He spoke with a sense of fearlessness, as if facing death.
He wanted to preserve his last shred of dignity.
Unfortunately, at this moment, he was kneeling on the ground, which was definitely not dignified.
In fact, Chen Fan completely ignored his words and instead looked at the killer next to him.
"Someone from the Bai family?"
The man shuddered, clutching his stomach with a look of terror on his face.
His injuries were extremely serious, and he was clearly on the verge of collapse.
"I...can't say."
Chen Fan nodded, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and lit one in front of his partner.
"The truth is, I don't care who sent you to kill me."
"If your target is me, then I don't care at all."
“But your target is my child, then I can only say that you are dead.”
“I have many enemies, but I know one family that could come up with such a treacherous scheme.”
"So your answer isn't particularly important to me."
"However, it is very important to you."
"If you confess honestly, I can give you a quick and dignified death."
"If you don't cooperate, you will die a very painful death."
Upon hearing this, the murderer's already pale face turned even paler.
After waiting a few seconds and seeing that the guy didn't react, Chen Fan nodded.
"He has backbone."
He got up and walked out of the courtyard.
"I'll talk...I'll talk..."
Ultimately, the killing machine couldn't hold on any longer.
He took the initiative to beg for mercy.
"It was...it was the Bai family who sent me."
"They've always held a grudge against you, which is why they want you to experience the pain of losing a loved one."
Chen Fan nodded and continued, "How many people do you have left in Yunhai?"
“No…no more.”
"The head of the family has placed someone by your side, and that person is Zhou Yun."
"That's why Zhou Yun hasn't taken any action, so the patriarch planned this mission."
"We were originally here to provide support for him..."
After speaking, the man glanced at the horse beside him, his eyes filled with despair.
"Apart from these, I know nothing else."
Chen Fan nodded. He turned back and put the cigarette from his pocket into his partner's mouth.
At this point, the guy resigned himself to his fate.
After biting down on the cigarette, he took a deep drag, as if to savor the last taste of the moment.
The horse knelt on the ground, thinking that after President Chen finished asking the questions, he would continue to interrogate him.
He secretly hoped that his boss would be generous and forgive him this time, giving him another chance.
As a result, Chen Fan didn't even look at him and walked straight out of the courtyard.
And that's how they left.
Suddenly, the horse collapsed to the ground, as if it had lost its soul.
...
Half-house villa.
Chen Fan and Su Ruochu returned together.
In the courtyard, Zhou Yun was holding her child and basking in the sun.
At the doorway, Mr. Chen and Mr. Su were playing chess.
Chen's mother and Su's mother were sitting in the living room picking vegetables.
The atmosphere was harmonious, and no one knew what had happened at noon.
Su Ruochu was also unaware that Chen Fan had accompanied her to the hairdresser, but then said he had something to do and went out for a while, so Su Ruochu was unaware of what had happened that afternoon.
Zhou Yun watched the two enter the house, her heart leaping into her throat.
She knew that what was bound to happen was bound to happen.
The time has come to decide my own fate.
Will the boss... let me off the hook?
She is very nervous.
Zhou Yu glanced at the baby in his arms, and his eyes reddened.
You can't blame anyone else.
If you have something to blame, you can blame yourself.
She comforted herself in this way, seemingly accepting her fate.
About ten minutes later, Su Ruochu came out of the villa.
Zhou Yun quickly adjusted her expression and smiled at Su Ruochu.
"This hairstyle suits you very well today."
Su Ruochu smiled and said, "I also really like this hairstyle. I chose it because it's very cute."
As he spoke, he reached out and took the child from him.
"I'll do it."
"Guoguo, do you miss Mommy? Smile, smile!"
Su Ruochu teased the child for a few moments, then turned to Zhou Yun and smiled.
"By the way, come downstairs. Chen Fan wants to talk to you."
Zhou Yun's expression changed slightly, and then she nodded somewhat awkwardly.
“Okay…Okay.”
He quickly turned around and entered the villa, upstairs, and arrived at the door of Chen Fan's study.
Standing at the door, Zhou Yun straightened her clothes, took a deep breath, and decided to face her fate with equanimity.
Knock on the door.
"Come in."
Chen Fan's voice came from inside the house, and Zhou Yun then pushed open the door and went in.
In the study, Chen Fan stood by the window and made a phone call.
Zhou Yun stood timidly to one side, not daring to speak or utter a word.
After talking for about five minutes, Chen Fan finally hung up the phone.
He turned and glanced at Zhou Yun, then walked to the desk and sat down.
Look up and look this way.
Although she was sitting, Zhou Yun suddenly felt as if she were being looked down upon and scrutinized.
She couldn't muster any thoughts of resistance when facing Chen Fan.
Chen Fan stared at Zhou Yun for a while, then suddenly spoke.
"When will you start working for the Bai family?"
Zhou Yun trembled and quickly whispered, "When I was sixteen."
“I was taken away from the orphanage by the Bai family and have been working for them ever since.”
"At first, I worked as a waitress at a club owned by the Bai family. Later, they saw that I was pretty, so they gave me special training, making me learn music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, in preparation for bribing certain high-ranking officials..."
"But then the Bai family suddenly changed their minds and sent me to Yunhai."
Chen Fan nodded.
Why hasn't it been moved?
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yun's body trembled slightly.
"I...I...can't get down."
"President Chen and Sister Su have been very good to me. Your parents also treat me like family."
“I’ve worked here for so long, and you’ve never treated me like an outsider.”
"I...cannot do anything to betray you."
Chen Fan gave a sarcastic smile, "It seems that the Bai family's training of you was not quite up to par."
Zhou Yun lowered her head, not daring to speak.
Chen Fan continued, "Did you pass on my information to the Bai family?"
Zhou Yun nodded.
"Passed on."
Chen Fan said calmly, "The last time I was assassinated, it must have been because you passed on the message, right?"
Zhou Yun lowered her head, clutching the hem of her clothes with both hands.
"I...I didn't know they were going to assassinate President Chen. I...I'm sorry."
Chen Fan stared at the woman and asked, "What do you think I should do with you?"
Zhou Yun said in a low voice, "I...I know I've let you down. I don't ask for forgiveness, Mr. Chen can do whatever he wants with me."
Chen Fan sighed.
"Originally, I planned to take advantage of the fact that you've all shown your true colors this time and wipe you all out in one fell swoop."
"I never expected you to 'switch sides' at the last minute, which has left me unsure of what to do with you."
"Regardless, you saved Guoguo today. For that alone, I can spare your life."
"You can't stay outside any longer. If I let you out, the Bai family will definitely not let you off the hook."
"My parents are very happy with you, and Ruochu also likes you very much. They consider you a friend."
“We’ve all seen what you’ve been doing at home these past two years, and your love for DouDou is genuine.”
"So, I've decided to give you another chance."
Zhou Yun suddenly raised her head, her eyes red-rimmed, her face full of disbelief.
