Chapter 1: The Return of the Dragon King
The several burly men changed their expressions upon seeing the woman get into the car and hurried over.
The burly leader watched as the taillights of the Passat disappeared from view, and could not help but curse loudly, quickly leading his men to chase after it.
Get on the bus
They have caught up. Just as Lin Xueyao was deep in thought, Chen Bufan's voice rang out
"Open the door quickly, take me away!" the woman in the white dress said anxiously
Boom
Boss, still haven't found it..." The voice on the phone conveyed an apologetic tone
Xiao Wan
Lin Xueyao felt somewhat baffled; what on earth was this guy asking with such nonsensical questions
Chen Bufan did not answer, but instead asked, "Is your seatbelt fastened?"
Chen Bufan chuckled lightly and shook his head, saying: "That is merely a small minion; the true mastermind lies elsewhere. I will definitely find him."
"Miss, is there something you need?" Looking at the face that bore a resemblance to Ning Wan's, Chen Bufan felt a ripple in his heart as he inquired
However, Chen Bufan soon shook his head with a bitter smile; Xiaowan was already gone, and she no longer existed in this world.
A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he tightly gripped the bullet, silently vowing: "Ning Wan, rest assured, no matter what, I will find them and avenge you"
Yes, in his heart, as long as it is not that name, everything else is unimportant
With a helpless sigh, Chen Bufan was about to drive away when his gaze suddenly swept across a beautiful woman in a white long dress who quickly walked out of the bar, entering Chen Bufan's line of sight
The Passat suddenly surged forth like a roaring beast, kicking up clouds of dust, and in the blink of an eye, it vanished without a trace
Bang bang
It is precisely for this reason that Lin Xueyao has been bestowed the title of "Goddess of the Business World" by countless people in Binhai, making her a household name in the region, rivaling even the so-called popular stars.
Lin Xueyao was taken aback for a moment; through the dim light, she saw the desolate expression on Chen Bufan's face
Noticing that Chen Bufan's gaze was fixed on her, Lin Xueyao's face, already slightly flushed from having had a bit to drink, turned even more rosy, appearing extremely charming and evoking a sense of affection in others
"Me? Chen Bufan."
In fact, in order to trace the origin of this bullet, Chen Bufan has searched the entire European continent, yet he still has not found any clues. This return to China is also aimed at seeking leads regarding this bullet.
Whew, that was close
A group of fools
Why don't you ask me what my name is
He even suspects whether there is some special relationship between this woman and Ning Wan
Chen Bufan smiled faintly and said, "I will take you flying"
Lin Xueyao was instantly rendered speechless, looking at Chen Bufan as if he were an alien. Suddenly, as if recalling something, she asked: "You must not be from Binhai, right?"
Chen Bufan suddenly trembled all over, his pupils widening in shock, and he involuntarily uttered the name that had caused him countless sleepless nights.
It is important to note that Lin Xueyao, as the most renowned business goddess in Binhai and the young lady of the prestigious Lin family, assumed the position of president of the family enterprise, Mingzhu Group, at the age of twenty-two. With her exceptional business acumen, under her leadership, Mingzhu Group achieved a remarkable feat, doubling its profits within just one year compared to the same period last year, which can be regarded as a commercial miracle in Binhai
As the captain of the Dragon Soul team, keen observation is the most fundamental ability of Chen Bufan. Even from a distance of several dozen meters, he was able to clearly see the appearance of the woman in the white dress, who bore a striking resemblance to Ning Wan, to the extent that he immediately mistook her for Ning Wan.
Why are you staring at me
I understand, thank you for your hard work, take a rest. Chen Bufan nodded and was about to hang up the phone
Chen Bufan
As soon as the words fell, without waiting for Lin Xueyao to respond, Chen Bufan slammed on the gas pedal, and immediately a thunderous roar erupted. The Passat surged forward like a ghost in the night, swiftly weaving through the flow of traffic, and in the blink of an eye, the black Mercedes was left far behind, disappearing from sight.
"Boss, why are you still insisting on finding the murderer? Haven't you already killed the murderer yourself?" A voice filled with confusion came from the phone.
What?
The woman has a graceful figure, dressed in a flowing white long dress, with a pair of black high heels adorning her feet. Her smooth long hair cascades down like a waterfall, exuding an air of nobility, akin to a goddess on high. Particularly striking is her face, which is exceptionally beautiful, captivating the gaze of all who behold her
No wonder
The clue has been lost again
It seemed that this outcome had long been anticipated, and Chen Bufan's expression did not change at all; however, upon closer inspection, one could still detect a trace of disappointment flickering in his resolute eyes
... ...
Just as Chen Bufan was slightly dazed, a sudden knocking sound on the car door broke the silence. He rolled down the window and saw that the woman in the white dress had somehow arrived at the side of the car.
Boom
Lin Xueyao raised her eyebrows lightly. As the most renowned business goddess in Binhai, Lin Xueyao had a certain confidence in her appearance and demeanor. However, ever since she got into the car, Chen Bufan, apart from showing great anticipation when asking her if her surname was Ning, maintained an expression of indifference at all other times
This is an announcement for a missing person. Lin Xueyao, the president of Mingzhu Group, has been missing for three days. We hope that anyone with information will actively assist in the search. A cash reward of 5 million will be given for useful clues
He is not merely an ordinary chauffeur, but rather a member of the most mysterious special organization in China, the Dragon Soul. He is the current captain of Dragon Soul and is referred to as the "Dragon King" of China.
... ...
