Chapter 199 The last bargaining chip
Fu Shiyue stood there, looking around, but he still couldn't see her. His brows furrowed tightly, as if they could trap a fly.
A flicker of anxiety flashed in his deep eyes, an emotion he rarely showed.
"Where did you lock her up?" Fu Shiyue's voice was deep and authoritative, carrying an undeniable sense of oppression.
His body leaned slightly forward, his tall frame exuding a chilling aura, as if he could completely devour the person in front of him if he took another step forward.
Looking at Fu Shiyue's expression, Lin Mo couldn't help but smile smugly. He made no attempt to hide his pride.
He said slowly, "Even at a time like this, Mr. Fu is still speaking so aggressively. If you're looking for someone, you should act like you're looking for someone..."
"You are really courting death!"
Fu Shiyue's eyes widened in anger, and he suddenly threw a punch, landing squarely on Lin Mo's face. Lin Mo staggered backward from the punch and fell to the ground.
He scrambled to his feet, wiped his mouth with his hand, and a sinister glint flashed in his eyes as he looked at the bloodstains on his hands.
He sneered and threatened, "Fu Shiyue, you better not kill me. If I die, you'll never know where Bai Wei is." Fu Shiyue froze, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
He suppressed his anger, staring coldly at Lin Mo, and said, word by word, "You'd better keep your word and tell me where she is right now." Lin Mo's lips curled up, his eyes defiant: "So eager to see her? Don't rush, let's talk slowly."
"If you agree to a few conditions, I will naturally tell you."
Fu Shiyue took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. He knew he couldn't act impulsively now; Bai Wei's safety was the most important thing. He stared intently at Lin Mo, waiting for him to state his so-called conditions.
Lin Mo crossed his arms, his face full of calculation: "My first condition is that the two companies under your name be transferred to mine."
Fu Shiyue's face was so dark it could drip water. These two companies were important parts of his business empire; Lin Mo's appetite was truly enormous. "Anything else?" his voice was icy. Lin Mo smiled smugly: "The second condition is that you publicly announce your withdrawal from the business competition and never oppose me again."
Fu Shiyue's clenched fist trembled slightly as he weighed his options; Bai Wei was incredibly important to him.
"The third condition is to hand over your Fu family's business plan. That's what I want most."
Fu Shiyue stared coldly at Lin Mo and said, word by word, "You think I'll obediently agree to these conditions you've set? Lin Mo, don't forget, you're also under my control now. If I want you to disappear, it'll be as easy as turning my hand."
Lin Mo's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his smug look: "Fu Shiyue, you wouldn't dare. As long as I have a breath left, Bai Wei still has a chance to live."
He eventually compromised; nothing in the Fu family mattered more than her.
“Okay, I can agree to your first two conditions, but I can also give you the plan. It is the core secret of the Fu family and concerns the livelihoods of countless people. You must take me to see her. I will hand over the person and the plan.”
Lin Mo's lips curled into a triumphant smile. "Alright, come with me."
Fu Shiyue followed closely behind Lin Mo, his eyes wary.
...
Finally, they arrived at an abandoned factory.
Lin Mo stopped and turned to look at Fu Shiyue. "She's inside." Fu Shiyue strode in and immediately saw Bai Wei tied to a chair.
Her hair was disheveled and her face was bruised, but a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes when she saw Fu Shiyue.
Fu Shiyue quickly walked to her side, untied the ropes, and hugged her tightly. "Don't be afraid, I'm here." Bai Wei nodded slightly, her eyes full of dependence. At this moment, Lin Mo reached out his hand, "The plan."
Fu Shiyue pulled the project proposal from his pocket and tossed it to Lin Mo. Lin Mo had just caught the proposal.
But at that moment, the factory door suddenly closed, someone locked it from the outside, and then Bai Yu came out from a corner and saw Fu Shiyue tightly protecting Bai Wei.
Bai Yu sneered, "Fu Shiyue, you think you can take her away just by handing over the plan? You're too naive." So, this was all Bai Yu's plan.
Everything that's happening now is part of his plan, including the fact that Lin Mo and Fu Shiyue were brought here today, which is the perfect opportunity to get rid of the two troublesome individuals.
Lin Mo looked at Bai Yu in disbelief, "Are you crazy? Are you planning to lock me up here too?"
Bai Yu laughed disdainfully: "Lin Mo, you're nothing but a pawn I'm using. This factory will explode soon, and none of you will leave here alive."
