The King of Urban Mercenaries
Chapter 247 - 247 247 Ambushed on the Way

247: Chapter 247 Ambushed on the Way 247: Chapter 247 Ambushed on the Way The night was like a pool of ink, and a silver BMW 7 Series sedan slowly drove into the Purple Garden Pavilion villa.

After the car stopped, the left-side door opened, and a delicate and charming figure emerged from within.

No one besides Mu Shanshan, who was known as Zhonghai’s business goddess for her exquisite beauty and graceful curves, could possess such perfect, alluring features.

Mu Shanshan looked as cold as ever, but if one looked closely through the bits of moonlight sprinkling down from the sky, one could detect strands of worry in those clear, moist eyes—apart from her usual coolness.

She was Mu Shanshan, the true head of the Mu Group, and the famed businesswoman of Zhonghai.

There should have been nothing to worry her, in theory.

Especially since not long ago, she had just invested three hundred million in Meishilin Catering Group, laying a solid foundation for the Mu Group’s venture into the catering industry.

In such circumstances, Mu Shanshan, who always put the Mu Group’s business first, should have had even less reason to worry.

However, Madam President of Mu was indeed worried and anxious.

Not because of the business that she always prioritized, but because of her cheap husband, Lin Fei, who often bullied her to her utter shame and embarrassment.

When she had left the small parking lot of Meishilin Restaurant, there were two people inside the silver BMW 7 Series sedan.

But upon returning to the Purple Garden Pavilion villa, only Madam President of Mu alighted from the car.

Simply put, her cheap husband, Lin Fei, did not return to the Purple Garden Pavilion villa with her.

That was the issue here, and it was because of this same cheap husband, who had not come home with her, that Mu Shanshan was so concerned.

Of course, this did not mean that Lin Fei had second thoughts halfway through, abandoning Madam President of Mu to seek the company of the stunning Shen Peini and indulge in a world made for two.

If that were the case, Mu Shanshan certainly would not have been worried or anxious for Lin Fei.

In fact, soon after Lin Fei alighted from the car, Madam President of Mu would have ran him over with her vehicle.

Even if it ended up with Madam President of Mu hitting Lin Fei to death, she would not have held the slightest hint of concern.

However, things were not as they seemed.

Although Lin Fei certainly wished he could go to the seductive Shen Pei’s coastal villa and roll in her sheets for a night, he clearly had not been brazen enough to disregard his CEO wife.

Lin Fei had no intention of getting out of the car and leaving Mu Shanshan to return home on her own, and after receiving Lin Fei’s personal savings, Madam President of Mu did not intend to throw him out of the car either.

Lin Fei was forced out of the car.

In short, Mu Shanshan and Lin Fei were kidnapped halfway through their drive.

Those who had intercepted them targeted only Lin Fei, which allowed Mu Shanshan to be released while Lin Fei was taken.

“These people are no ordinary thugs, they’re after me, you don’t need to stay.

Go home first and don’t worry, I will follow shortly.” That was the last and only sentence Lin Fei left Mu Shanshan before he alighted from the car.

After saying this, Lin Fei did not give Mu Shanshan the chance to insist that he stay, and promptly left with the group that had captured them, disappearing into the night.

Once Mu Shanshan had regained her composure, her first reaction was to call the police.

Unfortunately, despite having searched her purse and the BMW thoroughly, she failed to find her phone.

Mu Shanshan’s psychological resilience far exceeded that of ordinary people, or else she couldn’t have possibly taken charge of the massive Mu Group and led it to create one business miracle after another.

After calming down, President Mu quickly deciphered the key to the situation.

Mu Shanshan remembered clearly, her phone was in her purse when she left the parking lot of the Meishilin restaurant.

On her way, Mu Shanshan had not encountered anyone other than Lin Fei, so a mysterious disappearance was clearly impossible; the only possibility was that Lin Fei had taken her phone.

Her bargain husband had taken her phone, and the group that had hijacked them showed no intention of stopping her.

The situation was too bizarre for Mu Shanshan to figure out the key point at that moment.

There was one thing, however, that Mu Shanshan could clearly understand.

Lin Fei didn’t want her to call the police, but the people who had kidnapped her and Lin Fei were not afraid of her doing so!

Realizing this, Mu Shanshan didn’t foolishly stay put.

Instead, she suppressed the terror within her and drove back to the Purple Garden Pavilion as quickly as possible.

All the way home, Lin Fei’s words as he was getting out of the car echoed in her ears.

Images of Lin Fei subduing Ge Hui and intimidating a group of Mu Group directors and shareholder representatives inside the Moongaze Building also sporadically surfaced in her mind.

Even so, all this failed to put Mu Shanshan’s mind at ease.

On the contrary, it added to her worries in an intangible way.

Until today, the clearest and most definite feeling Mu Shanshan had harbored for Lin Fei was a mixture of shame and helplessness, accompanied by an inexplicable tenderness.

Beyond that, nothing else.

Mu Shanshan had always thought this way until she witnessed Lin Fei disappear from her view; then she had an epiphany.

She, President Mu, was not as indifferent to Lin Fei as she had imagined.

Somehow, Lin Fei, her bargain husband, had left an indelible mark in her heart.

Although the mark might still be a bit blurry, it was undeniably there.

Yet, she, President Mu, had never realized it.

Now, keenly aware of the emerging worry for Lin Fei, her bargain husband, deep within her, Mu Shanshan silently made a decision.

She would wait at the gate of the villa, wait to the death!

Until Lin Fei, her bargain husband, reappeared before her eyes.

If she could not wait for Lin Fei to return that night, then she would use all the power at her disposal to find Lin Fei.

For this, she was willing to stake the entire Mu Group.

This was the decision Mu Shanshan made after she became aware of her feelings for Lin Fei.

At this moment, Lin Fei, her bargain husband, weighed more in her heart as President Mu than the Mu Group.

…

Night, in a desolate suburb of Zhonghai.

“Gentlemen, inviting me out here in the dead of night couldn’t just be to appreciate the moon, could it?” Seeing the group that had kidnapped him standing under the moon without uttering a word for so long, Lin Fei, who had gotten out of the car halfway, took the initiative to speak, smoking a cigarette he had scavenged from his cheap brother-in-law Chen Di.

There was no helping it; you couldn’t blame Lin Fei for being impatient.

The people who had kidnapped him were just too good at holding back, not having uttered a word for so long, which left him, Lin Fei, quite helpless.

Who would willingly stand in the suburbs and admire the moon late at night?

Besides, with a CEO wife waiting at home, finishing up sooner to get back would mean worrying her less, wouldn’t it?
