Chapter 183 The People in the Apartment
It's still snowing in London...
Bai Wei, wearing a heavy coat, stood quietly by the window, gazing intently at the swirling snowflakes.
Snowflakes fluttered down, like silver feathers scattered from the sky, quickly turning the entire city into a pristine white.
Her eyes were somewhat vacant, her thoughts already drifting far away.
Fu Shiyue stood by the floor-to-ceiling window in his office, looking out at the torrential rain that was currently pouring down...
They were separated by distance, yet they longed for each other in their hearts...
Suddenly, a rapid ringing of the telephone broke the silence. Bai Wei snapped out of her reverie, slowly walked to the telephone, and picked up the receiver with trembling hands.
A deep, familiar voice came from the other end of the phone: "Weiwei, it's me." Hearing this voice, Bai Wei froze instantly, almost dropping the receiver. "You...how did you get my number?"
On the other end of the phone was a voice she knew all too well—it was her brother, Bai Yu.
Her voice carried a hint of panic. The person on the other end of the line was silent for a moment, then said, "I've been looking for you, Weiwei. I know where you are, I'll be there soon."
Bai Wei's heart clenched, and tears welled up in her eyes. "Brother..." Her voice choked, but she didn't let herself cry. She couldn't let her brother worry about her; he had just said he would come to find her.
"Weiwei, don't be afraid, your brother will be there to see you soon." His gentle yet firm voice came from the other end of the phone, as if it could penetrate the swirling snow and reach straight into her heart.
She stood quietly by the window, gazing at the swirling snowflakes outside, her thoughts already drifting away.
Each snowflake is like her turbulent emotions, falling alone in this cold winter.
Bai Yu gripped his phone. Soon, no one would be able to stop him from being with Weiwei. Anyone who dared to stand in his way, he would kill.
Including Fu Shiyue.
The snow outside the window was falling heavier and heavier, but Bai Wei didn't know how to respond. She wanted to say something, but found that her throat was blocked by something, and she couldn't make a sound.
Silence spread between them, broken only by the sound of the wind and falling snowflakes outside the window. Finally, she took a deep breath and whispered, "Brother, I want to go back."
“Sweet little sister, you’re relatively safe there right now. Don’t worry, I’ll be there soon.”
"Ah."
After saying that, Bai Wei hung up the phone.
Just then, Fu Shiyue's special assistant rushed into the office. "Mr. Fu, there's been some activity from Bai Yu."
"Speak," he said, his voice cold.
“We found his communication records, which showed a call with someone from London, England.”
Fu Shiyue's eyes sharpened, his hands clenched tightly, his knuckles tapping the table. "Keep a close eye on his every move, and notify me immediately of any further news."
The assistant accepted the order and left. Fu Shiyue looked out at the heavy rain and pondered a plan.
He knew that Bai Yu was capable of anything for Bai Wei, so he couldn't let his guard down.
After hanging up the phone, Bai Yu smiled sinisterly.
He quickly arranged his itinerary, planning to go to London first to see Weiwei. He had already secretly contacted some influential figures, intending to elope with Bai Wei after seeing her, so that Fu Shiyue would never have the chance to get close to her again.
Little did he know, Fu Shiyue had already figured out his plan perfectly.
He would know everything Bai Yu did, including his flight to London.
It seems the person was taken abroad.
He made a phone call, "Book me a flight to London right now, immediately."
After booking his plane ticket, Fu Shiyue immediately began preparing for his trip to London. He left the company's affairs to Shen Xian'an for the time being, and his priority was to find Ye Xingran and bring her back safely.
Soon, Fu Shiyue boarded a plane bound for London. The plane flew smoothly at an altitude of 10,000 meters. He sat in his first-class seat, his brow furrowed. Meanwhile, Bai Yu was on another plane, also eagerly anticipating seeing Bai Wei, completely unaware that Fu Shiyue was heading in the same direction.
The plane slowly landed on the London airport runway, and with each vibration of the fuselage, Fu Shiyue's heart grew increasingly tense.
As soon as he got off the plane, he was like a wild horse, frantically dialing the phone numbers of his contacts in London, urgently inquiring about Bai Wei's whereabouts.
