Before they could say anything, the sound of sudden brakes was heard outside the door.
“Go and have a look!”
It was the voice of the man known as the boss. As he spoke, he cautiously pulled out a weapon from his pocket. The other four men did the same, their gazes fixed on the direction outside the iron gate. Jiang Luoning looked in the direction where they were standing and saw another man beside him immediately take orders and run to check the door.
Looking around the warehouse, she saw five people, the same as the one she had heard before; but now they all held weapons, so her chances of winning were not very high. The silver needles in her cuffs had been fighting against the hemp rope, so only two were intact, and the tips of three were damaged.
While she was thinking about how to convey the information inside to the people outside the warehouse, the man who had been ordered to check it out came back.
“It’s the old man!”
From their previous conversations, Jiang Luoning already knew the identity of the old man they were talking about, but for some reason, she still trembled uncontrollably. After so long of secretly targeting each other, this was their first real meeting. Perhaps today would be the day they truly understood each other. Past lives, present lives, and all the grudges and grievances that had built up over so long had finally culminated in this moment.
As the iron gate was opened, Helian Rui walked in first, followed closely by Daisy pushing Chen Xu in a wheelchair.
Finally, seeing Jiang Luoning, who had been missing for a long time, appear in front of him unharmed, Chen Xu's expression eased a little, but it was only fleeting.
"Grandpa, have you informed Third Master Fu about Miss Jiang's visit?"
"I haven't talked to Miss Jiang yet, there's no need to be so anxious!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Xu did not say anything else. Instead, he turned his wheelchair and came to one of the men holding weapons, motioning the man to hand him the thing in his hand. The man did not move, but looked at Helian Rui with a puzzled look, asking.
Helian Rui was also a little confused when he saw this, and asked meaningfully, "Xu'er, what do you mean?"
"Grandpa, please cooperate. I just want to play a little game with Miss Jiang and Master Fu San."
Jiang Luoning was also very nervous at this time. She didn't understand Chen Xu's intention, but she didn't interrupt. She just watched the actions of several people without saying a word.
Finally, at Helian Rui's instruction, the man handed the weapon to Chen Xu. After taking it, Chen Xu played with it for a few times in his hand, then pointed the dark hole in the direction of Jiang Luoning, and then slid his wheelchair towards the little girl with a smirk on his face. Jiang Luoning looked at the somewhat crazy Chen Xu and felt even more puzzled. She couldn't believe that the man in front of her would harm her again. Her eyes were full of fear and disappointment, which was Jiang Luoning's defensive emotion.
Helian Rui was also frightened by Chen Xu's sudden action and quickly spoke out to stop her; "Xu'er, calm down! She is still useful, you can't do anything now!"
Chen Xu pretended to be nonchalant and cynically moved the hole closer to the girl's body. He asked in a teasing tone, "Oh? What else is there for it?"
"Once I use her identity to get what I want, she will be at your disposal!"
Helian Rui's voice was hurried and uneasy when he replied, as if he was afraid that Chen Xu would really cause some harm to Jiang Luoning. However, he didn't expect that the man's abnormal behavior was for exactly this purpose. He was testing Helian Rui's ultimate goal. He never understood why he had been targeting the Fu and Jiang families for so many years.
Chen Xu ignored Helian Rui, who was extremely anxious at the moment, and moved closer to Jiang Luoning step by step. Finally, when the wheelchair was pressed against the little girl's chair and could not be moved, he stopped, leaned forward, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear:
"Cooperate with me!"
The voice was low and gentle, completely different from the murderous look in the man's eyes just now. Jiang Luoning reacted instantly, repeating the man's actions and tentative words in his mind. He realized that Chen Xu was acting, and then he got into the mood, pushing the man close to him away with his shoulder, and shouted in feigned anger; "Chen Xu, don't even think about it!"
Chen Xu sat up straight, not angry, and returned to his previous crazy look.
"Don't worry, Miss Jiang! I just want to send a video to your fiancé!"
After saying that, he ignored the little girl's roar.
Chen Xu retreated silently, took out the phone from his pocket and handed it to Mrs. Daisy, who was standing there in a daze. Then he retreated to the position where he had threatened Jiang Luoning before, resumed his previous actions, and then said to Helian Rui:
"Grandpa, I'll lend you my people. Please do the same as me. I want to see what the famous Third Master Fu in our imperial capital would think when he sees so many people pushing against his beloved little girl!"
Helian Rui finally understood what the man meant, but for some reason he felt indescribable excitement in his heart. He liked Chen Xu's madness at the moment, and without hesitation he waved his hand and agreed to the man's proposal.
After receiving permission, the five people from the warehouse followed the order and surrounded Jiang Luoning. This action really frightened the little girl. She didn't forget that the hemp rope behind her had been damaged by her. She subconsciously turned her wrist to hide the damaged side, but in this situation, no one noticed the little girl's action.
"Mrs. Daisy, please!"
After everyone stood in place, Chen Xu resumed his usual scrutinizing manner and nodded slightly at the woman, being very gentlemanly.
But he didn't know that it was this harmless look, because of his ruthlessness just now, that almost scared Daisy to tremble.
Suppressing her anxiety, the woman obediently picked up her phone and clicked record...
"Master Fu San, how are you? Are you searching everywhere for your lovely wife? You should thank me for sending you a surprise right away! How about this? If you can meet one condition of mine, I'll tell you where we are!"
Helian Rui had been silently watching the man's actions. When he heard about exchanging information, the greed in his eyes couldn't be suppressed. Then he nodded at Chen Xu with satisfaction, and signaled Daisy to pause the recording.
"Xu'er, what conditions do you want to mention to the young master of the Fu family?"
"I haven't thought about it yet, but Grandpa, do you have any good suggestions?"
Chen Xu and Jiang Luoning could both see the desire in Helian Rui's eyes. Jiang Luoning understood that Chen Xu's actions were just to get more information from Helian Rui without any flaws.
What everyone didn't know was that everything that happened in the warehouse was under the surveillance of Fu Linxiao and the others. At first, they were very worried about Chen Xu's sudden change, but after noticing the man whispering in the little girl's ear and the change in the little girl's attitude, they immediately realized that this was a trap set by them.
The moment he received the video, Fu Linxiao did not rush to reply, but was thinking in his mind how to let the two of them know that their every move was now under his control.
