Chapter 791: The Coldness Seemed Stronger Than Previous Years
Lin Nuan only felt a chill darting up from the bottom of her feet to the top of her head…
It’d definitely not be anything good for Qin Zhe to come looking for Fu Huai’an!
Lin Nuan couldn’t forget the scene when Fu Huai’an encountered Qin Zhe in Dubai, how Qin Zhe had pointed a gun at Fu Huai’an after Fu Huai’an had saved him!
She couldn’t forget that until now, neither Fu Huai’an nor her could lead a peaceful life. All of that started from the trip to Dubai and Venice!
To Lin Nuan, Qin Zhe was like a disaster signal, causing her to be on tenterhooks and feel scared. She was afraid that things would be like how they had been the previous time, where terror kept on coming…
She couldn’t restrain her emotions and pushed Qin Zhe. “Leave! Right now!”
Qin Zhe hadn’t recovered from his injuries. Being pushed by Lin Nuan when he was unprepared for it, he knocked against the Chinese parasol tree behind him.
The acc.u.mulated snow on the branches fell, slipping down Lin Nuan’s neck from her bulky sweater’s collar. Lin Nuan felt so cold that she couldn’t help but s.h.i.+ver…
Qin Zhe’s hair and lashes were covered in snow, and his voice was choking as he said, “Sis-in-law…”
You Nainai held onto Lin Nuan’s coat, not knowing if she should head toward them.
Lin Nuan’s eyes turned red. She calmed down the turbulence in her heart a little, hugging her arms and attempting to stop the fierce bone-piercing chill. She tried to keep a calm voice as she said, “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have pushed you! But Qin Zhe… I beg of you, don’t come looking for Huai’an anymore. Huai’an has already retired from military service and isn’t related to the military anymore. Can you guys stop looking for him? He’s just an ordinary person now!”
Lin Nuan didn’t know Qin Zhe’s reason for showing up there. However, a woman’s sixth sense was never something that could be explained. Looking at Qin Zhe, Lin Nuan knew that he had come looking for Fu Huai’an with a purpose.
What Qin Zhe would come to request Fu Huai’an’s help for would definitely be something dangerous!
She knew that Qin Zhe and the others were on the side of justice. She also knew that they were a group of people who had put their lives on the line for most of the world, blocking the darkness so that they wouldn’t see it. She even knew that each and every one of them was admirable!
However, Lin Nuan’s heart was very small. She didn’t have an indomitable sacrificial spirit. She only hoped that Fu Huai’an could be safe and healthy. She was selfish and wanted to be with Fu Huai’an until they were old, and she didn’t wish for him to put himself in danger for the sake of the greater good or justice.
“I beg of you! Leave…” Lin Nuan spoke with a strong nasal voice filled with helplessness.
Qin Zhe’s eyes turned red, and he lowered his head as he let out a soft sigh. It wasn’t clear whether it was from a laugh or a sob. Then, he said, “Sis-in-law, I don’t want to come and look for Boss either. But Sis-in-law, Feng Yang’s wife died yesterday morning…”
Lin Nuan didn’t want to listen to him. Her emotions were already on the verge of going out of control. “I don’t want to hear it! I beg you, please, leave! Can you please leave?”
Qin Zhe raised his head, his face covered in tears, and his eyes filled with hatred. “She was already seven months into her pregnancy. Those b*stards pried open the stomach of Feng Yang’s wife while she was still alive, removing the child…”
When those words entered Lin Nuan’s ears, they formed a b.l.o.o.d.y and brutal scene in her mind. Her face turned pale, and her heart was filled with terror as she shook her head and said, “Stop it!”
Qin Zhe gritted his teeth, the green veins on his forehead and neck twitching fiercely. He shouted out hysterically for Lin Nuan to hear, “They injected the same thing into Feng Yang’s wife as they did to Feng Yang previously, letting her see with her own eyes as the child was…”
Qin Zhe’s voice stopped. Other than sobs, there were no other sounds that could come out of his throat…
He used all of his strength to shout that out and was now covered in sweat. Even though he had used all of his strength, he still couldn’t put the ferocious scene into words.
Qin Zhe slid down slowly against the tree trunk, his hands grabbing his hair tightly. “They… they recorded the entire process! Sis-in-law! They recorded it and sent it to Feng Yang’s mother, together with Feng Yang’s recording before his death! Sis-in-law… Sis-in-law…”
Qin Zhe, who was crying non-stop, was like a playback machine. His mind had broken down.
Feng Yang had died so terribly in order to protect him!
But he wasn’t even able to protect Feng Yang’s lover and their only child!
All of Lin Nuan’s hair stood up, and her scalp felt numb…
Even though Qin Zhe hadn’t shared the complete details, Lin Nuan could piece together the appalling story through the bits and pieces of what Qin Zhe had said.
A sharp cold wind brushed past her face and ears, like a sharp blade that had swept by. She could feel a piercing pain.
Lin Nuan lost the strength to urge Qin Zhe to leave because of what he said.
The black gate opened once again. As a black car slowly drove out, the car window of the rear pa.s.senger seat also rolled down slowly…
Lin Nuan looked at the mature and handsome face revealed from the car, appearing anxious.
When the deep and indifferent gaze landed on the terrible state of Qin Zhe, who was crying while squatting and leaning against a tree, Lin Nuan felt extremely scared that Fu Huai’an would put himself in danger because of the news that Qin Zhe brought.
The car slowly stopped next to Lin Nuan. Fu Huai’an opened the car door and stepped out, taking out his woolen coat and putting in on Lin Nuan…
Lin Nuan’s shoulders felt heavy. The coat that carried Fu Huai’an’s scent cut off the chill from the air that was like a sharp blade. However, the cold wind still messed up the long hair that draped down in front of Lin Nuan’s chest.
She heard Fu Huai’an calling out Qin Zhe’s name.
Qin Zhe raised his head and looked at Fu Huai’an, his tears falling even more fiercely. His emotions had broken down into a complete mess.
Lin Nuan’s heart was also in a complete mess.
The winter didn’t appear gentle due to the early arrival of the chill. The coldness seemed to be stronger than in previous years.
…
“I didn’t pa.s.s the psychological test, so they removed me from the mission. But I feel great hatred… I want to take revenge for Feng Yang! I want to take revenge for Feng Yang’s wife and child!” Qin Zhe covered his face with both hands and cried out loud.
Lin Nuan stood in front of the fireplace with a pale face, still hugging onto Fu Huai’an’s woolen coat. Her mind was in a complete mess as she looked at the man who had put on a tie seriously, was wearing a suit and leather shoes, and had a strong disposition.
He stood next to the coffee table and remained silent after listening to the story that Qin Zhe had told Lin Nuan when they were outside. He took out some cigarettes from his pocket, shook out one, and lowered his eyes. He clamped onto the cigarette with his thumb and index finger, bringing it to his mouth and biting on it. He then dug for his lighter from his pocket.
This time around, Lin Nuan didn’t go up to stop Fu Huai’an.
Every single detail of Fu Huai’an’s actions were being magnified by Lin Nuan’s eyes. She saw the fingers of the man, who had always been calm and composed, trembling slightly.
Even if no one else had noticed it, Lin Nuan could see it very clearly…
No matter how composed he appeared to be, Lin Nuan could tell that a torrent of emotions was hidden under his composed look.
It was because she only had eyes for that man!
Lin Nuan had hidden all the lighters. She lowered her eyes, her gaze landing on Fu Huai’an’s smart pants and clean leather shoes.
Fu Huai’an didn’t find the lighter. He moved the cigarette away from his lips and turned to ask Little Lu for one. “Lighter!”
