Chapter 467: Chapter 467: Official Confession_1

The four buildings, respectively, were A1, A2, A3, and A4.

Among them, the top floor of Building A1, close to Pujiang, had temporarily become Black Dragon’s command room with the four chief officers.

After receiving reports from their respective team leaders, the four officers gave Black Dragon a brief summary.

“Convey my order, maintain position, check the lights, and stand by at all times.”

Upon hearing the command, these thousand people dared not slack off and were fully prepared.

Before coming here, the mob bosses, Black Dragon, and Sun Lihua had emphasized repeatedly the utmost importance of the operation, insisting on perfection.

Whomever caused a slip-up would bear full responsibility, with consequences more severe than those of getting arrested for murder.

Therefore, the specially selected elite members were all highly focused and dared not relax in the slightest.

In the night sky, more than twenty drones equipped with cameras slowly ascended to the designated area, beginning aerial photography tests, transmitting the captured images live to the computers to ensure the angles were perfect and no other issues would arise.

Because the most crucial moment to come, if not captured, would be the greatest flaw of the operation.

Everything was properly arranged in an orderly fashion, but Black Dragon still felt somewhat uneasy.

He paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, occasionally stopping to glance at his wristwatch or look out the window.

Simultaneously, Sun Liming’s secretary also called the director of the local power bureau.

At 8:40, Black Dragon’s phone rang, and he answered the call in less than two seconds.

“The target vehicle is moving slowly, approaching, estimated to arrive in two minutes, please be prepared.”

Black Dragon instantly perked up, and ordered, “Master Xu is about to arrive, get ready.”

“Yes!”

Ah Hua and his three companions instantly became tense, promptly responded together, and then opened the walkie-talkie to issue commands.@@novelbin@@

Xu Fan, driving an Audi A7, arrived on the road in front of the villa complex.

Since the window paper was punctured, the distance between the two of them had closed significantly, and besides sharing their innermost feelings, they discussed many other topics along the way.

“Having encountered a family tragedy, you should have given up on yourself, yet instead you transformed utterly, working silently and becoming so outstanding.”

Xu Yixue’s beautiful eyes shone with admiration as she sighed and said, “If I had known you would change for the better, I would have definitely sought you out, and Tongtong wouldn’t have had only me for company all these years. Fortunately, despite the many difficulties, the result is still good. Ever since you’ve been around, Tongtong has been revitalized, becoming lively and adorable, innocent and delightful, laughing every day.”

“Tongtong is my daughter, I will definitely not let her suffer, and I will make her a happy sprite, a cute little angel, a beautiful little princess,” Xu Fan said with a soft smile, his eyes filled with resolute determination as he promised earnestly, “Xue, the same goes for you. I, Xu Fan, may not be good at many things, but I can guarantee to make you happy and the luckiest wife in the world.”

After speaking, Xu Fan turned his head and gazed at Xu Yixue with deep affection.

Xu Yixue, upon hearing such a straightforward confession, felt her mind thunder and her heart surge with tumultuous waves, a wondrous feeling engulfing her heart and soul.

Her heartbeat had never throbbed so rapidly; she hurriedly lowered her blushing face, lightly bit her red lip, and her fingers nervously twirled the hem of her clothes.

It took her a full ten seconds to exhale and respond with a smile, “A man’s mouth, a deceitful ghost, you must think I’m a little girl to be fooled so easily.”

While she said this, her heart was as sweet as if filled with honey.

Xu Fan shook his head, very seriously, word by word, he said, “I, Xu Fan, a man of my word, do as I say.”

Feeling the increasingly intense gaze, Xu Yixue could only feel her cheeks burn infernally, her heart “thump thump” careening like a startled deer, entirely a picture of irresistible panic and shyness.

Relying on a woman’s intuition, she felt that Xu Fan had quite the appetite tonight, as if he was planning to devour her.

Xu Yixue didn’t know where she got the courage to meet Xu Fan’s gaze. For a moment, nervousness, shyness, sweetness, and anticipation mixed and swirled inside her.

Big jerk, he sent Shi Yu and Xiao Ning away; could it be that he wants that?

Her mind was in chaos, her panic unparalleled, what should she do?

It’s too sudden, just half a month, and he’s confessing already?

I’m totally unprepared.

“Click!”

Right as her heart raced like a small deer, the car came to a halt.

Xu Fan opened the door and stepped out, then came to the right rear door and opened it, making a gentlemanly gesture. With his left hand behind his back and his right hand extended to Xu Yixue, he bent slightly and said, “My dearest Empress, please alight from the carriage.”

Xu Yixue shyly glanced at Xu Fan, stood up with one hand holding Tongtong, and one hand on Xu Fan’s, stepping out with her long, snow-white legs while bending slightly.

Then, she looked around her surroundings, finally setting her eyes on the villa in front of her, and smiled radiantly, “You’ve brought me to our new home?”

“Yes. However, I prefer to call it the Empress’s palace; let’s go inside.”

Xu Fan smiled gently and, as a gentleman, led Xu Yixue by the hand to the front door, pushing it open and entering.

Inside and outside the villa, darkness prevailed, with the distant streetlights casting dim light, elongating their shadows.

Xu Yixue was about to ask Xu Fan to switch on the lights when suddenly, all lights around them went out.

At once, the surroundings turned pitch black, making Xu Fan’s face indiscernible; even the moon conveniently hid behind the clouds.

Not far off, the entire road was blocked with caution tape, leaving neither pedestrians nor vehicles in sight.

Keep in mind, it was still early at this time, and the road was usually quite busy.

Many people from afar, seeing everything dark, unconsciously thought there was a power outage.

Xu Yixue suddenly felt everything fall silent, the atmosphere becoming somewhat uncomfortable. She was afraid of the dark, but having Xu Fan by her side, her fear vanished.

However, Xu Fan seemed to have planned for today, like a tiger who had set his sights on her, the little goat.

She felt very uneasy, as if the air itself turned thick and charged with an ambiguous tension.

“Why is it all dark…”

Just as Xu Yixue began to speak, Xu Fan gently pressed his finger to her lips, and a wave of masculine energy rushed towards her, causing Xu Yixue’s body to instinctively step back a little.

“Xue, listen to me,” Xu Fan took a step closer, leaning his upper body slightly forward, the distance between them growing narrow.

Xu Yixue breathed rapidly but gradually steadied her mind and nodded slightly.

“Xue, I clearly remember that four years ago, at the Yanjing party, the moment I saw you for the first time, I was stunned, heartstruck, love at first sight; my eyes only had room for you. But, for the first time, I despised my unworthiness. Even though I am the Xu Family’s Young Master, I didn’t dare express my adoration for you. You were like a celestial maiden aloft in the skies, while I was nothing but earthbound, capable only of admiration, not daring to profane.”

“For the first time, I knew what a secret crush felt like, secretly liking, quietly observing, stealthily following. That night, deviating from my usual self, I avoided all socializing and drank incessantly. I thought alcohol would give me the courage to declare my love for you, but by the time I got to you, you were already unconscious, the drug taking effect in your body. It was the first time I was both so brave and so enraged… I managed to drive that bastard away, but the drug was already doing its work, so…”

“I am so grateful to heaven for letting me meet you, and for that wonderful night that became a beautiful memory etched in my mind. Even though I only remember fragments due to the alcohol, they linger in my thoughts. It was that night that allowed us to rekindle our past bond, seemingly a destiny fated to be married. So, here I stand before you now.”
