The wealthy military officer spoils his wife excessively

Qin Jiangfeng broke off a pair of chopsticks for her: "What, is that rich second-generation your boyfriend?"

Suwen suddenly turned her face and silently nodded.

"My girl's all grown up, she's dating now." Qin Jiangfeng shook his head with a smile. "Don't worry, I've accepted you as my sister, so your husband's affairs are my affairs. I'll help you find the person you're looking for. Alright, stop crying, wipe your tears and eat while it's hot."

Suwen took the chopsticks, her tears turning into a smile, her cheeks flushed a faint pink under the steam, while Qin Jiangfeng's phoenix eyes, veiled by the mist, were tinged with worry.

That night, Suwen went back and asked Yanbei for the driver's photo and identification information, which she then faxed to Qin Jiangfeng.

Qin Jiangfeng usually looks carefree and irresponsible, but back in his underworld days, he was known for his decisive and efficient actions. Sure enough, Su Wen received his call in less than half a day.

"Girl, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's that I can't."

Upon hearing this tone, Suwen's face changed, and he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, brother?"

"I've found the person for you, but you'll probably have to go see him in person."

Suwen became increasingly puzzled. Had they found him, yet he said he couldn't help?

She was holding her phone while getting dressed: "It's okay, I'll go there right now, wherever he is."

Qin Jiangfeng sighed: "They're in Hao Haiyun's hands."

"..."

Suwen almost dropped the phone she was holding.

"Girl, listen to your brother, let's just let this matter go," Qin Jiangfeng advised her honestly.

He witnessed her shoot Hao Haiyun that year. So many brothers were waiting outside; if she had taken one step out of that room, she would have been riddled with bullets. He pitied the girl and felt she was innocent, so he came up with this terrible idea: to have her kidnap the injured Hao Haiyun and escape, and to force Hao Haiyun to swear a solemn oath—never to pursue the matter—before he would let him go back.

Hao Haiyun was almost unconscious from being shot, blood gushing from the gun barrel in his shoulder. That was his sworn brother, with whom he had been sworn to fight three times and six times, yet he could only watch helplessly as his brother was seriously injured and taken hostage. He felt utterly inhuman.

Even though Hao Haiyun had lost too much blood and was pale as a ghost, she still remembered to hold back a trump card in her critical condition: "As long as you disappear from my sight from now on, I will not pursue this matter. But if I see you again one day, I will definitely not let you go."

The feud between Suwen and Hao Haiyun was thus established, and his brotherhood with Hao Haiyun, which had lasted for more than ten years, was completely severed.

However, Qin Jiangfeng only knew one aspect of the story. He could never have guessed that Su Wen had seen Hao Haiyun again half a year ago and threatened him once more using the same method.

The ancients said things shouldn't happen more than three times, and some people say, don't pluck the tiger's hair. She not only provoked him, but more than once. Now, should she obediently go and offer herself up again?

Thinking of Hao Haiyun's cold and perverted appearance when he tortured her, she felt a chill run down her spine even without Qin Jiangfeng's persuasion.

"Girl..."

She silently hung up the phone, slumped to the ground, her eyes lifeless.

Was fate determined to destroy her? They finally found a clue, only to be told that the clue was in the hands of Death. Did she dare to take it?

"Ha..." If only I had known this would happen, Nie Suwen thought.

She sat motionless from afternoon to evening, almost like a statue, her mind seemingly frozen, unable to think of anything.

She had been sitting for too long, and the blood in her feet felt as cold as if it had frozen. She used her palms to support herself on the floor and finally managed to stand up.

Unable to make up her mind, she called Yanbei, hoping he could find a way to get the person from Hao Haiyun, even though she knew the chances were slim.

Hao Haiyun's personality was all too clear to her. Someone who could be shot and still manage to escape all the way to the clinic, smashing a window without uttering a sound, was unlikely to give in easily. And this man's methods were ruthless and cruel to the extreme; those who fell into his hands suffered severe injuries, even losing limbs was considered lenient.

Suwen told Yanbei on the phone that she had found the whereabouts of the driver who caused the accident. Yanbei was indeed very excited when he heard this. He said that it was not clear over the phone and asked her to come to the coffee shop downstairs from her house to talk in detail.

It started to drizzle at dusk. Suwen hadn't brought an umbrella, so she pulled the hood of her coat over her head and hurried out of the building. Just as she reached the driveway in the residential complex, someone suddenly stopped her: "Miss Nie!"

The man was a stranger, carrying an umbrella, and spoke politely: "Our boss has something to discuss with Miss Nie."

"Your boss?" Suwen's expression was one of surprise, and a hint of wariness flashed through her mind.

The man turned around, glanced at a Mercedes-Benz not far away, and said, "Miss Nie, you'll know once you get in the car."

