Chapter 517 Fang Li is in trouble
He took a step forward, casting a shadow over Fang Li. "Xu Fang Li, you're the one who made me who I am today. Why am I now a pariah while you can still be glamorous as the daughter of the Xu family!"
"You brought this upon yourself, what does it have to do with me!"
Fang Li stared at him coldly, unwavering: "Song Yuchen, I told you long ago that someone like you, who will stop at nothing to drift with the tide, will one day be consumed by his own ambition. You are just reaping the consequences of your own actions!"
"Am I reaping what I sowed?"
Song Yuchen laughed, but the laugh was laced with a chilling hatred: "If you had told me from the beginning that you were the daughter of the Xu family, would I have needed to cling to those women? How could we have ended up like this? How could I, Song Yuchen, have become like this!"
Fang Li was speechless: "You're simply hopeless!"
"No! Who says I'm beyond redemption? Don't I still have you? As long as you come back to me, as long as you divorce Han Xi and marry me, I will be the Xu family's son-in-law, and I, Song Yuchen, will still have a chance to make a comeback!"
His words were like the tongue of a venomous snake, licking at Fang Li's nerves.
She forced herself to remain calm, reached under the sofa cushion for her phone, and quietly pressed the voice input button.
"Song Yuchen, you're dreaming!"
"Really? Then let's give it a try."
As he approached step by step, Fang Li warned, "Let me tell you, the Xu family's bodyguards are patrolling the corridor and will be here in five minutes at most."
She deliberately raised her voice, her eyes fixed on Song Yuchen, "If you know what's good for you, you can still leave now."
Song Yuchen grinned, revealing gleaming white teeth, as if he'd heard a joke. "Bodyguard?"
He sneered, his gaze sweeping towards the doorway with a mocking tone, "Do you think... they can still get in?"
At the end of the corridor, Sheng Qianrui, disheveled and clutching her skirt which was about to fall off, clung to two bodyguards, crying and begging for help.
"Someone is drunk and trying to assault me! Please, please help me!"
The bodyguard was quickly led by her to walk down the opposite corridor. Sheng Qianrui lagged behind, glanced back at the end of the corridor with a dark look in her eyes, and followed in her high heels.
In the lounge, perhaps he had thought of something.
Fang Li's heart sank suddenly, and an ominous premonition crept up her spine.
She gripped her phone tightly, pressed the voice button hard with her fingertip, and deliberately spoke loudly: "Song Yuchen, don't do anything reckless! This is Xu's territory. Although the VIP lounge is a bit far from the banquet hall, if you dare to touch me, someone will notice very soon, and the Xu family will not let you off!"
Fang Li's subtle change made Song Yuchen frown. As soon as she finished speaking, Song Yuchen seemed to have noticed something, and his eyes suddenly turned fierce.
He lunged at me, yelling, "What are you doing?!"
Fang Li was prepared; she dodged to the side and released her finger from the voice button.
The phone slid off the sofa cushion, its screen lit up, displaying that a voice message had been sent.
Seeing this, Song Yuchen frantically tried to snatch the phone from her hand, but Fang Li held on tightly, and the two began to wrestle on the sofa.
"Song Yuchen! The Xu family will be here soon! You can still leave now, don't let yourself end up with nowhere to go!"
"Don't you think it's too late to say all this now!"
Song Yuchen forcefully pried her hands away. "You, I'm determined to have you! Now, you are my only chance!"
"what!"
Fang Li felt a pain in her finger as he snatched her phone away.
Just then, Han Xi's phone suddenly vibrated in the mine's canteen.
It was a voice message sent by Fang Li.
He pressed play almost immediately, and Fang Li's cool voice, deliberately amplified with wariness, came through: "Song Yuchen, don't do anything rash! This is Xu's territory, although it's the VIP lounge..."
The voice stopped abruptly, followed by a notification sound indicating that the message had been retracted.
Han Xi's face instantly darkened like the night sky over the Mamba mining area, and his aura suddenly became fierce, as if ice was exploding in his eyes.
He suddenly stood up, slamming the chair to the ground with a thud, his phone creaking in his hand.
"Young Master?" Deputy Mine Manager Zhang and the others instantly changed their expressions, looking at him warily.
Han Xi ignored them, making a phone call as he strode out of the restaurant, his voice as cold as poison: "Jiangbei, prepare the helicopter, let's go now!"
"Yes!" Jiang Bei followed closely behind, not daring to hesitate in the slightest.
The call was answered the instant it was dialed, but was abruptly disconnected after only two rings.
When I called again, all I heard was a cold, mechanical voice: "The number you dialed is temporarily unavailable."
Han Xi stopped in his tracks, his knuckles turning white from the force.
He took a deep breath and dialed Xu Fangye's number, his voice trembling with barely suppressed emotion: "Fang Li is in trouble. She's in the VIP lounge at your annual meeting."
In the banquet hall, Xu Fangye was holding a wine glass and talking with his elders. Hearing this, he still had a gentle smile on his face, but his fingers suddenly stopped on the rim of the glass.
"I see."
His voice was calm and even. "Don't worry, I'll go take a look now."
After hanging up the phone, he winked at his assistant and whispered, "Keep an eye on the old man and don't let him notice anything amiss."
Turning and walking into the corridor, Xu Fangye's gentle expression vanished instantly, replaced by an icy chill.
"Call all the bodyguards and hotel security over here."
He spoke into the walkie-talkie in a deep voice, ordering, "Seal off all entrances and exits of the hotel, and conduct a thorough search of all rooms on the fourth floor!"
When Xu Fangye led his men into the lounge, the door was open.
The room was empty, except for a broken cell phone on the floor and messy wrinkles on the sofa, which proved that an argument had taken place.
"What about people?"
Xu Fangye's voice carried a barely perceptible anxiety as his gaze swept across every corner of the room.
"Mr. Xu, all entrances and exits of the hotel have been secured," the bodyguard captain reported.
Xu Fangye didn't say anything and walked straight to the monitoring room.
On the screen, shortly after Fang Li entered the lounge, a man wearing a baseball cap pushed open the door and entered. A few minutes later, he left alone, and no one else entered or left during that time.
But Fang Li seemed to have vanished into thin air.
"Zoom in on the image."
Xu Fangye pointed at the screen, "Investigate this man's identity."
Just then, Han Xi called again.
"Have you found anyone?"
The man's voice held a desperate urgency, "I'll do it now..."
"Don't come back."
Xu Fangye interrupted him, his voice as steady as a rock, "Mamba's matter is more important than anything else. Only by eliminating the Han family can Fang Li have true peace. I'm here, I will definitely find her."
"..."
"Han Xi, don't forget this is Xu family territory, and Fang Li is my sister."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by Han Xi's suppressed breathing, which finally culminated in a single sentence: "I'll come back as soon as I find her."
