On a seemingly peaceful night, people from all walks of life were approaching a destination without any prior agreement.
Inside the car, everyone looked far from relaxed. Fu Linxiao sat in the back seat, clutching the ring tightly in his hand, refusing to let go. Jiang Linghao's gaze was fixed on the red dot on the screen, his hand tightening uncontrollably as he drove. Wilding, in the passenger seat, dared not utter a single sound, fearing the displeasure of the two evil spirits. Ah Xing, huddled next to Fu Linxiao, also had a sullen expression on her face. As she watched the solemn expressions of the others, she silently prayed for Jiang Luoning.
"Axing, how's the Killer Alliance doing?"
"They are closer to their destination than us. Zuo Feng and Irene should arrive first."
Even though the man's pressure was very strong at the moment, Ah Xing still looked at the specific locations of several people shown on his watch, and then replied truthfully to Fu Linxiao.
"Tell them not to act rashly. After all, Helian Rui hasn't made any move yet!"
Perhaps because he thought of the incident of the bomb when rescuing Lu Zifan before, Fu Linxiao was still a little uneasy. He didn't dare to think about it at all, but he couldn't help but flashing those scenes that were unfavorable to Jiang Luoning in his mind, including the first time he found the location, his thoughts were brought back to the scene when Jiang Luoning recounted his tragic death in his previous life.
The incidents all happened in warehouses. Although the people who kidnapped the little girls were different, he was really too worried. He couldn't imagine how he would feel if those scenes really happened in front of him.
The little girl had experienced the pain of her previous life firsthand, and he would not allow her to experience this pain again. As she thought about it, she felt an inexplicable burning sensation all over her body, and slowly she even felt the invasion of pain, so much so that the back of her neck was sweating slightly. However, Ah Xing on the side did not notice the man's abnormality and was still making solemn promises to him.
"Don't worry, brother-in-law! I've just informed Chen Xu!"
Hearing this, Fu Linxiao didn't say anything, and the car fell into a dead silence again.
Inside the ward;
Chen Xu felt the vibration of his cell phone beneath him, and glanced at everyone in the room nonchalantly. At this time, Mrs. Dong had been sent back to Dong Siqing's ward. Only Helian Rui, Daisy and the two bodyguards at the door were left here.
He picked up the phone and played with it for a while. While no one was paying much attention to him, Wan'er immediately switched to another system. When he saw the message sent by Axing, he couldn't help but feel very happy.
But after seeing the culprit sitting on the sofa, he was thinking about how to make this suspicious man join in willingly.
He put away his phone, tossed and turned in bed, pretending to be worried and unable to sleep well. After a while, he sat up and looked at Helian Rui to ask questions.
"Grandpa, when will you take me to see the surprise you prepared for me?"
Helian Rui raised his eyes when he heard the question, staring at Chen Xu who suddenly mentioned this matter, and asked tentatively in an ambiguous tone, "What? Are you anxious?"
Feeling Helian Rui's inquiring gaze, Chen Xu couldn't help feeling a little uneasy. He knew that his sudden attack would definitely arouse the man's suspicion, but he had to cooperate with the people who were taking action and let Helian Rui take him to the place where Jiang Luoning was imprisoned. If Helian Rui did not show up today, rescuing Jiang Luoning would only solve the immediate problem. There was no guarantee that when everyone relaxed, they would encounter a second such crisis. Only by annihilating them in one fell swoop with Helian Rui present would they have no worries.
After much deliberation, Chen Xu finally came up with a plan that he thought was comprehensive.
"I'm not in a hurry, I just want to see what the famous Third Master Fu in the Imperial Capital would look like when he finds out that the woman he loves most is in my hands!"
"Xu'er, why are you so hostile towards Fu Linxiao? Don't tell me it's just revenge!"
Helian Rui was no ordinary man either. His relentless pressure was just an attempt to find suspicious points in Chen Xu's words and deeds.
As things have developed to this point, Chen Xu cannot afford to panic at all. Knowing Helian Rui's personality traits very well, he can only cater to his preferences and try hard to shape himself into a replica of that man. Only in this way can he confuse him and make him have the illusion that he has cultivated a sharp weapon.
It would be best to describe himself as someone who behaves and thinks the same way as the man. He simply revealed a slightly morbid expression, as if Jiang Luoning was his prey.
She randomly withdrew her gaze from the man, turned to the window, and sighed as if reminiscing about the past.
"Of course not, Grandpa, you don't know that Jiang Luoning was kidnapped when she was 12 years old. I saved her then, but she didn't show any gratitude at all. She was still lukewarm towards me, not even a friend! But she loves Fu Linxiao in every way. I just can't understand why I can't compare to him!"
Chen Xu mentioned the kidnapping deliberately, because in the memories he recalled later, he was treated as a puppet, and the injection of drugs started from that incident that he accidentally discovered. However, due to the influence of the poison, these real memories did not exist in his mind. All he remembered was that he saved Jiang Luoning and sent her back to the Jiang family.
As for Helian Rui's reaction, he saw it all; it was also to stimulate the man and make him believe more that Chen Xu was his ally and that he had similar interests. It must be said that his current acting skills were really inherited from the acting master A Xing.
"Have you developed feelings for that little girl?"
"Not really. After all, women can have whatever they want once they reach a certain level of status. I just hate Fu Linxiao's condescending attitude. He really thinks he's the crown prince of the imperial capital!"
Chen Xu recalled the Jiang family's past experiences with Helian Rui, and it became clear to him that he valued status above all else. Whether it was Chen Zirong, Mrs. Dong, or even Daisy, who had been by his side for decades, they were all mere tools for his upward mobility. He would ruthlessly discard them the day they were completely worthless. Lillian was a prime example.
Helian Rui did not respond after hearing this, but continued to stare at Chen Xu without blinking, trying to tell the truth from his face. Chen Xu's inexplicable changes during this period always made him feel unreal, although the man now was just as cold and ruthless as he expected, and even had some cruelty that even Chen Zirong had never had.
But this change was too sudden, and he was a little reluctant to believe it. After all, Chen Xu's resistance to him was so obvious at the Yunding Club.
