The aloof beauty always has weak legs; the crazy boss is too ruthless.

Chapter 133 Sheng Huai'an

After half an hour.

Shen Cheng received news that Hua Dongchen had put all his undercover agents on a plane, which had already taken off and was expected to arrive at Yunjiang Airport an hour later.

Yunjiang is a small border city, and one of its five districts and four counties is Jianghong County.

Once the plane lands at Yunjiang Airport, no matter how powerful Hua Dongchen's forces are, as long as he remains within the territory, he can forget about harming those spies.

Even so, Lin Chen was still worried, especially since they had left, leaving Hua Xu behind.

What if Hua Dongchen wasn't the one who died after the bomb exploded...

With these thoughts in mind, Lin Chen made a decision: taking advantage of Shen Cheng's lack of vigilance, he knocked him unconscious, tied him to the seat, and ordered the pilot to safely return him to Beicheng.

After watching the helicopter fly further and further away, Lin Chen returned to his car, started the engine, and drove towards the Hua family's old residence.

……

It only takes about 20 minutes to get to the Hua family's old house.

After parking the car at the entrance, Lin Chen got out and called Hua Dongchen.

Upon learning that his son was in his car, Hua Dongchen hurriedly walked out, leaning on his cane.

Seeing that Hua Xu wasn't with the old man, Lin Chen immediately had a bad feeling. "Where's Hua Xu?"

Hua Dongchen feigned composure and replied, "Xu'er is worried about your comrades and insists on personally flying the plane to send them back."

"Damn it! You old bastard, you dare to pull this on me!" Lin Chen grabbed him by the collar, completely turning hostile. "You think you're so great? You dare to scheme against me like this?"

"Lin Chen, what are you doing!" Seeing her uncle being treated like this, Yu Nian, who was hiding in the shadows, rushed over to stop him. "My uncle has already done as you said! My cousin only went along because he was worried. Let go of him!"

"Let me tell you, Hua Dongchen, you better not try anything funny with me." Grabbing him by the collar and dragging him to the front of the car, Lin Chen warned, "If the plane doesn't land safely at Yunjiang Airport, I'll blow your son to pieces!"

Hua Dongchen had already guessed that he wouldn't easily send Hua Yin back. He gestured to the bodyguards on both sides to stop them from approaching, and then said to Yu Nian behind him, "Nian Nian, you should leave here first. This is a feud between our Hua family and Lin Chen. We can't involve your Yu family."

How could Yu Nian possibly leave? She had already foreseen that the current situation would either result in Lin Chen's death or the Hua family's demise.

"Lin Chen, I beg you, please spare my uncle and second cousin. My eldest cousin has already personally escorted those undercover agents back to Jiangcheng. Please release my uncle first, and we can talk things out." Yu Nian pleaded tearfully, "My uncle and the others have never wronged you or your Lin family, so why must you be so ruthless towards them?"

"Ask this old bastard himself if he has ever truly wronged me." Lin Chen made no attempt to hide the murderous intent in his eyes, picked up a gun and pointed it at Hua Dongchen's chest, leaning down to whisper in his ear, "You shouldn't touch her."

As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled the trigger.

With a loud thud, Hua Dongchen collapsed to the ground, blood streaming from his chest.

Upon seeing this, the bodyguard immediately pulled the trigger and fired at Lin Chen.

Gunshots rang out. Seeing that Lin Chen had been shot, Yu Nian broke down in tears, crying, "Stop! Stop it all! Don't shoot him! No!"

No matter how desperately she screamed, the gunfight didn't stop.

Lin Chen, shot in the shoulder, knocked down one bodyguard after another, but ultimately he was outnumbered. Just as he was about to fall, his white clothes stained with blood, after being shot in the chest again, he heard a police siren.

A Pangnan military helicopter then flew overhead, and the commander on board ordered the bodyguards to stop firing in Pangnan.

Upon seeing the arrival of the police and military personnel, the bodyguards quickly lowered their guns.

Upon seeing this, Yu Nian quickly ran to Lin Chen and helped him up.

