Chapter 429 Use Xia Ningxi as an exchange
Li Yancheng originally thought that only Huo Nanxiao would come to his door, but he did not expect that Fu Xiyu also liked to join in the fun, and his attitude was obviously more excited than Huo Nanxiao's. What does Xia Wanwan have to do with him?
"Fu Xiyu, it seems you and Xia Wanwan have a pretty good relationship. Anyone who didn't know better would think you were having an affair with her." Li Yancheng mocked without any politeness.
Fu Xiyu was furious: "Can't you utter any nice words with that filthy mouth of yours?"
"Heh, getting angry out of embarrassment? Tsk tsk, Nan Xiao, you're no good. I thought Xia Wanwan was so devoted to you, but I didn't expect her to be entangled with other men." Li Yancheng mocked.
Even with his good temper, Fu Xiyu couldn't help but get angry after hearing these words. He retorted, "Aren't you just trying to sow discord here to defend your sister? Do you think we'll believe what you're saying?"
"What gives you the right to mention her?" Li Yancheng's dark eyes were unfathomable, and his aura had changed.
The already tense atmosphere was instantly swept away by a chilling aura of death, and even the air seemed to freeze in that instant.
A murderous aura surged!
Fu Xiyu said, "If you don't want me to mention it, then hand over Xia Wanwan."
"Heh, Xia Wanwan is really something, managing to make you and Nan Xiao so anxious. I wonder if this woman is even worthy of you." Li Yancheng was extremely disdainful, completely ignoring Fu Xiyu's words.
Huo Nanxiao asked, "What exactly do you want to do?"
“I have her in my hands. If I don’t want to hand her over, none of you can take her away. Xia Wanwan isn’t like that damned Xia Ningxi who can run away on her own. So, you’d better be nice to me. If I’m unhappy, Xia Wanwan will suffer a lot.” Li Yancheng sneered.
These words silenced the two men who were still angry.
Indeed, Xia Wanwan is different from Xia Ningxi.
Previously, when Xia Ningxi was taken away by Li Yancheng, she was able to make Li Yancheng suffer because of her own abilities. However, Xia Wanwan can't even take care of herself and is unable to walk upright. Even if she is let go, Xia Wanwan may not be able to leave safely. If Li Yancheng really wants to kill her, it would be much easier for him.
Fu Xiyu shut his mouth.
Huo Nanxiao understood Li Yancheng's personality; when angered, Li Yancheng was capable of anything, and Xia Wanwan would be in great danger if she fell into his hands.
"What do you want?" Huo Nanxiao asked.
Li Yancheng sneered: "What can you give me?"
"I can't give you money or power, so it's basically impossible for you to gain any benefits or advantages from Xia Wanwan. However, if you're willing to talk things over, I can make sure you have a comfortable life in the capital," Huo Nanxiao promised.
Li Yancheng stared dangerously at Huo Nanxiao: "Really? How comfortable is it?"
"At the very least, the Li family's satellite base station can be built normally, and there shouldn't be any major problems with the communication base," Huo Nanxiao said.
Li Yancheng sneered: "The Li family's capabilities are naturally beyond question. Do you think I need you to explain why I'm building a base station?"
"I can prevent you from building it, and I can also paralyze the Li family's communication equipment. For a day or two, the higher-ups won't have any objections, but if the Li family's communication base stations are malfunctioning for a long time, they should consider changing to a different partner company." Huo Nanxiao's tone was lazy, and he had already thought about how to deal with Li Yancheng when he said this.
Li Yancheng was actually quite angry, but then he thought about how Huo Nanxiao, that bastard, had been kept in the dark, and his mood suddenly brightened up. He looked at Huo Nanxiao with a hint of amusement.
“Xia Wanwan is the future eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family. You can’t take her back without offering some benefits. I need to see enough benefits before you can take her away,” Li Yancheng said.
Huo Nanxiao: "Think carefully before you talk to me."
“I’ve made every word very clear. If you don’t want anything to happen to Xia Wanwan, then show your sincerity.” Li Yancheng said without changing his expression.
The door was pushed open.
Suddenly, a cold-faced subordinate strode over. "Young Master Li."
"Let's just say it." Li Yancheng didn't intend to hide anything from Huo Nanxiao.
The subordinate said, "Miss Xia seems to be experiencing some health problems."
"Oh, and then?" Li Yancheng asked lazily.
The subordinate asked, "Should we call a doctor?"
"I have no money."
The mere mention of Li Yancheng left Huo Nanxiao and Fu Xiyu speechless, and they were also furious.
The Li family is incredibly wealthy; Li Yancheng can easily spend tens of millions. It's impossible that he wouldn't even care about a doctor. His attitude shows that he doesn't care about Xia Wanwan's life or death.
"Do you want to die?" Huo Nanxiao's body was filled with a chilling aura.
Li Yancheng said, "You've targeted me so much that I can't do business in the capital and I can't make any money. It's normal that you've made me, a poor family, have to pay for Xia Wanwan to have a private doctor. Does she even deserve it?"
