Chapter 155


    Carrying Jordan Qi, Fade Chen arrived at the ce where Watson Xie had parked their cars. No


    cars were in sight.


    Fade Chen couldn''t help wondering if his opponents had secret assistance which he did not know


    of.


    Fade Chen continued walking. He saw his car at a distance, and hurried towards it with Jordan Qi in


    tow.


    Reaching his car, he had a shock. His brand new car was full of bullet holes, and there were even


    blood stains inside.


    Inspecting the car, Fade Chen discovered that the engine had been destroyed. The car could not be


    started.


    Faced with such a situation, Fade Chen frowned, thinking carefully.


    There was no other option. He had to continue with Jordan Qi by foot.


    Just as Fade Chen began his journey on foot, a celebration was being held on the top floor of Bay


    City''s 5-star luxury hotel.


    The whole floor had been reserved. Staff members could be seen decorating the ce


    busily with milky white drapes, assortments of fragrant flowers and shiny ornaments. It was clear


    that a wedding was about to take ce.


    On the ground floor, the Bay City''s elite arrived in extravagant limousines and sports cars. The


    socialites, the rich and famous and the people in power, they were all here.


    As they entered the hotel, they smiled and chatted with each other.


    "Master Zhang''s wedding announcement was so sudden!"


    "That''s right. We got the invitation yesterday, and today is the wedding ceremony. It is shocking!"


    "Did you hear that Howard Zhang and Quin Lin was originally set to get married a long time ago, but


    due to some unknown circumstances, she decided to marry someone else? And now she is back


    with Howard Zhang? How utterly puzzling!"


    "Speaking of Quin Lin''s husband, I think his name is Fade Chen! I remember him looking really


    striking and handsome at Mr. Wu''s banquet!"


    "Well, his good looks aren''t going to help him now, seems like his wife is going to give her hand of


    marriage to someone else. Where is he though? It looks like he just disappeared into thin air?"


    "Have you heard, Fade Chen and Quin Lin''s marriage was not real, it was just a front. Now that


    Master Zhang and President Lin''s marriage is official and authentic, he is definitely out of the


    picture."


    "In my opinion, Master Zhang and President Lin are the perfect match. They are young, good-


    looking and have rising sess with their careers. They are definitely the darlings of our Bay City


    society."


    There was chattering and much discourse, which livened up the atmosphere.


    In the dressing room, however, Quin Lin was getting her hair done. She stared mutinously at


    Howard Zhang. "I''ve epted your offer. Shouldn''t you release Fade Chen?"


    At the mention of Fade Chen''s name, Howard Zhang''s eyes flickered slightly with irritation. He


    replied coolly, "No worries, let''s go through with the wedding ceremony first."


    "After you be mine, Fade Chen will be released." Howard Zhang relished the words. His eyes


    burnt with lust as he stared at Quin Lin''s beautiful and slender figure.


    Quin Lin was such an exquisite beauty, and the thought of her being under his dominion filled


    Howard Zhang with overwhelming desire. He moved towards Quin Lin, unable to control his lust for


    her.


    Quin Lin leaped back in shock. She grabbed a pair of scissors, cing them on her neck, and


    warned him, "If you touch me now, I will kill myself in front of you."


    Howard Zhang stopped, his passion cooling down. He sneered at her, "It''s alright, you will belong to


    me soon."


    "There is still some time before the wedding. Do be ready. I hope all will proceed as nned,


    otherwise..." Howard Zhang spoke and left.


    Right after he left, Quin Lin copsed in a heap on the ground, her delicate eyes filled with tears.


    She had always been tough to put up a strong front. But confronted with this situation, she couldn''t


    help sobbing.


    She bit her lip, staring at the darkening skies outside her window. "Fade Chen, you saved me once.


    This time, it is my turn to return the favor. We may just be husband and wife in name, but I will not


    let another man near me. If Howard Zhang even dares to touch me, I will kill myself. Anyways, I


    would have been dead if not for you." She thought to herself.


    With a grim smile, Quin Lin''s determination seemed to falter as though signaling her defeat. Her


    expression became wooden and lifeless and she sat in her chair quietly, allowing the makeup artist


    and the hairdresser to do their jobs.


    As the hustle and bustle continued at the hotel, Fade Chen and Jordan Qi finally was clear of the


    woods.


    Fade Chen took out his cell phone. There was a slight signal. Overjoyed, he quickly dialed Quin


    Lin''s number. However, the connection was not good. Fade Chen had to attempt a few times before


    the call finally went through.


    Someone picked up and immediately hung up.


    Fade Chen had a sense of foreboding. He looked through the contact numbers and called Lily Wei.


    After a long interval, the call was picked up. Lily Wei started interrogating him without waiting for him


    to speak. "Where have you been, Fade Chen?"


    Fade Chen was surprised. "Lily, what is it? Do you know where Quin is? Why isn''t she picking up?"


    Lily was astonished. "Haven''t you heard?"


    "Heard what?" Fade Chen became even more agitated.


    Lily Wei hesitated and said. " Apparently Quin is getting married to Howard Zhang. The wedding


    ceremony is tonight at the 5- star hotel."


    "What?" Fade Chen listened in shock. ''What is going on?"


    "You don''t know what''s going on? Me too!" Lily Wei retorted. "Yesterday Quin made this


    announcement. I tried to question her but she refused to exin anything. When I tried calling you, I


    couldn''t get reach of you. Fade Chen, what on earth is going on?"


    Fade Chen took a deep breath, willed himself to calm down, and tried to connect all the dots.


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    He started seeing the big picture.


    Since Lincoln Xie was unsessful in procuring the form to the Life Elixir Wine, he probably


    enlisted his uncle Watson Xie to help him. Watson Xie possibly saw the profit potential of the Life


    Elixir Wine and devised a series of ns to obtain the form to it.


    He first had Jordan Qi kidnapped, seemingly threatening for Fade Chen to hand over the form of


    the Life Elixir Wine. However, he left clear clues on purpose so that Fade Chen would try to go in


    search of him.


    In addition, Watson Xie deliberately brought Jordan Qi to a remote ce, hidden in the mountainous


    forest. At first sight, it seemed that he wanted a good hiding ce but in truth it was a plot to lure


    Fade Chen as far away as he could from town.
