Chapter 138 Is President Fu also troubled by love?
"Fu Shiyue, stop wasting your time!" Her voice was filled with despair and helplessness, as if she had seen through everything. "I know very well that with your abilities and methods, finding Lu Fei will not be difficult. But even if you do find him, what then? I haven't completed the task he assigned me, and he will definitely not give me any chance to live."
Her words struck Fu Shiyue's heart like a heavy hammer.
He looked at the woman in front of him.
"I said, you can't die without my permission!"
However, she simply shook her head slightly, a bitter smile appearing on her face.
However, this world is just that cruel.
At first, she really wanted to live, because only by living could she have any hope of survival.
But now, she seems like someone who has been toyed with by fate.
She was filled with sorrow. She once thought that as long as she worked hard, she could break free from the shackles of fate, but now she realized that she was just a pawn on someone else's chessboard.
She knew better than anyone the consequences of failure.
It all seemed futile to her now. She longed to live, but each struggle felt like sinking deeper into the mire, with no glimmer of hope in sight.
Perhaps from the very beginning, her fate was sealed, and no matter how much she resisted, she could not escape it.
She desperately hoped for a miracle, but how could a miracle so easily befall a poor person like her?
She could only wait in despair for the final judgment. Every second of torment felt like it was pushing her into a deeper abyss, and she was powerless to stop it from happening.
"I'll have the doctor find a way to suppress your poison first. I'll go and meet this Lu Fei in person. I want to see what tricks he has up his sleeve."
After saying that, he took her phone from the table and walked out of the room.
He suddenly stopped walking.
Then, he slowly turned his head, staring intently at her with a gaze so intense it seemed to pierce through her.
His eyes burned with an indescribable emotion, like desire or possession, which made her heart beat faster involuntarily.
Finally, he spoke: "I'm going to lock you in my world and never let you leave."
These words struck her heart like a hammer blow, making her gasp for breath.
She watched Fu Shiyue's departing figure, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
Back in the study
He went to the windowsill alone.
He reached into the cigarette pack, pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep drag, the smoke swirling around him.
His eyes became deep and sharp as he pondered how to deal with Lu Fei.
The cigarette burned out quickly, so he took out another one and lit it.
Smoke filled the quiet study, and his figure appeared and disappeared in the smoke.
As cigarette after cigarette was finished, the ashtray was piled high with cigarette butts.
Fu Shiyue's brows furrowed more and more as he pondered how to find Lu Fei and how to teach her a lesson while protecting her.
Suddenly, his phone vibrated. It was a message from the doctor saying that her poisoning was temporarily under control.
"Hey you, are you out of your mind? Smoking so many cigarettes?"
Amidst a pungent smell of smoke, Shen Xian'an walked in.
As soon as he entered, Shen Xian'an was choked by the smoke filling the room and started coughing. He looked closely and saw that the ashtray on the table was full of cigarette butts, while Fu Shiyue was sitting at the table with his brows furrowed and his face gloomy.
"Why are you smoking so much?" Shen Xian'an walked up to Fu Shiyue, patted his shoulder, and teased, "Could it be that Mr. Fu is thinking about some beautiful woman and is troubled by love?"
Fu Shiyue didn't speak, but silently took a drag of his cigarette and slowly exhaled a smoke ring.
Seeing him like this, Shen Xian'an couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"What happened? Say something!" Shen Xian'an asked anxiously.
Fu Shiyue raised his head, glanced at Shen Xian'an, then lowered his head again and continued smoking.
After a while, Fu Shiyue finally spoke.
He spoke in a hoarse voice, "What happened to the thing I asked you to investigate?"
Shen Xian'an dropped his joking expression and placed a stack of documents on the table.
He said seriously, "I've never even heard of Yunmeng, the place you mentioned. It seems hard to find. But you asked me to investigate Lu Fei. I've heard of Lu Fei too. He's apparently a member of some kind of organization. He's ruthless and has a lot of influence. What do you want with him?"
Fu Shiyue stubbed out his cigarette, his eyes resolute. "You don't need to worry about that. I need you to find that place as soon as possible, preferably tonight."
"As your brother, I would definitely help you with this, but... you seem a bit rushed tonight..."
A moment later, Ye Xingran's phone rang on the table, and he looked at it.
Fu Shiyue quickly picked up his phone; the screen showed a call from an unknown number.
He took a deep breath and then slowly pressed the answer button.
On the other end of the phone, Lu Fei's voice was as cold as ice, yet it carried a hint of undisguised smugness: "President Fu, are you surprised? You've been looking for me, but now it's me coming to you. Aran's life is in my hands now."
Fu Shiyue clenched his fists tightly, trying to control his anger and keep his voice calm: "What do you want?"
Lu Fei let out a cold laugh on the other end of the phone: "It's simple. I just want you to come with the contents of that USB drive. I don't want anything else. I'll send you the address. As long as you give me the USB drive, I'll give you the antidote."
Fu Shiyue frowned deeply. He knew that the contents of that USB drive were very important to Lu Fei, but he absolutely could not hand it over so easily.
“Also,” Lu Fei’s voice suddenly turned serious, “I only allow you to come alone. If you dare to bring anyone else or try anything funny, I’ll just destroy the antidote.”
After saying that, Lu Fei hung up the phone, leaving Fu Shiyue standing there, his mood growing heavier.
A moment later, my phone beeped with a text message notification.
Upon closer inspection, it was an address.
Shen Xian'an saw his determination and wanted to dissuade him, but knew it was useless, so he could only say helplessly, "Be careful, and contact me anytime if anything happens."
Fu Shiyue remained silent.
The city lights were dazzling at night, but Fu Shiyue had no heart to appreciate them.
Fu Shiyue drove to the address in the text message. It was just an abandoned factory, surrounded by weeds, and the dilapidated buildings cast eerie shadows under the dim streetlights.
The factory was filled with a pungent, putrid stench, and eerie noises echoed from the darkness, as if countless unknown dangers were lurking within.
Fu Shiyue cautiously entered the factory, the surrounding darkness seeming to want to swallow him up.
Suddenly, the lights blazed on, and Lu Fei appeared before him with a group of his men.
"President Fu, you're very punctual." Lu Fei's lips curled up, but his eyes revealed a fierce look.
Fu Shiyue looked at him coldly, "I'm here now. Hand over the antidote, and I'll give you the USB drive."
Lu Fei laughed loudly, "Do you think I would believe you so easily? I need to take the USB drive to my trading partner first."
Fu Shiyue hesitated for a moment, then slowly took out the USB drive.
Just when he was completely off guard, a slight noise suddenly came from behind him.
He turned around alertly and saw a dark figure flash by as swiftly as a ghost.
Before he could react, the iron rod in the dark figure's hand struck his leg like lightning!
With a muffled thud, his leg felt as if it had been hit by a speeding truck, and excruciating pain struck him instantly.
His body suddenly tilted to the side, lost his balance, and fell straight to his knees like a puppet with its strings cut.
His hands instinctively tried to support his body, but due to the excruciating pain in his legs, his arms also became weak and powerless, and he could only half-support himself on the ground, barely maintaining a posture that prevented him from falling completely.
His forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his lips trembled slightly from the pain. However, his gaze did not waver in the slightest; instead, he stared fiercely at Lu Fei in front of him, as if he wanted to devour him alive.
Lu Fei's lips curled up as he looked at him, a sly smile on his face, his voice revealing undisguised smugness.
"Neither you nor the USB drive are leaving today!"
It was as if the whole world was under his control, and he was enjoying the thrill of that control.