"I'm giving you one last chance. Hand over the person honestly, and as long as they're safe, I won't hold it against you," Huo Nanxiao issued his final ultimatum.
Li Yancheng simply pretended to be deaf and couldn't hear him.
Want people? No way!
He leaned back lazily on the sofa like an old man, crossed his legs, and prepared to pour himself a cup of tea.
Huo Nanxiao waved his hand, and the teacups on the table instantly scattered and shattered on the floor, leaving water stains all over the table and the floor, making a large area dirty.
The servants and subordinates around rushed forward in a panic upon seeing this.
Li Yancheng simply raised his hand casually, and everyone stopped upon seeing this.
Something moved beneath my feet!
Everyone instinctively steadied themselves.
The sightseeing cruise ship has already set sail!
Huo Nanxiao glanced out the window. The cruise ship that had been steadily docked at the Bund pier had now sailed away from the coast and was slowly heading out to sea. What was this guy up to?
"Where are you going?" Huo Nanxiao asked warily.
When Li Yancheng saw the ship leave, he curled his lips into a wicked and cold smile, as if he had become a different person in an instant. Without any politeness, he smashed the teacup he was holding on the ground.
He stood up abruptly, his gaze meeting Huo Nanxiao's sharp eyes. "Naturally, we'll go to the center of the ocean and throw your beloved woman in to feed the fish."
Swish—
Enraged, Huo Nanxiao grabbed Li Yancheng by the collar.
"What? You still want to fight? Then you'd better think carefully about whether that half-dead woman can take a beating." Li Yancheng sneered.
He has no conscience, especially towards Xia Wanwan. If it weren't for the fact that she's crippled, Li Yancheng wouldn't have let her be so comfortable. If Huo Nanxiao really dares to make a move, Li Yancheng would dare to return her to that woman intact. Anyway, he's disliked Xia Wanwan for a long time!
Huo Nanxiao gripped Li Yancheng's collar tightly with his large hand, his fingers clenching, and said, word by word, "You think you can survive if something happens to her?"
“Young Master Huo is now on my turf, so his life and death are naturally in my hands.” Li Yancheng never made preparations without a chance of winning.
This ship is full of his men.
When Huo Nanxiao arrived, he was all alone and barely able to protect himself. It's unclear where he got his confidence from!
He unceremoniously pushed Huo Nanxiao's hand away and straightened his somewhat disheveled clothes.
"If you want to save Xia Wanwan, you can send me that woman named Xia Ningxi. I happen to have some grudges against her. As long as you send her to me, I can guarantee that Xia Wanwan can return to the surface safely. If you are unwilling, then I cannot guarantee whether your Xia Wanwan will be alright."
Li Yancheng wasn't unreasonable; he directly gave Huo Nanxiao the opportunity to choose.
Whether to choose between a new love or an old flame is up to Huo Nanxiao himself.
"Whether you choose Xia Wanwan or Xia Ningxi is up to you."
His words completely enraged Huo Nanxiao. Before he could finish speaking, a fist was thrown at Li Yancheng's face.
Huo Nanxiao was truly enraged, his eyes blazing with terrifying fire.
Caught off guard, Li Yancheng was enraged by the blow and was about to retaliate.
Fu Xiyu quickly stepped in front of the two, blocking their way. The punch that Li Yancheng was supposed to land on Huo Nanxiao's face landed squarely on Fu Xiyu's face instead.
"Get the hell out of my way!" Li Yancheng cursed.
Fu Xiyu said, "Xia Ningxi didn't provoke you; it's going too far for you to make such a request."
"None of your business." Li Yancheng didn't want to reason with him at all and directly yelled at Huo Nanxiao, "Let me tell you, you have two choices today: either send me that dead woman Xia Ningxi, or I throw that bitch Xia Wanwan into the sea to feed the fish. You decide what to do!"
"You—" Fu Xiyu was furious.
Huo Nanxiao was also angry, but he knew that once Li Yancheng made up his mind, he wouldn't easily change it, so he angrily walked out.
Everyone was puzzled. Where was Huo Nanxiao going?
Has Huo Nanxiao already decided to leave Xia Wanwan to die?
Or did Huo Nanxiao call Xia Ningxi to lure her here in exchange for Xia Wanwan's life?
They were all very puzzled and eager to know Huo Nanxiao's final answer, but they soon realized that things were not as simple as they had imagined.
Huo Nanxiao did not compromise because of Li Yancheng's few words, and that phone call was not for Xia Ningxi!
Within ten minutes, many patrol boats appeared in the sea and intercepted the Li family's cruise ship.
After Yao Qing realized something was wrong, she quickly reported it to Li Yancheng.
Li Yancheng snorted coldly: "What are you afraid of? The Han family isn't someone to be trifled with."
That's right, besides Li Yancheng, there were also members of the Han family around.
Han Musen remained hidden in the shadows, observing everything.
When the Huo family's patrol boat arrived, the Han family also mobilized, completely blocking Huo Nanxiao's men. They couldn't even get close to Xia Wanwan, let alone rescue her.
If the Huo family dared to board the ship directly, Li Yancheng would dare to throw Xia Wanwan into the sea directly.
