During the day she was gentle, and at night she was passionate; that was Lu Yanzhi's evaluation of her.
However, when Han Wei said she had less than six months to live, Lu Yanzhi did not ...
Chapter 472 There are plenty of fish in the sea, but he only wants her.
In that instant, many things converged and burst forth in Shi Nian's mind.
The eldest son of the Fu family, who was outstanding, died, and the old master Fu did not investigate. The second son became depressed, liked beautiful women, and kept having children.
Many people of Mr. Zhao's generation probably know about those islands.
Old Master Li clearly knew something, but she had visited him several times, and he chose to remain silent.
What exactly is on the archipelago?
It's as if he could keep Old Master Fu from uttering a sound, and not even seek revenge for the murder of his son.
And clues to the father's death can also be found on these islands.
Grandpa Zhao specifically emphasized March of next year.
So does that mean you won't see anything when you go to this archipelago normally?
“The rally will be held next March.” After a long silence, Shi Nian finally spoke. “But I don’t know what will be sold at the rally.”
“We might sell anything,” Huo Yanmo said, “it just depends on what price we have to pay.”
Such gatherings held on a remote island at sea are always very dangerous.
It's very easy for two people to double-cross each other.
However, many things that are not available on the market can also be found at these gatherings.
Shi Nian did not respond.
She simply looked out the window.
Her reflection was visible through the windowpane.
Grandpa Zhao said she could get the information she wanted here.
Does this mean that someone who knows the inside story will land on those islands next March?
Why was Grandpa Zhao so sure the other party would go?
Two possibilities.
First, Mr. Zhao knew the other party, and the other party had mentioned that he was going there.
Second, the other party is a regular participant in the gathering and will definitely attend, such as the organizer.
I thought about many things.
Finally, she remembered the scene at the charity auction gala earlier this year, where she took off her mask to meet Mr. Fu.
Did Fu Boxiao know what was on those islands?
If she asks him, will he tell her?
Shi Nian lowered her eyes slightly.
She already has the answer.
The chances are slim.
Over the years, Fu Boxiao has even endured the death of his own son, so why would he tell her?
"Niannian." Huo Yanmo squeezed her hand. "I'll investigate. I'll be careful. Don't overthink it."
Shi Nian looked at Huo Yanmo and squeezed his hand back tightly.
It's late at night.
Not long after, Shi Nian lay down.
Lying in bed in her pajamas, she stared at the ceiling, her mind filled with too many thoughts, making it difficult to fall asleep.
She didn't know how much time had passed before she finally fell asleep.
But she was trapped in a recurring dream.
She repeatedly relived the day her father died.
She was standing at the foot of the Shi family building when she watched her father jump from the building and die right before her eyes.
Blood and brain matter splattered all over the ground.
"Niannian? Niannian..." It seemed like someone was calling her.
Shi Nian suddenly opened her eyes, and then she saw Huo Yanmo's worried eyes.
“You had a nightmare,” he said, taking a tissue from the side to wipe the sweat from her forehead.
She looked at Huo Yanmo, and what appeared before her eyes was still her father's unseeing eyes.
The pain was unbearable, yet I dared not close my eyes.
...
On the other side.
A desolate location in the suburbs without surveillance cameras.
Lu Yanzhi pulled Han Wei along as they drove out.
His face was contorted in a ferocious grimace.
The car kept driving away, and Han Wei kept screaming.
"Shut up!" Lu Yanzhi snapped.
But Han Wei still didn't stop.
"If you shout again, I'll make sure you never make a sound again!" Lu Yanzhi roared.
Han Wei then covered her mouth and remained silent.
The car arrived at another location, and Zhou Zhiyu and the others immediately surrounded it.
Someone took Han Wei away.
“President Lu,” Zhou Zhiyu said worriedly.
"He still ran away." Lu Yanzhi slammed his fist on the steering wheel.
This time, the battle with Li Yanqing.
