Previously, Xia Xinyi had no intention of thinking about other things because she was worried about her daughter's injury. But now that her daughter is fine, Xia Xinyi recalled the scene when Lu Yang saved her daughter just now, and her heart couldn't help but feel moved.
Although Xia Xinyi and Wu Xu are called husband and wife, Wu Xu is the one her grandfather likes, and Xia Xinyi doesn't like Wu Xu at all.
Although Xia Xinyi has been married to Wu Xu for two years, she has never let Wu Xu touch her body.
Because long before Xia Xinyi got married, she knew that Wu Xu was keeping a lover outside and would use any means to trick female employees of the company into sleeping with her.
After seeing how shameless and dirty her husband Wu Xu was, Xia Xinyi thought that she would never be attracted to any man again in her life.
But just now, she fell in love with Lu Yang!
Lu Yang didn't know that his behavior today had already touched Xia Xinyi's heart!
If Wu Xu knew about this, Wu Xu would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood again.
Wu Xu tried his best to trick Lu Yang's woman Yuan Zixuan into sleeping with her. But before he succeeded, his wife Xia Xinyi had already been easily captured by Lu Yang!
However, Wu Xu will not know about this for the time being.
Lu Yang didn't know that his behavior just now had stirred up Xia Xinyi's heart that had been dormant for many years. This beauty among Huangzhou's socialites was so obsessed with him.
Lu Yang took Yuan Yingshan back to Xia Linglan's sports car, but Xia Linglan was not in the car.
Yuan Yingshan immediately called Xia Linglan.
But Xia Linglan's phone call couldn't be reached. Now, Yuan Yingshan started to get anxious.
"What's going on? Where is this guy Lanlan? Why doesn't he answer my call?"
After hearing what Yuan Yingshan said, the female driver in front said, "Your friend just answered a phone call and then got out of the car and left."
When Lu Yang heard this, he quickly asked, "Then do you know which way she went?"
The female driver pointed to the trail to the west.
"It's going in that direction."
When Yuan Yingshan heard this, she started to chase him.
However, Lu Yang grabbed Yuan Yingshan.
"Sister Yuan, you'd better wait here for me! I'll go after Senior Sister Xia."
Lu Yang had also sensed that there was something fishy about this matter. He was worried that taking Yuan Yingshan with him would distract him from taking care of Yuan Yingshan.
If he meets a master, it will be difficult for him to protect Yuan Yingshan and Xia Linglan at the same time.
Yuan Yingshan had just seen Lu Yang break open the steel plate with his bare hands and knew that Lu Yang's martial arts skills were not bad. She did not persist.
"Then be careful!"
Lu Yang nodded and chased down the path Xia Linglan left.
It was almost late at night, and the trail was only more than half a meter wide. Lu Yang chased for more than ten miles before he saw an abandoned village in front of him.
Not only did Lu Yang have excellent hearing, his sense of smell was also far superior to ordinary people. So he had already smelled that Xia Linglan was walking along this trail.
When we got here, there was not only the smell of Xia Linglan's body, but also the smell of several strangers mixed with it.
Lu Yang secretly became more vigilant.
Before reaching the entrance of the village, Lu Yang found someone hiding in an old house at the entrance of the village.
Lu Yang estimated that this person should be responsible for sentry duty.
Fortunately, it was already late at night, and Lu Yang used the cover of trees and houses to successfully evade the sentry at the entrance of the village and sneak into the village.
As soon as Lu Yang entered the village, he heard a girl's voice coming from a small building in the west of the village.
It is Xia Linglan.
"Liu Yifan, what on earth do you want to do by tricking me into coming here?"
In the small building, a middle-aged man in his early thirties was drinking tea with his legs crossed. Xia Linglan was tied to another chair next to him.
Hearing Xia Linglan's words, the middle-aged man put down the tea cup in his hand and looked at Xia Linglan.
"Mr. Xia, my request is very simple.
As I said just now, as long as you sell me the secret formula of the beauty pill newly developed by your Xia Group, I will let them let you go.
