My beautiful CEO wife

Chapter 1231: Your Son Is in My Hands

After a brief silence, the woman shouted, "You’ve been following me for so long, and you’re still acting like a fool. Do you think you can investigate the background of someone capable of such means?"

The subordinate saw that the boss was angry and quickly lowered his head, hurriedly saying he didn’t dare.

The woman snorted coldly, saying nothing more, but her eyes narrowed slightly toward the direction Xiao Zheng had left. Clearly, she was now very interested in Xiao Zheng.

Xiao Zheng didn’t care about what had just happened; his most pressing concern now was to quickly find Fan Longzhou’s mother with him.

The face of Fan Longzhou, in Xiao Zheng’s hand, had turned ashen pale. Although he had no external wounds or bleeding, Xiao Zheng had broken his knee and crushed his scapula, resulting in massive internal bleeding.

Internal bleeding is the most dangerous kind, and Xiao Zheng couldn’t guarantee whether this guy could stay alive until he saw his mother.

Having gone through this ordeal, Xiao Zheng no longer cared about this guy’s fate. Even if he died, Xiao Zheng wouldn’t feel any pity.

The only reason he’s still keeping this guy around is because he needs him when he meets his mother, nothing more.

So, to prevent this guy from dying before seeing his mother, Xiao Zheng used his power to slightly sustain his life.

Following Fan Longzhou’s directions, Xiao Zheng soon arrived at the entrance of a detached villa located in the suburbs.

According to Fan Longzhou’s explanation, his mother was temporarily residing here; this villa was one of their properties in the city.

Looking at the luxurious villa with its European-style architectural decorations, such a large estate being left idle when they’re not around made Xiao Zheng feel a sigh; rich people like these are truly bastards.

Such a big house, and if they don’t come to this city, it just sits here, empty and abandoned, what a pity.

Standing at the gate, Xiao Zheng looked inside, his brows slightly furrowed. He felt something was odd.

After all the commotion earlier, the sky had gradually darkened. It was dusk, and even though it hadn’t completely darkened, it was already dim.

In Xiao Zheng’s understanding, for wealthy people like them, with such a powerful family background, wherever they go, they would bring lots of bodyguards since people like them fear death.

But the villa in front of him puzzled Xiao Zheng. Looking around, he saw not even a regular security guard at the gate, let alone bodyguards. The entire villa was empty, as if there wasn’t a single living soul.

By now, it was getting darker, yet there was no light in the villa. At least for now, Xiao Zheng couldn’t see anyone within his sight.

This situation was very abnormal. Remembering the two previous encounters, Xiao Zheng definitely wouldn’t believe if they lived here without arranging a single bodyguard.

"Are you sure your mother really lives here?" Xiao Zheng turned his head to look at Fan Longzhou in his hand, asking casually.

Fan Longzhou also looked confusedly at the villa in front of him, "It’s definitely here, without a doubt. When I left this morning, there were still lots of bodyguards."

If not for the specific address written on the gate, Fan Longzhou would doubt if he had gone to the wrong place, thinking this villa was not the one he knew.

But now he couldn’t quite make sense of the situation either. It was all normal when he left in the morning, so how come there weren’t even any normal bodyguards now, as if the whole villa had turned into a dead house?

Xiao Zheng carefully stared at Fan Longzhou for quite a while, convinced this guy wasn’t lying. After all, if he was still trying to fool him, he wouldn’t be Fan Longzhou anymore.

Xiao Zheng thought for a moment and decided that regardless, he had to go inside and take a look today, so he lifted his foot and walked towards the villa.

Wang Zixin, who was beside him, seemed a bit nervous, quickly stepping forward to block Xiao Zheng and said, "This place is so strange. Are we really going in?"

In such a large villa, with not even a ghost in sight and the gate wide open, it had an eerie feel like the empty city tactic.

"I feel something strange too, but no matter what scheme they’re playing, we have to check it out. Don’t forget, her son’s life is still in my hands."

After Xiao Zheng said this, he shook Fan Longzhou in his hand, causing the wounds on Fan Longzhou’s body to ache, making him grimace, but under Xiao Zheng’s intense pressure, he didn’t dare make a noise.

His already fierce and twisted face became even paler.

Despite feeling a bit uneasy, Wang Zixin couldn’t say much since Xiao Zheng had already said so, and as Xiao Zheng had pointed out, having come this far, would they really not enter just because the villa looks a bit strange?

After thinking about it, Wang Zixin looked up at Xiao Zheng, who had already started walking forward again. She too could only bite the bullet and follow him. To suppress her growing uneasiness, she popped a lollipop into her mouth.

Just after stepping into the villa gate, a large open space came into view, surrounded by a few gardens.

Presumably, no one usually manages this place, so the garden looked somewhat neglected, with weeds overgrowing inside.

Under the somewhat dim lighting at the moment, it made the place appear even more eerie.

Feeling somewhat frightened, Wang Zixin moved closer to Xiao Zheng.

As Xiao Zheng walked forward, his eyes continually scanned around. But contrary to his expectations, there were no hidden guards ambushing in the surrounding gardens.

Nor were there any bodyguards lying in wait.

The entire courtyard was engulfed in dead silence, devoid of any living soul.

Thus, Xiao Zheng safely walked into the villa’s living room, as the glass door at the front of the living room was also wide open.

Xiao Zheng looked around; the villa had no lights turned on inside, and the doors of surrounding rooms were all open. This bizarre scene made Xiao Zheng’s heart involuntarily shiver.

If it was really as Fan Longzhou claimed—that everything was normal when he left this morning—then there is only one explanation for the current state.

That is, Fan Longzhou’s mother has already realized that something happened to her son.
