LUCK

CHAPTER 201 - BAR INTERVIEW

Arriving at their destination with great difficulty, Yu Fei finally realized that it was a bar when she stopped the car. She looked puzzledly at Tan Lin, who was currently unbuckling her safety belt and sensing Yu Fei's gaze, she unconcernedly said, Get out.

Although she didn't know what Tan Lin was up to, Yu Fei still followed her instructions and got off the car. After hesitating for a moment, she saw that Tan Lin was already walking inside, so she gritted her teeth and followed her into the bar.

It wasn't too late for them to arrive, but there were already many people in the bar. Tan Lin seemed to come here often as she brought Yu Fei to a relatively quiet seat and asked for a couple of drinks.

The lighting in the bar was very dim. Occasionally, a light would land on the side of Tan Lin's face, but Yu Fei couldn't clearly see what she was thinking under her expressionless face.

Tan Lin didn't say a word to Yu Fei until the time the bartender brought the wine up. She only casually looked around, occasionally stopping at a certain spot. If Yu Fei followed her gaze, she would immediately turn her head to look elsewhere.

Miss, this is your wine. The bartender brought the wine to their table and placed a glass of wine in front of Yu Fei and Tan Lin.

Tan Lin played with the wine cup in her hands. The light blue liquid slowly swayed in the glass, making her look even more beautiful.

Have a drink? Tan Lin wore an ambiguous smile on her face as she looked at Yu Fei with an enigmatic smile, as though she was provoking her opponent.

Yu Fei did not say or move. Tan Lin did not seem to care about her reaction at all. She raised her head and downed the entire cup of wine. The stimulation of alcohol flowed down her throat and into her stomach, an indescribable stimulation.

Glancing at the wine glass in front of her, Yu Fei didn't seem to want to drink. She spoke in a cold tone, I'm sorry, Miss Tan. I don't drink.

Yu Fei, as long as you stop bothering Ke Chen, I can let you go and let your child go.

The woman's gaze towards her clearly contained many emotions that she could not clearly see, circulating in the gloomy light.

What do you mean? Yu Fei's voice was equally cold, and now she could clearly see that facing Tan Lin, she had no reason to be soft at all.

Literally. The corners of Tan Lin's mouth curled up. Her face was full of sneer. I want you to leave A-City and Ke Chen right now.

And if I refuse?

Hearing Yu Fei's question, Tan Lin's eyes grew darker and more dangerous. I can get someone to tie you up once, then I can get someone to tie you up a second time. This time, it's your luck. With Ke Chen to save you, what about the next time?

Yu Fei didn't expect Tan Lin to admit it so easily. She clenched her hands into fists and glared at Tan Lin.

The other side didn't seem to care about Yu Fei at all as she drank another cup of wine, Don't look at me like that. You only have two choices before you. Leave, and lose the child in your stomach.

Yu Fei didn't say anything further. She just stared at Tan Lin for a long time. She struggled violently in her mind, but eventually chose to compromise.

Alright, I agree.

The negotiation was finally coming to an end. Tan Lin paid the bill and walked out of the bar with Yu Fei. She got into the driver's seat and saw that Yu Fei didn't get in the car. She walked a few steps forward and was about to stop a taxi when she stopped in front of Yu Fei. She coldly said, Get in.

Yu Fei didn't want to sit in her car, so she pretended not to hear him and turned her head to look at the other side of the road.

There won't be a car at this point. Since you agreed to my request, I won't harm you.

As if confirming Tan Lin's words, the street was truly empty. There were no cars, and the cool night wind was blowing on her body. Yu Fei retracted her gaze, glanced at Tan Lin, then silently opened the car door and got in.

It was currently the busiest time of the night. There was an endless flow of traffic on the road, making it even more congested than usual. Before she even met the traffic light, she was already blocked by the headless car in front of her. Tan Lin cursed in her heart.

After finally getting past the heavy traffic, the road became smoother.

Yu Fei propped up her chin and looked out the window, feeling the gentle breeze caress her face. The back of her head was facing Tan Lin, so she naturally didn't see the unfathomable look in the woman's eyes.

