Lin Nuan said softly, “But he’s Jacob Bellucci and not Gu Qingcheng! It’s not right for you to regard him as a substitute!”
Yun Liuli gazed at Lin Nuan, biting her lower lip very tightly, her tears flowing down more relentlessly.
“Then what am I going to do?” Yun Liuli’s voice was quivering. “Sister Xiao Nuan, what am I going to do? He has left… In order to escape from me, he chose to be separated from me in death. What am I to do?”
Lin Nuan sighed. She reached out to hug Yun Liuli.
“Sister Xiao Nuan… I’ve thought of dying!” Yun Liuli said as she cried. “I wanted to leave with him after his funeral ended. I wanted him to forget about ditching me even in the netherworld! But… Jacob Bellucci came! He looks exactly the same as Gu Qingcheng! I even feel that… Gu Qingcheng sent Jacob Bellucci to my side after seeing that I’m so determined I’m even willing to die!”
Hearing Yun Liuli’s words, Sheng Kang couldn’t conceal his shock, his lips trembling.
He had perhaps never imagined that Yun Liuli loved Gu Qingcheng so deeply…
“Sister Xiao Nuan…” Yun Liuli was still crying. “Without Gu Qingcheng, without Jacob Bellucci… I won’t be able to live!”
Sheng Kang’s body shivered. He recalled the call that Gu Qingcheng’s assistant made to him before dying. He said that Gu Qingcheng had encountered an accident and asked him to take care of the organization’s matters adequately. He also told Sheng Kang to ensure himself retreat from the situation safely, that it was okay even if he did it by betraying Gu Qingcheng!
Gu Qingcheng’s assistant even urged him not to think about revenge. He only asked that Sheng Kang return to Haicheng and stay at a place not far from Yun Liuli… protecting her safety forever!
Sheng Kang clenched his fists tightly by his sides.
Before Gu Qingcheng’s assistant finished his words, Sheng Kang heard a gunshot over the phone. After that, there was silence. When someone picked up the phone again, it was Saihand!
Sheng Kang tightened his fists and heaved a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, he had brought Jacob Bellucci back!
Back then, he had gone to Venice to look for Jacob Bellucci. After clearly telling Jacob Bellucci what happened, he returned to the hotel… and was thinking to himself, that he would only wait for three days. Three days later, if Jacob Bellucci still didn’t come to him, he was going to return to the country to attend Gu Qingcheng’s funeral.
That day, he had already packed his luggage and was ready to leave. Jacob Bellucci only showed up at the last minute!
It was hard to imagine that if Sheng Kang had so much as left 10 minutes early… Yun Liuli might have ended up dying. If that had happened, he would have failed at what Gu Qingcheng entrusted him to do.
But what should he do about this?
He was now, on the surface, Saihand’s man. Saihand asked him to stay in Haicheng and secretly keep tabs on Fu Huai’an and gang’s movements. He… was afraid that if he interfered in Jacob Bellucci’s matters now, Saihand might misunderstand Jacob Bellucci to be Gu Qingcheng and develop an intention to kill Jacob Bellucci. If that happened, wouldn’t he have harmed Gu Qingcheng’s younger brother?
For Jacob Bellucci… to be safe, it was best that he leave Haicheng and never have any association with anyone or anything in Haicheng ever again.
Sheng Kang was in a difficult position. He didn’t know what he should do, so he subconsciously looked towards Fu Huai’an once again.
Fu Huai’an looked calm and deep, like usual. He said to Lin Nuan, “Take Yun Liuli upstairs to rest first!”
Lin Nuan nodded. She helped Yun Liuli up the stairs…
It seemed like Sheng Kang had no hopes of taking the camera with him today!
Sheng Kang could only call Jacob Bellucci and say that he might need to come to the Fu residence personally to retrieve his camera!
But Jacob Bellucci replied, “No need, I’ve already called the police!”
Sheng Kang widened his eyes.
“Mr. Jacob Bellucci, this… this isn’t necessary, is it?” Sheng Kang sounded like he was in a difficult position. “After all, you and Miss Yun are considered family!”
“Don’t tell me that the laws in China are different from those in Venice! I can’t call the police after I was robbed?” Jacob Bellucci’s dark voice sounded doubtful, making it sound as if he truly didn’t quite understand.
Sheng Kang was speechless.
After ending the call, Sheng Kang truly had an urge to cuss…
Was this Jacob Bellucci really Mr. Gu’s younger brother? Why did he take things to the extreme! The person who snatched away his camera… was his older brother Gu Qingcheng’s adopted daughter. Strictly speaking, that made her his niece!
Why couldn’t he settle this family matter privately? He just had to call the police!
Moreover, he didn’t even inform him before he called the police!
Did he make a mistake? Could this Jacob Bellucci not be Mr. Gu’s younger brother? Where did this man made of bronze come from? He was so unfeeling!
After hanging up, Sheng Kang could only say to Fu Huai’an, “Mr. Fu, Mr. Jacob Bellucci has already called the police. What should we do?”
Fu Huai’an frowned upon hearing this. He said to Sheng Kang, “Call Mr. Jacob Bellucci’s number, let me talk to him…”
Sheng Kang hurriedly dialed the number and handed the phone to Fu Huai’an.
The call went through. Fu Huai’an stood in the corridor with one hand in his pocket, his voice deep and calm. “Mr. Jacob Bellucci, I’m Fu Huai’an, Gu Qingcheng’s good friend while he was alive. Yun Liuli is at my place right now, and your camera is also here. The kid is insensible, and I hope you won’t take it to heart. I’ll take care of all the expenses you incur while you’re in the country! If you don’t disdain it… I’ll send someone over to pick you up to have a meal at my place. You can also see if there’s any damage done to your camera. We’ll compensate you fully!”
It wasn’t known what reply Fu Huai’an got, but Sheng Kang saw his expression darken. “Perhaps Mr. Jacob Bellucci doesn’t understand. In Haicheng… if I don’t agree to it, no police would dare take Yun Liuli away from my Fu residence.”
Now things sounded serious. Sheng Kang found his heart pound slightly.
“Okay!” Fu Huai’an hung up the phone and returned it to Sheng Kang.
Holding the phone, Sheng Kang saw that Fu Huai’an didn’t look very well. He asked, “Mr. Fu, what did he say?”
Fu Huai’an shook his head and called Little Lu using his phone. “Little Lu, tell the deputy director of the provincial office that we have a kid from our home, Yun Liuli, who committed some mischief. She snatched away her uncle’s camera, hoping he would stay in Haicheng for a few more days. In the end, her uncle, who came from Venice, got angry and called the police. The joke has gone too far now. Ask him to think of a way to resolve this!”
By the sounds of it… Jacob Bellucci had insisted on calling the police!
Little Lu was a smart one. Upon hearing this, it was immediately clear to him that it had something to do with Jacob Bellucci, who came from Venice. He quickly accepted this task and said he would go to the provincial office personally.
After he hung up the call, Sheng Kang looked at Fu Huai’an and said after a moment of hesitation, “Why don’t I go to Mr. Jacob Bellucci? We’ll try to convince Miss Liuli to return the camera and hope he’ll let the matter rest!”
Fu Huai’an nodded. “Little Lu is heading to the provincial office now. You can go to Jacob Bellucci and try to persuade him. If a soft tactic doesn’t work…”