Lin Chen, weakened by blood loss, gripped her shoulders, his last vestiges of consciousness barely registering as he whispered in her ear, "Don't think I don't know why Hua Yin kidnapped Lu Siqi that day. Yu Nian, listen to me: whoever it is—the Hua family, the Yu family, and you, Yu Nian—whoever it is, must pay the price for hurting her." Before he finished speaking, the Bangnan police rushed in, handcuffed him, and immediately took him away from the scene.

Yu Nian stood there, still shaken, watching her uncle Hua Dongchen and second cousin Hua Yin being carried into the ambulance. Seeing the bright red blood all over the ground and remembering Lin Chen's words, she instantly broke down and knelt on the ground, crying loudly.

Because only now did she realize that this disaster was caused by her.

……

Yanxi District, Beicheng.

Lu Siqi sat in front of the French windows, watching the large snowflakes falling outside. Only when the ground was covered by snow did she slowly look away, pick up her phone from the sofa, and see the news headline pushed to her.

"A plane exploded during landing at Yunjiang Airport; the number of casualties is still unknown..."

"Bangnan police announced that around 6:15 PM, a Chinese man shot and injured people and then attempted to detonate explosives. Police have apprehended the man..."

Scrolling down further, almost all the news was about Musen's shooting in Bangnan and the plane explosion at Yunjiang Airport.

Perhaps because she had anticipated this, Lu Siqi felt no emotion whatsoever, as if none of this concerned her.

She calmly opened the social media app, found Sheng Huai'an in her contacts of only a dozen or so people, opened the chat page, and saw that the last message was still dated a few months ago. She typed a line: "Can you still keep the promises you made to me in Hong Kong back then?"

An hour after she sent the message, Sheng Huai'an replied: "I have already taken a long leave and am on my way to the airport. I will arrive at Beicheng Capital Airport before 10:30 pm."

After reading the reply, Lu Siqi's pale lips parted slightly, and she smiled with relief as she pressed the voice message button, saying, "Thank you, Sheng Huai'an."

"I am the one who should thank you. Thank you for giving me this opportunity."

After sending the voice message, Sheng Huai'an glanced at the photo of the suspect, Mu Sen, on the news page. Although it was just a side profile, he had already guessed the man's true identity. Lu Siqi asking him about the promise she made at this time undoubtedly confirmed his previous guess.

He couldn't guess what Lu Siqi's purpose was in contacting him, but the fact that this woman thought of him first when she encountered difficulties made him feel a joy he had never felt before.

Because he didn't care about the order of appearance at all, he only cared about the final outcome.

……

When Song Nuan finished her work at the company and came to the hospital to see Lu Siqi, she saw that Lu Siqi was already dressed neatly, as if she was about to go out.

"Where are you going?" After putting down the tonics she had brought for her, Song Nuan reminded her, "Let me tell you, you can't go anywhere right now. Before I came, I heard Gu Shi say that those old fogies in the cabinet are sticking to Mu Sen this time, insisting that your mission was Mu Sen's personal act, and they want the Special Zone to detain and interrogate all of you informants one by one."

"The intention is quite clear: they want to use the Mu Sen incident to remove Gu Shi from his position as director, and then drag your Lu family into it as well."

Lu Siqi nodded. "I've already guessed their purpose."

"Then why are you still going out?"

“If I keep my distance, it will only bring trouble to the Lu family.”

Song Nuan could tell that she was worried about her condition being exposed. "Don't worry, our company has a confidentiality agreement with this hospital. Even if Gu Shi comes in person, they won't dare to hand over your medical records. Besides, it's not your real information that's being registered, so what are you afraid of?"

“Brother Gu is already in dire straits, I can’t drag him down with me.” Lu Siqi walked up to her. “Song Nuan, I know you’re a righteous person and always have my best interests at heart, but at a time like this, I can’t keep hiding like a coward.”

"But the situation is already set, even if you step in, you can't change anything, can you?"

"I cannot change it, but someone else can."

"Who?" Song Nuan asked, her eyes full of doubt, because she really couldn't believe that if Gu Shi couldn't change the current situation, who else could?

Lu Siqi didn't hide anything and directly said the person's name: "Sheng Huai'an".
