Chapter 1096 - Searching For Him...
"Where is brother Feng," Noah asked An Tian.
An Tian looked at his wristwatch, "He must have arrived in the city by now."
"I hope he will be here early so he will handle the mess," Jake commented.
An Tian nodded as he felt the same.
An Tian pulled out his cell phone and dialed Lu Feng's number. The call went through, and An Tian asked, "Did you reach?"
"Heading towards the hotel," came the reply from another side of the line.
"Hurry up."
"What happened?"
"As usual, your brother has created an expected mess," An Tian replied.
"I'll be there shortly." Lu Feng hung up the call.
Lu Feng was busy with his things in the city S, so he could only arrive for the engagement on time.
-------
Mr. Wen sounded angry on the phone so Lu Jinhai asked "What happened ?"
"You should ask your son," Mr. Wen replied, his voice cold.
"Uncle, Liwei and Lu Lijun decided not to go with this engagement," Wen Zac replied, knowing his father would only show his anger.
"What?" Lu Jinahi exclaimed.
Ning Jiahui came there too, and so did the other family members who were ready to go to the ceremony hall.
"Yes, uncle. Lu Lijun is not here," said Wen Zac.
"He ran away, leaving my daughter to face everything alone," Mr. Wen said coldly.
"Father, calm down."
"Ran away?" Just then, elder Lu arrived there with his wife.
Mr. Wen couldn't show his anger to the elders as they were like parents to him and bowed to them lightly to let Wen Zac talk.
"Grandpa, we can't find Lu Lijun," said Wen Zac. "He talked with Liwei a while ago and left."
Mr. Wen wanted to say more, but the presence of the elders stopped him. Mr. Wen looked at Lu Jinhai, who looked shocked and guilty.
"Once you find your son, let me talk to him."
Lu Jinhai could only nod to it. He was sure, this time, his stubborn son had brought the trouble on himself. More than that, Lu Jinhai was apologetic to his friend.
Jiang Yuyan came out of her room as San Zemin informed her about how Lu Lijun left in the cab and which way he went.
Everyone looked at her. She bowed to Mr. Wen apologetically and then looked at Lu Jinhai, "I'm going to get him."
"I'll come with you," said Lu Han.
"No need. Just handle the things here and look after everyone," Jiang Yuyan instructed.
Though Lu Han felt worried for Lu Lijun, he could never go against Jiang Yuyan and agreed to what she said.
Once she left, Lu Jinhai looked at his friend, "I know an apology is not enough for what my son did, but still I apologize, and to make for it, I'll do whatever you ask me to."
Mr. Wen stood coldly, and Wen Zac spoke, "Uncle, all the guests have arrived. How should we handle it?"
Lu Jinhai looked at his friend, "We should inform them it's been canceled."
"Do we have any other choice?" Mr. Wen countered and looked at his son. "Handle it."
Mr. Wen looked at the elders and bowed to them before he left.
Lu Jinhai looked at Lu Han. Lu Han nodded lightly and left with Wen Zac.
"What did this kid do?" Lu Jinhai mumbled.
"You and your friend were the two who were in a hurry to bring this in front of him, so don't blame him now," Elder Lu spoke and warned coldly, "What was so hurry even before he could settle nicely here with his family. If you say anything to him, you will see me standing between you two.
Lu Jinhai knew his father was right. Even Lu Jinhai was not in a hurry, but when his friend Mr. Wen suggested it, Lu Jinhai thought it was a good thing, considering Lu Lijun's future, not to forget Liwei was a nice girl.
"I understand father," said Lu Jinhai.
"You forgot when I always said you should keep your business after your family. I am disappointed in you," Elder Lu added and left with his wife.
Lu Jinhai could only hear it all quietly.
"Where did he go?" Ning Jiahui asked, feeling worried and anxious.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. Yuyan will find him," Lu Chen consoled her.
------
Lu Feng arrived soon after and saw his family in the corridor of the respective hotel floor.
"Thank god you are here," said Lu Chen.
"Where is Lu Lijun?" Lu Feng asked.
"We don't know. Yuyan has gone to search for him," Lu Chen replied.
Lu Feng went to his uncle and aunt and said, "Don't worry. I'll search for him too."
An Tian, Jake, and Noah came out of the room as Lu Feng already informed them about his arrival.
Lu Jinhai looked at Lu Lijun's two friends, "Don't you know where he is?"
"We are sorry, chairman Lu but he didn't tell us either," replied Noah.
"Uncle, you all should go inside. No use in standing here," Lu Feng
An Tian went to Lu Feng as the two went away from everyone. Noah and Jake joined them.
"Yuyan went after him," said An Tian.
"What do you think might happen when they meet?" Lu Feng asked.
"What do you think?" An Tian countered. He knows Lu Feng could guess it.
"Wouldn't it be better?" Jake commented.
Noah looked at Jake, "It's not that easy. You don't know President Lu well."
"I should go before something happens," said Lu Feng.
"Don't stop him," said An Tian.
"I won't, but I need to be by their side, in case," said Lu Feng, and he left.
"Should we go too?" Jake asked.
"It's now their family matter, so better stay out of it," An Tian suggested.
"And President Lu wouldn't like it if we go there and see them in a chaotic condition," Noah added.
-------
Lu Feng dialed San Zemin's number.
"Where is Lu Lijun?"
"He went on the highway going to the north," San Zemin replied.
"Did he stop somewhere, any hotel?" Lu Feng asked.
"He stopped at the Lu Mansion for a while and left again. It's raining suddenly, and it's more on the north side, so our cameras can't track his exact location."
"North?" Lu Feng mumbled, thinking what's there in the north that he went there.
"He didn't even get his car which we could have easily tracked. He later changed the cab too," San Zemin added."
Lu Feng was still busy thinking about why Lu Lijun did it. If he wished to run away, why did he go to Lu mansion?"
Just then, San Zemin spoke, "I think the boss knows it. She went in the same direction. I think he went to..."
It clicked something in Lu Feng's mind, and he spoke, "Understood."
Lu Feng hung up the call and hurried to go there.
-------
Jiang Yuyan drove to the north highway as the heavy rain hindered her speed. Where she planned to follow Lu Lijun was about to take her hours to reach there. The heavy rain made it difficult to see even what was ahead at a closer distance.
Though it was dangerous and she had to cross the hilly area, she didn't give up because she was worried about Lu Lijun as well as her family and needed to clean up the mess that he had created.
She reached the place, her car making its way through the heavy rain, and stopped in front of the iron gate. It was the Lu Family's vacation home, which was similar to Lu Mansion, where Lu Lijun had spent his childhood, the worst days when he needed to be treated.
Getting out of the car, Jiang Yuyan entered the gate as the harsh rain continued to drench her. The mansion was silent and seemed like all the servants were busy sleeping.
Knowing where Lu Lijun would be, she straightway went to the Gazebo in the garden. As expected of her, Lu Lijun was there.
