Chapter 430 I’ll Wait for You
Ruby pursed the corners of her lips and did not say anything immediately.
On the other end, Levi waited, seeing that she did not respond, only the sound of light breathing, the curve of his mouth gradually converged.
As if by telepathy, he immediately sensed that something was wrong, his face straightened and he asked, “What’s wrong?”
Ruby’s nerves, which had been tense all day, felt like a broken one at the moment she heard his voice, and exhaustion came over her all at once.
She had never been a weak person and no difficulties had ever tripped her up.
But for some reason, in front of Levi, she felt tired for the first time in her life, wanting to rely on him, wanting him to be there for her.
With this in mind, she lightly bit the corner of her lips and finally opened her mouth at the sound of Levi’s gentle and patient urging, “Levi, can you come to the capital?”
Her voice sounded no different from normal.
But even through the earpiece and the distance, Levi could instantly hear the hint of vulnerability hidden in her words.
“Sure.” Without thinking, he replied straight away, giving her complete peace of mind, “I’ll pack my things and go over there now.”
When he finished, he put her on speakerphone and talked to her while he gathered his things.
“What’s going on? Can you tell me in advance?”
On this side, Ruby was silent and told him what had happened, “Wyon sent someone to kidnap Olivia.”
The moment these words were spoken, Levi’s movements stopped abruptly, his face sinking in an instant.
“Kidnap? What’s going on?”
Ruby raised her hand to rub her brow and spoke briefly, “Right now Olivia should be in a building in the northern suburbs of the capital, I need to go over there.”
At these words, Levi gritted his teeth, his face hardened with both anger and worry.
“You’re going now? Wait until I arrive at the capital and I will accompany you. Since Wyon wants to use Olivia to threaten you, he surely won’t dare to do anything to Olivia.”All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
Ruby refused, “No, I’m still not sure, although Wyon shouldn’t be foolish enough to make a move on Olivia, as long as Olivia is in someone else’s hands for a minute, the danger is more, I can’t take that risk.”
“But you’re going by yourself ……”
“Don’t worry, Josie will send someone to follow, I won’t be stupid enough to go and get killed, besides, I still have you. You don’t have to come to Jin Yuan, just go straight to the building in the northern suburbs, I’ll wait for you.”
The hand hanging at his side was clenched into a fist as Levi gritted his teeth in silence.
But she had said so, and Levi understood her fears, so in the end he could only compromise.
“Well, then you must be careful and wait for me.”
“Okay.”
After hanging up the phone, Ruby did not delay any longer, checked the map and then turned straight away to leave.
Unsure, Josie followed her all the way out the door and watched her get into the car.
“Miss, you must protect yourself, I will arrive immediately with my men!”
“Well, don’t worry.”
With the sound of her voice, she raised the window, started the engine and stepped on the accelerator, and the car sped off like an arrow off the string.
……
Sea City.
Ralph was surprised when he got the news: “That kid really left the city?”
The assistant nodded, “That’s right, he has only just left town, it’s supposed to be going to the capital.”
At these words, Ralph narrowed his eyes in thought.
It seemed that that Benjamin must have moved something in the capital.
He remembered that Ruby was now in the capital and had a rough guess.
And Benjamin’s exhortations had long since fallen on deaf ears to him and were not even taken to heart.
How good an opportunity was it for Levi to leave Sea City?
He must take advantage of this great opportunity in Levi’s absence to reclaim the the Finn Group that belonged to him!
……
It was almost an hour later that Ruby finally arrived at the northern outskirts of the capital and found the very dilapidated building.
As she got out of the car, she took a closer look at her surroundings and saw that the place could be described as “deserted”.
There was not even a single person around, let alone a car.
At that moment, she collected her mind and directed her gaze towards the building ahead.
There are a few strong men guarding the entrance to this gloomy, rotting building, and a little yellow light was coming from the concrete frame without doors or windows.
Olivia should be inside.
With this in mind, a bitter chill crossed her clear eyes, her back straightened, she took a step and walked calmly past.
By this time, the burly men guarding the door had also noticed her, and immediately reached out to block her as she approached.
At this, Ruby smiled coldly, her eyes without a trace of temperature looking coolly at the strong man who was stopping her.
“What? Didn’t your master inform you that I was coming? Are you so blind that you don’t recognize me so soon?”
She remembered clearly that these were the same people who had twice broken into her house.
The man was scolded by her, his face was a bit unpleasant, and he said impatiently with a tense face, “What kind of place do you think this is? Do you think you can just enter?”
“Oh?” Ruby laughed, as if she had heard some funny joke, “Jin Yuan isn’t a place you can enter whenever you want, but you still barged in?”
As the tone fell, her face went cold and she raised her hand and slashed up with her palm, “Get out of the way!”
The man was unsuspecting and did not expect her to strike right away. He was hit solidly and the back of his neck went numb and he passed out.
The rest of the group froze at the sight, then all stood at attention and gathered in unison to surround her.
Ruby was not the least bit afraid and looked at these people with cold eyes: “What? You let me come, but you won’t let me in? Then what does your master want? Fool me? I don’t have that much patience!”
Just then, a voice came from inside, “Let her in.”
Several people heard it, and only then did they regain the way.
Ruby’s expression remained unchanged, her face calm and collected as she walked in and, not surprisingly, saw Wyon inside.
Her eyes lingered on him for just a moment before she glanced around.
There was nothing more than four concrete walls, the floor inside was covered in dust, the corners were littered with discarded building materials and the only source of light was an electric wire lamp hanging down from the top, which was currently emitting a hazy yellow light, the bulb being shrouded in dust, making it appear even more dimly lit.
She saw that there was an uncovered concrete step in the north-west corner leading to the second floor platform.
There was no cover on that platform, and her eyes followed it upwards, and at a glance she saw Olivia, bound hand and foot, looking at her with a helpless face.
The little girl’s mouth was taped with black tape and her eyes were filled with tears, but she was holding back tears.
And by her side, two strong men, one left and one right, guarded her.