It wasn't until the car was parked below her house that Yu Fei suddenly remembered something. She had never told Tan Lin about her home address. How could Tan Lin know?

However, she soon understood. The other party had treated her like a thorn in their side, so how could they not investigate her thoroughly? It seemed that this woman was even more terrifying than she had imagined.

The car stopped at the door for a moment, but Yu Fei didn't get off, nor did she say anything. The expression on her face changed unpredictably.

Tan Lin, who was still in the driver's seat, opened her mouth first. Go up and pack up your things. I'll wait for you downstairs. Once you're done packing, I'll take you to the airport.

Although she had promised Tan Lin in the bar and was mentally prepared to leave, Yu Fei still couldn't help but exclaim, Now?

Tan Lin nodded noncommittally as her gaze towards Yu Fei turned a little deeper.

Yu Fei bit her lips in frustration. She felt like a small ant in Tan Lin's hands. No matter what her opponent said, she had no way to resist.

This feeling of powerlessness made Yu Fei feel extremely uncomfortable, but there was nothing she could do.

With her eyes still on the woman's back, Tan Lin turned off the engine and took out a box of ladies cigarettes from her bag. She took out a cigarette and put it in her mouth.

She was not a person who liked smoking, much less a smoker. She only smoked one every once in a while when she was upset. However, the frequency of buying cigarettes these days seemed to be getting higher and higher.

She didn't care how much time had passed. Although she had been desperately hoping for Yu Fei to leave as soon as possible, now that she really had to achieve her goal, she actually calmed down.

In any case, Yu Fei was going to leave sooner or later, so why be so hasty with this one minute and two minutes?

Yu Fei went upstairs and opened the door, but Ye Kexin still hadn't come back. She turned on all the lights in the house, and when she thought about what she had promised Tan Lin, the calm she had put on for so long instantly collapsed. Her legs lost their strength and she fell to the ground.

A sense of powerlessness welled up from the bottom of her heart. This time, Yu Fei really didn't know what to do.

Do I really have to leave this place? Yu Fei murmured absentmindedly. Each word was filled with a heart-wrenching pain.

CHAPTER 202 - ON THE EVE OF DEPARTURE

Yu Fei fell to the ground in disappointment. She didn't move for a long time, as if this was enough to delay her departure.

Downstairs, Tan Lin looked at the flickering sparks on the cigarette butt and slowly exhaled out a series of smoke rings. She blinked her eyes. She leaned against the back of the chair and thought back on everything that had happened during this period of time. Suddenly, an indescribable tiredness surged up, and all the strength in her body seemed to have been sucked away. The motivation that had been supporting her all this time became a bit fuzzy at this moment.

The tall building before them was so tall that one couldn't even see the top of it from the inside of the car. Tan Lin stared blankly at the window, only to discover that she seemed to have changed a lot.

She got out of the car and threw the cigarette butt into the trash can. The wind blew Tan Lin's hair out of her ears, and her white face looked so beautiful in the night. Suddenly, she thought back to her childhood with Ke Chen, before their lives had been filled with endless benefits and money.

Tan Lin couldn't help but reminisce those carefree childhood days, pure and beautiful.

However, why did it become like this now?

After mechanically packing her luggage, Yu Fei stared at the luggage in front of her for a long time. She found a piece of paper and left a note for Ye Kexin, but she didn't dare to call him.

In this game of love, Yu Fei might not have been willing to admit it at first, but now she knew that no matter how hard she tried, she and Ke Chen would never be able to return to the past.

Before she closed the door, Yu Fei turned around and took one last look at the house. Memories flashed before her eyes, and she felt a strong reluctance in her heart.

Goodbye. Cohen.

Yu Fei silently chanted Ke Chen's name in her heart. In the end, she was still unable to say it out loud. She admitted that she was weak. Even at this moment, she still did not dare to face the feelings in her heart.

