Chapter 378: Chapter 402: I Really Underestimated You

Shen Binnan’s expression, as icy as a glacier, changed slightly, then he shook his head indifferently and said, "What secrets could I possibly have?"

Fang Yi smiled and did not press further, saying, "From now on, the guy named Roger has disappeared."

Shen Binnan said, "There are still several youths in the Luo Family, what if they impersonate Roger again?"

Fang Yi’s expression turned cold for a moment, then his lips curled into a sinister sneer and said, "Then we’ll kidnap them all!"

For some reason, Shen Binnan suddenly felt a surge of sympathy, sympathy for the Luo Family. If they heard what Fang Yi had said, they would probably want to strangle Fang Yi, wouldn’t they?

The next day, Fang Yi and Shen Binnan had breakfast at the hotel and then headed to the Luo Family compound.

The Luo Family owned a separate villa, where Shen Binnan’s grandmother lived, along with the Family Head of the Luo Family, Luo Mingguang. Fang Yi drove directly there.

Upon arriving at the villa, Fang Yi rang the doorbell, and soon a maid rushed over to inquire about their identities. At this moment, Fang Yi kept a low profile and let Shen Binnan handle it.

Once Shen Binnan disclosed their identity, the maid immediately opened the iron gate and invited them inside. Once they reached the villa’s main hall, the maid poured tea for them and asked them to wait, then turned to go upstairs to call the master down.

At that time, Luo Mingguang was having a private conversation with a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man’s demeanor was imposing. Luo Mingguang treated him with utmost respect, knowing that his status was extraordinary, and that just a word or a gesture of his finger could make the Luo Family vanish completely.

Therefore, Luo Mingguang was extremely respectful, smiling and saying, "Fourth Master, rest assured, I will handle this matter to your satisfaction without any mistakes."

The middle-aged man nodded slightly and said, "As long as this matter is settled, you have my word, your Luo Family won’t need to stay in Southern Domain City anymore. Even if you go to Tianjing, I can help you establish a foothold. However, if you fail..."

Luo Mingguang hurriedly said, "Rest assured, Fourth Master, I, Luo Mingguang, guarantee with my personal integrity that I will definitely accomplish this!"

Fourth Master scoffed, "Your integrity counts for nothing in my eyes."

Luo Mingguang’s face showed embarrassment, and just then, the door was suddenly knocked. Luo Mingguang stood up to open it and saw the maid, who immediately informed him of Shen Binnan’s arrival.

Upon hearing this, Luo Mingguang was startled, then a thought struck him, and he turned to look at Fourth Master, assuming he had also heard the maid’s words.

Sure enough, Fourth Master stood up, and Luo Mingguang, puzzled, said, "Fourth Master, what is this about..."

Fourth Master’s mouth curled into a cold sneer, "I want to meet this Shen Binnan, and also that... Fang Yi."

...

Downstairs in the main hall, Fang Yi and Shen Binnan sat side by side.

Not long after, Luo Mingguang came downstairs, and naturally, Fourth Master was with him.

As soon as Luo Mingguang reached the bottom of the stairs, he greeted them with a benign and gentle smile, "Binnan, it’s been a long time. Come over and let your uncle have a good look at you. Have you grown more beautiful?"

Shen Binnan did not move.

Luo Mingguang immediately felt a bit embarrassed, but he was thick-skinned and recovered quickly, chuckling, "Maid, the tea’s gone cold, hurry and pour some water."

The maid quickly complied, pouring water into the tea cup in front of Shen Binnan.

As he stood beside Luo Mingguang, Fourth Master scanned Shen Binnan and Fang Yi, his gaze lingering briefly on Fang Yi, a trace of an undetectable chill flashing in his eyes.

Until Luo Mingguang sat down, Shen Binnan slowly stood up and greeted, "Hello, Uncle."

Luo Mingguang smiled broadly and urged Shen Binnan to sit down repeatedly.

At that moment, Luo Mingguang’s gaze shifted and glanced at Fang Yi, asking, "Binnan, the person by your side is..."

Shen Binnan said indifferently, "My bodyguard."

Luo Mingguang uttered a sound of realization and asked no further, smiling as he said, "Binnan, you should have informed me earlier about your visit to Southern Domain City, so I could prepare. Look at this mess, just wait a moment, I’ll immediately book a table to welcome and refresh you."

Shen Binnan shook her head, indifferent, "No need, I was just passing by, just came to see cousin Roger."

Luo Mingguang was startled and then showed a pleased expression, "Binnan, have you come around?"

Shen Binnan replied, "More or less."

Luo Mingguang was overjoyed, knowing all too well Shen Binnan’s icy demeanor. When planning his schemes, he anticipated obstacles from Shen Binnan but had not expected her agreement.

As long as his son married her, seizing control over Longtu Group would be doubly assured! Taking over Longtu Group would be a huge celebration for the Luo Family, and he, the Family Head, wouldn’t have to be so disgraced.

Immediately, Luo Mingguang’s face was full of genuine smiles, a stark contrast to his previously contrived and insincere grins.

However, the Fourteenth Master at his side frowned upon seeing Luo Mingguang’s behavior, suddenly regretting his partnership with Luo Mingguang.

Yet Luo Mingguang didn’t notice Fourteenth Master’s expression, quickly taking out his phone to call his son. After several attempts, all he got was a shutdown message.

"That damn boy, when he comes back I’ll give him a good beating!" Luo Mingguang cursed inwardly, though his face was still smiling, "Binnan, about that..."

Shen Binnan said, "Can’t contact him, huh? Seems he completely disregards me. Uncle, my patience is limited. Give it three days—if you can’t find Roger, then consider the marriage arrangement canceled."

After speaking, Shen Binnan and Fang Yi stood up, not waiting for Luo Mingguang to say more, and left together.

They arrived quickly and left just as fast.

At this, Luo Mingguang was infuriated, making several more calls to his son, to no avail, which left him extremely agitated.

"Luo Mingguang," just then, the Fourteenth Master spoke slowly.

"Fourteenth Master," Luo Mingguang responded impatiently.

"There is a problem," Fourteenth Master said with a furrowed brow.

Luo Mingguang looked puzzled, unsure of what Fourteenth Master meant.

Fourteenth Master explained slowly, "Don’t you find Shen Binnan’s behavior odd? She initially refused the marriage, but now she has changed her mind. Suddenly, your son has mysteriously disappeared. Don’t you think there is something fishy going on?"

Fourteenth Master’s words struck Luo Mingguang like a thunderclap, and he exclaimed, "Fourteenth Master, are you suggesting... My son has been kidnapped by Shen Binnan?"

Fourteenth Master nodded, "That’s a possibility, and I suspect Fang Yi is involved as well. If your son doesn’t show up, the marriage is naturally off, isn’t it?"

His son possibly being kidnapped sent Luo Mingguang into a rage, "Those two dare to kidnap my son, I’ll make them pay dearly!"

Not only Luo Mingguang, but Fourteenth Master also had a cold, fierce light flickering in his eyes, muttering to himself:

"Indeed, the man who broke my son’s legs, you vile wretch, I, Fang Jupeng, really underestimated you!"
