I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 124

Being overprotective, Song Rongrong stood right in front of Shi Nuan, refusing to let them take her friend away. Liang Lin raised an eyebrow and his gaze fell on Song Rongrong.

Knowing who she was, he adjusted his glasses and smiled like a gentleman. “This lady here must be your friend. Look at how in pain she is now. If we don’t take her to the hospital, I can’t guarantee what will happen to her.”

“You…” Song Rongrong looked at Shi Nuan in panic and bit her lip. “Then I’ll go with her. God knows who you people are!”

“That’s certainly permissible,” Liang Lin said with a raised brow before glancing at Song Rongrong and Su Yian. “In that case, the two of you should follow her to the doctor!”

Saying that, Liang Lin beckoned at the men in black to carry Shi Nuan and leave. Song Rongrong and Su Yian exchanged glances, then they picked up Shi Nuan’s purse and followed them.

Qin Yue wanted to go too, but was impeded by the burly men whom Liang Lin had brought along. “Move aside!” Qin Yue was livid and anxious.

But the men in black remained still, despite how much Qin Yue struggled. They surrounded him in a group.

“What’s the meaning of this?” Somebody finally realized that the situation wasn’t as simple as it seemed. “What are you trying to do?”

“What are we trying to do?” Liang Lin’s lips curled. “You sure have some guts to cause a stir at Prosperous Dynasty! Consider yourselves unlucky that our bosses happen to be here today. If we don’t do something about this, our bosses aren’t going to let us off.”

Liang Lin made it clear what kind of place Prosperous Dynasty was.

It was a famous entertainment center in Jiang City, but few people knew who it belonged to. It was said that all who came here were filthy rich, and many were curious to find out who the big boss behind this place was. Yet, to this day, no one found out the owner’s identity.

With their status, there was no way they could have entered this place. It was because of Liu Min and Song Shen that they could come, but who knew such a thing would happen during their first visit here?

“You… You can’t do this. Even though there is a problem, no one has investigated this matter yet! How can you be so sure it was us?” Anna yelled at Liang Lin with a trace of guilt.

She had never met Liang Lin, so she naturally didn’t know who he was, and she certainly didn’t know who Prosperous Dynasty belonged to. “You have no right to detain us! This is illegal!”

“Illegal?” Liang Lin sneered. His eyes gleamed behind his glasses.

Liang Ling didn’t learn much while staying by Li Heng and Fu Chengyan’s side for this long, but his presence was enough to frighten someone to death. Moreover, Liang Lin had always been the type who looked gentle but was sinister on the inside. He wasn’t a kind-hearted man and had even less patience for those who could potentially cause harm to Fu Chengyan’s wife.

“I’m really sorry, sir!”

Liu Min rushed over and jumped in shock upon seeing this spectacle. “My friend didn’t mean it. Umm… My husband is Song Shen. I was the one who invited everyone over. See…”

“Song Shen?” Liang Lin’s eyes shone.

Sensing something, Liu Min continued, “Yes. I’m sure you know my husband, Song Shen. He’s…”

“So you’re Mrs. Song!” Liang Lin smiled, but the very next moment, he said, “Sorry, even if Mr. Song himself comes, you still don’t get to leave.”

Liu Min’s expression changed instantly and she now realized the weight of the issue. She looked around but saw no sign of Shi Nuan. “Sir, we really came here just for a party. We have no idea what happened. It’s not wise to cause such a scene, considering how many people there are here.”

“Take them down!” Liang Lin simply cut Liu Min off and his smile vanished. “Perhaps you’re not aware of Prosperous Dynasty’s rules, Mrs. Song, but I’ve never met anyone who causes trouble here and gets to live to see the next day,” he said calmly while casting a sharp look on everyone. “And it’s not just the few of you; nobody in Prosperous Dynasty gets to leave!”

“Huh? How did it end up like this!?”

“What’s happening!?”

“It’s all Shi Nuan’s fault, going to the bathroom for no reason! She must have offended someone!”

“What a jinx!”

“Down they go!” Liang Lin’s expression darkened. He never dared say anything negative about Mrs. Fu, yet these people were grumbling about Shi Nuan despite being the ones who harmed her. He had no mercy for them.

The term ‘endure’ never existed in Fu Chengyan’s dictionary.

Liang Lin also knew Fu Chengyan’s methods well. These people weren’t just going to be detained.

As the row of people were taken away by Liang Lin’s subordinates, men in black guarded every door and window of the building’s entire floor. Not a single person was allowed a way out.

Anna was terrified, probably due to her guilty conscience. She relentlessly grabbed onto Shi Wei’s hand. “What should we do, Wei!?”

“What are you doing? Let go of me!” Shi Wei said while glaring at Anna. “Calm down. Nothing has even happened yet, so what are you scared of?”

Seeing how terrified Anna looked, Shi Wei asked, “What on earth did you do? Didn’t I tell you not to do anything reckless?”

