Reincarnation: I Married My Ex's Brother

Chapter 261: The Good Will Be Heaven’s Favor

Fang Mu’s image appeared on Black’s screen.

Fang Mu was dressed in a light blue shirt and a neat tie. Clearly, he had just gotten off work.

Perhaps, it was because of his excitement, but his dark and tired eyes were brimming with energy. A few strands of his hair, which had been neatly combed to the back of his head, had fallen, making him look a little dispirited. However, because of the excitement in his overly bright eyes, he looked less dashing and more excited.

From behind the camera, Black stared at Fang Mu. After a while, he shifted his gaze, leaned down, and turned the camera.

Fang Mu saw the scenery rapidly changing on the screen.

From the looks of it, Black seemed to be staying in an apartment. The apartment wasn’t very large, and the furnishings were ordinary and plain.

Finally, the camera stopped moving.

The screen reliably showed a man tied to a chair.

That man was dressed in a casual khaki shirt and black trousers. His limbs were tied to the chair by a thin and sturdy rope, and he couldn’t move. The back of the chair was a meter tall, and the man’s head was tied up by a rope. To prevent Fang Yusheng from making a sound, Black had even placed a small ball the size of a baby’s fist in his mouth.

Fang Yusheng bit on the ball, unable to make any sound.

Even though he was tied to a chair, Fang Yusheng’s legs looked long and attractive.

After being kidnapped for three days, Fang Yusheng was in a sorry state.

His exquisite, gentle, and perfect face had a few bruises seemingly because of a beating. His mouth was open and his eyes were closed as he had fainted. He looked like a dying dog.

His hair, which was always neatly combed, was messy. His hair was scattered, and a few strands of light brown hair fell on his ears. This scene was as funny as it could be.

Fang Yusheng had finally lost the noble air that Fang Mu hated whenever he saw him. The eldest young master Fang looked to be in a sorry state after being trampled on by others. And, Fang Mu enjoyed watching that.

Fang Mu was in a good mood when he saw Fang Yusheng like this. He held back the corners of his lips and thought:?Fang Yusheng, you have such a day too.

After Fang Mu was done observing Fang Yusheng, a black shadow suddenly appeared and filled up the entire screen.

Fang Mu frowned. When the shadow retreated, Fang Mu finally saw that it was a tall man clad in black.

The man was very tall, at least 1.9 meters in height.

His appearance was ordinary and unremarkable. He was not eye-catching. The black outfit he was wearing made his face seem even more cold and heartless. The eyes of the man in black were filled with endless indifference and disdain. Only people who were used to life and death would have such a gaze.

This was a true killer!

Killers looked ordinary; nothing about them would stand out in the crowd. However, all of them had a pair of eagle-like sharp eyes.

If you brushed past such a person, you would only treat them as an ordinary passerby. Little would you know that the moment you turned around, their eyes would be filled with bloodlust. They would suddenly take out lethal weapons and swiftly and accurately attack your heart, giving you a fatal blow.

Fang Mu subconsciously held his breath when he saw this person.

He thought he was ruthless enough, but he realized he was nothing compared to Black.

“Black?” Fang Mu’s voice became serious and tense.

He did not notice the fear in his eyes when he looked at the man in black.

The tall man in black nodded.

He stood in front of the camera and fiddled with his gun and dagger expressionlessly. Then, he held the gun in one hand and the dagger in the other as if he were weighing which tool was more suitable to use. Looking at Fang Mu, he asked, “You saw him, right?”

Fang Mu nodded. “That’s right.” Even though the person in the chair had fainted, Fang Mu felt his hate surge with one glance at him. This man was definitely Fang Yusheng.

Hearing this, the tall man put down his gun. He seemed to have finally made up his mind to use the dagger.

Flicking the silver dagger, Black raised his head and looked at Fang Mu with his eagle-like eyes. He opened his thin lips and said, “The target, Fang Yusheng, is not dead yet. Do you want to execute him immediately?” As he talked about Fang Yusheng’s life and death, Black’s tone was indifferent as if he were mentioning an insignificant matter.

