Chapter 426 There is no true love in this world
Shen Hanxing slumped on the carpet, the sunlight from the window shining through the glass onto her face, but it couldn't warm the chill in her heart.
She remembered what Han Lingcui said and suddenly felt panic.
If something really happened to Xunxun, she would never be able to forgive herself in her life.
At this time at the airport, Han Lingcui was sitting on the bench in front of the boarding gate.
She looked at the boarding pass in her hand, rubbing the words "return home" repeatedly with her fingertips.
In order to find it, she had to go back and face the man whom she loved, hated, and finally chose to escape from.
The phone screen lit up and she made a call.
A man's deep voice came from the receiver, with his usual aloofness and arrogance: "Who is this?"
"Xuanyuan Pavilion, it's me."
Han Lingcui's voice was trembling, and she bit her lower lip to prevent herself from crying. "I want to see you."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for three seconds, followed by a flurry of activity.
"Lingling."
"Are you willing to see me?"
"Where are you? I'll pick you up."
"No need!" Han Lingcui's voice suddenly rose, then quickly dropped. "I have something very important to tell you about...our past."
This sentence was like a stone thrown into a deep pool, leaving the person on the other end of the phone completely silent.
A long time passed, so long that Han Lingcui thought the other party had hung up, before he heard Xuanyuan Ge's tired voice: "See you at the same place tomorrow afternoon at three o'clock."
After hanging up the phone, Han Lingcui leaned back in her chair, tears finally bursting out.
She recalled the rainy night five years ago when Xuanyuan Ge's mother threw a check in her face and said that a woman with no background like her was not worthy of entering the Xuanyuan family.
She touched her still flat belly, gritted her teeth and turned to leave, but was rear-ended by a truck on the highway. When she woke up, she was lying in the hospital with a blank memory.
She hated Xuanyuan Ge's cowardice and hated him for allowing his family to break them up, but now, she had to put aside all her dignity and beg this man.
As the plane took off, Han Lingcui looked at the city gradually shrinking outside the window and suddenly took out an old photo frame from his bag.
In the photo, she was smiling like a flower, nestled in Xuanyuan Ge's arms. The sunshine at that time was warm enough to melt the ice and snow.
She gently stroked the man's face in the photo with her fingertips and whispered, "Xuanyuan Pavilion, please save our child."
…
At the same time, Qi Moxun was frowning at the information on the screen in the hotel conference room.
News came from Interpol that the criminal group behind Xi Muxuan had begun transferring funds, and was obviously prepared to run away as soon as they got the project.
"We must stop them before Han Lingcui meets Xuanyuan Pavilion."
Qi Moxun tapped the table, "I have contacted the old man of the Xuanyuan family, and he agreed to meet with us."
Shen Hanxing looked up at him, his eyes full of worry: "What if Han Lingcui really got the documents?"
"Then let her take it." Qi Moxun's eyes suddenly became sharp.
"I will have the Xuanyuan family prepare a fake document. The moment Xi Muxuan gets the fake document, it will be time to close the net."
He paused, and his voice softened. "Xunxun will be fine, trust me."
Chen Hanxing looked at his determined eyes and nodded. But the uneasiness in her heart surged like a tide.
She always felt that things would not be that simple.
But there is no better way now, so I can only deal with it this way for now.
…
The next day at three o'clock in the afternoon, at the old place cafe.
Han Lingcui sat by the window, and the latte in front of him had gone cold.
After five years, the decor here has hardly changed, except for a jukebox in the corner, playing her favorite song from that year.
Her heart skipped a beat when the door opened.
Xuanyuan Ge was standing at the door wearing a black suit. He looked much more mature than he was five years ago, with a hint of vicissitudes between his brows.
He walked straight to her and sat down, pushing a document in front of her: "This is your physical examination report from that year. I only found out about your pregnancy later."
Han Lingcui's fingers trembled as she flipped through the documents. The tiny life on the ultrasound report was clearly visible. She looked up, her eyes blurry with tears. "What do you mean?"
"My mother hid this report after she forced you to leave. Believe me, I never gave up on you."
Xuanyuan Ge's voice was a little tired, and his eyes were complicated. "You didn't come here today to reminisce about the past, did you?"
Han Lingcui took a deep breath, took out her cell phone from her bag, and clicked on the photo of Xunxun sent by Xi Muxuan.
"Xunxun has been kidnapped. They're demanding the core documents for the new energy project."
Xuanyuan Ge's expression instantly darkened: "Did Xi Muxuan do it?"
"Do you know her?" Han Lingcui was stunned.
"Her father was killed by my grandfather because he tried to steal the Xuanyuan family's technology. He has been in semi-retirement until now."
Xuanyuan Ge sneered, "I didn't expect to raise a daughter who looks just like him."
He looked at Han Lingcui, "What do you want me to do?"
"Give me the documents." Han Lingcui's voice was filled with pleading. "As long as I can save Xunxun, I'm willing to do anything."
Xuanyuange was silent for a long time, so long that Han Lingcui thought he would refuse. He suddenly stood up and pulled her up: "Come with me."
Han Lingcui's heart was beating fast when the car drove into the Xuanyuan family's old house.
In the study, Xuanyuan Ge opened the safe, took out a USB drive and placed it in front of her.
"This is a real document, but it has a tracker. The moment Xi Muxuan gets hold of it, the police will know her location."
He looked at her with a barely perceptible tenderness in his eyes, "I was sorry for you back then, this time, I won't let anything happen to you again."
Han Lingcui picked up the USB drive, her fingertips cold. She looked at Xuanyuan Pavilion, suddenly said "thank you", and turned to leave.
Xuanyuan Ge's eyes instantly turned red.
Seems like he wants to keep me.
I want to say what has been hidden in my heart for many years.
But in the end...
He turned his head away and said in a hoarse voice: "Go ahead, be careful."
The sun was shining brightly when Han Lingcui walked out of the old house.
She clenched the USB drive in her hand, feeling mixed emotions.
She didn't know if what she did was right, but as long as she could save Xunxun, everything was worth it.
At this moment, in the revolving restaurant, Xi Muxuan was looking at the lake outside the window with a smug smile on her lips.
She knew that Han Lingcui would definitely go to Xuanyuan Pavilion, and she also knew that Xuanyuan Pavilion would definitely give her the documents.
She had already found out everything about that man's obsession with Han Lingcui.
The phone rang, and it was a report from his subordinate: "Han Lingcui has obtained the documents and is on his way."
"very good."
Xi Muxuan hung up the phone and looked at Xunxun in her arms. "Little friend, you'll be able to see your mother soon. But this will be the last time."
Xunxun was so scared that she burst into tears, and her cries echoed in the empty restaurant like a sad prelude.
Xi Muxuan looked at his frightened face and suddenly remembered that when she was a child, her father held her in the same way and said he would give her the best things in the world.
But later, her father wanted to deprive her of her inheritance rights because of Qi Moxu.
He even wanted to attack her.
There is no such thing as family love in this world!
