The Tycoon's Enchanted Mermaid-Chapter 159 - : From Heaven to Hell

Chapter 159: Chapter 159: From Heaven to Hell

Under the dark surge of night, the fine rain falling from the sky turned into strands of suspended silver threads under the illumination of the street lamps, covering the entire earth with a layer of dim, unclear mist.

The wheels crushed the road surface, splashing water, as four or five black sedans raced at top speed on the vast highway.

In the lead, an extended luxury car contained Fang Yuan curled up in the back seat, her mouth sealed with two yellow strips of tape in an “X” shape, her once-glamorous dress now wrinkled and out of shape, her hair a mess hanging over her shoulders.

Her slender shoulders visibly trembled, as if she had encountered something terrifying.

The silence inside the car cabin was suffocating, as if to drive a person mad alive in this dark, rainy night.

Fang Yuan’s face no longer carried the happy and content smile of the auction; only full-blown fear and stupefaction remained as she stared with wide eyes at Lu Yuan, who sat in front closing his eyes in rest.

The matter needed to be traced back to the auction.

At the auction, Lu Yuan had splurged a fortune for her, stealing the limelight with his tenderness and dominance, casting her into a dreamlike state, her happiness falling upon her and leaving her stunned.

Until she saw Ah Dai, the delicate girl residing at the Wuqiong Water Pavilion. She felt a slight surprise at the moment, but when she saw the man sitting next to her, she suddenly understood.

It turned out Mr. Qin had taken her out.

As she had guessed, the legendary “Mr. Qin” was much younger and more handsome than she had imagined. The man leaned casually in his seat, exuding an aura of cold nobility that was far more oppressive than that of Lu Yuan.

Fang Yuan, more worldly than Ah Dai, could tell at a glance that a man like Mr. Qin, who wielded power over life and death, had an aura that was fierce and strong. His gaze upon others was like looking down on insignificant ants.

Ah Dai and Mr. Qin were truly poles apart, with naivety and maturity completely contrasting.

For a moment, Fang Yuan felt worried for Ah Dai. However, she then thought that perhaps Mr. Qin truly loved her, just as Lu Yuan did for her, and it seemed there was nothing to worry about.

With that thought in mind, she couldn’t help but raise her head to look at her lover beside her, only to find him also looking down at her.

His gaze was strange, still gentle as usual, but there was a faint chill in his eyes, sinister, causing her heart to skip a beat.

Lu Yuan softly asked her, “Did you see your student?”

Fang Yuan’s smile froze on her face as she blankly asked him, “How do you know?”

“What do you think?” Lu Yuan murmured, his face playing with a gentle smile, no intention to conceal at all.

He brazenly told her that her life was entirely within his control.

Fang Yuan’s pupils contracted, and her palms felt cold.

Lu Yuan had investigated her background deeply—not only her school, dormitory, and family situation but even her work contacts were all clear to him. Despite being aware of his methods, Fang Yuan still felt a wave of fear.

She liked Lu Yuan, but she was a normal person, and normal people did not like being monitored and investigated.

Lu Yuan, however, had different thoughts.

Fang Yuan took a deep breath, her mind somewhat in turmoil. Previously, her mind clouded by love, she had deliberately overlooked some sharper conflicts beyond status and identity. Now, Lu Yuan’s light words were like a gust of wind, lifting the corner of the problem.

As she pondered how to resolve the issue of privacy, Lu Yuan’s next sentence completely cast her into an abyss of ice.

“Find a way to take her to the room later.”

Who?

Who was he talking about?

Fang Yuan’s heart stopped suddenly, disbelievingly widening her eyes as Lu Yuan turned to block her face, pinching her chin, his voice as tender as a lover’s murmuring in a moment of deep affection.

“Shh, don’t give it away; don’t spoil my plan.”

Fang Yuan’s face turned deathly pale, devoid of any color, her mouth open but unable to utter a word, unable to hear anything clearly, as if the world had suddenly pressed pause.

What was he talking about?

With a “boom,” something within Fang Yuan collapsed into ruins.

Until the auction ended, Lu Yuan once again warned her not to forget their mission. Fang Yuan looked distracted, without a soul, like a walking corpse being led by Lu Yuan to greet others.

During this time, Ah Da frequently cast glances at her, and Fang Yuan bit her teeth silently in response. She was afraid that if she spoke, she would lose her composure. When leaving the auction venue, Lu Yuan was dragging her all the way, as her legs had no strength to walk on their own.

“Why?”

In a corner, she mustered all her strength to ask the question that tortured her mind and soul, and Lu Yuan looked at her coldly, his eyes full of dissatisfaction with her silence just now.

Yes, she hadn’t called Ah Da to the room.

“Give me your phone.”

“No…” Fang Yuan stepped back, turned to run, but someone caught her hair from behind, then tightly covered her mouth and nose dragging her backward. Desperately, she reached out to the crowd for help, to no avail.

In the end, her mouth was sealed with tape and she was thrown into a car.

What Lu Yuan was doing with her phone, the more Fang Yuan thought about it, the more terrified she became. Only now did she understand that the personality and identity Lu Yuan had shown her were perhaps all fake.

The feelings were fake.

Everything was fake.

Was his real goal to get close to Ah Da through her?

How could this be?

This truth tore Fang Yuan’s heart to pieces, and tears kept flowing down. Her hands were bound, her mouth sealed, she struggled violently, her head banging hard against the car window, warm blood flowing over her eyes, blurring her vision with a red haze.

Outside the car, shadows flitted by, and upon hearing the commotion, they immediately opened the door and warned. They were dressed in black, fully armed, their faces half-covered, revealing a pair of ruthless eyes.

“Should we knock her out to avoid trouble?”

“Forget it, after all, she’s the young master’s woman. We can’t act without the young master’s orders.”

“Let’s focus on the mission.”

Fang Yuan had been a good student all her life and had never seen such a scene. She was chilled to the bone with fear.

Luckily, the captors seemed in a hurry and didn’t have time to deal with her, presumably because Lu Yuan’s so-called plan was in operation.

After struggling in vain, Fang Yuan lay despondently in the back seat of the car, where a bunch of red roses lay in the storage compartment, fresh and vibrant. It was the gift Lu Yuan had given her when he personally picked her up from school.

She had jumped up with a smile, hugging and kissing him.

Fang Yuan cried silently. The more blissful she was before tonight, the more she suffered now. She realized she had lost the gamble.

Heaven had fallen into hell.

For the first time, she had given her heart and body, and lost completely.

Crying, Fang Yuan suddenly forced herself to recall every detail of her time with Lu Yuan and began to organize her thoughts.

Judging from Lu Yuan’s actions tonight, he was evidently not a straightforward businessman. She seemed to have stepped into a quagmire where a single wrong step could ruin her future and potentially end her life.

No, no, she absolutely could not accept this.

Fang Yuan’s palm clenched until it drew blood.

Tonight, Lu Yuan wanted her to lure Ah Da to the room. At first, she thought Lu Yuan was lusting after Ah Da, but now, thinking calmly, such a grand setup and a meticulous plan—was it really just for a woman, to snatch a woman?

With his personality, it could never be for love.

A man like him, he had no heart.

Fang Yuan bit her lip. She thought of many possibilities, such as Ah Da being just a tool, and Lu Yuan’s real target was Mr. Qin.

For the benefit? Did the Lu Family have a grudge against the Qin Family?