A burly man in a vest, who had lunged forward intending to intercept the vehicle, missed and made intimate contact with the ground, immediately letting out a cry of agony
The suited man driving the car saw the Passat disappear, and immediately slammed his hands on the steering wheel, unable to contain his anger as he cursed aloud. He stopped the car, hesitated for a moment, and dialed a number.
Lin Xueyao then nodded in realization, saying that given her status, how could this guy not recognize her? It turned out he had just returned from abroad.
A trace of disappointment suddenly flashed across Chen Bufan's face; the surnames Ning and Lin sound only slightly different, but for Chen Bufan, they represent a world of difference
"Is your surname Ning?" Chen Bufan asked this question unexpectedly, looking at Lin Xueyao with eager eyes, wishing that she would nod immediately
Bang
Lin Xueyao pondered over this rather intriguing name, her beautiful eyes sizing up Chen Bufan with a gentle nod, "Indeed, it is somewhat extraordinary"
Not good, don't let her get away
Xiao Wan, I am sorry, it is my failure to protect you well
This is a man with a story
The photo features a short-haired girl with a radiant smile, dressed in a white dress, appearing particularly beautiful and enchanting under the sunlight
Damn it, I've lost them!
Unfortunately, it has been two months since he returned to the coastal area, and there is still no trace whatsoever.
When did her charm decline to such a degree
Lin Xueyao was taken aback for a moment, shook her head, "My surname is Lin"
No
It is merely a chance encounter, and the name is not important. Chen Bufan gently shook his head, a hint of desolation flashing across his face
The woman sitting beside him is his former lover, Ning Wan
Chen Bufan smiled faintly, remaining silent; only he knew the true meaning of this name
Oh dear
After finishing the conversation, Chen Bufan hung up the phone and turned his gaze to the photograph hanging in front of the window
Shall I take you along
Are you a star
It was this bullet that mercilessly pierced Ning Wan's heart
Feeling a slight sense of relief, Lin Xueyao asked, this man saved her, and she felt it necessary to know his name
"It's all set, what's wrong?" Lin Xueyao asked with a hint of confusion
What is your name
It is as if a person who has lost their beloved has lost all interest in everything else
Have you still not found it
Every time Chen Bufan saw that face, his heart would skip a beat, creating a sense of illusion
"Wang Shao, we have lost track."
In a slightly worn second-hand Passat, Chen Bufan reached out to turn off the radio, casually lit a cigarette, took a puff, and the car was instantly filled with swirling smoke
Chen Bufan was momentarily taken aback. He had intended to ask a few more questions, but upon seeing the woman's anxious expression, he seemed to sense something amiss. Instinctively, he glanced back and noticed several burly men in tank tops rushing out of the bar. Their direction clearly indicated that they were heading straight for the woman in the white dress before him
The woman in the photograph, named Ning Wan, was once the lover of Chen Bufan. When he found himself in peril due to a misjudgment, it was Ning Wan who sacrificed her life to save him
No, I just returned from abroad and only stayed in Binhai for two months
Chen Bufan drove while occasionally glancing at Lin Xueyao out of the corner of his eye
Chen Bufan glanced at Lin Xueyao and said, "Beauty, although you are quite pretty, you are not a celebrity, so why should I get to know you?"
While smoking a cigarette, Chen Bufan gazed out at the vibrant nightlife outside the window. This is the most famous bar street in Binhai, which becomes crowded at night. Countless men and women, with hormones seeking release, walk arm in arm, making it a place where both the good and the bad intermingle.
Chen Bufan cast a disdainful glance at them, and just as they were about to approach, he suddenly pressed the accelerator
Damn it! Hurry up and chase! If Lin Xueyao gets away, Young Master Wang will not spare us
Is your surname Ning?
Chen Bufan nodded, opened the car door, and a look of joy appeared on the fair face of the woman in the white dress as she hurriedly took a seat in the passenger seat
Thinking that Chen Bufan did not recognize her, Lin Xueyao felt a slight sense of relief in her heart. She had just been worried that this might be a trap, as the saying goes, "While the mantis stalks the cicada, the oriole is behind." What if this guy was also sent by an enemy? Wouldn't she be delivering herself right to their doorstep?
It turns out that something has happened
What shall we do then? Lin Xueyao asked anxiously
Chen Bufan immediately trembled all over, and a trace of pain appeared on his young yet somewhat weathered face
In the passenger seat, Lin Xueyao glanced back and saw that the group of people had disappeared without a trace. She let out a heavy sigh of relief and patted her fluctuating chest, feeling a sense of liberation.
Looking at Ning Wan's captivating smile in the photo, Chen Bufan's expression was filled with anguish. Instinctively, he reached out to grasp the necklace around his chest, the pendant being quite unique, a bullet engraved with a black skull.
"Do you not recognize me?" Lin Xueyao, seeing Chen Bufan's expression of disappointment, asked with slight confusion
Lost in thought, the phone beside him suddenly vibrated. Without even glancing at it, he answered the call and asked straightforwardly, "Do you have any leads?"
However, it now appears that she was overly concerned
Lin Xueyao's charming face changed instantly, and she quickly turned around to glance behind her. Sure enough, she saw a black Mercedes rapidly closing in. At this rate, it would not take long before she was caught up.
Chen Bufan murmured to himself; he originally did not intend to meddle in others' affairs. However, looking at the woman's face, which bore a striking resemblance to Ning Wan's, it was as if Ning Wan was standing right in front of him. He truly could not summon any thoughts of refusal.
