Chapter 1238 - 740: Promise
"Miss Luo... Miss Luo... Miss Luo..."
Liu Yulong, stooping low, called out repeatedly, remembering the movies where policemen would move forward, dodging obstacles for cover, so he mimicked them, jumping from place to place.
After fifteen minutes, he hadn’t found anyone, yet he was exhausted, wrinkling his nose and panting heavily through his open mouth, his heart full of worry. He had almost searched through the factory, could it be... something had happened?
Thinking this, he didn’t bother resting and continued crawling inch by inch forward, finally fixing his gaze on several tightly closed doors.
He had delivered goods to this factory before, and he knew that behind these small doors were stored motors, which had already been moved out. Could it be Miss Luo accidentally got locked inside?
"Miss Luo, are you inside?"
He knocked on each door, pressing his ear against them to listen carefully. After a round, still getting nowhere, he turned and walked out.
"Brother, how’s it going?" Liu Yumei, who had been eagerly watching from outside, rushed over, her eyes sparkling in the dim light—participating in such a thrilling event for the first time, she was exhilarated.
"I’ve searched everywhere, no one was found. There’s an iron bar on the car, I’ll use it to pry open the door of the motor storage room, that’s the only place left to check." Liu Yulong replied gloomily.
"Brother..." Liu Yumei wrinkled her nose, her mouth quivered, with a hint of tears, "Are you saying Luoluo might be..."
"Meimei, I’ll park the car with the front facing that way, if something sounds wrong inside, you drive away and tell your sister-in-law I let her down." Liu Yulong said as he got in the car and started it up.
Liu Yumei quickly followed: "Brother, you don’t really know Luoluo; doing this..." She paused then continued, "I’m saying this not to stop you from rescuing Luoluo, but because I feel I caused you trouble. Brother, I’m not married yet, I don’t have many concerns, you stay back, I’ll go save Luoluo."
"What nonsense! Aren’t Uncle and Aunt your concerns?" Liu Yulong glared at his sister, "This isn’t something a girl can do. Brother hasn’t done anything big in his life, maybe this time I can make a difference, bring fame to us Lius. We’ve never had anyone famous in our family."
"Brother..." Liu Yumei looked at her cousin with a complex expression, not knowing what to say. Despite his usual small scheming and selfishness, he was definitely showing his manliness at this moment.
"Meimei, don’t say anymore. In such situations, if you don’t step up, you’ll regret it for the rest of your life. Luoluo looks like a good-hearted kid, if something happened..." Liu Yulong sighed heavily, "I bet her family treasures her dearly, alas."
"Brother, you’re rambling. Actually, things may not be as we imagined. Perhaps you and Luoluo simply took different paths." Liu Yumei’s voice wavered, aware that in such a confined factory space, the chance of not meeting was virtually non-existent.
"To be honest, I’m scared too." Liu Yulong laughed sheepishly, "But thinking I might get the chance to be a hero, I feel excited."
"Brother, go ahead, stop comforting me." Liu Yumei hugged him tightly, patting him, "I’ll wait for you to come back, to bring Luoluo back with you."
"Okay." Liu Yulong responded and turned around but suddenly froze, at the factory door was the straight, charming figure they had been worried about—Luo Ye?
The weather was still dark, making it difficult to see her expression, but standing so firmly indicated she was fine, "Girl, are you okay?"
"Luoluo..."
The siblings almost simultaneously asked.
"I’m alright." Luo Ye’s voice was slightly hoarse, reaching the two, she stretched out her arms to hug them: "Thank you!"
Liu Yumei exhaled deeply: "It’s good you’re okay, you had us worried sick. By the way, Luoluo, brother couldn’t find you earlier, where were you?"
"There’s a dark passage in the factory, I went down there." Luo Ye didn’t hide from them, at this point, after seeing their actions firsthand, she couldn’t conceal anything from them.
It would be false to say she wasn’t moved; she dared to go down because after prying open Daoter’s mouth, she was completely sure of Li Dazhu’s authenticity, so even if the other escaped, it didn’t matter.
Though she had already verified the Liu siblings were good people, she truly hadn’t expected them to act the way they did in such a crucial moment.
