Chapter 138: Courting Death? Send Her To Her Death
When the three of them arrived home after eating barbecue, it was already half past eleven.
After saying goodbye to them, Song Fengwan returned to her room to wash up. After the ma.s.sage, her body really felt soft and comfortable all over.
She turned on the desk lamp and pulled out the carving tools she had stolen from Qiao Xiyan’s room. Then she pulled out the hibiscus stone she had bought at the antique market from her drawer.
The hibiscus stone was already polished. It was about the size of a thumbnail and a translucent light pink. She wanted to carve a hole in it, braid a ta.s.sel, and then hang it on the newly bought Buddhist prayer bead bracelet.
It was going to be a birthday gift for Fu Chen.
As a student, she couldn’t afford to give him anything too expensive. The hole is quite rough, so I hope he doesn’t dislike it.
She had never learned to carve before, but she had seen it many times and knew a little bit about it. After she held the carving knife for a long time, the skin between her thumb and index finger was rubbed red, and there was a dull pain.

Fu Chen wasn’t asleep at the moment. After showering, he was reading doc.u.ments in his study.
s.h.i.+ Fang was beside him, working on the computer. He was labeling and arranging the work for the next few days according to what Fu Chen said while Qian Jiang was standing nearby waiting.
After Fu Chen finished some of his work, he turned his head and looked at Qian Jiang. “You told me that you just saw Cheng Lan?”
“Yes, right at the entrance of the ma.s.sage center.”
“She knows my schedule very well.” Fu Chen sneered.
“She’s been always pursuing you. There was a period of time when you came back from mountain climbing and often went there to look for a ma.s.seuse to ma.s.sage your feet. She must have bribed a waiter to tip her off,” s.h.i.+ Fang muttered.
Fu Chen picked up the Buddhist prayer bead bracelet on the side and rubbed the beads one by one without saying anything.
“Last time, Miss Song’s puppy love and the incident at the tutoring center were all her doing. Third Master, are you just going to let her do whatever she wants?”
Qian Jiang frowned. “Beat her up? I’ll go!”
He had a straightforward personality, and he had witnessed the incident at the tutoring center with his own eyes. He already couldn’t hold it in a long time ago.
“With her appearing this time, I’m afraid she’s going to cause trouble again.” s.h.i.+ Fang was speechless. This woman is simply a lunatic. Many people have pestered Third Master before, but I’ve never seen someone so shameless.
“I originally wanted to wait until Wanwan returned to Yuncheng to teach her a lesson. Keep an eye on her first. If she dares to court death again…” Fu Chen’s lips curled up. “Then just send her to her death.”
His gaze was already cold.
s.h.i.+ Fang and Qian Jiang looked at each other and didn’t say another word.

Ten minutes later, there was a knock on the door. Duan Linbai strode into the study in ice blue pajamas.
“You’re still working so late?” Duan Linbai handed a cup of hot tea to Fu Chen and drank a cup of coffee himself.
“I’m busy.”
“I sent you the pictures.”
“Huh?” Fu Chen raised his eyebrows.
“I just sent them to you on WeChat. You didn’t see them?” Fu Chen’s phone was beside his hand.
“I muted your notifications,” Fu Chen said very self-justifiably.
Duan Linbai turned his head around and took a sip of coffee. It’s so f*cking bitter.
“You said that your back was sore at the plaza earlier?” Fu Chen turned his head and looked at Duan Linbai.
“What? I was squatting in the cold wind for so long, sacrificing myself for your happiness. Now you know how to feel pity for me?” Duan Linbai snorted. At least he has some conscience.
Fu Chen smiled and said nothing.
Duan Linbai squatted in the study for a while and said that after they finished their family gatherings, they should go out and meet up with some friends. It was almost the new year, and everyone was busy, so it was rare for them to be able to get together.
“I want to spend my birthday with her.”
Duan Lin choked. “Doesn’t your mom want to do a ‘concubine-choosing’ banquet for you?”
“I talked to her, and we came to an agreement.”
“With your mom’s temper, she wouldn’t have let you off so easily if you didn’t give her something in return.”
“I said that I would bring a girlfriend home next year. Otherwise, she can handle me however she wants.”
Duan Linbai almost spat out his coffee.
“Wanwan will be an adult next year. I plan to bring her home.”
Duan Linbai smiled bitterly. “I’m going back to my room.”
He walked stiffly to his room. Isn’t this guy a little too confident? Is he so sure that Little Sister Song will definitely like him and even go home with him?
He’s so bold to make such a promise to his mom.
Don’t forget that you’re still f*cking in a one-sided relations.h.i.+p.
After returning to his room, he couldn’t fall asleep. So he started a game of PUBG and was having fun when Qian Jiang knocked on his door and gave him two bottles of medicine.
“Third Master said that your back is sore due to kidney deficiency. For men, it’s very fatal to have a bad waist.”
Duan Linbai looked at the bottles with a dumbfounded expression. On top of the bottles, it said ‘Six Flavor Rehmanni’.
Used for kidney yin damage and sore back and knees…
F*ck!
He was so angry that he threw the medicine bottles into the trash can. When he turned his head, he saw that he had been killed in the game.
My horoscope is definitely not compatible with Fu Chen’s.

