The faces of everyone present suddenly darkened.
Pei Sheng strolled leisurely to Lu An'an's side, his eyes meeting Fu Zhiyan's in mid-air, a subtle smile curving his lips: "President Fu, I'm quite curious, how did you find this place?"
His gaze lingered on Lu An'an's delicate cuffs, his words carrying an undercurrent of emotion: "The locator was blocked the moment they left the airport. That you were able to find them so quickly is truly beyond my expectations."
Lu An'an's heart sank suddenly, as if struck by a heavy object, and she couldn't believe it.
[Vocal! Pei Sheng actually knew about the locator! I was outmaneuvered!]
Fu Zhiyan's eyelashes trembled slightly.
Pei Sheng had more information than he had anticipated. Was it because he had been keeping a close watch on things from beginning to end, or was it because An An's master and he... had made some kind of deal?
Amidst a flurry of thoughts, Pei Sheng's words rang out again, carrying a meaningful and playful tone.
"It's really strange. I didn't remember you at all before, so how come you suddenly appeared with such a strong presence, and... you're even dating my heroine?"
Fu Zhiyan's gaze slowly turned cold, and he retorted in a cold voice, "She's not your leading lady."
Pei Sheng scoffed lightly: "President Fu's focus is really peculiar. I'm asking how you found this place."
Fu Zhiyan's expression remained calm as she replied indifferently, "It's none of your business."
Pei Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly and asked again, "Then who are you?"
Fu Zhiyan lowered his eyelids, his tone indifferent: "None of your business, give me back my wife."
Pei Sheng was so angry at these words that he burst out laughing: "Give me back your wife? I'll give you back your father!"
Fu Zhiyan gave Pei Sheng a subtle look. "If you insist on recognizing my wife as your father, I can reluctantly give you some maternal love."
Lu An'an, standing to the side: "..."
To be honest, I don't really like this kind of conversation where I'm the main character. It feels like they're dancing in the rain, and I have to yell at them to stop fighting.
Fu Zhiyan's reply was filled with grievance.
"Wife, look at him!"
Lu An'an's lips twitched.
Be serious!
Fu Zhiyan had no choice but to continue to argue with Pei Sheng: "I don't care about how you address me, but if you insist on calling me 'Mom,' I can reluctantly accept it. So, are you going to call me that?"
Lu Yanli and his group almost couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.
Pei Sheng was taken aback, his composure crumbling, and he snapped angrily, "Fu Zhiyan, you fucking found—"
Lu Wenjing, who was standing to the side, interrupted impatiently: "Pei Sheng, what exactly do you want to do?"
Upon hearing this, Pei Sheng took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and slowly scanned the crowd before finally meeting Qi Rang's tense and wary gaze. He then slowly said, "Captain Qi, I'm a timid person, and I easily lose control of my emotions when there's a lot of noise. To avoid me losing my temper, could you please have your people fly the helicopter a little further away from my ship?"
Qi Rang slightly lifted his eyelids and rolled his eyes at them with disdain: "Give them back to us, and I'll let them go right away."
Pei Sheng's lips curled into a cold smile, his tone full of hidden meaning: "Is that so? Then I'll have to resort to some tricks as well."
Before he finished speaking, everyone's heartstrings tightened suddenly, and their wary gazes all focused on Pei Sheng.
Just then, the roar of a helicopter suddenly came from the sky, and then a red dot appeared on Lu An'an's body, which was the scope of a sniper rifle.
Lu An'an stared in surprise at the red dot pointing directly at her heart, a thought flashing through her mind.
[Was Deng's preparation for this all so thorough?!]
Fu Zhiyan's heart sank suddenly, his lips pressed into a straight line, and his hand in his pocket unconsciously tightened its grip, the sweat on his palm sticking tightly to the fabric, the unease that had been lingering in his heart growing stronger.
However, before he could say anything to Lu An'an, a muffled and piercing gunshot suddenly rang out.
"Hmm—"
Lu An'an's body trembled violently, and she cried out in pain.
[Pei Sheng, you son of a bitch! This time you really want me dead!]
The people around who witnessed this scene all had their pupils shrink.
After the gunshot rang out, a bullet wound appeared on Lu An'an's arm, from which blood seeped out. Almost at the same moment, several red laser dots appeared on her body.
When Pei Sheng's gaze fell on Lu An'an's injured arm, a cold glint flashed in his eyes. He turned back to look at Zhu Ze expressionlessly, then pulled out his gun without hesitation and shot Zhu Ze in the arm, his tone chilling.
"Xiao Yi, I told you not to do anything unnecessary."
The impact of the bullet sent Zhu Ze staggering backward. Pale-faced, he clutched his wound, cold sweat beading on his forehead. He gritted his teeth and forced out a few words of apology: "Your subordinate knows his mistake."
Lu An'an bandaged her wounds, looked up at the scene between the master and servant, and tried to sow discord: "Zhu Ze, you are so loyal to Pei Sheng, yet he still did this to you. If you ask me, you might as well betray him, so that when your master turns his back on you, you won't even have a whole corpse left."
Zhu Ze stared coldly back at Lu An'an, "I could never betray my master."
Pei Sheng's eyes flickered. After instructing someone to bandage Zhu Ze's wounds, he turned to look at Lu An'an, his eyes narrowing slightly. He said jokingly, "An'an, your words hurt my feelings. I only hit my people to avenge you."
Lu An'an scoffed: "For me? Pei Sheng, do you even believe that yourself? I have at least ten guns pointed at me. Don't fool yourself with your acting."
Pei Sheng shrugged nonchalantly and slowly approached Lu An'an: "If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do."
Before he finished speaking, he instantly grabbed Lu An'an and held her in his arms, pressing the cold muzzle of the gun against her forehead, and silently retreated towards the railing.
He lowered his head and whispered in her ear in a voice only Lu An'an could hear: "Lu An'an, it will be over soon."
Lu An'an's expression remained unchanged, and she replied calmly, "Pei Sheng, you can't win."
Upon hearing this, Pei Sheng chuckled and said, "That's hard to say, An'an. If even one of those people on the other side dies because of you, I won't lose."
Lu An'an's gaze suddenly sharpened, and her tone turned colder: "You dare!"
Pei Sheng cocked the pistol, bringing the muzzle even closer to Lu An'an, and said playfully, "Then let's try it."
Pei Sheng's actions caused the expressions of everyone opposite him to change drastically in an instant.
Lu Yanli cried out in alarm, "Pei Sheng! Let's talk this out!"
Upon hearing Lu Yanli's voice, Pei Sheng's gaze swept lightly over Lu Yanli before finally settling on Gu Tingyan's face, whose expression was complex and difficult to discern, standing beside Lu Yanli.
He raised an eyebrow and said in a long, meaningful tone, "Lu Yanli, the person next to you is keeping a big secret from you. Do you want to hear it?"
