"I don’t care if it’s ambition or not, I believe in Binnan," Shen Hongyang said.
Luo Sumei nodded, no longer said anything, grabbed a jacket, and draped it over Shen Hongyang, fearing he might catch a cold.
"This Shen Binnan, and that Shen Xiaoxiao, their entire family, they all look down on us! Damn it!" In the car, Luo Hao angrily exclaimed.
Luo Mingyuan’s expression was gloomy, not much better than his son’s mood. He coldly said, "Don’t rush, once we obtain the Longtu Group, then we can take our revenge slowly."
Luo Hao gritted his teeth and said, "I will definitely take revenge!" Even now, his stomach was still hurting.
Just then, the car suddenly braked hard and stopped.
"What’s going on! Why did we stop suddenly?" Luo Hao exclaimed.
"Up ahead... up ahead..." the driver pointed straight ahead.
In front of their car, a large truck was blocking the road.
This road led to the villa area, where there were few vehicles, especially at after nine o’clock, and a big truck blocking the road on such a secluded mountain path indeed seemed bizarre.
"Go and check it out," Luo Ming told the driver.
The driver acknowledged, opened the door, and was about to get out when a huge hand reached out, instantly grabbed the driver by the neck, then forcefully pulled him out of the driver’s seat and threw him to the ground.
Then someone walked over, pulled out a gun, and shot the driver!
A gunshot sounded, the driver lay motionless on the ground, chilling the father and son in the car to the bone, a coldness rising in their hearts.
The car door was rudely pulled open, and the father and son inside were dragged out by two men.
"Who are you... let go of us... we have money, we can give you money!" Luo Hao screamed in fear.
"Money?" The blonde man holding Luo Hao sneered, "We don’t want money, we just want you two to do us a small favor."
In the living room, Shen Xiaoxiao, the carefree food lover, was still eating, finishing most of the food on the table by herself. Even Fang Yi secretly wondered how this girl could eat so much without getting fat.
Shen Binnan stood up, ready to leave, and Fang Yi naturally wouldn’t stay, departing with Shen Binnan.
"Handsome guy, remember to come back and play games with me next time," Shen Xiaoxiao called out from behind.
Fang Yi, with his back to her, waved his hand to show he understood.
After getting into the car, Fang Yi drove away from the villa.
"I’m warning you," Shen Binnan said in a deep voice from the back seat, "you better stay away from my sister. She’s still young, not yet an adult."
"A college student not an adult?" Fang Yi was skeptical.
"In my eyes, she is still a child," Shen Binnan said.
Fang Yi didn’t really have any intentions towards Shen Xiaoxiao; in fact, earlier in the bedroom, he was just teasing the girl. He understood the relationship between Shen Binnan and Shen Xiaoxiao.
"Don’t worry, I wouldn’t stoop that low," Fang Yi said.
The red Audi traveled along the mountain road, there were no lights, and Fang Yi didn’t turn on the high beams, just reduced the speed to a certain level.
"By the way, what’s the story with that third uncle of yours?" Fang Yi looked for a topic.
"When my dad was poor, he took my mom away from the Luo Family, but the Luo Family is big and naturally wouldn’t agree. All my uncles, except for my second uncle, stopped my mom and were very hostile towards my dad..."
Shen Binnan did not conceal it; he treated it as a confession.
Back in the day, Shen Hongyang, in his twenties, had fallen in love with Luo Sumei. But it was a classic tale of a poor boy and a rich girl, which the Luo Family opposed. Eventually, the couple eloped.
In his thirties, Shen Hongyang started making his fortune. At that time, Shen Binnan was over five years old, and Shen Hongyang and his wife took Binnan to visit the Luo Family.
Although the Luo Family was no longer as hostile as before, their attitude was still very unpleasant. Apart from Binnan’s second uncle, almost everyone in the Luo Family treated Shen Hongyang negatively, including Luo Mingyuan.
"Fathers-in-law are indeed fathers-in-law; truly role models for me," Fang Yi praised.
"Just give up on that idea already; I am not going to elope with you," Shen Binnan said coldly.
Fang Yi wasn’t deterred in the slightest and said with a slight smile, "Who knows what might happen in the future, you might change your mind. Besides, you’re going to marry me, I’m not planning to elope with you."
Hearing him bring up the past made Shen Binnan furious, and she clenched her delicate, pearl-like teeth, "Can you not keep bringing that up? You should know, I have the right to call off the marriage."
Fang Yi merely said lightly, "Times change; don’t underestimate the young and poor."
Arguing had become a routine for them, adding some interest to their otherwise silent, night-time drive on the mountain road, aside from the sound of the car’s engine.
Just then, a strong light suddenly beamed ahead as a car approached with its high beams on.
Fang Yi frowned, pulled over to the side of the road, and further reduced his speed.
Suddenly, a bomb exploded beneath the car!
In an instant, Fang Yi’s heart sank.
The red Audi spun around and rolled toward the roadside. Fortunately, there was a forest that abruptly halted the car!
Fang Yi felt dizzy but did not pass out; he swiftly got out of the overturned car, rushed to the back, violently pulled open the door, and saw Shen Binnan, unconscious with blood on her forehead.
Without any hesitation, Fang Yi crawled into the back seat, pulled Shen Binnan out, and checked her breath through her nose—it was weak. Not only was her head bleeding, but there were also injuries on her body.
Meanwhile, Fang Yi heard running footsteps approaching rapidly.
Fang Yi looked up and, under the glare of the headlights, saw the figure drawing closer.
"Courting death!" said Fang Yi, his expression ice-cold and angry.
Whoever it was, Fang Yi would not let anyone off this time.
Fang Yi picked up Shen Binnan, then forcibly tore off the car’s seatbelt to tie her and himself together. With Binnan on his back, Fang Yi’s hands were free to move without any hinderance.
"Save me! Please, save me!" a man’s voice called out in fear, somewhat familiar to Fang Yi.
As the man drew closer, Fang Yi recognized him—it was Luo Hao.
Luo Hao, his face covered in blood, stumbled toward them, filled with fear: "Quick, save me! I am being chased!"
Fang Yi grabbed Luo Hao by the collar and asked coldly, "What are you doing here?"
Luo Hao said, "My dad and I were assassinated. They’re coming, they want to kill me, please save me."
Fang Yi frowned, looking past Luo Hao up the mountain road.
Suddenly, Luo Hao’s expression contorted horribly as he pulled out a dagger and thrust it towards Fang Yi’s chest!
