Chapter 086: Kowtow to apologize

"I don't like eating the food sent by the hotel." She pointed at her lips, looking like she wanted to make things difficult for him.

Lu Xiangdong crossed his arms in front of his chest, waiting to see what tricks she was playing.

"Let's go out and eat." She didn't have to work now anyway. She had plenty of time to eat, drink, and have fun.

Lu Xiangdong glanced at her. She wouldn't change her mind, she was a foodie.

Su Mianmian felt a little uncomfortable being stared at. "Do you have a problem with that?"

"Let's eat something light." Last night was the first time in his life that he had drunk so much. He still felt dizzy.

She didn't mind what they ate so long as she could fill her stomach.

They packed up and were about to go out for breakfast when Lu Xiangdong's phone suddenly vibrated. Lu Xiangdong turned around to retrieve his phone. It was his assistant.

Usually, his assistant would not disturb him when he was on a business trip. His assistant must have made this call for something very important.

Su Mianmian glanced at him. His life as a CEO was so different, compared to when he was a pilot. He received a lot of calls every day.

She leaned against the door and endured a pain in her stomach. She waited for him to finish the call before going out.

After Lu Xiangdong finished the call, his expression changed.

"Go back to the mainland immediately. Bring your things." He looked rushed. He picked up his briefcase and looked at the watch on his wrist.

Su Mianmian's eyes widened. "You didn't even eat breakfast. Why are you in such a hurry to leave? What happened?"

"We can eat on the plane." There wasn't much time left. He had to rush back to save her.

"But-"

"There's no but."

Su Mianmian didn't understand what had happened. He looked very anxious. Was there a problem with the company?

"Don't just stand there. Go and pick up your luggage immediately. I'll wait for you downstairs." He said this and quickly walked to the door. He opened the door and went out.

Su Mianmian was stunned. She didn't quite understand the situation, but she still obediently went back to her room to pick up her things

When she went downstairs, a Land Rover had stopped at the hotel entrance. She carried her suitcase to the trunk. He got out of the car to help her. He patted her shoulder and shouted, "Hurry up."

"Lu Xiangdong, why are you in such a hurry?"

"To save people."

Save people? Save who?

Su Mianmian quickly got into the car and buckled her seatbelt. "Save who?"

"Lu Wenzhong."

What Su Mianmian thought that he must be joking.

"Tell me clearly, why are you saving Chairman Lu?"

Lu Xiangdong told her not to speak for now. He needed to think quietly.

The assistant had made it very clear on the phone that Lu Wenzhong's car had been tampered with. When his car reached the city center, the brakes suddenly failed. Lu Wenzhong's car killed one person and injured two others. The situation was very serious.

Although he had not witnessed the event, he believed that the matter was not that simple. The mastermind behind this matter must be the Li father and son.

Su Mianmian looked at his solemn face and knew the matter must be very serious. It was better for her not to disturb him and let him sort out his thoughts properly.

As they drove to the airport, their plane took off. If they wanted to return to the mainland, they would have to wait for the eleven o'clock flight. Lu Xiangdong's brows furrowed. He had looked at his watch countless times.

Su Mianmian pursed her lips. She had rushed here in such a hurry, but she had not been able to board the plane.

"Lu Xiangdong, the eleven o'clock flight is now at nine-fourty. We can use this hour to go for breakfast."

Even if she hadn't said this, Lu Xiangdong would have wanted to. He was a little hungry.

"Just find a place to eat."

She nodded.

They hadn't expected encountering a riot at the place where they were eating. A table in the restaurant was overturned by some of the rioters! All the customers in the restaurant were driven to a corner because of this. The rioters held knives and sticks in their hands. Everyone was so afraid, that the customers and the restaurant's staff all hugged.

Su Mianmian and Lu Xiangdong, who weren't aware of this, were blocked by a few strong men at the entrance of the restaurant.

Although Su Mianmian was usually sharp-tongued, when faced with the knife in the man's hand, she suddenly felt her legs go weak.

The knife suddenly moved away from her neck and pressed against Lu Xiangdong's neck. "If you don't want to die, go to the corner of the wall."

Lu Xiangdong's expression did not change as the corners of his lips curled up.

Su Mianmian felt her mind go numb. She tugged at the corner of Lu Xiangdong's shirt. Their lives were more important than eating. She couldn't even eat now if she wanted.

Lu Xiangdong was thinking about how many people he could kill with his bare hands. If Su Mianmian wasn't beside him, he would totally do it. But now, he had to take Su Mianmian into consideration. Now was not the time to be impulsive. He would first observe the situation before making a decision.