With a pa sound, the door was closed. Yu Fei didn't even look back as she dragged her luggage out, leaving behind only darkness and tranquility. It was so quiet that it was as if no one had ever entered the room before.

By the time Yu Fei returned to the car, Tan Lin had just gotten on the bus. Looking at the girl's blushing face, which could not be hidden, Tan Lin was both envious and envious. Her heart was filled with hostility.

There were many things that once done, there was no way to go back.

On the way to the airport, Tan Lin didn't say another word to Yu Fei, and she naturally didn't take the initiative to talk to her either. There was no expression on her face, making it hard to tell what she was thinking.

Yu Fei was carrying her luggage as she got off the car. Tan Lin followed behind her, seemingly intending to follow her.

Knowing what Tan Lin was thinking, Yu Fei sneered and said unhappily, Since I've promised to leave, I'll definitely not go back on my word. You don't have to follow me so closely.

Tan Lin raised her eyebrows and said nothing. However, she still had no intention of leaving.

Seeing that the other person had completely ignored her, Yu Fei simply shut her mouth, turned around and walked towards the airport, completing the boarding procedures. During this time, Tan Lin didn't say a single word to her, only silently following behind her as if she was monitoring her.

After walking all the way to the security checkpoint, Yu Fei finally could not stand the man's actions. She turned around and shouted at Tan Lin in a low voice, I'm already here. You don't have to follow me so closely, do you? I'm not a prisoner!

Tan Lin didn't seem to care about Yu Fei's attitude at all. Her voice was as cold as ever. I want to see you leave with my own eyes.

Hearing this, Yu Fei had no other choice but to glare at him. Her lips moved a little, but in the end, she couldn't say anything. She turned around and walked back in.

The last flight was an hour later. Yu Fei sat in the waiting room, waiting blankly for the time to pass. She kept her cell phone and plane ticket in her hands, the electric board in her hands burning hot.

The destination of this plane was City B, a strange place that Yu Fei had never been to before. She knew that once she went there, everything that happened before would gradually be forgotten. She would completely erase any traces of her life in Ke Chen.

Yu Fei lowered her head and pressed a few buttons on her phone, dialing Ke Chen's number.

The other end of the line rang until the mechanical female voice rang, but there was still no answer. Yu Fei put down her phone dejectedly. Her eyes were dull, and a bitter smile was plastered on her face. It turned out that she was still unwilling to give up at this point.

His finger unconsciously moved back and forth on the phone screen. Yu Fei stared blankly at a birth. When she looked down, she found that his finger was resting on Gu Suo's phone number.

Just a farewell from an ordinary friend, Yu Fei thought to herself. There shouldn't be anything wrong with making this phone call, right?

The phone was dialed. A beeping sound came from the receiver. It only rang twice before the phone was picked up.

Hello? The man's voice came out of the receiver, hoarse.

Yu Fei turned her head to look at the dark sky outside the airport. It was the time for her to rest.

Gu Yi, it's me, Yu Fei.

Gu Yi stayed up all night to process the documents. He had only slept for less than half an hour when he was awakened by Yu Fei's phone call. He had been feeling rather sleepy, but upon hearing her voice, he immediately became energetic and sat up from his bed. He picked up the cup of water and took a sip to moisten his throat.

Gu Yi … I … I'm leaving. Yu Fei stammered. She didn't know what to say, nor did she know why she was making this call. She felt both embarrassed and very sorry.

Of course, Gu Yi did not feel disturbed, so he immediately waved his hand, thinking that this was a phone call, Yu Fei could not see his movements at all, and hurriedly explained, No, no, why would it be a call. You just said you were leaving, what's going on?

Actually, Yu Fei regretted it the moment she said it. However, since she already said it, there was no time to retract it. She could only stammer as she tried to cover it up, N-nothing …

Gu Yi frowned. He could vaguely hear the sweet voice of a woman on the airport radio over by Yu Fei's side. He then asked, Are you already at the airport?

Yu Fei acknowledged on the other end of the phone.

