The 109th decision: to search every inch of South Africa to find her.
If 109 is lost, we will search every inch of South Africa to find her.
As soon as Fu Heng started the car after hanging up the phone, Fu Ya called.
"Third Brother, hurry to our family's helipad."
Before Fu Heng could speak, Fu Ya hung up the phone. Although puzzled, Fu Heng turned the car around and drove straight to the Fu family's helipad.
Fu Heng arrived at the heliport in less than half an hour. As soon as he got out of the car, he saw Fu Ya, dressed casually and wearing a baseball cap, standing by the helicopter and waving to him.
"Third Brother, over here! Hurry up!"
Fu Heng frowned, instinctively assuming that the Fu family had some issue that required his attention. Although somewhat displeased, he still walked towards Fu Ya. Watching his third brother stroll leisurely, Fu Ya felt a surge of anxiety. What kind of time was this? How could he be so relaxed? Wasn't he afraid that Gu Mingxia had been killed in South Africa?
Fu Ya sighed, truly unable to understand whether Fu Heng, raised with such refined manners, was a good person or a bad one! He always kept all his emotions buried deep inside, making him seem the gentlest, yet actually the most dangerous! Because you never knew whether his smile concealed kindness or ruthless, merciless methods!
"Why did you send me to the airport in such a hurry? You're not going to cause trouble again, are you?!"
"Third Brother, in your heart I'm just a troublemaker!"
Fu Ya grabbed Fu Heng's arm, trying to get him onto the helicopter. Fu Heng stared at the hand gripping his arm, his eyes slightly cold. Fu Ya quickly realized the meaning behind his germaphobic third brother's gaze and immediately pulled his hand away.
"Um... Daddy asked me to go to South Africa with you. So... wouldn't it be faster by helicopter?"
"In that case, let's hurry up and leave!"
Fu Heng smoothed the clothes that Fu Ya had grabbed, then gracefully boarded the helicopter. Fu Ya watched him go, shaking his head repeatedly. "No wonder you can't get any women. With your slow and hesitant manner, what woman would wait for you? If it weren't for the fact that you're my third brother, I'd really like to tell you, 'No wonder you're single!'"
The two brothers boarded the helicopter, and the pilot immediately began flying towards South Africa. Fu Heng's expression was gentle, and there was no anxiety in his eyes. However, a ruthless and resolute glint occasionally flashed in his refined and gentle eyes. These fleeting expressions revealed that he was feeling more distressed than anyone else.
In the evening, the helicopter landed at the airport owned by Fu Hongye. After landing, Fu Heng and Fu Ya got off the helicopter one after the other.
"Third Brother, should we go to Third Uncle's place first or Fifth Uncle's place?"
"Let's go see Fifth Uncle first!"
Fu Heng stood with his hands in his pockets, his brows slightly furrowed, watching the setting sun with an intense, unwavering worry in his eyes.
Mingxia, where are you? In this vast South Africa, where should I look for you?
He sighed inwardly, and when he turned to look at Fu Ya, a smile appeared on Fu Heng's face again.
"Drive to Uncle Wu's place!"
Over the years, the Fu family has gradually handed over South Africa to Fu Hongye and Fu Honghai. As the successor of the Fu family, Fu Heng felt it was necessary for him to personally handle some matters.
Fu Hongye's villa is located in a mountainous area of South Africa. The entire villa is decorated in an exceptionally quiet and secluded manner. If one did not know his profession, one would think that the villa belonged to a refined scholar or poet.
"Fifth Uncle, it's been a long time."
Fu Heng sat with Fu Ya in the living room of Fu Hongye's villa. Fu Hongye was fifty years old this year, but because he took good care of himself, he looked like he was in his forties and did not look old at all.
He was dressed in a Tang suit, with a head of black hair and few wrinkles on his face. Time seemed to have left few marks on him, leaving only a mature man's charm and a sense of vicissitude.
He held a fine purple clay teacup and looked at Fu Heng and Fu Ya with a gentle and refined smile on his face. His appearance was naturally scholarly, and with this outfit and such a smile, he didn't look like a gang leader at all, but rather had the air of a scholar.
Like Fu Heng, Fu Hongye always wore an elegant and proper smile, a smile that was like a mask, making it impossible for anyone to guess what thoughts were hidden beneath it.
"The last time I saw you, Hengheng was only seven years old, and Yaya was just learning to walk! In the blink of an eye, you've all grown up so much. You really can't deny that you're getting old!"
"Fifth Uncle, what are you saying! Looking at your clothes and demeanor, you don't look as old as you say. If the two of us went out, people would definitely mistake us for brothers. And I guarantee that a handsome older man like you will definitely attract more attention from girls than someone like me who's always laughing and joking!"
Fu Ya was always eloquent, and these few words made Fu Hongye laugh heartily. He pointed at Fu Ya and shook his head with a smile. After putting down his teacup and catching his breath, Fu Hongye finally spoke.
