The Time-Limited Love and Marriage-Chapter 544

But as soon as Fu Wangning finished speaking, Jiang Moxi sneered and asked her, "What makes you think I would let you go?"

Fu Wangning said, "This wasn’t my plan, and you surely don’t want to harm innocent people..."

However, she only got halfway through her sentence when Jiang Moxi interrupted her.

"It’s not that I can’t let you go. Miss Fu has been a doctor and a professor, and you must have saved quite a lot of money over the years. Transfer all the funds you have into my account, and I’ll let you go. How about that?"

Fu Wangning found these words oddly familiar; then, suddenly it hit her—weren’t these the same words she had just said to Jiang Moxi in the car?

Embarrassed and annoyed, Fu Wangning retorted, "Jiang Moxi, you have even more assets in your name than I do, why are you so fixated on this small amount of my money?"

Fu Wangning didn’t want to transfer her assets to Jiang Moxi, feeling extremely humiliated by the idea.

But Jiang Moxi just laughed, "In this world, who would ever think they have too much money?"

Fu Wangning had intended to ask Jiang Moxi to change her demand, but before she knew it, Jiang Moxi had pressed the muzzle of a gun against the back of her head.

"If you don’t want to pay, then your life will compensate," Jiang Moxi said while fiddling with the gun.

That sound made Fu Wangning wonder for a moment if her head was about to explode.

Scared out of her wits, Fu Wangning screamed, throwing care for money and dignity to the wind, "Okay, okay, I’ll transfer the money to you, just don’t shoot."

Money and face were important, but what use were they if she lost her life?

Saying this, Fu Wangning immediately began transferring the money to the account Jiang Moxi had provided.

Seeing the fresh deposit of ten million, Jiang Moxi seemed quite pleased and said to Old John, "Tonight, I’ll treat you guys to dinner."

How could Old John dare to refuse a Dead Ghost’s treat?

And the other mercenaries, having not had a decent meal in a while, were all cheers and joy.

Watching Jiang Moxi use her money to throw a party and seeing everyone’s high spirits, Fu Wangning was seething with anger.

The more she watched, the more it seemed to her that today was not about her and Fu Shaoquan colluding with Old John to kidnap Jiang Moxi, but rather like Jiang Moxi and Old John conspiring to kidnap her and Fu Shaoquan.

But temper aside, escaping was crucial.

Fu Wangning took the opportunity while everyone was cheerful and jubilant to quietly get up and walk towards the exit.

However, halfway there, a mercenary intercepted her.

Feeling that Jiang Moxi was not keeping her word, Fu Wangning turned around and accused, "I’ve already transferred the money to you, what else do you want?"

Jiang Moxi, after eating another grape, just smiled and said, "I also want to invite you to watch a show for free."

"A show?" Fu Wangning looked puzzled. "What show?"

"You’ll see in a moment."

As soon as Jiang Moxi finished speaking, someone came to report that Fu Shaoquan had arrived.

Then, Jiang Moxi motioned for Old John to tape Fu Wangning’s mouth and tied her up, throwing her in a corner.

When Fu Shaoquan came in with the butler, he saw Jiang Moxi sitting on the sofa, leisurely eating fruit.

Old John and the others were chatting nearby.

Seeing Jiang Moxi’s content demeanor, Fu Shaoquan’s eyes slightly narrowed.

"Want some?" Jiang Moxi looked up, locking eyes with Fu Shaoquan.

Fu Shaoquan noticed that her clear eyes showed no sign of panic.

"No, thank you. I’m clearly not as experienced and composed as Miss Xi, even in a kidnapping scenario," Fu Shaoquan remarked.

"That’s a shame," Jiang Moxi withdrew her gaze and checked her watch.

There is still an hour before she and Yu Dingding go to see the show, she needs to deal with Fu Shaoquan as soon as possible.

While Jiang Moxi was calculating the time, Fu Shaoquan asked Old John,

"Where’s Wangning? Shouldn’t she be with you all?"

"Miss Fu wanted to eat ice cream, so she went to town to buy some,"

Old John lied through his teeth while surreptitiously glancing at Jiang Moxi to see if she was going to make a move.

But to his surprise, Fu Shaoquan quickly sensed something was off, "Wangning doesn’t eat ice cream! What exactly did you do to her?"

As Fu Shaoquan’s questions echoed, he and the butler also drew their guns, aiming them at Old John’s head.

Old John and others instantly pulled out their weapons too, aiming them at Fu Shaoquan and the butler.

While the standoff ensued, Jiang Moxi spoke faintly: "Didn’t expect Mr. Fu to care so much about Miss Fu? Even knowing her daily preferences? It seems Miss Fu is more than just an adopted bride of the Fu Family."

Fu Shaoquan sharply turned around, only to see Jiang Moxi still sitting on the sofa, a cherry in her hand.

With such a leisurely and careless demeanor, she looked more like the employer than Fu Shaoquan himself.

"So, Miss Xi, you know about my relationship with Fu Wangning?" Fu Shaoquan said.

At that moment, Fu Wangning was hidden behind a drum twenty meters away.

Even though she was tucked away in a corner, she hadn’t given up on escaping and kept trying to untie the ropes binding her hands.

It was only when she overheard the conversation between Fu Shaoquan and Jiang Moxi...

"Not just an adopted bride"?

What did that mean? 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Driven by intense curiosity, she stopped trying to secretly untie the ropes and listened intently.

"Mr. Fu, Miss Fu is actually your illegitimate daughter, right? Did you bring her home under the guise of an adopted bride so she could grow up by your side?"

Jiang Moxi’s voice came through again, causing Fu Wangning to stiffen.

She was Fu Shaoquan’s biological daughter?

That... couldn’t be real, right?

If she was Fu Shaoquan’s biological daughter, why would Fu Shaoquan keep forcing her to be with her brother Fu Youhan?

While Fu Wangning was still internally denying this conclusion, she heard Fu Shaoquan chuckle: "So you also know that that boy Fu Youhan isn’t my own flesh and blood? Did he tell you?"

Fu Wangning felt her head buzzing from Fu Shaoquan’s words, which indirectly affirmed what Jiang Moxi had said.

So she really is Fu Shaoquan’s biological daughter?

Was Fu Shaoquan forcing her to marry Fu Youhan as a way to control him?

At this moment, Fu Wangning didn’t even know how to describe her feelings.

All these years, she had been tirelessly improving her talents, never daring to slack off for fear of not meeting Fu Shaoquan’s expectations and being thrown out of the family.

But in the end, she turned out to be Fu Shaoquan’s own daughter, while the most talented member of the Fu Family, Fu Youhan, was not of Fu Shaoquan’s blood...

On the other side, Jiang Moxi sneered at Fu Shaoquan: "I am from the Feng Family, in this Emperor City, do I need to go through others to know something?"

Even if it meant falling out with Fu Shaoquan, Jiang Moxi would try not to interfere with the original plans of Fu Youhan.

But Fu Shaoquan, a man who would rather kill wrongly than to miss an enemy,

"If that boy told you this, today I cannot let you leave here unscathed."

Fu Youhan himself had already become dangerously uncontrollable, and now with Jiang Moxi added to the equation, how could it be tolerated?

So, Fu Shaoquan aimed his gun at Jiang Moxi...
