Forsaken By Love

He Lixue narrowed her eyes when she heard what the people who had appeared said. Although she hoped that what they said was true, she could not help but feel that it was too coincidental. 

Even so, she had no other option than to follow them right now. She was already right in front of them, and if she started fighting against them, then the guards from the Organization might be alerted. That way, her only chance of escape would have been wasted.

He Lixue grit her teeth and nodded her head. "I am He Lixue," she admitted unwillingly, and the leader of the group smiled. 

"We already saw a picture of you, but if you had declined, we had been given the task of leaving you alone. Lu Nanfeng does not want to force you to come back if you do not wish to do so."

Hearing this, He Lixue's heart ached painfully, and while she was still doubtful towards this rescue team, she really wished to believe in them.

Seeing that she made no signs of escaping from them, and that she seemed to be hoping for the best, the leader took a deep breath of relief.

While it was true that Lu Nanfeng had said that they should let her go if she so wished, Wen Sihan had told them that they had to bring her back no matter what. 

While they listened to Lu Nanfeng, they belonged to Wen Sihan, and thus they had to follow his orders unconditionally. 

He Lixue was unaware of this, but she could guess that they had not made such a big stir in the base of the Organization just to hear what her opinion was on the whole kidnapping incident. 

The group moved out from the underground tunnel and back to the surface level of the village in which the branch was located.

What greeted He Lixue made her stunned, and then she could not help but laugh. 

The ground was littered with tightly bound guards from the Organization, all of them lying on the ground with their heads turned towards the soil.

It was clear that there were none dead, but they had all been mistreated quite severely. However, He Lixue did not have it in herself to pity them. These people had kidnapped her and kept her away from Lu Nanfeng for so long; it was only natural that she wanted petty revenge.

Although she had not been treated badly, she had not been willing to be kept captive either. 

The group who had surrounded He Lixue exited the village, after which they boarded an entourage of SUVs. 

After entering the car, He Lixue could not help but look into the ceiling and pray that she had made the right decision. Hopefully, she had not jumped from the embers into the fire. 

But soon she found that it was indeed the right decision. The SUVs were all driving towards the capital again, and as they entered the capital, they started splitting up. The one that He Lixue was in drove straight to Lu Nanfeng's mansion. 

When seeing the familiar area, and the familiar house, He Lixue felt a lump appear in her throat and tears welled up in her eyes. She suddenly felt like she was coming home, but while the house was comfortable, she missed something very important. The most important of them all. 

As the car stopped in front of the building, He Lixue was the first to open the door and rush into the building. It looked exactly the same as she remembered, and she could not help but rush towards the study room where she expected Lu Nanfeng to be waiting for her.

As she reached the study, she gently opened the door, the tears were swirling in her eyes, and her body was trembling. It was not before now that it truly hit her how close she had been to never returning to Lu Nanfeng's side, and she found that thought even more terrifying than when Mo Yunhuang became angry.

As she opened the door, she heard two voices talking together in a foreign language. It was not a language she could recognize, and she could not help but frown. Who was he speaking with? 

But the answer was found when she opened the door. She saw Wan Sihan seated next to Lu Nanfeng.

Having previously been part of the Organization for as long as she had, she clearly knew who Wen Sihan was. 

He came from another country, and he was only twenty-seven years old this year, but he had taken over the entire underground market in his country. He had slowly stretched his paws towards the neighboring countries until he had the whole continent under control. 

Now it seemed that he was aiming for even more, he had often approached the territory that belonged to the Organization with the intent of stealing it, but up until now, he had been beaten back.

It seemed that he had made a deal with Lu Nanfeng and they somehow managed to reach an agreement. Likely this agreement meant that the Organization was to cease to exist while Wen Sihan took over their trade routes and territory.

But how had Lu Nanfeng managed to get in contact with such a person? He Lixue did not know. 

But right now, she could not care less. The tears that had been in her eyes for a long time swirled out of control, dropping from her eyelashes one after another. 

She looked pitiful and adorable, and Lu Nanfeng, who had noticed her the moment she opened the door, felt his heart soften and melt, hurt and ache when he saw her crying like this.
