Chapter 384: Chapter 384 You Shouldn’t Have Messed With My Wife

"Don’t be impulsive!"

Ning Mengyao, with a knife held to her throat.

Following Chu Tianyang’s instructions, she had stopped the car in a secluded place.

And in the van parked at a distance, Sun Erhu was also waiting for the final message.

"I’m not being impulsive, now call someone and have them bring me the money immediately."

Chu Tianyang gritted his teeth, his body trembling as well.

But Ning Mengyao was his last chance, he absolutely couldn’t give up.

"One billion, at this hour, where can you find so much cash? Even if you did, do you plan to carry around a truckload of cash everywhere you go?"

Ning Mengyao tried hard to suppress the panic in her heart.

His so-called calmness was actually a mess of turmoil.

"I don’t care... Just figure it out for me. If I don’t get one billion by dawn, we’ll both die!"

Chu Tianyang didn’t know what to do anymore.

The situation had escalated to this point.

He had no choice.

But just then, a figure suddenly appeared in front of the car, startling him into a shiver.

It was Lin Fan, who had just left midway.

"What’s the use of holding her? She’s the CEO; if you want the money, you need her to help you raise the funds."

Lin Fan said with a cold face, looking at Chu Tianyang sitting in the passenger seat.

At this moment, he could take his little life at any time.

But the knife held against Ning Mengyao’s neck was extremely sharp.

If he made a mistake, he could hurt her.

This was something Lin Fan absolutely couldn’t accept.

"You... how did you come... what are you doing here... get the hell out of here!"

Seeing the very lucid Lin Fan, Chu Tianyang screamed at the top of his lungs.

If it wasn’t for this guy, he wouldn’t have ended up in such an embarrassing situation.

"I’m here to solve your problem."

Lin Fan raised his hands and walked step by step to the driver’s side.

After glancing at Ning Mengyao’s composed face.

He looked at Chu Tianyang again, "You’ve also been around wealthy families, don’t you know that financial approvals and fund transfers must have the CEO’s signature and seal? By keeping her trapped here, you can’t move one billion, not even a single yuan, what’s the point?"

"Then... what can you do?"

Lin Fan’s words brought back some sense to Chu Tianyang.

He was right.

"I stay here as a hostage, and let her go back to raise funds for you. After all, I’m the second-largest shareholder. My life is worth more than one billion, isn’t it?"

Lin Fan said with a smile.

"No!"

Before Chu Tianyang could speak, Ning Mengyao had already objected.

She didn’t want Lin Fan to become a threat because of her.

"Right now, you’re not Mr. Ning, you can’t make this decision."

Lin Fan chuckled and shook his head.

Then, he extended his hands forward.

"If you’re afraid that I might resist, you can use your shoelaces to tie my hands. I recommend tying the thumbs so I won’t be able to move."

"Okay, that’s the way to do it. You tie him up!"

Chu Tianyang had imperceptibly started acting according to Lin Fan’s suggestion.

But he was clever.

The knife on Ning Mengyao’s neck still hadn’t loosened.

"Tie it from behind, and make it tight."

Lin Fan willingly turned his back and pressed his hands together.

Signaling Ning Mengyao to start.

As their eyes met, she saw confidence in Lin Fan’s eyes.

And with no other options in sight,

she tied Lin Fan’s thumbs together as instructed.

"Are you satisfied now? If you’re still worried, I can squat on the ground; as soon as you get out of the car, you’ll be able to catch me right away!"

Lin Fan moved from the front of the car to the passenger side.

Squatting with his back to the curb.

Though he couldn’t hear, his sharp sense of hearing allowed him to pick up any sound.

"Meng Yao, you’re truly formidable, finding someone willing to die for you. But I warn you, if you don’t bring one billion quickly, I guarantee he won’t see tomorrow’s sun."

Chu Tianyang’s left hand reached for the car door handle.

But just as he pushed the door to get out,

the black ball hidden in Lin Fan’s right hand was already crushed.

"Ah... what’s going on!"

In just an instant, Chu Tianyang felt his body suddenly unable to move.

He then collapsed to the ground.

"Yo, it really worked."

Lin Fan, who had gotten to his feet, turned around.

He looked at Chu Tianyang with great interest.

At this moment, his figure was beginning to unnaturally contort.

A faint black aura could be seen tightly binding him.

"What’s happening?"

Ning Mengyao hurriedly got out of the car and quickly approached Lin Fan’s side.

Her face was filled with horror as she looked at Chu Tianyang lying on the ground.

His body had begun to deform.

His limbs also started to twist.

Especially his face, deathly pale.

His mouth agape, yet not a single sound could be made.

"Perhaps it’s a disease, too much evil doing, even the heavens want to claim him."

Lin Fan watched Chu Tianyang, who was still struggling, with a smirk.

His bulging eyes were fixed on the two of them.

His wide-open mouth seemed to be pleading for help.

But the pressure on his chest had already caused his ribs to start fracturing.

He was not only unable to breathe.

He was also unable to utter a single word.

This was the way of killing by a shikigami.

It was like an invisible giant python.

Tightly constricting and squeezing him.

His completely twisted and deformed body soon became twisted like a pretzel.

Yet until his death, he could not say a single word.

"I’ll help you get these off!"

The scene before her was beyond comprehension.

But Ning Mengyao couldn’t care less about him right now.

Lin Fan’s hands were still tied behind his back.

"No need, such a trivial thing can’t trap me."

Unexpectedly, Lin Fan merely waved his hand.

The sturdy shoelaces instantly snapped.

His arms regained freedom.

"Why are you so foolish!"

Before she even finished speaking, Ning Mengyao’s teary eyes bore into him, her fists pounding on him as she looked down, sobbing uncontrollably.

"How am I foolish? The moment the call connected, I knew something was wrong, and I sneaked here to rescue you. How is that not smart?"

Lin Fan looked at Ning Mengyao, puzzled.

The reason he was able to get here so quickly

was because as he was driving to this place,

Ning Mengyao had secretly dialed his number with her cellphone.

And upon connecting, she deliberately spoke about related matters with Chu Tianyang.

It was then that Lin Fan realized Ning Mengyao had been kidnapped.

"I mean, how could you trade yourself for me? That’s so dangerous!"

Ning Mengyao, her face tear-streaked, looked at Lin Fan.

This guy really had no regard for his own life.

"If there’s anyone to blame, it’s that he shouldn’t have messed with my wife. A knife against me is better than against you, right?"

Lin Fan said in a relaxed tone.

"That’s so dangerous... Aren’t you afraid of dying?"

Ning Mengyao’s tears were half out of fear, half out of gratitude.

After all, a gesture to trade one’s life for another’s

was enough to move any woman.

"What does fear matter, when you’re my wife? Isn’t it my job as your husband to protect you?"

Lin Fan smiled and wiped the tears from her face.

But the next second, Ning Mengyao took the initiative to hold him tightly.

And on tiptoes, she pressed her lips hard against his.
