Chapter 859 - Settling Scores

Bai Qinghao held Fang Xinxin in his arms as he climbed up the ladder. Ya Lun followed after.

The three of them left the island on the helicopter.

It took two more days before the fire completely stopped.

Thankfully, the location was largely isolated and it did not cause any disturbances.

…

In a blink of an eye, it had been two weeks since Fang Xinxin, Bai Qinghao and Ya Lun returned to the country.

After the bullet was retrieved from Ya Lun's arm, he made a full recovery. He then took a team of men with him abroad to destroy Dark Moon's base. As a result, the leader of Dark Moon was now forced to be on the run.

Bai Qinghao remained by Fang Xinxin's side in the Yu Ting Villa the entire time.

During the fire, Fang Xinxin had to endure the cold water and the lack of food. She had fallen sick the moment she came home.

Thankfully, after a long rest, she had mostly recovered. Her skin had also turned much fairer.

Fang Xinxin stood in the old Bai mansion's backyard. She recalled her father and grandfather's overjoyed reaction when she first made it home.

Bai Chongshan, Bai Hong and Ye Yunzhi had also been overwhelmed and it seemed like they were on the verge of tears.

In the period that the two of them had been missing, the five elders were so consumed with worry that they barely ate or slept.

Thus, Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin stayed in the Long family's villa for a week before moving to the old Bai family's mansion so as to spend some time with all of them.

She learned that while they had been missing, the Bai and Long family had sent out almost all of their subordinates to search for them.

Even her brother, Fang Shaohua, stopped searching for Sun Jiamu to look for her.

After all, her elder brother was certain that Sun Jiamu was safe from the regular letters she wrote to her parents. Fang Xinxin, however, had been completely missing.

Her brother had also been overjoyed by her return and soon returned to busying himself with searching for Sun Jiamu.

Fang Xinxin strolled comfortably in the Bai family's yard. From afar, Bai Chenxi watched her with a hint of unhappiness in his gaze.

He dearly wished to approach her. However, ever since her return, Bai Qinghao had sent his men to beat him up whenever he tried to do so.

After repeated incidents, he now only dared to watch her from a distance.

She was truly becoming more and more beautiful.

She was now a university graduate. Her grandfather, Long Jingyuan, had already announced that she was set to inherit the entire Long Group.

She was the heiress of a powerful family with over a hundred years of history. She was also the world renowned fashion designer, Alice, and the director of Jiao Yang Finance Group.

Moreover, she had married the most revered man in the country, Bai Qinghao.

She had become the most powerful woman in their country.

But this woman used to love him! She was supposed to be his!

Bai Chenxi's gaze was filled with unhappiness and anger.

The Bai and Long family were far too frightening. In the period Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin were absent, he had thought that the two families would have fallen into disarray. Although he and Huang Zhishu could not do anything to the Long family, they could have at least attacked the Bai family.

To their shock, the Bai family elders were impossible to fool.

While the Bai family were frantically searching for them, the companies operated as per normal. Even Bai Qinghao's Sheng Shi Group remained at ease without their CEO.

This was because Bai Qinghao had carefully selected capable subordinates and they were able to keep the Sheng Shi Group running efficiently.

With the Bai family still standing, even if someone tried to cause trouble in the Sheng Shi Group, it would be futile.

He had prayed fervently for Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin to never return.

However, both of them returned alive and unharmed.
