Chapter 551 CEO Chu, Come Yourself

“Heh… I’m not planning on doing anything?” It was that blood-curdling voice again. Listening to it made people’s hair stand-that eerily sharp voice.

“I can give you as much money as you want, but let me warn you. Don’t you dare touch a single strand of my daughter’s hair.” Chu Lui’s body was extremely stiff; the muscles in his body had all tensed up.

“I won’t tell you my motive yet. But first, I want you to personally come here alone and exchange your life for your daughter’s life. Your daughter sure is beautiful. If you dare to inform the police, I’ll chop off your daughter’s hand; and if that happens, I’m sure she would be in a lot of pain.”

Chu Lui’s heart skipped a beat as he heard Rainy’s endless crying from within the phone, calling for her mother.

“I’ll give you whatever you want; just don’t hurt my daughter. Tell me the address. I’ll head over right away,” Chu Lui frantically replied. He couldn’t sit still anymore. His daughter was crying; she was crying.

“Heh, it seems like the cold and ruthless CEO Chu is actually an extremely loving father. What a rare sight.” The man’s voice had become eerier. “Anyway, come to the warehouse next to the bus stop. Remember, come alone. If you bring somebody with you, I won’t be so nice to your daughter. This child’s extremely small. If I just slightly squeeze her bones, they’ll shatter.”

The man laughed maniacally, and then with a ‘beep’, he had ended the call. After a long time, Chu Lui finally put down the phone from his ear and placed it back in his pocket. He glanced carefully at his parents and then at Xia Ruoxin. That person’s target was evidently not Rainy but him. He clearly understood that going there alone would be extremely dangerous; however, right now, all he had in mind was Rainy’s safety. With every minute that passed, the amount of danger Rainy faced would increase.

“Don’t worry. I’ll bring Rainy back to you.” He walked to Xia Ruoxin’s side, and his hands clenched into fists. Actually, he really wanted to touch her face… but he couldn’t.

Xia Ruoxin’s lips moved slightly, seemingly able to feel the despair in Chu Lui’s eyes.

“Are you worried about me?” Chu Lui’s face suddenly broke into a smile, dyeing his cold and tough features with a shade of warmth. This man was actually not as coldhearted as people imagined. His heart was also unexpectedly soft. In front of the person he loved and cared about, he was no longer that affluent man on the market. Instead, he was simply an ordinary man with feelings and emotions, with flesh and blood.

Xia Ruoxin lifted her eyelids, her red lips moving slightly. She didn’t speak, but her eyes

—the endless droplets of tears that flashed across her eyes told him everything.

“Ruoxin, this is enough for me. I’ll never be able to repay you for the things I owe you. That’s why, don’t worry. I won’t steal your Rainy. Of course, I wouldn’t let anybody or any danger steal her away, too.”

After he finished speaking, he strode out of the

room.

“Cousin, where are you going?” Du Jingtang hastily chased after him. Why was he leaving so suddenly without saying anything? What was he going to do?

“I’m going to go save my daughter.” Chu Lui didn’t stop. No matter how dangerous it was going to be-Rainy, he was definitely going to save her.

“But going alone, Cousin, that’s too dangerous.” Du Jingtang quickly blocked his path. Was he even Chu Lui right now? How could he be so dumb? Going there alone… that was so dangerous. This person was clearly targeting him. If he went there and if something really happened to him, what was he going to do?

“He wants me to go alone. Otherwise, he’ll hurt Rainy. I can’t let my daughter get hurt.” Right now, he wasn’t Chu Lui. He wasn’t that CEO of the Chu Enterprise who had everything under control. He was a father, a father who was worried about his daughter. There was no way for him to calm down.

“Cousin, you can’t go there alone. It’s too dangerous.” Du Jingtang held onto Chu Lui. He couldn’t just watch him do such a reckless thing. Everything happened because of him, he was the one who lost Rainy. If anybody was going, it should be him. He wasn’t someone who ran away from his responsibilities, and he was definitely going to find Rainy.

“The person they want is me, Jingtang. Have you forgotten what I was before?” He pulled off Du Jingtang’s hand, and the moment his hand was released, the crease between his eyebrows deepened.

After he finished speaking, he pulled open the car door and drove off in front of Du Jingtang, both of his hands firmly gripping the steering wheel.

Rainy, don’t be afraid. Daddy will come to save you. You’re not alone. You have Mommy and Daddy. Daddy has never loved you, never doted on you, and never hugged you before. That’s why, even if I end up losing my life today, I’ll be sure to save you.

Chu Lui stopped the car. He couldn’t take any risks. Neither could he afford to. That’s why he really went alone without even calling the police. What he wanted was to ensure his daughter’s safety, and evidently, Rainy’s kidnapper was already insane. Nobody would bother reasoning with a maniac because there was already no reason in them.

Beside the bus stop was a warehouse. He lifted his head and menacingly narrowed his eyes. Then, he walked in. No matter how dangerous it was inside-his daughter, he was definitely going to save her.

There was no light in the warehouse. With the dim lighting, Chu Lui could only follow his instinct as he ventured inside. Because there was no proper ventilation, the air in the warehouse was extremely foul-smelling. On top of the dust and moldy smell—in the darkness, there was an impending sense of oppression.

Chu Lui suddenly stopped in his tracks because an obvious sound had traveled from not too far away.

Clap, clap, clap. The sound of clapping ceaselessly resonated throughout the dark warehouse, and in an instant, the lights turned on. Under the glaring lights, Chu Lui’s eyes were unable to adjust to his surroundings for a while.

“Mr. Chu, you really came. You surely are Chu Lui.” The clapping stopped, and the voice was starkly different from that on the phone. Evidently, this person was fully prepared. They even had their voice altered.

“Where’s my daughter?” Chu Lui straightened his body and stared straight into the murky eyes of the short man in front of him. In his memory, he had never offended somebody like him, and of course, that face was nowhere in his recollection.

“Your daughter?” The short man suddenly laughed creepily. “Where is your daughter? Of course, you should be asking your wife about it… no, it should be your ex-wife. This was all her idea. That’s why you don’t underestimate women. When they resolve themselves to it, they could be even crueler than men.”
