Chapter 620: The target is Gu Dai

Translator: _Min_

In a night that was supposed to be tranquil, the online world erupted with consecutive trending search entries.

**”Gu Group, Su Corporation, and Zhou Corporation—three major industry giants suffer a huge blow, stocks plummeting!”**

**”President Su Ting of Su Corporation, a top international model, feared dead in a plane explosion!”**

** “Rising star Fu Chuan from Gu Corporation revealed to be an illegitimate child!”**

The internet instantly buzzed with discussions.

“It all happened so suddenly, I can’t believe Su Ting would be in an accident!”

“The three business titans facing a crisis together—this must be a targeted attack. Who is ruthless enough to orchestrate this?”

“This is just too malicious; I can’t believe they’re actually in trouble.”

“What’s this about Fu Chuan being an illegitimate child? Is there any report on this? How did it suddenly make the hot search without any posts beforehand? Who’s manipulating things behind the scenes?”

Li Yuan, looking grim, scanned through the online comments and gritted his teeth, “Why does anyone trust these people like Gu Dai?”

As he finished speaking, his eyes drifted back to the entries about Su Ting’s crash and the troubles at the company. His face lit up with a smirk, “Even if they trust them, what does it matter? They die, they suffer, and in the end, the only winner will be me, Li Yuan!”

Fu Chuan, hearing the noise around him, slowly fluttered his eyelashes and opened his eyes. Looking around, he found himself in a dirty, rubbish-filled environment, his gaze finally settling on Li Yuan as he asked coldly, “Who are you, and why have you captured us?”

Li Yuan, startled by the sound, quickly turned to look at Fu Chuan and sneered, “Oh, the little b*stard is awake.”

Fu Chuan stared icily at Li Yuan.

Li Yuan scoffed, “What, am I not speaking the truth?”

As he spoke, flames seemed to flicker in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth, “Fu Jing has played the obedient role in front of me for years, and I never expected she had such a big secret—a child hidden so well!”

He grabbed a cold, gleaming dagger from the table and stepped toward Fu Chuan.

Fu Jing, upon opening her eyes, saw Li Yuan approaching Fu Chuan with intent to harm and yelled desperately, “Stop! This is between us; don’t hurt Fu Chuan!”

Li Yuan coldly responded, “If I don’t hurt Fu Chuan, then I’ll hurt you.”

Fu Jing quickly replied, “If you’re going to do anything, come at me. It was me who deceived you; you should be dealing with me.”

Fu Chuan interjected, “No, don’t touch my mom, or I won’t let you off!”

Li Yuan looked at Fu Chuan with mocking eyes, “You’re bound and can’t move; what can you do to me?”

Fu Chuan glared angrily at Li Yuan, struggling against the ropes, but to no avail.

Li Yuan smirked, “The ropes binding you were carefully designed by me over many years; how could I let you escape easily? You and your mother should just stay here peacefully, as I don’t plan to act against you now.”

Fu Jing frowned and asked in confusion, “What do you mean?”

Li Yuan’s expression darkened, his voice full of barely suppressed fury, “I’ve built up Organization X for many years, and Gu Dai and Su Ting led the police to destroy my headquarters. All the enemies I’ve made over the years are now after me; how could I easily let them go?”

He chuckled coldly, “Now that Su Ting is dead, you two are merely tools to lure Gu Dai here!”

Li Yuan took out his phone, snapped a photo of Fu Jing and Fu Chuan, and sent it to Gu Dai along with a message: Want to save them?

Li Yuan’s phone rang the next second; it was Gu Dai calling. He smiled and flicked his phone toward Fu Jing and Fu Chuan before lazily answering, “Have you decided to save them?”

Fu Jing quickly shouted, “Miss Gu, don’t come over, don’t mind us!”

Fu Chuan added, “Yes, this is all Li Yuan’s trap; don’t fall for it!”

Li Yuan hadn’t expected Fu Jing and Fu Chuan to suddenly speak up. He glared at them fiercely and roared, “Shut up, both of you, or I’ll kill you right now!”

Gu Dai’s calm voice then reached Li Yuan’s ear, “What do you want in exchange for their release?”
