Chapter 204: Kidnapped!

After walking out of Boya Xuan, Xiao Yufan couldn’t help but release a long breath. Whether it was because he had agreed to Qing Yuanfeng’s request or not, he didn’t want Qing Luan to feel overly close to him…

“It seems that having too many women around isn’t necessarily a good thing…”

Xiao Yufan felt somewhat helpless. The hidden backers of Fengyun and Lingyun enterprises, two major corporations, had surfaced one after another in just a few days, and both were connected to the women in his life, which left him quite overwhelmed.

Even without thinking, Xiao Yufan knew that Qing Yuanfeng and Lan Tianyuan, both vice presidents of the same Beijing club, would definitely stand on the same side. In that case, the pressure on Huihuang would be far more complicated than he had initially imagined.

Xiao Yufan wasn’t arrogant enough to believe that Huihuang had the strength to confront both Fengyun and Lingyun head-on. Therefore, today he hadn’t shown too much strength—if the two companies joined forces, Huihuang would face enormous difficulties.

“Huihuang is merely a test, a trial for me to gain the Shitu family’s recognition. Therefore, this battle must be won, not lost!”

Muttering softly to himself, Xiao Yufan knew that his grandfather had handed him this chaotic mess of Huihuang simply as a way to test him. Earning the full recognition of the entire Shitu family was no simple task.

The flickering neon lights carried a hint of coldness. Xiao Yufan kept envisioning the development blueprint for Huihuang Enterprise. He was confident he could bring Huihuang to its peak within three years, but only if it didn’t collapse before it could even take off.

Shaking his head, a faint bitter smile crossed Xiao Yufan’s lips. Just as Huihuang had begun to show some signs of progress, it had encountered such a huge problem. If this was the case, wouldn’t he constantly be in a state of panic in the future?

Just as his thoughts were wandering, his phone suddenly rang urgently. Xiao Yufan furrowed his brows, his eyelid twitched violently, and a chill slowly crept up his spine…

“Boss, hurry back! Marilyn has been kidnapped!”

He hadn’t even had a chance to speak after answering the call when Yu Yihan’s slightly panicked voice came through. Xiao Yufan’s heart sank, and a cold, icy sensation began to seep from his body.

“Don’t leave the villa. I’ll be back in five minutes…”

“Hurry back! Sister Tianxuan has already gone after them, and I’m afraid something might happen to her too!”

Yu Yihan’s voice quivered slightly. Xiao Yufan slammed his foot hard on the accelerator. The Bugatti Veyron shot forward instantly, its speed pushed to the extreme. Xiao Yufan was filled with anxiety, wondering who dared to target the women close to him. Could it be Qing Yuanfeng using a strategy to lure him away?

Yet Xiao Yufan quickly dismissed this possibility. Although their interaction had been brief, he could sense that Qing Yuanfeng wasn’t the kind of underhanded person. But then, who else would dare to target his people?

The car sped like lightning. A twenty-minute drive was somehow compressed into just five minutes, clearly revealing Xiao Yufan’s anxiety. The unknown always brought fear, and Xiao Yufan was no exception.

When Xiao Yufan returned to the villa, he saw Yu Yihan anxiously waiting at the gate. Standing beside her were two members of the Tian team.

“My lord, we…”

Upon seeing the dark, ominous aura radiating from Xiao Yufan, the two members of the Tian team who had just arrived at the villa immediately lowered their proud heads. They were well aware of this man’s methods and feared that his wrath might spill over onto them.

“It’s not your fault. Tianxuan just temporarily assigned you here. From now on, your only responsibility is to protect Yu Yihan. As for everything else, leave it to me.”

After briefly glancing at the two men, Xiao Yufan turned his gaze to Yu Yihan. Seeing her flawless, jade-like face, he suddenly felt a pang of pain in his heart. This incident must have frightened her greatly.

Although his heart was filled with anxiety, Xiao Yufan hadn’t lost his composure. With no news from Tianxuan, all he could do for now was wait. Aimlessly searching would be pointless. For now, all he could do was wait until dawn…
