Chapter 280 Sir, I will kill you
The enormous ship, like a mobile fortress, slowly sailed into the distance.
Gu Xingnian just watched.
Watching it being swallowed up little by little by the thick fog at sea, until finally, not even a shadow could be seen.
Her legs gave way, and she collapsed onto the cold sand.
Tears rolled down without warning, one after another, hitting the sand and leaving small, dark marks.
She didn't know how long she had been sitting there.
Until the last vestige of hope in my heart vanished along with that ship.
When she turned around, the ice wolf was standing right behind her.
He didn't say anything, just stood there quietly, like a silent sculpture.
It was completely dark.
A thin crescent moon hung in the night sky, cold and desolate, without a single star.
"Go back." His voice was very low.
Then, he turned and walked back, with Gu Xingnian following behind, looking lost and dejected.
A section of the beach was a cliff, which was insurmountable, so they had no choice but to cross the dark, dense forest.
Ice Wolf held a simple flashlight in his hand, and the weak beam of light barely illuminated a small patch of ground beneath his feet in the boundless darkness.
He walked ahead, his tall figure completely blocking the road in front of him.
Stepping on the withered branches and fallen leaves made a "squeaking" sound.
He walked steadily, stopping every now and then to kick away the branches blocking his path, clearing a relatively clean way before letting her follow.
The chirping of insects in the forest rose and fell, dense and chaotic, making one's scalp tingle with noise.
Sudden.
The ice wolf stopped in its tracks.
He reacted almost instantly; a large hand suddenly reached out and pulled Gu Xingnian behind him.
"Clatter".
The flashlight beam went out.
The world was plunged into pure darkness in an instant.
"Don't make a sound." He lowered his voice, his tone deep and urgent.
No sooner had he finished speaking than a rustling sound came from the bushes not far away.
The commotion was quite loud, as if some enormous creature was heading their way.
Immediately following was a deep, guttural growl from a wild beast, carrying a primal and threatening tone.
Gu Xingnian was so frightened that her whole body stiffened, and she didn't dare to breathe.
She could feel the ice wolf in front of her slowly drawing something from its waist.
By the faint moonlight, she saw a gleaming, cold silver light.
It is a dagger.
He was prepared to fight.
The thing was making more and more noise and getting closer and closer.
With a piercing screech, the ice wolf roared, "Get out of the way!"
His large hand shoved Gu Xingnian away forcefully.
The next second, a huge black shadow pounced on him and knocked him to the ground.
Gu Xingnian fell to the ground, ignoring the pain, and quickly got up, hiding behind a tree.
The ice wolf and the beast rolled and fought fiercely on the ground, both making desperate noises.
Gu Xingnian guessed it just by looking at his heavy breathing and huge body.
That was a wild boar.
Ice Wolf was very agile and moved incredibly fast, but in this pure contest of strength, it still suffered a loss.
The wild boar bit his arm.
He grunted, pulled out his other hand, gripped the dagger tightly, and with all his might, stabbed the wild boar hard.
One after another.
A few minutes later, everything became quiet.
Neither the people nor the pigs made a sound.
The air was filled with a heavy, nauseating stench of blood.
"Ice Wolf".
Gu Xingnian's voice trembled as she tentatively called out and slowly moved in that direction.
Suddenly, the dark shadow on the ground moved.
Ice Wolf shoved the dead pig off him, braced himself against the ground, and shakily got to his feet.
He was somewhat unsteady on his feet.
"Are you alright?" Gu Xingnian walked over quickly.
"It's alright." He turned the flashlight back on, the beam flickering slightly. "There's a small lake ahead, keep going."
His pace slowed considerably, and Gu Xingnian followed closely behind him.
When he reached the lake, he finally couldn't hold on any longer and sat down with a thud, panting heavily.
Gu Xingnian could clearly see his left arm by the light of the flashlight.
The wound was so deep that bone was visible, and blood was gushing out, staining the entire sleeve a dark red.
"Give me the dagger." Her cold voice rang out, devoid of any emotion.
Ice Wolf glanced at her, and without hesitation, handed her the blood-stained dagger.
She walked to the lake and washed the blood off the dagger.
Then, she grabbed the hem of her white lab coat, tugged it hard, and then ripped it off.
"Sizzle—"
She tore off a clean strip of cloth.
She knelt down, picked up a strip of cloth, and began to bandage his wound.
One lap.
Two laps.
Her movements were focused, her eyes lowered, and her face was stunningly beautiful under the cool moonlight.
