By the time the attack plan was finalized, dawn was breaking. Huo Qingfeng stretched, packed his things, climbed into bed, and went back to sleep.
I woke up again because of the loud noise of the door being slammed open.
Huo Qingfeng opened his eyes briefly, then closed them again. A moment later, someone called his name and pounced on him.
"Qingfeng, Qingfeng..." Yang Ziyun threw herself on her son, forcefully pulling the blanket off his head. Seeing he was alright, she breathed a huge sigh of relief. "You naughty child, why did you lock the door? You scared me half to death, do you know that?!"
Huo Qingfeng covered his mouth and yawned, saying nonchalantly, "Mom, don't worry. I still need to keep this life to protect my wife. As long as my wife is alright, I won't do anything foolish."
Upon hearing this, Yang Ziyun glared at him without saying a word! Was this brat trying to imply that she should never even think about hurting Ling Ruoke?
"Wife, wife, besides your wife, do you still have me, your mother, in your heart?" Although she always wanted her son to get married soon, he couldn't really forget his mother after getting a wife. What's worse, she's a divorced woman, which brings a lot of trouble.
Huo Qingfeng shrugged. "Don't you have Grandpa? You're Grandpa's darling, you don't need me to worry about you. As for me, I only need to worry about my wife."
"Are you completely obsessed?! Is she really that good?" Yang Ziyun poked his head angrily. Ling Ruoke isn't a bad person, but she's divorced after all, and they've already had a lot of drama before they're even together. Why is she worth him taking care of her like this?
Huo Qingfeng looked at her, a half-smile on his face. "Mom, do you remember that song you used to sing all the time? I remember there was a line in it, something like, 'Some people are hard to explain why they're so good, but no one can replace them.' Didn't you say that the lyrics were really classic? That's how I feel right now, so I can't answer your question."
After saying that, he got up and went to wash up.
Yang Ziyun watched him from behind, stamping her feet in anger. This stubborn child!
...
Ling Ruoke hesitated for a long time before finally dialing the number she hadn't used in ages. She thought she had forgotten it, but she remembered it clearly.
"Ruo Ke." The other end called her name without even asking, as if they had been waiting for her all along.
Ling Ruoke felt like she had foolishly jumped into someone's trap, and panicked instantly, taking deep breaths repeatedly. "Cang Weiwo, what did you mean when you said we weren't divorced? We clearly signed the divorce agreement!"
Over there, Cang Wei chuckled softly. "We did sign a divorce agreement, but I didn't hand it over to a lawyer. It's still locked in my drawer."
Ling Ruoke clenched her free right hand into a fist, her nails digging deep into her palm, causing a slight pain. "Then why are you forcing me to sign the divorce papers? Didn't you want a divorce?"
"Who said that?" Cang Weiwo's tone was lazy, with a hint of amusement. "I just want to see you suffer. The more you suffer, the happier I am. As for leaving, Ruoke, you will never leave me in this lifetime."
"You—" Ling Ruoke was so angry she couldn't speak. "Cang Weiwo, you bastard, you bastard!"
Cang Wei's reply was a low, pleasant laugh. "Ruo Ke, you're always so innocent, making me want to keep going—I can't stop!"
Ling Ruoke cursed wildly, but due to her refined manners, she could only utter a few words. "Cang Weiwo, you bastard, you'll die a horrible death!"
"It's alright. If it's possible, even if it means death, I will definitely take you with me. If it's possible, you can't escape." He answered calmly, as if he were simply saying, "I'm going to take you out to eat," with the same nonchalance.
That faint tone and low laughter sounded like the King of Hell from the depths of hell.
Ling Ruoke hung up the phone and leaned against the wall, panting heavily.
"Ah—" Ling Ruoke clutched her head and screamed shrilly. Cang Weiwo's voice echoed repeatedly in her ears: Ruoke, you can't escape…
She slowly closed her eyes, her eyes feeling hot, regretting her foolishness in setting such a difficult problem for Qingfeng!
"Ruo Ke, what's wrong?" Tan Peishi heard her shout just now and hurriedly ran out onto the balcony.
Ling Ruoke turned to look at her friend, finally unable to hold back her tears. "Peishi, Cang Wei and I really didn't get divorced. He said we signed a divorce agreement, but he never gave it to the lawyer. Peishi, how could I be so stupid!"
Tan Peishi was also heartbroken. After all, this marriage added a terrible obstacle to her path of being with the captain. She had already learned from Peigang that the captain had been urgently summoned back to B City by his family. Moreover, his phone had been switched off, so he was probably being held captive.
What had seemed like a bright future was suddenly shrouded in gloom. Even she began to worry. The captain was capable, but his illustrious background was also his fatal weakness. But she couldn't tell Ruoke these things!
"No one could have imagined something like this. Besides, Cang Wei, I never wanted a divorce. Even if you had known it back then, he would never have let her go. Don't forget, you were rescued by the captain and his team at great risk."
Ling Ruoke closed her eyes and slowly shook her head. "I just feel that I have let Qingfeng down."
"Fool, in love, there's no such thing as 'I'm sorry' or 'I'm not sorry'. Love is a journey for two people. Once you've made the choice, no matter what difficulties you encounter, you can work together to overcome them."
Of course, not every couple is as lucky as she and Fu Peigang. The captain and Ruo Ke were the kind of couple who had to overcome countless obstacles to be together. As the saying goes, what is easily gained is easily lost, and what is hard to lose is hard to lose, which isn't necessarily all bad.
No matter how difficult the road is, we will eventually get through it.
"..."
Late at night. City A. My villa, Cangwei.
The lights inside the villa were off, but some lights remained on around the perimeter. By those lights, it was clear that the villa was heavily fortified, so much so that even a mosquito would have a hard time getting in.
Huo Qingfeng parked the car in a secluded corner, jumped out, slung his backpack over his shoulder, and ran forward. He didn't take the main road, but instead dashed into the woods.
In the dead of night, the occasional cries of wild beasts echoed through the woods, sounding somewhat eerie. But for Huo Qingfeng, who was skilled in wilderness survival, this was nothing. Using the moonlight filtering through the trees, he darted left and right, like a leaping leopard, unstoppable.
He didn't know how much time had passed before he finally stopped. Despite running through the forest for so long, his breathing remained steady, as if he had only been taking a stroll.
Huo Qingfeng put down his backpack, took out binoculars, and observed the villa in the night. It was indeed well-defended!
He slowly curled the corners of his mouth into a confident smile, accompanied by a disdainful snort.
He took out the blueprints from his backpack, and in the dim light, ran his fingers over the marked areas.
The villa is guarded in the open. Many others lurk in the shadows, like wolves hidden in the night, ready to appear silently and bite your neck.
The quiet villa suddenly became lively with the sound of several bombs exploding in succession.