Suwen looked at the car model and the man's style, and suddenly understood. While nodding in agreement, she secretly reached into her pocket and pressed the replay button.

She didn't know when Yanbei would answer the phone. She followed the man to the car, where the person waiting inside opened the door for them. The man outside gestured for her to get in, and Suwen had no choice but to bow and get into the car.

As soon as the door closed, the man sitting in the back seat with her reached out his hand to her. She shrank back into the corner in fright. The man calmly reached into her pocket, pulled out her phone with the screen still flashing during a call, and said, "Ms. Nie, don't be afraid, we're just doing our routine."

As he spoke, the phone was switched off and tossed into the hands of the person in the front passenger seat.

The car vibrated slightly, but drove smoothly through the rainy night. Outside the window, the night deepened, and the streetlights came on, shining like a string of pearls. The intermittent rain washed the asphalt road until it gleamed black, even the zebra crossings were as smooth as jade. Everything was enveloped in the fine rain, everything seemed vibrant and fresh.

Su Wen hadn't expected that before she could even make up her mind, Hao Haiyun had already sent someone to invite her.

She sighed softly. What's meant to happen will happen, and what's owed will eventually have to be repaid.

The person in the car was quite friendly to her, opened the car refrigerator, and asked, "Miss Nie, would you like something to drink?"

Su Wen's mind had been racing ever since she got into the car, and now there was no point in hiding it: "No, I don't know what your boss wants to see me about?"

The other party replied perfectly: "Miss Nie will know when she meets the boss."

Suwen continued gazing out the window. The car was heading towards the outskirts of Beijing; if we continued driving, we would be leaving the city. After passing the toll station and turning onto a side road, the road became increasingly secluded.

Su Wen felt even more uneasy. Was it not Hao Haiyun looking for her? Was it just a routine kidnapping? Now she regretted getting into the car so easily, because she had originally planned to go see Hao Haiyun herself. If he came to invite her, it would save her the trouble of finding out where he was now. But who else but Hao Haiyun would use this method to invite her?

Once the car entered the winding mountain road, Suwen recognized that this was a six-star resort area that was recently under construction. There was a newly built golf course on the hillside, and it was said that there were also yacht clubs and other luxury facilities.

Following the winding road, they finally saw the manor-like buildings in the distance, brightly lit, casting a golden glow on the mountainside, as if a golden plate had been lifted from the mountainside, covered with intricately carved and gilded palaces. Su Wen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief; this was definitely not where the kidnappers were hiding.

The car stopped halfway up the mountain. Without a word, the driver and the person guarding her in the back opened their doors and got out. Her car stood alone on the quiet road, silently parked in the middle, like a child abandoned in the wilderness.

She panicked a little and reached out to push the car door, but before her hand even touched it, it was pulled open from the outside. The person who entered brought a gust of damp, cold air with them into the car. Suwen looked up and met a pair of piercing eyes, like the eyes of a wild beast in the dark night.

Suwen was startled and fell backward into her seat, desperately trying to hide in a corner.

The man's outstretched hand missed its target and froze in mid-air. His expression was extremely cold as he stared intently at her, as if he were about to skin her alive at any moment.

"What, you've done something wrong, so afraid to see me?" Hao Haiyun's voice was indifferent, revealing neither joy nor anger.

Su Wen forced himself to calm down, looked at the sky outside. It was late at night in the desolate mountains, and no one would even know if a body had been dumped there.

My heart was pounding in my throat, but I had to pretend to be nonchalant: "Brother Yun really knows how to pick a place to catch up."

He chuckled coldly, squeezed in and sat next to her, closing the car door behind him and instantly shutting out the rain outside. His proximity made Su Wen feel a sudden pressure; the cramped space was filled with the faint smell of liquor. He'd been drinking; he tended to lose his composure when he drank…

Suwen did not want to recall those nightmarish past events.

"It's so late, Brother Yun has been drinking, why don't you go back and rest early?"

"Hmph, I'm leaving, so you're not going to save your sweetheart anymore?" His sarcastic remarks carried a coercive tone, causing Su Wen to stiffen instantly.

"So the person really is with you?" Suwen stopped beating around the bush. The timing of this was too coincidental; she had just been looking for the driver when he fell into Hao Haiyun's hands. He had probably set this trap all along, patiently waiting for her to fall into it.

"Let's not beat around the bush. What do you want in return for giving me the person?"

She came to see Hao Haiyun with the mindset of certain death, fearing that he would not give her a quick death and would keep her alive to torture her slowly.

Hao Haiyun suddenly grabbed her chin, stared fiercely into her pupils, and asked, "Are you really willing to do anything for that man?"

"..."

In the dim light inside the car, his gaze towards her held a bloodthirsty intensity, as if he were about to tear her to pieces: "I remember warning you, don't fall into my hands again, or else..."
