Chapter 1149: Venting Anger; Save PeopleTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In order to miss the peak hour congestion, the driver specially chose a street with fewer people. He did not expect someone to bump into the rear here.
“I’ll go down and take a look.” Lu Li put down her things and pushed open the car door to get out.
She was about to coordinate with the people in the car behind when her eyes widened.
The bright color and extremely wild design were very similar to Xuan Sheng’s car.
Lu Li looked at the front windshield of the car. She could see a small canary hanging in the car. Lu Li was now certain that this was Xuan Sheng’s car.!!
At this moment, a black figure walked out of the car and stopped Lu Li.
“I’m sorry, little sister. I’m not quite used to this car. I knocked you, right? How much is it? I’ll pay. Can you write a check?” The person who spoke was an extremely beautiful woman. Her wavy hair made her small face look even more exquisite. The thick makeup did not look out of place on her face at all. Instead, it stimulated her gorgeous beauty.
Lu Li was stunned for a moment. She looked at the car and then at the person. “Okay.”
Feng Wuyou flipped her hair. Seeing that the little girl in front of her was in a daze and felt that she was quite cute, her red lips curled up slightly. “Can you lend me a pen, little beauty? I don’t have a pen.”

Lu Li was about to turn around and get a pen from the car when Xia Wanyuan pushed open the car door and got out.
When Feng Wuyou saw Xia Wanyuan, her eyes lit up slightly. This was the woman Xuan Sheng liked? As expected, she was worlds apart from that Ding Shanshan just now. I knew it. When did Xuan Sheng’s taste become so bad?
“Miss Xia Wanyuan.” Feng Wuyou waved at her. “I’ve heard a lot about you. It’s our first time meeting. You’re indeed as beautiful as in the photo.”
Facing this stranger’s sudden greeting, Xia Wanyuan was very calm. “Miss, you are?”
“My name is Feng Wuyou.” Feng Wuyou smiled at Xia Wanyuan flirtatiously. Her eyes flickered. “I’m Xuan Sheng’s girlfriend. Haha, hello. I’ve always heard that Xuan Sheng likes you very much.”
“… Hello.” Xia Wanyuan looked at Feng Wuyou seriously. After seeing that there was no sarcasm in her words and that she was seriously expressing the truth, she felt a little strange.
Although Lu Li had long guessed it, she still felt a little sad when she heard it herself.
It seemed that everyone could stand beside Xuan Sheng, but not her.
“I’m sorry for bumping into your car. Can you add me on WeChat? I’ll transfer the money to you.” Feng Wuyou, who had grown up in America, had a very straightforward personality. She was a standard beauty lover.
Back then, she could make friends with Xuan Sheng because he looked quite to her liking.
Now that she saw Xia Wanyuan, she felt that Xia Wanyuan really matched her aesthetic standards. No matter what, she had to add Xia Wanyuan’s WeChat first.
Furthermore, she was very curious about what the girl Xuan Sheng liked was like.
Lu Li knew that Xia Wanyuan would not add strangers. She stood up and said, “Miss Feng, you can add me. Just transfer it to me.”
Feng Wuyou shrugged. “Alright then.”
With that, she handed the phone to Lu Li without any defense. “Then please help me with it. I don’t know how to operate it.”
How many years had it been since she returned to China? She did not know anything about these new social apps.
After Lu Li added Feng Wuyou’s WeChat, Feng Wuyou transferred 50,000 yuan to Lu Li’s phone. “Is it enough?”
Lu Li looked at the spot where the rear had been hit. There was only a small mark. “It’s too much, right?”
Feng Wuyou waved her phone. “It’s nothing. Anyway, I didn’t spend my own money.”
She looked at Xia Wanyuan. “Goodbye, Miss Xia. I still have something on, so I’ll leave. Let’s meet again if fate allows it.”
With that, Feng Wuyou floated back into the car like a gust of wind. A huge roar sounded. Feng Wuyou drove with one hand, then waved at Xia Wanyuan with a smile. Xia Wanyuan nodded slightly at her.
After Feng Wuyou disappeared from her sight, Xia Wanyuan retracted her gaze and looked at Lu Li, who was lowering her head. A hint of regret flashed across her eyes.
She walked forward and patted Lu Li’s shoulder. “Alright, don’t be sad.”
Lu Li looked up. To Xia Wanyuan’s surprise, although she looked a little disappointed, she did not cry. Lu Li pursed her lips. “Sister Xia, I know CEO Xuan doesn’t like me. I’m already prepared.”
She brought Xuan Sheng food and cared about him, but she could not let go. This did not affect Xuan Sheng from having a girlfriend and liking other people.
