Chapter 971 - 971 931 Sneak Attack

971: Chapter 931: Sneak Attack 971: Chapter 931: Sneak Attack Lu Chuan rode up to the inn, and from a distance, he could see that the place was a mess, with broken items scattered all over the ground.

Lu Chuan looked up and saw that the second-floor windows had suffered an impact, becoming tattered, as if something had been thrown out from inside.

After dismounting, Lu Chuan walked towards the main door.

Su Changyue closely followed, staying by Lu Chuan’s side.

“What on earth happened here?

My brother isn’t in trouble, is he?”

She looked around tensely.

“Let’s go upstairs first and check the situation before we talk.”

Lu Chuan quickly stepped onto the stairs and reached the damaged room on the second floor.

After pushing the door open and entering, Lu Chuan saw that the room was in chaos, with signs of a struggle everywhere.

Jyang Ran, she sat against the wall, her head drooping, and seemed to be injured.

Beside her, Dongfang Cheng was taking deep breaths, rushing forward urgently when he saw Lu Chuan arrive.

“Lu Chuan, something terrible has happened, we got ambushed!”

Lu Chuan’s brow furrowed immediately, “What?

Who ambushed you?

Is everyone all right?”

Lu Chuan asked urgently.

“People… people are missing, Jyang Ran tried her best to fight the enemy, but she wasn’t strong enough, still letting the enemy succeed, we only left Xu Ling behind.”

He turned and pointed towards the figure on the bed.

“They only took Su Meeng?”

Lu Chuan asked.

Dongfang Cheng nodded slightly, “Yes, they only took Su Meeng, they were probably targeting him.”

Lu Chuan took a deep breath, “Where the hell did that guy escape to?”

“He fled through the window and ran madly towards City South, basically, opposite the direction from which you came.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly and continued, “I understand, I’m going out now to see if I can catch up.”

Su Changyue hurried over, grabbing Lu Chuan’s arm and pleading with a sobbing tone, “Young Master Lu, please be sure to help me find my brother, I beg you!”

Her eyes filled with tears, she was extremely anxious and just wanted to see her brother again.

Lu Chuan patted her shoulder gently, soothing her, “You wait here first, if I catch up with him, I’ll bring him back.”

“Okay… then I’ll wait here for you.”

She nodded helplessly, leaning to one side, and said no more.

Lu Chuan rushed out the door and quickly left the place.

Su Changyue turned to Dongfang Cheng and nodded slightly, “Hello, my name is Su Changyue, I am Su Meeng’s sister.”

“I know you, Su Meeng has told me about you.”

Dongfang Cheng turned and walked towards the bedside, “Do you know this person?”

Su Changyue walked over and hesitated for a moment when she saw Xu Ling’s face.

After all, Xu Ling’s face was covered in scars, and she could hardly recognize it at first glance.

“It looks like… it is Xu Ling indeed, I have seen her, how did she get injured like this?”

Her heart ached, and she gently stroked Xu Ling’s shoulder as if soothing a kitten.

Xu Ling remained with her eyes closed, in a deep sleep.

“You can wait here for a while, when Lu Chuan comes back, we will make a move.”

After Dongfang Cheng finished speaking, he looked towards Jyang Ran, “Miss Jyang, you also lie on the bed and rest for a while, the fight just now really took a toll, if it weren’t for you, we probably wouldn’t have been able to stop that bastard.”

“Didn’t we fail to stop him now as well?”

Jyang Ran said despondently.

“But you delayed them, who knows, maybe because of the time you gained, you gave Lu Chuan a chance?”

“All in all, your efforts were not in vain, they were definitely valuable and meaningful!”

Dongfang Cheng’s comfort made Jyang Ran feel like it was all empty talk.

“Ah, my capabilities still fall far short of Lu Chuan’s, this matter can only be handled by him.”

She struggled to get up and walked towards the bed, then lay down to rest.

Su Changyue touched Xu Ling’s face and asked softly, “Can you hear my voice?”

After a long while, Xu Ling slowly opened her eyes and was shocked to see Su Changyue right in front of her.

Suddenly, she calmed down, “You…

Are you Changyue sister?”

She stared wide-eyed, finding it hard to believe that she was looking at Su Changyue.

“Yes, it’s me, I finally found you!”

Xu Ling immediately threw herself into Su Changyue’s arms, beginning to sob heavily.

“Changyue sister, I…

I thought I would never see you again in this lifetime!”

“If we hadn’t been rescued, we might really have lived in a hell without daylight forever!”

“Speaking of which, where is Su Meeng?”

Su Changyue shook her head helplessly, “Su Meeng, he was taken away.”

Xu Ling was suddenly stunned on the spot, as if struck by a bomb, completely dazed.

“What?

Su Meeng was taken away?

By whom?

Those devils again?”

“Probably, but Lu Chuan has already set off to rescue him, hopefully, he can bring him back.”

Xu Ling clasped her head with her hands, as if doomsday had arrived.

“Ah!

He must be brought back!

If he can’t come back, I might as well be dead!”

Su Changyue touched her head and said, “Don’t be agitated, trust Young Master Lu.”

“Lu Chuan…”

Xu Ling narrowed her eyes slightly, sinking into contemplation.

“In a daze, I heard this name, he took us out of that place, allowing us to regain our freedom.”

“Where is he?”

“I just said, he went to find Su Meeng, trust him, he will surely succeed.”

Xu Ling sighed deeply, “I hope so…”

…

At that moment, Lu Chuan was riding his horse at full speed toward City South.

The horse galloped through the streets, with passersby hurriedly dodging, many of them startled, cursing at Lu Chuan’s retreating figure.

Lu Chuan rode quickly to the city gate and approached the guard there.

“Hey!

Have you seen a mysterious person leaving here with someone who is unconscious?”

The guard looked at Lu Chuan and then stood up straight, reporting seriously, “Report!

We haven’t seen any suspicious individuals!

We will increase surveillance to help you identify the target!”

“Pass the message to the other city gates, no one is to leave, understand?”

“No problem, we’ll notify the soldiers on the city walls to light torches and inform the other gates!”

Lu Chuan looked back at the street, empty and devoid of any human figures.

This made him fall into deep thought, had that bastard escaped after capturing Su Meeng?

He turned around and started to walk back, carefully scanning his surroundings so as not to miss any clues.

While walking, Lu Chuan noticed a figure lying on the ground in front of him crawling toward him.

Lu Chuan’s eyebrows were tightly knit, and he glanced around, finding the area still devoid of people, only him and the distant figure.

As Lu Chuan rode his horse closer, he realized this figure looked very familiar.
