The obsessive CEO's white moonlight is me

Chapter 141 Xie Huaijin has disappeared

Seeing her leave

Fu Shiyue stood there, his gaze fixed on her receding figure.

His doubts, however, remained unresolved.

The USB drive handed to Lu Fei contained only some unimportant and outdated business plans.

This made Fu Shiyue suspicious.

Who exactly wants to get rid of him?

I've offended quite a few business partners over the years.

The real USB drive isn't in the company, nor is it in Lu Fei's possession; that one is just a fake.

The most dangerous place is the safest place.

Only he himself knows the location of this secret...

She silently returned to her room, feeling somewhat heavy-hearted.

He went straight to the study, and the two went in completely opposite directions, as if the distance between them had been stretched even further at that moment.

She walked slowly, but her heart remained restless.

After walking for a while, she suddenly stopped and couldn't help but look back. She saw Fu Shiyue's figure gradually disappearing into the distance at the end of the corridor.

She gazed at the departing figure, a feeling she couldn't quite describe welling up inside her.

What kind of person is Fu Shiyue?

However, she didn't linger long and quickly turned back to continue walking forward. Although many questions still lingered in her mind, she decided to stop thinking about them, at least not now.

At the same time, just as she turned to leave, Fu Shiyue also stopped in his tracks.

He stood quietly in place, his gaze fixed on her receding figure.

As she grew smaller and smaller until she disappeared from sight, a ripple stirred in Fu Shiyue's heart.

Ye Xingran, which version of you is the real you? This question also troubled him, making his understanding of her seem even more blurred.

In the end, he stopped thinking about it, turned and left, leaving the corridor empty.

And the endless contemplation brought about by those two figures gradually disappearing into the distance.

Suddenly, a series of urgent knocks came from the study door, the sound standing out starkly in the quiet environment.

Before Fu Shiyue could respond, the door was suddenly pushed open, and someone rushed in.

Fu Shiyue looked closely and saw that it was Fu Silin. Behind her followed the butler, Lin, who looked flustered and had beads of sweat on his forehead. He gasped, "Young Master, Miss said she has something very important to tell you. I told her you were in your study and didn't want to be disturbed, but I..."

Before the butler could finish speaking, Fu Shiyue's gaze fell on Fu Silin, who had walked in from the front.

Fu Silin looked anxious, as if she had something urgent to say.

Fu Shiyue frowned slightly, feeling somewhat displeased with Fu Silin's uninvited behavior.

He looked at Fu Silin with a gloomy face and said coldly, "You're all grown up now, how come you still don't know any manners?"

"There's nothing for you to do here. Go and take care of Ye Xingran."

After saying that, the butler closed the door and left.

"Tell me, what's the matter that made you rush over here?"

Seeing her hesitant expression, Fu Shiyue probably guessed something.

"You came here because of Xie Huaijin?" Her gaze was sharp as she looked directly at Fu Shiyue, but she didn't speak, only nodding slightly in acknowledgment.

Upon seeing this, Fu Shiyue's lips curled up slightly, revealing a half-smile.

He leaned back in his chair with his arms crossed, seemingly having anticipated her reaction.

"That Xie Huaijin is nothing but a cowardly and incompetent man who is afraid of death."

Fu Shiyue's voice revealed a hint of disdain, "Even when you were in danger, he didn't know whether he ran away or what, and now he's nowhere to be found, yet you still can't forget him?"

Her expression changed slightly, and she wanted to refute, but Fu Shiyue didn't give her the chance and continued, "Brother, things aren't as you say. He didn't abandon me. The situation that day was complicated; he did indeed disappear."

She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and then told Fu Shiyue everything that had happened that day.

It turned out that at the Fu residence, Fu Silin refused to help Xie Huaijin.

Although Xie Huaijin had considered kidnapping Fu Silin to obtain funding for the Xie family business, after careful consideration, he realized that doing so would not only be foolish but would also cause him to lose a golden opportunity to save the Xie family business.

After all, Xie Huaijin knew Fu Shiyue's character all too well. If he really kidnapped Fu Silin, not only would he fail to obtain the funds, but he might also get into serious trouble and offend the Fu family.

That's when he was truly finished.

Just as Xie Huaijin was hesitating, Fu Silin suddenly turned around and happened to see Xie Huaijin standing right behind her.

"what are you doing?"

Xie Huaijin was startled by the sudden question, his eyes darting around, unsure how to answer.

Fu Silin looked at him like this,

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Fu Silin said coldly.

Xie Huaijin gazed at her, slowly walked forward, gently took her hand, and said softly with a tender expression, "I really don't have any other thoughts. I just feel guilty towards you. Although our relationship was just a matter of mutual benefit before, I did get a marriage certificate with you, and you've been racking your brains to find solutions for me, which even caused some conflicts between you and your family. So, I'd like to have a meal together later and have a good talk to clarify these things. What do you think? Actually, in my heart, I've always considered you my best partner."

However, deep down, wasn't this so-called "partnership" just the same thing?

The reason she chose to have a fake marriage with Xie Huaijin was simply because she preferred to find someone she knew a little to pretend to be her husband rather than have her family arrange a marriage for her with a complete stranger.

This way, at least she could temporarily deceive her parents and brother, preventing them from being put in too much of a predicament. At worst, after a year or two, she could file for divorce on the grounds of incompatibility, thus putting an end to this sham marriage.