After traveling to several different locations and going through countless twists and turns, they finally arrived here.
He brought men with him, but Li Yanqing still managed to escape.
what to do?
This is the second time we've failed.
Will there be a third time?
Shi Nian and Huo Yanmo's wedding was held a week later.
Was he just going to watch her get married to Huo Yanmo in a wedding dress?
Lu Yanzhi clenched his fists tightly.
He can't do it!
Zhou Zhiyu looked at Lu Yanzhi with concern, unsure of what to do.
“Li Yanqing is too cunning,” Zhou Zhiyu said. “He chooses the locations, and he always manages to set traps beforehand.”
The last time it was in the alley, and this time it's the final location too.
All of them were traps set in advance by Li Yanqing.
Both times, Li Yanqing escaped using these traps.
"Buzz buzz buzz..."
Han Wei's phone rang.
Lu Yanzhi took it out and looked at it.
[Lu Yanzhi, do you really want the documents, or do you want my life?]
It was a message sent by Li Yanqing.
Lu Yanzhi did not reply.
He didn't know how to reply.
He wanted to consider having Li Yanqing appear a third time, but he was also worried that Li Yanqing would realize his intentions.
Judging from the fact that Li Yanqing has not released the photos of Shi Nian these days, Li Yanqing should believe that he wants to use Han Wei to exchange for documents.
As long as Li Yanqing is given this hope, he still has a chance to catch Li Yanqing.
Li Yanqing did not send any more messages.
Zhou Zhiyu, who was standing nearby, also saw the message and asked, "President Lu, what should we do now?"
Lu Yanzhi closed his eyes.
"Go back," Lu Yanzhi said.
Now, all we can do is wait for Li Yanqing to send us a message.
But……
Shi Nian's wedding is just around the corner.
Lu Yanzhi moved to the back seat of another car, and Zhou Zhiyu started the car.
Lu Yanzhi looked at the city's night sky, where the countdown balloon was still floating.
One week.
Can he catch Li Yanqing?
...
Yu Yiyang and the others had been waiting outside Lu Yanzhi's apartment for quite some time.
When Lu Yanzhi's car stopped, he immediately went over to it.
"Brother Lu!" Yu Yiyang said with a smile, then raised the glass he had brought. "Want to have a drink together?"
Lu Yanzhi got out of the back seat and told Zhou Zhiyu to go back first. Then, he looked at Yu Yiyang and nodded.
The two went upstairs together.
We arrived at the apartment.
The two of them drank, one cup after another.
Alcohol numbs the brain, thus temporarily stopping thinking.
“Brother Lu, I’ve been thinking about it.” Yu Yiyang looked at Lu Yanzhi, who was still drinking heavily, and said, “Shi Nian is getting married in a week. After that, I’ll throw a party and invite some pretty girls over so we can get to know each other.”
Yu Yiyang hiccuped and continued, "Shi Nian is getting remarried, Brother Lu, you can't lose, there are plenty of fish in the sea!"
Lu Yanzhi drank another cup.
There are plenty of fish in the sea...
But all he wanted was her.
Thinking about it, Lu Yanzhi took another sip of wine.
“No need,” Lu Yanzhi said to Yu Yiyang. “I have no such intention.”
"But what about you?" Lu Yanzhi thought for a moment, then looked at Yu Yiyang and asked, "How are things between you and that woman?"
Yu Yiyang waved his hand, indicating that he didn't want to talk about it at all.
"She only pays attention to me when I'm helping her meet sales targets; she uses me and then throws me away," Yu Yiyang said angrily. "She's not after me; she's after my money!"
Lu Yanzhi watched Yu Yiyang being forced to drink.
He actually hoped that Shi Nian would be after his money.
But he knew from beginning to end that these weren't the things she cared about.
...
Time passed slowly.
One week.
Five days.
Three days.
...
Soon, it was the day before Shi Nian and Huo Yanmo's wedding.
