Fang Lan glanced at the photo. There was a young man smoking in the shadows.
The man’s facial features looked very handsome. His eyes were long and narrow, and his eyebrows were raised. There was an indescribable sharpness in his eyes.
Fang Lan was stunned and then overjoyed. “Why do you have a photo of him? Have you found him?”
Shen Hanyu put away his phone. “Qianqian found him for you.”
Fang Lan was surprised. “What do you mean by that?”
“He’s Qianqian’s childhood friend.”
Shen Hanyu’s slender fingers pressed the button on his phone and forwarded the photo and a message to Fang Lan. “She has listed down the city, address, phone number, and family relationship for you. What happens next is based on what you choose.”
“Oh my god, I didn’t expect to find him so easily.”
Fang Lan smiled brightly. “Tell Qianqian that when I return to the country, I’ll definitely thank her handsomely!”
She read the message and the photo several times, muttering, “So his name is Zhong Yao. That’s a nice name.”
Shen Hanyu looked at her infatuated expression and found it funny. He reminded her in a friendly manner, “Control yourself. Your saliva is about to drip onto the phone screen.”
“In the past, I restrained myself enough in front of you.”
Fang Lan glared at Shen Hanyu. “Now that I’ve finally met someone I like, can’t 1 just let myself go?”
Shen Hanyu was speechless. “Of course.”
“That’s more like it.”
She snorted and started the car happily. When she stepped on the accelerator, the car shot out like an arrow.
She was really happy that she could find this man named Zhong Yao.
It was said that one should not touch people who were too stunning when they were young. Fang Lan really learnt that the hard way.
She had once been impressed by Shen Hanyu’s ability and had developed feelings for him. He was her first love.
It was a pity that they had met too late. When she met Shen Hanyu, he already had Sang Qianqian in his heart.
Due to this, she had no choice but to control her emotions. She did not dare to say anything, and she could not say anything. She tried her best to move on, but she could not help but feel her emotions rise and fall again and again.
It was only after she witnessed Sang Qianqian and Shen Hanyu go through so much that she realized it was truly impossible for Shen Hanyu to be with her.
Therefore, after they made up, she told Sang Qianqian all about her feelings for him and completely cut off those thoughts afterward.
After confessing everything, she felt as if a huge stone had been lifted off her shoulders, and her body and mind relaxed a lot.
Not long ago, when she was sent to Europe by her second uncle, she had no choice but to leave the familiar capital and so many friends. She was reluctant to part with them, but she also felt relieved.
At that time, she thought that it would be good to change the environment and clear her mood.
Who knew that not long after she arrived there, she would get a chance encounter.
At that time, she was ordered to investigate something in a certain country, but she ended up encountering a robbery in a coffee shop.
For some unknown reason, a few masked robbers decided to rob a coffee shop.
Unexpectedly, the police arrived too quickly. They failed to escape and instead hijacked several customers and waiters in the coffee shop before retreating to the cafe’s operation room.
Other customers were forced to hide under the tables and chairs in the restaurant. Some bold customers tried to rush out of the door but were shot dead by the robbers.
The escapees were shot dead in front of everyone. The customers and waiters were terrified, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
In the operation room, a heart-wrenching cry suddenly sounded.
It seemed that an old man had a heart attack on the spot and was in critical condition. His wife cried and begged the robbers to let her out, saying that their bag was on a table and chair in the restaurant and that there was medicine in it, but the robbers refused.
The old woman cried miserably. The kidnapper was very impatient and fired a shot at the roof. The old woman was so scared that she immediately shut up. However, the suppressed and intermittent sobs were still faintly heard.
Fang Lan was originally in a corner of the restaurant, which was relatively safe.
Although she was skilled and bold, her identity was special. Moreover, the police had already arrived and were handling the matter. Fang Lan did not want to be in the limelight in a foreign country.
However, the old woman’s sobs were too sorrowful. After thinking for a few seconds, Fang Lan stood up and tried to negotiate with the robbers. She wanted to use herself to exchange for the old couple to come out of the operation room. As long as they could come out and get the medicine, there might be a chance of survival.
Perhaps it was because Fang Lan was a girl and looked so weak that she could not stand up to a gust of wind, and the old woman was unconscious and probably dead. Moreover, the old woman’s sobbing was really annoying, so the kidnappers actually agreed.
Just as she was about to enter the room, a young man suddenly stood up, took a few steps forward, and pulled her back.
He had a Chinese face and looked handsome, but the things he did were shocking.
He actually said to the robber, “This is my girlfriend. If she wants to go in, I’ll go in with her.”
Fang Lan was furious.
She dared to go in because she had the ability to deal with it. What was this person trying to do?
Just as she was secretly trying to shake him off, he actually pulled Fang Lan into his arms and said to the kidnapper, “Big Brother, I beg you, let us die together.”
Fang Lan was speechless.
What does he mean by that? Does this person even know what he’s saying?
Besides, who would want to die together with him? Who was he?
The robbers exchanged glances and agreed.
With one more hostage willing to come in, the kidnappers would have one more bargaining chip. Moreover, the two people in front of them did look like a young couple and did not pose any threat.
The kidnapper raised his gun and gestured for Fang Lan and the young man to enter. The old couple was quickly pushed out of the operation room.
Fang Lan and the man were being pointed at by a gun the whole time. She squatted down in the corner of the restaurant. She was angry and could not help but glare at the man.
The man was also looking down at her. He was extremely handsome and had dark eyebrows. There was a hint of a smile in his long and narrow eyes. He lowered his voice and said, “I’m sorry.”
When he communicated with the kidnappers previously, he used English to communicate, but this sentence was said in Chinese.
Seeing that they were all Chinese, she did not intend to bother with this person’s rashness.
Unexpectedly, while the robber was turning around, the man made an appreciative gesture and leaned closer. In a voice that only she could hear, he smiled and said, “Little girl, you’re a really bold person, aren’t you?”
The word ‘little girl’ made Fang Lan’s anger, which was about to subside, skyrocket. She glared at him.
Who was the little girl? Who the hell is he calling a little girl?
If it weren’t for the armed kidnappers around, she really wanted to show him what a ‘little girl’ like her was capable of!
When the man saw her like this, the smile in his eyes deepened.
He mouthed something, and Fang Lan understood his teasing word for word.
“Not only is this little girl bold, but you also have a bad temper.”
She suppressed her anger and mouthed back, “Just you wait!”
After saying that, she no longer looked at the man. Instead, she turned her head, studying the layout of the operation room and the positions of the kidnappers, waiting for the opportunity to make a move..