The man gave them a look, indicating for them to go to the corner and squat.

"Boss, these two people are not Vietnamese," one of them stepped forward and said.

The man in charge glanced at them and said to the other person, "Search their bodies for anything valuable. Take it all out."

"Yes, boss." The other person walked towards them with an evil smile on his face. He pointed his knife at Su Mianmian, poked his own nose, and said in a threatening tone, "Bitch, hand over all your valuable things and I'll leave your body intact. Otherwise... look at the brothers behind me, they are all hungry."

Su Mianmian threw her most valuable cell phone out. "Here, this is my most valuable item. Take it."

The man looked at Lu Xiangdong. "What about you? Take out all of them."

Lu Xiangdong was not stupid enough to go head-to-head with this group of people. He took out a wallet from his trouser pocket and took out his ID card. He threw the card and a few RMB bills to the other party.

The other party saw that it was RMB and shouted, "F*ck, why are you giving me something I can't understand? Can your card be used in Vietnam?"

Lu Xiangdong really wanted to call him stupid.

"These are the most valuable things I have on me." He wasn't lying. He had put his phone in the car.

The man picked up the stack of cards and RMB and walked to the man in the lead. He smiled foolishly and said, "Boss, these are the things that were found on their bodies. Please take a look."

The man in charge folded the cards into two pieces. He tore the money into pieces and threw them onto the faces of his subordinates.

"Enough, stop talking nonsense. Send all these people to the gates of hell."

Su Mianmian's forehead was drenched in a cold sweat. If she had known this earlier, she wouldn't have eaten breakfast. Did these people still have any humanity?

Lu Xiangdong gave her a look. That look was clearly saying, "Later, you'll take advantage of the chaos to escape and wait for me at the airport."

Su Mianmian looked at him worriedly. What did he want to do?

Before she could react, Lu Xiangdong grabbed the neck of a rioter from behind. He used his elbow, and the rioter's neck made a cracking sound. He snatched the stick from the rioter's hand and lifted the table beside him, crushing two rioters. The guests took thi opportunity to rush over and start fighting with the rioters. Lu Xiangdong saw that she was still standing there in a daze. He grabbed her arm and shouted, "Aren't you leaving yet?"

Su Mianmian trembled. She grabbed his arm and ran with him to the entrance of the restaurant. Suddenly, a gunshot came from behind, scaring Su Mianmian. She turned around and saw that a person had died in front of them. The guest had been shot in the head and died on the spot.

Lu Xiangdong quickly covered her eyes and said solemnly, "Hurry up and leave."

Su Mianmian swallowed nervously. The corner of her lips trembled as she was forcefully dragged away by him.

When they returned to the airport, Su Mianmian fell onto a chair next to her. She was a little dazed. She covered her face with both hands and her body trembled uncontrollably. Although she was out of danger, she couldn't forget the bloody scene, and she couldn't get it out of her mind.

"It's alright now." He squatted down and stood in front of her. He reached out and patted her head.

This was not something he had expected. Someone had fallen behind Su Mianmian. She'd seen their tragic death. It was indeed a bloody scene.

Su Mianmian looked up at him. She sniffed hard and shook her head. "I'm alright now. I'll go back to the country first."

"Are you sure you're alright? Why don't you rest for a while?" It was already so late, there was no need to be in a hurry.

"Okay." After seeing what she had, she had lost her appetite.

Lu Xiangdong looked at his watch. It was time to board the plane.

"Alright, let's go!" He stood up and said.

Su Mianmian sorted out her emotions and followed him.

Lu Wenzhong had arranged to recuperate in the inpatient department. His assistant came to report.

"Chairman, the president is already on his way back to China."

"Is there anything else?"

The assistant lowered his head and said, "The family of the deceased have hung a banner outside the hospital entrance, saying that they want to seek justice for the deceased."

Lu Wenzhong frowned and said unhappily, "Take the money and send them away. Don't let them do anything harmful to the company."

The assistant was extremely embarrassed. He had done that a long time ago, but the family of the deceased refused to compromise. They said that they wanted the chairman to personally apologize. How could he say such a thing?

Lu Wenzhong was very unhappy when he saw the assistant stutter.

"If you have something to say, just say it. Don't hide it."

"The family of the deceased are not willing to accept the compensation. They want you to personally apologize."

The assistant felt his entire body stiffen when he saw that the chairman's expression. It was comparable to the bottom of a pot.