"You're so sweet-talking! You must know how much you have to flatter your parents at home, right?"
Before Fu Ya could speak, Fu Heng leaned forward slightly, his smile still gentle, but it never reached his eyes.
"Fifth Uncle, do you still remember Cai Feng?"
“Of course I remember! Over the years, following your father's wishes, my third brother and I have gradually withdrawn from our activities in South Africa. Now, all the underground transactions in South Africa are controlled by Cai Feng! His power is also gradually growing stronger. Your third uncle and I are getting old... But it doesn't matter. New talents emerge in every generation. It's good for us to retire. Given the current situation, if your third uncle and I didn't withdraw, we would really cause you trouble! So you see, I've been living in seclusion in the mountains for a long time!”
Unethical practices are never a sustainable solution. A family's prosperity and development depend on conducting business in accordance with the law. Their talk of shady dealings always goes against the law. Although this is South Africa and shouldn't cause much trouble for the Fu family, Fu Hongye still thinks it's best to be careful!
The children have all grown up, and society no longer needs crooked paths. They have also reached the age to retire and enjoy their retirement.
"What, did Cai Feng do something to offend the Fu family?"
Fu Hongye frowned and asked uncertainly.
It was he who brought Cai Feng to South Africa. Because they were both from the Fu family, he took good care of him in the underworld. If he caused trouble for his elder brother and the others because of his momentary soft heart, Fu Hongye felt that he would really become a sinner of the Fu family!
"It's not really a big problem. He kidnapped one of my friends, and now, according to reports, he used a bomb to kill him in an abandoned villa!"
"Is that so? How come I didn't hear a word about it?"
Fu Hongye frowned even more. Cai Feng's real name was Fu Xuefeng. He was just a distant nephew of the Fu family, not even five degrees of kinship. Years ago, he was heartbroken and wanted to commit suicide. Fu Hongye happened to be returning to China and took him to South Africa out of pity. From that time on, Fu Xuefeng changed his name to Cai Feng.
The Fu family knew about this matter, but in recent years, as Fu Honghai and Fu Hongye gradually retired, Cai Feng's arrogance began to grow, and he no longer respected them as before.
"I just found out about this from a friend! Fifth Uncle, the person who was kidnapped and killed by Cai Feng was named Gu Mingxia, the only heir of Gu Huaikun, the richest man in Xiangcheng! The Gu family doesn't know about this yet, but if they do, they definitely won't let our Fu family off the hook! The Gu family's power is not as simple as we see it. Moreover, Gu Huaikun's wife's family is one of the top families in East Asia. Fifth Uncle, the Gu family... is not one we can afford to offend!"
Over the years, no matter how much the Gu and Fu families have fought in the business world, they have never harmed each other's lives. Now, if Cai Feng really blows up the Gu family's heir... one can imagine that with Gu Huaikun and the power of the Gu family, the Fu family will be busy for several years.
Fu Hongye frowned, his fingers tapping incessantly on the table. After a long while, he abruptly stopped tapping and looked at Fu Heng.
"Are the Gu family members definitely dead?"
"No! The villa was just bombed into ruins, but the people... can't be found!"
Fu Heng's brows furrowed slightly. He always felt a pang of heartache when he talked about this. Although he believed that Gu Mingxia was still alive, the pain still lingered when he mentioned the bombing of Mingxia.
"Thank goodness he's not dead!" Fu Hongye breathed a sigh of relief, then turned and shouted out the window, "Go and call Cai Feng over!"
Someone answered from outside the window, and Fu Hongye turned to stare at Fu Heng for a long time before finally smiling.
"Hengheng, you never get involved in these kinds of things, why are you suddenly so concerned about the Gu family?"
"Fifth Uncle, you don't know this! The Gu family's daughter is the woman Third Brother has always liked. If it weren't for the crisis the Fu family faced seven years ago, she would be the third young mistress of the Fu family now... What a pity..."
Fu Ya seized the opportunity to gossip a bit, but before he could finish speaking, he felt a chill sweep over him. He pulled his neck in, pressed himself against the sofa, and tried to make himself inconspicuous.
Hey, Third Brother, I know there's a chill in your eyes, but you don't have to show it so quickly! It's only because I'm your brother with a strong mentality that I'm left. If it were anyone else, they would have been frozen into an icicle by your sub-zero temperatures!
"Oh! So that's the reason behind it!"
Fu Hongye looked as if he had just realized something, and a smile appeared in his eyes as he looked at Fu Heng.
"Since she's the woman Hengheng likes, your fifth uncle will naturally help you find her!"
"Fifth Uncle, I made up my mind on the helicopter to South Africa that even if I have to search the entire country, I will find Mingxia! If it really was Cai Feng who did it, I will never let him off easily, not even if he is a member of the Fu family!"
