The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife
Chapter 132 Do You Want to Die

Luke led Julian to where the mural was.

"This is the place Queeny mentioned just now, the place where she drugged Susie." Luke immediately glanced around the place.

He found nothing.

It meant that they had lost their only clue.

"Now, we'll start from here and try to look for Susie." Julian chose a path and went to search for her without any hesitation. 1

Luke pursed his lips before walking down another path.

Water was dripping. Susan opened her eyes in a daze.

It was pitch black. Subconsciously, she breathed in a few gulps of fresh air deeply.

Although she tried her best, she still felt slightly suffocated as the air was insufficient there.

She rubbed her temples and forced herself to calm down.

She was in the cave just now.

The sound of the water was familiar. She felt slightly suffocated at the same time.

So, she might still be in the cave.

She touched her body to search for her belongings.

Her phone and torchlight were snatched away. She found nothing with her.

Susan pursed her lips inevitably.

Clearly, somebody drugged her and moved her there intentionally.

The paths in the cave were rather complicated, and the air was quite limited.

She did not know how long she had been there. She started to feel that she could not catch her breath now. She might suffocate to death if she lingered there for a few more hours. Indeed, the person who framed her wanted her dead.

Soon, Susan was enveloped in fear of death. She pinched herself harshly as an attempt to force herself to calm down.

Her first response was to look for a way to save herself.

She thought for a while.

Then, she realized that the best way to save herself was to stay put in the original place as she had no light or aids to help her.

So, she could only wait for somebody to come and rescue her.

The helplessness engulfed Susan, and she felt upset about it.

The darkness intensified her anxiety and panic.

Susan wrapped her arms around her knees tightly.

She felt much safer in that position.

The water was dripping.

Minutes ticked by. She heard nothing else other than the sound of the water in the cave.

The air became much more limited now, and Susan found it much more difficult to breathe.

Susan felt that she started to lose her wits given the suffocating feeling.

She hugged herself even tighter.

Then, she reminded herself.

'Stay calm. You must stay calm.'

Now, news that she had gone missing must have been revealed to the others. Julian would certainly come to her rescue.

Susan felt calmer when she thought about Julian.

She did not know when it started. Surprisingly, she was so dependent on him now.

"No, we did not see her."

"There's no sign of her."

They reported the results through the walkie-talkies.

However, they reported that they saw no signs of her.

"It's been half an hour now. Come out of the cave first and rest for around ten minutes."

The others left the cave in an orderly manner.

Soon, they gathered at the mouth of the cave.

Charlotte's facial expression changed slightly when she realized what was wrong.

Everyone was there except for Luke and Julian.

They entered the cave impatiently that they did not manage to grab walkie-talkies with them.

Charlotte called their phones immediately.

She called Julian first.

"Julian, it's been half an hour now. Just leave the cave first. If you linger there for too long, you'll have difficulty breathing," Charlotte said immediately.

"There's no need for that," Julian said rather calmly." You just take care of the others' safety. I'm fine."

"Julian..." Charlotte spoke again anxiously.

However, Julian hung up the phone directly.

Charlotte was slightly annoyed at that moment.

'Just for the sake of Susan! Julian would risk his life like that. Did he want to die?'

At that particular moment, Charlotte was indeed anxious.

This was not what she planned the scheme to look

like.

She suppressed her panic forcefully and called Luke." Brother, come out here and take a rest."

"No need," Luke said the same thing as Julian before he hung up the phone directly.

Both of their CEOs refused to leave the cave. The others started to look at each other nervously.

"Young lady, that'll not do. If sir lingers there for a long time, his life might be endangered too!" somebody said anxiously.

"And our chairman too! If anything happens to him, the Jenkins Corporation has no way to compensate for it!" one of the employees from Lanyard Construction said. "What does it have to do with our Jenkins Corporation? Mr. Shaw went in there voluntarily."

"Didn't people from the Jenkins Corporation bring Susan into the cave? That's why she's missing."

"But the person who drugged her is one of the employees from Lanyard Construction."

Both parties had a heated argument.

Charlotte clutched the phone tightly. Her facial expression worsened.

She took a few deep breaths and spoke to herself.

'It's not the time to be nervous now.'

'It has only been half an hour. They may still have enough oxygen to get by.'

'Julian and brother will not be so stupid as to risk their lives just for a mere Susan!'

'It's better to wait for a while longer.'

'When they have difficulty breathing, they'll definitely leave the cave.'

After around ten minutes, the others started the second search round.

Julian was swiftly crossed from path to path.

He was hopeful every time he came to a new junction.

But he was filled with despair every time he left the junction.

Julian's facial expression darkened. He was engulfed in an unspeakable panic.

'Susie! Where are you?'

Julian did not know what would transpire if anything happened to Susan. How could he survive in a world without Susan? What would be left for him in this world? Currently, nearly an hour had passed.

The air was slightly insufficient. His breathing started to become heavy and difficult.

However, Julian did not feel the pain. He was only aware of the fact that the time Susan spent in the cave

was much longer than him.

'How about Susie? How much did she suffer?'

But it was a mindless thing to do if he continued his search like that.

Julian forced himself to stay calm to think about the entire affair.

Another half an hour went by. The second search round ended.

Everyone left the cave except Julian and Luke.

Now, everyone was much more nervous.

Charlotte was anxious too.

She did not understand why Julian and her brother could risk their lives for just a mere woman.

'No, it won't do.'

'I must force them to leave the cave if worse comes to worst.'

Charlotte was about to ask someone to trail behind the bioluminescent powder which they left behind and get them out of the cave forcefully. 1

Suddenly, a figure appeared at the mouth of the cave.

Charlotte realized that it was Julian.

She was delighted. "Julian, you..."

"Come with me for a while." Julian looked at Charlotte coldly.

"Sure," Charlotte replied immediately.

Julian led her to a remote place directly. Charlotte was still puzzled when Julian turned around all of a sudden.

Then, he grabbed Charlotte's neck swiftly.

Charlotte was shocked by his action. She tried her best to push his hand away. She said with some difficulties, "Ju...lian, what are you doing?"
