I Want a Lifetime with You
Chapter 238

"Darling, I can see that you're jealous," Fu Chengyan said as he appeared to be in a good mood. "But, don't worry. Given that it's rare for me to see you jealous, I will resolve this matter to your satisfaction!" Just as he spoke, he noticed that he was being followed and couldn't recognize who it was. The car maintained a close distance no matter how fast he drove. Whoever they were, they were not worried about exposing their identity at all. Fu Chengyan accelerated his car, but the car behind him kept up.

He squinted as he could hear Shi Nuan's laughter. "May, don't follow me. You should turn into Wenjiang Street at the next junction."

"Why?" Shi Nuan started to worry when she heard Fu Chengyan's tone change all of a sudden. However, she had no idea what was going on. Shi Nuan looked in front and could no longer see Fu Chengyan's car anywhere.

"Yan, where are you? What's going on? Answer me!" Shi Nuan yelled, "Yan!"

"I'm fine. May, listen to me. Turn off at the next junction. When you reach Wenjiang Street, give Pei Jingxiu a call." Fu Chengyan ended the call immediately. He narrowed his eyes and looked behind him before flooring the accelerator. The car behind increased its speed to keep up.

Fu Chengyan considered his options before making a sharp turn into another street. He realized that his tail was an equally skillful driver when he saw him execute the same maneuver. Under normal circumstances, Fu Chengyan would have lost him by now.

Fu Chengyan furrowed his brows in frustration and gave Li Heng a call. "Li Heng, lock into my location now. I'm being followed by another car. Get Liang Lin to hack into all the security cameras nearby to see who is doing this!"

"Alright!" Li Heng replied as he put down his phone and turned on his computer. He also instructed Liang Lin to hack into the security cameras before sending Fu Chengyan all the data.

"Yan, who in K Nation have you offended?" Li Heng asked in a grave tone. "Isn't today Shengyuan's annual meeting? You..."

Fu Chengyan inquired as he raised an eyebrow, "Can you get someone here in time?"

"I'm afraid they won't make it!" Li Heng replied as he checked the GPS system on the computer and located the perpetrators. "There are three people in the car. Two males and one female. They are also armed. Can you handle them?"

"I don't have a choice now, do I? It will be too late by the time you arrive," Fu Chengyan replied coldly. "Help me replace a place nearby that's suitable."

"Make a turn five hundred meters in front of you and then turn right. You will enter a one-way street that leads to the highway. There, you will replace some ruins where you can set a trap." Li Heng paused for a moment before continuing, "What about Shi Nuan?"

"I asked her to seek out Pei Jingxiu." Fu Chengyan pursed his lips with a grave expression on this face. "I'll wait for you and Shaoqing if you guys can get there in time."

Fu Chengyan made a turn when he finished and drove according to the directions that Li Heng had given him. The male driver of the car behind was surprised. "Sir, this is not the way back to Wutong Residence."

"Keep following him."

"But what about the ambush that we have set along the way to there..."

"Enough! Just keep going!" The man sitting behind glared at the driver. "Fu Chengyan seems to be doing well so far, but nothing is going to save him today. He is doomed."

Li Heng had already hacked into the perpetrators' phones. He became increasingly concerned and asked, "Chengyan, where is Shi Nuan now?"

"Wen Jiang street. I'm not sure whether she will give Pei Jingxiu a call." Fu Chengyan's face darkened. "I didn't see anyone following her car when they were behind me, so she should be..."

"No, I've managed to replace out some information by hacking into their phones. They have placed an ambush on the way to your home. I'm sure that they know your habits well given how detailed their plan is. Your marriage..."

"Damn it. May!" Fu Chengyan said with haste, "Li Heng, get Shaoqing and Jingxiu to go and replace May!"

"Stay calm, Shaoqing is already on his way to you. I'll call Jingxiu again!"

As for Shi Nuan, she felt lost after Fu Chengyan ended their call. She wanted to call him back but couldn't get through. Shi Nuan started to panic when she realized that there was a car approaching her from behind. It didn't seem to be slowing down.

She slammed her foot on the accelerator and made a turn at the junction. After that, she immediately took out her phone and found Pei Jingxiu's number. "Pei, it's me, Shi Nuan."

"What is it?" Pei Jingxiu narrowed his eyes as he could hear Shi Nuan's voice trembling over the phone. He knew instantly that something was wrong. "Where's Chengyan?"

"Pei, Yan and I are being followed on our way home. Yan has driven off by himself and seemed to have a tail on him. I'm driving another car by myself. However, I'm also being followed, and Yan asked me to call you. Pei, what should I do now?"

