?50: Chapter 050: The Mastermind Appears 50: Chapter 050: The Mastermind Appears Liu Sanjian and Hong Yaoyao drove the two women at high speed until they finally stopped at a seaside villa.

    Xu Ruolan looked at the seaside villa, which was heavily guarded both inside and out, forming a very strict enclosure.

    Not until they entered the villa did they see a suave and dashing young master sitting in the hall, looking extremely handsome.

    Xu Ruolan gave the man a curious glance, for she did not recognize him.

    She had thought that this time she would see the hidden mastermind, who must be someone she knew.

    Xu Ruolan grew even more wary of the mastermind behind the scenes, who was meticulous in their actions, refusing to show themselves and obviously being very cautious.

    “The beautiful CEO of Xu Corporation, yet you are as stunning as a celestial being, captivating the entire nation.

    No wonder so many have set their sights on you,”

    the young master said politely.

    Xu Ruolan asked, “Who are you?”

    “I’m just a nobody.

    There’s no need for you to know that.

    All you need to know is that we are going to send you to heaven,” he replied.

    Xu Ruolan said coldly, “Why did you kidnap us?”

    The young master smiled slightly, stood up, and walked a circle around Xu Ruolan before coming to face her.

    “Miss Xu, I wouldn’t want such a beauty like you to suffer the slightest grievance, I wouldn’t bear to see it,” he said.

    He looked interestedly into Xu Ruolan’s icy eyes, then his tone changed abruptly, “However, someone has offered a large sum for your lives, so I had no choice but to oblige.”

    Xu Ruolan only regretted that she couldn’t find the real murderer before dying.

    She was disheartened, knowing there was no chance of survival, only pitying Ning Fan for losing his life.

    For no reason, Ning Fan had lost his life because of her, and she felt a deep sense of guilt.

    Then, she glared at these people and said coldly, “If you’re going to kill, then kill!”

    Xu Xiaoqing, on the other hand, had not yet recovered from Ning Fan’s death because he had died for them.

    Her heart ached, and with Ning Fan’s death, her heart died too.

    No matter what was happening outside, she kept murmuring Ning Fan’s name, “Stupid fool, I caused your death, it’s all my fault, all my fault…”

    Xu Ruolan leaned against Xu Xiaoqing, her expression growing dimmer again.

    Because of her, her sister’s life had to be sacrificed too…

    Who exactly was the hidden mastermind?

    The refined young master did not make a move but gently lifted Xu Ruolan’s chin, saying lightly,

    “Didn’t you want to meet the mastermind behind the scenes?

    You shall see them before your death.”

    “Let go of your hand!” Xu Ruolan turned her head away, refusing to let the refined young master touch her, glaring at him fiercely.

    “So very cold, you almost froze me to death.” The refined young master released his grip, “Here comes the main guest.”

    A luxury car arrived outside the villa, and first, two bodyguards emerged from it.

    Next, a middle-aged fat man stepped out; he was overweight and his face was piled with fatty flesh that seemed like it would ooze oil with just a bit of sun exposure. Sear?h the N?velFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    Under the protection of his entourage, the middle-aged fat man briskly walked into the villa as if in a hurry.

    As the middle-aged man entered the villa,

    Xu Ruolan looked up at the newcomer.

    She recognized the middle-aged fat man in an instant, the big coal mine boss of Zhonghai City: Hong Shanzhe!

    Her heart turned as cold as if it had dropped into an ice cellar.

    She knew this Hong Shanzhe, having defeated him in a business competition once.

    Was he really trying to take her life just because of that one business defeat?

    Xu Ruolan swept a cold glance at Hong Shanzhe, finding the middle-aged fat man extremely repulsive, unable to find a reason not to loathe him.

    Upon seeing Xu Ruolan and Xu Xiaoqing, Hong Shanzhe burst into loud laughter, his layers of fat jiggling, the expression on his face ghastly.

    “Oh, isn’t this the so-called ice queen of Zhonghai City’s business circle?

    How come?

    I didn’t invite you, so why did you show up on your own accord?”

    Hong Shanzhe, as a business celebrity in Zhonghai City, once competed with the Xu Corporation for a project.

    But Xu Ruolan sabotaged his competition, and she snatched the project away, causing him a direct loss of over a hundred million.

    The duck that was almost in his hands flew away, and the sheep he was about to shear disappeared.

    This left Hong Shanzhe extremely frustrated.

    Therefore, Hong Shanzhe began to hate Xu Ruolan and had been looking for an opportunity to take revenge on her.

    However, Xu Ruolan’s Xu Corporation was tight as a drum, and it was much tougher than his coal mining company.

    There was no good way to deal with the Xu family.

    Just when he was feeling disheartened, not long ago, someone came to him.

    That person directly told him, “Boss Hong, your losses aren’t small, right?

    I can help you take revenge, get rid of the woman you’re sick of.”

    Upon meeting that person, Hong Shanzhe was elated.

    Because the identity of this behind-the-scenes player was astonishing.

    With his help, wouldn’t Xu Ruolan be an easy catch?

    This got Hong Shanzhe thinking all sorts of ideas, contemplating removing Xu Ruolan and overturning the Xu Corporation.

    The incident with the Evil Gu not long ago was their first move.

    However, their plan was ruined by Ning Fan, so they had to speed up the process and move from an assassination to going public!

    In the end, Xu Ruolan was right in front of him.

    “Tsk, tsk, truly an ice queen beauty, watching you is enough to stir one’s heart, and this little beauty here, crying her eyes out, is quite to my taste too,” he said.

    Hong Shanzhe’s face showed a greedy expression.

    The biggest player behind the scenes hadn’t said he couldn’t do something to the two women before they died.

    Besides, since this mastermind had entrusted him with the task, he should be aware of the consequences.

    As for the others, they were naturally not here; this cunning fox of his would not easily show his face.

    Hong Shanzhe looked at the stunning beauties in front of him, which made his body feel hot and his mouth water.

    He squinted his eyes and said with a smirk, “My beauties, if you spend one night with me, and if you serve me well, I might just let you go.”

    “Shameless!”

    Xu Ruolan shouted furiously at Hong Shanzhe, but being in the hands of such a person only made her feel even less sure of herself.

    “Shameless?”

    Hong Shanzhe repeated Xu Ruolan’s words.

    The real shameless actions were yet to come, not taking advantage of the two beauties in front of him would be a waste.

    He laughed heartily and said, “I am shameless.

    These are the Xu family’s two jewels.

    Having a bit of fun with them would make even a ghost live a charming life!”

    As he spoke, the middle-aged fat man swallowed his saliva and reached toward Xu Ruolan’s tender face, which seemed like it could drip water.

    His sleazy body also pressed toward Xu Ruolan…

    Others in the hall, aware of Hong Shanzhe’s nature, knew he wouldn’t put an end to it without doing violence to the two women.

    As they were only paid to do a job, naturally there was no need for them to stop Hong Shanzhe.

    They merely stepped back, choosing to look away for the time being.

    “Pah!”

    Xu Ruolan spat directly into Hong Shanzhe’s face.

    Greatly annoyed, Hong Shanzhe wiped his face but rejoiced, saying:

    “There’s no woman I can’t conquer.

    You may be like an iceberg, but I’ll make sure you scream for daddy!”

    With that, he straightened his large belly, rested his hands on Xu Ruolan’s fragrant shoulders, and his fat face drew closer.
