Chapter 53 - 53. Timing and Schemes (1)

"What did you say? Lin Shengxia is missing?" Fu Wanyi looked at Lin Yixiong pacing back and forth in front of her, and couldn't help but smile.

It would be better if Lin Shengxia didn't come back, then the Lin family business would belong to Wenwen from now on.

Despite these thoughts, Fu Wanyi quickly concealed them on her face.

"Yi Xiong, this matter must not be known to the media! Do you remember the sensational case of the kidnapping of the daughter of a Taiwanese female celebrity? Wasn't it because of the media's excessive sensationalism and unscrupulous reporting that the daughter was killed? The scene when she died was so tragic!" Fu Wanyi pretended to shudder and spoke with a solemn expression.

Lin Yixiong was stunned, and the veins on his forehead bulged.

"So even if Sheng Xia really has been kidnapped, we must keep a low profile. Besides, the Lin Group has just weathered a crisis and its future is still uncertain. If news of Sheng Xia's situation gets out, the stock price will definitely fluctuate again!"

Fu Wanyi's eloquent and thorough analysis of the stakes made Lin Yixiong retract his hand, which was originally about to call the police.

It's only a matter of time before the media finds out about Lin Shengxia's disappearance, as long as the police are informed!

Little did Lin Yixiong know that while Fu Wanyi appeared to be acting for Lin Shengxia and the Lin family, every word she uttered was actually for her own benefit. She wished Lin Shengxia would die quietly and even hoped that the Lin family business, now without Lin Shengxia, would obediently be handed over to her and her daughter.

"Okay! We'll do it your way!"

Even if Lin Yixiong didn't know Fu Wanyi's thoughts, he certainly had his own ulterior motives.

Silence reigned once more.

...

Lin Shengxia didn't scream for help like an ordinary woman. She knew very well that even if she screamed until her throat was hoarse, it probably wouldn't change Gu Zekai's mind. Fortunately, she was better off conserving her energy.

She clutched the sharp scalpel tightly in her hand; it was her only lifeline now.

"Gu Zekai, if you want to get rid of this child, I'll have to die."

Lin Shengxia's voice was very calm, even a little too calm.

Her eyes and brows did not show the panic of an ordinary woman. She leaned against the wall with a triangular belt, and from Lin Shengxia's position, she could see the movements of everyone in the room.

Gu Zekai crossed his arms over his chest. He had imagined a thousand different reactions from Lin Shengxia, but he never expected that she could remain rational even at a time like this, and even warn him!

"Even if you die, I will never let you leave this child behind."

Unfortunately, Gu Zekai was no saint either. He curled his thin lips into a cold laugh.

Lin Shengxia was on edge. She faced him directly and had to admit that Gu Zekai was indeed a handsome man, but the disgust and coldness in his eyes at this moment made her heart ache.

Suddenly, Lin Shengxia laughed.

She was already beautiful, and her smile was as captivating as a pear blossom on a branch.

Gu Zekai frowned, not understanding why Lin Shengxia could still laugh at this moment, but he had to admit that her laughter had a captivating power.

But then Lin Shengxia raised her hand, which was tightly gripping the scalpel, and the sharp blade instantly sliced through the delicate skin of her neck.

Yin-Hong's Blood—

It flowed down along the snow-white skin—
