Chapter 333 Love Has Sinked to the Sea
“Alright, Second Uncle, we’ll still stand on the same side.”
Lin Xuesha smiled wickedly and asked, "What's your plan?"
Fu Hongkai said, "Isn't Fu Shenyuan's son on good terms with you? This is the best bargaining chip. If you control that child, you'll control both Fu Shenyuan and Jiang Ranxing. Go ahead and do it. You can use my people as you please."
The dark-skinned man and the others, though unwilling to listen to a woman, could only resign themselves to their fate and nod in agreement.
"Let me think about it." Lin Xuesha gave a cruel and terrifying smile.
Fu Shenyuan, Jiang Ranxing, you both have to pay the price for your actions!
On the eve of Jiang Yan and Mia's wedding, Jiang Ranxing is helping Mia choose her wedding dress and accessories.
"Sister Ranxing, which of these wedding dresses do you think suits me best?"
With their keen sense as designers, Jiang Ranxing and Mia began to professionally examine the cut of the wedding dress and the wearer herself.
"A wedding dress with heavy rhinestones and a large volume is more gorgeous, but the lighter satin strapless dress is more suitable for your style. Your temperament is more lively and agile, and the rhinestone wedding dress is a bit too much for your temperament."
Mia replied, "My sister and I think the same thing, let's go with this one, I like it too."
"Okay, let's go pick out some suitable jewelry later."
"Okay, but let's rest for a while. I've been changing into my wedding dress all morning, and I'm a little tired. Let's go get some food."
"Okay, I know you're hungry. I've already made a reservation at a restaurant. Let's go."
During lunch, Mia said, "Sister Ranxing, I really didn't expect we would become a family. I feel so happy, but it also feels unreal. Could this just be a dream? Will my dream suddenly end?"
Jiang Ranxing gently pinched her cheek and asked, "Is this still a dream?"
Mia smiled happily.
"So it was all true after all. That's wonderful."
“I’m also very happy that you and my brother can be together. My brother is a good person, but he’s been used to being alone for so many years, so his personality might not be the best. However, I hope that you can get along better after you get married.”
"We definitely will, we'll both be happy," Mia said. "By the way, sister, I'd like your child to be my flower girl, what do you think?"
"Of course! I'll bring Yiyi out another day, and he'll be very happy to go."
Preparations for the wedding were proceeding smoothly, and the romantic and grand wedding was gaining momentum.
After Jiang Ranxing told Fu Xingyi about being a flower girl, he felt very excited.
"Of course! I'm happiest that my mom is willing to let me be a flower girl."
Fu Xingyi showed no resistance whatsoever, accepting whatever was said.
Jiang Yan and Mia's wedding was ultimately decided to be a beach wedding, which was romantic and touching.
Before the wedding, Jiang Yan and Mia held a party on the beach. The band played a cheerful and dynamic sonata, and everyone danced to the music. The twilight on the beach gradually turned pinkish-purple, hanging on the horizon, so beautiful that it was simply mesmerizing.
The sound of the gentle waves was a natural stress reliever. Jiang Ranxing leaned back in the recliner, her heart softening into a vast ocean.
As night fell, everyone returned to the seaside hotel. The bride and groom went to bed early, while workers were still setting up the wedding venue on the beach. Jiang Ranxing was about to leave when she didn't notice several unusual figures mixed among the workers. A dark-skinned man stared at Jiang Ranxing and secretly took a picture of her.
The nights at the beach are peaceful and beautiful, but dangers lurk in the darkness.
In the darkness, the door to the room where Jiang Ranxing and her son were located was opened with a master key card.
No matter how quietly she moved, the people inside the house noticed.
"Who are you, waaaah—" Before Jiang Ranxing could finish speaking, she smelled a foul odor, and then everything went black before her eyes, and she lost consciousness.
The wedding took place as scheduled the next day. Everything was as beautiful as a painting. The romantic seaside wedding allowed every guest to feel a unique romantic atmosphere.
After Mia finished her hair and makeup and changed into her wedding dress, while the makeup artist was touching up her makeup, Mia looked around but didn't see Jiang Ranxing.
