Chapter 731: Chapter 729: The Strongest Confidant is Not an Exaggeration

Xu Zhenzhen’s expression turned dark almost instantly, her hostility toward Pavel visible to the naked eye.

Pavel had grown accustomed to this, he didn’t even think there was anything wrong with it.

"Why are you here again?" Her gaze fixed firmly on Pavel, her voice ice-cold.

Pavel sat directly opposite Xu Zhenzhen, his eyes scanned his face, then he spoke slowly, "I remember you had a boyfriend back in your home country."

Xu Zhenzhen felt a sudden drop in her heart, but still, she put on an unyielding façade, looking at Pavel, "What? You’re planning to threaten me with him? I cut ties with him a long time ago, from the moment you took me, there was no relation between him and me."

"Is that so?" Pavel’s fingers lightly tapped on the tabletop, pretending to say casually, "Wasn’t the guy who had a blind date with you yesterday the same one?"

"..."

Xu Zhenzhen didn’t speak a word, just stared quietly at Pavel.

It seemed she wanted to ask him why he would say that.

Pavel felt a slight discomfort in his throat, coughed lightly, and then continued, "I’ve caught him already, so denying it won’t do you any good."

Xu Zhenzhen thought about what Lu Zhaozhao had told her, that Xia Wenqing was not in any mortal danger.

So she mustered her strength to maintain eye contact with Pavel, "What exactly do you want? You’ve already captured one of my friends, and now you’ve caught my ex-boyfriend from my home country, what? Are you planning to capture everyone I know from back home?"

Her aggressive demeanor didn’t at all resemble someone whose weakness had been caught, which somewhat surprised Pavel.

He frowned slightly, was just about to say something when he suddenly felt a tightness in his chest.

Pavel suppressed the discomfort in his chest and continued, "I’ve said before that as long as you stay in E country obediently, I won’t harm your friends, but you just won’t listen. Moreover, you’ve teamed up with outsiders to oppose your biological father."

The more he spoke, the more Pavel felt a blockage in his chest.

Especially when he saw Xu Zhenzhen’s hands slowly clenched into fists, he felt that his own rage was no less than hers.

"What? You’re planning to betray me for a man?" Pavel looked at Xu Zhenzhen with a sneer, just as he was about to speak again, he suddenly tasted a metallic sweetness in his throat.

Then, right in front of Xu Zhenzhen, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

At this point not only Pavel, even Xu Zhenzhen was taken aback, and the bodyguards around Pavel were in even more of a panic.

"Leader? Leader? Are you alright?!"

"Quick! Call a doctor! Get the private doctor here!"

"First get the leader lying flat, don’t move him!"

...

The room was instantly thrown into chaos, the overlapping voices giving Xu Zhenzhen a headache.

She simply took the opportunity to slip out of the room amidst the confusion, and naturally, Lu Zhaozhao followed her out.

"What exactly happened to Pavel? Why did he suddenly vomit blood? It couldn’t be that he was really angered by me, right?" Xu Zhenzhen walked while she couldn’t help discussing Pavel’s condition with Lu Zhaozhao.

Lu Zhaozhao was almost at a loss whether to laugh or cry, "What are you thinking? If he could vomit blood just by being angered by you, then our life would really be easier."

Just find a few people to irritate him, and they could easily take down the whole Pavlov Family.

Xu Zhenzhen shrugged in silence, then suddenly, as if she remembered something, "Should we take this chaos as an opportunity to visit the dungeon? Pavel is spewing blood, that should send the entire villa into an uproar. If we go to the dungeon now, we probably won’t be discovered."

Lu Zhaozhao fell silent for a moment, then looked up to meet Xu Zhenzhen’s earnest gaze, letting out a sigh of resignation she could only agree with a nod.

After all, she wanted to rescue Xia Wenqing as quickly as possible.

The villa was in such turmoil now, and a visit at this time should be much easier than usual.

Thinking this, Lu Zhaozhao followed Xu Zhenzhen toward the dungeon, one in front of the other.

Things went smoother than they had expected; no sooner had they stepped into the dungeon than they saw Xia Wenqing, confined in a room.

"Big Brother!" As soon as Xu Zhenzhen saw Xia Wenqing in tattered clothes, covered in blood, her entire being instantly became distressed.

There were even many dried blood stains on his body, making Xu Zhenzhen feel as if her heart was being fiercely clenched, her whole body trembling with sorrow.

Xia Wenqing was initially thrilled to see Xu Zhenzhen, but seeing her on the brink of collapse, he quickly clarified, "I’m fine, I don’t have a scratch on me, all of this is fake."

No longer feigning weakness, he looked to be in pretty good shape aside from being somewhat dirty.

Xu Zhenzhen couldn’t care about anything else and immediately went forward to unlock the chains on Xia Wenqing’s hands.

Fortunately, the keys hadn’t been taken; they were just hanging on the wall.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to unlock Xia Wenqing’s chains so easily.

Once Xia Wenqing was freed, he immediately checked Xu Zhenzhen thoroughly from top to bottom, left and right, ensuring she had no injuries, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Xu Zhenzhen was dumbfounded by Xia Wenqing’s actions—surely, it was he who should be inspected.

Especially the whip marks on his body were too conspicuous; Xu Zhenzhen couldn’t help but reach out to touch Xia Wenqing’s back but was caught by him, "It’s all blood, too dirty."

No sooner had Xia Wenqing uttered these words than Xu Zhenzhen’s tears started to fall with a plop.

He then realized that his words had been misconstrued.

Xia Wenqing waved his hands hastily, "What I mean is, I’m dirty, the blood isn’t mine."

Seeing Xu Zhenzhen crying intensely, Lu Zhaozhao quickly patted her back, "Zhenzhen, my brother said the blood on him is fake."

Although Lu Zhaozhao said this, she couldn’t resist covertly pressing on the wounds on Xia Wenqing’s back.

After checking, Lu Zhaozhao herself was taken aback, "It’s really fake."

Xu Zhenzhen finally held back her tears, "Really? You aren’t deceiving me?"

Lu Zhaozhao was the first to nod, "The blood on my brother’s back isn’t human, which means he wasn’t beaten while he was in the cell."

Early that morning, Song Sinian had told her that Xia Wenqing’s situation would probably be resolved today.

She thought Song Sinian was just comforting her, never expecting he would actually achieve it.

Upon this realization, Lu Zhaozhao couldn’t help asking aloud, "Big Brother, who has been helping you from the shadows? Is it an undercover ally planted by Mr. Song?"

Xia Wenqing gave a wry smile and nodded, "Indeed, it is an eye he had planted, and you probably would never guess who it is."

"Is it Niezuo?!" Xu Zhenzhen couldn’t wait for Lu Zhaozhao to speak and blurted out herself.

To her surprise, Xia Wenqing decisively nodded, "Yes, it’s him. He’s Pavel’s most capable assistant, calling him the strongest confidant wouldn’t be an overstatement."
