Chapter 430 He Sold You

When Li Yancheng learned that the Huo family had surrounded them, he showed no panic whatsoever. On the contrary, he remained remarkably calm.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, no one from the Huo family boarded the ship. Moreover, the cruise ship carrying Li Yancheng was still sailing normally and would soon enter the area controlled by the Li family.

Once Li Yancheng enters the Li family's territory, things will be much more comfortable for him. Huo Nanxiao will have to think twice before trying to cause him trouble again, since the Li family is not to be trifled with.

Looking out the window at the dark expanse, the sea breeze howling, and the waves crashing on the surface, it was clear that the Huo family's private jet wouldn't be deployed. As long as they were out of Huo Nanxiao's surveillance range, everything would be up to Li Yancheng.

Huo Nanxiao probably didn't expect Han Musen to get involved. Originally, it was just a matter between him and Li Yancheng, but now, because of Han Musen's involvement, the whole thing has become complicated.

"I'll handle it." Just then, Fu Xiyu spoke up.

Huo Nanxiao nodded: "Go ahead."

Fu Xiyu left quickly.

Seeing this, Yao Qing quickly stopped Fu Xiyu.

Fu Xiyu immediately took action.

Yao Qing dared not let anything happen to Fu Xiyu, so she deliberately held back when she struck, but the price for doing so was that she herself suffered a loss.

Fu Xiyu quickly found reinforcements, but by the time they arrived, it was too late.

The cruise ship had slowly sailed away from the city center and docked at a remote port, which happened to be the territory of the Li family.

The area was heavily guarded, with a dense troop of guards practically surrounding the entire dock.

Xia Wanwan was the first to be taken away, and no one knows exactly where she is being held.

However, once you get into this remote town, it becomes quite troublesome to find it.

Li Yancheng was clearly not interested in Huo Nanxiao; he simply wanted to detain Xia Wanwan. To prevent Xia Wanwan from getting into trouble, Huo Nanxiao decided to negotiate with him.

As long as it's something Huo Nanxiao can give, and it's not excessive, he can agree to it.

"I don't want any benefits anymore. Even if you give me money, I don't want it. If you want Xia Wanwan, then exchange her for Xia Ningxi." That was Li Yancheng's attitude.

Huo Nanxiao's eyes flashed with murderous intent: "Say that again!"

"Hmph, it's the same no matter how many times you say it. If you want Xia Wanwan, you'll have to trade Xia Ningxi for her." Li Yancheng snorted arrogantly, not forgetting to mock Huo Nanxiao: "A person should always make choices. You don't mean to be so greedy as to want both of them, do you?"

Huo Nanxiao: "Since that's the case, there's nothing more to say."

He turned and walked towards the door, then got off the boat.

The dock was now teeming with Li family guards. When Huo Nanxiao disembarked, they all stared at him warily, ready for anything.

Huo Nanxiao didn't even glance at them, and walked straight towards the exit.

The guard beside him asked Li Yancheng in a low voice, "Should we stop them?"

"Why are you stopping him? I didn't prepare a bed for him to stay overnight," Li Yancheng replied impatiently.

The guard immediately shut his mouth.

Boom boom boom—

The sound of propellers came from the sky, growing louder and more frequent as it approached.

Li Yancheng frowned: "What was that sound?"

"Young Master Li, a helicopter is heading this way." Yao Qing suddenly appeared out of nowhere, his face very serious.

"They caught up so quickly? No wonder this guy was so confident." Li Yancheng cursed.

Yao Qing said, "What do we do now? Shoot the plane down?"

"How do we attack? Launch you there?" Li Yancheng retorted.

Yao Qing's lips twitched, and she immediately shut her mouth.

The helicopter was very fast. They had just left the city of the capital and stopped at the dock when Huo Nanxiao's men arrived.

Fortunately, this area is all Li family territory. Even if Huo Nanxiao's people come, as long as Li Yancheng doesn't allow it, they won't be able to take the person away from him.

After glancing at the helicopter circling overhead, Li Yancheng said to Yao Qing, "Hold them down as soon as they get off."

"Yes, sir." Yao Qing waved his hand, preparing to leave with his group, but then remembered that Fu Xiyu was still on the ship. He asked worriedly, "What should we do with Young Master Fu?"

"..." Li Yancheng was speechless.

Dealing with Huo Nanxiao was already troublesome enough, but adding Fu Xiyu on top of that was really giving him a headache.

Fortunately, Xia Wanwan was in his hands, so even if Huo Nanxiao was angry, he wouldn't dare to gamble with Xia Wanwan's life.

Li Yancheng strode across the manor and arrived at the Li family's private castle.

Before long, Lu Qi arrived with his men, and the Fu family also came, surrounding Li Yancheng's private castle almost simultaneously.

However, before they could even make a move, Han Musen called the police.

This matter also attracted the attention of the higher-ups, but the two sides did not fight or cause any trouble. Jin Boxiang made a phone call to Li Yancheng, warning him not to cause any trouble.

Li Yancheng smiled and assured him, "Don't worry, Grandpa Jin, I won't cause any trouble. However, you'll have to keep an eye on Huo Nanxiao. I don't know where this guy got his anger from, and he even tried to kill someone to silence them."

Jin Boxiang: "If you don't provoke him, you'll be fine."