Jiang Yan came over and asked, "What's wrong? What are you looking at?"
"I haven't seen Sister Ranxing, and I haven't seen Little Xingyi either. Where did they go?"
Jiang Yan shook his head: "No, shouldn't they not live with you?"
Mia asked in confusion, "I haven't seen them since this morning. I thought they went to your side."
Both of them felt uneasy, sensing that some kind of danger might have been quietly approaching.
"Go find them! Go find where Miss and Young Master are! Go find them now!" Jiang Yan instructed his assistant.
Jiang Yan's assistant immediately connected to the hotel's entire communication system and retrieved the locations of Jiang Ranxing and Fu Xingyi. Surprisingly, they discovered that the two had not made any moves since the morning.
When all else failed, Jiang Yan traced the incident back to the previous night and discovered something amiss: a period of surveillance video had mysteriously disappeared. After that period, Jiang Ranxing and Fu Xingyi never came out of the room again.
Just then, Fu Shenyuan, who had come to attend the wedding, stumbled upon Jiang Yan instructing his men to search for news of Jiang Ranxing.
"What happened! What's wrong with Ranxing?!"
Fu Shenyuan stopped Jiang Yan and asked, "What happened between her and her son?"
Jiang Yan didn't want to stop them at this point, so he told them the whole story.
"Don't worry, I'll send someone to find Ranxing," Fu Shenyuan comforted him. "There are many guests at the wedding, and you, as the groom, can't leave. Don't worry, leave Ranxing and the child to me."
Although Fu Shenyuan said that, he had no idea what to expect.
“They’ll be fine. You finish the wedding first,” Fu Shenyuan said, then waved his hand. “Tan Shen, send people over to investigate.”
Fu Shenyuan thought of a terrifying possibility: if it were Fu Hongkai, things would become very dangerous.
At this time, in an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of the city.
"Cough cough cough cough..." Jiang Ranxing, choked by a cloud of smoke, barely opened his eyes. After moving slightly, he found that his hands and feet were bound.
A chill rose from the bottom of my heart and spread throughout my body.
*Whoosh!* Jiang Ranxing gasped for breath as icy water poured over her head, startling her so much that her vision went black and she was speechless.
After a while, Jiang Ranxing came to his senses and saw the scene before him: a dilapidated warehouse filled with smoke and lifelessness.
"Get up now if you're awake, don't pretend to be dead." A female voice rang out, and Jiang Ranxing immediately looked up.
"Lin Xuesha... what do you want to do!"
Lin Xuesha said directly, "Can't you tell, Jiang Ranxing, that you want to die?"
Jiang Ranxing looked at the smug smile on Lin Xuesha's face, which was full of mockery.
"Are you crazy, Lin Xuesha? Do you even know what you're doing?"
Lin Xuesha retorted angrily, "What do you know, you bitch! It's all because of you! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be in this state, and Fu Shenyuan wouldn't treat me like this! It's all because of you!"
Jiang Ranxing calmly said, "I haven't done anything to you. On the contrary, you impersonated Fu Shenyuan's savior. Does this have anything to do with me? Should I bear these responsibilities?"
"Of course it's because it's you! Fine, since you're going to die today anyway, there's no harm in telling you some things, since everything that's happening today is related to you!"
Jiang Ranxing was startled.
Lin Xuesha wanted to kill her!
This woman is insane.
At this moment, Fu Hongkai also walked over and said, "Lin Xuesha! I've already told you, we're only using her to threaten Fu Shenyuan, not to kill her. Don't do anything rash!"
Lin Xuesha couldn't care less about anything else now. Seeing Jiang Ranxing's face filled her with extreme resentment, as if all the misfortunes she had encountered were caused by Jiang Ranxing.
“You’re being completely unreasonable! You need to understand that even if you kill Jiang Ranxing, you still won’t get what you want. Calm down!” Fu Hongkai said.
Lin Xuesha barely regained her composure and took a few steps back, while Fu Hongkai stepped forward.
"Burning Star, don't be afraid. I don't want to hurt you. I just need you to do me a favor. If you're willing, everything is fine."
"What kind of help?" Jiang Ranxing asked, looking at him.
