Urban Ace Bodyguard

Chapter 1081 - 1148: The Terrifyingly Calm Kidnapper

Lin Mengru has been absent-minded all day today, her mind filled with the imposing figure of Lin Hai and that one phone call threatening to bankrupt someone.She really can't comprehend what kind of person Brother Lin is.

Usually, he seems carefree and likes to joke around, yet he's not a bad person, instead giving her a particularly close feeling.

But at the school gate, Brother Lin's presence gave off a faint aura of menace.

Just a fleeting glance at Brother Lin's cold eyes was enough to instill fear.

"What kind of person is Brother Lin really..." Lin Mengru suddenly recalled a moment at Huadu KTV.

His eyes back then at Huadu KTV were really similar.

"Mengru, what are you daydreaming about? Class is over." A female classmate patted Lin Mengru on the shoulder, interrupting her wandering thoughts.

"Oh, oh, nothing, just thinking about family matters." Lin Mengru suddenly realized she had been lost in thought for too long.

"Is your family having difficulties? Next month when my dad gives me allowance, I can lend you some." The female classmate said kindly.

"No, no need, thank you." Lin Mengru quickly thanked her.

It must be said, today's life still left her with a sense of happiness inside, and the dream of attending school was something Brother Lin helped to grant her.

Walking out of the classroom with her female classmate, Lin Mengru sweetly thought about graduating in the future and finding a good job, then properly repaying Brother Lin.

Before reaching the school gate, Lin Mengru noticed a black business car slowly approaching, and wondered in her heart: "How could the school allow vehicles to come in?"

As the business car swiftly passed Lin Mengru, suddenly someone yanked the door open, a rough hand rudely covering her mouth, and before she could react, forcefully pulled her weak little body into the car.

Bang!

The business car slammed its door shut and quickly left the campus.

And coincidentally, that stretch of road was a surveillance blind spot.

"Who are you!" Lin Mengru stared in horror at the five or six burly men inside the car, their expressions stern, eyes cold, skillfully binding her hands and feet, and no sooner had she finished speaking was her mouth also gagged.

Professional!

The method of these kidnappers was too professional.

Lin Mengru was extremely frightened inside, unsure of who she might have offended, knowing these expert kidnappers wouldn't randomly target a child from an ordinary family like hers.

"Could it be Caidong Group's chubby young master?" Lin Mengru quickly speculated in her heart, though she was trembling with fear, her intuition told her to stay calm and think.

The man sitting in the co-pilot seat, dressed in a black suit and wearing sunglasses, looked at Lin Mengru through the rearview mirror, speaking coldly: "Bring me her phone."

The two men flanking Mengru swiftly rummaged through her pockets, found the phone, and courteously handed it to the man in the co-pilot seat.

During this process, the two completely ignored Lin Mengru's female body, not making any inappropriate moves at all.

The man in the co-pilot casually flipped through the phone, frowned.

Because Lin Mengru's phone numbers aren't labeled with any names.

This habit was specifically taught to her by Lin Hai earlier; at that time, Brother Lin explained that if the phone gets lost, it's harder for relatives and friends to be scammed.

"Young girl, your phone contacts are quite professional." The man in the co-pilot finally spoke.

"Untie her mouth." The man ordered.

The cloth covering Lin Mengru's mouth was loosened.

"You... what do you want to do?" Lin Mengru asked fearfully.

"Among the people I've kidnapped, you're rather calm, considering your age, you're just a little girl." The man said nonchalantly, as if to her or muttering to himself.

After a pause, the man asked again: "Why doesn't your contacts list have names?"

"I... I'm afraid if the phone gets lost, someone could scam my family and friends." Lin Mengru knew this wasn't a time for games, especially since the man in the co-pilot gave her a feeling of being very calm and composed.

People like this are generally smart, and lying is easily seen through by them.

"You're quite honest." The man stared into Lin Mengru's eyes, observed for a few seconds, then nodded.

Seeing this action, Lin Mengru suddenly remembered some things Brother Lin had said to her.

"Professionals can tell if someone is lying just by looking at their pupils."

With this thought, Lin Mengru became even more curious as to why Brother Lin knew these things.

The man in the co-pilot interrupted her thoughts.

"Young lady, which number is Lin Hai's?"

Lin Mengru's heart skipped a beat.

"They're actually looking for Brother Lin!"

She hesitated, now familiar with the car's interior, knowing these kidnappers are each burly, each giving off a strong presence.

If they find Brother Lin... Brother Lin would surely be in danger.

With this thought, Lin Mengru closed her eyes, fearing her pupils would give away her lies, shook her head: "I don't have Brother Lin's number."

"Heh, young lady, do you know the consequences of deceiving me?" The man sneered.

Lin Mengru stubbornly bit her lip: "I really don't know Brother Lin's number."

"Why are you closing your eyes?" The man asked with interest.

"I... I'm scared, in the movies, it says seeing the kidnappers' real faces makes you likely to be silenced." Lin Mengru lied.

The man in the co-pilot chuckled: "You're afraid I'll see your pupils change when you lie, aren't you?"

Hearing this, Lin Mengru felt her heart sink, the opponent is too smart.

"But, do you think observing a person's pupils is the only way to tell if they're lying?"

The man smiled and continued: "Your heartbeat rate and breathing rhythm have clearly increased, especially when mentioning Lin Hai."

"In addition, your pulse also tells me that you're lying."

Hearing this, Lin Mengru's heart became even more tense, this... this person can even detect such subtleties, he's definitely a terrifying person.

"I can't tell, absolutely can't tell!" Lin Mengru bit her lip, determined.

Brother Lin has been so good to her, she must not bring harm to Brother Lin.

With this thought, Lin Mengru closed her eyes, clenched her teeth tightly.

"Do you think you'll fare better like this, or do you think I can't find Lin Hai's number?"

The man in the co-pilot gave a light laugh, took Lin Mengru's phone, and sent a mass text message: "Brother Lin, what good food for lunch?"

Lin Mengru watched in horror at the man's actions, inwardly shouting "Oh no."

Sure enough, several replies came quickly.

Some asked if Mengru had sent the message by mistake.

Some jokingly asked who Brother Lin is, whether she had a new boyfriend.

Ding-dong—

Another reply.

After reading the text message, the man in the co-pilot curved his lips into a confident smile: "Mengru, your Brother Lin specially made braised fish for lunch, prepared for you."

"This is bad!" Lin Mengru's heart instantly filled with tension.

She wanted to say something, but suddenly the man in the co-pilot struck quickly, hitting her neck.

Her vision darkened, Mengru lost consciousness.

After this, the man in the co-pilot nodded slightly: "Seems like the Family Head predicted correctly, this young girl in danger still thinks of Lin Hai, and Lin Hai's reply carries a sentiment of affection towards her, indicating she's a significant person to him."

Thinking for a moment, the man in the co-pilot dialed Lin Hai's number.

"Hello? Mengru, besides braised fish, what else do you want to eat?" Lin Hai's cheerful voice sounded.

The man sneered: "Hello Brother Lin, the young lady's braised fish can't be eaten."

"..."

On the phone, Lin Hai fell silent.

Then, his voice turned icy: "Is she safe now?"

"Safe, rest assured, before I see you, I guarantee she won't be dead." The man said with a smile.

"Then that's good, state your purpose!"

At this moment, Lin Hai stood in the kitchen of his rental house, holding a knife while making fish, now clutching the phone in one hand, unable to control the force in his hand, the sturdy knife was bent by his grip, showing his state of mind at this moment!
