Chapter 352: Heed the Master's Words

~6 min read 1,189 words

In the end, Chris was the first to admit defeat, bowing his proud head before Lu Xiwán.

"Now is a critical moment; we can't take risks either."

Lu Xiwán clapped her hands, "Then that's fine; just help me capture the person."

"Don't tell me you can't even manage that."

Lu Xiwán expressed extreme doubt about Paradise's capabilities; as the currently known supreme leader of the organization, Chris naturally refused.

Lu Xiwán clearly saw him grit his teeth.

"Fu Sijue's presence in Haicheng is our greatest threat."

The implication was that if they had the ability, they would have eliminated Fu Sijue long ago.

Lu Xiwán, pretending to be uninterested, shook her head, "Just saying it with your mouth works for me."

Chris smiled, and the words came squeezed between his teeth, "Paradise is not weak."

Although Chris was telling the truth, Lu Xiwán deliberately tried to provoke him.

Since their organization has committed all the misdeeds, they can't take revenge now, but they can at least mock them.

"If there were some things I couldn't do myself, it wouldn't be up to you; from now on I really won't call on you."

Although not a single word insulted them, every sentence made Chris very upset.

Being inexplicably berated by my own client at the door—what on earth is this?

By the time Chris recovered enough to argue, Lu Xiwán had already taken Fu Sijue out the door and left in a swagger.

For the sake of face, Chris could only swallow his anger.

After they went out, Lu Xiwán finally noticed that Fu Sijue had been wearing a stern expression.

"Did you see his expression just now? He seemed ready to rush over and eat me up."

Lu Xiwán was smug about having angered the other party's big boss.

Fu Sijue reached out and brushed her hair back, "If he truly took your words to heart, you'd be in danger."

Lu Xiwán's action was tantamount to pulling hair from a tiger's head.

Lu Xiwán herself didn't realize it was inappropriate, "I just timed it so he wouldn't dare strike me, that's why I could say those things. Rest assured, I always act with restraint."

Fu Sijue, unusually unyielding, did not calm down despite Lu Xiwán's soothing.

An indescribable emotion in his eyes grew stronger, "You just forced him to have to take you away."

Who knows what methods those people will employ to deal with Lu Xiwán.

Moreover, Lu Xiwán is alone; how could she both stay at the Vacation Villa and meet those people?

While inside earlier, Fu Sijue had been suppressing himself intensely; finally emerging, a low pressure still emanated from him.

Lu Xiwán suddenly realized that he was angry because of this.

"I'll find someone right now to send you abroad."

The term "Concern brings chaos" fits Fu Sijue perfectly.

As soon as anything involving Lu Xiwán arises, Fu Sijue's calmness and rationality vanish completely.

His anxious attempt to send Lu Xiwán abroad for refuge made him look like a raw rookie.

Lu Xiwán let out a snort of laughter, "If I don't do this, how could I reach those people's core?"

Up to today, they have only just met the leader of this organization.

As for how many members they have, how many Haicheng resources they control, or which Haicheng people they collude with, they know nothing.

To uncover the truth as soon as possible, Lu Xiwán had to risk herself.

"President Fu, I think I forgot to tell you something. Even when dealing with matters concerning me, you must stay calm. Now all Haicheng people know I'm your weak point; I don't know how many are watching my life."

When she said that, Lu Xiwán was being a bit playful, but Fu Sijue didn't relax as she expected.

He turned his face aside; his sharply defined features clearly stiffened.

"I won't let them hurt you."

"I know with your ability achieving this wouldn't be hard, but I can't spend my whole life living in Hengshan Gongguan, nor can I stay cooped up in the Vacation Villa forever without going out."

"A Jue, you can't forever bear everything for me. From the moment you chose to be with me, you should have made a decision; the person who will face the wind and rain with you for the rest of this life is me."

Lu Xiwán softened her voice, gently soothing Fu Sijue's tense nerves.

She knows Fu Sijue all too well.

Having grown up under Fu Mingcheng's wing without a mother's guidance, Fu Mingcheng, adhering to the Fu family's usual style, raised Fu Sijue into someone who appears omnipotent.

Fu Sijue's life is stamped with marks of genius; the Fu family holds an indispensable place in his existence.

Even the mere mention of Fu Sijue sends shivers down many people's spines.

Lu Xiwán has never been afraid.

Even though Fu Sijue's actions appear extremely vile to many, in Lu Xiwán's eyes, everything he does is his clumsy yet earnest attempt to learn how to love someone.

"I'll contact Si Jiuyin; with her there, you won't have to worry about my safety."

Lu Xiwán gave Fu Sijue a faint smile.

That night, Lu Xiwán told Si Jiuyin everything that had happened during this period.

However, what surprised her even more was Si Jiuyin's reply.

Si Jiuyin: "We've been watching this mysterious organization all this time, but we didn't expect you to get a step ahead." Seeing Si Jiuyin's reply, Lu Xiwán felt inexplicably relieved.

This shows that Paradise hasn't become unshakable in Haicheng yet.

Lu Xiwán: "Tomorrow come to Xie Zian's Vacation Villa; I have a detailed plan to discuss with you." The reply from Si Jiuyin made Lu Xiwán especially excited.

Even with Lu Xiwán's repeated assurances, Fu Sijue still felt uneasy.

"I'm already this grown; if I still had to rely on your protection for everything, I wouldn't have survived back in H Country."

Fu Sijue pressed his thin lips, "I can't let go of my worry for you."

Lu Xiwan fell silent for a moment, didn't speak again, and summoned Zhong He inside.

Since Si Jiuyin is to pose as the client, disguising herself will inevitably be a necessary step from now on.

When Lu Xiwan is not around, only Zhong He can shoulder this great responsibility.

Unexpectedly, Zhong He, who usually takes a dislike to Fu Sijue, for the first time stood on the same side as Fu Sijue, and both of them unanimously opposed Lu Xiwan taking such a risky action.

"Since the police already have arrangements in place, what good is there for you to risk yourself like this?"

Zhong He said worriedly, from the perspective of an elder, he naturally did not want Lu Xiwan to do that.

Fu Sijue also chimed in, "Master has spoken, Wanwan, you should listen to Master."

The two of them, one playing good cop, the other bad cop, practically wanted to make the decision in place of Lu Xiwan.

It's a pity Lu Xiwan is not so easily fooled.

"Master, you ought to give me a chance to protect my family, right?"
