Chapter 949: Where Is Lu Chengzhou?

Old Master Shen thought nothing of it though. “Well, Arctic Fox is paid to work for us. What’s wrong with doing us a small favor when her annual salary is so high?”

Shen Xie frowned.

Shadow League isn’t hard up for money. Even if Arctic Fox really wants money, plenty of people are more than willing to offer it to them.

Not wanting to argue with his son, Old Master Shen gently said, “How could I let this hard-to-come-by chance go just like that?”

Shen Xie said nothing in response.

“The Shen family will eventually be yours. I’m just doing this for the sake of your future.” Old Master Shen sighed. “Go contact Arctic Fox and see if you can arrange a meet-up.”

Shen Xie did not know much about Arctic Fox, but from the way Shadow League operated, he could tell that the latter had quite a temper. His relations.h.i.+p with Arctic Fox over the years was considered pretty good and the latter would occasionally help him out if they were free. However, anyone could guess what his motive was if he contacted Shadow League right after his family entered Jijing Island. “Aren’t you afraid of offending Shadow League?”

Old Master Shen scoffed and pointed to the ground. “This is Jijing Island. Not everyone is qualified to enter this place. We only managed to get this chance with much difficulty. Doesn’t the Shadow League want to be affiliated with Jijing Island?”

He did not believe that anyone would refuse the olive branch offered by Jijing Island.

Knowing that it was too late to say anything else, Shen Xie acquiesced and took out his phone. “I’ll try.”

He clicked into the software that he usually used to contact Arctic Fox and typed, [Hey, is it convenient to meet?] After hesitating for some time, he pursed his lips in determination and clicked the ‘Send’ b.u.t.ton.

Meanwhile, at Red Flame.

Lin Shuang, who was curious about Red Flame as well as Lu Chengzhou’s condition, took up He Yidu’s tempting offer to visit Red Flame because she had nothing to do anyway.

However, she regretted her decision as soon as she reached the base. It turned out that Red Flame was no different than Shadow League. Both were based in the depths of remote forests. She felt let down and found the base utterly boring compared to the bustling cities. She could at least shop, go bar-hopping, go for a ride, and eat plenty of good food in the city.

It was quite windy and cold at night.

Lin Shuang wrapped her clothes tightly around herself and swept away the hair that had been blown to her face. As the ground was a little soft and muddy from the earlier rain, she stood on a stone and looked at He Yidu and Qin Fang. “May I know what welcome activities you have in store for tonight?”

He Yidu shoved a hand into his pocket. “Barbecue, hotpot, mahjong, and poker. Take your pick.”

“Hotpot, I guess. It’s a little cold,” replied Lin Shuang.

Seeing that she was s.h.i.+vering in the wind, He Yidu removed his jacket and tossed it to her. “Put it on.”

Lin Shuang did not stand on ceremony with him and put on the jacket straight away. It still held hints of warmth from He Yidu’s body.

Although Lu Yī and the others suspected that something was going on between them, they did not say anything when they saw this scene. The group then turned around to walk deeper into the forest, but just as they did so, they heard the sound of an approaching helicopter.

Who is it at this time?

He Yidu and Qin Fang exchanged a look before turning their heads back to take a look.

The helicopter slowly landed on a nearby open s.p.a.ce. The hatch opened and out walked Lu Zhan and Lu Wu, much to He Yidu and Qin Fang’s surprise.

“What prompted this sudden visit, Uncle Lu? We didn’t receive news that you were coming.” As Qin Fang spoke, he realized that Lu Zhan must have come to see his son. His heart leapt into his mouth.

He Yidu realized it as well, but it was not the time to care about that right now.

While both of them immediately went up to Lu Zhan and greeted him as Uncle Lu, Lu Yī, and the others saluted. “Commander Lu.”

Lin Shuang, who had some impression of Lu Zhan as she had investigated the Lu family before, politely greeted him as well.

Lu Zhan nodded. The sight of the large group made him take a second look at them. “Did you just return from outside?”

“Yes.” He Yidu gave a short answer. “What brought you here all of a sudden though?”

It was not often that Lu Zhan came to Red Flame.

“Where’s Lu Chengzhou? I’m looking for him.”

When He Yidu and Qin Fang heard Lu Zhan call Lu Chengzhou by his full name, they instantly realized that something bad must have happened and they prayed hard that it was not because Lu Zhan realized that his son had run off to Jijing Island.

However, as soon as that the thought appeared in their heads, they shot down the idea.

That can’t be it. If Uncle Lu knew that Brother Cheng was on Jijing Island, he wouldn’t have come to Red Flame. He looks like he’s here to scold Brother Cheng…
