Chapter 772: Emergency Return_1

Lu Jin took a step back in fear.

"Is the call over?" He asked, his voice eerily cold.

"Not yet..."

Before Lu Jin could finish his words, Huo Beijiang turned and walked towards the office. Although he was not sprinting, he strode so fast that Lu Jin had to jog to catch up. After reaching the office and picking up the phone, he uttered a grunt before Ying Jiuming's regretful voice came through.

"Beijiang," Ying Jiuming's voice sounded extremely tired, "I'm sorry! I failed to protect your aunt."

"Where is she? What happened?"

"She's gone! She's gone!" Ying Jiuming's voice was filled with pain and his cries were harsh and uncharacteristic.