Although the person she liked was Xuan Sheng, Xuan Sheng was also free. What Xuan Sheng did had nothing to do with her.
A smile flashed across Xia Wanyuan’s eyes. “Mm, it’s good that you think that way. You’re still young. You’ll meet the most suitable person eventually.”
Lu Li nodded obediently. She admired Xia Wanyuan the most. She felt that whatever Xia Wanyuan said was right.
The two of them returned to the car. After Xia Wanyuan arrived at the Jun Corporation, she asked the chauffeur to send Lu Li back.
Now, all the employees of the Jun Corporation were looking forward to Xia Wanyuan’s arrival.
Everyone knew that every time Xia Wanyuan came to pick Jun Shiling up, the company would knock off very early.
“Hello, Madam.” “Hello, Madam.”
As she walked, everyone greeted Xia Wanyuan with enthusiastic smiles.
Xia Wanyuan took the special elevator upstairs herself. Jun Shiling was still in the meeting room for a meeting, so Xia Wanyuan waited for him alone in the office.
Jun Shiling did not take his phone and placed it on his desk.
They had exchanged phone passwords with each other. Xia Wanyuan’s phone was out of battery, so she took Jun Shiling’s phone and played with it.
Unexpectedly, not long after she picked it up, an encrypted message was sent.
The information was stored on a website with a password. Xia Wanyuan did not click on it, but the other party quickly sent another message. “Sir, this is Xia Yu’s news. He’s safe for now. We’ve already found him.”
Xia Wanyuan frowned slightly. Xia Yu?
Did something happen to Xia Yu?
Putting her doubts aside, Xia Wanyuan used Jun Shiling’s phone to read the news.
She saw that she was on the trending list again on Weibo.
Not only did the grandmother and grandson she had met at the door not go to the hospital to take care of their so-called partner, but after she left, they even threw a tantrum and chased away the bodyguards she had left there.
This was not all. The more the old woman thought about it, the angrier she became.
She had heard from others that Xia Wanyuan had helped others look after the stall that day. That stall owner had earned more than five thousand yuan.
Furthermore, there were many tourists who went to buy sugar figurines the next day. The stall owner’s stall became an Internet celebrity stall. Many people went to take photos and that family became rich.
When it came to her, Xia Wanyuan did not give her any face.
The old woman felt that it was because Xia Wanyuan was unwilling to help her that she had lost thousands of dollars.
Hence, she sat in front of the stall and complained about how heartless Xia Wanyuan was. She was not even willing to do such a small favor and watched her husband live alone in the hospital. Xia Wanyuan was still unwilling to spend some time helping her take care of the stall.
Many of the surrounding stall owners were her usual friends. Hearing her cry, they helped her scold Xia Wanyuan.
Not only did they scold Xia Wanyuan for not helping look after the stall, but they also scolded Xia Wanyuan for being so rich and not knowing to give them some. Seeing that they were still selling things in the cold at such an old age, why was she so unfilial?
The scene of a group of elders sitting around the entrance of the production team was too eye-catching. A media reporter went to interview them. The elders were even more excited when they saw the camera and began to complain about Xia Wanyuan’s “evil deeds”.
They had been setting up stalls at the entrance of the production team for a long time, so they naturally knew how important public opinion was to celebrities in the entertainment industry. Since Xia Wanyuan did not give them money, they would make Xia Wanyuan’s reputation not sound good!
However, to these people’s surprise,
After the old ladies criticized Xia Wanyuan one after another, not only did the reporters not gain any supporters, but they were also scolded very badly.
[ F*ck, bad people have really become old. Are these old witches crazy?? Xia Wanyuan is even willing to lend her bodyguard to you, yet you still find this and that annoying. If you have time, can’t you visit your husband? Looking at how she’s not in a hurry at all, it really makes people suspect that she has a husband. ]
[The person in front, you don’t understand. How can a bodyguard compare to Xia Wanyuan personally watching the stall? How is it because she doesn’t have time? She’s clearly here for Xia Wanyuan’s reputation. I think this old woman is more shrewd than anyone.]
[ I’m speechless. What’s the difference between these people and beggars? Beggars should reach out to others for money. What right does Xia Wanyuan have to give them money? All of them say it so righteously. It makes me angry. ]
After too many reversals, the current netizens would no longer blindly follow the trend when looking at problems. Instead, they would calm down and think about whether what they saw was the truth.
After the netizens scolded online, they still felt that it was not enough to vent their anger. After finding out where these people were selling things, they quickly rushed to the entrance of the production team.
A group of people was cursing Xia Wanyuan for being insensible and unfilial when a group of angry young people suddenly walked over.