While waiting for news, Fu Shiyue learned a shocking piece of information—Bai Yu had also arrived at London Airport at the same time!
Because he knew that as long as he could find Bai Yu, he would definitely be able to find Ye Xingran by following his clues.
Meanwhile, Bai Yu also arrived in London smoothly.
Following the address he had carefully arranged beforehand, he sped off towards Bai Wei's location without hesitation.
He quickly flagged down a taxi by the roadside and got in without hesitation.
Fu Shiyue anxiously searched for Bai Yu's figure in the bustling crowd, making sure he could see every person who passed by.
Finally, at a corner, he caught a glimpse of that incredibly familiar figure—Bai Yu!
Bai Yu was seen hurriedly getting into a taxi, and Fu Shiyue followed closely behind without hesitation.
We arrived at an old street.
The taxi stopped in front of an old apartment building. Bai Yu hurriedly got out of the car and then quickly walked into the apartment.
Fu Shiyue quickly followed. He saw bodyguards standing outside the apartment. The bodyguards looked at the newcomers and let them through without hesitation.
That means there's someone extremely important to him in this apartment.
He immediately thought of Ye Xingran, "It seems she really is locked up here."
Inside the apartment, as soon as I entered...
As soon as Bai Yu entered the room, he saw Bai Wei sitting listlessly in the living room, her eyes fixed on the television screen. A foreign film was playing on TV, but Bai Wei seemed completely uninterested in it, simply resting her chin on her hand, mechanically watching the screen like a soulless shell.
Suddenly, Bai Wei seemed to realize something and turned her head sharply. When she saw Bai Yu standing at the door, her previously empty eyes instantly brightened.
Then, like a cheerful little bird, she quickly sprang up from the sofa and rushed over like a gust of wind, throwing herself into Bai Yu's arms.
Bai Wei was overjoyed to see her family in a foreign country...
"Brother!" Bai Wei hugged Bai Yu tightly, as if afraid he would suddenly disappear. Her eyes were filled with deep dependence and longing.
Bai Yu gently stroked Bai Wei's hair and whispered, "Weiwei, I'm sorry for taking so long to come see you..."
"It's okay, brother, it's all over now. Aren't you here with me now?" Bai Wei looked up at Bai Yu with a bright smile on her face.
Just then, the maid Ann entered the living room carrying a glass of milk. When she saw Bai Wei embracing a man tightly, she gasped in surprise and blurted out, "Sir, you've arrived..."
Bai Wei heard Ann's voice, looked at her in confusion, and then turned to Bai Yu to ask, "Brother, what is she saying?"
"She was just saying hello."
Ann recognized the man; he was her boss, the one who had instructed her to take care of the woman who arrived later.
It seems that it was this Chinese woman.
He suddenly released Bai Wei, became serious, and stared at her, saying, "Weiwei, I don't approve of you being with that Fu Shiyue. He hurt you so deeply before, and even caused you to fall into the sea in despair. If Dad hadn't found you, you probably would be dead..."
Fu Shiyue knew that the apartment was closely guarded by people outside, and it would be no easy task to enter without being discovered.
However, he did not give up because of this; on the contrary, he became even more determined to find out the truth.
He slowly made his way around the apartment's exterior wall, carefully observing every possible entrance and weak point. Finally, in a corner of the backyard, he spotted a relatively low wall, which seemed like an opportunity to break through.
Fu Shiyue took a deep breath, leaped lightly, grabbed the edge of the wall tightly with both hands, and then pushed off with all his might, flipping over the wall like a swallow.
He landed with exceptional agility, making almost no sound.
Then, Fu Shiyue successfully climbed over the wall into the backyard and cautiously made his way towards the living room.
At this moment, Bai Yu was still patiently persuading Bai Wei in the living room.
"Weiwei, leave Fu Shiyue. He can't give you happiness."
"Once I've taken care of everything, I'll go back to London and settle down here with you. From then on, it will just be the two of us."
He stared at her with a terrifyingly focused gaze, as if she were the only reason he existed.
