Chapter 832 The Sweetness Before the Storm (3)
Fu Nian'an came out of the study and glanced at the living room.
The yoga mat is still there, but I didn't see Leyan.
He turned and walked straight to the master bedroom.
The door opened, the lights were on, but Le Yan was nowhere to be seen.
Fu Nian'an paused.
"Yanyan?"
Fu Nian'an walked to the bathroom door and knocked. "Yangyang, are you in there?"
No one responded from the bathroom.
Fu Nian'an frowned and pushed open the bathroom door.
There were signs of use in the bathroom, but Le Yan was not there.
Fu Nian'an took out his phone and called Le Yan.
The phone rang several times before being answered.
Le Yan's voice came from the phone: "Hello?"
Fu Nian'an walked out of the bedroom and asked, "Yangyang, where did you go?"
"I came down to get something." Le Yan's voice sounded normal on the phone: "Are you done?"
"Yeah, I just finished."
"Then you go take a shower first, I'll come up later."
Upon hearing this, Fu Nian'an didn't ask any further questions, simply replied "okay" and hung up the phone.
He went back to the bedroom, grabbed his pajamas, and went into the bathroom.
...
In the master bedroom on the 27th floor.
Le Yan sat on the edge of the bed.
She held her phone in one hand and her bankbook in the other.
There's still ten million in the savings account.
Part of this money was intended for Lin Minsheng to build a large villa.
I had originally planned to go home in the middle of the year and find an opportunity to have a proper talk with Lin Minsheng.
But now Xu Chengyang is asking for five million.
Le Yan knew that Xu Chengyang wouldn't only do it this once.
Once she did it, she would do it again; she could never satisfy Xu Chengyang.
In fact, she knew that the most rational thing to do was to ask Fu Nian'an for help.
However, ever since she met Fu Nian'an, Fu Nian'an has been helping her.
She knew Fu Nian'an was a good person, but the more she knew that, the more unfair it felt to her.
Leyan wanted to handle this matter herself.
Le Yan didn't have the courage to tell Fu Nian'an about what happened when she was 13.
Le Yan knew that Fu Nian'an wouldn't look down on her, but she still minded.
She didn't want Fu Nian'an to know about the terrible things she had experienced...
Just imagining it made Le Yan feel overwhelmed.
Lin Leyan was ultimately far inferior to Fu Nian'an.
Liking Fu Nian'an is a very happy and wonderful thing, but this liking also makes her feel inferior.
Le Yan contacted Xu Chengyang.
Xu Chengyang had to flee, so he could only do so by water.
Le Yan and he agreed on a location to pay the money.
Xu Chengyang warned her on the phone: "You'd better not try anything funny. If I get caught, your secret will be exposed immediately. I've made all the preparations, Le Yan. As long as I can escape successfully, I will never bother you again!"
Listening to Xu Chengyang's threats over the phone, Le Yan numbly replied, "Okay."
...
Le Yan tidied herself up quickly before going upstairs.
After she left, Xia came out of the guest room.
Watching the front door close, Xia took out her phone and dialed Fu Nian'an's number: "Miss Le has come upstairs. I checked her call history. She called her neighbor Aunt Wang back home today, and there was a call from an unknown number tonight, probably from Xu Chengyang..."
...
28th floor.
Leyan unlocked the front door and walked in.
In the living room, Fu Nian'an sat on the sofa in her pajamas, a magazine on her lap.
Le Yan walked in, closed the door, took out cotton slippers from the shoe cabinet, put them on, and walked towards him.
"Have you finished showering?"
Fu Nian'an put the magazine aside and patted the spot next to her: "Go back and get something?"
Le Yan was taken aback, then realized that she had just made up an excuse, but she hadn't brought anything with her when she came up.
She pursed her lips and smiled, "I've been looking for it for ages and still can't find it. I'm always like this; I always forget things when Xiangyu isn't around. If she finds out, she'll scold me again!"
Fu Nian'an looked into her eyes.
