The moment Feng Lin arrived at the theater, Su Xianyu on the second floor spotted him.
For her, the floating comments above Feng Lin's head were simply too eye - catching.
【Alas, it's been so long and he still hasn't found her. I wonder how little Yu is doing now?】
【Yeah, last time they finally got through on the phone, but the call got disconnected before they could talk properly. When Feng Lin called back later, she didn't answer. I hope nothing bad has happened!】
【Well, little Yu must still be alive. After all, there'd be an announcement if an important side character died. But whether she's injured or not is hard to say.】
【At a time like this, Feng Lin still has the leisure to come to the theater to watch a show. I really don't understand what he's up to.】
【Watch a show? Look, his attention isn't on the stage at all. He's obviously here to look for someone.】
【Hey, look at the side profile of that woman on the second floor. Doesn't she look like little Yu?】
【It does look a bit like...】
Feng Lin couldn't find the familiar figure in the lobby. Just as he was about to get up and leave, he happened to look up and saw the side profile of a woman in a cheongsam in the second - floor box.
Little Yu!
He quickly walked up to the second floor, only to hear Raymond's shameless words!
Although he didn't know what accident had happened, if Little Yu was blind, was Raymond blind too? How could he just pretend to be someone else's husband!
Feng Lin reached into his coat and grasped the handle of his knife, ready to push the door open.
But through the crack of the box door, he saw Su Xianyu tap her index finger on the table three times, then curl her fingers and touch her temple.
Feng Lin's movements suddenly slowed down.
That was their “secret signal”. Little Yu was telling him to wait a bit.
It seemed that there was more to Little Yu's blindness. At least she wasn't really blind. Feng Lin followed her instructions and retreated into the dressing room next door, feeling slightly relieved.
Suddenly, there were cheers from downstairs. The play had reached its climax.
Su Xianyu was being led out by Raymond. When passing by the corridor, the corner of her skirt suddenly caught on the railing and she staggered.
Raymond quickly reached out to support her. Saying “useless thing” with no real anger in his tone, he even helped her straighten her clothes.
Touching the torn corner of her skirt, Su Xianyu suggested, “Is there a dressing room nearby? I'd like to change into another dress.”
“No need.” Raymond draped his coat over her. “No one will notice. Let's go straight back.”
Su Xianyu's voice sounded a bit lost. “Aren't we waiting for the end of the show? I still want to listen to the next performance of 'Butterfly Lovers'.”
“If you want to listen, I'll have the opera troupe come and perform at home for you.” Raymond's words left no room for negotiation. “I just received news that it's not safe at the dock. We should go back earlier.”
“... Oh, okay.”
When going downstairs, they passed by the dressing room next door. Raymond suddenly noticed that the door was slightly ajar. But he had clearly rented out the entire second floor of the theater before.
“Who's in there?” He frowned and instinctively reached for his waist.
Seeing this, Su Xianyu let out an “oops” and sprained her foot, falling straight into his arms.
Her hands “frantically” grabbed Raymond's arm and she threw herself on him.
Raymond let out a muffled grunt and his attention was immediately drawn. “Why are you so careless?”
“I don't want to be either.” Su Xianyu's eyes turned a bit red. “But I can't see, and you were distracted just now...”
Raymond pursed his lips and reluctantly said something to appease her. “I bought a sapphire necklace a while ago. I think it suits you...”
Only after the sound of footsteps faded away did Feng Lin slip out of the dressing room.
Not safe at the dock? Could it be another fight?
It seemed that by the time Chen Shui and the others arrived, he might be able to start from this aspect.
Feng Lin knew that he couldn't just take Little Yu away today by himself.
But at least he knew where Little Yu was and confirmed that she was safe for now. This trip wasn't in vain.
As for that Raymond, a cold glint flashed in Feng Lin's eyes. He wouldn't be complacent for long!
——
“I'm back! Have you been waiting long? I...”
When Chen Xue came back, she found that the apartment was unusually quiet. A sense of uneasiness flashed through her heart.
“Feng Lin? Feng Lin!”
He had really left...
After searching every room, Chen Xue slumped onto the bed.
Rolling over, she saw a note on the bedside table with a contact number written on it.
She quickly dialed the number, but unexpectedly, the person on the other end wasn't Feng Lin. Instead, it was someone who claimed to be Feng's special assistant, asking for her bank card number to transfer money as a reward.
But she really didn't save him for the money. Feng Lin must have misunderstood her intentions!
Chen Xue hung up the phone dejectedly without giving out her card number. However, she did learn the location of the Feng Group.
City A in Hua Country...
Although she hadn't known Feng Lin for long, it was the first time in her life that she had such strong feelings for someone.
Chen Xue always had a vague feeling that they were destined to be together.
Although she heard that he had a wife, that woman had abandoned him and fled at the scene of the fight, which showed that their relationship wasn't very good.
At this moment, Chen Xue had completely forgotten that someone had come looking for Feng Lin but she had refused them, and she hadn't given Feng Lin any means of contacting the outside world during his recovery.
She only felt that as Feng Lin left, that urge became even stronger.
She didn't want to give up so easily. She might as well be brave for once. Feng Lin would surely see her sincerity...
On the other hand, Steward Chen, who received the news, was also very efficient.
Based on the location provided by Feng Lin, he quickly contacted the Feng family's forces near Island B, gathered some domestic manpower, and rushed there in a hurry the next day.
Raymond had a strong local influence. The chance of a direct confrontation was really slim. But he had some business friction with another gang recently, which gave Feng Lin and the others an opportunity.
After initially finalizing the plan, they went to the dock, the hand - over location, when Raymond took Su Xianyu to do business.
The wind at the dock on Island B was mixed with a salty smell and kept blowing on Feng Lin and the others hiding behind the containers.
Scattered gunshots came from the direction of the fish market three kilometers away. That was Raymond fighting with another gang again.
Half an hour ago, he had sent an anonymous message saying that Raymond had embezzled 30% of the arms. Now the two sides were in a fierce fight.
“Master, Raymond's main forces are all pinned down at the fish market. There are only six guards left at the dock.” Chen Shui's voice came from the communicator. “Miss Su is locked in Warehouse No. 2. Raymond's deputy is standing at the door smoking.”
Hearing this, Feng Lin loaded his gun. “Okay, as planned. You take two people to deal with the guards. I'll go to the warehouse to pick her up.”
At this moment, Su Xianyu was sitting on a wooden box covered with sacks, nervously wringing the hem of her off - white long dress with her fingertips.
Raymond's deputy was leaning against the doorframe, a cigarette in his mouth. The barrel of his gun glinted coldly in the dim light.
“Doctor Feng?”
“... Do you know me?”
