Chapter 337: Chapter 337 We’ve Been Targeted

"Haozi has been captured."

Lu Xining pursed her lips tightly, her expression serious and worried, a heavy sense of an impending storm weighing on her heart.

Haozi had always been her hidden ace.

He usually operated in the shadows; over the years, he had never shown himself in public, and aside from their own people, no one knew of his relationship with her.

Even when he led people to rescue Lu Nuonuo in Port City last time, he wore a mask to cover his face.

Upon hearing this, Fu Junhang’s gaze darkened, his brows knitted tightly together.

How could this be such a coincidence?

His overseas business was attacked by an unidentified force, suffering severe damage; many of his subordinates were taken away.

And now, at this very moment, Haozi was captured?

Hearing about Fu Junhang’s situation, combined with Haozi’s capture, a cold light flashed in Lu Xining’s calm eyes as she said softly, "We’ve been targeted."

She never believed in so many coincidences in this world.

After the scars on Fu Junhang’s face healed, his features appeared even more handsome and refined. He stared at Lu Xining and said in a deep voice, "I need to make a trip back to Country C."

With so many brothers in trouble, he, as their leader, could not ignore it.

"Don’t worry, I will arrange for someone to investigate this immediately, and we will bring Haozi back safe and sound."

The reason why nobody had been able to track Haozi all these years was a very important point: his residence was never fixed.

He was passionate about travel and adventure.

Today in the primeval forest, tomorrow he might be fishing in the deep sea, and the day after that, who knows where he would fly off to.

Even if they wanted to contact him, they would do it by email.

Haozi’s computer talent remained unmatched to date and his skill in flexibly using various identities was his lifesaver.

Even if all of them were caught, Lu Xining believed that Haozi would not be among them.

But now!

The person least likely to be captured just got captured in transit?

Lu Xining’s eyes appeared colder and more detached as she pondered, making it hard to imagine what sort of character this person hiding in the background was.

"Alright, when you return, go straight to Jing Zheng."

"I’ve left a list there; it includes everyone who has been closely connected to the laboratories over the years."

Fu Junhang knew that list was her trump card.

She wouldn’t resort to using the contacts on that list unless it was absolutely necessary.

He comforted her, saying, "Haozi isn’t someone who gets captured easily. He has many ways to save himself and many capable people under him; he will certainly be alright."

What concerned Fu Junhang even more at the moment was...

Leaving Lu Nuonuo in the country was equivalent to leaving Lu Xining’s Achilles’ heel exposed to the opponent.

"Should I take the child with me?" he asked for her opinion.

Lu Xining shook her head, "No need, keeping Nuonuo by my side is more reliable."

After all, the country strictly bans certain weapons, but it might not be the case in other countries.

She cautioned Fu Junhang, "You must be careful and return safely."

Under the bright indoor lighting, the man’s beautiful eyes took a deep look at her, his mouth curving into a smile as he said, "Don’t worry, I’ll return safely."

No sooner had Fu Junhang left, Lu Xining received another phone call.

At this time, in the hospital room where Ji Muye was staying, thanks to several days of intensive treatment, the wounds on his body were gradually scabbing over, and he was able to change into a hospital gown.

Lu Nuonuo lay on the sofa by the window, counting the little yellow flowers on the tree outside.

Suddenly, she exclaimed, "Huh?"

She ran to the window and waved at Fu Junhang getting into the car, shouting loudly, "Uncle Fu—"

The man, as if sensing something, turned his head to look in the direction of Ji Muye’s hospital room.

Because of the glass design, he couldn’t see Little Dumpling waving inside; he took one deep look and then got into the car, heading straight for the airport.

"Uncle Fu is in such a hurry."

Lu Nuonuo, who rarely saw Fu Junhang with such a serious expression, murmured to herself.

While working on his bed in the hospital, Ji Muye heard his daughter’s murmur and turned his head to ask, "What did Nuonuo see?"

Lu Nuonuo recounted the haste with which Fu Junhang departed, her soft voice full of worried emotions.

"Uncle Fu looked so dark and serious," she said.

In these times of constant troubles, Ji Muye’s heart instantly became more vigilant.

He was just about to call Ma Sai in, but saw him coming in first with a grave expression.

With a child present, Ma Sai couldn’t speak openly, and instead handed over the tablet he was holding.

Lu Nuonuo thought of Uncle Fu’s hurry and worriedly wondered to herself: Could it be that something has happened to mom?

Worried about her mother, Little Dumpling immediately climbed down from the sofa with agility.

She trotted over to the bedside and told Ji Muye, "Uncle, I’m going to find mom. You rest well, be good, okay?"

The hospital room was far from Lu Xining’s office.

Lu Nuonuo promptly sought the help of her female assistant.

Ji Muye, worried about her, had Ma Sai accompany her with bodyguards to ensure her safety.

He continued to look through the data on the tablet, his eyes gradually darkening, and after reading all the information, he immediately dialed a number.

"Old Xi, this is Ji Muye."

"About that matter you mentioned before, I agree, but I also have a condition."

Since Ji Muye had decided on this path, he had gradually moved Shi’an Group’s business towards military technology.

He gave up many high-investment, high-risk business areas and started on a stable path.

The days spent recuperating at the research base were warm and joyful.

But it wasn’t a long-term plan.

He still had a long way to go.

Two days later.

When Lu Xining heard that Ji Muye was leaving, she did not stop him.

The man’s wounds were healing well, and with further care, there would be no more life-threatening incidents.

Little Dumpling looked at Ji Muye with reluctance and softly admonished, "Uncle, take care of yourself, getting a shot on the butt really hurts."

"Alright, your uncle will cherish his life."

Ji Muye held her tiny body tightly, inhaling the sweet scent of candy from her, savoring these last few seconds of warmth.

"I’m bringing Wang Snake back to protect Nuonuo, you go ahead and do what you want to do."

His eyes held a pure darkness, and although he conveyed no specific information, Lu Xining understood the meaning behind his words.

An extra person to protect the child meant additional safety.

Lu Xining did not refuse his suggestion and reminded him to take care of the two sons in Jingzhou.

"With grandfather there, they’re safe with the Ji Family."

Ji Muye originally wanted to have her send the daughter to the Ji Family as well, but thinking of her character nowadays, he eventually did not bring it up.

Before leaving, he gazed down at her face, his dark pupils filled with unspoken emotions.

After putting the child to bed, Lu Xining called Fu Junhang.

"The situation here is resolved, but there’s still no news about Haozi, and no one from the other party has contacted us."

The man had just dealt with his matters at hand.

Upon receiving the phone call, he wiped the blood off his hands while discussing the situation with her.

"Sometimes no news is good news."