Le Yan had just finished crying, so she washed her face and checked herself in the mirror to make sure no one could see it before going downstairs.
But now, being stared at like that by Fu Nian'an, she felt a little guilty. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her expression became somewhat unnatural. "Why are you staring at me like that?"
“Yangyang, remember what I told you: you can always trust me unconditionally, no matter what.”
Le Yan was taken aback.
Why would Fu Nian'an say something like that to her out of the blue?
Did he find out?
"you……"
The ringing of her cell phone interrupted Le Yang's words.
It's Fu Nian'an's phone.
Fu Nian'an glanced down at the incoming call, her narrow eyes slightly narrowed.
He stood up with his phone in hand: "It's a call from an overseas business partner. I'll go to the study to answer it."
"good."
Fu Nian'an took her phone and went back into the study.
Le Yan watched his retreating figure, her hands clenched into fists on her knees.
My palms were sweaty.
She thought Fu Nian'an probably didn't know yet.
Xu Chengyang wouldn't be so stupid as to go directly to Fu Nian'an.
Le Yan curled up on the sofa, feeling nervous about what she had to do tomorrow.
She felt she would probably have trouble sleeping tonight.
Fu Nian'an is such a perceptive person; he must have noticed that she's always so tense.
...
In the study.
Fu Nian'an stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
Lin Xiangyu's voice came through the phone: "Mr. Fu, I really can't take it anymore. Yanyan and I are too close. I can't keep ignoring her calls. Besides, she must have become suspicious today. She even called Aunt Wang. If this continues, I'm really afraid she'll find out one day!"
“The premiere is the day after tomorrow,” Fu Nian’an said. “The foreign medical team will arrive in Beicheng in the next couple of days, and the people Chu Xing arranged will arrive in Mincheng tomorrow. Hang in there a little longer. At least wait until Uncle Lin’s condition improves before letting her know. Otherwise, I’m afraid she won’t be able to handle the current situation.”
“I understand your good intentions. Yanyan regards Uncle Lin as the most important family member in her life. If Uncle Lin were gone, she would be devastated. I also support your approach. Keeping it from her is always the safest and most reliable way. However, I also know her. It's not a solution for me to always avoid her. Why don't you consider letting me go to Beicheng? At least I have to be there for the premiere, otherwise she will definitely become suspicious!”
"Yes, you can come to the premiere. I'll have Chu Xing arrange a private jet. When Lin Minsheng is transferred to the Beicheng Sanatorium tomorrow, just pretend you're coming from your hometown and say it's a surprise for her."
"That's good. If Leyan is in a good mood, she won't overthink things."
Fu Nian paused for a moment, then said, "Xu Chengyang must have contacted her today, but she doesn't seem to want to tell me about it."
"Huh?" Lin Xiangyu was shocked. "Then do you know why Xu Chengyang sought her out?"
“I’m still investigating, but Xu Chengyang is a wanted criminal now. If I’m not mistaken, Xu Chengyang is threatening her, and his goal is still to get money.”
"The only thing he could use to threaten Le Yan was..." Lin Xiangyu almost let slip, "I, I don't know..."
"It's alright, I'll handle this." Fu Nian'an's voice was low. "Tomorrow you just need to pretend you're coming from your hometown, give her a surprise, and then spend a few days with her."
“Okay, I understand.” Lin Xiangyu paused for a moment, then said, “Mr. Fu, you are a very good person. It is Le Yan’s good fortune to meet you and be treated with such sincerity by you.”
Fu Nian'an smiled faintly, her voice low and deep, "As long as Le Yan is willing, I will never let her down."
After hanging up the phone, Fu Nian'an immediately called Chu Xing and said, "Contact the police and tell them you have news about Xu Chengyang."
Having arranged everything, Fu Nian'an put away her phone.
He gazed at the night outside the window, his eyes cold and distant.
If nothing unexpected happens, Xu Chengyang will definitely be arrested tomorrow.
Hopefully, starting tomorrow, those nightmares that belong to Le Yan will come to an end.
