Chapter 182 You think I'm easily scared?
"I want to go back, I don't want to stay here." With that, Bai Wei turned to head towards the gate.
As soon as she opened the door, two burly men stood guard outside, stopping her as soon as she stepped out.
"Miss Bai, we have received orders from above that you cannot go out."
Bai Wei was both angry and anxious, and pushed them forcefully, "Why can't you let me out? I haven't broken the law!"
But the two men didn't move, only repeating expressionlessly, "Miss Bai, you can't go out."
Just as Bai Wei was at her wit's end, a man's voice sounded behind her: "Miss Bai, why waste your energy?" She turned around abruptly and saw the same man who had spoken to her earlier.
He slowly walked up to her, stopped, and looked at her with a complicated expression.
Then he said softly, "Miss Bai, the master has ordered us to protect you. We have no choice but to do this now. But don't worry, things will be different when the master arrives, and you won't be left here alone like this."
Bai Wei became even more puzzled after hearing his words.
She simply couldn't understand who had given the order to leave her alone in faraway London. This question lingered in her mind, leaving her completely baffled.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind:
She blurted out, "Fu?" The name lingered on her tongue, tinged with uncertainty and hesitation. She wondered if Fu Shiyue had brought her to this unfamiliar country.
The man was clearly surprised by her question. He frowned and asked疑惑地问道, "Pay for what?"
Looking at his expression, Bai Wei's doubts deepened.
Judging from his reaction, it doesn't seem to be Fu Shiyue.
So, who could it be?
Could it be...her brother? This thought made her heart sink, and she couldn't help but begin to doubt her brother.
Various speculations swirled in her mind, and the seed of doubt was quietly planted in her heart.
“If you have any needs, you can tell Anna. There is a language barrier between you. But don’t worry, I will provide you with a mobile phone. You just need to open the translator on it, and then say what you want to say in Chinese. The translator will automatically convert it into English so that Ann can understand.”
As he spoke, he pulled a cell phone out of his pocket and handed it to her without hesitation.
Bai Wei took the phone, inwardly marveling at how well-prepared the other party had been; everything was arranged so meticulously. Faced with this situation, she felt that she could only agree for now and see how things unfolded before making further plans.
After all, she still needs time to adapt to and understand this unfamiliar environment.
It's winter outside in London, at night—
This ancient yet modern city is draped in a pristine white coat in the silence of winter; the heavy snow, like fragments of time, gently falls on the ancient streets, turning every corner of the city silvery white.
Bai Wei lifted the curtains, and snowflakes danced in the air. They were light and graceful, like fairies in the sky, intertwining and swirling in the air before finally falling slowly.
The weather here is always like this, with snowy days.
Looking at the terrible weather outside the window, Bai Wei felt even more annoyed.
Just then, Anna walked in carrying a cup of hot coffee and said in broken Chinese, "Miss Bai, have a cup of coffee to warm up."
Bai Wei forced a smile and took the coffee. She took a sip.
A bitter taste spread through her mouth; she simply couldn't stand the coffee, and her brows furrowed instantly. The bitterness only made her more agitated. She slammed the coffee cup down on the table, her dissatisfaction finally reaching its peak. "Why is this coffee so bitter? I'm not drinking it."
She spoke to Anna, who looked blank and clearly didn't quite understand what she meant.
Bai Wei paced restlessly in the room, unsure how much longer she would be trapped there, or when the so-called "Mr." would arrive.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, feeling like a bird trapped in a cage, having lost its freedom.
Suddenly, her phone vibrated. It was a text message that read, "Be a good girl and wait. You'll see me soon." Bai Wei looked at the message.
There was no signature. Bai Wei was startled; this person seemed to be watching her all the time. She gripped her phone tightly, silently resolving that no matter who was behind it, she had to find a way to uncover the truth and leave this oppressive place.
Filled with anger and confusion, she wondered who this mysterious man was and what he wanted to do to her.
"Bai Wei is gone?" Shen Xian'an stood in front of Fu Shiyue's desk with a look of astonishment on his face. He slammed his hand on the desk as if he wanted to crush it, and said in disbelief.
"When did this happen?" Shen Xian'an's voice trembled slightly. He stared wide-eyed at Fu Shiyue, as if trying to find some answers on the other's face.
Fu Shiyue's face was unusually pale; his brows were tightly furrowed, and his lips were slightly white.
He slowly raised his hand and rubbed his temples, seemingly trying to relieve the waves of headache that were hitting him.
“A couple of days ago…” Fu Shiyue’s voice was a little hoarse, “she disappeared without a trace in the hospital overnight…”
His words revealed a deep sense of helplessness and anxiety. For the past few days, he had been searching everywhere for Bai Wei, but to no avail. Bai Wei seemed to have vanished into thin air, leaving no trace whatsoever.
"Where did Bai Yu take her?" Fu Shiyue muttered to himself, his fists clenching involuntarily. "There's no record of anything, absolutely nothing..."
"Then who do you suspect?" Shen Xian'an asked him directly and concisely.
