Chapter 780: I’ll Wait for You At Home!

This was already the fifth call Ah Zhan was making, but the person he ordered to stay vigil by Li Muyang didn’t pick up. Ah Zhan was feeling panicked, fearing something might have happened to Li Muyang.

“Not even ten million? You… one can’t be too greedy! If you’re too greedy and my dad ends up calling the cops, you’re going to get nothing!” Fu Tianci clenched his teeth. “Fifteen million! I can’t go any higher than this!”

“Shut up!” Ah Zhan pointed his gun at Fu Tianci.

Fu Tianci’s Adam’s apple glided up and down, and he subconsciously raised both hands. But when he thought of how Ah Zhan was using him to threaten Lin Nuan, he grew bolder and pried Ah Zhan’s gun away from him with one hand, even smiling to feign calmness. “If you kill me, what are you going to use to threaten Lin Nuan?”

Seeing Ah Zhan grit his teeth, Fu Tianci knew that his words were right on-point. His entire body began to relax as he seriously negotiated with Ah Zhan…

“How much did your boss give you exactly for you to slog your guts out for him? Can your boss give you 15 million? Don’t think that just because I’m a child, my words don’t count. You gotta know that I’m my dad’s only son! When you call him, don’t say that you’re using me to threaten Lin Nuan. Just say that you kidnapped me, and my dad will surely give it to you! I guarantee he won’t call the cops!”

“Seal his mouth up for me!” Ah Zhan ordered his men with an aching head.

“I say… oo… oo…”

With Fu Tianci’s mouth sealed, Ah Zhan finally felt peace in his ears. He dialed the number once again, but still, no one picked up.

Ah Zhan tugged at his collar in frustration.

…

A green light.

The minibus that Lin Nuan and the rest were sitting in was originally advancing steadily. But suddenly, it turned into the right lane and slowly made a right turn. The minivan carrying Ah Zhan and Fu Tianci rapidly followed the car ahead.

Watching as Fu Tianci got further and further away, Lin Nuan gripped Mu Taotao’s hand. “What is Fu Tianci going to do after I leave?”

“Sister Nuan, don’t worry, he’ll surely be rescued!” Mu Taotao reassured Lin Nuan.

“Taotao, I don’t want to give you guys trouble, but Ah Zhan has explosives on him. If he suddenly goes mad… I’m really worried!” Lin Nuan’s temples were throbbing.

“Hence, they’ve got to be rescued one by one! Sister Nuan, believe in me! We’ll surely be able to rescue Fu Tianci!” Mu Taotao smiled at Lin Nuan, seeming confident.

Mu Taotao had confidence in their captain. Even though their captain looked like a little puppy, he was of a steady character and never did something he wasn’t confident about.

Lin Nuan nodded and held back her emotions, trying to make herself calm down. She was unable to be of any help, so all the more, she didn’t want to add to the trouble.

The minibus swerved into the Third Ring from Qujiang Road, into the more secluded Wenyi Road, and stopped by the side.

“Boss, change into a different car…” the driver turned his head and said to Lin Nuan.

Lin Nuan nodded, then got off with You Nainai and Mu Taotao.

Mu Taotao and You Nainai protected Lin Nuan as they got into a black Lincoln MKC that was stopped in front of the minibus.

Lin Nuan’s heart was panicking wildly. She lowered her head and sat down. You Nainai inconspicuously grabbed Lin Nuan’s sweaty hand and didn’t let go.

The bag that Lin Nuan had left in the makeup room in a rush was placed in the backseat. Lin Nuan subconsciously picked it up and hugged it to her chest.

Mu Taotao got into the front passenger seat, and the Lincoln MKC started moving. Mu Taotao retrieved a box from the storage box and opened it, then nimbly assembled a gun and loaded a clip before handing it to You Nainai.

The quiet atmosphere made Lin Nuan’s nerves highly strung.

You Nainai nodded and took it from her, placing it at her waist.

A phone vibrated, startling the highly tense Lin Nuan.

The driver in the front seat put the call through, and only then did Lin Nuan look in his direction and pause.

Was that not the staff member from Jinjiang TV Station who said hello to Mu Taotao and clumsily dropped the props case?

The man in a navy cardigan handed the phone to Lin Nuan. “Big Boss, phone!”

Lin Nuan saw the driver handing the phone to her, and after she hesitated for a moment, she took it. An encrypted number was displayed on the phone screen. She took it with both hands and placed it by her ear. “Hello…”

Because she had been in a constantly tense state, her muscles were tight. Therefore, the moment Lin Nuan opened her mouth, her voice sounded a little raspy and off-pitch.

“Xiao Nuan…”

Fu Huai’an’s deep voice could be heard over the phone, and Lin Nuan felt her nose starting to sting.

Before she could speak of her aggrievedness, Lin Nuan hurriedly said to Fu Huai’an, “Ah Zhan has explosives on him and has Fu Tianci held hostage. If Ah Zhan discovers that I’m not in that car, won’t he do something terrible to Fu Tianci?”

“Don’t worry, Fu Tianci will be alright. You go home with You Nainai first, and wait for me there!”

Lin Nuan always believed in what Fu Huai’an said. If Fu Huai’an said that Fu Tianci would be fine, Lin Nuan believed it!

Lin Nuan gazed at the driver, and in her peripheral vision, she could see Mu Taotao…

She remembered Fang Yan mentioning that Mu Taotao was a relative of Little Lu. It was Little Lu who called Fang Yan and arranged for her to make Mu Taotao Lin Nuan’s makeup artist!

Lin Nuan thought again of how, when they were at the new residence after filming the publicity film, Lin Nuan had treated the staff of Jinjiang TV Station to a meal. Fu Huai’an didn’t drink when others toasted him. Only when Mu Taotao toasted him and said that she would take good care of Lin Nuan did Fu Huai’an raise his cup and take a sip.

Linking those two incidents together, plus the Jinjiang TV Station staff member, Lin Nuan seemed to have made sense of things…

She gently gripped the bottom end of her top and asked Fu Huai’an, “Mu Taotao and all these people, did you arrange them by my side?”

Mu Taotao, who carried a gun at all times, the young lady with exceptional skills, the Jinjiang TV Station staff member, and You Nainai, whom Fu Huai’an had openly placed next to her.

They were clearly in their home country, where they should be the safest. Yet, Fu Huai’an had placed so many people around her!

Lin Nuan felt uneasy. She was wondering whether it was due to Li Muyang or because Fu Huai’an’s identity showed signs of being revealed. It was Fu Huai’an shielding her and not letting her know that danger lurked all around her.

“This was a necessary protection for you. Are you angry because I didn’t tell you?” Fu Huai’an lowered his voice.

Lin Nuan shook her head, looking serious. “I fear that you’re in danger yet keeping it from me!”

“Arranging them by your side is just a precautionary measure. I’m not in any danger, don’t be scared!” Fu Huai’an’s mature voice was full of gentleness. “We can talk later when we get back.”

Lin Nuan nodded. Realizing that Fu Huai’an couldn’t see her nod on the other end, she said, “Okay, I’ll wait for you at home!”

After hanging up the call, Lin Nuan handed the phone to the man in the driver’s seat. She then heard Mu Taotao ask, “Boss, where are we taking Sister Nuan? Back to the show recording at Jinjiang TV Station?”

The man at the wheel glanced at Mu Taotao with a grim face. “To Haicheng!”

At that moment, there was a frenzy at Jinjiang TV Station after Lin Nuan and Fu Tianci were taken away. Everyone was wondering whether Lin Nuan had offended someone in the triads.