Gu Yi wanted to ask something else, but was interrupted by Yu Fei. The woman hurriedly said, I'm boarding now. If there's anything else, I'll tell you when I have time.

After saying that, he hurriedly hung up the phone. Gu Yi looked at his phone with a bit of annoyance and immediately called back. Unfortunately, he had called several times, but the other party had no intention of answering, and in the end even switched off his phone.

CHAPTER 203 - LEAVE

Gu Yi suddenly lost all sleep. He immediately called his secretary, asked her to check the time of the domestic and international flights, organized them, and sent them to him together.

Yu Fei's previous phone call was definitely not for nothing. Gu Yi thought it was strange. Previously, he had asked Yu Fei to go with him to B City, but she had firmly refused. Why did she suddenly say that she was leaving?

Yu Fei, who was far away at the airport, naturally didn't know what Gu Yi was thinking at the moment. In order to stop herself from shaking, she turned off her phone and stopped thinking about calling Ke Chen.

It was time to register. Yu Fei walked into the cabin, found a seat in the cabin, and then strapped on her seat belt. Her brain was in a state of chaos, and her consciousness had become blurred.

She couldn't even see the people walking around her clearly. It was as if her vision had been covered by something.

At that time, she was forced to marry Ke Chen because of a debt. She thought that her life had ended here, but she didn't expect that her life after marriage would be so much better than what she imagined. Thus, she gradually gave her heart to Ke Chen and deeply fell in love with him.

It was as if the scene had shifted back to the time of her pregnancy. The quiet life of Curchen had been shattered from that moment on, his cold stare at her and the gently swaying abortion slip. Since then, Yu Fei's life had undergone a tremendous change, with Yu Yu and Wang Feng, who thought they were family, stepping on her back and entering the manor.

Family love, love, all disappeared without a trace in a single piece of paper.

After that, there was nothing left. Yu Fei couldn't even remember how she spent her days like this. It was as if she was stuck in a bottomless black hole. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't find the exit.

It was at this moment that Tan Lin appeared, glaring fiercely at her with her bloody mouth wide open. Yu Fei subconsciously wanted to hug her stomach tightly, but discovered that it was flat and flat.

He touched her belly over and over again in disbelief. Yu Fei screamed in panic as she searched, but she couldn't call back her stomach that had already disappeared.

Tan Lin's shrill laughter rang in his ears, Yu Fei, this is the result of going against me. You deserve to lose your husband and your child.

The woman's expression was terrifying. Yu Fei subconsciously wanted to dodge, but when she started to retreat, she discovered that there was a thick wall behind her, cutting off all escape routes. She had no way out.

The pain that spread out from the bottom of her heart suddenly spread throughout her body. Yu Fei curled up her body, her brain losing the ability to think. She could only cry.

Yu Fei opened her eyes in a daze, only to realize that everything that had happened was just a dream. However, the pain and loss in that dream were too real, leaving her with no time to catch her breath.

He touched his face, and sure enough, there was a lot of moisture and coldness on it.

Yu Fei turned her head to look outside the window. So it turned out that her dream had lasted for such a long time. The unfamiliar city was right beneath her feet. Yu Fei expressionlessly watched as the flames in her heart were extinguished.

As she walked out of the airport, Yu Fei's mind was still preoccupied with the dream she had just had. Her mind was a mess, and she was in no mood to pay attention to the people around her.

When a pair of leather shoes appeared in her line of sight, Yu Fei raised her head, her eyes shining with astonishment.

Gu Yi? Why are you here?

Yu Fei felt like her brain had yet to calm down from that dream. Otherwise, how could she have seen Gu Yi smiling at her in the capital's airport at this hour of the morning? However, every pore on the man's body was so real that he was unable to breathe.

He stood there hesitating for two seconds, then he smiled at the woman's absent-minded expression and waved his hand in front of her face, Hey, Miss Yu, can I understand that you're too excited to see me?

You, aren't you in A City right now, why are you … Yu Fei was at a loss for words. It was as if her brain had crashed, and she couldn't think of anything else to say.

