"In the afternoon, the leader of Lin Group gave you his business card and asked you to meet him privately."
Soyeon's words instantly enlightened Lisa and she understood Soyeon's concerns.
"Sister Xu, do you really think I'm that kind of person?" Lisa asked with a frown. She did not expect sister Xu to suspect her like this. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Soyeon did not say anything. She wanted to trust Lisa. However, the betrayal that she had experienced before made her have trust issues. She did not want to win the project by cheating. She also did not want Lisa to do immoral things just to get what she wanted.
Lisa said sternly, "Sister Xu, I'm just going to meet someone I know tonight, not the leader of Lin Group. Of course I won't do such a stupid thing."
"I'll go with you."
Soyeon's request was a little unreasonable, but she could not take any chances.
"I'm sorry, sister Xu. This is my personal matter. I can't let you go with me."
From what Eunbi said, it seemed like what she wanted to tell her was private, so she couldn't let a third person hear it.
After being rejected, Soyeon looked at Lisa for a while without saying anything. She turned around and left.
Lisa felt a little uncomfortable. Whether it was her mother's matter or Soyeon's suspicions, they both made her feel as if a huge weight was pressing down on her heart. It felt like something bad was about to happen.
...
After leaving the Lin Group building, Lisa headed straight for the Grand Court that Eunbi had mentioned. The sky gradually became gloomy. It was about to start raining.
Sitting in the taxi, Lisa looked at the hurried pedestrians. She suddenly recollected about her childhood. At that time, she had a perfect family, an amiable father, a kind mother, and a cute younger brother. She lived a happy life.
However, everything changed when her father brought Chang Lu home two years ago.
Her father drove them out of the villa, leaving only a fifty-square-meter old house for the three of them to live in.
At that time, she and her younger brother were still studying, so their mother had to work hard to support them.
Living that way was already difficult, but God was still not merciful. Her mother's health deteriorated, and Lisa had to work to earn her living expenses, her mother's hospital fees, and her brother's tuition fees.
Raindrops fell on the car window.
Lisa thought about everything that had changed since then. She no longer called Mo Dong her father, and she had also forgotten those happy times. No matter how happy she was in the past, everything that had happened since then smeared whatever happy memories she had left.
Her phone vibrated. It was a text message from Jungkook .
[Are you back at the hotel?]
Jungkook told her at noon that he would be staying at his friend's place in Jing City for the next two days.
Lisa was quite shock to hear that Jungkook had a friend in Jing city. Jungkook said that they were good friends who grew up together before his whole family moved to Jing City.
He said that when he came to Jing City, his friend specifically invited him, so he couldn't refuse. Lisa expressed her understanding, and also understood how Jungkook was able to give her recommendations of where to visit in Jing City.
Lisa thought for a moment, but she still didn't want to lie to Jungkook , so she replied: [Not yet, I'm meeting an acquaintance.]
After Lisa sent the message, Jungkook also received the location where Lisa's taxi stopped.
The reason why Jungkook asked Taehyung to help him take care of Lisa when he was abroad was because he was very busy overseas and could not pay attention to Lisa's every move in Jing City. By asking Taehyung to help him take care Lisa, he could get Taehyung to contact him if anything happened to Lisa.
However, what Jungkook didn't expect was that the Lin family would stop Taehyung's men from following Lisa. As a result, Taehyung and Jungkook didn't even know that Lisa had been kidnapped.
Grand Court Hotel? Jungkook thought for a while before confirming that this hotel was owned by the Jeon family.
"Get the car. I'm going to Grand Court Hotel."
Just as his men opened the door for Jungkook , he saw Taehyung and Du Jing outside.
"Jeon Justin, where are you going? I have something to tell you," Taehyung said first.
Du Jing looked at Jungkook and felt that there was something different about Jungkook today.
Jungkook frowned slightly and said to the two of them, "I'm going out for a while. Tell me when I get back."
"Wait! It's about your third uncle. Don't you want to know?"
Jungkook glanced at the two of them and said indifferently, "Follow me."
After getting into the car, Taehyung spoke again with a somewhat serious expression, "Your third uncle is on the move again. What are you going to do?"
