Chapter 223: We have to
Lanni let out sigh after sigh as her thoughts ran wild. "Tomorrow is an important day and we definitely cannot afford to have any weakness. And Cheng Yu being held hostage by Li Xiyan is the greatest weakness we could ever have."
"What can we do?" Luna asked, and Lanni gave her a meaningful look. Luna felt chills down her spine. "No, no you do not mean that."
"We have to save her, Luna. Or who knows what Li Xiyan might do to her to get to us?"
"But we cannot even notify the police. We have no evidence that Li Xiyan kidnapped her." This time, it was Luna who was hesitant.
"Have you been possessed by me? Since when were you such a lawful citizen?" Lanni mocked with a scoff. "We are going to save her ourselves."
"That’s dangerous. If we get discovered, we will all be in danger." Luna warned. She was one who would take most risks without any hesitation so if she felt that something was dangerous, then it really was dangerous.
"But if we don’t try, the only one in danger would be Xiao Yu." Lanni urged.
Luna didn’t want to leave her friend in trouble either but... "But I really can’t leave the city. I would be in more trouble if I did."
Lanni sank into contemplation. They couldn’t just leave their friend, could they? There had to be a way. She could go to whichever city she had to because she was not under any restriction, but she needed Luna’s help. If only Cheng Yu was being held within the city... Lanni’s eyebrows knitted as she thought of something. That was right.
"We are not leaving the city." Luna looked at her quizzically, and she explained her hypothesis. "Li Xiyan knows that you would try to find Cheng Yu’s location by hacking. She might have dropped Xiao Yu’s phone in a fake location to mislead you."
"Now that you mention it, we did find that Xiao Yu booked a train ticket to leave the city but we don’t know if she actually boarded the train." Luna realized that they might have been fooled too. "Wait. But why did she appear in that location that Xiao Yu’s phone is?"
