“But even if you die, she will still live well. I don’t want her to die, nor do I want you to die, but I’m not willing to see her live too freely.” As she said these words, Namiu’s expression was very calm. She blinked at Wei Shuyi, looking like a demoness. “Guess, what gift did I prepare for her arrival?”
The proud and eager smile on Namu’s lips made Wei Shuyi’s heart turn cold.
A chill started from his spine and quickly spread throughout Wei Shuyi’s body.
He suddenly felt fear.
“What are you doing…” Wei Shuyi’s voice was trembling.
Namu shook her right index finger, which was smeared with black nail polish, in front of her mouth. “Shh. It’s a secret for now. You’ll know later.”
Wei Shuyi knew that he wouldn’t be able to get any results from asking, so he stopped asking her.
He secretly pressed the diamond on his ring a few more times and prayed that Fang Yusheng and the rest would discover his distress.
“Daddy, I really don’t like carrots!”
Fang Zikai looked at the carrots in the bowl and revealed a hateful expression.
At the side, Fang Zicheng ate the carrot in small bites. His brows were tightly furrowed. Clearly, he hated its taste too.
Fang Yusheng snorted. “You have to eat it even if you don’t want to. I’ll allow you to play whenever you finish eating.”
Fang Zikai complained to Fang Yusheng anxiously, “Daddy, you’re too ruthless! You have the heart of a dog and the stomach of a chicken. You’re bad!” He had heard the words’ heartless’ and ‘petty’ before, but he had forgotten those words and after thinking for some time, he only said two inappropriate words.
Fang Yusheng slapped him on the head. “If you continue nagging, I’ll video call your Uncle Yan Nuo.”
At the thought of Yan Nuo’s face that had been frozen in the refrigerator for more than ten years, Fang Zikai instantly cowered.
“I-I’ll eat, okay…”
Yan Nuo did not know that he had such a scary image in the heart of that little brat from the Fang family.
Fang Yusheng felt relieved. When making friends, people like Yan Nuo had many functions.
Fang Zicheng finally finished the carrots in his bowl. “Dad, I’m done.”
“Good job Cheng Cheng.”
He touched Fang Zicheng’s head to praise him.
Fang Zikai widened his eyes in anger.
“It’s not fair. Dad, every time you touch your brother’s head, you’re always gentle. But what about me? When have you not slapped me?” Unlike Qiao Jiusheng, who had treated the two children fairly while educating them, Fang Yusheng was someone who did it simply and crudely.
Whoever was right would be praised. Whoever was stubborn would be ‘beaten’.
Hence, after hearing Fang Zikai’s words, Fang Yusheng glanced at him and snorted coldly. He said, “Because you’re not as obedient as your brother. Your brother doesn’t like to eat carrots either, but he will obediently finish them. What about you?” His gaze swept across the bowl in Fang Zikai’s mouth, and the corners of his lips twitched. “You deserve to be beaten.”
Fang Zikai looked at his brother with fiery eyes. “It’s all your fault.”
His brother gave him a cold look.
Fang Zikai immediately cowered.
He took a few bites of the carrot and quickly ran to drink a cup of water. Only then did he feel better.
Fang Yusheng put away the two little fellows’ bowls. Just as he walked to the kitchen, he heard a sharp alarm coming from the study room. Fang Yusheng suddenly threw aside the bowls and ran to the study room under Fang Zikai and Fang Zicheng’s surprised gazes.
Fang Zikai was a coward and hid beside his brother in fear.
He pulled his brother’s clothes and asked softly, “Is an earthquake coming?”
Fang Zicheng was speechless.
Binjiang City holds an earthquake exercise every year. Every time it was held, an alarm would be raised. Just more than twenty days ago, Binjiang City had just held an earthquake exercise. Fang Zikai had heard that an earthquake was very scary. He pulled his brother’s clothes and his mind had already started to think about which family belongings to pack when they escaped later.
“You’re overthinking.” Fang Zicheng gave Fang Zikai a concerned look.
Fang Zikai still felt a little afraid.
Although he was only two years old, he was good at judging people’s expressions.
He quickly let go of his brother’s sleeve and pretended to be bold. He said fearlessly, “I know. I’m scaring you.”
Fang Zicheng was speechless.
He did not feel shocked at all.
Fang Yusheng entered the study and saw that the alarm in the lower right corner of the computer was ringing. Red lights were flas.h.i.+ng non-stop. He quickly turned on the computer and turned on the alarm system. When he realized that the distress signal came from a high-cla.s.s villa in a small county in Binjiang City, he frowned.
After seeing that it was Wei Shuyi, Fang Yusheng immediately called Qi Bufan.
Qi Bufan picked up the phone very quickly.
“Sir.”
“Bufan, bring a few skilled people to Pingfeng County City. I’ll send you the address later. You guys go first. I’ll be there with Ah Sheng soon.”
Fang Yusheng’s serious tone made Qi Bufan serious as well.
“Who’s in trouble?”
“Wei Shuyi.”
“Mr. Wei?” Qi Bufan pondered for a moment before asking, “Do we need to bring weapons?”
This country forbade private possession of guns.
Fang Yusheng asked him in a low voice, “You can get a gun?”
“I can’t, but Captain Gao can.”
Captain Gao was an outstanding soldier. He had the rank of a lieutenant colonel and was forced to leave the team temporarily because of his injuries. However, he had once carried out a special mission and was afraid that he would be taken revenge on. His superiors allowed him to carry a gun with him. He had quite a lot of power and his status was not ordinary. It was not surprising that he could get a gun.
“He can bring it just in case.”
“Okay.”
Qi Bufan handed the rest of the work to Instructor Lin, and he brought Captain Gao and a few other retired soldiers to their training base to be instructors. They set off for Pingfeng County.
These people were all outstanding people who had fought on the battlefield and killed their enemies. Many of them were influential figures in their respective armies and were elites in all aspects. With them taking action, Fang Yusheng was slightly relieved. He called Qiao Jiusheng again.
Qiao Jiusheng was eating and drinking at Wei Xin’s place. When she received the call, she ran home without a word.
The two of them drove their sports car to Pingfeng County.
On the way, Qiao Jiusheng’s expression was very gloomy.
The scenery by the roadside flashed past them.
Fang Yusheng asked Qiao Jiusheng, “Didn’t you say that there was a misunderstanding between them in their previous life so Beauty jumped off the building?”
“Brother Wei never talked to me about Sister Beauty. He only told me that there was a misunderstanding between them. I thought that Sister Beauty’s death was related to a misunderstanding.” Wei Shuyi was already about to die. If he suddenly sent a distress signal, there must be a dangerous situation.
Then Sister Beauty’s death was very likely related to this matter!
Qiao Jiusheng’s heart was in a mess. She asked Fang Yusheng. “Have Bufan and the rest arrived?”
“I’ll make a call.”
Fang Yusheng called and turned on the loudspeaker. Qiao Jiusheng heard Qi Bufan say, “We’ve already gotten off the highway and are driving towards Pingfeng County City. We’ll be there in twenty minutes at the latest..”