I got my secretary to check up on the shifts at this time and bet that you're here. It turns out that I made the right bet. Gu Yi's gaze was locked onto Yu Fei. The man's gaze was so fiery that Yu Fei's ice-cold body suddenly warmed up.

As if a robot suddenly got wound up, Yu Fei instantly returned to normal, smiling towards Gu Yi.

Seeing this, Gu Yi felt as if his heart had been pierced by a silver needle. Although it wasn't particularly painful, it was enough to excite his nerves.

Great. The two words floated out from Yu Fei's mouth. Maybe it was because her expression was too calm, but it made Gu Yi shocked instead. It took him two seconds to regain his senses and return to his usual warm and caring appearance.

Yu Fei never thought that she would actually answer Gu Yi in such a way. The three words completely unconsciously jumped out of her mouth, and only when she saw the man's unusual expression, and even the suspicious blush that could be described as bashful, did she realize what she had just said.

Yu Fei secretly regretted in her heart. She had just randomly said some nonsense. Gu Yi was only an ordinary friend to her, so he definitely wouldn't have any other relations. She couldn't show any trace of her feelings for him.

Seeing that Yu Fei had stopped talking, Gu Yi did not know what was on her mind. Smiling gently, he pulled Yu Fei's luggage and naturally said to her, You must be tired from taking the plane for so long. I have a house in B City. I'll take you there first. Have a good night's sleep.

Yu Fei rejected him as soon as she thought of it. She waved her hands, No need, I'm going to stay in a hotel …

That's enough. Before he could say the two words, Gu Ruoyun had blocked his path.

He said directly to her, as if he expected it, It's not appropriate for you to go to a hotel like this, especially when you're still pregnant. It's not safe for me to live outside. I've already called ahead to have the house cleaned up, so you just have to listen to me.

Since Gu Yi had already said so, Yu Fei couldn't reject him anymore, so she agreed. Silently following Gu Yi, Yu Fei walked out of the airport and arrived beside a black SUV. She looked around the SUV and found that the SUV and the man were not that compatible.

CHAPTER 204 - PICK-UP

Gu Yi noticed Yu Fei's gaze and smiled, explaining, This is my friend's car, get in.

With an embarrassed smile, Yu Fei opened the passenger seat and sat on it.

On the way, Gu Ling played a very old song. Yu Fei had a vague impression of the melody, and she could sing along with the chorus. The sweet voice of a woman, supported by the accompaniment, sounded even more ethereal, more like a lullaby at this very moment.

Gradually, Yu Fei felt her eyelids turn heavy as she began to fight uncontrollably.

After waking up from her sleep, Yu Fei's sleepiness had completely dissipated. She rubbed her eyes as she looked out the window. This strange city was gradually waking up. It looked like it was in the wee hours of the morning, full of life and vitality just like A City.

The faintly white horizon seemed to be the boundary between darkness and light, completely separating the night from the day.

Looking at such a vast scene, Yu Fei's depressed mood finally eased a little. All the worries and worries she had had seemed to leave her.

The curve of the man's face was as gentle as his personality. His skin was very white, the color of ivory white, and the shadows of the street lamps on both sides of the road were reflected on his cheeks, giving him a strange and attractive appearance.

Not long ago, she had still firmly rejected him, but Gu Yi still acted as if nothing had happened, suddenly appearing here and saving Yu Fei from the island, causing her to feel a little bit more at ease.

Yu Fei didn't know why she suddenly felt a faint ache on her nose. This soreness came for no reason at all, but at the bottom of her heart, there was a sudden surge of emotion that had no place to vent.

That, Yu Fei licked her dry lips, hesitating before speaking, Gu Yi, why did you … She swallowed the rest of the words into her stomach, because Gu Yi turned his head and stared at her with a burning gaze that she couldn't bear to see.

Her heart thumped like thunder. Yu Fei didn't know what she was suddenly excited about, but she understood that it was different from seeing her lover's throbbing. Her cheeks were flushed, and her facial features were blurred.

