Chapter 520 Madman!
His voice was as calm as a frozen lake, only the white knuckles of his tightly clenched fist betrayed the surging undercurrents beneath the ice.
His heart was pounding wildly in his chest, each beat causing his ribs to ache, and he could even clearly hear the roar of his blood rushing to his head.
Fang Li has been taken away for almost thirty minutes now, and I don't know how she is now.
"Xu Fangye!"
A hoarse yet extremely penetrating shout came from downstairs.
Xu Fangye turned around abruptly and saw the old man standing on the second-floor corridor, leaning on a dragon-headed cane. His silver hair gleamed coldly under the lamplight, and his usually gentle eyebrows were now furrowed into sharp icicles.
"grandfather."
Xu Fangye hurried downstairs, his leather shoes making a rapid echo on the marble steps.
The bodyguards stood in two rows against the wall, even their breathing was quiet.
Where is Guobao?
Grandpa Xu slammed his cane heavily on the ground, the mahogany tip striking the earth with a dull thud. "At the Xu family's annual party, my granddaughter disappeared right under my nose! How dare you hide it from me?"
He slammed his cane down again, the impact causing tiny cracks to appear in the marble floor. "Who gave you the guts!"
Xu Fangye lowered his eyelashes, his Adam's apple bobbing: "Grandpa, I was just afraid you would worry. I failed in my duty in this matter."
"dereliction of duty?"
The old man sneered, his gaze sweeping over the trembling crowd. "From this moment on, the annual meeting is suspended! All employees must immediately conduct a thorough search of each guest room, turning over every single room and every storage room! If anything happens to my Guobao at Xu's hotel, then I, Xu Qingrang, might as well die!"
His voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable authority, as if the entire hotel trembled at his words.
The crowd immediately sprang into action, the sounds of footsteps and walkie-talkies creating a tense atmosphere.
Xu Fangye followed the old man to the top floor. The feeling of weightlessness as the elevator ascended made the anger in his stomach churn.
As the elevator doors opened, revealing the empty rooftop corridor, he suddenly remembered something and grabbed the arm of his bodyguard: "Have you checked those abandoned warehouses on the rooftop?!"
Inside the warehouse, the pale light from the incandescent bulbs shone harshly on the cement floor.
Song Yuchen actually helped Fang Li untie the bindings on her hands.
Fang Li moved her wrists, the red marks from the rope burning painfully. She silently rubbed her ankles against the restraints with her heel, the rough texture of the hemp rope making her skin numb.
Song Yuchen sat in the chair opposite him, twirling a water bottle between his fingers, a confident smile playing on his lips: "Don't waste your energy, you can't untie this rope, you should take your medicine first."
Fang Li looked up at him, her gaze as cold as ice: "Song Yuchen, do you have to be so ruthless?"
"ruthless?"
Song Yuchen stood up and handed over the medicine and water bottle, the bottles clinking softly. "Say whatever you want, now, take your medicine."
Fang Li's gaze darkened slightly. She paused for a moment, then slowly took the water bottle from her hand. When she unscrewed the cap, she applied slight pressure with her fingertips, deforming the plastic of the bottle.
Her gaze swept quickly across the corner, where a mop handle stood askew, its metal tip gleaming coldly.
"Will you let me go if I take the medicine?"
She deliberately delayed, pouring the pills into her palm and using the act of looking at the pills to double-check the location of the mop.
"Eat first, then we'll talk."
Song Yuchen's patience was clearly wearing thin. "Once you've taken the medicine, everything will be fine."
Fang Li suddenly smiled, but there was no smile in her eyes: "Okay, I'll eat it. I hope you keep your word."
"You know me, all I want is you."
Song Yuchen stepped forward, his tall figure casting an oppressive shadow. "As long as you take this medicine, I will believe you are not pregnant, and we can be together again."
Fang Li sneered inwardly.
Without saying another word, she held the water bottle as if preparing to bring it to her lips, but the next moment she suddenly threw the pills in her palm at his face!
The white pills, like scattered stars, almost hit Song Yuchen's eyes.
While Song Yuchen instinctively closed his eyes to avoid the attack, Fang Li twisted her wrist and forcefully splashed the entire bottle of water onto his face!
"Well!"
Song Yuchen subconsciously closed his eyes and turned his head away. Fang Li took advantage of this opening and, along with the chair behind her, suddenly lunged at the mop handle!
The chair fell over with a piercing sound, and Fang Li's elbow slammed hard against the cement floor, the excruciating pain causing her vision to go black.
But she didn't have time to cry out in pain; her fingertips had already touched the cold mop handle!
Just as she grabbed the pole and turned around, Song Yuchen wiped the water off his face and pounced on her with bloodshot eyes: "Xu Fangli!"
"boom!"
The mop handle slammed solidly onto Song Yuchen's shoulder. He grunted and reached back to snatch the handle away.
Fang Li held on tightly, and the two of them struggled in the narrow space, the mop handle creaking under the strain.
However, the disadvantage of having her legs bound quickly became apparent. Song Yuchen kicked Fang Li in the knee, and Fang Li cried out in pain as her 'weapon' was instantly taken away.
"Bitch!"
Enraged, Song Yuchen threw the mop aside, bent down, grabbed her hair, and forced her to tilt her head back.
He pulled out two more pills, grabbed her chin, and shoved them into her mouth. "You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences!"
"Let me go! Song Yuchen, you're insane!"
Fang Li shook her head desperately, biting her lower lip hard with her teeth, the taste of blood filling her mouth.
Her cheeks were pinched out of shape, the force of the knuckles almost crushing her bones, and bluish-purple marks quickly spread across her skin.
"madman?"
Song Yuchen chuckled, his eyes filled with a twisted and crazed intensity. "I went mad because of you! If you hadn't married Han Xi and targeted me time and time again, how could I have become like this?!"
With his other hand, he forcefully pried open her jaw, and the pill was already pressed between her teeth!
Fang Li struggled desperately, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.
Just as the pill was about to be put into his mouth...
"boom!"
The iron door of the warehouse was kicked open, and the loud noise made the walls tremble.
Xu Fangye stormed in with his men. When he saw Song Yuchen restraining Fang Li, his eyes turned bloodshot, and he roared, "Song Yuchen! You fucking let her go!"
Song Yuchen turned around abruptly, his face still wet with water, his eyes filled with astonishment.
Fang Li looked at Xu Fangye's anxious figure in the backlight, her tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and tears welled up in her eyes, but they were also filled with the relief of surviving a disaster.
"elder brother!"
"Guobao, don't be afraid!"
A look of panic flashed across Song Yuchen's eyes. He immediately grabbed Fang Li by the neck and dragged her up from the ground, backing away.
He had somehow produced a sharp dagger and pressed it fiercely against Fang Li's neck.
"Don't come any closer!"
