Chapter 145 He was found
Upon hearing the news, Fu Shiyue stood up, his eyes instantly sharpening, and he exuded a chilling aura.
"I have something to take care of, I'll come see you tomorrow."
Ye Xingran was left alone.
Knowing that Jiang Jiyue had made a move, he summoned Shen Xian'an to join him.
When Shen Xian'an arrived, he was startled to see Fu Shiyue's cold and stern appearance.
"Why did you call me over so late?" Shen Xian'an asked him.
Fu Shiyue's voice was low and cold: "I've had someone keep an eye on Hongxing. I think Xie Huaijin's disappearance is related to her. We got some news from her side today, and I hope you can keep an eye on her recent movements for me."
Shen Xian'an crossed his arms. "Old Fu, you always make me do the dirty work. Look at you, you're such a bad brother..."
He was previously tasked with concealing the truth about the antidote, and now he has to track people down...
"Stop with the sarcastic remarks. Just tell me whether you're going to help or not."
Shen Xian'an sighed, feigning helplessness, "Oh well, what can I do when I have a brother like you? But aren't you curious about what interesting things have happened to me lately?"
He frowned. "I'm not interested. You should get back to business."
Shen Xian'an, however, remained unhurried. "Don't be in such a hurry. I went to a party today and met a woman whose methods of pursuing someone were truly eye-opening. She was relentless and persistent, using all sorts of unexpected tricks that left the guy both amused and exasperated." Fu Shiyue, however, had no interest in listening to his words.
"Alright, alright, if you don't tell me you're keeping an eye on Jiang Jiyue, I'm going to find someone else."
He's the kind of carefree guy who jokes around with his brothers, but when it comes to getting things done, he can be ruthless.
Shen Xian'an then stopped teasing and said, "I understand, I'll go right away. Just wait for my good news."
After saying that, he turned and left to carry out the task assigned by Fu Shiyue.
now---
Fu Shiyue waited for Shen Xian'an's news in his office, pacing back and forth, his eyes fixed on the clock on the wall.
Every passing second made him increasingly anxious.
Finally, after several hours, the silence inside the room was broken by the ringing of a cell phone.
Fu Shiyue grabbed his phone and saw that it was Shen Xian'an calling. His heart jumped into his throat.
"How is it? Any news from her side?" he asked impatiently.
Shen Xian'an's voice came from the other end of the phone: "There really is something fishy going on. I just staked out her in Hongxing. I saw her drive to a place, and I followed Jiang Jiyue to an unfamiliar house. She seemed to be meeting with someone, and then only others came out, but I didn't see her come out. I haven't figured out the specifics yet, but I feel like things are not simple."
Fu Shiyue's eyes sharpened further. "You keep an eye on things. I'll take some men over there right away."
After hanging up the phone, he quickly gathered his men and prepared to go there.
At this moment, he had to find out what Jiang Jiyue was up to and also find Xie Huaijin's whereabouts.
Fu Shiyue and his men quickly arrived at the unfamiliar villa.
He surveyed his surroundings. The villa was surrounded by a dense forest, and it was very quiet, with only the sound of the wind rustling through the leaves.
The villa's gate was tightly closed, and it appeared to be heavily guarded.
Fu Shiyue's eyes were icy. He waved his hand, and his men quickly dispersed, preparing to enter the villa from various directions.
He walked straight to the door and kicked it open with force.
The interior was dimly lit and filled with a mysterious atmosphere.
Fu Shiyue walked forward cautiously when suddenly, a group of men in black emerged from a corner, armed with weapons, and surrounded Fu Shiyue and his companions.
They were all armed; if you tried to fight them head-on...
Only failure
But Fu Shiyue sneered, showing no fear whatsoever.
Just as tensions were running high, a familiar female voice rang out:
"Fu Shiyue, you've finally arrived."
Jiang Jiyue slowly walked out from the depths of the villa, a smug smile on her face.
His gaze was fixed on Jiang Jiyue, and he said coldly, "Jiang Jiyue, you really have surprised me. I'm quite curious what big thing you've been secretly doing here."
Jiang Jiyue crossed her arms and chuckled, "Fu Shiyue, you really are relentless in your pursuit of me. However, if you dare to make any rash moves today, things might not go as planned."
Fu Shiyue frowned, his eyes filled with disdain.
"I've come to see what you're really capable of."
Jiang Jiyue's lips curled up, a hint of madness in her eyes: "President Fu, are you really going to go against me for Xie Huaijin, who is full of lies? When it comes to interests, I don't believe that President Fu is someone who doesn't know how to make choices. You know best what kind of person he is. Xie Huaijin is selfish and self-serving. It's not worth President Fu going to such lengths for such a business partner."
As she spoke, she gave the men in black a wink, and they all cocked their guns, instantly lowering the atmosphere to freezing point.
"Didn't you want to see him?"
She took a step toward Fu Shiyue, looked up at him, and said, "Then all your men will have to go back. Only you are allowed to see him. Of course, if President Fu is unwilling, then there's no need to talk."
Fu Shiyue said without hesitation, "Okay, I promise you I'll let them all go back, and I'll go in alone."
Although his men were worried, they obeyed orders and withdrew.
