The voice on the other end of the phone had just finished speaking when Chu Xun heard a scream.
She turned around...
A few vicious and strong-looking men had grabbed a lady with yellow skin who was by herself at the cafe, causing her to scream out in fright. That lady's boyfriend, who had entered the cafe to place their orders, came out and, in awkward English, asked them what they were doing as he shielded his girlfriend behind him.
Chu Xun gulped nervously and quickly turned to leave.
After saying her thanks, Chu Xun was shivering all over.
She couldn't stay in Venice any longer, or she would be in danger!
Lin Nuan had been captured?
Chu Xun's guess was that she had been snatched by Fu Huai'an!
She couldn't help but feel disappointed, secretly harboring hatred as she wondered why Lin Nuan had such a good life. Back when she was in Iraq, she didn't die despite being dragged out by terrorists and having a gun pointed at her forehead. Now, in Venice, she was captured but still hadn't died! Moreover, she was saved by Fu Huai'an...
This time around, Fu Huai'an would definitely feel more care toward Lin Nuan since she had been kidnapped because of him. It would be even harder to separate them!
Although she knew that her thoughts were evil, Chu Xun still hoped that Lin Nuan would be captured by others or even lose her life!
...
The next day, a heavy downpour enveloped the entire city of Venice.
At the ports where goods were being imported and exported, scanners went through the many cargo crates. The loud sounds from the rain and the waves almost drowned out the agonizing cries and the barking of dogs.
Little Lu held up an umbrella for Fu Huai'an and stood behind him, lowering his head and not daring to look at the bloody scene.
Six Tosas had already bitten three people to death, though the blood was quickly washed away by the heavy rain, leaving behind trickles of red...
Lu Jinnan held up his umbrella with one hand as he lit a cigarette and puffed irritatedly. It seemed as if he were used to seeing such a scene.
By the time they had arrived at the airport yesterday, it was too late.
This was the first time that Fu Huai'an had ordered Gu Qingcheng in such a forceful manner! He had ignored the risk of having his identity exposed and made Gu Qingcheng force the Italian military officials they had been cooperating with to take action! He wanted to force the takeoff of all planes to be openly delayed in the name of searching for escaped convicts. With the help of the Italian military forces, they had combed through the entire airport, but they still hadn't managed to find Lin Nuan.
Lu Jinnan felt that Fu Huai'an had gone crazy!
Over the years, Fu Huai'an had gradually stepped out of this world, and "Mr. Moral" had gradually disappeared from the view of others. However, he was jumping out by himself at this moment!
When it came to Lin Nuan, Fu Huai'an forget his initial plan of gradually drawing himself away from these things.
Lu Jinnan's brows furrowed tightly, and he suddenly felt regretful...
If he had known this would happen, he would have gone all out to stop Fu Huai'an from taking Lin Nuan to Dubai!
If they hadn't gone to Dubai, they wouldn't have met Qin Zhe, and if they hadn't met and saved Qin Zhe, Fu Huai'an's identity wouldn't have been suspected!
If Fu Huai'an's identity wasn't suspected, Lin Nuan wouldn't have been captured today...
Back then, in order for Fu Huai'an, Lu Jinnan, and Tang Zheng to lead normal and peaceful lives, Gu Qingcheng had to pay the price of leading a vagabond life for the rest of his existence, always accompanied by danger.
Gu Qingcheng had appeared before others for many years. If Fu Huai'an's identity were exposed, then Gu Qingcheng's years of effort would be wasted!
Lu Jinnan took a deep puff of his cigarette and frowned even tighter.
If Fu Huai'an and Lin Nuan had stayed in the country, they might have been able to stay away from this dark side of the world, forever living in that world without danger... one that was ordinary and mediocre but safe.
Even if they managed to save Lin Nuan, would she be able to accept the other side of Fu Huai'an's past? Lu Jinnan couldn't help but worry.
That Fu Huai'an... had lived in a world that was unfamiliar and dangerous to Lin Nuan.
"Sir! We really weren't the ones who captured your wife! We were only ordered to keep an eye on you by Mr. Targus! We didn't do anything! If you don't believe us, you can call Mr. Targus to verify it! Mr. Targus only wishes to work with you!" The speaker was knelt down in the rain. He looked at the vicious appearances of the few Tosas that had blood dripping down their sharp fangs, then looked toward Fu Huai'an with a horrified gaze.
Fu Huai'an's black eyes seemed icy, and he emitted a bone-chilling coldness. His features appeared grim under the umbrella, and he gave off a sharp aura that made him seem like a Rakshasa from hell.
Fu Huai'an wasn't unaware of Lu Jinnan's worries...
Fu Huai'an also wanted to live a stable life for Tuan Tuan, Lin Nuan, and their future children!
Therefore, he stepped out and agreed to let Gu Qingcheng do all of the dangerous things on his behalf.
It wasn't that Fu Huai'an didn't wish to step out. When a person stepped into this world, they would have to see things through to the very end, either becoming strong enough to protect themselves and the people around them or suffering a terrible fate!
In the past, Fu Huai'an had a desperate need for money and power!
He had worked as an undercover before and knew the severity of things.
Even though he had seen too many cases where people regretted their choice and wanted to withdraw—only for their entire family suffer a terrible end—he still went ahead with it...
All this while, Fu Huai'an never had a path to retreat to!
One would either have to become so powerful that others couldn't discover them or... be unable to protect those around them and let them die horrible deaths together with them.
Choosing to go ahead with it was so that he would have enough money and power to protect those around him—he had no choice!
Fu Huai'an never did have a choice, nor did Gu Qingcheng, who had been through life and death situations with Fu Huai'an in the past.
Fu Huai'an felt very thankful that they had achieved what they had today. He could at least be sure that Lin Nuan's life wasn't in any danger at the moment!
The worst that could happen was that Fu Huai'an would have to use something in exchange for Lin Nuan!
Regardless of what it was, Fu Huai'an would hand it over! As long as Lin Nuan was safe...
"Since you've been keeping watch, you should naturally know who snatched our people. I'll give you one last chance, who was it?" Team C's leader, who had a long scar on his face and an extremely hoarse voice, asked, "I'll ask one last time, who was it?"
Fu Huai'an was so calm that he appeared cold. He unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, drawing one out and putting it to his mouth in a slovenly manner. However, as his gaze turned to look at the group of people who were in pathetic states and wearing grim expressions, it became piercingly cold. He gave off a lethally dangerous aura.
Fu Huai'an put out his hand to ask for the lighter from Lu Jinnan while speaking indifferently, "If you don't wish to answer, then there's no need to. The ones who captured my people will naturally contact me. I'll just have to pay a little price!"
Fu Huai'an took the lighter that Lu Jinnan handed to him and turned to leave, while Little Lu quickly followed after him.
Lu Jinnan moved the cigarette away from his mouth and said, "Regardless of whose lackeys these are, send their heads back to their owners!"
Team C's leader nodded.
"Yes!"
The sound of the heavy rain hitting the umbrella became increasingly louder, but Fu Huai'an's heart became increasingly composed. He was so calm that even his heart was starting to feel cold.
"It was the men who work for Golden Triangle's Mr. Mu Dan!"
Someone finally couldn't hold it in any longer and cried out...
"Sir! It was Mr. Mu Dan's men who captured your wife! It was Mr. Mu Dan's men!"
"That's right, that's right, that's right!"
"As for the others..." Lu Jinnan made a throat-slitting gesture.
