Chapter 167 - 164 Fleeing the Country; Coming After You for a Debt to the Life

Chapter 167: Chapter 164 Fleeing the Country; Coming After You for a Debt to the Life

Qin Zhao’s method was to use a truth-telling charm or Puppetry Technique to make Lu Zhiheng confess on his own. That way, he could be sentenced without the need for evidence.

But they couldn’t find Lu Zhiheng anywhere!

After extensive investigation, they discovered that the guy had already left the country. The day before the Lu Family banquet, Lu Zhiheng had gone overseas.

From the flight information at Imperial Airport, the Criminal Police Team found the flight Lu Zhiheng took to leave for a small, unnamed country in Europe.

If he arrived in that country and then traveled somewhere else, they would never be able to find him.

Seeing the flight information on the desk, everyone felt a deep sense of helplessness.

"I’ll give Lu Tingming a call and ask about his son’s situation."

Huo Xun thought for a moment and decided to probe Lu Tingming’s intentions.

The phone was quickly answered, and Huo Xun turned on the speaker.

"Mr. Lu, sorry to bother you again. The suspect’s testimony mentioned your eldest son, Lu Zhiheng, who seems to be involved in the Gong Lexin case. We currently can’t get in touch with Lu Zhiheng; could you please help us contact him?"

The suspect, Zhao Kang, hadn’t mentioned Lu Zhiheng at all—Huo Xun was deceiving Lu Tingming.

"I can’t reach him either at the moment," Lu Tingming said helplessly. "After Zhixing won the award, our whole family was delighted. His brother wanted to take him on a world tour, and they just left recently. They might have gone to some remote country with poor signal. If I manage to contact the two of them, I’ll let you know right away."

Huo Xun clenched his teeth, "Okay, that would be great. Thanks, Mr. Lu."

After hanging up the phone, everyone’s faces were grim.

"He’s clearly escaping on purpose!"

"Did they already know something was going to happen, so they had Lu Zhiheng leave early?"

Qin Zhao had not expected this outcome and rubbed his temples in irritation.

At that moment, a female police officer hurried over.

"Captain, Gong Lexin has disappeared."

"What?!"

Huo Xun and his team went to the rest area where Gong Lexin had been staying.

"Has she been in here the whole time, without leaving?"

"Yes, the rest area has a bathroom, and we deliver her meals to her every day. I can assure you, she hasn’t left this room."

At the entrance to the rest area, two officers were guarding at all times. The window was also very small, secured with iron bars, preventing even a child from climbing out.

Huo Xun couldn’t help but worry, "Since we can’t bring Lu Zhiheng to justice, could she do something more extreme?"

Everyone’s expressions turned serious again as Qin Zhao walked into the rest area.

She looked at the items in the rest area, which should all have been used by Gong Lexin.

So, Qin Zhao let the Hellhound out of the Contract Space, had it sniff the items Gong Lexin had used, and asked the Hellhound to help find where Gong Lexin had gone.

A few minutes later, the Hellhound ran towards the outside of the police station.

Qin Zhao said to the others, "I have something to take care of first."

She followed the direction in which the Hellhound had run off.

The creature ran unbelievably fast, even faster than driving a car.

Luckily, ordinary people couldn’t see it, or it would certainly have caused a sensation.

Qin Zhao caught a taxi and finally caught up with the Hellhound, only to find that it was running towards the Lu Family mansion.

Gong Lexin went to the Lu Family’s home?

Was she seeking vengeance on her own? But Lu Zhiheng wasn’t in the country.

With many doubts in her mind, Qin Zhao quickly made her way to the vicinity of the Lu Family mansion.

-

Not long ago at the Lu Family home, Lu Tingming was in his study.

He had just finished Huo Xun’s call when two items were placed on his desk.

There was a letter and a string of ancient Copper Coins.

The Copper Coins were covered with rust, and a few strands of dark red color clung to them, resembling dried bloodstains.

A red rope was threaded through the Copper Coins, allowing one to wear the string of coins around their neck.

Lu Tingming had been carrying these Copper Coins with him for the past few days and now hung them around his neck, tucking them into his shirt collar.

The letter on the desk had been brought to him by someone sent by a reclusive master.

The content of the letter was simple, stating that Zhiheng would face imprisonment soon and advising that the further he traveled to avoid misfortune, the better.

As for Lu Tingming himself, he was predicted to suffer a grave misfortune involving blood, which the Copper Coins could resolve.

Lu Tingming had been wanting this master to come and reevaluate the feng shui of his home.

But the people he sent could not find the master.

He had thought the search was fruitless, but then the master had someone deliver these two items.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Tingming took out his spare phone and called Lu Zhiheng, who was across the ocean.

"How are you and your brother enjoying yourselves?"

"It’s quite nice, but why did you suddenly send us on a trip? Aren’t you still hosting a banquet at home? You said it was to celebrate for the little brother, but what’s there to celebrate without us?"

Lu Tingming said with a complex expression, "Indeed, I shouldn’t have held the banquet."

According to his plan, both his sons would have attended the banquet.

However, on the day before the banquet, he received the master’s letter.

Initially, he was a bit skeptical, but considering the master’s abilities, he hastily sent both his sons away.

"Have the matters with Gong Lexin been dealt with? Those police are so useless. She’s just a celebrity, after all; what do her life and death have to do with the Lu Family?"

Lu Zhiheng scoffed, "Even if we did kill her, what could they do about it?"

"That’s enough, when you come back, let’s not talk of these matters again."

Lu Tingming gave him a warning, "For the time being, you and your brother just enjoy yourselves outside."

Because of the incident with the land in the western part of the city, Zhiheng had been stripped of his position.

With many troubles stirring, Lu Tingming felt it was better for the two brothers to stay outside for a while; after all, he still had Chu Yan to help him with matters.

Lu Tingming hung up the phone, put away the envelope, and prepared to leave the study.

Just as he approached the door, suddenly, he felt someone pat his back.

There was no one else in the study; who could be patting him from behind?

Lu Tingming’s pupils shrank, and recalling his last ghostly encounter, his whole body tensed up.

He took a deep breath, wondering if he had mistaken the sensation?

Lu Tingming’s hand was tightly pressing on the doorknob.

He didn’t dare to look back and planned to burst out as soon as the door opened.

Click, click.

Lu Tingming kept pressing down on the doorknob, but the door to the study wouldn’t open!

At that moment, the person behind him patted him again.

Accompanied by a chilling laugh, "Lu Tingming, since your son has run away, then you’ll have to pay his debts for him!"

A strong scent of blood wafted over, as if a large basin of fresh blood had been poured over Lu Tingming from behind,

Drenching him, and the door of the study, in blood.

He turned his head to look, his eyes bulging and pupils trembling.

"You, what are you?"

"Something that has come to claim your life!"

The person behind him was a woman in white, slender, pale, with a sinister smile.

This woman was none other than Gong Lexin, who had escaped from the police station.

But what was most eerie was not her smile, but—
