Chapter 096 Face, if you want my help, you can eat it all up.
Perhaps Xiao Yan knew from the beginning that Zhang Yunqi had his reasons for leaving.
Only men can understand men. They know that if they were to love someone deeply, no one would be willing to abandon the woman they love and leave for another place unless they were forced to!
Faced with the festering sores on Zhang Yunqi's body, Xiao Yan didn't know what else he could do but remain silent.
There is a kind of love called letting go, cruelly ending one's forever for the love in one's heart! Zhang Yunqi is such a person. Xiao Yan put his hands in his pockets and looked at him with admiration. At this moment, in his eyes, Zhang Yunqi seemed to be shrouded in a layer of light.
He didn't know if he would have the courage to give up Xiaxia if he were in Zhang Yunqi's situation, but his intuition told him no! He would rather die than let Gu Mingxia forget him!
In his mind, love carries a possessive selfishness; he could never simply give up the person he loved to someone else. This is the biggest difference between him and Zhang Yunqi.
"You... intend to keep this from Liu Yan forever?"
Perhaps this way Liu Yan can forget him after returning home, but he is not Liu Yan, so how could he know what kind of relationship Liu Yan wants? Why should he unilaterally decide Liu Yan's life?
On this point, Xiao Yan absolutely disagreed with Zhang Yunqi's approach, but everyone has their own way of loving. For him, his love was a completely selfish possession, while Zhang Yunqi's was a letting go and fulfilling.
"I want her to be happy! But I'm destined to be the one who can't give her happiness! So, I'd rather she hate me than let her live her life in happiness forever!"
Mentioning Liu Yan, Zhang Yunqi's usually vacant eyes filled with tenderness again. The girl he had loved for ten years—farewell! In the days to come, you will surely find a man who deeply loves you, and under his care, you will live happily ever after!
And I will remain in your mind as a heartless scumbag. As long as you are happy, I will always wish you well!
"You have no right to make choices for Liu Yan!"
"She will definitely be happy in the future! Xiao Yan...you will help me, right?"
Zhang Yunqi smiled gently as he looked at Xiao Yan with utmost elegance. When Xiao Yan met Zhang Yunqi's harmless gaze, he suddenly felt that such a gentle look was also a form of admonition and trust.
Xiao Yan awkwardly turned his gaze to Nian Liu, who was playing in the courtyard, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Is this your daughter? She's adorable!"
"Two years ago, her parents passed away, and Liu Di and I adopted her! But... everything we've been through is the path she will have to walk in the future!"
How tragic! As Zhang Yunqi said these words, these four words flashed through her mind: she was just a child who knew nothing, and her fate had already been decided when she was still innocent!
"Alright, I'm not that gossipy! You and Liu Yan should settle your own affairs! But I hope you won't regret it later! In my opinion, loving someone is selfish; I'd rather die together than live alone!"
Xiao Yan left those words behind, then turned and walked away coolly.
Zhang Yunqi frowned thoughtfully, but only for a moment before he gently curved his lips into a smile as soft as moonlight.
Should they die together? No, he wouldn't let his beloved die with him! He only wanted Liu Yan to live happily, to be happy forever! For Liu Yan's happiness, Zhang Yunqi felt he could give up everything, including his own broken life.
"I've already called Cai Feng, and he told us we can come see him anytime!"
Zheng Liu saw Xiao Yan approaching and opened the car door for him while speaking to him. Liu Yan, who had been sitting alone in the car lost in thought, immediately suppressed her sadness and nodded to him when she saw Xiao Yan get in.
"Zheng Liu, take me to the address Cai Feng gave me!"
Xiao Yan gave the orders expressionlessly, then looked at Liu Yan, whose face was pale and who looked haggard and not in good spirits.
After Zheng Liu started the car, Liu Yan tried her best to control herself, but she couldn't help but look back at the small village that was receding into the distance. If nothing unexpected happened, she would never come here again in her life!
Zhang Yunqi… the man who had occupied fourteen years of her life would now have absolutely nothing to do with her anymore! Just thinking about this future brought tears to Liu Yan's eyes. She bit her lip, trying her best to hold back the tears.
"If you want to cry, then cry! He's just a heartless man, not worth your sadness! After you're done crying, I'll have Zheng Liu take you back to your hotel!"
"Why should I cry for him? He already has a wife and children; he's not worth my tears!" Liu Yan stubbornly held back her tears, looking defiantly at Xiao Yan. "I'm going with you to see that Cai Feng; I'm not going back to the hotel!"
She wouldn't feel at ease until she saw Xiaxia safely! Sending her back to the hotel at this time would be torture for her!
"Whatever you want!"