Fu Shiyue hugged Bai Wei tightly, his eyes resolute: "Bai Yu, you're insane! This is a crime!" Bai Yu laughed maniacally: "A crime? Fu Shiyue, you've blocked my path too many times. Today is your death day."
Lin Mo's eyes widened in fury as he charged forward, ready to fight Bai Yu to the death, but was stopped by Bai Yu's men. Fu Shiyue looked around, searching for a way to escape. He spotted a ventilation duct in a corner, which might allow him to escape with Bai Wei.
But Bai Yu seemed to have seen through his thoughts and had already ordered people to guard the pipe entrance.
As time ticked by, the countdown to the bomb grew clearer and clearer.
"Bai Yu, we're in the same boat. You want to kill me?"
Bai Yu sneered, "Lin Mo, you're nothing more than a tool I'm using to deal with Fu Shiyue. I can achieve my goal even without you."
"Bai Yu, you madman, let me out!" Lin Mo roared hoarsely, his voice echoing in the air, but Bai Yu seemed not to hear him and did not react at all.
His steps were steady yet slow, each step feeling like a blow to Lin Mo's heart, intensifying his fear. He stood before Lin Mo, his gaze fixed on him like that of someone looking at a toy.
"You actually laid a hand on my Weiwei and hurt her." He stretched out his hand and toyed with it. "You deserve to die."
Bai Yu instantly pulled out a gun, pointed it at his head, and bang! Lin Mo's eyes widened, and he slowly fell to the ground...
After dealing with him, Bai Yu walked up to Fu Shiyue and Bai Wei, then suddenly stopped and winked at the person next to him.
In an instant, several subordinates rushed forward like hungry tigers, forcefully pulling Fu Shiyue and Bai Wei apart.
Fu Shiyue tried to resist, but his strength was insignificant against these well-trained men. Soon, he was firmly restrained and unable to move.
Upon seeing this, Bai Yu's lips curled up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.
He pulled a gleaming dagger from his pocket; under the lamplight, the blade flashed with a chilling light.
Bai Yu, holding a short knife, approached Fu Shiyue step by step. His movements were elegant and composed, as if this were just an ordinary game. However, when he placed the short knife against Fu Shiyue's neck, everything became anything but simple.
With just a gentle press, the blade of the dagger sliced into Fu Shiyue's skin, and blood immediately gushed from the wound, slowly flowing down his neck. The bright red stood out starkly against his white shirt.
"Little sister, look how good I am to you. I took care of the people who bullied you. Look at your face, how did you get these bruises..."
Just as Bai Yu was about to make a move against Fu Shiyue, Bai Wei, who had been silent all along, suddenly shouted, "Brother, please don't..."
Hearing his words, Bai Wei knelt down helplessly, "Don't hurt him. Don't you want to be with me? I... I promise you, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Yu paused, his eyes filled with a kind of madness as he looked at Bai Wei: "Weiwei, I'm doing this all for you. As long as we get rid of him, we can be together."
Despairingly, Bai Wei shed tears, glanced at a knife lying beside her, quickly picked it up, and pressed it against her heart. "Since I am the culprit who caused all this, then I will end it all!"
Looking at her, Bai Yu's hand holding the knife trembled slightly, his eyes filled with a mixture of madness and pain. "Weiwei, no!" His voice was choked with sobs.
She plunged the knife into her chest, a sharp pain shooting through her as it plunged deep into her heart. Warm blood gushed out, the stench of blood filling the air.
Bai Wei's body slowly collapsed...
Fu Shiyue let out a desperate roar, struggling to break free of his restraints, and rushed to Bai Wei's side, holding her tightly in his arms. "No, Aran! You can't be hurt!"
His voice was choked with sobs, and his hands trembled as he covered her wound, trying to stop the gushing blood.
Bai Yu stood frozen in place, the knife in his hand clattering to the ground. His eyes were vacant, as if he had lost his soul, and he murmured to himself, "Weiwei, why did you do this..."
The countdown to the bombs grew increasingly rapid, each blast like a hammer blow to their hearts.
Fu Shiyue held Bai Wei in his arms, his eyes resolute. He decided that even if he died, he would die with her.
Bai Yu suddenly snapped out of his daze and frantically rushed towards the door, trying to open the locked door.
He shouted at the top of his lungs, but when he made the plan, everyone had already evacuated, and no one answered outside the door.
The countdown reached zero, the bomb exploded, and the massive impact engulfed the entire factory, sending flames soaring into the sky and dust billowing everywhere...
