Mr. Lu, Mr. Su is being coquettish again!

Lu Fang was very excited.

Zhou Ke seemed taken aback by the sudden shout, and unconsciously moved his phone further away: "He was very anxious, and... a bit forceful... He came here and wanted to find you. I had no choice but to arrange for someone to take him into the mountains."

Helicopters...that's impressive...nobody else would make such a big fuss, except for Su Nanqin...

Lu Fang felt as if he had been doused with a bucket of cold water from head to toe, and his back began to feel cold.

Lu Fang watched as the rain intensified, and the mountain roads were almost entirely shrouded in a thick fog, making it impossible to see the beginning or end of the road.

The already narrow mountain path became even more muddy, and one wrong step could send you tumbling down the cliff to your doom.

Lu Fang and his group were walking on a knife's edge, let alone someone as pampered as Su Nanqin.

If Su Nanqin really came, or if something unexpected happened to him, Lu Fang dared not imagine...

Overwhelmed by immense worry, Lu Fang almost lost all reason. He no longer cared who was opposite him and nearly roared:

"Why did you let him in?! Didn't you see the rain is getting heavier? Who's going to take responsibility if something happens?"

Zhou Ke seemed surprised by Lu Fang's strong reaction to the other party's arrival in the mountains. He had assumed the other party had come aggressively, arriving by helicopter, to cause trouble for Lu Fang...

But it seems that's not the case now...

Lu Fang's shout made him suddenly realize he had made a mistake. The man looked extremely arrogant and probably had never been to such places before.

Not to mention going into such dangerous deep forests, especially in such harsh weather...

Zhou Ke panicked for a moment. He really couldn't bear the responsibility if something happened, so he quickly tried to make amends: "I was too anxious. I'll send a few villagers who have walked a lot of mountain roads to go in and look for us. Maybe we can catch up."

Lu Fang touched his waist pouch, his panic and agitation making him momentarily want to smoke a cigarette to calm himself: "How long have you been in here?"

Zhou Ke hesitated for a moment.

"Speak," Lu Fang said, suppressing his agitation.

"It's been... a little over an hour, about the same time as you guys." Zhou Ke hesitated for a moment, then finally told the truth.

Lu Fang unconsciously tightened his grip on his phone, the veins on his hand bulging. Wei Chi stood next to him, holding an umbrella, barely daring to breathe.

The air pressure was very low, and Wei Chi unconsciously tilted the umbrella towards Lu Fang, afraid that the other party would jump up and hit him at any moment.

Dan Yu glanced at Wei Chi's exposed shoulder, half of which was soaked by the rain. The rain was heavy, almost dripping down the hem of Wei Chi's clothes.

Her eyes darkened, and she took an umbrella and held it over Lu Fang's head, subtly pushing Wei Chi's umbrella away so they could each hold one: "Kid, get out of the way. You're so stupid, you can't even hold an umbrella properly?"

Shan Yu knew his brother's temper; he was irritable and difficult to please, and one wrong move could cause collateral damage.

Judging from Wei Chi's expression, the child is likely to get a scolding.

Wei Chi was unconvinced and wanted to argue, but seeing his brother's anxious expression, he hesitated.

He opened his mouth but wisely refrained from speaking.

Standing to the side, she realized that it was a bit cramped for Shan Yu and Lu Fang to share an umbrella, so she turned her gaze to her own shoulder and found that half of it was wet.

His gaze fell on Shan Yu, who still had that carefree and annoying look.

However, it doesn't seem that bad...

Lu Fang instructed Zhou Ke to send someone in to pursue them.

After hanging up, he dialed Su Nanqin's number again. The signal was sometimes bad in the mountains, and it rang for a long time but no one answered.

The more unanswered the phone is, the more agitated he becomes; for every minute the phone rings, his heart sinks a little deeper.

Okay, go ahead and accept it.

He desperately wished that Su Nanqin was laughing on the other end of the phone, telling him what she had eaten that day, and sweetly telling him she missed him through the screen.

It rang for a full three minutes, but I didn't answer.

Lu Fang decisively hung up the phone and dialed Lin Yi's number.

Lin Yi's phone number was saved when he delivered the materials last time.

The call was answered quickly.

Lu Fang breathed a sigh of relief; Lin Yi was still there.

The person flying the helicopter was probably a building materials supplier who, like him, had his eye on this batch of marble.

"Hello, is this Mr. Lu?" Lin Yi's tentative voice came from the other end of the phone.

He was actually a little guilty.

When Su Nanqin left, he instructed him to keep it a secret from Lu Fang.

Lu Fang was someone he had met before who was no easier to deal with than Su Nanqin, and perhaps even more so.

He couldn't afford to offend either side. Even though Lu Fang hadn't even started asking yet, Lin Yi's hands were already sweating as he gripped his phone.

"Where is Su Nanqin?" Lu Fang asked immediately.

Lin Yi took a deep breath and began to laugh it off: "Mr. Lu, are you asking about President Su? He's currently in a very important international meeting and it's not convenient to disturb him. May I have him call you in a bit?"

Lu Fang was in a hurry. He didn't care about the meeting, and he had a feeling that Lin Yi was lying. He said firmly, "No need. Contact him now. I have something urgent."

"This... is really inconvenient, Mr. Lu..." Lin Yi felt guilty, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Lin Yi." Lu Fang's tone turned serious, carrying the authority of a superior.