The ice wolf just stared at her.
She was very close, and the faint, pleasant fragrance from her hair wafted into his nostrils.
His mind wavered for a moment.
It was almost nine o'clock when they returned to the villa.
The doctor was already waiting there and immediately began to frantically treat his wound.
Gu Xingnian said nothing, walked straight back to her room, and closed the door.
At this moment, on the vast sea, the two ships had already entered the waters of Hurricane Island.
Fu Beichen's ship dared not dock.
His gaze was deep as he looked at the brightly lit Hurricane Island before him, then swept over the large ship that had already docked.
It's easy to see that the people on the ship had already been "unloaded".
Chen Sen stepped forward, his voice very low.
"President Fu, the ship that Young Master Bai sent has not been found yet; it has lost contact."
"It seems that there really is a problem with the magnetic field of Fire Island."
Fu Beichen's jawline was very taut.
"Tomorrow, you will take Li Yi with you and go to Fire Island again."
"Bring a full team and you must tear down the lab."
"Yes." Chen Sen nodded emphatically.
Not far away, a speedboat cut through the dark waves and sped towards us.
It was Lu Qinglin.
He came to pick up Fu Beichen and take him ashore; only those with a special invitation could board the island.
Just then, Fu Beichen's phone rang.
As soon as the call connected, all I heard was the old man's furious voice, which was so loud it felt like it would blow my head off.
"You little rascal, where did you take Niannian?!"
"My child cries every day until his voice is hoarse, but he still refuses to drink milk!"
"You'd better get back here by tomorrow!"
"Nian Nian's stored breast milk is almost gone! He won't drink formula either, this kid is a picky eater."
Fu Beichen felt as if he had been hit in the chest with a heavy hammer, his heart heavy and uncomfortable.
The trip was originally planned for four days, but it's already the sixth day, and we still haven't found Niannian.
"Grandpa, Niannian and I have some things to do, so we might be... a little late getting back."
His voice was a little deep.
“Send Yuyu to the Sheng family, and Madam Sheng will take good care of him.”
"Moreover, with two older sisters around, the little one might be more willing to drink milk."
Fu Shihong on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, thought for a moment, and could only reply with one sentence.
"This is the only way now!"
"Get your ass back here right now! Yu Yu's 100-day celebration is in a few days!"
"With neither parent present, what kind of behavior is this!"
"Okay," Fu Beichen replied and hung up the phone.
He climbed down the rope ladder onto the speedboat, which immediately turned around and headed towards Hurricane Island.
Fu Beichen looked at Lu Qinglin beside him, whose face was full of worry and seemed to say "Don't mess with me," and spoke coldly.
"I heard you ran into an old friend and almost lost your virginity."
"Hold!"
Lu Qinglin, unable to contain himself any longer, muttered a curse under his breath.
"That crazy woman."
Just then, an extremely luxurious yacht slowly docked.
Nan Wan walked down the street with an air of grandeur, followed by more than a dozen bodyguards in black. Her aura as a powerful older sister-in-law was so strong that it drew attention.
The Nan family is the largest gang in Country S.
To become the eldest sister-in-law, she controls hundreds of thousands of disciples from all over the world and billions of assets, and has connections in both the legitimate and criminal worlds.
This Nan Wan is no small figure. Her husband is Nan Feng, the renowned third young master of the Nan family of Qingcheng.
Nan Feng died unexpectedly, but she obtained the token of inheritance and changed her name to Nan Wan, becoming a powerful and influential figure!
Fu Beichen turned his head to look at Lu Qinglin and advised him,
"I think you could back down."
"Who knows, Miss Nan might still help us out of our past relationship."
"We're short-staffed right now, aren't we?"
"Don't even think about it!" Lu Qinglin retorted immediately, his eyes filled with disgust. "I want to beat her up whenever I see her."
The ship docked.
Lu Qinglin and Fu Beichen walked side by side toward the checkpoint.
Fu Beichen hopes that he can find Niannian here smoothly.
He didn't expect that the real Gu Xingnian was standing in the room he had searched earlier.
Tang Ling emerged from the shadows of the wardrobe.
"Miss Gu, a man came to see you today..."
Her voice was low and trembling with the shock of surviving a disaster.
"It seems to be your husband."
Gu Xingnian's heart sank suddenly.
"You saw him?"
"Yes." Tang Ling nodded. "He told me to hide well and then went to find you, but he never came back."