"Call Fu Shenyuan and tell him you need all the shares of the Fu Group. Have him prepare a blank share agreement with your signature, and then have him come over alone to exchange them with you. That way, you and your son will be safe. Otherwise, I can't guarantee your safety."
“Vice President, your method is clearly not honorable. Even if you manage to obtain those shares through me, the charges against you will not be erased, and you will not be able to become the head of the Fu Group.”
Fu Hongkai scoffed twice: "Who told you I was going to take control personally? I'm going to sell all the shares, cash out everything, and get back the money that belongs to me."
Jiang Ranxing was startled, realizing that the mentality of a fugitive was no longer the same as before.
"Where is my son? Where is he?"
"Of course I can't tell you that unless you agree to my request."
Jiang Ranxing could only say, "I can't guarantee that. Compared to that kind of wealth, do you think Fu Shenyuan would be willing to exchange all his wealth for it?"
"How will you know if you don't try? Besides, you really underestimate your position in Fu Shenyuan's heart. Back when the old man was still alive, Fu Shenyuan was willing to stand up to him for you. You underestimate your own position too much."
Jiang Ranxing was shocked. What exactly had Fu Shenyuan done without her knowledge?
"Alright, I'm not going to waste any more words with you. Someone come over here, film the video, and send it to Fu Shenyuan!"
Soon after, Fu Shenyuan received a video, which immediately threw him into a state of panic.
Following the instructions in the video, Fu Shenyuan returned the call: "Where is the location?"
“The abandoned seafood factory on the outskirts of the city. Remember, if you come here alone with your belongings, and I find out that you dare to call the police or bring other people with you, your woman and son will not live to see the light of day.”
"Okay, but remember this: if you want what you want, make sure they are safe, otherwise you won't get anything."
Having no other choice, Fu Shenyuan prepared the documents by himself, got in the car, and drove to the outskirts of the city.
More and more people gathered at the wedding, but no one knew what had happened between Fu Shenyuan and Jiang Ranxing's family.
In the same time and space, beauty and threat coexist.
When Wen Qingrang also attended the wedding and offered his blessings to the newlyweds, he overheard some rumors and also had people investigate the matter. However, his information was a little slower than Fu Shenyuan's.
Fu Shenyuan stepped into the seafood factory, which was filled with the salty and fishy smell, and saw Jiang Ranxing tied to a beam from a distance.
Her hair was disheveled, and she was soaking wet; she looked utterly pitiful.
"Burning Star!"
As Fu Shenyuan tried to step forward, he was stopped by the dark-skinned man and several burly men: "President Fu! Don't be in such a hurry, where are the things?"
Fu Shenyuan casually tossed the file folder in his hand away.
"Release them!"
Fu Hongkai took the document, glanced at it, and then grinned maliciously: "Tie him up too!"
Fu Hongkai's sudden betrayal startled Jiang Ranxing: "Be careful!"
But it was all too late.
Fu Hongkai never just wanted money; he was the one who wanted Fu Shenyuan dead the most.
Violence and insults have always existed.
When Fu Hongkai tied them both up and pushed them to the beach, Lin Xuesha was the first to step forward.
"Shen Yuan! Promise to come with me, okay? Let's forget about Jiang Ranxing and leave together. Let's start over abroad, get married, okay? I'll never leave you. Let's live our lives together, okay?"
Fu Shenyuan's face still had that cold expression.
"Enough, Lin Xuesha, I don't love you, we can't be together."
Fu Shenyuan's gaze toward her was always cold, but his gaze toward Jiang Ranxing was full of warmth and affection.
"Fu Shenyuan! Are you really going to die with this bitch instead of leaving with me? Have you lost your mind? I'm the woman you should cherish! Have you forgotten what happened between us?!"
Fu Shenyuan looked at her coldly: "You've lied to me for so many years, are you going to keep lying to me? What do you take me for?"
"You...you knew all along?"
"I didn't want to say this out loud, but you still used the name of Starlight to deceive me. You've never been sincere with me at all."
Fu Shenyuan said coldly, "Lin Xuesha, disappear from my sight. I never want to see your face again."