“What are you doing? Are Xia Wanyuan’s fans going to bully us?” The vendors shouted at the top of their lungs.
The fans were very angry and helpless. In the end, they could only sit around the vendors. Every time they said something, the fans would retort.
No matter how the elders quarreled, they were not as energetic as the young. Everyone argued for a long time, and in the end, the fans won.
Scrolling through the news online and the Weibo posts shared by netizens, Xia Wanyuan looked relieved.
She could tell that the atmosphere on the Internet was much better now. At least when everyone saw something, they would not blindly scold her. Compared to the explosive scenes last year, it was much more harmonious now.
Xia Wanyuan was watching when Jun Shiling walked in with the documents. Seeing Xia Wanyuan on the chair, he waved at Lin Jing to go out first, then unbuttoned a suit. He stepped forward and picked Xia Wanyuan up, placing her in his arms.
“Hello?!” Xia Wanyuan pushed Jun Shiling in amusement. “Can you take note that we’re in the company?”
Jun Shiling lowered his head and kissed Xia Wanyuan’s lower lip, saying vaguely, “I don’t want to notice.”
After a while, the two of them separated. Xia Wanyuan was already blushing. “What happened to you today?”
Although Jun Shiling was very enthusiastic in the past, he was a little too enthusiastic today.
Jun Shiling leaned on Xia Wanyuan’s shoulder. “It’s nothing. I just miss you. I’ll pack up. Let’s go home.”
“Wait.” Xia Wanyuan stopped Jun Shiling. “I just saw the message on your phone. What happened to Xia Yu?”
Jun Shiling paused and took the phone. He entered a few passwords and the encrypted website opened. “Look.”
Xia Wanyuan followed Jun Shiling’s actions and looked at the information on the website. It showed that Xia Yu had once been injured in a sea battle. After disappearing for half a month, he was found again. His condition was currently stable.
“Xia Yu is injured?” Worry flashed across Xia Wanyuan’s eyes. “Is it serious?”
“It’s nothing.” Jun Shiling shook his head. “The doctor has already seen it. It’s a small injury. Don’t worry.”
“Mm, I haven’t contacted him in a long time. I want to talk to him for a while.” Coincidentally, she had mentioned Xia Yu today, so Xia Wanyuan wanted to use Jun Shiling to see how Xia Yu was doing.
“Okay.” Jun Shiling took out his computer and clicked on a secret contact website. “I’ll help you contact him.”
In Continent F, China’s ship was docked by the coast. On the beach not far away, Xia Yu was kicking the stones aimlessly.
Suddenly, his teammate’s voice sounded. “Xia Yu, the commander is looking for you.”
Xia Yu walked back to the ship unhappily. He took the phone and his eyes lit up instantly. “Sister.”
Xia Wanyuan’s gentle voice came from the video. “How have you been recently? I heard that you’re injured. Is it serious?”
Xia Yu shook his head and raised his arm. “It’s not serious. Sister, look, I can move.”
“Mm, take good care of yourself.” Xia Wanyuan was relieved. She instructed Xia Yu a lot of things before hanging up.
Xia Yu held his phone and felt homesick.
He had never thought much about China after being out for so long. Now that he heard Xia Wanyuan’s voice, he suddenly felt his heart ache.
“Yo, Officer Xia, is this your family calling you again? Sigh, it’s good to have an official family. If you want to contact your family, you can contact them.” Xia Yu was thinking when a dark and thin man walked over.
This person was Zhou Zhou, a member of Xia Yu’s team. Back then, he had entered the team with the same results as Xia Yu. However, this time, after the internal level change, Xia Yu had become the vice-captain, but he was still an ordinary member. He was very unconvinced of Xia Yu.
Xia Yu glanced at him and could not be bothered with him. He put down his phone and prepared to leave.
However, Zhou Zhou blocked his path. “Xia Yu, don’t think that just because you have background, you can act as if no one can provoke you. If you don’t have any relatives who are officials, can you be the vice-captain?”
Xia Yu looked at Zhou Zhou fiercely. “In the last sea battle, you didn’t fight well and missed your opportunity. Don’t always attribute your problems to others.”
Hearing Xia Yu mention the last sea battle, an unnatural look flashed across Zhou Zhou’s face. That day, he had secretly drunk some wine and was sleepy when the enemy came, almost causing a huge mistake.
That was indeed his problem, but when Xia Yu said it, Zhou Zhou felt that Xia Yu was mocking him. “Pfft, don’t keep showing off your contribution in the last sea battle. Who knows if you were really captured by the enemy? I’m afraid you hid somewhere for half a month and came back to take credit.”
