The next afternoon, Official Ling had just returned ho to Binzhou with his wife, unaware that Kern had sent people to blow up the Murong Family estate. If he knew, he'd probably be speechless!
After leaving West Sacred Mountain yesterday, Ling Fan took Xiao Chubing straight to Zhongnan Academy. He briefed her on so matters, familiarized her with the academy's environnt, and t the dean.
After staying at the academy for one night, they hurried back as soon as it was light.
"I'll make a call to inform Peng Ming and the others, so no one worries," Ling Fan said with a smile to Xiao Chubing.
"Mhm!"
Xiao Chubing nodded and, leaning on Ling Fan's shoulder, teased, "Honey, take a bath after the call!"
The previous night at the academy had been inconvenient for Ling Fan. He had assigned her quite a few tasks, and combined with the days of torture at the Murong Family, she had neither the mood nor the energy!
After a night of rest, and with the Miraculous Elixirs Ling Fan had given her, she woke up rejuvenated, regaining her usual vigor and appearance!
Official Ling took a deep breath, recalling the scene at the Murong Family where he had been ridiculed for his inadequacy. A devious smile crept onto his face, "Looks like I need to assert myself as a husband, to avoid being laughed at in the future!"
As he spoke, he suddenly tossed the phone aside and wrapped his arms around Xiao Chubing.
"Aren't you going to make the call?" Xiao Chubing said, looking at him tenderly.
"It won't matter if it's a little later, right?" Official Ling chuckled and then dominantly kissed Xiao Chubing's lips.
"Ring, ring, ring~~~" The dry ringing of the phone sounded inappropriately at this mont.
Official Ling paused, his passion significantly cooled off.
"Should... should we answer the phone!" Xiao Chubing pushed Ling Fan away and said with a flushed face.
"Heh, today nobody is going to interrupt us. The husband's duty must be asserted!" Ling Fan chuckled maliciously.
Hearing the incessant ringing, Xiao Chubing regained so of her composure and said tenderly, "Let's answer the call first, in case it's sothing urgent, wouldn't it be a delay?"
Reluctantly, Ling Fan let go of Xiao Chubing and went to answer the phone.
"Hello!" Ling Fan answered on speakerphone, greeting sowhat grudgingly.
Being interrupted wasn't exactly improving his mood.
"Brother Fan, I finally got through to you. How is your sister-in-law, did you find her, where are you?" Peng Ming imdiately fired off a barrage of questions from the other side.
Hearing Peng Ming's voice, Ling Fan felt frustrated; this guy really had a knack for timing. Had he known, he would have notified him earlier!
"Found her, she's fine now, just got back. Your sister-in-law is a bit under the weather and needs so rest. I'll co and find you later!" Ling Fan replied, planning to hang up the phone.
"That's good, that's good. Oh, you're back already? There's sothing I need to tell you. The Long Family has kidnapped Feng Shuya. They left a ssage for you: if you want to save her, et at Phoenix Perch Mountain in the Imperial Capital in three days. It's already been one day!" Peng Ming quickly said.
Ling Fan's eyes suddenly narrowed as he was about to hang up the phone, and Xiao Chubing's expression subtly changed as well. Their playful mood faded, and they sobered up considerably.
"Shu Ya was kidnapped?" Ling Fan said coldly.
"Yeah, we'll talk when you get here. It's not the deadline yet; they probably won't dare to do anything rash!" Peng Ming heard the coldness in Ling Fan's voice and imdiately tried to reassure him.
Ling Fan hung up the phone, his expression very grim.
Xiao Chubing, sitting on Official Ling's lap and wrapping her arms around his neck, frowned, "The Long Family has made a move!"
"Indeed, it's ti for an end. I haven't even settled accounts with them yet; they're in such a rush to reincarnate, provoking proactively!" Ling Fan said with a chilling tone.
"Let's go, I'll join you to check this out!" Xiao Chubing got up from Official Ling's lap and straightened her disheveled clothes.
Ling Fan sighed inwardly, "I'll let you go for now, but you'll pay later."
Xiao Chubing blushed and muttered, "Hmph, all talk. Get on with the important matters already!"
Her mood was also quite frustrated; every ti she and Ling Fan were together, sothing crucial always fell apart at the critical mont!
The two of them then regained their composure and hurried over to Yun Fei's place.
In the Imperial Capital, the Long Family occupied a vast quadrangle compound.
Feng Shuya was confined in a separate room, looking anxious, with guards at the door.
Having just awakened the night before, she found herself in a strange environnt, causing her soul to nearly leave her body as terrifying scenes flooded her mind.
She had seen enough news stories to know that so psychopaths kidnap won and imprison them to do horrendous things.
The door to the room was locked from the outside; after a long search, she found no ans of escape and spent an agonizing night fraught with fear.
"Click!"
The sound of the door unlocking ca from outside, making Feng Shuya jolt, her nerves frayed to the breaking point.
In her fearful state, a figure opened the door, wearing canvas shoes, a slicked-back hair, and a white practice gown—it was none other than Tianjun Long.
"Is... it you?" Feng Shuya pale and trembling voiced.
"Heh, you seem to have forgotten who your real master is. I have spread the word for your darling to co save you within three days. I hope he won't disappoint you!" Tianjun Long sneered.
Hearing this, Feng Shuya turned ghastly pale, "What... what do you want?"
"Haha, isn't that boy quite cocky? In three days, I'm going to break his limbs and tie him up right in front of , so I can enjoy watching how I conquer his woman! Hahaha!" Tianjun Long laughed maliciously, his expression sinister.
"You... are despicable!" Feng Shuya felt ice cold, her face drained of blood.
Tianjun Long's eyes roved over Feng Shuya's graceful curves, and he clicked his tongue in appreciation, "Well shaped, though I wonder about her skills. I hope she doesn't disappoint . I'll restrain myself for these two days!"
Feng Shuya felt a chill spread through her limbs, "Ling Fan won't let you go!"
"Hmph, I'll be waiting!" Tianjun Long snorted and then turned and left.
If it weren't for the old man's order, not to ss around until after he had dealt with Ling Fan, he would have taken care of Feng Shuya last night!
