Chapter 742 We Are Not Afraid
In the picturesque Victoria, Canada, Jiang Shuo, Gu Qinming, Guo Binyan, and Dou Jinde, tasked with recovering a substantial sum of money for Teng Zijing, have already begun a series of methodical countermeasures. However, Robert, fully aware of the threat their actions pose to him, resorts to unscrupulous means to bribe relevant authorities in an attempt to prevent Gu Qinming and the other two from advancing their case through the normal legal process. This action makes every step of their journey fraught with hardship and obstacles, hindering the investigation's progress.
Teng Zijing, a man of unwavering resolve, saw the situation reach an impasse, his heart aching with anxiety. After repeated attempts to break through the obstacles proved fruitless, he could no longer contain his anger and worry, and decided to go alone to settle the matter with Robert. He knew the danger was high, but to recover his massive losses and, more importantly, to regain his trampled dignity, he resolutely embarked on this dangerous journey.
One day, after much inquiry, Teng Zijing learned that Robert was holding a secret meeting at a hospital. Without hesitation, he headed straight for the hospital, each step firm and resolute. The hospital was filled with the smell of disinfectant, the white walls, and the bustling crowds of people didn't faze Teng Zijing in the slightest. With his keen eyes, he searched the floors, relying on his keen intuition and his understanding of Robert's style, he finally found him outside a VIP ward.
However, Robert seemed to have anticipated Teng Zijing's arrival and had laid numerous traps around the ward. As Teng Zijing approached, several nimble assassins emerged from the shadows like ghosts. They were clad in black bodysuits and masks, revealing only their cold, fierce eyes. Well-trained, the assassins quickly surrounded Teng Zijing and prepared to attack. Teng Zijing's heart trembled, but he showed no fear. He quickly caught his breath, his eyes warily scanning the surrounding enemies, preparing for the fierce battle that was about to begin.
At this crucial moment, the gears of fate quietly shifted. The Victoria Resort was hosting a bustling traditional event, a scene packed with people and filled with laughter and joy. Colorful flags fluttered in the breeze, and people in distinctive costumes formed a circle, dancing joyfully. Yu Fei and An Yu were among the joyful crowd, enjoying this rare moment of joy.
An Yu, a woman of unique temperament, exudes a unique charm in every gesture. She returns to China this time, burdened with the heavy responsibility of avenging Qiu Beichen. Qiu Beichen, the man she once loved deeply, was taken away in an accident, leaving behind endless pain and mystery. An Yu is convinced that Qiu Beichen's death is inextricably linked to Teng Zijing, and she vows to make Teng Zijing pay for his actions.
As An Yu's best friend, Yu Fei has always been by her side, supporting her every decision. He knows the pain and persistence in An Yu's heart, so in this foreign country, he always protects her, hoping to help her break the shackles in her heart as soon as possible.
When the conflict between Teng Zijing and the assassins spread to the resort, chaos erupted. People fled in panic, and the once joyful atmosphere was instantly overshadowed by fear. Yu Fei and An Yi were also caught up in this sudden turmoil. In the chaos, An Yi became separated from Yu Fei and was captured by Robert's men. They held An Yi tightly, like hungry wolves, hoping to use her as a bargaining chip to threaten Teng Zijing.
"Teng Zijing, surrender! Otherwise this woman will die!" Robert's men shouted arrogantly, with the dagger in their hands against An Yu's fair neck. The slightest movement would cut her skin.
Teng Zijing's heart tightened. He felt a mixture of emotions as he looked at An Yu's terrified yet stubborn eyes. He knew he couldn't act rashly, as this would only put An Yu in even greater danger. So, he slowly lowered his weapon and raised his hands in surrender.
"Let her go! Come to me if you have any problem!" Teng Zijing shouted loudly, with a hint of anger and helplessness in his voice.
Robert slowly stepped out of the shadows, a smug smile on his face, as if everything was under his control. "Teng Zijing, you really are overestimating yourself! You think you can get your money back from me single-handedly? Today, neither you nor this woman will leave alive!"
With that, Robert waved his hand, and his men took Teng Zijing and An Yu to a secluded corner. There was no one around, only a few dim lights swaying in the wind, creating a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere.
"Teng Zijing, aren't you very brave? Why are you silent now?" Robert said sarcastically. As he spoke, he picked up a whip and gently waved it in his hand, making a "snapping" sound.
Teng Zijing glared at Robert, his eyes burning with anger, but for An Yu's safety, he suppressed his anger and said, "Robert, don't go too far! If there is anything, we can discuss it properly. Don't embarrass a woman."
"Negotiate? Do you think we still have room for negotiation?" Robert sneered, suddenly raised the whip, and lashed Teng Zijing hard. Teng Zijing groaned, his body trembling slightly, but he still clenched his teeth and did not utter a word to beg for mercy.
An Yu felt a pang of pain in her heart as she watched Teng Zijing suffer for her. She felt sorry for the man before her. Although she had always regarded him as an enemy, the courage and responsibility he showed in protecting her at this moment made her heart waver.
"Teng Zijing, I, An Yu, came back to China to find you to avenge Qiu Beichen. You don't need to be so servile in front of Robert for me." An Yu bit her lip, her eyes flashing with complex light, and there was a hint of sarcasm in her words, trying to cover up her inner panic and emotion.
