The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

Li Ren discovered a small line of black writing on the stone wall of a rock. Upon closer inspection, he realized what it contained.

"Miss Gu, we've taken a few of your lives as a greeting gift today. If you don't want to resort to violence and cause further casualties, come to Wansheng Hall the night after tomorrow for a chat. Black Viper."

"These people are too arrogant. What do they think our Gu family is, that they can come and go as they please!"

Li Ren was furious. These people actually set their sights on Miss Gu, which was unacceptable.

"I don't know what these people are up to. No, I have to report to Miss immediately."

After thinking for a moment, Li Ren immediately turned around to look for Gu Tingfang.

They all knew that Gu Tingfang was quite famous in Guangling, but this fame didn't come from her being particularly capable; rather, it was because of her beauty, which made her renowned for her stunning looks.

This was both a good thing and a troubling matter for Gu Tingfang.

If things are going well, such a reputation does indeed benefit the Gu family's jewelry sales. Many wealthy businessmen buy up large quantities of goods without batting an eye when they come, largely because they want to show off in front of Gu Tingfang.

But what kind of people hadn't Gu Tingfang seen? This behavior only annoyed Gu Tingfang, but he couldn't lose his temper because he was, after all, the head of the Gu family and had to think about the Gu family's large business.

However, such a situation eventually leads to exhaustion, which is why Gu Tingfang always looks worried whenever we see her.

Anyone who stays in this kind of environment for a long time will probably end up in the same state.

"Young Master Fang, I'm going to find Miss Gu now. Would you like to come with me?"

Fang Yun originally intended to go with him, but suddenly remembered the message on her phone. She immediately asked Li Ren to ask for leave on her behalf, and then hurriedly walked towards the gate.

"I wonder how those two are doing. I hope nothing bad has happened to them," Fang Yun thought to herself.

He knew that Chen Xiaonan and Li Jiaying's skills were enough to deal with some petty thugs, but they would definitely not be enough when they encountered a master.

Moreover, these two are women, and they don't have that much strength, so they probably wouldn't be able to handle a very complicated situation.

As he thought about it, Fang Yun quickened his pace.

Meanwhile, Fang Yun tried dialing that phone, and soon the call started ringing.

But no one answered for a long time.

Fang Yun's face showed a solemn expression. Could it be that something bad had really happened to the two of them?

Just then, the ticking sound suddenly stopped, indicating that the call had been connected.

Fang Yun quickly brought the receiver to his ear and said, "Hello, Xiao Nan, where are you now? Is the situation serious?"

Fang Yun said it several times, but didn't say anything.

"Hey, Xiaona, are you there? Say something."

"You're the accomplice they called in?"

At that moment, a male voice with a hint of laughter came over.

"Who are you? What did you do to them (money)?"

Fang Yun said in a deep voice.

"Haha, these two girls are waiting for you to rescue them. Although I know about this, I won't stop you or run away because I want you to do something for me."

Fang Yun frowned and asked, "What is it?"

"Hahaha, these two girls keep saying their families are rich, I don't know if it's true or not. You better bring me 100,000 yuan right now. If you arrive but don't have the money, I'll make you regret it!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Yun felt a sense of relief, but repeatedly assured him, "Don't worry, I'll prepare the money right away. Just don't do anything bad, or the money will be gone."

Chapter 536 Teaching a Lesson to the Villain

Meanwhile, on the side of the street, the tall, muscular man turned off his phone, a smug look on his face.

"How about that, brothers? I got this without any effort, and I got 100,000 yuan for free."

The man was naturally very eager to see Chen Xiaonan and her companion, but for him, money was also essential. He figured it wouldn't hurt to enjoy the two of them after he got the money.

"Brother, even if we take care of these two girls first, that kid will still have to obediently send over the money."

Upon hearing this, the man slapped the other man on the head and said, "Are you stupid? What if you find out something's wrong, and the person doesn't come to deliver the money, or runs away halfway through? Don't you have any patience at all?"

"Yes, yes, elder brother is right to reprimand you."

Chen Xiaonan and Li Jiaying, who were tied up in the car, heard that Fang Yun was heading this way. Their faces showed a hint of joy, but they were afraid that these people would suddenly change their minds and leave. So they deliberately shouted, "You scoundrels, I advise you to take the money and not bully my brother!"

The man burst into laughter again upon hearing this: "Then we'll see if you two little beauties will listen to me."

As he spoke, the man's eyes swept over the two of them again, and his lewd expression almost made Chen Xiaonan and the other woman gag. They could only secretly pray that Fang Yun would arrive as soon as possible.

