"No need to thank you." Ye Fan shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Duke has offended me many times. This kind of person must be a disaster in your family.
It's up to you to decide how to deal with it. As an outsider, I can't say anything!"
"Yes, yes, I will take back all Duke's property, let him think about his mistakes at home, cultivate his moral character, and never leave home again in this life!"
"Well, that's fine, it's better than letting him out and causing trouble for your Gulton family!" Ye Fan nodded and smiled.
Duke's face turned pale, he bowed and got up from the ground. His eyes when he looked at Mark were not only devoid of gratitude, but also full of hostility.
Now that grandpa has spoken, his future in this life is completely over.
Although he won't starve to death, being under house arrest and no longer able to contact the colorful world outside would be even worse than killing him.
Seeing that Duke was still unwilling to give in, Earl Gulton immediately shouted: "Duke, Mr. Ye is so magnanimous, why don't you thank him?"
"Thank you Mr. Ye for your life!" Duke lowered his head, with a ferocious look in his eyes.
"Get up." Ye Fan said calmly, "From now on, stay in the Gulton family's manor and don't let me see you in other places, otherwise, you will die ugly."
"I know...I know." Duke did not dare to disobey Ye Fan's wishes and could only grit his teeth and said.
"Okay, everyone, let's meet again when we are destined!" Ye Fan cupped his hands and smiled, turned around and walked out of the villa.
Banner saw that Ye Fan did not intend to stay for a long time, so he quickly informed Annie and Naya and asked them to send Ye Fan away.
Ye Fan met two young people in the front garden and arrived at the airport by car.
The three of them stood at the entrance of the passage. Ye Fan smiled and touched Annie's head: "Okay, I'm leaving. You two, brother and sister, take care."
"Ye, are you leaving in such a hurry?" Annie was a little reluctant, "I didn't even entertain you properly..."
"We don't need to be so polite." Ye Fan thought for a while and said to Naya: "Naya, you go back to the car first. I have something to say to Annie in private."
"Okay!" Naya raised his eyebrows at his sister, the hint was very obvious.
Watching Na Ya walk out of the airport, Ye Fan sighed and said with a wry smile: "Annie, you like me, right?"
"Yes." Annie nodded and admitted simply: "Ye, you are an excellent man, and I respect you very much!
But, you already have a girlfriend. Don’t worry, I will hide my love and will never disturb your life!"
Anne looked very disappointed and her mood was very complicated.
"Alas..." Ye Fan shook his head and whispered: "Actually, I have nothing good to do. You shouldn't become so depressed because of me.
I admire how you looked when I first met you. You are confident, generous and very attractive."
"You...are you willing to accept me?" Annie's face lit up, her eyes full of hope.
"No, that's not what I meant." Ye Fan waved his hand and said with a smile: "I hope you can step out of my shadow. You know, there are many good men in this world, and I am definitely not the only one.
You are so beautiful, you will definitely meet your own Prince Charming!"
"I...I know." Annie understood Mark's determination, lowered her head and fell silent.
Ye Fan shrugged his shoulders, suddenly stepped forward to hug Annie, and said with a smile: "Have a good life, goodbye!"
Annie leaned into Ye Fan's arms and nodded gently, "Ye, goodbye."
Ye Fan smiled, turned around and walked into the passage. He quickly disappeared into the crowd and disappeared.
Annie watched Ye Fan leave, with tears filling her eyes.
She knew that Mark would not look back for her, but there was an unspeakable sting in her heart.
Ye Fan got on the plane and sighed slightly.
In fact, he didn't feel very good, but he had to be more decisive, otherwise Anne would sink deeper and deeper.
Not long after, the plane took off and arrived at the Paris airport two hours later.
He did not plan to return to China immediately, but planned to stay in Paris for a few more days before returning.
The Goulton family's trip went smoothly this time. The work that was originally expected to take half a month was completed in only seven days.
Ye Fan wanted to spend a few more days with Wu Xue, and it would be better if he could convince her to come back.
As soon as Ye Fan got off the plane, he took a taxi to the city.
He didn't notify Wu Xue and wanted to give her a surprise.
Before going to Wu Xue's residence, Ye Fan also bought a large bouquet of roses. Wu Xue must be very happy.
Ye Fan had the key to Wu Xue's house, so he opened the door directly and entered the room.
But there was no one in the room, and there was some dust in the room. It seemed that Wu Xue had not come back to live in the past few days.
But this is normal. Wu Xue is still studying and has work to do at the Chinese restaurant.
She prepared this residence for the weekend. Although today is Friday, she will probably go to the Chinese restaurant after school and will not come back until it closes.
When Ye Fan got off the plane, it was already past nine o'clock. He waited in the house until midnight, but Wu Xue still didn't come back.
“Is the Chinese restaurant’s business particularly good on Fridays?”
Ye Fan was a little impatient, so he simply put the flowers at the door, packed his things, and went out to the Chinese restaurant.