“That’s a bit biased,” Li Yancheng said.

Jin Boxiang: "I don't care what you're arguing about, just don't cause any trouble for me."

He knew Huo Nanxiao's temper very well; he would never cause trouble for no reason. It must have been Li Yancheng who angered Huo Nanxiao, which was why Huo Nanxiao got angry. This kind of thing could only be blamed on Li Yancheng's foolishness; the Jin family wouldn't care.

Huo Nanxiao, unable to reason with Li Yancheng, directly attacked the Li family's base.

The coincidence is that the Li family's base was built on Huo Nanxiao's territory, making it exceptionally convenient for him to take action.

Li Yancheng had barely settled into his seat when he received a call from the base: something terrible had happened!

He knew without even thinking that Huo Nanxiao was behind this.

With a snap, the phone was hung up.

Li Yancheng said to Huo Nanxiao, "You have quite the nerve."

"You can keep stalling. As long as I don't see Xia Wanwan today, I can paralyze all of the Li family's bases in the capital city before dawn," Huo Nanxiao said.

Li Yancheng gave a forced smile: "Very well, it's just a base. It's not like I can't afford to lose money. If you want to destroy it, then go ahead."

Huo Nanxiao's eyes narrowed.

Li Yancheng suddenly turned around and lazily asked Yao Qing, "Where's Xia Wanwan?"

"It's already been delivered to the museum," Yao Qing replied.

Huo Nanxiao frowned, a question lingering in his mind.

Yao Qing smiled broadly: "Don't worry, Young Master Huo, that aquarium is an underwater world that Young Master Li built specifically for the seaside. It houses some rather ferocious piranhas that are quite picky eaters. Miss Wanwan has delicate skin, so I reckon they wouldn't like her."

What does this statement mean as a threat?

This was clearly a reminder to Huo Nanxiao that they could throw Xia Wanwan into the water to feed the fish at any time.

If it were just Huo Nanxiao, he naturally wouldn't take Li Yancheng seriously. But now that Xia Wanwan is in Li Yancheng's hands and in poor health, even walking has become difficult for her. If she were really thrown into the water to feed the fish, there would be no way she could escape alive.

"Apart from Xia Ningxi, you can name any other conditions you want," Huo Nanxiao said in a cold voice.

Li Yancheng said, "I only want Xia Ningxi."

"Don't push your luck," Huo Nanxiao warned.

Li Yancheng: "I have money, and I don't care about profit. I'll exchange a life for a life. I'll release Xia Ningxi the moment she's in my hands. But my patience is limited. Judging by the time, your Xia Wanwan is already on the chopping block. When you throw her into the sea to feed the fish depends on your sincerity. You know I don't have much patience."

Yao Qing fanned the flames from the side: "Young Master Li, the piranhas haven't been fed for several days."

Li Yancheng smiled but didn't speak, though his beautiful eyes remained fixed on Huo Nanxiao, waiting for Huo Nanxiao to make a decision.

Huo Nanxiao knew that Li Yancheng's attitude towards Xia Ningxi was strange and did not want to hand her over.

However, Fu Xiyu, who was standing to the side, was very angry.

"Nan Xiao, what are you still hesitating about? Wanwan's health isn't good; she can't afford any accidents. Do you want to watch her die?"

"Don't forget, Wanwan became like this because of you. How can you be so hesitant and do her justice?"

“Xia Ningxi has a great reputation in the capital city now, and Li Yancheng dares not touch her. The most urgent task is to rescue Wanwan first. We can talk about other things after we take Wanwan away.”

Fu Xiyu's attitude was very clear: he would exchange Xia Ningxi for Xia Wanwan.

Out of guilt towards Xia Wanwan, Huo Nanxiao agreed.

One hour!

An hour later, the Huo family's private plane landed safely on the Li family's lawn, and Xia Ningxi was on the plane.

Release Xia Wanwan.

Huo Nanxiao said.

When Li Yancheng saw Xia Ningxi walk off the plane with a puzzled look on her face, he smiled very nicely: "Young Master Huo is really deeply in love with Xia Wanwan. I wonder if Xia Ningxi knows that she has been abandoned by you?"

Huo Nanxiao repeated impatiently, "Where is she?"

"Yao Qing, take Huo Nanxiao to get him," Li Yancheng instructed.

Yao Qing said, "Young Master Huo, this way please."

Huo Nanxiao glanced at Xia Ningxi, said nothing, got into the car, and left.

Completely bewildered, Xia Ningxi was in a daze. She was sleeping soundly at home when Lu Qi suddenly took her away overnight. As soon as she landed, she saw Huo Nanxiao leaving. What did this mean?

They ran away?

Looking around, she met Li Yancheng's amused eyes, and he smiled and greeted Xia Ningxi.

Xia Ningxi; "..."

Could it be that she was sold out by that bastard Huo Nanxiao?

Looking around, she saw a dense crowd of guards. Good heavens, she had really been betrayed by Huo Nanxiao!

That bastard!

Li Yancheng stepped forward and said with interest, "I told you long ago to reply to my messages, and now you're in trouble."

"What happened?" Xia Ningxi asked calmly.

Li Yancheng: "Can't you see? Huo Nanxiao is using you to exchange for Xia Wanwan."
