Chapter 1053: Chapter 1053: The Bizarre Youth
The Tulip Family’s residence was located here, within this restricted area, where a vast manor was constructed featuring buildings that emanated nobility, grandeur, and majesty. The estate was replete with various entertainment facilities, all styled with extravagant luxury yet dignified.
The entire Tulip Family estate covered thousands of acres, the construction of which cost several billion US dollars.
This manor was exclusively inhabited by the direct members of the Tulip Family; other branches were spread across the country, enhancing the family’s industries and power.
In a conference hall within the manor, the Family Head, Elliot, sat at the head of the table, his face grim, his eyes flashing with icy anger. On either side sat the high-ranking members of the Tulip Family, who were all engaged in heated discussions.
"Family Head, what should we do now? If Miss Ai Fei isn’t found, when More becomes angry, we’ll face trouble,"
one of the Tulip Family’s top leaders said to Elliot.
"Immediately notify everyone, mobilize all of the Tulip Family’s strength for a city-wide search for Ai Fei, and have all exits from Los Angeles manned. As soon as there’s any sighting of Ai Fei, report it immediately. No matter what, I want Ai Fei found!"
Allock commanded with an icy tone, his eyes flashing with cold fury, then he added, "And that man who injured my Tulip Family’s member, find him and bring him back too. I want to see how bold someone is to challenge the Tulip Family in Los Angeles!"
"Yes, Family Head!"
All the high-ranking members present nodded in agreement.
In another part of Los Angeles, inside a luxurious and lavish room, a young man wearing a black trench coat sat there, his skin pale as snow, his lips a vivid red, possessing an eerily attractive beauty, his gaze sinister, giving off an intense feeling of unease as he gently swirled a glass of red wine in his hand.
Just then, a man in a suit walked in swiftly. Bowing to the young man, he reported, "Young Master, we just received news that Miss Ai Fei was rescued by a man from Huaxia; her current whereabouts are unknown!"
"Oh, a man from Huaxia, interesting!"
The young man in the trench coat smiled faintly, then said,
"Mobilize all our forces to find them. A woman More desires cannot end up with another man. Find Ai Fei, and use the most brutal method to kill that man!"
"Yes, Young Master!"
The man in the suit nodded and swiftly exited the room.
"Ai Fei, I can hardly wait to savor your body,"
the young man’s eyes shimmered with malice, his crimson tongue licking his lips, sending shivers down the spine.
In a secluded location arranged by the security bureau in Los Angeles, Ye Luo was anxiously waiting, Ai Fei standing beside him.
"Are you sure you can find him within two hours?"
Ye Luo asked, looking at Ai Fei with an anxious expression.
"Don’t worry, as long as he hasn’t left Los Angeles, I’ll know his whereabouts within two hours. But seeing how anxious you are for your woman’s safety, I’m somewhat envious of her,"
Ai Fei said nonchalantly, a hint of complexity flashing in her eyes.
"By the way, Miss Ai Fei, you are a lady of the Tulip Family, so why were you being chased and attacked by your own family members?"
Ye Luo asked, his gaze filled with curiosity.
"Because my father is forcing me to marry a man I dislike, and that man is extremely perverted towards women. Marrying him would only lead to a terribly tragic death,"
Ai Fei said somberly.
"Why would your father do such a thing?"
"Because the man I am to marry has a powerful backing, and my father wants to use his power to enhance the Tulip Family’s strength,"
"Most importantly, I am not the child of his first wife but someone born from his affair with an ordinary woman, so I have no real status within the Tulip Family."
"In his eyes, I am just a tool for gaining benefits; he doesn’t care about my life or death,"
Ai Fei’s eyes shimmered with intense hatred, her expression turning dark.
"You really are a ruthless father."
Ye Luo exclaimed.
"But this time you saved me, the Tulip Family will definitely mobilize all their forces to look for me, and by then, you might be in danger too."
Ai Fei said, looking at Ye Luo.
"Don’t worry, since I’ve saved you, I won’t worry about the dangers. As long as I’m here, nothing will happen to you."
Ye Luo shook his head nonchalantly, with an indifferent expression on his face.
Time passed second by second, the sunset fell, and soon night arrived. In a villa in Los Angeles, Robert walked in, dressed in a brand new suit, his face looking strikingly handsome.
At that moment, a beautiful silhouette slowly descended from the staircase, it was Shi Yanran.
Shi Yanran was wearing a white off-the-shoulder gown, her hair flowing beautifully, with delicate makeup on her face, making her look radiant and stunningly gorgeous.
Seeing Shi Yanran at that moment, Robert’s eyes filled with excited, greedy longing.
"Miss Shi, you look absolutely beautiful today!"
Robert exclaimed.
"Thank you!"
Shi Yanran said expressionlessly.
"I hope we can have a delightful evening tonight!"
Robert said, his eyes revealing a sinister gleam before they walked towards the dining table set for a candlelit dinner. They each took a seat on opposite ends, while a servant poured them red wine.
"Miss Shi, a toast to our meeting."
Robert raised his wine glass towards Shi Yanran.
"I hope you keep your promise and release my team!"
Shi Yanran said lightly, raising her wine glass.
"Don’t worry, I’ve already released them all."
Robert said, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth, his eyes flashing with an unusual expression.
"Miss Shi, I heard you say before that you left the entertainment industry for love. Do you already have a man in your heart?"
"That’s right."
Shi Yanran confessed.
"I envy the man loved by Miss Shi, but ultimately, you will belong to me!"
Robert said lightly, lifting his wine glass and taking a sip.
"I will never belong to you; I will always belong to that man, and nothing can change that!" Shi Yanran said, her eyes firm.
"Is that so? Well, I just have to change that!"
Robert said confidently.
Whoosh!
At that moment, Shi Yanran’s eyes flashed with determination, and she grabbed the knife and fork from the plate and stabbed at her own neck.
