<h4>Chapter 1168: Their First Coboration (4)</h4>


    The reason had been that, after walking for six hours, Qiao Lian suddenlyined that she was hungry.


    He was hungry too, and had been for some time.


    But when he heard that she needed food, he walked to the side and called home.


    After that, the two families came in their cars to get them.


    As children that had initially ran away from home safely, they ended up going home with their tails between their legs.


    After that incident, he was never that stubborn again.


    “At the time, I vowed to myself that I’d be nothing but good to a girl who would run away from home with me.”


    After Lu Nanze slowly said this, he looked at Qiao Lian with a serious expression on his face. “Qiao Lian, do you know that when you suddenly left the Li family at the time, words could not describe my anxiety? I must have searched the entire Suzhou.”


    Later on, still at a young age, he had taken over the Lu Family enterprise. All so that he could have enough resources to search for her.


    She had apanied him when he ran away from home.


    So when she went missing, he had taken up the responsibility to find her.


    That had been their youth, and his persistence.


    But he had never thought that it would hurt her.


    He narrowed his eyes at this thought and his gaze fell on her.


    In the dark, her silhouette was still, as though she had fallen asleep.


    But Lu Nanze knew she wasn’t sleeping.


    <i>Qiao Lian, if you were hurt because of what I’ve done, then let me say now that I’m sorry</i>.


    –


    When Shen Liangchuan received the call from Lu Nanze, his expression immediately darkened and turned cold.


    He snorted coldly and made a call to Qiao Lian’s cell phone. However, he could not get through the line.


    Later on, he kept trying to call but the line was dead.


    He frowned, thinking that it must be Lu Nanze’s doing. Feeling helpless, he could only drive home slowly. However upon arriving at home, he found that Qiao Lian had not returned.


    He parked his car and frowned, puzzled.


    Half an hourter, he called a bodyguard who was keeping watch over Qiao Lian and asked, “Where are they?”


    “Sir, they’ve been in the underground parking and haven’te out of there.”


    Although she had a bodyguard team, they weren’t able to follow her too closely, otherwise they would be easily discovered.


    Since Qiao Lian and Lu Nanze were in the underground parking, they could only wait around there.


    But how could there still be no signs of them after two hours?


    Shen Liangchuan’s pupils shrank and he instructed them, “Go in and have a look.”


    “Roger.”


    Five minutester, they called Shen Liangchuan. “Mr. Shen, they’ve disappeared!”


    Shen Liangchuan sprang onto his feet and demanded, “What do you mean they’ve disappeared?”


    “Lu Nanze’s car is still there, but the two of them have disappeared! We went to the office and asked many people, but none of them saw the twoe back! They are not in the office either.”


    The moment Shen Liangchuan heard this, his first reaction was that Lu Nanze had kidnapped her.


    After all, it wasn’t as though it hadn’t happened before.


    He quickly said, “Hurry, go to all of Lu Nanze’s properties in Suzhou and check. See if there are signs that he’s been to any of them.”


    “Roger.”


    Shen Liangchuan paced back and forth in the study a few times and then he stopped.


    He had an odd premonition that something had happened to Qiao Lian.


    The next moment, he received a call saying, “Mr. Shen, we’ve just checked the basement surveince cameras and found- We found that Ms. Qiao and Lu Nanze were abducted by a group of men!”


    Upon hearing this, Shen Liangchuan shot up from his seat and headed out without even putting on his jacket. “Which way did the vehicle go? All of you,e with me!”
