  Bai Xiaonian turned her head and snickered. “I’ll go back and educate my dad to let him know… that it’s wrong of him not to take his medication properly!”


  By the time Lin Nuan left the hospital, it was nearly two in the afternoon.

  You Nainai had originally intended to send Lin Nuan back directly to rest, but the latter had insisted on going to the shooting range.

  Since she was planning to learn, Lin Nuan wanted to start as soon as possible.

  “I hurt my left arm, not my hand or right arm…” Lin Nuan sat in the car. “We had better go to the shooting range. Even if I can’t use a gun, it’ll be good to give me some theoretical knowledge.”


  You Nainai took Lin Nuan to the shooting range they had arranged to go to previously, then began teaching Lin Nuan about the structure of a gun.

  Since Lin Nuan had nearly zero knowledge in this aspect, You Nainai spoke very slowly and showed Lin Nuan how to disassemble and assemble a gun.

  Lin Nuan was perceptive. Although she was injured and was slow when assembling a gun, after seeing You Nainai demonstrate it twice, she could already do it herself.

  “Not bad. You’re terrific!”


  Hearing You Nainai’s praise, Lin Nuan wiped her sweat with the back of her hand and smiled. “Hopefully, I won’t have returned all of this knowledge to you by tomorrow!”


  “It’s okay, that’s only normal!” You Nainai assembled the gun once more. “You’re so many times better compared to how I was the first time I touched a gun!”


  After returning the guns, when You Nainai and Lin Nuan left the shooting range, You Nainai said, “If Sir Fu were willing to teach you, you’d surely be able to learn even faster!”


  …


  On the private plane.

  On the table in front of Fu Huai’an, blueprints were scattered about. He rolled up his sleeves and pressed his large hand upon a design. He bent over, his peach-colored firm arm supporting his body. While holding a pen, he explained the entry and exit routes in detail to Qin Zhe.

  Piercing sunlight shone into the room through the glass windows, outlining Fu Huai’an’s slim and firm figure, as well as his well-defined and mature side profile.

  “There are weapons you’ll find useful at the Jebel Ali Port!” Fu Huai’an took a phone from Little Lu’s hands and handed it to Qin Zhe. “The cargo crate numbers are inside the phone! The blueprints and those few people’s schedules are inside as well!”


  Qin Zhe took the phone and gripped it in his hands.

  “I’ve taught you how to make it look like an accident. Don’t leave any traces or evidence. You’re carrying out personal revenge, so if you get caught, even if you get away after, it’ll be very troublesome for you in the future! In four days’ time, after this ends, I’ll take you back to our country!”


  With one hand in his pocket, Fu Huai’an casually tossed the pen onto the blueprints. He then slipped his other hand into his pocket as well. His deep-set brows were tightly furrowed. From his deep voice to his every gesture, he exuded a strong and imposing aura.

  “Other than these things, I’m unable to offer you any help. Once we reach Dubai… you’ve got to depend on yourself!” Fu Huai’an gazed at Qin Zhe with calm eyes. “Regardless of whether you fail or get captured, even if you lose your life… I won’t help you this time. Understand?”


  Qin Zhe nodded and smiled at Fu Huai’an, then raised the phone in his hand. “Boss, I’m already very grateful for all that you’ve done! I don’t hope to be able to survive. Regardless of the outcome, I won’t come and seek you again! So Boss, in the future, let’s just live our lives separately!”


  The hands in Fu Huai’an’s pockets slowly clenched. However, the calmness in his eyes made it impossible for anyone to detect a single hint of emotion.

  “Chairman, you’re 4km away from your target location…” Little Lu said to Fu Huai’an.

  Fu Huai’an nodded, then gazed at Qin Zhe. “Get prepared!”


  Little Lu took Qin Zhe to put on his parachute. Qin Zhe kept gazing towards the door as he asked Little Lu, who was helping him put on the parachute. “Where’s Boss?”


  “Chairman has already gone to rest!” Little Lu answered, not looking up.

  Qin Zhe nodded and remained standing there while Little Lu helped him adjust his oxygen tank and mask.

  He was about to jump with a parachute from more than 10,000 meters up, and the oxygen tank could help ensure that he wouldn’t pass out from a lack of oxygen.

  Little Lu took Qin Zhe to a little room within the cabin and asked him to enter a small cubicle that was only wide enough for one person to enter.

  Little Lu told Qin Zhe, “After you enter, I’ll decrease the pressure. In five seconds, the bottom door will be opened.”


  Qin Zhe nodded. He took a deep breath to adjust his state before entering the cubicle.

  Just as Little Lu was about to close the alloy door, Qin Zhe blocked it with a hand and took away his mask. He said to Little Lu as he gazed at him, “I’ve forgotten to thank Boss. Help me thank him!”


  “Okay! Don’t worry…” Little Lu wore a smile that was polite yet distant.

  Qin Zhe nodded, put on the mask again, then released the door. He stood in the little cubicle with his arms hugged to his chest as he silently counted down…


  Those five seconds passed extra slowly for Qin Zhe.

  This was a difficult decision for Qin Zhe. He was never a hero like Fu Huai’an, who had the courage to take on many enemies all by himself.

  After jumping off the plane, Qin Zhe would truly be doing a one-man battle with no team or comrades! All by himself!

  Qin Zhe closed his eyes, his mind filled with those deceased comrades, their smiling faces flashing before his eyes one by one…


  As he silently counted to five, Qin Zhe felt his body descend. After having his body turned over, he speedily regained control.

  The sunshine drenched the clouds in a shade of gold, making Qin Zhe feel as sacred as if he was in paradise.

  This was the first time he was battling by himself!

  Qin Zhe flipped over with control and looked at Fu Huai’an’s plane, which was getting further and further away. He suddenly felt an absolute strength in the depths of his heart in that instant.

  There was determination in his eyes as he placed his hands by his sides and charged downwards through the layers of clouds, towards the place where he was prepared to shed his blood and lay down his life.

  Fu Huai’an stood before the wine cabinet, holding a crystal cup in his hands that contained a liquid that scorched one’s throat. Fu Huai’an didn’t turn around, merely turning his head sideways and asking, “Qin Zhe has left?”


  Little Lu nodded. “He’s left! According to your instructions, I’ve placed a GPS on him.”


  Fu Huai’an nodded, his gaze growing deeper.

  …


  Back at the Fu residence, Lin Nuan briskly walked on a speed and slope incline according to You Nainai’s instructions, yet having showered when she received Fu Huai’an’s call to assure her that he was safe.

  “I’ve already gotten off the plane, and I’m on my way to the hotel…”


  “Be careful and come back earlier!” Lin Nuan sat on some gym equipment by the side and reminded Fu Huai’an to take note of his own safety.

  “The show that Xing Feng asked you to help with, how’s the discussion with Fang Yan and Miss Xia coming along?” Fu Huai’an leaned against the genuine leather seat in the car and spoke to Lin Nuan with his eyes closed.

  “We’re already done discussing it. In the first episode, since Wang Mang is retired military, we’ll start with his little shop.” Lin Nuan wiped away the sweat on her neck with a towel. “I’m going to the Lin family to pick up Mom. If everything goes well, I plan to send Mom back to the villa with Lin Ran…”


  Mid-sentence, Lin Nuan suddenly felt nauseous. She used a towel to cover her mouth.

  You Nainai hurriedly reached out to pat Lin Nuan on the back. “Are you okay?”
