CHAPTER 385: CHAPTER 385: END

On the other side, Jiang Guosheng and Yu Man had been chased out of the old Fu Family residence and had run around outside for a good while before they dared to return to Jiang Tairan’s hospital room.

As soon as Jiang Tairan saw them return, he immediately pressed them for information: "How did it go? Did Moxi agree to let you attend as her relatives?"

Jiang Guosheng and Yu Man silently exchanged a look, then shook their heads.

Jiang Tairan instantly smashed the water cup from the bedside table at their feet: "Useless! All of you are useless!"

Yu Man tried to explain: "Dad, we did visit the Fu Family and met with Old Madam Fu. But the misunderstandings that Moxi and Third Master Fu have about us are just too deep, it’s really not something that can be resolved so quickly."

But Jiang Tairan was still shouting: "What can’t be resolved? Moxi is your daughter, just a few soft words from you, and I refuse to believe she can completely harden her heart against you. In the end, it’s just the two of you who are incompetent! The Jiang Family has no room for the incompetent, get out of here now and never come back!"

Seeing Jiang Tairan getting seriously angry and wanting to kick them out of the Jiang Family, Jiang Guosheng hurriedly took out something they had found after running around all afternoon.

"Dad, although we haven’t managed to change Moxi’s mind in such a short time, we have found their wedding invitations for tomorrow."

Jiang Tairan’s expression paused when he saw the wedding invitations.

Yu Man quickly added: "You come with us, and at that time, we’ll move Moxi with family affection and manipulate public opinion. Even if Moxi wants to disown us, it’ll be difficult!"

Jiang Tairan thought this was actually a good plan, so he took the invitation...

On the other side, at Tianqin Bay—

Fu Youhan had just entered the house when he tidied up Jiang Moxi.

Jiang Moxi felt sticky and uncomfortable all over her body, so she gave Fu Youhan a kick: "Go run a bath for me."

Fu Youhan quickly did as told, and even offered to carry Jiang Moxi to the bathroom attentively.

But she earnestly refused him: "If you come again, we might oversleep for the wedding tomorrow!"

So Fu Youhan calmed down: "After the wedding ceremony tomorrow, we’ll properly make up for it."

Jiang Moxi rolled her eyes at him and wrapped herself in a bath towel to take a bath.

Fu Youhan originally wanted to tease her some more, but just then, his phone suddenly rang.

He didn’t know if it was the suddenness of the phone ringing in the middle of the night or what, but Fu Youhan suddenly had a bad premonition.

Frowning, Fu Youhan answered the call.

On the other end of the line, Chi Jing’s voice was urgent: "Third Young Master, we just received news that a large number of Orion Mercenaries have arrived in Yan City."

"What?" Fu Youhan’s expression changed.

Because he had also heard that Orion Mercenary Corps and Dead Ghost had sworn to stop at nothing until the other was dead.

It was said that back then, Dead Ghost had single-handedly broken into the stronghold of Orion and killed their second-in-command, which sparked their enmity.

Afterward, to avenge their second-in-command, Orion Mercenary Corps not only sent countless top assassins after Dead Ghost, they also offered a bounty of one billion US dollars for his head.

But the bounty remained unclaimed, and countless of Orion’s men fell in the process.

In recent years, Orion has restrained themselves, no longer provoking Dead Ghost, instead focusing on recruiting and strengthening their ranks.

Everyone thought that Orion had given up on their vendetta against Dead Ghost.

But now it seemed they had merely been quietly growing stronger, waiting for the right moment to deliver a fatal blow to Dead Ghost.

So now, had the news of Dead Ghost appearing in Yan City been leaked to Orion? Were they planning to ambush Dead Ghost?

For a moment, Fu Youhan felt as if he was drenched in ice-cold water.

Why would they act on the eve of his wedding to Jiang Moxi?

Can’t he just wait until he has finished the wedding with Jiang Moxi, then he could free up his hands to deal with these people properly!

However, the crisis looms at this moment; could it be that he needs to temporarily halt the wedding to deal with the bloodshed?

But if he stops the wedding at this point, Jiang Moxi will definitely get angry.

And it’s not just Jiang Moxi; he wouldn’t know how to explain to Suchen and Lai De either...

What should he do now?

"Third Master, what should we do now?" Chi Jing’s voice pulled Fu Youhan’s drifting consciousness back.

"First, find a group to protect Wen You until I’ve finished the wedding," Fu Youhan’s voice became low and husky.

"But the other party consists of mercenaries who are not afraid of death, which are not something our hires can handle. Why don’t you come over first, deal with the problem, and then finish the wedding with Miss Jiang?"

Chi Jing suggested this, considering the level of danger.

However, Fu Youhan quickly replied, "No. If I don’t finish the wedding this time, Xixi might really leave me."

Chi Jing did not expect that Fu Youhan’s insistence on finishing the wedding was because he feared Jiang Moxi would break up with him, so he advised:

"You managed to coax Miss Jiang once, you can definitely do it again. Why not postpone the wedding and deal with the Orion guys first?"

But Fu Youhan rejected the idea again, "I said no. She was so angry last time that she almost left this place. If it happens again, she might never want anything to do with me for the rest of her life."

Wanting to avoid any further suggestions from Chi Jing, Fu Youhan interrupted before Chi Jing could speak: "Hire another group to enter the country and protect Wen You!"

After conveying his instructions concisely, Fu Youhan hung up the phone and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

The whole Yan City was still brightly lit, extremely bustling.

But Fu Youhan knew deep down that Yan City was about to change dramatically...

Anticipating some terrifying bloodshed, Fu Youhan lit a cigarette.

But the damned nicotine seemed incapable of suppressing the restlessness in his heart.

Until his waist was embraced...

Fu Youhan looked down and saw Jiang Moxi’s slender arms wrapped around his waist.

Her arms were as white as snow, forming a stark contrast with his black bathrobe, like polished white jade, providing a strong visual impact.

"What’s wrong? Feeling upset? Did something happen?"

Jiang Moxi’s lazy voice came from behind him.

Jiang Moxi leaned her face against Fu Youhan’s back, but her eyes were wide open, showing a trace of hesitation and unease.

Actually, she was very tired just now, and after a quick rinse, she came out and clearly heard that Fu Youhan had sent someone to protect Wen You.

A single sentence, like a needle piercing her heart, invisible but painfully sharp.

She couldn’t understand why Fu Youhan, who was about to have a wedding with her, still needed to care about another woman’s safety.

She tried to step forward, initiating conversations, wanting Fu Youhan to explain his relationship with Wen You.

If Fu Youhan was willing to tell her all that, Jiang Moxi was even prepared to confess to him that she was actually Dead Ghost.

But Fu Youhan said, "It’s nothing. Don’t overthink things."

In Jiang Moxi’s mind suddenly emerged the words Fu Wangning had said about her inability to replace Wen You, that she was always an expendable substitute in Fu Youhan’s heart.

At that moment, she felt like someone drowning.

She tried to call out for help to the man standing ashore, but he cruelly chose to ignore her, letting her slowly be consumed by water and darkness.

Feeling utterly disheartened, Jiang Moxi released her hands from the man’s waist...
