The Rescue

************

"Boss, it seems Ms Mei Xing has been abducted."

For a moment, Lu Aotian's world seemed to pause. His grip on the pen tightened and his knuckles turned white. "What did you just say?" He demanded, his voice dangerously low.

"She was at a construction site inspecting the progress when she and the bodyguards were attacked. They used poisonous darts to incapacitate them and took her away in a black van," Chen Wei explained.

"We've confirmed this information from one of her bodyguards who still had a bit of consciousness left in him. I'm sorry, sir."

A deadly calm settled over Lu Aotian as he rose from his chair. "How long ago did this happen?"

"Approximately ten minutes ago," Chen Wei replied. "We've already mobilized our teams to gather more intelligence and track down the vehicle."

Lu Aotian gritted his teeth as he raked a hand through his blonde hair. Why did bad things keep happening to Mei Xing?
