Zhou Xuan ignored her question and said directly, "Sister-in-law, I know Yingying isn't here. But Grandpa, Yingying's grandfather, should be here. I'll talk to him for a few minutes!"
The woman snorted and said, "You'd better leave now. I told you last time not to come again. Yingying's grandfather won't see you!"
Zhou Xuan squinted at her and said, "Are there some things you can't decide? Quickly inform Yingying's grandfather that I'm not here to see Yingying, I'm here to see him!"
Before the woman could say anything more, a bodyguard walked out of the main gate. Zhou Xuan recognized him; he had seen this bodyguard the first time he came here to meet Fu Ying's grandfather, Fu Tianlai.
The bodyguard waved to the man with the prominent surname, then said to Zhou Xuan, "Mr. Fu invites Mr. Zhou inside!"
Zhou Xuan smiled faintly and followed the bodyguard inside to the living room where he had met Fu Tian last time.
It had been several months since I'd seen Fu Tianlai, and he looked even older now, his brows furrowed tightly. When he saw Zhou Xuan, his eyes turned cold, clearly indicating that he had never had a good impression of Zhou Xuan. After all, Zhou Xuan was the culprit who had abducted Fu Ying.
The atmosphere was somewhat tense. Zhou Xuan glanced at the bodyguard and his sister-in-law. He then said to Fu Tian, "Mr. Fu, there are some things I can only say to you!"
Fu Tianlai was very impatient. After a pause, he said, "Say what you have to say here, and then leave!"
Zhou Xuan said coldly, "Mr. Fu, I know you look down on me, but for Yingying's sake, I don't want to argue with you, and I'm not here to argue with you. Yingying went to Somalia for her parents, and she's in danger. I'm going to rescue her!"
Fu Tianlai, leaning on a red-lacquered cane, tapped it upon hearing Zhou Xuan's words. He shouted, "You're so arrogant! What makes you think you can spout such nonsense?"
However, Fu Tianlai was also surprised when Zhou Xuan suddenly told him that Fu Ying had gone to Somalia. But he was also very angry at Zhou Xuan's arrogance and said, "One of my bodyguards could easily beat you with one hand!"
Zhou Xuan said calmly, "Old Master Fu, I've traveled thousands of miles to New York twice. Even if it's just for a minute, shouldn't you give me one?"
Fu Tianlai grew increasingly angry, his eyebrows furrowing as he coldly stared at Zhou Xuan. Seeing Zhou Xuan staring back without fear, he couldn't help but chuckle coldly. Then he said to the bodyguard and the woman, "You two get out!"
After the two men left, Fu Tianlai said coldly, "You only have one minute. Speak!"
As soon as the bodyguard and sister-in-law left the living room, Zhou Xuan activated his icy energy, silently transforming Fu Tianlai's cane into gold.
Fu Tianlai just glared at him, completely ignoring the cane in his hand, and coldly said, "How many seconds do you have left? You're still not going to talk?" Suddenly, he realized his hand was empty and was stunned. Looking down at his hand, he realized the cane had disappeared without him noticing!
Fu Tianlai was only surprised that his cane had gone, never expecting it to be related to Zhou Xuan. He looked around, but there was no sign of the cane. After a moment of stunned silence, he suddenly remembered Zhou Xuan and looked up at him, saying, "A minute has passed, right? Is there anything else to say?"
Zhou Xuan waved his left hand and said calmly, "Old Master Fu, don't you think it's strange that your cane has disappeared?"
Fu Tianlai was stunned for a moment, then asked, "What? You put this cane here? Where did you put it?"
Zhou Xuan was here. At that moment, he didn't care about revealing his supernatural abilities anymore. He could imagine that if Fu Tianlai accepted him, then he would be Fu Tianlai's beloved grandson-in-law, and naturally he wouldn't reveal his secret!
Raising his left hand towards the tables and small coffee tables in the hall, he said again, "Grandpa, take a good look at these tables. Coffee tables!"
Fu Tianlai was confused. When he heard Zhou Xuan say this, he stared intently at the table in front of him. He saw a flash of golden light, and then it disappeared right in front of him!
While Fu Tianlai was still stunned, Zhou Xuan calmly said, "Old Fu, I think I can erase anything in this living room, including yourself, from this world. That should be enough to save Yingying and her parents, right?" For more chapters, please visit... Support the author and support genuine reading!
Volume One: The First Signs of Growth, Chapter 177: The Gap
…To be honest, Fu Tianlai didn't like Zhou Fu. But after some experience, he thought Zhou Xuan was quite good—down-to-earth, not fickle, and very caring towards Fu Ying, even risking his life to protect her. Fu Tianlai still firmly believed that Zhou Xuan was good.
Zhou Xuan is not a good match for Fu Ying. As the sole heir to Fu Ying's family's vast wealth, Fu Tianlai has very high standards, and Zhou Xuan falls far short of them in every aspect.
