Chapter 976: Who Could Lay a Finger on Her?
Morocco’s sunset was always breathtakingly beautiful, making one feel as if they were enveloped in a warm orange world.
Fu Huai’an stood with his back facing the sunset. With his tall and broad figure standing next to the car, he was rather eye-catching. It caused the ladies in the production crew to animatedly discuss how Fu Huai’an looked in a combat uniform and how he looked now in a suit—that in both cases, he was awfully handsome.
Fu Huai’an’s deep and black eyes were full of pa.s.sion and adoration as he stared at her, making Lin Nuan unable to resist smiling. The way she was walking couldn’t conceal the jubilant feelings in her heart.
“Why have you come?” Lin Nuan stood beside Fu Huai’an, looking up at his well-defined features. “Didn’t you say you were going to have dinner with Mr. Aziz Felta tonight?”
“Mm!” Fu Huai’an answered. He grabbed Lin Nuan’s slender wrist and pulled her into his arms. “I missed you very much, so I left in advance!”
Lin Nuan, who was hugged tightly, raised her head. “But is it okay for you to leave just like that? Didn’t you say that Aziz Felta has diverse businesses and that there’s a large opportunity for the Kaide Corporation to cooperate with him in business?”
“That isn’t nearly as important as fetching my wife from work!” Fu Huai’an’s deep and raspy voice sounded very alluring.
Lin Nuan smiled even more vibrantly. “Let’s go back, lest Tuan Tuan gets anxious!”
“Let’s eat dinner outside today!” Fu Huai’an held Lin Nuan with one hand, pulling open the car door for her with the other, asking Lin Nuan to get into the car with a laugh.
Lin Nuan got into the car, then looked at Fu Huai’an, who was full of smiles with one hand placed on the car door. She said, “I have this feeling that you’re up to no good, that you’re going to bully me!”
“Let’s talk in the car!” Fu Huai’an helped Lin Nuan close the door, then walked around the back of the car.
Little Lu quickly pulled open the door for Fu Huai’an…
After getting into the car, Fu Huai’an held Lin Nuan’s hand and said, “Have you seen the Weibo posts released by the deputy chief editor of Haicheng Daily?”
Lin Nuan nodded. “Mm, I’ve seen them…”
“You never told me that you found a lead on human trafficking!” When Fu Huai’an spoke, his voice was very low, and he didn’t sound happy.
“There’s nothing to talk about. Back then, I handed the stuff to a reporter because I wasn’t planning on returning home yet… I had hoped that he would be able to help more people! It wasn’t like I was fearless or anything…”
“Then what about later, when news came out about Chu Xun’s winning the prize, why did you keep quiet?” Fu Huai’an asked.
Now that she was with Fu Huai’an, Lin Nuan didn’t wish to talk about Wen Moshen, so she said, “At that time, I wasn’t paying attention to the news. Moreover… it’s not like I was the only one who could obtain a lead like that. Perhaps she took the photos before I did. I couldn’t possibly deny other people of what they had done simply because I obtained some information…”
Fu Huai’an reached out and pulled Lin Nuan into his arms, gently kissing her on the top of her head. After his throat gently vibrated, he said, “Thankfully…”
Thankfully, Lin Nuan had handed the news to the deputy chief editor of Haicheng Daily back then. And thankfully, Lin Nuan had maintained a positive att.i.tude when Chu Xun won a prize subsequently and hadn’t jumped out to say that she was the one who discovered the news after Chu Xun won the prize…
After Chu Xun won the prize, she was hunted for her life countless times!
And thankfully, Chu Xun had that kind of family background and was able to arrange many mercenaries to protect her. Later… there were gradually fewer people who came after Chu Xun to kill her. It went on until about a year ago, which was when those people finally stopped chasing after Chu Xun.
But if it had been Lin Nuan back then, merely the Lin family alone might not have been able to protect Lin Nuan. Fu Huai’an would definitely have let his wife slip by!
