Chapter 288 If we're going to die, we'll die together.
Fu Beichen's eyes blazed with fury as he clenched his fists...
The woman beside him gripped Fu Beichen's arm tightly, her body trembling slightly with tension.
At this moment, Lu Qinglin and Huo Shenyuan walked over, and Huo Shenyuan said, "Since Mr. Moss is so kind, we would also like to go up and keep him company."
Unexpectedly, the butler stopped him.
"I'm sorry, sir, you only invited President Fu."
Fu Beichen considered it in silence for a few seconds, and finally compromised.
"I'll go with you."
He turned his head and handed the woman beside him to Lu Qinglin, his tone resolute: "Take Niannian and go back first."
The butler then added another sentence.
"Excuse me, Mrs. Fu, please come aboard with us as well."
Lu Qinglin retorted, "Don't push your luck."
He now regrets not reconciling with Nan Wan; if she were there, Moss would never have dared to force them onto the ship.
The butler said arrogantly, "Please don't make things difficult for me."
"You guys go first," Fu Beichen said, giving them a look before leading the woman onto the boat.
As soon as they stepped onto the deck, the huge ship started up, its engines roaring, and slowly sailed away from the port.
"Old fox."
Huo Shenyuan cursed under his breath. It seemed that leaving this place wouldn't be so easy for them.
"Chase."
Lu Qinglin made a quick decision, shouted out a single word, and walked towards a speedboat moored not far away. Their people were in the near sea, and he quickly took out his phone to send a signal.
On the deck of the large ship, the sea breeze whistled.
Moss strode forward, walking step by step toward Fu Beichen, each step carrying an imposing sense of determination.
Suddenly, a subordinate stumbled in, clutching the satellite phone tightly in his hand, his face ashen.
He rushed to Moss's side, leaned close to his ear, and whispered a few words in a barely audible voice.
Moss's body instantly tensed up like a fully drawn bow.
He stopped abruptly, his steps frozen on the deck.
Beneath the mask, a raging fire burned in his eyes, threatening to incinerate everything in sight.
His laboratory!
He invested over a billion yuan and painstakingly built up his business over several years!
They were all wiped out in one fell swoop.
Without a doubt, it was this man in front of me who did it.
And that woman, Gu Xingnian, she's definitely not out of the woods either.
Moss turned around, took a few steps to Fu Beichen, and spoke in a voice that sounded like it had been pulled out of an ice cellar.
"You destroyed my lab?"
Fu Beichen met his gaze without the slightest fear.
"The information you received is probably incomplete."
"By now, the Posi family should have been wiped out as well."
He paused, his tone calm but every word piercing.
"You have no way out. Surrender, and I'll spare your life."
"Oh."
Moss sneered.
"That's wishful thinking. The Posi family is the most prestigious noble family in Qingcheng, with a century-old foundation. You think you can just bring them down like that?"
“You should have heard the saying,” Fu Beichen said, looking at him calmly, “A thousand-mile dike can be breached by an ant hole.”
Moss's fists clenched so tightly they cracked, and the veins on his forehead throbbed.
Just then, the butler rushed over in a panic and whispered something in his ear to confirm.
Moss seemed to have all his strength drained away, and took a large step back in a daze.
impossible.
Absolutely impossible!
How could the Posi family possibly fall?
"Fu Beichen, what have you done?" he roared.
Fu Beichen's gaze was fixed intently on him.
"You never dare to show your true self because of your inherent cowardice and inferiority complex."
“Your mother left you in the capital when you were young because you were not a suitable heir in her eyes.”
"That's why you vent all your resentment on those imprisoned women, degrading them to gain satisfaction."
“Am I right, Mr. Moss? No, I should address you as…”
"Li Nanchen, Master Chen."
Li Nanchen.
The name struck Gu Xingnian's mind like a thunderbolt.
Her body involuntarily took half a step back, her eyes filled with shock.
It was him.
Young Master Li of the Li family in the capital.
They... had once danced together at a banquet in the capital.
"Hahaha...hahahaha!"
Moss suddenly burst into laughter, a laugh filled with madness and despair.
He raised his hand and decisively removed the mask from his face, revealing a cold and excessively handsome face.
When Gu Xingnian saw that face, her body trembled slightly.
It really was him.
No wonder I felt a strange sense of familiarity when I first saw him.
She still remembers that he was very charming, told her many funny jokes, was very knowledgeable, and had an exceptional way of speaking.
Who would have thought that beneath that gentle and refined exterior lay a man-eating wolf?
"Mr. Fu, those who know too much usually don't live long."
Li Nanchen casually tossed the mask on the ground and lit a cigarette.
All pretense had been stripped away, and he seemed relaxed, with a sense of nonchalant acceptance.
Fu Beichen looked at him, his gaze unchanged.
"Li Nanchen, you can't escape now. Surrender. My men are all around you."
Li Nanchen took a drag of his cigarette, and upon hearing this, lazily raised his eyes to survey the surrounding sea.
On the distant horizon, three enormous ships and several speedboats appeared out of nowhere, surrounding their vessel from three directions and forming a cage from which escape was impossible.
They were currently located at the border between Hurricane Island and Flaming Island.
This is another boundary line of the magnetic field, where there is no signal at all.
"Why should I run away? I have nothing left anyway."