The next day…
Song Fengwan had stayed up late last night in order to make the hole. When she woke up, it was already past nine. Fu Chen had gone to the office while Duan Linbai was still sleeping.
Uncle Nian was surprised and thought that she had stayed up late studying yesterday. “Even if you have exams, you can’t stay up late like this.”
“I know.” Song Fengwan lowered her head guiltily. “Uncle Nian, where’s the nearest mall?”
“Tell me what you need.”
“No, it’s fine. I’d like to go see for myself.” She wanted to give a gift, so she needed to keep it secret.
Uncle Nian thought that she wanted to buy some personal female items, so he didn’t insist. “It’s very close. I’ll get the chauffeur to take you there. It’s about seven minutes away. You can also take three stops on the Route 52 bus from the bus stop at the entrance of your school to get there.”
“Okay.” Song Fengwan nodded with a smile. After eating, she grabbed her backpack and left. Qian Jiang was already in the car waiting for her, so she had no choice but to take the car to the mall.
The car stopped in the underground garage. Song Fengwan saw him turn off the engine, so she hurriedly said, “I’m going shopping. It might take an hour or two. Please wait for me and don’t follow me.”
Qian Jiang hesitated for a moment.
“Big Brother Qian Jiang~” Song Fengwan stared at him, her voice coy.
“Okay, I’ll wait for you here.” Qian Jiang was a straight man and couldn’t stand girls acting cute.
But when Song Feng got out of the car, he still followed her secretly.
She walked around the stores selling gold and silver accessories before entering an accessory store on the fourth floor. She stayed there for nearly two hours before coming out satisfied.
Qian Jiang was afraid that she would find him and ran to the underground garage to get the car.
When Song Fengwan went back, she even bought two cups of bubble tea. She didn’t know Qian Jiang’s preferences, so she ordered a cla.s.sic for him.
It was not the weekend today, and it was morning, so there weren’t many people in the mall. Only she and two young men were in the elevator.
She stood at the entrance of the elevator and glanced at the moving numbers. From the blurry mirror of the elevator, she saw the two men leaning their heads together and whispering.
The two of them weren’t very old. It was currently the middle of winter, yet they were only wearing thin leather clothes. Their hair was dyed trending hair colors, and black and green tattoos were faintly visible on their necks and wrists.
Song Fengwan tightened her grip on the cups of bubble tea in her hands and got out of the elevator when it reached the first floor.
She was supposed to take the lift to the bas.e.m.e.nt floor, but the two of them seemed to be staring at her, giving her a bad feeling. So she decided to get off the elevator to avoid them.
There were more people on the first floor, so she felt more at ease after blending into the crowd.
She found the safety exit and went down the stairs to the underground garage.
The stairwell was so quiet that she could even hear a pin drop, and the sound of footsteps was loud and clear. She heard frantic footsteps coming from behind her, and it was clear that there was more than one person. Her heart skipped a beat. She picked up her pace and ran down the stairs while making a call.
As soon as the call connected, she heard someone calling her from behind. “Song Fengwan?”
She subconsciously turned her head. It was the two men she had seen in the elevator, and they suddenly rushed toward her…

Fu Chen was in a meeting at his company. It would be the end of December soon, so the company had to do a year-end summary and plan next year’s goals and objectives. The atmosphere in the meeting room was tense.
Buzz— A phone vibrated.
Everyone was dumbfounded. Who the f*ck is looking for death and not putting their phone on silent during the meeting?
Just as everyone was looking around for the unlucky person, Fu Chen picked up his phone. Before he could say anything, he heard a scream from the other end…
Then everyone saw Fu Chen’s face instantly freeze, and his expression was extremely cold.