“I…” Anna began to panic, but could only swallow her own tears in front of Shi Wei. “I couldn’t stand her picking on you.”

“Is that so? I think you just couldn’t stand Qin Yue constantly paying attention to Shi Nuan!” Shi Wei wasn’t going to let herself be dragged into this mess by Anna. “Seriously, don’t you know what kind of place Prosperous Dynasty is? You actually dare cause trouble here!?”

“That’s enough! Stop talking about it, “Su Su said while giving Shi Wei and Anna a look. “There are people watching us!”

Shi Wei and Anna looked around. True enough, those men in black weren’t just watching them; they were observing every little movement they made.

Liu Min was beyond frantic. She paced back and forth. She looked towards her group of classmates, then eventually decided to walk towards Liang Lin. “Sir, I still don’t think it’s good to keep us detained here. Can… Can I give my husband a call?”

Liang Lin curled his lips and made a gentlemanly gesture. “Of course you may, Mrs. Song. Your friends can use their phones too. But I must warn you beforehand: your loved ones are allowed to come in and look for you, but once they’re in, there’s no going back out!”

Liu Min froze for a moment, but eventually decided to call Song Shen. The others also began to call their respective family members.

Shi Nuan and her friends were brought into a room to settle down. Shi Nuan had been bitten by a snake, so she was in a near-unconscious state. Song Rongrong and Su Yian ran around looking for water and wet towels to help lower Shi Nuan’s temperature.

“Who could have done this to Nuan? And what is the boss of Prosperous Dynasty thinking? Nuan can’t go on like this!” Su Yian panicked.

Song Rongrong was frantic too. She considered for a moment, and just as she got up to open the door, someone opened it from the outside.

The man who walked in was so intimidating that the room instantly turned chilly. “Chengyan?” Song Rongrong was agape.

Fu Chengyan narrowed his eyes, not bothering Song Rongrong and Su Yian. He quickly walked over to Shi Nuan’s side and scooped her up. “May?”

Shi Nuan felt awful. Amidst her feverish state, she caught a glimpse of Fu Chengyan’s handsome face. But the face looked extremely cold and a deep worry filled the man’s eyes. Shi Nuan reached out to straighten out the creases between Fu Chengyan’s eyebrows, but he grabbed onto her hand. “Does it hurt, May?”

Shi Nuan nodded. “Is that you, Yan? You’re here?”

“Mhm!” Fu Chengyan nodded and gently kissed Shi Nuan on the hand. “I’m here now. You’ll be fine.”

Fu Chengyan sounded especially gentle. After comforting Shi Nuan, he looked up. “Get in here already!”

Su Shaoqing was leaning against the door and couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow, seeing how quickly Fu Chengyan’s demeanor changed. But he was a person who could read how serious the atmosphere was, and he quickly walked in to examine Shi Nuan’s injury. “She’s been poisoned?”

“Yes. I heard from Qin Yue that Nuan was bitten by a venomous snake,” Song Rongrong quickly answered and pointed to Shi Nuan’s leg. “Right there.”

Su Shaoqing looked over and his expression changed slightly. “Thankfully, the poisoned blood has been removed. But I’m worried that it hasn’t been cleaned up well, so we should get her to the hospital right away.”

Hearing that, Fu Chengyan took off his jacket and put it on Shi Nuan before carrying her in his arms.

He began to walk outside, but he stopped at the door and turned to Shi Nuan’s friends. “I’m not going to let this matter off. Surely the two of you know who could’ve done this to May.”

Song Rongrong and Su Yian immediately nodded. “Among all the people who came today, the ones who have something against us would be Shi Wei, Anna and rest of their gang. It’s probably them.”

A dim light flashed in Fu Chengyan’s eyes. “I don’t want any probabilities. I need a confirmation,” he said. “Zhou Zheng, take Ms. Song and Ms. Su to the hall. Run a check on every person they suspect.”

“Yes sir!” Zhou Zheng looked up. “Then should anything be done to Shi Wei?”

Fu Chengyan frowned and glanced at Shi Nuan. “Go after them one by one when you find out who’s behind this. As for Shi Wei… We’ll have plenty of time for her later!”

As Fu Chengyan left with Shi Nuan in his arms, Song Rongrong exchanged glances with Su Yian, coming to the conclusion that once their brother-in-law was ticked off, things would get messy! But what was this strangely exciting feeling?

Zhou Zheng glanced at Song Rongrong and Su Yian before saying, “Ms. Song, Ms. Su, please come with me.”

“Oh, OK.” The two women quickly followed behind Zhou Zheng. “Mr. Zhou, if Shi Wei and Anna really are the ones behind this, what do you plan to do?”

Zhou Zheng scoffed, “Anyone who dares touch Mr. Fu’s people never lives to see the next sunrise!”