Fang Yun had arrived at top speed. After hailing a taxi, he slipped an extra hundred yuan into the driver's hand, asking him to go as fast as he could.

The driver was about to say something, but for the sake of the money, he started speeding in a place without red lights.

"Young man, you seem a bit uneasy and your brow is furrowed. Could it be that something urgent has happened?"

The driver could see Fang Yun's expression through the rearview mirror, and immediately asked out of curiosity.

"Yes, two friends are having some trouble and they're asking me to help them."

"That guy is really loyal; he'd go to great lengths for his friends."

The driver's attempts to lighten the mood had little effect on Fang Yun. Although the car was already going quite fast, Fang Yun rolled down the window a little further until the wind outside made his collar flutter, at which point he felt a little cooler.

The weather wasn't particularly hot, but Fang Yun felt a surge of restlessness, especially with the red tin roof outside the window and the red signboard hanging on the stall, which seemed to burn like flames within him.

The car was moving at breakneck speed, and twenty minutes later, they arrived at the street Fang Yun had mentioned. It was near the suburbs, so there weren't many people around.

"Hey buddy, you overpaid me, here's my change..."

"no need."

Fang Yun haphazardly pulled out a handful of money, threw it at the driver, and immediately got out of the car. He then saw a wide commercial street.

There weren't many pedestrians on the street. Fang Yun saw one and immediately went over to ask eagerly, "Excuse me, is there a candy store here?"

The passerby was a girl of about ten years old, who was playing with a plush toy in her hand. When she heard Fang Yun ask, she smiled and said, "What, you like candy too?"

Fang Yun asked, "Do you know where that place (BJBD) is?"

"That place is very famous. I heard they have many kinds of candy. You've made the right choice buying candy here."

"I'm asking you, where is that place!" Fang Yun snapped, startling the girl, who quickly pointed in a direction.

By the time she came to her senses, Fang Yun had already disappeared.

"Oh, how terrible. This is the first time I've seen someone like sweets to this extent."

The girl patted her chest, and it took her a while to come to her senses.

Meanwhile, Fang Yun headed straight for that location. He had heard that Pink Memory was one of the few shops in the area with glass windows, which greatly sped up Fang Yun's search. Any shop without glass windows could be glanced at without hesitation.

After turning several corners, a silver-gray minivan suddenly came into Fang Yun's view, and a few thugs were leaning against the vehicle, chatting and laughing.

Fang Yun immediately understood what was going on. As he walked in that direction, he coldly asked, "So, you're the ones who kidnapped them?"

Fang Yun's sudden statement startled the men who were chatting, but when they looked over, smiles appeared on their faces.

"Wow, so fast! If it weren't for the money you had on you, we brothers really wouldn't have waited that long."

"Where is he?" Fang Yun asked.

The man smiled and waved his hand, and immediately someone pulled Chen Xiaonan and the other person out again.

Seeing that their hands were tied behind their backs, their hair was disheveled, and they had several bloody marks on their bodies, Fang Yun couldn't help but feel sorry for them.

When Chen Xiaonan and Fang Yun arrived, they breathed a deep sigh of relief, and their highly tense minds finally began to relax.

"Kid, the person's here, but where's the money?"

The tall, burly man glanced at Fang Yun with disdain and said.

"Money or your life?" Fang Yun's sudden question left the other party bewildered.

"What?".

Chapter 537 Villain

"I say, you now have two choices: first, kneel down immediately and apologize to the two girls; second, I will take your lives right now."

"If it's the former, you still have a chance to survive; if it's the latter, then you'll have nothing left."

Fang Yun was barely suppressing his anger. He originally had no intention of showing any mercy to these people, but fortunately, Chen Xiaonan and the other two had not suffered any real harm, so Fang Yun decided to give them a chance to choose.

"Brothers, did I hear that right?"

Upon hearing Fang Yun's words, the young man's face showed disbelief, while the others laughed uncontrollably, looking at Fang Yun as if he were an idiot.

"Kid, I have to say, I really admire your courage. If it were anyone else, they wouldn't dare to come over alone."

"But I still have to tell you some bad news today. We have no intention of handing these two young women over to you. If we don't say this, I'm afraid you won't be able to get your 100,000 yuan."

"However, if you can bring another 100,000, we can return it to you after we've had our way with these two young women."

The tall, strong young man was all smiles, and the more serious Fang Yun looked, the more his smile grew.

"Look at this, he's giving us both a beautiful woman and money. How can we possibly thank him enough?"

The young man laughed so hard he almost fell over, his gaze towards Fang Yun more like that of someone teasing fish on a cutting board.

"Alright, since that's the case, then I won't hold back anymore. But remember, you got this all by your own doing."