Both of her hands tightly held onto the corner of her shirt, while Yu Fei lowered her head, trying to cover up the abnormal blush on her face.

Perhaps the light from the roadside is too dizzying. Yu Fei thought dazedly.

After waiting for a long time and not waiting for Yu Fei to finish her sentence, Gu Yi was still slightly disappointed.

Although he didn't have high hopes for the progress of his relationship with Yu Fei, he still hoped that the woman would know what he was thinking and express it.

This feeling was similar to the nervousness he felt in high school when he wrote love letters to girls who had a crush on him, waiting for her reply. It was unclear yet unclear.

But soon after, a dark thought emerged in Gu Yi's mind. This time, it could even be said that Yu Fei escaped from City A. If he appeared by her side at this crucial moment, there was a huge chance that Yu Fei could reopen her heart to him.

As long as he firmly grasped this opportunity, he would definitely be able to take over Ke Chen's position in the woman's heart, Gu Yi thought to himself.

The car fell into a dead silence, leaving only the woman's voice, singing about right and wrong without end. She was surrounded by Yu Fei and Gu Yi, entangled in love and estranged in love.

When the car pulled up in front of the house, it seemed to light up a little more. Gu Yi took Yu Fei's luggage out of the trunk and pushed it towards her feet.

A gust of cold wind blew past Yu Fei's ears. She wasn't wearing much in the first place, so when she was sitting in the car, she felt as if her whole body was exposed to the wind. Small bumps appeared on her skin.

Seeing that Yu Fei's body was trembling, Gu Yi hurriedly urged her in with a pained heart, It's getting late, you should go in and clean up.

The man before her seemed to have been a gentle and considerate person ever since they met, never making Yu Fei feel awkward. However, it was precisely because of this that Yu Fei felt guilty. After all, she couldn't and couldn't give what Gu Yi wanted.

Gu Yi dragged Yu Fei's luggage into the house, took her around the house and prepared to leave.

Fei'er, you treat this place like your own home. I still have some things to do, I have to catch a plane, so I can't stay here with you. Pay more attention. But don't worry, I will definitely take care of everything and come back as soon as possible.

Yu Fei didn't expect Gu Yi to just come for her. She felt more and more guilty, but didn't know what to say. She could only silently watch as Gu Yi left.

This house had the same decorating style as the one in A City. Although Yu Fei didn't feel that it was familiar, she didn't feel that it was unfamiliar.

Looking at her surroundings, Yu Fei had a real feeling that she had already left. After Gu Yi left, she was once again at a loss. It was not easy for her to calm down and her emotions turned into a pool of stagnant water.

Exhaustion welled up within her. Yu Fei didn't want to pack her things, so she walked straight into the guest room and collapsed on top.

As she lay down on her bed, Yu Fei's mind was still in a mess. Many thoughts quickly flashed through her mind. Yu Fei only felt her head become particularly heavy, so heavy that she almost couldn't bear it.

Faintly sleeping, it was different from her expectations. Yu Fei slept soundly, not even having a dream.

When she woke up, the sky was already bright outside the window. Although there were thick curtains blocking the way, Yu Fei could still see the light leaking into the room through the gaps between the curtains. The golden light made her itch, as she wanted to bathe in the light and feel its warmth.

Yu Fei's hand unconsciously touched her lower abdomen, stroking it. She was lost in thought. This time, she was really going to draw a clear line between her and Ke Chen.

Thinking of the divorce agreement that she hadn't signed yet, the bitter smile on Yu Fei's face deepened. It was just a piece of paper. Her marriage with Ke Chen had already ended, and the result would be the same whether she signed it or not.

In the absence of her, he would only be happier.

Although Yu Fei thought this way, her heart still throbbed in pain. This was a pain that she had no way to control.

Yu Fei's nose began to ache. She sat on the bed and silently shed tears. The tears dripped onto the bed sheets, turning into tiny, round watermarks.

CHAPTER 205 - ASSASSINATION

In the hospital, a red light was lit up at the entrance of the operation room. Uncle Zhang stood at the door and his eyes were fixated on the glaring red light.

