The flight time reminder begins; the plane will be landing soon.

Chen Tianhai was somewhat excited, and his anxiety subsided a little.

Just as he was about to say something to Chen Jiawang, something pressed against his back.

Chen Tianhai hurriedly turned his head to look at the person behind him.

The man was very well disguised, with only his eyes showing, making it impossible to see his face. However, the dark pistol he was carrying was very conspicuous.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

Chen Jiawang, unaware of what was happening, looked at his father in confusion.

He was stunned when he saw it.

"Who are you?"

The man's gaze fell upon Chen Jiawang, who immediately felt a chill run down his spine.

He had never seen anyone's eyes so cold.

Like ice, I felt no warmth at all.

"Don't speak."

Chen Tianhai quickly stopped Chen Jiawang to prevent him from saying something incoherent and provoking the other party to attack.

He knew this man was not the kind to be negotiated with; he was a completely emotionless, ruthless demon.

"Who are you?"

The other party did not answer.

Chen Tianhai swallowed hard. The flight time reminder came again, and the plane landed quickly.

But given the current situation, he dared not think about those things anymore; his life was in the other party's hands.

"Are you from the Dragon King's Palace?"

Chen Tianhai probed again.

The other party still did not answer.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Tianhai said weakly, "You came here for the money?"

This time, the other party reacted, very slightly, but Chen Tianhai still noticed it.

"I want to know, when did you start following us?"

However.

He simply took out a mobile phone, on which he was editing a message.

Enter your bank card number and password; if you get it right, your lives will be spared.

The brief words made Chen Tianhai hesitate.

The other party was too secretive; apart from their eyes, they wouldn't even utter a sound.

While this was intended to prevent eavesdropping and hearing, how could Chen Tianhai possibly have those things?

However, this cautious demeanor is incredibly disheartening.

Chen Jiawang naturally saw it too.

He was naturally unwilling to reveal the money.

"Dad, no, we can't give him the money!"

Having finally amassed so much money, they could enjoy a life of luxury and become super-rich.

Given that he had already given up on taking the remaining 30 billion yuan from the Fang family, how could the other party have revealed all of this based on a single text message from an editor?

"Dad, this is ours, we can't give it to him!"

Chen Jiawang still shouted something recklessly.

The other person stared coldly at Chen Jiawang, pointing his pistol at Chen Tianhai.

"don't want!"

Chen Tianhai quickly said, "Don't hurt my son, I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you right now!"

Upon hearing Chen Tianhai's plea, the other party stopped what they were doing and placed the phone in Chen Tianhai's hand.

Chen Tianhai looked at his phone, his expression one of deep resentment and helplessness.

He typed in the RS bank account number and password in a few quick strokes and handed it back to the other party.

Chen Tianhai looked as if he had aged more than ten years, his face was pale.

Chen Jiawang was so frightened that he dared not utter a sound, sitting there in fear, not daring to move at all.

The person glanced at it, then sent the text message. After a few minutes, a reply came back.

It says "ok" on it.

He then put the pistol away and hid it inside his hoodie.

Seeing this, Chen Tianhai breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had lost his money, he had saved his life.

He still has some assets, and if he doesn't spend them recklessly, he can live out the rest of his life quite comfortably.

However, before the father and son could think they had escaped a disaster, the man suddenly took out a small, red-glowing ball about the size of a bead.

He placed it in Chen Tianhai's hands.

At the same time, he placed the phone in Chen Tianhai's field of vision.

It says so.

Don't move, you'll die!

Chen Tianhai stared blankly at the small red ball of light flashing in his palm, completely forgetting to think.

The man was wearing a mask, but he seemed to smile, laughing at the ignorance of Chen Tianhai and his son, and at their foolishness.

He made a "bang" gesture, like an explosion, and slowly took a step back, disappearing into the waiting room.

"Dad, what is this?"

Chen Tianhai didn't answer, but instead murmured sadly, "I thought they would let us go, but I never expected that we would all die in the end. If I had known it would be like this, I wouldn't have gotten involved in the first place, otherwise, how could I be in this situation today..."

"Dad, what are you saying?!"

Chen Tianhai looked at his puzzled son, his face pale, a sad smile on his lips, and said regretfully, "Jiawang, I named you this in the hope that you would make something of yourself and revitalize our Chen family, but in the end I still can't see that scene."

“It’s my fault that you’ve become like this, so miserable. I knew this day would come. I regret making that decision. If I could do it all over again, I would never have agreed to their request.”

"Son, I hope you can forgive me, forgive me for placing my mistakes on you..."

Peng!

The words fell.

The bead in Chen Tianhai's palm flashed red light rapidly, then condensed and shone brightly.

Amidst Chen Tianhai's regret and Chen Jiawang's confusion.

The bead suddenly exploded.

The entire waiting room was filled with deafening noise and billowing dust.

...

Fang family.

Fang Xue's room.

After getting off work and returning home, she rested for a while, then took a shower and began to prepare.

It took me almost two hours to put together the outfit I needed and apply light makeup.

Fang Xue stared blankly at herself in the makeup mirror.

She thought of what had happened at noon.

How could she have acted so impulsively as to kiss Luo Chen back then, and then she thought of the times when Luo Chen protected her?

Moreover, looking at my carefully dressed appearance in the mirror, I felt a sense of anticipation for this meal.

This... doesn't resemble her at all.

No, no, no!

Fang Xue shook her head vigorously, trying to dispel the slight heat from her face.

She didn't like Luo Chen, and Luo Chen didn't like her either.

She agreed to have dinner with Luo Chen only to reject Ye Lin, so that Ye Lin would give up and stop bothering her.

Besides, Luo Chen protected her, so having a meal together shouldn't be a problem, right?

That's right, that's exactly it.

That must be it.

I checked my phone; there were still five minutes until eight o'clock.

Luo Chen should be arriving soon.

She wondered where Luo Chen would take her to eat and what kind of car he would drive.

Thinking of this, Fang Xue's expression immediately turned sour.

The cars I'd seen Luo Chen before were either green or pink.

It was incredibly awkward to watch, and only today did Luo Chen's car seem relatively normal.

Unfortunately, it had already been damaged by Ye Lin and was now scrap.

In other words, tonight Luo Chen will still be driving the same car that looks girlish or like a girlfriend cheating on her boyfriend, just like before?

Fang Xue felt a headache coming on. If that were the case, should she lend him her Panamera?

At least I'll feel a little better.

However, no one else has ever used or ridden in her car.

Would this...?

Shaking his head, he thought of Luo Chen's character and decided that giving him a ticket wasn't a big deal.