Teng Zijing raised his head slightly, looked at An Yu, and said disdainfully: "An Yu, wake up, Qiu Beichen is not a man. He can't even protect the woman he loves. He doesn't deserve you."
Upon hearing this, An Yu's anger instantly ignited. She glared at Teng Zijing, raised her hand, and slapped him across the face. "I don't need him to do anything for me, I just want him to be alive and well. You don't understand the relationship between us!" An Yu's voice was choked with sobs, tears welling in her eyes.
Teng Zijing's head tilted sideways from the slap, a distinct palm print appearing on his face. He slowly turned his head and looked at An Yu, his eyes devoid of anger, only a hint of helplessness and pity. "An Yu, you're too foolish. There are so many secrets hidden behind Qiu Beichen's death. You've been blinded by hatred and can't see the truth at all."
Just then, Yu Fei, who had been hiding in the shadows, finally found them. Seeing Teng Zijing and An Yi in danger, he was distraught. Knowing he couldn't act rashly, Yu Fei quickly observed his surroundings, looking for a chance to rescue them.
Yu Fei spotted a pile of discarded building materials not far away, among which were several thick wooden sticks. He quietly walked around the pile, picked up a stick, and cautiously approached Robert and the others.
Robert was about to torture Teng Zijing even more brutally, completely unaware of the approaching danger. Yu Fei, seizing the opportunity, rushed forward and slammed the wooden stick into one of Robert's men. The man was caught off guard and was stunned by the sudden blow, causing him to drop his dagger.
This sudden change instantly heightened the atmosphere. Robert's other men, upon seeing this, turned and surrounded Yu Fei. Yu Fei, agile and wielding a wooden stick, engaged in a fierce battle with his enemies. However, the enemy was outnumbered, and Yu Fei gradually began to feel overwhelmed.
Taking advantage of the enemy's distraction, Teng Zijing quickly broke free and joined the battle. Fighting side by side with Yu Fei, he gradually gained the upper hand with his tenacious will and outstanding skills.
An Yu watched them fight a desperate battle with the enemy, feeling both worried and moved. She knew that without Teng Zijing and Yu Fei, she would be in great danger today. So, she didn't sit idle either, picking up the dagger on the ground, ready to join the battle at any time to help them out of their predicament.
After a fierce fight, Teng Zijing and Yu Fei finally subdued all of Robert's men. Robert, seeing the situation was bad, turned and tried to escape. Teng Zijing, quick-witted and quick-handed, rushed forward and tackled Robert to the ground.
"Robert, do you think you can escape? You will pay the price for everything you did today!" Teng Zijing said angrily, strangling Robert's neck tightly with both hands.
Robert struggled, a look of fear on his face. "Teng Zijing, you can't kill me! If you kill me, you won't get your money back!"
Teng Zijing's heart trembled. He knew that Robert's words were not entirely unreasonable. So, he slowly loosened his hand and said, "You'd better tell me the truth. Where did you transfer all my money? Also, do you have anything to do with Qiu Beichen's death?"
Robert panted heavily, hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to confess everything. "I transferred the money to a secret account. The account information is in my office. As for Qiu Beichen, his death is indeed related to me. He discovered the secret of my collusion with certain forces, so I had to get rid of him."
Upon hearing this, Teng Zijing's anger flared up again. "You bastard! You're so selfish that you'd resort to any means necessary! Today, I'll make you pay for what you've done!"
At that moment, sirens were heard in the distance. A resort staff member had called the police in the midst of the chaos. Soon, the police arrived and took Robert and his men away.
Teng Zijing, Yu Fei, and An Yu were also taken to the police station to cooperate with the investigation. There, Teng Zijing handed over all the evidence he had regarding Robert's fraud and recounted the events in detail. The police took their leads very seriously and pledged to thoroughly investigate the case and bring justice to the couple.
After some investigation, the police confirmed Robert's crime and successfully recovered Teng Zijing's huge amount of money. At the same time, they also found the truth about Qiu Beichen's death and gave An Yu justice.
During this process, An Yu's view of Teng Zijing changed drastically. She realized that she had always wronged Teng Zijing, and that he was not the murderer of Qiu Beichen, but had been trying to find the truth.
"Teng Zijing, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you before." An Yu looked at Teng Zijing, her eyes full of guilt and gratitude.
Teng Zijing smiled slightly and said, "It's okay. Now the truth is out. Qiu Beichen is my friend, and I have been investigating the cause of his death. I hope you can let go of your hatred and start a new life."
Yu Fei watched them from the side and smiled with relief. "Yes, An'er, let the past be the past. We should all look forward to the future."
After this thrilling experience, the relationship between Teng Zijing, An Yu, and Yu Fei deepens. They decide to put aside their past grievances and face the future together. Jiang Shuo, Gu Qinming, Guo Binyan, and Dou Jinde also become trusted friends after successfully helping Teng Zijing recover the huge sum of money.
Under the Victorian sunset, their figures are stretched out, as if telling a story full of twists and turns and touching moments. And their future, like this magnificent sunset, is filled with infinite possibilities and hope. From then on, they begin a new chapter in their lives on this land, moving forward with courage, faith, and a love of life.