With a pa sound, the red light was suddenly extinguished. Uncle Zhang seemed to have been hit by an acupoint as his body suddenly trembled and his eyes quivered.

The door of the operation room opened, and Duan Qingfeng walked out with a tired expression. He subconsciously wiped his forehead, and the clothes on his back were completely drenched in sweat.

Duan Qingfeng had never been in such a sorry state before.

Uncle Zhang quickly went over and asked, How is young master?

Let's temporarily pull it back from the gates of hell. However, how long it can last this time around is hard to say.

Hearing this, Uncle Zhang's face turned even paler. Ke Chen's illness had always been managed by Duan Qingfeng. If even he said it was difficult, then the situation would really be terrible.

Thinking of the bodyguard's recent report, Uncle Zhang couldn't help but feel troubled. Miss Yu Fei has left A-City. If young master finds out about this news, his mood will definitely fluctuate again.

No way. Duan Qingfeng spoke firmly, exhorting Uncle Zhang, You must not tell Ke Chen about this. He is currently extremely weak, and cannot be provoked at all.

But …

Thinking about Ke Chen's attitude towards Yu Fei, Uncle Zhang was unable to agree without hesitation. A difficult expression appeared on his face.

Duan Qingfeng knew what Uncle Zhang was thinking, but he still held on to his point of view. Regardless of how arrogant Ke Chen knows about this matter in the future, at this stage, you absolutely cannot bring up this matter, including any situations related to Yu Fei.

Uncle Zhang hesitated for a moment before agreeing. He gave the bodyguards an order. They continued to lurk around Yu Fei to protect her safety. However, they had to report the situation to him and not Ke Chen.

Seeing that Uncle Zhang had already arranged everything, Duan Qingfeng did not stay any longer. He immediately returned to his office and contacted his colleagues in the international community to study Ke Chen's condition.

After Tan Lin sent Yu Fei away, she received news of Ke Chen being hospitalized from her subordinates and rushed over to the hospital from the airport.

When they were almost at the hospital, Lu Zifeng suddenly made a call. Tan Lin thought about her plan, and a dangerous glint flashed across her eyes. When she picked up the phone, her tone was as normal as it could get.

Zi Feng, why are you still up so late?

Tan Lin's tone was gentle, but Lu Zifeng's voice was icy cold: Where are you now?

This tone was exactly the same as when he came to look for the girl. Tan Lin's heart skipped a beat. She panicked for a moment but quickly calmed herself down. She replied calmly, I'm still working overtime at the company. I'm leaving the day after tomorrow. How can I go back to America with you if I'm not faster?

Hearing Tan Lin's reply, Lu Zifeng let out a cold laugh. He scoffed at the words that came out of his mouth, At the company? Which company?"

Tan Lin was thinking that it was all Ke Chen's fault, so her attitude towards Lu Zifeng's call was unavoidably perfunctory. She was even more unable to notice the abnormality in his tone and replied, Of course it's in Lin Xiu …

It was only after she said the last word that Tan Lin realized something was wrong. She asked him sensibly, Where are you now?

With his mobile phone in hand, Lu Zifeng leaned against the door of Tan Lin's office. His free right hand gently caressed the door frame as he coldly said, Guess where I am right now? I'm where you're supposed to be.

The man's words confirmed Tan Lin's guess. The lie had been mercilessly exposed. Tan Lin fell silent and did not speak again.

Seeing that the other end of the phone had gone silent, Lu Zifeng's eyes narrowed, and a dangerous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. His voice seemed to come from hell: Tan Lin, where are you now?

Tan Lin's fingers tightened their grip on her phone. A trace of viciousness flashed across her face, but it was quickly restored. Her voice sounded completely unchanged.

I'm on my way home right now, but I was just joking with you and wanted to give you a surprise. Why are you being so serious?

Oh? Surprise? However, Lu Zifeng's tone sounded as if he didn't believe it.

Tan Lin deliberately pretended to have a temper as she yelled into the phone with an unfriendly tone, Do you believe me or not!? After saying that, he immediately hung up the phone.