"The three of you are enough to die with me."
Li Nanchen smiled, stubbed out his cigarette, and walked step by step to Gu Xingnian.
His gaze became complex, carrying a morbid infatuation.
"Miss Bai, I miss your dance that day. I never expected we would meet again in this way."
Actually, I quite like you...
Gu Xingnian turned her face away and said nothing.
His gaze was cold, yet it couldn't conceal the fear and trembling rising from the depths of his body.
Stay away from her!
Fu Beichen rushed forward and, like an eagle protecting its chicks, shielded Gu Xingnian tightly behind him.
Li Nanchen's gaze swept over the two of them. Suddenly, as if he had remembered something amusing, he turned around abruptly and grabbed the maid who had been keeping her head down.
"I almost forgot, isn't this the real Miss Bai?"
He used force and ripped off the maid's veil.
A scarred, ugly face was revealed.
Li Nanchen didn't even look at it, and skillfully peeled off the ear of that ugly face with his fingers.
A human skin mask, as thin as a cicada's wing, was torn off.
Beneath the mask was a stunningly beautiful face, made even more alluring with a touch of makeup.
That beautiful face was now filled with terror.
Her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but she couldn't utter a single word.
Finally, all she could do was shake her head desperately, her body constantly backing away.
"Nian Nian".
Fu Beichen walked over nervously and reached out to shield her behind him.
Li Nanchen snapped his fingers.
Two bodyguards immediately stepped forward, their dark gun barrels pointed at them.
Fu Beichen held the maid tightly behind him, his voice gentler than ever before.
"Niannian, don't be afraid, I'm here."
The woman behind him seemed to be provoked, shaking her head frantically and struggling to run out from behind him.
Fu Beichen held her tightly.
Li Nanchen watched the scene unfold with great interest.
"Sometimes, I really admire Mr. Fu's deep affection. He has three wives, and he can't bear to abandon any of them. He's supporting one in Penang and protecting the other two here. Tsk tsk!"
He smiled and shook his head, then suddenly stepped forward and, with a large, iron-like hand, pulled the woman out from behind Fu Beichen.
"Fu Beichen, you can only protect one of these two women."
His smile was cruel.
Which one do you choose?
The two bodyguards understood each other perfectly; one gun was pointed at Gu Xingnian's head, and the other was pressed against the maid's temple.
Fu Beichen's eyes were bloodshot as he roared in fury.
"I want both of them! Let them go, and if you want to do anything, come at me!"
Seeing this, Li Nanchen suddenly burst into exaggerated laughter.
"Fu Beichen, you're not choosing, are you?"
"Okay, I'll help you choose."
The words had barely left his mouth.
He suddenly snatched the gun from the bodyguard next to him.
So fast that it left only a fleeting afterimage.
He didn't even aim; he simply raised his arm and pointed it at the maid's heart.
"Bang!" The gunshot rang out across the sky.
These actions were so fast that Fu Beichen didn't have time to react at all.
The maid, shot, collapsed limply to the ground. Blood gushed from a hole in her chest, quickly staining her white maid's uniform red—a horrifying sight.
"Nian Nian!"
Fu Beichen roared, completely stunned.
He rushed over like a madman and knelt down beside the woman.
"Nian niang, niang niang..."
He reached out, his hand trembling, and pressed hard against her wound, trying to stop the gushing life force.
The warm blood instantly stained his slender fingers and soaked into his palm.
The other woman, the survivor, stared in terror, her body trembling violently.
She covered her mouth to stop herself from screaming, but her eyes were already brimming with tears.
"Li Nanchen!"
Fu Beichen's eyes were frighteningly red. He suddenly turned his head, his gaze as if he wanted to devour someone alive.
"I kill you!"
He roared and leaped to his feet, like a wild beast that had been thoroughly enraged, lunging at Li Nanchen with all his might.
The two men instantly started fighting.
Every punch landed with brutal force, devoid of any strategy, driven only by primal rage and hatred.
Li Nanchen's bodyguards held their guns, but were hesitant to fire, fearing the consequences.
They were terrified that a bullet might go astray and accidentally injure their own boss.
"What are you still standing there for!"
The butler shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Quick, go and catch that woman!"
The two bodyguards immediately turned around and approached the surviving woman.
The woman was terrified, and her survival instinct made her run away.
On the distant sea, several speedboats heard the gunfire and quickly surrounded the area, their silhouettes becoming increasingly clear.
The battle between Fu Beichen and Li Nanchen has reached a fever pitch.
Both were formidable opponents, and for a time they fought to a standstill.
Sudden.
Another gunshot rang out.
This time, the bullet's target was Li Nanchen.
He was holding Fu Beichen tightly when his back suddenly jolted, he let out a muffled groan, and his movements froze for a fraction of a second.
Blood quickly seeped from the back of his black shirt, staining a large area red.
It's Bai Yu.
He stood on the large ship in the distance, holding a sniper rifle, and finally found his opportunity.
Li Nanchen's brows were tightly furrowed, and the intense pain made his face turn deathly pale.
But the ruthlessness in his eyes only increased.
He suddenly became fierce, using his last bit of strength to hold onto Fu Beichen tightly.
"If we're going to die, we'll die together!" he roared.
"thump!"
The two of them fell into the cold, turbulent sea...
