Lu Xingzhi wrapped her arms around Huo Jincheng’s neck, "I believe you will make me the most beautiful bride."

"Of course. Our Zhi Zhi, my wife, is naturally the most beautiful." Neither of them mentioned the kidnapping incident again.

After confirming his feelings, Huo Jincheng began thinking about what kind of wedding to have.

Now that he and Lu Xingzhi had received their marriage certificate, he thought even more about it.

He had already hired the world’s top wedding dress designers and had already begun working on designing the dress.

Not just the wedding dress, but also the outfits for the day.

As for other things, he was also looking for wedding planning companies to choose the best one.

He hadn’t told Lu Xingzhi about any of these things.

If it’s an elaborately made wedding dress, entirely handmade, it would indeed take a long time.

"Husband, I’m tired, I want to take a nap." Although Lu Xingzhi had been sleeping these days, it wasn’t restful sleep.

Now back home, back in this familiar embrace, she could finally have a peaceful, restful sleep.

Huo Jincheng felt the same, finally able to have a comfortable sleep.

Over here with Fu Yanzhi, after finally shaking off his tail, a subordinate came to report.

"Sir, the company is now facing bankruptcy. Several parties are collaborating for an acquisition. Aren’t we going to do anything about it?"

Fu Yanzhi replied indifferently, "If it goes bankrupt, it goes bankrupt. I don’t care at all."

"But, so many people in the group will end up unemployed." Xu Liang couldn’t help but feel a bit uneasy.

"Does it have anything to do with me? Their unemployment is their problem. Besides, if they have the ability, they’ll still get hired by big companies. There’s no need for me to worry. By now, I suppose headhunters should be bustling about!"

Fu Yanzhi didn’t care about the fates of these people; his conscience had been gone for many years now.

"So, are we going to France next?" Xu Liang asked.

After all, several years ago, Fu Yanzhi had secretly established a company there.

Moreover, although Yunyan appeared prosperous, part of its assets had been transferred there.

"Now... go buy two plane tickets," Fu Yanzhi smiled, "but find a stand-in to go in my place."

Indeed, Fu Yanzhi was quite twisted; years ago, he had someone find a person who resembled him.

Then he paid to have them undergo surgery.

No matter how much they resembled him, the essence was still different.

"I understand."

After Xu Liang left, Fu Yanzhi sat on the sofa, his eyes devoid of any spirit.

He always felt that even after doing what he wanted, he didn’t gain much pleasure.

Instead, he felt a bit irritated.

These past few days, he kept recalling the sight of Lu Xingzhi shedding tears out of concern for Huo Jincheng.

He always said he wanted to see Lu Xingzhi’s expression change.

He finally saw it and got his wish, but he was not happy about it.

More scenes surfaced in his mind of Lu Xingzhi picking up a knife and slicing her cheek open.

Her face covered in blood, staining her clothes red.

Ha...

Fu Yanzhi, what are you thinking?

Fu Yanzhi laughed at himself in mockery.

You really are sick.

And it’s quite serious. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

After having played mind games with Huo Jincheng and them, and fleeing in haste, he returned to this mountain village villa.

This was built on his mother’s instructions.

In front of it, there’s a river.

This was the life his mother once aspired to have.

But soon after the villa was built, her life turned sour.

She had no heart to take care of this place anymore.