Gu Xingnian's eyes instantly reddened.
So, they missed each other.
Just one step away.
He must have thought he was on that ship that had already left the shore, and he chased after it.
That idiot.
"Miss Gu, is there...is there any way we can escape?"
Tang Ling's voice was choked with sobs as she desperately grabbed her sleeve.
“He will come back.” Gu Xingnian patted her hand, her tone firm without her even realizing it. “Don’t worry, I will definitely find a way to get you out of here.”
With a loud bang, the door was kicked open.
The Ice Wolf stood in front of the door with a cold expression, radiating an aura that kept strangers at bay.
In his hand, he was holding a plate of freshly sliced oranges, the orange flesh creating an eerie contrast with his coldness.
Tang Ling screamed in fright and shrank behind Gu Xingnian, trembling.
"Take him away and lock him up."
The ice wolf's voice was devoid of any warmth.
"Send it on the ship tomorrow."
As soon as he finished speaking, a bodyguard in black walked in from behind him and walked towards Tang Ling with a blank expression.
"No! Miss Gu, please, save me!"
Tang Ling was terrified and cried. She struggled with her hands and feet, but the bodyguards dragged her out without any mercy.
In the corridor, only her piercing cries and the sound of dragging remained, before gradually fading away.
"Please...don't hurt her." Gu Xingnian looked at him, her voice filled with suppressed pleading.
"You can't even take care of yourself, yet you have the mind to care about others?" Ice Wolf stared at her coldly, his eyes like knives. "When the master returns, he will definitely punish you."
He slammed the plate of oranges down on the table with a loud thud.
What he fears now is that her husband will simply "carry her away"... He doesn't want to experience that heartbreaking scene a second time.
He quickly racked his brains, trying to figure out what he could do to help her.
"You will get your comeuppance for all the evil things you've done!" Gu Xingnian glared at him hatefully, each word seemingly squeezed out from between her teeth.
Ice Wolf's eyes were icy. "You should learn how to survive first."
After he finished speaking, he suddenly took a step back and swayed.
A strong wave of dizziness washed over him, and he instinctively grabbed the door frame for support.
What happened?
The wound had clearly been treated.
Gu Xingnian's gaze fell on his face.
His lips were turning black at a visible rate.
She brushed her fingers over his fingernails, which also had an ominous bluish-purple tinge.
Finally, there was the purplish-red bloodstain seeping through his shirt on his chest.
“You’ve been poisoned,” she stated calmly.
"How is this possible?" He had barely finished speaking when he felt his limbs go numb, his body went out of control, and he fell heavily to the ground.
His breathing became rapid, each inhale feeling like pulling a broken bellows.
For the first time, panic and helplessness appeared in his usually cold and sharp eyes.
Gu Xingnian slowly squatted down in front of him.
She gently traced the purplish-red mark on his chest with her fingertips, brought it to her nose, and took a light sniff.
A strange, sweet fragrance.
That's it.
Unexpectedly, there is even a seven-colored brocade on this island!
It must have been when he was fighting the wild boar that his wound was exposed, and when he rolled on the ground, he pressed on some poisonous plants, which is why the sap seeped into the wound.
“I can save you.” Gu Xingnian’s voice was firm and without any hesitation. “In exchange, you send me and all the trapped test subjects in the laboratory off the island.”
"You can't escape." Ice Wolf forced out the words through his teeth, "The master... will kill you."
His breathing became increasingly difficult.
"He will still... violate you, only I... can protect... you."
As Ice Wolf spoke, he suddenly coughed up a mouthful of black blood, which splattered on the ground in a horrifying sight.
He had considered the possibility of dying at the hands of his enemies, but he never imagined it would be in such a humiliating way.
"Tell me, who exactly is he?" Gu Xingnian grabbed his collar, trying to dig out the truth at his last moment.
"Gu Xingnian...you are so...beautiful..."
This was the first time he had clearly called out her name, and a slow smile crept onto his lips.
"Tomorrow night...board the ship...to...Hurricane...Island..."
With his last bit of strength, he pulled a small gold token from his pocket, like a pass.
He tried to put it in her hand, but lost his strength halfway through, and the metal plate fell to the ground with a "thud".
Blood gushed from his mouth, and his body convulsed violently.
Gu Xingnian bent down and picked up the cold little card. The sharp metal edges pressed against her palm, and she gripped it tightly.
Then, her gaze fell on his waist.
She reached out and slowly touched the gleaming dagger...