Fang Mu was impressed by this man’s boldness to decide a person’s life and death so easily.

At this time, Fang Yusheng slowly woke up.

He looked at the camera and suddenly realized that he was in a dangerous situation. He violently struggled. However, Black had tied him tightly. No matter how much Fang Yusheng struggled, the chair did not move. Only his muscles twitched.

Seeing him struggle, Fang Mu couldn’t help but raise his hand and wave.

On the screen, Fang Yusheng suddenly widened his green eyes.

His green eyes were filled with anger, indignation, and hatred.

Fang Mu saw how Fang Yusheng was struggling but could only look on helplessly. He gave him a smug smile, then turned to look at Black and excitedly said, “Kill him.”

Black nodded, not a ripple in his gaze like the stagnant water in a ripple-free well.

When Fang Yusheng heard those two words, he was stunned at first. Then, he struggled even more anxiously.

That expression perfectly portrayed the words “afraid of death.”

Ignoring Fang Yusheng’s resistance, Black held the dagger and walked toward him. His pace was neither fast nor slow; he was very relaxed.

Fang Mu saw Black walking toward Fang Yusheng and suddenly reminded him. He said, “Black, remember to clean up the mess. Don’t let anyone find his body and find out that this has anything to do with me.” Fang Mu had spent 300 million USD and didn’t want to get himself into trouble.

Hearing this, Black turned around and stared at Fang Mu.

Fang Mu couldn’t understand his gaze. He was even a little afraid of the gaze. Just as he was about to look away, Black finally nodded.

Black said, “Don’t worry, F. I’ll do my job as long as there is money. I’ll be clean. Just remember to give me the remaining 150 million USD.” Saying that, Black walked toward Fang Yusheng with the dagger in his hand. Fang Mu saw Black put the dagger against Fang Yusheng’s neck. Black was about to stab it in when he saw Fang Yusheng’s eyes, which were as wide as brass bells, and his face as pale as ash…

Suddenly, the room turned dark.

A blackout occurred in Fang Mu’s villa all of a sudden.

The wifi connection on the laptop was cut off and the call ended abruptly. The video was stuck in the scene of Black holding the knife against Fang Yusheng’s neck.

Fang Mu stared at the laptop and was stunned.

Why is there a blackout at this time?

After staring at the laptop in a daze for a while, Fang Mu turned on the flashlight on his phone and went downstairs. When he saw the nanny lighting the candles and cleaning the kitchen counter, he asked, “Is the power out?”

The nanny replied respectfully, “Yes, Sir.” She looked out of the window and said, “It seems like the entire villa district is having a blackout.”

Fang Mu nodded.

He called the property manager and asked about this matter. The property manager said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Fang. There’s a blackout in our area tonight. The high-pressure circuit has malfunctioned, and we won’t be able to find out the problem until tomorrow. We’re about to start the generator, and we’ll have the electricity back up in half an hour at the latest. Please forgive us for this inconvenience.”

“It’s fine.”

Fang Mu no longer suspected that the large blackout was not a coincidence.

***

In a corner of the city, Qi Bufan had used a chainsaw to cut off an ancient tree. When the ancient tree was about to fall, he had run to the safe area ahead of time. He watched as the tree fell and broke the high-voltage electric line. Even though he was used to big storms, his heart skipped a beat when he saw the flashing lights.

This was not done by a human. When the high-voltage electrical wires were broken, Qi Bufan had almost thought that he would die here. Even though he had run to the safe area ahead of time, he still broke out in cold sweat.

No, I have to get Sir to give me a raise. If my salary is still less than 200,000 yuan per month, I’ll resign!

Qi Bufan put away the chainsaw and escaped.

***

Indeed, within fifteen minutes, the electricity in the villa district was back up.

The lights at home instantly lit up. Fang Mu took out a cigarette from the cigarette box, walked to the balcony, lit it, and put it in his mouth. The lights elongated his shadow and reflected it on the dark blue floor-to-ceiling windows. He leaned against the railing and gazed at the tall buildings of Binjiang City in the distance. His mood was especially good.