“You!” Xia Yu gritted his teeth and grabbed Zhou Zhou’s collar.
“Why?” Zhou Zhou sneered. “Are you going to bully me just because you have a backer?”
In the end, Xia Yu calmed down and pushed Zhou Zhou away. “I can’t be bothered to talk to someone like you who only knows how to blame the heavens.”
Xia Yu left directly, leaving Zhou Zhou with a straight back.
Zhou Zhou spat on the ground. “Pfft, what are you? Let’s see if you can still laugh later.”
Xia Yu left the room and went to the kitchen to get some food. Then, he walked up to the deck to look for a Chinese child he had picked up from the battlefield some time ago.
The child’s parents were Chinese. The father was a Chinese military doctor and the mother was a nurse.
In a war, the two of them died, leaving only a five-year-old child sitting beside his parents’ corpses and crying. Xia Yu saw that he was crying pitifully and brought him back.
Xia Yu walked to the deck and looked around, but he could not find the child.
“Do you see Stone? I asked him to wait for me on the deck.” Xia Yu asked a team member.
The team member recalled. “I think I saw him heading towards that city just now. Why don’t you go there and look for him?”
“Okay,” Xia Yu said and was about to leave.
“Hey, Xia Yu, the ship is leaving the harbor in fifteen minutes. Come back quickly. Don’t waste time.”
As Xia Yu walked forward, he waved his hand. “I know. I’ll be back soon.”
At this moment, a strange aura filled the city not far away.
A little boy of about four or five years old was walking along the street to the place Zhou Zhou had told him.
He liked Brother Xia Yu very much, but a dark and thin big brother had just told him that Xia Yu was sick and was recuperating in the hospital here.
Stone could not help but walk down from the ship, wanting to see Xia Yu.
However, to his disappointment, he could not find Xia Yu after searching for a long time.
Xia Yu entered from the entrance of the city. Just as he entered the market, he felt that something was wrong. He acutely sensed that the air here was filled with an indescribable smell.
Xia Yu subconsciously felt that there was danger. He walked along the street and looked for Stone..
Time passed minute by minute. When it was time for the ship to leave, everyone began to gather.
“Reporting, everyone is here.” It was Zhou Zhou’s turn to be on duty today. He brought people to comb through the people before reporting to the commander.
The officer scanned the name list. “Okay, we just received a mission. We have to go back immediately. Everyone, return to your posts and let’s go!”
“Yes!” Zhou Zhou bowed and turned to leave with a smug smile.
Not long after the ship left the harbor, the ship received news that there was chaos in the coastal city they had just docked.
However, that was someone else’s country and had nothing to do with them.
Although everyone sighed, they did not say anything else. They were only glad that they had left early and did not get implicated.
Hearing this news, Zhou Zhou could not hide the joy on his face.
“Xia Yu, you can’t blame me for this. I just wanted you to be punished. Who asked you to be so unlucky to encounter a riot? You deserve it.”
In the city by the sea, the sudden chaos broke the peace of the city. Amidst the bombardment, everyone covered their heads and fled.
Xia Yu walked along the street and finally saw Stone. At this moment, a man in black was pointing a gun at Stone.
Xia Yu jumped forward and rolled Stone to the side.
“Brother Xia Yu! You’re not sick!” Stone was shocked by the chaos, but his eyes still shone with excitement when he saw Xia Yu.
“Why are you here?” Xia Yu hugged Stone and stuck his head out to see the terrain.
“A very dark brother told me that you were sick and asked me to come and see you.”
Hearing Stone’s words, Xia Yu’s eyes darkened. Zhou Zhou must have deliberately sent Stone here.
However, it was useless for him to think about this now. The most important thing now was to escape safely from here.
“Come, hold my hand.” Xia Yu retracted his head and carefully instructed Stone. “Remember, no matter what, don’t stop. No matter what happens.”
“Okay.” Stone nodded seriously.
Xia Yu pulled him out along various alleys. He had seen the terrain here on the coast just now. There was a forest in the southwest. It was easy to hide inside.
His weapons were all on the ship. Now, he could only walk northwest with a knife.
On the way, they encountered many rebels. Xia Yu finished them with a slash. Hot blood spewed out and splashed on him and Stone. Stone was so frightened that his eyes were filled with tears, but he still remembered Xia Yu’s words. No matter what, he did not stop.
After some time, they could finally see the entrance to the forest. At this moment, the enemy had discovered Xia Yu and Stone. A group of people rushed over. Xia Yu picked up Stone and threw him toward a tree not far away, while he tore off a piece of clothing and quickly lit it.
