Chapter 439: Xiao Fang Runs Into Trouble

When we returned to the Amusement Hall, Wen Han was in the room chatting with Xiao Fang.

From the moment Wen Han first saw Xiao Fang, I could see his affection for her.

Actually, I am very worried about Wen Han's affection.

I do not want Xiao Fang to fall in love with Wen Han and marry into a wealthy family.

Marrying into a wealthy family requires a price and capital, which Xiao Fang lacks.

Moreover, marrying into a wealthy family actually carries very high risk,

If one day the Wen family falls, Wen Han's sense of loss will be huge; such a person can never recover in a lifetime and can only decline.

If she married such a husband, she would suffer for life.

Even if the Wen family does not fall, with Wen Han and Xiao Fang together, Wen Han is surrounded by countless beautiful temptations.

Can Xiao Fang keep Wen Han in check?

Such a life can only be a mess.

Actually, I most hope Wen Han would like Shen Honghong, who dreams of finding someone from a family like Wen Han's.

But Wen Han seems to look down on Shen Honghong.

Perhaps I am overthinking.

You see, Director Shangguan is gone; for Xiao Fang, I must take on twelvefold responsibility.

Seeing Xiao Fang and Wen Han chatting with smiling brows, I think of the deceased Director Shangguan,

whether I should tell Xiao Fang this news.

Sigh, now is not the time to speak; let's wait until we return to Zaocheng.

Wen Han saw me come in from outside,

and stood up.

"Brother Jianqiang has arrived. How is it, did you give the computer to Brother Wang?"

I said: "Mr. Wen, I have already given the computer to Brother Wang. Brother Wang has a saying for me to convey to you: do not rush anything, to prevent a desperate dog jumping over a wall."

After Wen Han heard me finish speaking, he smiled,

"All right, Brother Jianqiang, thank you for your trouble. Brother Wang is right; the weather is so hot that people are prone to extremes."

Just as I was about to say something, Xiao Fang hurried to my side.

"Brother Jianqiang, how is my father? Did you see my father when you returned to Zaocheng this time?"

Hearing Xiao Fang ask this, my heart ached; I truly did not know how to answer her.

I could only say: "Xiao Fang, this return to Zaocheng is rather urgent. Very hurried, I basically had no time to inquire about Director Shangguan's news."

I also did not go see Xiao Feng. So for now I still do not know Director Shangguan's news."

After Xiao Fang heard me finish speaking, she bit her teeth and said nothing.

At that moment, Shen Honghong ran over from outside,

"Xiao Fang, how do you like my newly bought dress? It's the latest Chanel model."

After Shen Honghong finished speaking, she deliberately displayed her new dress in front of us.

Actually, Shen Honghong was not showing the dress to Xiao Fang; she came to show it to Wen Han.

Wen Han glanced at it,

"Miss Shen, with your figure anything looks good."

"Really, Mr. Wen. Thank you for your praise. In that store, there is also a large backless evening gown."

"I would like to buy it, but the person accompanying me said the time is up."

"I must return, Mr. Wen; please give me another hour to buy that large backless evening gown." Shen Honghong said coquettishly.

Wen Han merely smiled,

"Miss Shen, now is a critical period; entry and exit from the Amusement Hall must be controlled. If you go out for an hour this time, we will worry for an hour."

"Let's buy that outfit later."

"Mr. Wen, I used to be very afraid, but now it's different; with you, Second Master Wen, behind me, I fear nothing—not even stray cats and dogs; would they dare to fight against our Second Master Wen?"

"Mr. Wen, I, I have no other hobbies; only buying clothes."

"These days I'm almost going crazy."

"Just giving me one hour today to shop for clothes is not enough,"

"Mr. Wen, I will buy that evening gown, wear it for you to see; it's really very beautiful, not inferior to what stars wear. Mr. Wen, I beg you, let me go out a while longer."

"How about this: Xiao Fang accompanies me; then I won't be able to run away." Shen Honghong continued to act coquettishly toward Wen Han.

I thought Wen Han would refuse, but unexpectedly he said: "Miss Shen, you may take Xiao Fang along, and by the way buy her a few sets of clothes."

"I see Xiao Fang has not changed that outfit she's wearing."

"Mr. Wen, you don't even look at what I'm wearing. Okay, Xiao Fang, let's go; this is only because of your face, Second Master Wen, that we're allowed to go out." Shen Honghong said, linking arms with Xiao Fang.

Wen Han then said to Xiao Yan: "You drive them over, bring a couple more people, and come back after buying the clothes."

Xiao Yan nodded,

"All right, Second Master. Sister Shen, let's go."

Thus Xiao Yan took Shen Honghong and Xiao Fang to the underground parking garage, got in a car, and went to buy clothes. Watching their backs.

I felt somewhat worried,

I whispered to Wen Han: "Mr. Wen, at this time, letting Shen Honghong go out—isn't that too conspicuous? Our opponents are eyeing us like tigers watching their prey."

"It's just that Shen Honghong is too annoying. Probably nothing will happen, with Xiao Yan following." Wen Han said.

"If really not possible, let Ding Li and Shi Yong also go along." I said.

"Too many people makes a big target; they'd only buy two pieces of clothing. Besides, the Zhou family would not dare to openly abduct people." Wen Han said.

Hearing Wen Han say that,

I don't feel like saying anything else, after all in Wen Han's Douqu Hall I can't issue orders.

Wen Han went through such things, yet he's so indecisive with women; Shen Honghong flirts a few times, so what? If it were me, I'd slap her hard and honestly stay holed up at home.

Flirting? I'm annoyed.

I just hope they can return safely soon.

Wen Han didn't take it to heart, opened an old record player, and started bobbing his head, listening to the Beijing opera again.

I quickly took my leave from Wen Han's house.

These past two days, I haven't rested well.

Just now, after riding Xiao Yan's car back from Wang Ge's manor, I was already exhausted.

I need to rest now.

I returned to my room,

From the next room, Shi Yong's snoring drifted in.

Hearing Shi Yong's snore, I felt a sense of safety.

I lay on the bed,

and fell asleep in no time,

That sleep was truly deep; I even dreamed of Hulutao, and also dreamed of my mother, the way she used to grind grain at home.

She would occasionally look at us,

My sister, Xiao Hua, Xiao Guo, and I were jumping rope.

The sunshine was wonderful, a cloudless sky for miles.

When she saw me fall, mother ran over, trying to pull me up from the ground.

My hand had already reached my mother's hand,

Suddenly a huge thunderclap sounded,

"Brother, wake up quickly, something big happened."

I hurriedly opened my eyes, finding no Gourd Village, no mother. I only saw Shi Yong standing beside me, shaking me awake with his hand.

I quickly asked Shi Yong, "What's wrong, Shi Yong? What happened?"

"Brother, Xiao Fang had Zhou Jie's men take her away," Shi Yong said anxiously.

"What?" I sprang up from the bed. "Xiao Fang, who took her? Shi Yong, say it again."

"It was Zhou Jie, Lord Zhou's men who took her, Shen Honghong reported that back, and Xiao Yan also got injured by Zhou Jie's men and is now hospitalized," Shi Yong repeated.

After Shi Yong finished speaking, my head instantly swelled.

"Xiao Fang was taken by Zhou Jie's men, Shen Honghong came back, and Xiao Yan is also hospitalized. Right?"

Shi Yong nodded.

At that moment, I jumped down from the bed,

"Where is Wen Han? I need to find him."

"Mr. Wen is waiting for you in the study, let me wake you up," Shi Yong said.