How about it?"
Xia Linglan snorted coldly.
"Liu Yifan, you're dreaming! That secret recipe took me three years of hard work to research. I can't possibly sell it to anyone."
Liu Yifan is not angry either.
"Xia Linglan, you have to think about it carefully. If you don't want to sell the secret recipe, then you won't be able to go back tonight!"
Liu Yifan said and slowly stood up.
"By the way, let me tell you, these people who arrested you are all scumbags who do all kinds of evil!"
"If I hand you over to them directly, the consequences will be disastrous!"
Speaking of this, Liu Yifan deliberately walked up to Xia Linglan and looked at Xia Linglan mischievously.
"If a stunning beauty like Mr. Xia falls into the hands of these people, the consequences will be..."
When Liu Yifan said this, he deliberately stopped and then looked at Xia Linglan's two slender legs exposed under her long skirt.
Xia Linglan's expression changed, but she still gritted her teeth and refused to compromise.
Xia Linglan hoped that by delaying it longer, Yuan Yingshan and Lu Yang could find out in time that something was wrong with her and call her grandfather to send experts to rescue her.
Liu Yifan looked at Xia Linglan with a sinister smile on his face.
"Okay, I, Liu Yifan, am a serious businessman. I won't embarrass you.
I'll give you half an hour to think about it. If Mr. Xia has thought about it and is willing to sell me the secret recipe, I can offer you 10,000 yuan.
You can also help Mr. Xia escape from these people.
But if Mr. Xia refuses to agree, then I’m sorry!”
Xia Linglan was so angry that her eyes widened.
"Liu Yifan, are you too shameless? My secret recipe cost at least 10 million yuan in research funds and took three years to develop. You actually want to buy it for 10,000 yuan?
This is obviously blackmail!"
Liu Yifan turned around and looked at Xia Linglan and smiled.
"Xia Linglan, so what if it's blackmail? What can you do to me?"
Xia Linglan gritted her teeth with hatred.
"Aren't you afraid that Uncle Zuo will come and kill all of you?"
Liu Yifan chuckled.
"Xia Linglan, I know that your Xia family hired a master of martial arts named Zuo Ming. So what?"
"Do you think that with Zuo Ming's protection in your Xia family, no one dares to mess with you? Let me tell you, although Zuo Ming is powerful, in the eyes of our Liu family, he is nothing!"
Liu Yifan said, hehehe.
"If you don't want to die, sell me the secret recipe quickly."
After saying that, Liu Yifan turned and left.
Outside the small building, Lu Yang was hiding in a big tree. He could clearly hear the conversation between Xia Linglan and Liu Yifan.
After listening to the conversation between the two, Lu Yang roughly understood the ins and outs of the matter.
Lu Yang has already figured out who Liu Yifan and the others are. In this small village, except for the two outer sentries, there are seven people, all of whom are in this small building.
Apart from Liu Yifan and Xia Linglan, there were five other people who were all masters in the world. There was one of them who was hiding very deep, and Lu Yang had never been able to figure out his level of strength.
This is what Lu Yang is most afraid of.
Originally, Lu Yang planned to rush in and rescue Xia Linglan while Liu Yifan was leaving.
But when he heard Liu Yifan say Zuo Ming's name, Lu Yang immediately gave up the idea. Before going down the mountain, his master Baiyun told him that Zuo Ming, the only one who knew the whereabouts of his parents, was probably hiding in Huangzhou Xia.
Home.
Lu Yang didn't quite believe it at the time, but after listening to Liu Yifan's words, Lu Yang believed it!
Since this Zuo Ming is hiding in the Xia family, and according to Liu Yifan's wishes, the Xia family still relies heavily on Zuo Ming. So if he rushes in directly and rescues Xia Linglan, his strength will be exposed.
If Zuo Ming is alert, he might slip away.
If Zuo Ming is allowed to escape, it will be difficult for him to find out the whereabouts of his parents!
Thinking of this, Lu Yang suppressed the impulse in his heart again.