After dealing with Fang Yusheng, he felt much better.

Fang Mu finished his cigarette, turned around, and returned to his room.

Sitting by the bed, he picked up Qiao Jiusheng’s photo from the bedside table.

In the photo, Qiao Jiusheng was about 20 years old. She had worn a white t-shirt with a sea of roses behind her. However, her smile was even more gorgeous than the beautiful roses.

“Xiao Sheng, you will return to my side very soon…”

He ran his fingers along the girl’s eyebrows, cheekbones, nose, and lips in the photo. Fang Mu’s eyes were filled with a crazy and frightening light.

That night, Fang Mu had a good sleep.

He dreamed of the first time he had seen Fang Yusheng.

This time, Fang Mu was no longer lowly.

When Fang Yusheng lifted his chin with his bow and gave him a disdainful look, Fang Mu raised his fist and punched him. The two of them fought fiercely in the dream. In the end, Fang Mu won.

The next morning, Fang Mu woke up. He couldn’t help but laugh when he thought of the dream last night.

He carefully chose a dark blue suit with a long gray suit jacket and a brooch on his chest. Facing the mirror, Fang Mu put on his shirt, trousers, suit jacket in an orderly manner and wore the brooch. He did not wear a tie but put on a black watch.

The sunlight slanted in and fell on him.

Fang Mu turned around and stared at the glimmer of dawn.

After a sumptuous breakfast, Fang Mu drove to the company. The moment he parked her car at the entrance of the company, a large group of reporters surrounded him. These reporters came from different fields. Some were from finance, some were from entertainment, some were from the social department…

Inside the car, Fang Mu frowned in confusion.

What are these reporters doing here?

He parked the car and opened the door. The moment he stretched out his long legs, the reporters blocked his way.

He was surrounded. Not even the sunlight could reach him.

“Mr. Fang Mu, excuse us. Can you give us some time and accept our interview?” The reporter from the Financial News was polite.

Fang Mu pondered for a moment and nodded.

“Of course.”

He got out of the car. The camera focused on him. Someone even turned on the flashlights.

Perhaps, it was because he was Mu Chen’s son, but Fang Mu had inherited his mother’s sensitivity to cameras. Standing in front of the camera, he was not flustered at all. His every move was like a walking poster, perfect and attractive.

“Rumor has it that the shareholders of the Fang Corporation have drastically changed. Currently, the person holding the most shares in the Fang Corporation is Mr. Fang Yusheng. However, Mr. Fang Yusheng is currently missing, and no one knows where he is. May I ask, what do you think of the company’s future development?”

The financial news was always focused on the development of the Fang Corporation.

Fang Mu pursed his lips. On his cold face, there was a rare hint of… pain.

“First of all, I want to make one thing clear. Although Big Brother holds the most shares in the company, he is not the manager of the company. Our company is filled with talents. This world will not be closed just because one person is missing. I believe that the employees of our company can lead the Fang Corporation to a more glorious future.” It seemed that Fang Mu felt that his words were too formulaic. He added, “Big Brother’s whereabouts are currently unknown, but I believe that God will bring him back safely.”

Everyone knew that Fang Mu did not have a good relationship with Fang Yusheng. All the reporters knew that what Fang Mu had said just now was probably a lie.

However, even if it was a lie, they had to write it down word for word.

“Hello, Mr. Fang. I’m a reporter for Today’s news.” A reporter passed a microphone to Fang Mu.

Fang Mu looked at the young reporter and nodded. “Hello.”

The reporter greeted him back. “Hello.” Then, he started his interview. “The outside world has been spreading rumors that you and Mr. Fang Yusheng have been at odds for a long time. Some time ago, huge internal changes took place in the Fang Corporation. Mr. Fang Yusheng surpassed you and became the biggest shareholder of the Fang Corporation. Some people guessed that Mr. Fang Yusheng’s disappearance this time might be related to you. May I ask if you have anything to say about this?”