Because Fu Ying is a girl and doesn't like doing business, Fu Tianlai has to find a man with exceptional talent in business. In terms of education, ability, and family background, Fu Tianlai wants someone who is on par with the Fu family. He believes in the traditional Chinese concept of "marrying someone of equal social standing."
Over the years, Fu Ying has had many suitors, including some whom Fu Tianlai and Fu Ying's parents liked. However, Fu Ying herself was not satisfied. Fu Tianlai had spoiled Fu Ying too much since she was a child, so he did not force her if she did not agree and allowed her to choose the one she was satisfied with.
But if Fu Ying were to choose someone she was satisfied with, it would definitely not be someone like Zhou Xuan; that was Fu Tianlai's bottom line.
But Fu Ying was indeed spoiled by him. Ever since returning from the sinkhole, she had fallen head over heels in love with Zhou Xuan. After Fu Tianlai used some tricks to drive Zhou Xuan away, who knew that Fu Ying would dare to secretly run away to China to find Zhou Xuan? This made Fu Tianlai furious. He immediately sent people to investigate. After finding Zhou Xuan's hometown, they learned that his whole family had moved to Beijing. They found out that they had indeed found out in Beijing.
After learning that Fu Ying was safe and sound in Beijing, and hearing that she had not married Zhou Xuan, Fu Tianlai knew that forcing her would not work, so he ordered his men to continue monitoring her.
But then, an unexpected event occurred: the Fu family's overseas cargo route was hijacked by pirates in Somalia, and most importantly, Fu Ying's parents, Fu Tianlai's son Fu Ban and his wife Jiang Li, were also on this cargo ship.
The pirates probably didn't know Fu Meng's identity at first because of the language barrier. But later, the crew members who were also kidnapped, out of fear, revealed the secret. The pirates who kidnapped them then realized they had struck gold. After a few days of silence, they finally demanded a ransom of one billion US dollars.
In a moment of desperation, Fu Tianlai sent Fu Ying's cousin, Li Junjie, to Jujing to call Fu Ying back. When Fu Ying heard the news, she was terrified. She knew that if Zhou Xuan found out about this, she would die with him. Fu Ying knew that Zhou Xuan was willing to give up anything for her, including his life.
So Fu Ying immediately decided to leave a breakup text message. She thought to herself that if her parents could return safely this time, she would still come back to Zhou Xuan's side, but she would never let Zhou Xuan step into this dangerous situation.
Although Zhou Xuan has some peculiarities, Fu Ying knows that Zhou Xuan has never experienced the baptism of blood and fire on the battlefield. The ferocity of the Somali pirates can be compared to the most powerful terrorists in the world, while Zhou Xuan is just an ordinary person with ordinary skills. How could Fu Ying bring him into such a dangerous environment?
After Fu Ying and Li Junjie returned to New York, Fu Tianlai tried to seek help from the international community through his connections, but things like this are usually not so simple, as various countries are vying for power.
Li Junjie and his cousin Johnny invited twenty-six highly experienced retired special forces soldiers, most of whom had worked as international mercenaries and were very experienced. They split into two groups, with Johnny, a prominent figure in the Fu family's business world, publicly representing them in negotiations with the pirate contact.
Meanwhile, Fu Ying and Li Junjie secretly traveled to Somalia with a mercenary team, attempting to find an opportunity to rescue their parents.
However, Fu Tianlai started to panic at 4 pm yesterday because communication with Fu Ying's team was cut off and there has been no news since.
How could Fu Tianlai not be shocked? He hadn't even rescued his own son and daughter-in-law, and now his granddaughter and grandson had also been caught in the crossfire. What was he to do?
Just then, Zhou Xuan crashed into him again. Fu Tianlai originally wanted to teach Zhou Xuan a lesson, but Zhou Xuan's move just now stunned him!
Fu Tianlai lived in the United States, where he was exposed to the most advanced and strangest things and news. He heard about and saw a lot of things in movies and news, but in the end, he had never seen aliens, ghosts, or supernatural abilities that science could not explain. He always regarded these things as nonsense.
But what had Zhou Xuan just done? Although he didn't understand and was extremely shocked, Fu Yulai realized that Zhou Xuan was definitely not the ordinary person he had initially imagined!
Not only was he extraordinary, but he was the most peculiar person he had ever met!
After a long pause, Fu Tianlai came to his senses and quickly asked, "Zhou, Zhou Xuan, what exactly did you do?"
At this moment, Fu Tianlai's face no longer held the sarcasm he had shown at the beginning, nor did he worry about his son and granddaughter. All he was thinking about was Zhou Xuan's problem!
Zhou Xuan said calmly, "Grandpa Fu, I don't think it's necessary to say what I've done. All I want to tell you is that I will bring Yingying and her parents back!" Fu Tianlai's expression changed, and he pondered for a while before suddenly saying, "Alright, Zhou Xuan, just tell me what you need, and I will prepare it in the shortest possible time!"
Zhou Xuan thought for a moment and said, "I need a translator, and also, what method should we use to transport us to the waters off Somalia?"