Hence, everything was destined!
“Thankfully?” Lin Nuan looked up at Fu Huai’an.
“After Chu Xun received the prize, some people were chasing after her to kill her for two entire years. It was only around a year ago that it gradually subsided…”
When Lin Nuan heard this, a chill ran down her back, and she felt like death had missed her by inches.
Recalling those years after moving out of the Lins’ house, when she rented a place by herself, if someone really came to kill her, it would have been as easy as crus.h.i.+ng an ant! Moreover, back then, Bai Xiaonian and Song Yao frequently went to stay over at her place!
If she had really revealed that news herself, never mind the fact that she would be dead, even Song Yao and Bai Xiaonian would be implicated by her!
Lin Nuan gripped Fu Huai’an’s warm and dry hand tightly, nodding. “Thankfully!”
Now, even if the news that Lin Nuan was the one who obtained this information was exposed, it didn’t matter. The people who were hungry for revenge back then had already lost the desire to take revenge with the pa.s.sing of time. And even if they still wanted to seek revenge… the Lin Nuan of now was no longer the Lin Nuan of the past. She now had Fu Huai’an protecting her by her side, so who could lay a finger on her?
…
At night, when Fu Huai’an and Lin Nuan came back, Tuan Tuan had already fallen asleep accompanied by Song Yao, and Cen Mo was smoking under the eaves.
Seeing Fu Huai’an and Lin Nuan get out of the car, Cen Mo threw the cigarette b.u.t.t on the ground and extinguished it with his foot. With both hands in his pockets, it was obvious he was waiting for Fu Huai’an.
Fu Huai’an held Lin Nuan’s waist. With just a glance at Cen Mo, he knew that Cen Mo had something to say. He said in a hushed voice to Lin Nuan, “Go upstairs first…”
Lin Nuan nodded and smiled at Cen Mo.
When Lin Nuan brushed shoulders with Cen Mo, Cen Mo’s lips moved a little. Words of thanks had just reached his lips, but he swallowed them back down.
It wasn’t because he had too much pride to say it out loud, but Cen Mo felt that no matter how many times he thanked her, it wouldn’t express how grateful he felt towards Lin Nuan!
Especially when he found out that Lin Nuan didn’t leave with the second group but instead stayed to take care of Lu Xiangsi, who had just given birth…
When he thought of how Lin Nuan had given her all to s.h.i.+eld Tuan Tuan, Cen Mo was very touched.
All these years, Cen Mo very rarely felt touched.
There was a world of difference between hearing someone talk about it and seeing the scene with his own eyes in the video!
This was especially since Lin Nuan could resolutely protect Tuan Tuan with a gun to her head. Such courage and incredible quality were worthy of touching one’s heart!
In the past, Cen Mo could have easily asked Fu Huai’an to thank Lin Nuan on his behalf. But now… his thanks towards Lin Nuan was heavy.
Cen Mo returned to his senses. Seeing Fu Huai’an walk to him, he asked, “You’re the one who deleted the video?”
Fu Huai’an nodded. “I don’t want to see people dig out Tuan Tuan’s ident.i.ty and make an issue of it all over again. Xiangsi is no longer around… I don’t want to rake up the past and disrupt Xiangsi’s peace!”
Cen Mo understood what Fu Huai’an meant, but still, he couldn’t hold back his anger…
If he hadn’t thought about Lin Nuan, he would certainly be unable to speak so rationally with Fu Huai’an.
After a long while, Cen Mo said to Fu Huai’an gloomily, “You don’t need to meddle in Xiangsi’s matter again. This Chu Xun… I don’t care what your feelings are towards her, nor what thoughts you have towards her! I hope you can stay out of this completely and not interfere!”
Fu Huai’an gazed at Cen Mo. He stood next to him under the roof, staring at the dark skies of Morocco. “It’s extremely easy to kill someone. If you want revenge, the most meaningless way is to claim someone’s life…”
