Mr Fu, I Really Love You

Chapter 866 Other Than You, There Is No One More Suited for the Role!

"Cen Mo is Lu Xiangsi's older brother?" Lu Jinnan asked.

Fu Huai'an didn't reply. He shifted the cigarette to the corner of his lips, then stood with one hand in his pocket as he gazed at the tall buildings standing amidst the heavy snow, looking far away from the Kaide Corporation.

"So, you've made a deal with the army… You'll go rescue those people, while they'll protect Lin Nuan?" Although Lu Jinnan posed this as a question, he was almost certain it was the case in his heart.

After a long while, the cigarette at Fu Huai'an's fingertips finished burning. The gray-white colored cigarette ash fell together with the snowflakes, scattering on the ground.

"Lu Jinnan, I used to be a soldier. There are some things carved into my bones that I can't simply discard." Fu Huai'an dropped the cigarette butt, then extinguished it with his leather shoe. "I have a wife and a son, but there are some things that I need to do…"

That one sentence from Fu Huai'an stuffed up Lu Jinnan's heart, making it ache.

Lu Jinnan had known Fu Huai'an for many years. He knew that Huai'an had made up his mind to go. Lu Jinnan strode away from the rooftop in anger and slammed the door behind him as he went off.

…

Other than the colonel from the army, Lin Nuan, Mu Taotao, and You Nainai were the only ones left in the dressing room.

Lin Nuan smiled as she looked at the army officer with a fierce disposition sitting on the sofa, speaking calmly. "The military has its own military channel, as well as its own show host. You can get your own show host in the army to do such a show. There's no reason for you to pick someone outside of the army."

"The show hosts in the military don't have your popularity. Besides, you're doing an excellent job with these military-themed shows!" The male officer sat with his legs crossed and one hand resting on the armrest of the sofa. "All these years, there have been many negative pieces of news about the military. This is the result of the media's descriptions of single cases, which has caused the public to develop a misunderstanding about soldiers…"

Lin Nuan leaned her body sideways with one elbow rested on the armrest of her makeup chair and nodded. Lin Nuan agreed with that point.

"The show that we're doing, the main objective is to publicize the army. We want to tell the public what a soldier is, what the soul of being a soldier is, and what guts are! About the belief of soldiers! This is why the show host has got to be popular and of a suitable disposition! Other than you, there's no one more suited for the role!"

The colonel spoke logically and reasonably. However… when Lin Nuan gazed at his eyes, she felt that he was hiding something from her.

"Ding ding ding ding ding—"

Lin Nuan's phone, which was by the makeup mirror, vibrated. She turned her head…

Mu Taotao glanced at Lin Nuan's phone, then picked it up and handed it to Lin Nuan. "The incoming caller is… Mr. Lu!"

It was Lu Jinnan, but when Mu Taotao was about to say his name, she changed it to Mr. Lu, clearly wary of the colonel.

Lin Nuan took the phone and glanced at it, then planted both feet on the ground and got up before saying to the colonel, "Sorry, I need to answer a call!"

Lin Nuan didn't exit the dressing room, merely walking to the clothes racks with her phone. She turned her head, smiling and nodding at the colonel before putting the call through and placing the phone by her ear. "Hello…:

"Lin Nuan, something happened. Four ex-comrades who were on the same undercover mission as Old Fu back then were captured. Old Fu made a deal with the military. The military will send you to the army and protect you, and Tuan Tuan will be sent to Cen Mo. Those people previously protecting you and Tuan Tuan will all stay and protect Yun Liuli. He's going to go and rescue them single-handedly!"

Lu Jinnan spoke in a low and speedy voice, but Lin Nuan still understood it all…

Her back stiffened, and her brain was filled with the words about Fu Huai'an single-handedly going to rescue his old comrades!

Lin Nuan felt a lump in her throat. She turned her head and glanced at the colonel sitting on the sofa, her face a tad pale.

When that colonel's eyes met Lin Nuan's, he slightly raised an eyebrow in a questioning manner at Lin Nuan.

Lin Nuan awkwardly looked away, her heart thumping!

Made a deal with the military?

Then the reason this colonel came to talk about some show was to keep Lin Nuan in the army?

Last time, when Fu Huai'an sent Qin Zhe to Dubai, he returned with a leg injury. Lin Nuan could still feel the jitters when she recalled that matter!

Now, Fu Huai'an was going to face danger again?

Previously, when he sent Qin Zhe to Dubai, it was already enough to put Lin Nuan on tenterhooks. Now, he was even going to single-handedly rescue people!

Fu Huai'an didn't tell her this himself, and instead, directly got someone from the military to seek her out. By doing this… was he planning to hide it from her?

Lin Nuan's heart was a jumbled mess!

"Send Tuan Tuan to Cen Mo? Why send him to Cen Mo?" There was a barely distinct quiver in Lin Nuan's voice.

On the other end of the line, Lu Jinnan tugged at his tie anxiously, his voice even lower now. "Lin Nuan, what you need to be concerned about now isn't that. I've already tried to talk to Old Fu, but he refused to heed my words. I can only count on you to persuade him! You're not aware of the undercover mission Old Fu undertook back then. At that time, many soldiers had died going undercover in the Golden Triangle! Old Fu barely managed to escape death before he finally sent them to prison! This time… in exchange for some condition, America freed the woman Old Fu sent to prison from that time. Now that she's free, she's clearly targeting Old Fu… to seek revenge on him! If Old Fu goes… he has a slim chance of surviving! If you love Old Fu, you must keep him around!"

Lin Nuan remained silent. She straightened her shivering back, trying to control her emotions.

After a long while of not hearing Lin Nuan's voice, Lu Jinnan frowned and spoke again. "Lin Nuan, everything I said… did you hear it?"

Lin Nuan swallowed her saliva with much difficulty, her throat so swollen that it felt painful as she spoke. "I got it!"

Lu Jinnan perhaps sensed Lin Nuan's emotions. His brows furrowed as he spoke in a low voice. "Sorry, I'm not trying to pressure you, but I…"

"I understand!" Lin Nuan interrupted Lu Jinnan's words, quietly repeating her words. "I understand…"

No one spoke for quite a while…

Lin Nuan clenched her teeth, then lowered her gaze and said to Lu Jinnan, "A colonel from the military came to look for me, hoping I can go to the army to do a military-related show. I'll hang up for now and have a talk with this colonel!"

Lu Jinnan tightened his grip on his phone. He hadn't expected the military to act so swiftly, to have already found Lin Nuan.

Lin Nuan clearly meant something deeper when she mentioned having a talk with him. Lu Jinnan couldn't resist asking, "What are you going to talk about?"

"Hanging up first!" Lin Nuan said, then hung up.

Lowering her gaze and staring at her phone, Lin Nuan exhaled, making herself appear more calm and steady. She turned on the recording function without revealing anything on her face. After slipping her phone into her pocket, she turned around and smiled slightly, just like she did earlier. "Nainai, Taotao… you guys can go out first. I want to have a talk with this colonel!"

You Nainai stared at Lin Nuan in astonishment. Mu Taotao was quite concerned as well.

The colonel looked a little surprised. He narrowed his eyes at Lin Nuan, wearing a maybe-smiling-maybe-not expression on his face.

Lin Nuan nodded at Mu Taotao and You Nainai before they hesitantly walked out of the dressing room.