Lin Xuesha's expression gradually became more and more frightening.
"Fine, Fu Shenyuan! How could you treat me like this? Fine, since you're like this, you won't die with Jiang Ranxing, will you?"
Lin Xuesha stood up and walked to Fu Hongkai's side.
Fu Hongkai said, "Don't you feel sorry for him anymore?"
Lin Xuesha: "There's nothing to feel sorry for. Let them both die together."
The tide was rising and had already reached Fu Shenyuan and Jiang Ranxing's calves.
Fu Hongkai and Lin Xuesha wanted to drown them both in this sea.
Even in this life-or-death situation, they both remained calm.
"Burning Star, I'm sorry. I wanted to give you a happy life, but I'm afraid that's not possible now. Will you be scared later?"
Jiang Ranxing thought for a moment and said, "Whether you're afraid or not, it's probably going to be like this anyway, so let's face it calmly."
Fu Shenyuan smiled and comforted her: "I'm sorry. If we meet again in the next life, I will definitely treat you well from the beginning and never mistreat you again."
"...Okay, I hope you keep your word, otherwise we probably won't have the chance to meet again."
The seawater gradually rose to their waists and hips. Soon, they would be too weak to struggle and would completely lose contact with oxygen in the dead sea.
We are destined to be husband and wife in this life, and I hope we can meet again in the next life.
When the water reached her neck, Jiang Ranxing could hardly breathe anymore and gradually lost consciousness. Fu Shenyuan, being taller, was still able to breathe normally.
When faced with a life-or-death situation, he would still feel immense pain and reluctance.
All suffering becomes especially evident and painful in the final moments of life.
"Burning Star! Burning Star! I beg you, wake up! Don't sleep!"
Fu Shenyuan knew very well what he was thinking: no matter the cost, he wanted Jiang Ranxing to live.
"Fu Hongkai! Release Ranxing, and I'll give you anything you want! Just let Ranxing live! I beg you!"
Fu Hongkai stood on the beach, watching indifferently: "Really? President Fu is willing to do anything?"
"Anything is fine!"
Fu Hongkai said, "Kneel down in front of me and beg for mercy, transfer all your assets to me, and then use that to commit suicide, and I will release your woman."
The meaning of endless humiliation was that he wanted to grind away all of Fu Shenyuan's dignity and then make him die in humiliation.
"I'm willing, let's bring out the Burning Star first!"
"Go, drag that woman out."
Then, Fu Shenyuan was pushed and forced to kneel in front of Fu Hongkai, and a sharpened knife was thrown in front of him.
"Come on, let your second uncle see your sincerity."
Fu Shenyuan's hands were untied, and he could only move his hands. He saw Jiang Ranxing cough for a while after being pulled out of the water, and then resume breathing.
At that moment, he almost cried, and wanted to pray to God that happiness would fall into her hands.
She shouldn't suffer anymore. She deserves happiness and to be loved, even if the person who gives her that love won't be him anymore.
After Fu Shenyuan smiled, he seemed relieved and begged for mercy for love again and again until Fu Hongkai was satisfied.
"Alright, let's get going, my good nephew. Your second uncle will take good care of the Fu family for you."
Fu Shenyuan slowly raised his knife, but his eyes fell on the back of Fu Hongkai. He saw Tan Shen and his men approaching. Perhaps if they delayed a little longer, there would be a turning point.
But danger came even faster.
When Lin Xuesha saw that Jiang Ranxing had survived because Fu Shenyuan had risked his life for her, she went berserk and charged at Jiang Ranxing with a knife.
"You bitch! You're not going to live! You deserve to die! Just die!"
Lin Xuesha's knife tip was aimed at Jiang Ranxing, but with a soft thud, the knife tip didn't land on Jiang Ranxing's neck; instead, it landed on the same spot—Fu Shenyuan's heart.
Blood gushed out, and Fu Shenyuan clutched the hilt of the knife to his chest, but the suffocating pain could not be relieved.
"Shen Yuan!"
"Fu Shenyuan, you!"
Fu Shenyuan's body was stiff and unable to move. He plunged headfirst into the seawater and gradually sank into the deeper Black Sea.