Lu Zifeng listened to the busy calls coming from the other side of the phone, his face was expressionless. His features were lost in the darkness, his head bowed, like a messenger in the night.

Tan Lin hung up the phone and immediately dialed the man's number from before. As soon as she connected, she hurriedly said, The plan is ahead of schedule. He's in my company now, go and get rid of him.

Tan Lin's tone was light and casual, as if what she spoke of was not a human life, but just a trivial and insignificant little thing.

The man didn't say anything else. He merely answered and hung up the phone.

Tan Lin tossed the phone to the passenger side and gripped the steering wheel tightly with both of her hands. Her eyes were bloodshot and she looked extremely terrifying.

On the other side, Lin Xiu's company, Lu Zifeng stood there for a long time before slowly walking out. At this time, there was basically no one there.

Just like before, Lu Zifeng lowered his head as he leisurely walked on the street. His mind had long ago drifted far away. Tan Lin was lying to him. He knew this very well, but he knew it was useless. He still wanted to bring her back to America and keep her by his side.

Lu Zifeng was lost in thought, and didn't notice in the slightest that behind him, a pitch-black figure had appeared out of nowhere, following him like a ghost.

The man's eyes were locked onto Lu Zifeng like a cheetah, his movements were quick and secretive, slowly drawing in the distance between them, yet Lu Zifeng did not notice it at all.

Only when a sudden gust of wind blew behind his ears did Lu Zifeng extricate himself from his own world, turning his head to look behind him.

But unfortunately, it was already too late.

Lu Zifeng lowered his head in a daze, staring at the cold, red, and warm blood that was slowly flowing out of his wound.

Slowly raising his head to look at the man holding the saber hilt, Lu Zifeng felt pain all of a sudden.

Who are you?

The man looked at him without a word, as if he didn't intend to answer.

With these thoughts in mind, the pain in his wound grew more and more intense. Lu Zifeng asked with great difficulty, Did Tan Lin send you here?

The man still didn't reply, but the silence this time seemed to tacitly confirm his words.

Thinking of this, Lu Zifeng suddenly laughed. He laughed like a madman, using all the strength in his body.

CHAPTER 206 - PLAN SUCCEEDED

Blood dripped down the blade drop by drop onto the ground. As a gust of cold wind blew past, Lu Zifeng and the man in front of them stood in that strange posture, as if they had been frozen in place.

Lu Zifeng was probably tired from laughing, but he suddenly stopped. There was not a single trace of blood on his face, and his eyes gradually became unfocused. The scene in his vision gradually became blurry, and this was the first time Lu Zifeng experienced such a powerless feeling.

Both of his legs went limp, and Lu Zifeng muttered Tan Lin's name unwillingly. Hearing it from the man opposite him, he exerted strength in his wrist, fiercely pulling out the knife that had been stabbed into Lu Zifeng's stomach, and stabbed it down ferociously once again.

Tan Lin parked the car and walked to the entrance of the hospital. The phone in her bag suddenly rang. She took it out and looked. Then, she picked it up without any hesitation.

It's done.

The man's voice was emotionless, but in Tan Lin's ears, it sounded like the sound of nature.

You didn't leave any traces, did you?

After receiving the man's affirmation, Tan Lin's smile finally spread to its maximum extent as she hung up the phone in satisfaction.

The man that had always been by her side had finally been dealt with.

Tan Lin felt a lot more relaxed. She threw her phone back into her bag and walked with her heels to Ke Chen's room. This was the VIP ward of the hospital, and there was only one room on the entire floor.

The room was silent except for the ticking of the apparatus.

Tan Lin walked in softly. She tiptoed slightly and followed behind him. Ke Chen was wearing a huge hospital gown and his face was pale. The corners that he usually had were missing. He looked much gentler now.

Tan Lin walked to the side of the bed and sat down. She stared at the man before her with a pair of deep, dark eyes. It was hard to tell what she was thinking about.

Tan Lin could not help