Smelling the wine fragrance in the air, Xia Yu instinctively brought the cloth to the room in front. As expected, there were a large number of wine cans inside.
Xia Yu threw the wine out, then threw the burning cloth over. The flames immediately soared.
The climate here was dry, and a single spark was enough to cause a fire. Soon, the enemy’s path was blocked by the fire.
Through the rising flames, they could see Xia Yu’s running figure. The enemy had no choice but to take out his gun and shoot. Then, he watched Xia Yu’s figure disappear into the forest.
No one would give up their original mission because of this person who had run away. Seeing that capturing Xia Yu was fruitless, they returned.
In the dense forest, Stone’s eyes lit up when he heard footsteps. “Brother Xia Yu.”
Xia Yu walked towards him and fell when he was a step away from Stone.
Stone hurriedly ran over. “Brother, what’s wrong?”
When he supported Xia Yu, he realized that Xia Yu’s back was already covered in blood. Two bullets had hit his back.
Xia Yu frowned and completely lost consciousness.
Stone had experienced such a scene a few days ago. That time, his parents had been shot and died in his arms. Now, seeing Xia Yu fall into his arms and Stone was still a child, he could not help but cry.
“Brother Xia Yu, wake up.” He wanted to drag Xia Yu up, but he could not move him at all. Instead, whenever Xia Yu moved, blood would flow out of his body, scaring him so much that he did not dare to move anymore.
Seeing that Xia Yu was about to die, there was nothing he could do. Stone’s cries became louder.
“Little friend, what’s wrong? Who’s injured?” Just as he was about to lose all hope, an English female voice suddenly came from behind.
Stone turned around. Behind him was a Chinese woman in a simple shirt with her hair tied up high.
Seeing the child’s face, Lin Yi was a little surprised. She hurriedly stepped forward and changed to Chinese. “Is this your father? Move aside first. I’m a doctor. I’ll give him first aid.”
Stone hurriedly retreated and stood aside.
The dense forest was so quiet that there was only the sound of insects and birds. Time passed minute by minute.
The sunlight fell from the east to the west. It was only when night fell that Lin Yi finally stood up. “Alright, this place is too close to the city. It’s not safe. I’ll go make a drag. We have to leave quickly and walk in.”
In the dense forest late at night, Lin Yi used the vines to make a drag and carefully led Xia Yu forward. Stone followed behind with the medical kit, afraid that the enemy would detect them. The three of them did not even turn on their flashlights and relied on some plants in the dense forest that glowed at night to watch the way.
——
In China, Feng Wuyou went out and returned to Xuan Sheng’s place. The moment she entered, she took off her cashmere coat and revealed the sling shirt she was wearing.
Xuan Sheng glanced at it. “Wear your clothes properly.”
Feng Wuyou snorted softly. “Tsk, tsk, tsk. In the past, you even said that I was good-looking. Now, you’re even avoiding suspicion. With our relationship, do we still need to avoid suspicion, boyfriend?”
Xuan Sheng could not be bothered to talk nonsense with her. He took a blanket and threw it at her.
Feng Wuyou flipped her hair and blinked at Xuan Sheng. “Hey, I met Xia Wanyuan on the way today.”
Hearing Xia Wanyuan’s name, Xuan Sheng’s eyes subconsciously flickered.
Feng Wuyou smiled. “Tsk, tsk, tsk. As expected, to be honest, that Xia Wanyuan is really good-looking. That temperament. Aiyo, if I were a man, I would like her too. No wonder she can make King Xuan fall in love.”
Xuan Sheng’s head hurt from her noise. “Can you go to your room and leave me alone?”
“That won’t do.” Feng Wuyou lit a cigarette and took a puff. Her lipstick reflected on the cigarette butt, leaving a faint circle of red. “I’m your-.”
“If you’re not leaving, I’ll leave.” Xuan Sheng really regretted letting Feng Wuyou return to China.
“Don’t. I still want to hear you tell me about your relationship with Xia Wanyuan. Sigh, why didn’t you chase her You can’t do it. If I had returned to China earlier to be your strategist, do you think you would have wooed her long ago?”
Xuan Sheng took a deep breath. “If you disturb me again, I’ll email your family and tell them where you are.” With that, Xuan Sheng pushed open the door and left. He took the elevator downstairs and drove to the company in one go.
It was already one in the morning, and there were few cars and pedestrians on the road.
Xuan Sheng slowed down and slowly looked at the night sky.
Suddenly, he slowed down even more and rolled up the window.
Not far away, a group of people were escorting a woman to the car. The woman seemed to struggle, but she was quickly stopped.
He had just met that woman once. She was Xia Wanyuan’s cousin.
