Chapter 632: Hit Hard
Chi Wenyan's heart was struck hard by her words. He peeled the shrimp, dipped it in some sauce, and put it on the plate in front of her, the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise.
"I'm willing to do anything for you." He stared at her, "Ji Wan, I'm proud of you. Not because you won the battle, but because you are Ji Wan."
The Ji Wan who will never be defeated and will always shine brightly.
The night wind blew, dispersing the barbecue smoke and bringing a moment of tranquility.
Ji Wan picked up the piece of shrimp meat and put it in his mouth. The sweet and fresh taste mixed with the salty fragrance of the sauce warmed his heart.
She won this battle.
But the joy of this victory became complete and warm only because he shared it.
The Mediterranean wind, with its salty, moist, and warm scent, blew through the branches of the lemon tree and ruffled the loose hair on Ji Wan's forehead.
They were in a small coastal town in the south, with a steep cliff at their feet and an endless expanse of blue before them. Sunlight shone like golden fragments on the sea, and also on Chi Wenyan's eyes as he gazed at her.
"Here, I almost forget who I am." Ji Wan leaned on the balcony railing, holding a glass of white wine in his hand, looking more relaxed and lazy than ever before.
Chi Wenyan put his arms around her waist from behind, resting his chin lightly on her shoulder, his voice tinged with laughter: "Who are you now?"
"It's a..." Ji Wan tilted her head, her nose almost touching his cheek. Her eyes moved with a bit of cunning, "It's an ordinary woman who was abducted to the ends of the earth by you."
Chi Wenyan laughed softly, the vibration of his chest ironing her back. He tightened his arms and held her tighter.
"Then, is this ordinary woman willing to be abducted by me for the rest of her life?" His kiss gently fell on her temple.
Ji Wan didn't answer, but just raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.
Sunshine, sea breeze, lover.
Everything seemed too beautiful to be real, like a gorgeous and long dream. She almost wanted to indulge in it, forgetting all the smoke and pain of the past.
This belated honeymoon trip was Chi Wenyan's way of making up for her. He took her to the most romantic corners and tried to smooth out every tiny wrinkle in her heart with the most extreme pampering.
And Ji Wan was also happy to enjoy this peace.
The two were about to go downstairs to the most famous restaurant in town for dinner when Chi Wenyan's personal cell phone rang at an inopportune time.
He glanced at the name jumping on the screen——
It was his assistant. He frowned slightly. This number was only called in the most urgent situations.
"What's wrong?" Ji Wan keenly caught the change in his expression.
"It's okay, it might be a small matter at the company." Chi Wenyan patted her hand soothingly, walked aside and answered the phone.
"Speak." His voice was low, but still revealed the majesty of a superior.
On the other end of the phone, the assistant's voice was filled with unprecedented urgency and solemnity: "Boss Chi, something happened! Zhao Xiyue escaped from prison!"
The leisure and gentleness on Chi Wenyan's face instantly faded away, replaced by an icy coldness. His eyes suddenly became as sharp as a knife.
"When did it happen?"
"Three hours ago. She injured a prison guard. Her technique was very professional, it didn't seem like she could have done it alone. The police have issued a wanted warrant, but she seems to have vanished without a trace."
Chi Wenyan's breathing became heavier, and the air pressure around him became frighteningly low.
Zhao Xiyue.
This name was like a poisonous thorn, instantly piercing all the beautiful illusions before my eyes.
A mad woman, a mother who would do anything for her child, a lunatic who hated Ji Wan to the core. If she escaped, it was obvious who her target would be.
"Mr. Chi?" The assistant on the other end sensed the dead silence and spoke cautiously.
"Seal off all land, sea, and air exits. Use all your connections to dig her out!" Chi Wenyan's voice was cold and devoid of warmth. "Also, double the number of people to protect Nian Nian. She must be at school and home 24 hours a day! Report any signs of trouble to me immediately!"
"yes!"
After hanging up the phone, Chi Wenyan stood there. His black eyes, which had been filled with endless tenderness just now, now only showed a bottomless cold pool.
Ji Wan came over and she heard everything.
She didn't ask, but just looked at him quietly. The blood color on that face that looked comfortable and beautiful in the sun was gradually fading away, leaving only a pale coldness.
"She ran away." Ji Wan spoke, his voice was very soft, but it had the penetrating power of an ice cone.
Chi Wenyan held her cold hand, his heart tightening. "Wanwan, listen to me, I've made all the arrangements. Nian Nian will be fine. I..."
"Niannian." Ji Wan interrupted him and only said the name. The emotions surging in his eyes were the fear and overwhelming hostility that Chi Wenyan had never seen before.
That was not the ruthless killing ruthlessness of a shopping mall queen, but the most instinctive and destructive madness of a mother when her reverse scale was touched.
"Let's go back." Her voice was calm, but more heart-wrenching than any hysteria. "Now, immediately."
This romantic and dreamy journey came to an abrupt end at this moment.
The Mediterranean evening breeze was still gentle, but when it blew on the two of them, it only left a biting chill.
Ji Wan pulled his hand free, turned around and walked quickly into the room, took out his cell phone, and dialed a number that he hadn't used for a long time.
When the phone was connected, she didn't say a word and her voice was as cold as a poisoned ice blade.
"I want Zhao Xiyue's life."
The roar of the private jet seemed to tear the eardrums, but the cabin was eerily silent.
During the more than ten hours' voyage from the Mediterranean to China, Ji Wan didn't say a word.
She just leaned against the porthole, staring blankly at the rapidly retreating clouds outside the window. There was not a trace of blood on her breathtakingly beautiful face, like a delicate and fragile white jade statue.
Chi Wenyan's heart sank with every bump in the plane.
He sat opposite her, holding a cell phone that had gone dark in his hand, on which were one report after another about Lin Sen's "no trace yet".
He didn't dare to look at Ji Wan. The dead silence made him more uneasy than any hysteria.
He knew that this was the most depressing calm before the storm.
As soon as the plane landed, Chi Wenyan pulled Ji Wan down quickly without waiting for the gangway to be fully connected.
A black Bentley was already waiting on the tarmac. The assistant drove it himself. When he saw the two people getting off, he didn't even have time to say hello. He just nodded heavily and started the engine.
The car was like an arrow shot from a bow, merging into the city's traffic flow in an instant.
