Chapter 2293: Chapter 2293: Custom Lover (28)
Fong Yan woke up drenched in cold sweat from a nightmare and went into the bathroom to take a shower.
When he came out, he received a message from Fong Wuye Laboratory.
After reading it, Fong Yan’s face darkened, and he exuded a chilling aura.
"What happened?" Chuzheng noticed his unusual mood and asked.
"Fong Wuye has been kidnapped."
"??"
Chuzheng quickly accessed the surveillance footage from the laboratory.
Half an hour ago, Fong Wuye was taken by the shadowy figure and escaped from the laboratory, now his whereabouts are unknown.
Chuzheng followed the shadowy figure’s trail, but soon lost it.
The shadowy figure disappeared under surveillance.
This is quite interesting.
Fong Yan and Chuzheng rushed to the laboratory, and according to the people there, Fong Wuye and the shadowy figure were in a room at the time.
They heard noise and went over, just in time to see the shadowy figure carrying the unconscious Fong Wuye out.
Before they could react, the shadowy figure knocked them aside and ran away.
He had Fong Wuye’s access card, allowing him to exit freely, and they couldn’t stop him.
"Fong... President Fong, what should we do now? Should we notify the police?"
After watching the complete video provided by the laboratory, Fong Yan’s expression seemed to be weighed down by heavy frost.
"Let’s not call the police for now. Since this person hasn’t harmed Fong Wuye and only took him away, there might be another motive, and he’s temporarily safe."
"But what if..."
Fong Yan also seemed uneasy; if this person just wanted to escape, Fong Wuye is a burden and useless.
While Fong Yan hesitated about calling the police, a new message appeared in his personal communication.
[Tomorrow early morning under Wuyang Bridge, if you want your cousin unharmed, come alone.]
Chuzheng: "Who sent it?"
Fong Yan shook his head: "Anonymous."
Chuzheng tried to trace it and found that the message was sent by a little girl.
The little girl said a big brother asked her to send it, but she couldn’t describe what the big brother looked like, and didn’t even remember where she met him.
Chuzheng retraced the little girl’s route.
The big brother was found, but he was also just entrusted by someone else.
It turns out that everyone traced was entrusted by someone, all done offline.
The earliest trace started three days ago, meaning Fong Wuye’s kidnapping was just one part of the plan.
Their real target is Fong Yan.
Chuzheng: "I’ll go with you."
Fong Yan: "He wants me alone."
"I’m not a person." This felt like self-insult! "He didn’t say robots couldn’t go."
"..."
That may be true, but Fong Wuye is in their hands...
Plus, he didn’t want Chuzheng to risk herself.
She’s also very important.
"Don’t worry, I won’t let anyone detect me." Chuzheng added: "I just want to ensure your safety."
Meanwhile, I want to see which scoundrel is behind all this trouble.
Fong Yan frowned, still disagreeing.
Chuzheng: "Alright, if you don’t let me go, I’ll go myself."
Legs are attached to my own body!
Fong Yan: "..."
-
Wuyang Bridge.
00:00
Fong Yan descended alone from a narrow path with a flashlight; beneath the bridge was dark, oppressive, and the ground was uneven.
Fong Yan looked around; despite the darkness, there seemed to be nowhere suspicious to hide.
Chuzheng had just separated from him, and he didn’t know where she went.
Fong Yan took a deep breath and kept moving forward.
In the distance, he saw something on the ground but couldn’t clearly see what it was, he paused for a few seconds and headed toward it.
The flashlight beam gradually revealed what was on the ground—a person.
Fong Yan walked over and found it was the shadowy figure, cold all over... dead.
Fong Yan backed up a few steps, shining his flashlight around: "I’m here, where’s Fong Wuye?"
"Clap, clap, clap!"
Applause echoed from the dark.
"President Fong truly cares for your cousin."
Fong Yan looked toward the sound; someone appeared from the other side, alone, seemingly unarmed.
Fong Yan stared at the person, cautiously asking: "Where is Fong Wuye?"
"Relax, your cousin is fine, we haven’t hurt him at all."
"You?" Fong Yan caught the keyword: "Who are you?"
The person chuckled softly: "President Fong, there are some things you’re better off not knowing. The more you know, the quicker you might die, wouldn’t you agree?"
Fong Yan: "What do you want?"
The person opposite was silent for a minute, then slowly replied: "Your life."
"My life? You want to kill me?"
"We’d prefer if you committed suicide; it would save a lot of trouble." The voice remained amused, giving it a sinister edge in the darkness.
"...What if I refuse?"
"Then you and your cousin will both have to die." The person said with a smile: "See, if you kill yourself, your cousin can live."
Fong Yan glanced around with the corner of his eye.
Was this person alone?
Or were there people hidden nearby?
"Rest assured, I’m certainly not alone." The person voluntarily clarified.
Fong Yan’s gaze darkened slightly: "Why do you want me dead? At least let me die with clarity, right?"
"You know things you shouldn’t know, so you must die."
"What do I know?"
The person opposite didn’t speak.
The darkness felt like it was breeding something, entwining Fong Yan; the atmosphere gradually grew bizarre and oppressive.
Fong Yan’s hands at his sides clenched slightly.
"I want to see Fong Wuye."
"President Fong, haven’t you realized? You have no choice, nor am I negotiating." The person paused: "If you’re waiting for your arranged people to come, you’re likely to be disappointed."
Fong Yan had indeed prepared to be met from afar.
But listening to his words now, those people were probably already...
Today, they intended for him to die here.
Fong Wuye was merely bait to lure him here.
This group was thoroughly prepared...
Fong Yan took a deep breath and calmly asked: "What do I know that makes you go to such lengths to eliminate me?"
He regretted not keeping Chuzheng at home.
Where is she now?
"President Fong, some words are better left unsaid." The person opposite didn’t continue the topic.
"Why do you all talk so much?"
A cool, clear female voice sounded in the darkness, followed by glaring lights shining from the side.
The light was too dazzling, leaving Fong Yan’s vision filled with white.
"Thud!"
Fong Yan heard a dull sound.
It sounded like something fell to the ground.
Then came that same clear voice, calmly: "Oops, bumped heads, could bleed to death from that."
Fong Yan’s eyes adjusted, things still seemed blurry and double-visioned, but he finally saw the person opposite clearly.