The cigarette in Pei Jingxiu's hand was almost burnt out. He then stood up and grabbed his jacket as he walked out. "Stay calm. Where are you now?"

"Yan asked me to go to Wenjiang Street, and I'm on my way there now. Pei, what should I do now?"

"Wenjiang Street?" Pei Jingxiu closed his eyes for a brief moment before opening them immediately. "I have an idea. You should drive around Wenjiang Street when you get there. I'm coming right now. Stay on the line as I need to locate your position."

Just as he had finished speaking, Pei Jingxiu took out another phone before he felt a dark figure behind him. He stopped in his tracks. When he saw Ning Xi, he glared at her fiercely. "Go back!"

"Will you be fine alone? Do you need me to go?" Ning Xi asked. She knew Shi Nuan was in danger as she had overheard his call.

Ning Xi recalled how well Shi Nuan had treated her as if she was her own sister in recent months. She couldn't help but worry. "At least I can be of some help!"

"Go back, don't let me repeat myself!" Pei Jingxiu then said in a grave tone, "Keep me updated on Shi Nuan's location." He handed Ning Xi the phone before disappearing from her sight.

The car behind Shi Nuan kept following her closely without letting up. Shi Nuan didn't dare slow down as she kept the accelerator floored. They sped through the streets in the middle of the night.

She drove a few circles around Wenjiang Street when she arrived. But her tail seemed to have realized what she was doing. "It doesn't look good. She must be waiting for help. Increase your speed and ram into her."

"What if we hurt her? Aren't we supposed to take her alive?"

"It's fine as long as she's not dead."

As Shi Nuan saw the car behind closing the distance, she held onto the steering wheel as her body started to tense up. At the exact moment when she thought she would be hit, another car flew past her and rammed into the car behind her instead.

She could hear the car tires screeching loudly. The sound was extremely ear-piercing in the deserted street. But Shi Nuan continued to drive away. Only when she was certain that she was no longer being followed did she stop driving.

Shi Nuan turned around in shock. She could see that the car that was following her was badly damaged from the collision. On the other hand, the car that rammed it was unscathed and was still on top of its target.

Shi Nuan then saw someone getting out of the car. The man was wearing a black suit. He lifted his long legs and kicked the man who was trying to escape from the damaged car.

Shi Nuan couldn't see clearly what the man did. All she knew was the two men who came out of the damaged car were pinned to the ground.

Her eyes widened as she stared blankly at Pei Jingxiu. In her mind, she recalled Su Shaoqing's words from the other day. He said that even if Fu Chengyan and Li Heng combined their strength, they would stil be no match for Pei Jingxiu.

Yan asked me to get help from Pei Jingxiu, but what about yourself?

Shi Nuan hastily got out of her car and ran towards Pei Jingxiu. As she was still panting, she said, "Pei, I...they... Yan..."

Although her words were incoherent, her meaning was clear.

Pei Jingxiu glanced at the two men on the floor from the corner of his eye. They were so badly beaten that they couldn't move. He nodded. "Yan is more than capable of taking care of himself. Not many can hurt him, so you don't have to worry!"

Pei Jingxiu knelt down beside the men and glared at them with his long, narrow eyes. "Are you going to talk, or do I have to beat it out of you?"

"Do what you will, but you won't be getting anything out of me. Besides, the men going after Fu Chengyan are the top assassins from the Qin Clan. Do you think he would survive?"

"Is that so?" Pei Jingxiu raised his eyebrows as his gaze turned cold. He put his hands around the man's neck and gave it a twist. He then proceeded to the next man with a lethal smile on his face. "I don't think you know who I am. I'm never interested in anything worthless. What do you think?"

"I'll talk, I'll tell you whatever you want. Our employers are from the Z nation. They ordered us to kill Fu Chengyan and to take this woman alive. Though they didn't say what for."

"Very good!" Pei Jingxiu nodded. He then put his arms around the man's head and gave his neck a twist.

Shi Nuan watched dumbfounded throughout the entire scene. When she recovered her senses, she retreated a few steps and looked at Pei Jingxiu in horror.

Pei Jingxiu stood up and noticed Shi Nuan's pale face. He took out a handkerchief from his pocket with his slender fingers and wiped his hands as he looked up at her. "Were you shocked?" "Pei...those were human lives. How could you..." Shi Nuan realized that she was indeed in shock right now.

Pei Jingxiu smiled instead. "They're not citizens of our country and had likely smuggled themselves in. No one is going to care whether they live or die," Pei Jingxiu explained in an emotionless tone. "Besides, they wanted to kill both you and Chengyan, so I don't think they deserved to live!"
