A Vengeful Girl

Chapter 123 It’s a Pity She Survived

Upon hearing this, Bun paused her hand and trembled nervously. "What are you talking about, Master!

Please knock it off!"

"I mean it. Girls need to be romanced. I've been actively pursuing you lately, but he never said a word."

Bun lowered her head in resignation. He had a point.

"Our correspondent reports that the Young Lady of Mu Group was believed to be kidnapped early

yesterday morning..."

Robert Huo abruptly turned off the TV.

His brother, Adam was watching the news channel. Surprised, Adam asked, "What's wrong, Robert?"

"Too much TV is bad for your eyes." Robert said with a smile.

Adam had been watching TV since early morning, and only left the couch to eat lunch and use the

toilet.

He was already blind in one eye, so he needed to take care of the other. What if he also lost sight in his

other eye?

He could end up having a nervous breakdown.

The other reason that Robert turned off the TV was because of the news on the Mu Clan.

"Fine. But aren't you curious about the woman? The report wasn't done yet." Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Robert paused. "Adam..."

"It's fine, Robert. Talking about the Mu Clan isn't taboo for us. Didn't we used to play with Charles Mu?

It would be natural for us to know how he's doing lately." Adam smiled earnestly at him. His wide-eyed

look invited pity and affection.

Robert was touched. "You're a good kid. I'm glad you think so."

"By the way, how's the girl you like? Are you in touch with her?"

Robert shook his head and said, "No. She said she's already engaged... I'm a bit sad, but she agreed

to have a dinner with me after I finish the job in the company."

He had already taken over three subsidiaries of Huo Group since his return. His father wanted to

groom him.

"Don't waste your time waiting, Robert. She's only engaged, not married. Don't give up just yet. "

Speechless, Robert raised his head to look at Adam.

Though his advice made sense, he still couldn't bring himself to do it.

"When you were in college, you were too stubborn to accept our parents' arrangement and went

abroad to study. Now that you've returned and have finally met a girl you like, you're just going to let

her go?"

"I..."

"Don't let her go. Pursue your true love, okay?"

"Alright, I'll invite her for dinner."

Robert took out his cellphone. Her phone number was saved in his address book, but when he dialed

the number, the voice of a little girl picked up. She was obviously not Linda.

Heart sinking, he hung up. Did she give him a wrong number?

"What's wrong, Robert?"

Robert smiled bitterly and showed Adam his phone. "She gave me the wrong number. A little girl

answered. I guess she doesn't want to get in touch with me."

Adam paused.

He turned his good eye away from Robert.

He forgot that Linda's phone had been damaged by Vincent Zhou.

It was supposed to be somewhere else other than Linda's hand right now.

"You can ask her who she is. Maybe she's her sister?"

"You're right..." Robert scratched his head and smiled in embarrassment. Whenever Linda was on his

mind, he felt like a stupid puppet that needed winding up.

Taking Adam's advice, Robert dialed again.

The voice of the same girl answered.

"Hi."

"Hello. May I speak to Linda?"

"Sorry, she's not available right now. Who's this?"

The girl was Lily Xie.

Back when Derek Xie had been taken away, Lily was taken with him.

Lily was worried because she tricked Linda into coming over, which led to her getting seriously injured.

Charles would have given her a hard time, but he didn't. Instead, she lived comfortably in a cozy room

with a lot of food. The only downside was that she wasn't allowed to go out.

"Why not?"

"My sister got injured. She's in hospital now. Are you her friend?"

Hearing that Linda was hurt, Robert asked worriedly, "Where is she? Could you tell me the address? I

want to see her!"

The Mu Clan's private hospital was closed to the public. Lily thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid I

can't tell you. Do you have important business with her? How about I try contacting her, so I can tell her

that you want to visit her?"

Lily wanted to apologize to Linda in person, but she didn't have the chance to. If she could take this

opportunity, she would feel a lot better.

"Thank you very much. Please tell her to call me back when she is free. My name is Robert Huo."

Robert Huo hung up the phone, deep in worry.

Glancing at Robert, Adam said, "Robert, I'm going to sleep. Have a good rest."

"Alright."

Adam walked into his room and locked the door. Then, he left the Mu's villa through a hidden tunnel

that led to a dark room.

Inside, Lisa Xia was lying on the couch and watching TV.

Adam sat beside her, crossing his legs. He patted Lisa's head gently with one hand.

Lisa sat up on her knees, and stared fixedly at the news.

"Yesterday afternoon, Linda Xia, the fiancé of Charles Mu, CEO of Mu Group, was kidnapped and held

in the wharf in the northern part of the city. The kidnapper apparently hanged her over the river by the

hook of a crane. After several hours of negotiation, Charles Mu was eventually able to rescue his

fiancé. According to witnesses, Linda Xia almost lost her life... What an exciting turn of events!" added

the reporter at the end.

"Are you happy?" Adam looked at Lisa. Her pretty face was lit up in excitement.

"I am, but it's a pity she survived!" Lisa said through gritted teeth.

"She has to stay alive..."

Lisa's expression changed at his words. "Why?"

"You don't need to know."

Lisa instantly got nervous. She held her legs tightly and asked quickly, "Master, you promised to help

me with my revenge if I learn the postures in the video. Are you still willing to help me? I've been

studying so hard lately."