Jiang Jiyue smiled smugly, then turned and led the way.
Fu Shiyue followed her deeper into the villa, cautiously observing his surroundings along the way.
Following it, we arrived at a dark basement.
a place where the sun never shines
Finally, he saw Xie Huaijin, who was tied up.
He has been kept locked up by Jiang Jiyue
Xie Huaijin's hair was disheveled, his face was bruised, and he had stubble on his chin, looking utterly wretched.
He is no longer the seemingly glamorous CEO of the Xie Group.
He looks like a prisoner.
He looked up, thinking it was another opportunity to torment him...
But the moment he saw Fu Shiyue, a glimmer of light and joy flashed in his eyes.
She thought he had come to rescue her...
"President Fu, you've arrived..." Xie Huaijin's voice was weak.
Jiang Jiyue stood aside and sneered, "Fu Shiyue, do you think you can take him away so easily?"
As she spoke, she took out a remote control. "If I press this button, this basement will explode, and you will all die."
Fu Shiyue's eyes sharpened.
"Jiang Jiyue, don't be impulsive. Tell me your conditions."
She stood aside and sneered, "Fu Shiyue, now that you've seen the person, it's up to you to choose."
Fu Shiyue looked at Xie Huaijin and said in a deep voice, "Just say what you want."
Jiang Jiyue's lips curled into a cruel smile. "It's simple. Give up the cooperation with the Xie family, have your sister divorce him. I want him as a person, and I want you to publicly support me in the business world. Otherwise, no one will leave here alive today."
Fu Shiyue clenched his fists, his face so dark it could drip water.
Jiang Jiyue has driven him to the brink of despair. Abandoning the cooperation with the Xie family will also cause losses to the company.
Allowing her sister to divorce would further hurt Fu Silin; publicly supporting Jiang Jiyue would undoubtedly damage her own reputation.
Just as Fu Shiyue hesitated, Xie Huaijin, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke:
“President Fu, don’t agree to her request. This company can be rebuilt even if I’m gone. I can’t let you and Silin get into trouble because of me.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jiyue felt as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world, and a smile involuntarily crept onto her lips.
Even at this point, he could still say such nice things, which she found hard to believe.
Looking back on everything, Jiang Jiyue suddenly realized how naive and foolish she had been. How could she have believed his sweet talk?
Jiang Jiyue glared at Xie Huaijin, her hand gripping the remote control tightly.
At that moment, Fu Shiyue's phone suddenly vibrated. It was a message from Shen Xian'an. It turned out that he had figured out the villa's security system and found a way to deactivate the bomb.
Fu Shiyue remained calm, but his eyes hardened.
He stared directly at Jiang Jiyue and said coldly, "Jiang Jiyue, do you think you can threaten me like this?"
Before Jiang Jiyue could react, Shen Xian'an rushed in with his men and quickly brought the situation under control.
“You lost, Jiang Jiyue,” Fu Shiyue said.
Shen Xian'an stepped forward and untied the ropes binding Xie Huaijin.
At this moment, Jiang Jiyue suddenly stood up, looking at Fu Shiyue and Xie Huaijin with resentment, "Don't be so smug, I won't let this go so easily."
Just as Jiang Jiyue finished speaking, another group of men in black suddenly emerged from a corner of the basement, quickly surrounding Fu Shiyue and the others once more. A smug smile returned to Jiang Jiyue's face. "Fu Shiyue, you think you've won?"
"I want to tell you this very seriously: Ye Xingran, the woman beside you, is no ordinary person! She and I share the same background and are the same kind of people! You know, the reason I was able to find Xie Huaijin was largely due to her help! So, you really need to treat her well!"
She laughed wildly, with a hint of smugness.
His eyes were deep and dark, with a hint of anger surging within them.
But he quickly regained his composure, his gaze sweeping over the surrounding men in black. Shen Xian'an gripped his weapon tightly, ready to fight at any moment. Xie Huaijin, though physically weak, managed to stand firmly behind Fu Shiyue.
Jiang Jiyue smiled smugly, "Now, let's see how you escape."
"I'll tell you everything now."
She once had a name, Joey. In Yunmeng, she was like a transparent person, with almost no presence.
However, fate led Lu Fei to notice this seemingly ordinary woman.
Lu Fei believes that Joey's lack of presence actually makes it easier for her to gain the trust of others when carrying out missions.
So he decided to send Joey on some critical missions, hoping to use her innocent and harmless appearance to deliver a surprise fatal blow to the enemy.
However, things didn't go as planned, and Joey failed to complete the mission each time, which greatly annoyed Lu Fei.
Whenever Joey fails a mission, Lu Fei becomes furious and locks her in solitary confinement, sometimes even making her spend three long days and three nights in a water dungeon.
In this predicament, Joey felt utterly desperate and helpless.
Fortunately, there was someone who always cared for her silently.
That was Ye Xingran.
Ye Xingran is very powerful in Yunmeng and has completed her missions exceptionally well. She is one of Lu Fei's most trusted people.
Although they all knew that the consequences of failing to complete their mission in Yunmeng would be unimaginable, they could only grit their teeth and endure the torment day after day in order to survive.
In order to obtain the antidote, I have to do things I don't want to do...