Xiao Yan withdrew his gaze and looked ahead at the car. This was South Africa, a foreign country. He wondered how his Xiaxia was doing, and whether Cai Feng would be willing to give Zhang Yunqi face and help him when he met him later.
But this is the only way now. He can't just sit idly by while Zheng Liu and his mercenary brothers investigate. No matter what, he has to go see Cai Feng and see if he really is as Zhang Yunqi said, that all underground transactions in South Africa have to report to him!
If he really finds Xia Xia, Xiao Yan vows that no matter what the cost, he will find the person behind Xia Xia's death! Even if he can't kill him with his own hands, he will at least let him know that anyone who dares to touch his woman will never have a good end!
"Mr. Xiao, Cai Feng is not an easy person to get along with. You must be careful when you go there."
As Zheng Liu drove, he talked to Xiao Yan about Cai Feng. Upon hearing him mention Cai Feng, Xiao Yan immediately perked up and sat up straight to look at him.
"Do you know Cai Feng? What kind of person is he, and how much influence does he have in South Africa?"
"To put it simply, Chai Feng is the underground emperor of South Africa! No matter what kind of business it is, you have to inform Chai Feng in advance, otherwise, if anything goes wrong, no one will be responsible!"
After thinking for a moment, Zheng Liu said something that surprised Xiao Yan. An underground emperor? It seems that Zhang Yunqi's suggestion to find this person was reliable.
"Moreover, Cai Feng's temper is unpredictable. Even his most trusted confidants are beaten by Cai Feng several times a month for no reason, so... Mr. Xiao, this person is definitely not easy to get along with."
Such a person! Xiao Yan felt a chill run down his spine, and some images seemed to be flashing through his mind, but he quickly suppressed them with the thought of finding Xia Xia. He closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair.
"Zheng Liu, drive faster, and tell your men to speed up their operation."
"OK!"
Zheng Liu is definitely a very qualified mercenary; he always carries out Xiao Yan's orders immediately.
Soon, the car arrived at a large private villa, which, from the outside, looked as big as several football fields. There was a group of private bodyguards patrolling around it with guns on their shoulders.
Xiao Yan and Liu Yan got out of the car and frowned as they watched the patrolling people coming and going. Zheng Liu, on the other hand, got out of the car and walked to the villa entrance. He whispered something to the guard standing there. The guard gave Xiao Yan and Liu Yan a deep look, then slung his gun over his shoulder and walked inside. A few minutes later, he came back and said a bunch of things to Zheng Liu in a language they couldn't understand. Zheng Liu then ran over.
"The guard said, 'Please let us in.'"
The three followed the guard to the most luxurious building in a villa complex and gestured for the guard to enter.
Xiao Yan led Zheng Liu and Liu Yan inside, only to find that the interior was even more luxurious. The floor was paved with pure gold, and in the center of the spacious living room was a golden chair with large diamonds inlaid on the armrests and back, which sparkled dazzlingly under the lights.
Tiger-skin rugs were laid under the chair legs, and a man of about forty years old with a small mustache sat on it. He was dressed in traditional South African clothing, and four beautiful women were massaging his back and legs.
After seeing Xiao Yan enter, she merely glanced at him before closing her eyes again to rest. Seeing that she didn't intend to speak, Xiao Yan had no choice but to speak.
"Mr. Cai Feng, I am a good friend of Mr. Zhang Yunqi. I have some things I would like to ask you for help with. I wonder if it would be convenient for you to do so..."
"I can help you if you want! I've already given Yunqi face, so I met with you! But whether I help you or not depends on whether you can earn back some face for yourself!"
Xiao Yan never expected that Cai Feng was someone who could speak Chinese. He glanced at him in surprise, but it was only a glance, and Cai Feng had already noticed.
"Don't be surprised, I'm Chinese too!"
Cai Feng reached out and pinched a beautiful woman's waist, then stood up, sat on the golden chair, and looked at Xiao Yan with a murderous aura.
"But even though we're from the same hometown, if you want my help, you still have to do what I say!"
"Alright! Since Mr. Cai Feng is going to take two jobs, then I, Xiao Yan, will definitely do what you say!"
Xiao Yan felt that if Cai Feng had said he would help them from the beginning, he would have been a little skeptical, but now that he said he would do what Cai Feng asked for first, Xiao Yan felt at ease.
"Good, Mr. Xiao is indeed decisive!" Cai Feng laughed and praised him. Then he chattered to the people around him. Soon someone carried a table and placed it in front of Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan looked closely and saw a large basin on it, filled with bloody beef. He looked at Cai Feng in confusion.
"My request is simple: if you can finish this whole bowl of beef, I will do everything I can to help you achieve whatever you want to do in South Africa!"
I am the refined Yunqi
