Chapter 654: Chapter 654 Save Me_1

"Let me go!" Cheng Bingbing, held by Zhou Lu, wanted to push him away, but right now, she didn’t even have the strength to lift her arm.

Upon hearing her words, Zhou Lu not only did not let her go, but he held her even tighter.

He brushed aside the strands of hair in front of Cheng Bingbing’s forehead, looked at her with heated interest, and said, "Don’t rush, I will take you back to the room and pamper you properly."

While speaking, he picked Cheng Bingbing up sideways, took a big step away from the dining room, and walked into the suite he had booked upstairs.

Cheng Bingbing, at this moment, didn’t even have the strength to call for help.

She could only open her eyes, silently screaming in desperation within her heart, whether anyone could come and save her.

She had struggled so hard to get out of all the quagmires, she didn’t want to fall in again.

Even though her thoughts were becoming increasingly chaotic due to the effects of the drug, she still recognized her reality.

She knew... there was no one who would come to rescue her!

She was finished!!!

When Zhou Lu entered the elevator with Cheng Bingbing in his arms, he saw two people standing inside. One of them was wearing Buddha Beads and appeared very refined, much like a banished immortal who had stepped out from the mundane world.

However, he dared not underestimate this man.

This man had the power and influence in both legal and illegal ways. He was the only one in A City who could be a match for Bo Jingyan.

"Master Huo...", he respectfully greeted him.

"Hmm." Huo Qichen gave him a slight glance, nodded his head as a response.

This kind of response might seem perfunctory to others, but coming from Huo Qichen, it was considered an honor to receive such attention.

After all, with Huo Qichen’s status, even if he completely disregarded Zhou Lu, he would not dare to voice the slightest grievance.

As time passed, Cheng Bingbing’s consciousness became increasingly blurry. Just as she was on the verge of losing consciousness, she suddenly heard Zhou Lu call out ’Master Huo’.

That word ’Huo’, suddenly sounded like a thunder in her mind, making her think of Huo Qilin.

With strong willpower, she regained a bit of consciousness.

"Help... help... me..." Cheng Bingbing stuttered out these three words, one by one.

Simultaneously, she raised her hand weakly, trying to grab onto something,

She had already used all her strength, but the voice she made was incredibly weak, it was impossible to understand what she said unless someone put their ear next to her mouth.

Zhou Lu’s face instantly turned ugly, fearing it would draw Huo Qichen’s attention.

Even though he knew that with Huo Qichen’s character, even if it did catch his attention, he would not necessarily interfere, he still believed in the principle of avoiding unnecessary trouble.

At the moment Cheng Bingbing called for help, Huo Qichen’s ears twitched slightly.

He then cast a casual glance at the woman in Zhou Lu’s arms whose face couldn’t be seen, and remained completely unmoved, as if nothing had happened at all.

At this moment, the elevator ’dinged’, indicating Zhou Lu’s reserved suite floor had arrived.

He immediately left the elevator with Cheng Bingbing in his arms.

The last tiny spark of hope in Cheng Bingbing’s heart was thus extinguished!

Huo Qichen casually played with the Buddha beads on his wrist, showing no interest in what just happened until his assistant suddenly exclaimed.

His gaze then moved, lazily asking, "What is it?"

"Mr. Huo, did your Buddha beads break?" The assistant bent down to pick up a bead and handed it to him.

Huo Qichen stilled the hand playing with the beads, looking at the bead in his assistant’s hand.

When he saw the bead clearly, it seemed like he thought of something. A flicker of contemplation flashed in his eyes.

Soon, the assistant realized that Huo Qichen’s string of Buddha beads was still intact on his wrist. He then wondered, "Mr. Huo, if this bead is not yours, then it is from..."

He immediately thought of the two people who shared the elevator with them earlier, "Could it have dropped from one of them?"

Huo Qichen didn’t answer his question, instead took the bead. His long, fair and delicately knuckled hand toyed with the bead and asked, "What floor did those two get off?"

The assistant promptly replied, "The twelfth floor."

"Go to the twelfth floor!" Huo Qichen calmly ordered.

Even though the assistant didn’t understand what was happening, he obediently carried out Huo Qichen’s command.

...

In another place.

Because Cheng Bingbing didn’t return that night, Huo Qilin laid on the couch by himself, aimlessly watching an old classic movie on TV.

Eventually, he unknowingly drifted off to sleep.

He didn’t know how long he had been asleep, when all of a sudden...

A loud thunder woke him up from his dream. He sat up on the couch, panting heavily. His forehead was covered in cold sweat.

He just had a nightmare where Cheng Bingbing was calling for help, her body covered in blood.

Huo Qilin was about to go and save her when he abruptly woke up.

He poured himself a glass of water, then downed it in one go, but for some reason, the sense of panic from his dream did not subside.

He still felt a lingering sense of dread.

Then, there was a rumbling sound of thunder outside the window, which was quickly followed by a heavy downpour.

Perhaps it was due to the impending rain earlier, for the air was still thick with a sense of oppression, making him extremely agitated, he simply could not calm down.

Huo Qilin turned on the air conditioner, a gust of cool wind blew across the room, but it did not alleviate his discomposure at all.

He took out his phone to check the time and found it was already past eleven o’clock.

Considering the nightmare he just had, he still felt unease. By now, the party Cheng Bingbing was attending should be over, and she should not have gone to bed yet.

Having lived together with Cheng Bingbing for such a long time, he had got to know her routine.

Unless there were special circumstances, she would usually study for a while and go to bed around midnight.

Huo Qilin decided to give Cheng Bingbing a call to confirm her safety.

With that thought, he dialled her number.

However, no one picked up.

Several calls had the same result.

Huo Qilin feared that she was in the shower and didn’t hear the ring, so he decided to call again later.

He waited for half an hour. Engrossed with his worry, it was almost midnight. Cheng Bingbing should be lying down and preparing for bed by now, she would definitely answer.

With this thought, he redialled Cheng Bingbing’s number.

But the result was beyond his expectation, just like before, no one answered.

A frown quickly formed on Huo Qilin’s face, unexpectedly, the nightmare he had repeated in his mind. Although he consoled himself that dreams are usually the opposite of reality,

However, given that Cheng Bingbing was not answering the phone, he still couldn’t feel at ease.

He wanted to contact the production crew to confirm if Cheng Bingbing was safe, but he barely knew anyone from the crew, and he didn’t have any of their phone numbers.