A deep sense of helplessness welled up in Fu Silin's heart, as if she were being oppressed by an invisible force, making her feel somewhat breathless.

She looked at Xie Huaijin, her eyes revealing a complex mix of emotions—disappointment, helplessness, and a hint of expectation.

After a moment of silence, Fu Silin finally spoke slowly, her voice tinged with hesitation: "I'll trust you one more time." These words were not spoken lightly, as if she had made the decision after a deep internal struggle.

However, the moment Fu Silin uttered those words, Xie Huaijin's eyes suddenly lit up, sparkling with excitement and joy, as if he felt immensely satisfied with Fu Silin's trust.

Faced with Xie Huaijin's dramatic reaction, Fu Silin was speechless.

She had expected Xie Huaijin to show more gratitude for her decision or at least some sincere response, but he just looked at her with those bright eyes, which made her feel a little lost.

Then they drove slowly out of the Fu residence, the wheels rolling forward.

Just as they were halfway there, suddenly, a car sped out from the side like a wild horse and blocked their way.

This sudden turn of events caught Xie Huaijin off guard. He slammed on the brakes, and the tires screeched as they rubbed against the ground.

Fortunately, Xie Huaijin reacted quickly and brought his vehicle to a steady stop just centimeters away from the other car.

Both he and Fu Silin were terrified; if they had been a second later, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

However, before they could even breathe a sigh of relief, the door of the car that had blocked their way suddenly opened, and a group of people dressed in black rushed out like ghosts.

These people were swift and well-trained; Xie Huaijin and Fu Silin didn't even have time to resist before they were knocked unconscious with sticks.

Immediately afterwards, a long-haired woman wearing a mask got out of the car.

Her steps were light, yet they exuded a chilling aura.

He walked straight to Xie Huaijin's side, glanced coldly at the unconscious man, and then ordered the people behind him, "Take him away."

Before he finished speaking, the men in black effortlessly lifted Xie Huaijin into the car.

The woman looked at Xie Huaijin being taken away, a slight, enigmatic smile playing on her lips, and said softly, "His life is mine."

Fu Silin's vision was blurred; she only saw Xie Huaijin, who was unconscious, being taken to another car.

The other person was Lu Fei, who took Fu Silin away.

As leverage to threaten Fu Shiyue...

After saying that, she turned around and got back into the car, which sped away and quickly disappeared into the night.

At this moment, Fu Silin's consciousness was already blurred. She only felt that she was picked up by a man and then put into another car.

The car slowly started moving, and she didn't know where it was taking her. The effects of the drug made her eyelids grow heavier and heavier, and finally, she drifted into a deep sleep...

When Fu Silin slowly woke up, she felt sore all over and her consciousness was a little blurry.

She struggled to open her eyes and looked around, only to find herself in an abandoned factory, empty except for some dilapidated machines and cobwebs.

He tried to struggle, but found that his hands were tightly bound behind his back and his feet were also bound by ropes, making it impossible for him to move.

She cried out for help, hoping someone would hear her, but the place had obviously been abandoned for a long time, and no one would come to her rescue.

As time ticked by, Fu Silin felt increasingly desperate.

Just when she was about to give up, she suddenly heard footsteps. Her heart leaped with joy, thinking someone had finally come to rescue her, but when she saw who it was, she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave—a complete stranger.

"Who are you? Let me go! Do you even know who I am?"

Lu Fei didn't take it seriously and moved closer to her.

Fu Silin hid behind her.

"Of course I know who you are. You are Fu Silin, the beloved daughter of the prestigious Fu Group."

"You know you still dare to tie me up? Aren't you afraid my brother won't let you off the hook?!"

Lu Fei sneered, "You mean Fu Shiyue? I'm going to use you to threaten him. As long as he hands over what I want, I'll naturally release you."

Fu Silin was startled. "What do you want?"

Lu Fei didn't answer, he just stared intently at her.

Just then, Lu Fei's phone rang.

He hung up the phone and spoke to his subordinates.

Then, he walked up to Fu Silin and said jokingly, "Your brother is really bad. He didn't even come to save you. You must hate him to death. It seems that Fu Shiyue won't be able to come and exchange you for something. But don't worry, I won't let you die too painfully."

As he spoke, he drew a dagger and slowly approached Fu Silin.

Fu Silin closed her eyes in terror. Just then, a fierce fighting sound suddenly came from outside.

Immediately afterwards, the door was kicked open.

Fu Shiyue looked coldly at Lu Fei, "I'm here."

He stared incredulously at Fu Silin, who was bound.

"Let my sister go!"

"elder brother....."

Lu Fei gritted his teeth, holding Fu Silin hostage as he backed away, "Don't come any closer, or I'll kill her!"

That's the way it is.

Later, Ye Xingran, the brother's secretary, also mysteriously appeared here...

Fu Silin took a deep breath, composed herself, and then told her brother the whole story.

After she finished speaking, her brother was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "You said that the person who took Xie Huaijin away was a woman?"

Fu Silin nodded and said, "Yes, that woman was tall, dressed in all black, and wearing a mask, so I couldn't see her face."

"Although I was a little out of it at the time, the person had long, loose hair and was clearly a woman."

Fu Shiyue frowned, as if he was thinking about something.

After a while, he said, "I will investigate this matter. You should go home and rest."