Lin Yi had a feeling that if the other party said another word, he would be completely defeated.

But offending Su Nanqin won't end well either.

"I'll give you a chance to tell the truth. Do you really think Su Nanqin is tougher than me? Think about it. If you tell the truth, I'll protect you." Lu Fang's face was ashen. He was almost certain that Su Nanqin and Lin Yi had conspired to deceive him.

Lin Yi took a deep breath and gave in, "President Su... President Su..."

"President Su has come to see you." Lin Yi hesitated for a moment, then finally said as if he had made up his mind.

"This is outrageous! When did this happen?" Lu Fang's voice rose unconsciously, his internal organs burning with anger.

Su Nanqin actually dared to come here on his own, and even conspired with Lin Yi to try to deceive everyone.

"This morning, I took Xiao Zhou with me and flew over in my private jet... They should have arrived by now..." Lin Yi's voice trailed off, and he had a feeling that Lu Fang might come through the internet and beat him up.

Lu Fang was so angry his stomach was churning. He couldn't help but scold, "Nonsense! Su Nanqin has no sense of propriety. You've been by his side for so many years, don't you know how serious this is? It's so dangerous here, and you still dare to collude with him to hide this from me?"

Lin Yi now realized the seriousness of the situation, but he couldn't disobey President Su's orders: "It was President Su who instructed me..."

"Alright, I know. I know it was him who told me to do it, even if you don't say it." Lu Fang thought angrily.

Su Nanqin had better stand in front of him completely intact; he guaranteed he wouldn't be able to kill this disobedient fellow today.

This is outrageous!

Lu Fang looked at the rain that was falling harder and harder on the mountain and felt inexplicably panicked. It was definitely impossible for him to go into the mountains today.

The most urgent task is to find Su Nanqin.

He arranged for the team leader to lead the group back along the same route once the rain subsided.

He planned to go ahead and find Su Nanqin along the original route, his heart pounding with worry.

When Wei Chi heard that Lu Fang was going to go back in the rain, he immediately became anxious: "No, brother, it's too dangerous. There could be landslides and mudslides at any time."

Lu Fang glanced at him: "It's precisely because it's dangerous that I have to go."

The tone was unquestionable.

After saying that, he glanced at Shan Yu and Wei Chi again: "You two stay here and wait for the rain to stop so you can go back with the group. If you dare to run around and cause trouble, I'll break your legs when we get back!"

Lu Fang was serious; Su Nanqin's matter had already made him very angry.

He couldn't tolerate these two causing him any more trouble.

Sure enough, Wei Chi immediately disagreed: "Brother, I'll go with you."

"No way!" Lu Fang refused without hesitation. "It's too dangerous."

"Brother! It's precisely because of the danger that you think I could bear to let you go alone?" Wei Chi was also anxious.

Lu Fang glanced at the seemingly endless mountain road, then turned his gaze back to Wei Chi.

He felt a pang of sadness, realizing that the boy seemed to have grown up considerably in an instant, no longer the impulsive teenager he was two years ago.

His eyes darkened, as if he had made up his mind: "I'll go, but I'll have to follow orders."

When Wei Chi saw that his brother agreed, his joy was immediately evident.

At the end of the day, he's still just a child.

Dan Yu was still nonchalantly standing to the side, saying, "Hey, if you guys are all going, it wouldn't be right to leave me out, would it?"

Although Shan Yu was a scoundrel, he wasn't a bad person at heart; in fact, he even possessed the tenacity and loyalty of a street tough. Lu Fang knew this.

The rain was heavy, so the three of them each took an umbrella and returned the way they came.

While keeping an eye on his feet, Lu Fang kept trying to call Su Nanqin.

The phone was always ringing, but no one answered. Lu Fang was very anxious and tried twice more.

Finally, on the third try, the call connected. Su Nanqin's voice came through, but it was muffled by the pattering rain: "Lu Fang..."

Lu Fang's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, suddenly dropped a little because of that one word, "Lu Fang".

Then, seeing the rain intensifying and suddenly rising again, his tone became somewhat fierce: "I'm asking you, where are you?"

Su Nanqin paused, holding his phone on the other end of the line. This road was too difficult to travel.

He just tripped and fell; his leg and butt hurt, and his clothes are dirty.

Lu Fang didn't take him, so he had to go by himself. Now that he had fallen, he felt a little aggrieved.

But Lu Fang's tone was stern, and fearing Lu Fang would notice, he stammered, not daring to tell the truth: "I'm outside, it's raining in the capital..."

To hell with the rain! This morning, Lu Fang was worried that Su Nanqin wouldn't bring an umbrella to work, so he even checked the weather forecast for Beijing.

Under the blazing sun and clear sky, he told himself it would rain.

Lu Fang suddenly became even angrier; at a time like this, he was still lying: "Su Nanqin!"

Su Nanqin was startled by his shout and almost fell off the hillside, but Xiao Zhou caught him quickly.

Looking at the cliff that was hundreds of meters high, Xiao Zhou broke out in a cold sweat.

But Su Nanqin acted as if nothing was wrong, his attention completely focused on his phone.

"Su Nanqin! I'll give you three seconds to tell me exactly where you are! If you dare to utter a single lie, I'll beat you to death!!" Lu Fang was furious, and profanities just flew out of his mouth.

After getting together with Su Nanqin, he rarely swore in front of her anymore, and he rarely got so angry as he did today, his hand holding the phone was trembling with rage.
