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."
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?"