Wu Xue's residence is not far from the Champs Elysees. It only takes half an hour to walk and ten minutes to drive.
Ye Fan took a taxi and came to the Chinese restaurant. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the waiter clearing the table.
"Sir, I'm sorry, we are already closed." The little girl at the service desk came up and said, "If you need to make a reservation, I can help you arrange a table for tomorrow."
"No need to bother, I'm here to see you, Mr. Wu." Ye Fan looked around, "Is she there?"
"Oh, Mr. Wu hasn't been to the restaurant for several days. The manager said that Mr. Wu is preparing for an important exam, so..."
Before the waiter finished speaking, the manager suddenly came down from the second floor. When he saw Ye Fan, he was overjoyed and then ran downstairs with a strange look on his face.
"Mr. Ye, you are here!"
Seeing his hurried expression, Ye Fan suddenly felt something was wrong and quickly asked: "Where is Wu Xue?"
"Mr. Ye, come with me." The manager looked around, winked at Ye Fan, and quickly led Ye Fan to the office.
After closing the door, the manager asked anxiously: "Mr. Ye, after Mr. Wu sent you to the airport last time, he never showed up again, and you can't be contacted on the phone... Mr. Wu may have been kidnapped!"
"Huh?" Ye Fan was suddenly startled, and his face immediately darkened, "How did you know you were kidnapped? Didn't you say you were preparing for an important exam?"
"That's what I said deliberately for the sake of the normal operation of the restaurant."
The manager said bitterly: "I called the police this morning. Based on the surveillance cameras in the underground parking lot of the airport, the police determined that it was a man-made kidnapping. But so far, the kidnappers have not contacted us..."
As he said that, the manager pulled up a video from his phone.
It can be seen from the video that Wu Xue was on the phone in the car when a young man wearing a peaked cap suddenly got into her car.
Immediately afterwards, Wu Xue fell on the steering wheel.
Then a big white man suddenly appeared next to the car, opened the door, carried Wu Xue into the trunk, got into the driver's seat, and drove away.
There are several other videos on the manager's cell phone, showing Wu Xue's car leaving Paris.
It's just that the other party is very sensitive to cameras and has avoided many surveillance cameras on the streets.
"Not an ordinary person!" Ye Fan frowned, "Where was the last location of this car?"
"In a forest park in the eastern suburbs of Paris!" the manager said truthfully.
"It's normal that the police have sent people inside, but the forest park is very large, covering more than 800 square kilometers. The police are short of manpower and it is difficult to complete the search in a short time."
"Are there any suspects at this stage?" Ye Fan asked again.
"No. We, Mr. Wu, have nothing to say about her. No matter in the restaurant or at school, everyone likes her very much."
"Could they be competitors?" Ye Fan asked again.
"It's hard to say. But the police have investigated the surrounding restaurants and the business of those restaurant owners is also very good.
Moreover, most of our restaurants are Chinese customers, which can bring customers to other restaurants to a certain extent, so they have no reason to kidnap Mr. Wu."
The manager's statement was based not only on his own conjecture but also on the police investigation. It was well-founded, so it was difficult to include the surrounding competitors as suspects.
Can't find the suspect...
Suddenly, Ye Fan narrowed his eyes.
No, who said there are no suspects?
Isn’t there a villain in the Gulton family?
With his character, he might actually be able to kidnap Wu Xue!
Ye Fan has seen many people hate because of love.
Most of their mentality is very changed, "I'm not living well, you can't have a good life either", "I can't get it, no one can get it"!
Duke is probably this kind of person!
"I understand." Ye Fan let out a heavy breath and then patted the manager on the shoulder, "You did a good job. When I get Wu Xue back, she will reward you!"
"Mr. Ye, do you know the whereabouts of Mr. Wu?" The manager was overjoyed when he heard that Ye Fan could find Wu Xue back.
"Well, I will definitely bring her back!"
Ye Fan nodded firmly, asked the manager to send the video to him, and then left the Chinese restaurant.
He found a quiet corner and watched the video clearly frame by frame.
In the video, the first person to get on the bus was a young man. Judging from his body shape and skin color, he was probably Chinese. The later man was Caucasian, and he could tell at a glance.
However, these two people were very carefully dressed, so it was impossible to see their appearance.
Ye Fan's body was filled with murderous intent, and within five meters of the surrounding area, the temperature reached freezing point.
He dialed Banner's phone number, and the first sentence he said was: "When I flew to Norway yesterday, my girlfriend was kidnapped!"
Banner was about to ask Mark to greet him. When he heard these words, he was immediately startled.
"Mr. Ye, you, your girlfriend was kidnapped?"
"Well." Ye Fan said in a deep voice: "It's most likely that Duke did it, because he was pursuing my girlfriend during this time.
This is why, from the day I came to Europe, he has always hated me!"
"Duke, you bastard!" Banner yelled, "Mr. Ye, don't worry, I'll confront Duke right away and make sure he sends your wife back!
He didn’t know how powerful you were before, and now he definitely won’t dare to offend you again!”