How dare he kidnap his brother's woman, especially since his brother is not someone to be trifled with? Isn't he just jumping into a fire pit?
Fu Shiyue's eyes sharpened: "Bai Yu."
"Although he doesn't admit it, I know that the only one who wants to have designs on Aran is him, Aran's non-blood-related brother."
Shen Xian'an frowned. "If it really is Bai Yu, what is his purpose in doing this?" Fu Shiyue's eyes were icy. "He has always been jealous of me and Bai Wei being together. Perhaps he wants to take revenge on me, or perhaps he wants to get Bai Wei." Shen Xian'an slammed his hand on the table. "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go find Bai Yu and ask him directly." Fu Shiyue shook his head. "Without evidence, he won't admit it, and acting rashly might put Bai Wei in an even more dangerous situation."
At that moment, Fu Shiyue's phone suddenly rang. He took out his phone, glanced at the caller ID, and answered it with an extremely cold tone.
"explain."
On the other end of the phone, the assistant lowered his voice and spoke very quickly, with a hint of barely perceptible tension.
"President Fu, a Mr. Bai Yu has come to the company. He is at the front desk and wants to see you."
A meaningful glint flashed in his dark eyes: "Let him come up."
A few minutes later, Bai Yu pushed open the office door and saw Bai Yu standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with his back to him, dressed in a sharp suit and looking as elegant as a gentleman.
"Bai Yu, this is the first time you've come to see me."
Fu Shiyue's voice carried a hint of sarcasm.
He turned around, his face now filled with gloom.
"Tell me, where exactly is Aran?"
He got straight to the point, without beating around the bush.
"Mr. Fu, that's a strange question. Weiwei isn't my girlfriend, so how would I know where she is?"
"Besides, Weiwei has always been carefully taken care of by you. She disappeared right under your nose. I wonder whose heart is bothered by that..." Bai Yu's lips curled into a cold smile.
That smile was a mockery of Fu Shiyue.
Bai Yu deliberately emphasized the words "girlfriend".
Fu Shiyue's eyes grew increasingly gloomy, like the sea before a storm.
"Even if I knew, do you think I would tell you?"
He continued, "Weiwei is mine, you can't have her." "Do you think she's already tired of you?" Bai Yu raised an eyebrow, his tone light and casual, his words full of provocation.
Fu Shiyue's face turned ashen in an instant. His fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles cracked from the excessive force.
"Bai Yu!"
However, the moment he shouted the name, his fist struck Bai Yu's face with lightning speed.
Bai Yu clearly did not expect Fu Shiyue to make a sudden move, and he had no time to dodge.
With a dull thud, Fu Shiyue's fist landed squarely on Bai Yu's face.
Bai Yu's body slammed heavily against the bookshelf behind him.
The documents on the bookshelf were shaken and fell to the ground, making a series of crackling sounds.
Bai Yu's back slammed hard against the bookshelf, and he felt a sharp pain, but he gritted his teeth and endured it without crying out.
He slowly got up from the ground, a trace of blood still hanging from the corner of his mouth.
However, unexpectedly, he did not become angry because of his injury; instead, he suddenly burst out laughing.
"Hahahaha!" Bai Yu's laughter echoed in the room, tinged with mockery and disdain.
"I never expected this, I really never expected it. The dignified and composed CEO of the Fu Group would actually fight over a woman. It's truly a rare sight!" Bai Yu said with a laugh, his eyes full of mockery and provocation.
Fu Shiyue walked towards him, half-squatted down, looked at him, and said, "You came here today just to mock me?"
Bai Yu's initiative to come to the Fu family to see him this time was definitely not just for a simple verbal attack or provocation.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, raised his head, and said, "I came here to tell the high and mighty President Fu that the day your Fu Group goes bankrupt is not far off. I also came here to tell you that if you are any good or bad, you will be spared."
Fu Shiyue's eyes were icy, and a mocking smile curled at the corner of his mouth. "You? Bai Yu, do you think such a threat can scare me? The Fu family has come this far because the business world is far more ruthless and treacherous than you have ever been. You don't have the right to spout nonsense here. Do you think I, Fu Shiyue, am someone who can be easily intimidated?"
Looking at Bai Yu, she said, "You are not worthy."
Bai Yu straightened up and straightened his clothes. "Fu Shiyue, the business world is like a battlefield. I have plenty of bargaining chips to bring down the Fu family. If you obediently give up Bai Wei now, I can still save you some face."
“I will never let go of Aran, and the Fu family is not something you can shake now. If you dare to lay a hand on the Fu family, I will make you pay the price.”
Just then, Shen Xian'an walked in. Seeing the tense atmosphere, he stood next to Fu Shiyue and said, "Bai Yu, don't think you can cause any trouble. The strength of the Fu family is beyond your imagination."
Bai Yu sneered, "We'll see."
After saying that, he left the office without looking back.
Fu Shiyue watched Bai Yu's departing figure with a firm look in his eyes, "No matter what his schemes are, I will not let him succeed, and I will not let my beloved be harmed."
