  Su Manman had just left her suite, had her head lowered, and was heading for the elevator when she saw someone coming over quickly out of the corner of her eye. She raised her head and looked over.

  She saw that Fu Huai’an was emitting a spine-chilling coldness and that his eyes were releasing killing intent.

  Su Manman was stunned for a moment, and she subconsciously locked her phone screen. She asked, “What happened?”


  Fu Huai’an walked past Su Manman, ignoring her but sweeping his sharp gaze over her, causing her head to turn numb.

  Su Manman then looked toward Lu Jinnan, who was next to Fu Huai’an. Lu Jinnan also looked very gloomy as he headed to the elevator together with Fu Huai’an.

  By the time Su Manman realized that she had seen a gun attached to Fu Huai’an’s back and went chasing after him, both Fu Huai’an and Lu Jinnan had already taken the elevator down.

  Su Manman’s instincts told her that something had happened!

  She pressed the elevator button crazily and immediately headed down the moment the doors opened…


  …


  As Bai Xiaonian saw Fu Huai’an and Lu Jinnan coming out, the six people who had driven three speedboats there immediately headed in Fu Huai’an’s direction…


  Bai Xiaonian was so nervous that she almost sat up from her wheelchair. She was about to gasp when the few of them respectfully greeted Fu Huai’an, “Sir…”


  Earlier on, Bai Xiaonian had suddenly seen six to seven people dashing out from nowhere. There were also a few people in the surroundings with agile movements who looked like extremely ordinary tourists. They were around her and made her hair stand up.

  Bai Xiaonian even saw someone draw a gun. She had lived in a peaceful world during amiable times, so this was a great shock…


  She sat there, body stiffened. Even though the battle ended very quickly and those people had been brought away, Bai Xiaonian still felt very frightened.

  With people around them having guns, it meant that they were constantly exposed to danger.

  Seeing that these people had left extremely quickly, Bai Xiaonian, as well as many other tourists, were shocked.

  Bai Xiaonian tried to be positive, guessing that they could be the Italian police since they were capturing people so openly.

  Seeing Fu Huai’an nod to the few who addressed him as Sir, Bai Xiaonian felt even more at a loss. Fu Huai’an’s disposition appeared as cold as a blade, so unfamiliar that it made her heart tremble.

  While heading downstairs, Fu Huai’an had already ascertained the rough location from You Nainai. He concluded that the person who had captured Lin Nuan should be taking her to the airport.

  Lu Jinnan came down the stairs and looked at the shocked and anxious Bai Xiaonian. He squatted down beside her and said seriously, “Wait in the hotel. Don’t go running off!”


  Bai Xiaonian returned to her senses and knew that this wasn’t the time for her to ask questions. She nodded forcefully, holding back the anxiety in her heart and saying to Lu Jinnan, “You must save Nuan Nuan! You must!”


  Bai Xiaonian’s eyes turned red, and tears almost barged out.

  Seeing that Fu Huai’an had already gotten onto the speedboat, Lu Jinnan didn’t waste any time. He left someone to accompany Bai Xiaonian and then took the trunk and got onto the speedboat, turning to take a long look at Bai Xiaonian, not feeling at ease.

  In order to let Lu Jinnan be at ease, Bai Xiaonian forced a smile on her small, pale face. However, her expression looked worse than it would if she were crying.

  Lu Jinnan also smiled as the speedboat was started up and darted out. Bai Xiaonian’s figure outside the hotel became increasingly smaller…


  Su Manman dashed out of the hotel and immediately saw Bai Xiaonian, who was seated in her wheelchair!

  Knowing that Bai Xiaonian was Lin Nuan’s good friend, Su Manman grabbed the armrest of Bai Xiaonian’s wheelchair and asked, “What happened? Where’s Lin Nuan?”


  Bai Xiaonian had heard Lin Nuan mention before that Su Manman was Fu Huai’an’s younger sister and thus didn’t hide anything from her. “Nuan Nuan has been captured by someone!”


  “Captured? Lin Nuan?” Su Manman’s face was that of disbelief.

  A kidnapping?

  For money?

  They had kidnapped Lin Nuan because they knew that Lin Nuan was Fu Huai’an’s wife?

  Bai Xiaonian nodded.

  Su Manman straightened her posture and sported a grim countenance. It was no wonder Fu Huai’an looked as if he was going to kill someone.

  Su Manman was of no help in such matters…


  Su Manman felt that it wouldn’t be of much help even if Fu Huai’an were to give chase personally. After all, they weren’t in their country and would be restrained in everything they did.

  What could they do? Call the police?

  Su Manman took out her phone and was just about to call the police when Shi Hanchu’s name suddenly flashed in her mind!

  She recalled that Shi Hanchu previously said that he had lived in Venice for three years!

  She wondered if Shi Hanchu knew of anyone in the underworld here that could be of help. Su Manman was afraid that calling the police could expose Lin Nuan to danger!

  Su Manman didn’t dare think too much and quickly ran upstairs again.

  She had Shi Hanchu’s room key with her, which she had gotten from the Assistant Director when they were shooting the other day. Even though the idea of using it had struck her, she hadn’t dared to do so.

  However, the situation was urgent right now. Shi Hanchu didn’t open the door when Su Manman rang the doorbell, but she couldn’t care less, quickly swiping the room key to enter.

  Shi Hanchu had just come out of the shower and had a big white bath towel wrapped around his waist, with another towel hanging around his neck. He was holding a bottle of mineral water and drinking it with his head raised. His muscular pecs, abdomen, long legs… and tanned skin were covered with water droplets, and his long black hair was messy and dripping.

  No matter how one saw it, it was a masculine allure. However, Su Manman was in no mood to enjoy it.

  Shi Hanchu heard the door opening and turned to look in that direction.

  Su Manman pushed the door and entered, and while Shi Hanchu frowned, he didn’t feel any aversion. He slowly twisted the bottle cap closed and said, “Su Manman, you really poke into every nook and cranny!”


  “Shi Hanchu, do you know anyone from the underworld in Venice?” Su Manman anxiously walked toward Shi Hanchu and asked.

  Shi Hanchu put down the glass bottle in his hand and used the towel that was hung around his neck to wipe his hair. He asked nonchalantly, “You got into trouble?”


  “Lin Nuan was captured by someone! It’s fine if it was a kidnapping attempt, but I’m afraid that it might be for something else!” There was genuine worry in Su Manman’s eyes as she stood in front of Shi Hanchu, her voice a little hoarse. “My brother has given chase! If you know anyone from the underworld… Can… can you help?”


  Su Manman thought of the gun that Fu Huai’an had on him and felt a chill run down her spine for some reason. She was incredibly worried, and her countenance was extremely pale.

  She was afraid that this might not be an ordinary kidnapping attempt and that there might be reasons that she couldn’t think of!

  Lin Nuan was captured?

  Shi Hanchu’s eyes narrowed, and the scene of Li Muyang talking about Lin Nuan the other day popped up in his mind.

  The hand Shi Hanchu was using to dry his hair tightened its grip. He looked at the worried Su Manman and said slowly, “Su Manman! What kind of person do you think I am? I might have lived in Venice before, but why would I know anyone from the underworld?”


  “Is there anyone you know who might?” Su Manman grabbed Shi Hanchu’s still wet arm.

  Su Manman didn’t dare tell Shi Hanchu that Fu Huai’an was armed with a gun.

  It was true that she liked Shi Hanchu, but when Fu Huai’an was concerned, Su Manman couldn’t speak recklessly.

  Shi Hanchu could tell from Su Manman’s pale face that she was distraught, and his masseter muscle tightened…
