’t they run if they provoked the wrong people?
However, Lu Beichen already ran after them and quickly brought them back…
Two kids were caught by the back of their heads .
“Are you running away? Don’t you want your one thousand Euros?”
The girl turned to look at Lin Che . She smiled sheepishly . “Sis, is this your boyfriend? He’s so handsome… Please let me go . I didn’t do anything to you . It’s just that we ran away from home and needed a bit of money…”
“…” Lin Che was really angry . “So you really lied to me? You guys wanted to sell me?”
“Not at all, Sis . We were helping you, weren’t we? We just wanted a little fee in return . Also, seeing that they have such a nice car, one thousand Euros shouldn’t be a big deal . It’s as good as tipping a bellboy, isn’t it?”
The young girl grinned especially wide .
Lin Che could only speechlessly roll her eyes .
Seeing that Lu Beichen was still pulling the girl by the collar, she could only say, “Forget it, forget it . Young Master Lu, let her go . It’s true that nothing happened to me . ”
The young girl was then released .
Not daring to ask for anything else, she said to Lin Che, “Thank you, Sis! You’re the best! No wonder you have so many handsome guys around you . But is that handsome guy really your boyfriend?”
