Xu Lian did not continue and hung up the phone.

Anyway, this day next year would be Pei Xin’s death anniversary. She had nothing to say to the dead.

To kill Pei Xin, she had spent a lot of money to devise this plan.

She gave 500,000 dollars to Xu Ke and 500,000 dollars to Zhao Shuang.

To make Xu Ke shut up, she even took out ten branded bags and jewelry necklaces to give her. Only then did Xu Ke agree to help.

Xu Lian was no longer the eldest daughter of the Xu family. The Xu family was only an empty shell. How could she still have money? But if she could kill Pei Xin, this money would be worth it.

“Who called?” Lu Huai had unknowingly walked behind her, and his voice startled Pei Xin.

“N-no no one.” Pei Xin wanted to lie, but when she met the other party’s eyes, she almost blurted out the truth.

Lu Huai could see her emotions. He knew who had called just now. “What do you need me to do?”

He didn’t ask for more information so Pei Xin looked at him blankly.

Perhaps it was because he had saved her many times, or perhaps it was because he looked indifferent and reliable, or perhaps it was because Pei Xin trusted him from the bottom of her heart. She blurted out, “I can’t call the police. I need the police and the school to leave.”

Lu Huai nodded and turned around to speak to the police. Soon, everyone at the scene left, leaving only him and Zhang Chao.

Pei Xin walked over and wanted to bow, but she was stopped by Lu Huai. “And then?”

What else was there to say? Pei Xin didn’t know what to say. Then, she would have to go to the waterfall. She knew that, but nothing came out of her mouth.

“The other party said that only you must go to a certain place and no one else can follow. Otherwise, you won’t be able to see your son, right?” Lu Huai sneered.

“How did you know?!” Pei Xin looked at him in disbelief. “That’s right.”

Lu Huai scoffed. “Only kids would watch such childish plots. Xu Lian’s IQhas always been on the lower end.”

No matter how smart Xu Lian was, Pei Xin still had to go and find her child. “CEO Lu, 1 can go alone. She might have eyes around. You can go back with Assistant Zhang first.”

She didn’t want to implicate anyone else. Although she had Lu Huai here, she was worried that Xu Lian would lose control and harm Ling Lin if she came with some company.

Lu Huai didn’t move. He just stared blankly at her.

Pei Xin bowed and quickly ran to Area Three. She knew that it was still under construction and might not even have workers. But for the sake of her son, she had to go.

“CEO Lu, should we go with her? Or stay?” Although Zhang Chao asked this question, he knew that Lu Huai would want to go with her.

Sure enough, Lu Huai gave him a sidelong glance. He immediately said, “Let’s follow her. I have her live location. Our people are here. They’ll find us if anything happens.”

Lu Huai shook his head and slowly followed behind Pei Xin.

He took out his phone and saw a small red dot moving on the map. He knew exactly where Pei Xin was.

Just now in the car, when Pei Xin wasn’t paying attention, he had already put the tracker in her pocket. Originally, these things were used by others to deal with Lu Huai. He did not expect that he would one day use these methods on Pei Xin.

The upstream of the waterfall in Area Three was not very far, but because it was not developed, the road leading to it was dangerous. Pei Xin’s arms and thighs were cut along the way, but she gritted her teeth and persevered.

Finally, she saw Ling Lin tied up on a tree at the edge of the waterfall.

“Ling Lin! Mommy is here. Don’t move.” Below them was the cliff of the waterfall. She was afraid that her son would slip and fall.

“D-don’t worry Mommy, I… 1 won’t move one bit! 1’11… Uh… Wait for you right here!” Ling Lin shouted back, trying to suppress his fear.

How could Pei Xin stand to see her child like that? She quickly walked over to untie her son, but someone held her by her waist.

“CEO Lu?” She turned around and saw Lu Huai frowning again.

Lu Huai did not let go. Instead, he pointed at Ling Lin’s position with his chin. “The surrounding area has been excavated. If you go over, you might fall with Lin Lin.”

Seeing that Pei Xin’s emotions stabilized, Lu Huai let go of her and took off his coat and belt.

Zhang Chao immediately understood what he meant and unbuckled his belt as well. “It’s too dangerous. Why don’t I go?”

“I’ll go.” Lu Huai tied the belts together. Pei Xin understood what he meant and immediately untied her belt; it was just enough to reach the tree.

Lu Huai took out the penknife he brought from the car and walked over carefully.

He walked up to Ling Lin and didn’t say anything. He quickly cut the rope and held the child in his arms.

The next moment, the stone under his feet could no longer withstand the weight and immediately crumbled..
