Chapter 314 The Aftermath Has Not Yet Subsided
The bullet hit Lu Chen's hand, and the gun fell to the ground.
Lu Chen covered his hand, his face deathly pale.
Damn it!
Ah Kun and his men rushed up and pinned Lu Chen to the ground.
"Lu Chen, you're finished."
Lu Chen struggled, but was quickly subdued.
Fang Lanxin helped Guan Jingshen stand up.
"Jing Shen, your shoulder..."
"It's just a scratch, nothing serious," Guan Jingshen said. "Lanxin, are you hurt?"
"I'm fine." Fang Lanxin shook her head. "Jing Shen, thank you. If it weren't for you, I would really be dead here today."
Guan Jingshen hugged her. "Silly girl, we're husband and wife, no need to say thank you."
Ah Kun walked over. "Master Guan, Lu Chen has been captured. Should we call the police?"
"Call the police," Guan Jingshen said. "Let the police handle it."
"yes."
Ah Kun took out his phone and called the police.
Ten minutes later, the police car arrived.
Director Zhou personally led the team.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Fang Lanxin and Guan Jingshen.
"Ms. Fang, Lord Guan, are you alright?"
“We’re fine,” Fang Lanxin said. “Director Zhou, Lu Chen kidnapped me and tried to kill me. He must be severely punished this time.”
"Don't worry," Director Zhou said. "Lu Chen's crime this time is not light; he will be sentenced to at least ten years in prison."
Lu Chen was taken away by the police.
Before leaving, he glared fiercely at Fang Lanxin.
"Fang Lanxin, you just wait! I won't let you get away with this!"
Fang Lanxin looked at him coldly. "Lu Chen, you've already lost your chance."
Lu Chen was shoved into a police car and driven away.
Fang Lanxin leaned against Guan Jingshen's chest and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This time it was truly a narrow escape from death.
If Guan Jingshen hadn't arrived in time, she would have really died here today.
"Jing Shen, let's go home."
"good."
Guan Jingshen helped Fang Lanxin into the car.
Ah Kun drove them back to the villa.
On the way, Fang Lanxin suddenly remembered something.
"Jing Shen, is Siya really alright?"
"It's nothing," Guan Jingshen said. "Lu Chen was lying to you. Siya is doing fine at home."
Fang Lanxin was relieved.
It was already 10 p.m. when we got back to the villa.
Huo Siya was waiting in the living room.
Upon seeing Fang Lanxin enter, she immediately stood up.
"Mom, where have you been? I've called you so many times, but you haven't answered."
Fang Lanxin looked at her daughter, and tears fell again.
“Siya…”
Huo Siya was taken aback. "Mom, what's wrong? Did something happen?"
Fang Lanxin went over and hugged her daughter tightly.
"Siya, I'm so glad you're alright. I'm so glad you're alright."
Huo Siya was so breathless from being hugged by her mother.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Guan Jingshen walked over. "Siya, your mother was a little frightened today. Help her to rest first."
"Oh, okay."
Huo Siya helped Fang Lanxin upstairs.
Fang Lanxin lay on the bed with her eyes closed.
The events of tonight replayed in her mind like a movie.
She almost died.
It was really close.
If it weren't for Guan Jingshen, she would have fallen into the sea by now.
Thinking of this, Fang Lanxin's tears flowed again.
Huo Siya sat on the edge of the bed, holding her mother's hand.
"Mom, don't cry. What happened?"
Fang Lanxin wiped away her tears. "Siya, Mom is alright. Don't worry."
"But Mother, you are clearly crying."
Fang Lanxin sat up and looked at her daughter.
"Siya, your mother is asking you if you've encountered any strange people lately."
Huo Siya thought for a moment. "No. What's wrong?"
"It's nothing," Fang Lanxin said. "Siya, you need to be more careful when you go out in the future. If strangers try to talk to you, don't pay any attention to them."
"I understand." Huo Siya nodded. "Mom, did you encounter some bad people?"
Fang Lanxin fell silent.
“Mom, please tell me,” Huo Siya said. “I’m not a child anymore. I can handle this.”
Fang Lanxin sighed. "Siya, someone tried to kill Mother today."
Huo Siya's expression changed. "What? Who?"
“A man named Lu Chen,” Fang Lanxin said. “He harbored resentment because of the He family, so he wanted to kill me. But don’t worry, he has already been arrested by the police.”
Huo Siya gripped Fang Lanxin's hand tightly. "Mom, are you alright?"
"I'm fine," Fang Lanxin said. "With your Uncle Guan here, I'll be alright."
Huo Siya breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. Mom, you scared me to death."
"Silly child." Fang Lanxin patted her daughter's head. "Alright, you're tired too. Go and rest."
"Then you should go to bed early, Mom."
"Um."
After Huo Siya left, Fang Lanxin lay back down on the bed.
She stared at the ceiling, her mind a jumbled mess.
What happened tonight made her realize a problem.
The waters of the port city were deeper than she had imagined.
Lu Chen is just a minor character, yet he can cause her so much trouble.
How will those truly powerful figures deal with her?
Fang Lanxin closed her eyes.
It seems she needs to be more careful.
When Fang Lanxin woke up the next morning, Guan Jingshen was no longer in bed.
She went downstairs and saw Guan Jingshen making a phone call in the living room.
"Okay, I understand. Continue the investigation."
After hanging up the phone, Guan Jingshen saw Fang Lanxin come down and immediately went over to her.
"Lanxin, you're awake. Did you sleep well last night?"
"It's alright," Fang Lanxin said. "Jing Shen, who are you calling?"
“Ah Kun,” Guan Jingshen said, “I’ve asked him to investigate whether there are any other people behind Lu Chen.”
Fang Lanxin frowned. "You suspect Lu Chen isn't alone?"
“Yes,” Guan Jingshen said. “Lu Chen is just a small-time hoodlum. He doesn’t have the guts to mess with you. I suspect he has someone behind him.”
Fang Lanxin pondered for a moment. "You're right. Although Lu Chen is a fugitive, he's not stupid. If he didn't have someone backing him up, he wouldn't dare to deal with me so openly."
“So I told Ah Kun to keep investigating,” Guan Jingshen said. “We must find the mastermind behind this.”
Fang Lanxin nodded. "Jing Shen, thank you."
“Silly girl, we’re husband and wife.” Guan Jingshen hugged her. “Lanxin, you should rest at home for the next few days. Let Qibang handle the company matters.”
“No.” Fang Lanxin shook her head. “The company is at a critical stage right now, and I can’t leave.”
"But Lanxin, you just went through something so dangerous yesterday..."
“I’m fine.” Fang Lanxin interrupted him. “Jing Shen, I know you’re worried about me. But I’m really fine. Besides, I can’t hide away because of Lu Chen. If I do, there will be a second or a third Lu Chen.”
Guan Jingshen looked at her and finally sighed. "Alright. But Lanxin, promise me you'll always bring bodyguards when you go out."
"I promise you."
After breakfast, Fang Lanxin drove to the Huo family's residence.
Ah Kun sent two bodyguards to follow her.
When he arrived at the company, Kenneth Fok was already waiting for him in his office.
He immediately stood up when he saw his mother come in.
"Mom, are you alright? I heard from Uncle Guan that last night..."
"I'm fine." Fang Lanxin sat down. "Qibang, how's things at the company?"
“Everything is normal,” Fok Kai-pong said. “The new district project has been restarted. The government has also approved our plan.”
"That's good." Fang Lanxin nodded. "Qibang, you've worked hard these past few days."
