The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

Lanni glared at the screen. Can I beat this man up? 

"You shameless man! How dare you joke around about such a matter?" She leaned over Xiehan's shoulder and was about to end the call when she felt that something wasn't right. "How did you know that my dad is missing?" 

Flynn chuckled aloud. "Don't give me that suspicious look, okay? I just received intel and wanted to confirm it. It seems like the rumor was true after all." 

Lanni no longer knew what to do with him. Xiehan, on the other hand, was staring at the man as though his eyes could pierce through the screen and right into the man's body. "Since you have nothing to say, quit bothering my girlfriend." 

Flynn laughed even louder when he heard the warning. "Ha, girlfriend? My princess will never have a boyfriend and even if she does…" 

To stop him from speaking any more nonsense, Lanni leaned over again and was going to slam the laptop shut. 

"Actually, princess, I really have your dad." The man suddenly spoke again. This time, he sounded like he had stopped fooling around and was more serious. 

"What did you say?" Lanni felt a chill down her spine. 

"Please don't blame me, okay? I didn't want to kidnap him either. It's just… orders from above." 

"You're kidding." She said sternly. 

But this time, Flynn was no longer laughing and making fun of her. "I'll send a video to your phone. Once you watch it, you can decide whether I'm joking or not." 

Just as he finished speaking, Lanni's phone chimed and she took it out with trembling hands. 

A few seconds into watching the video, she looked pale with shock. 

Xiehan and Luna rushed to her side to watch the video and were even more confused. How could such a thing happen without anyone noticing? 

In the video, Flynn walked into the ward boldly like it was part of his own territory. He chatted with Xia Hanchen casually for a moment then suddenly injected with with a liquid and the latter passed out. 

After that, he wheeled Xia Hanchen out of the room so openly that it was hard to believe that no one saw them. 

"What's all this? What do you want?" Luna was the first to snap out of the shock and ask. "No matter how much you ask for, we will give it to you. Just return our dad to us." 

Flynn clicked his tongue in disdain. "If I wanted money, why would I get the old man? I would kidnap the princess, okay? She is more valuable." 

"What do you want then?" Tears glistened at the corners of Lanni's eyes. 

Flynn focused on her and then glanced at Luna and Xiehan. "Excuse us." 

"We are not going anywhere." Luna blurted. 

Flynn huffed and focused on Xiehan instead. "If something happened to your future father-in-law because you are being stubborn, I'm afraid the beauty will no longer want you." 

Xiehan was about to retort when Lanni held his hand and squeezed it. "It's alright." It was a video call anyway. 

Luna and Xiehan had no choice but to go out. 

As soon as they were out of the room, Luna let out a string of curses. "That despicable monster! I can't believe I once thought he was a good match for my sister." 

She shut her mouth when she realized that Xiehan was right beside her. Luckily, he was not paying attention to her and was busy on his phone instead. 

He made a string of phone calls and when he was done, he glanced at the shut door. 'That idiot better not have any intentions towards my woman.' He thought. 

As a man himself, he knew that Flynn's gaze towards Lanni was complicated. It was as though he missed her, longed to meet her again and the thought of it was driving Xiehan crazy. 

He was done gathering his special team and was about to start giving them instructions when Lanni left the room looking dejected. 

"What's going on? What did he ask for?" Luna rushed over worriedly. 

Lanni stumbled into Xiehan's embrace, looking like her whole life had been sucked out of her. "He wants me to go back to Germany."

"Go to Germany…" Xiehan repeated the words he bad been dreading to hear the most. From the moment that man asked him and Luna to leave the room, he guessed that it would involve such a request but even then, he was still shocked to actually hear it. 

"G-go to Germany?" Luna was stunned too but she reacted faster. "Then let's go. We will go together and bring several trained men with us. He will not be able to hurt a strand of hair on your head." 

"You don't understand." Lanni was so confused that her head hurt. "He didn't ask me to go to Germany to bring him back. He wants me back in the organization. He wants me to take back my identity as Phoenix." 

"That's not going to happen." An icy glint flashed past Xiehan's eyes. He didn't know much about the said organization but one thing was for sure. Being a member of that organization was the reason why Lanni's life was sought in the past. 

She had recovered more of her memory in recent days so she had told him about it. Before her accident, she had offended several powerful figures by exposing their dirty deeds. If she went back to that sort of lifestyle… 

Lanni knew what he was thinking and sighed. "What else can we do? Send your special team to Germany to bring him back? I'm afraid that's not possible." 

"What's impossible about it?" Xiehan frowned. 

"That organization…" Lanni didn't know what words to use. "They are all sly foxes and are hard to deal with. If they were not sure that nothing would go wrong, they wouldn't have used this method." 

Xiehan knew that hard-to-deal-with sly foxes was an understatement but even then, he was not willing to let Lanni go to that place. "Why don't we at least try? If we fail, I will go with you." 

"I have an idea." Luna spoke up before Lanni could answer. "I will go on your behalf." 

"What are you saying?" Lanni was stunned. 

"Aren't we identical? We are in fact, so identical that even Xingyu and Xiehan couldn't tell us apart." She laughed, referring to how the two men had both thought that they had fallen for the same woman. "If I go in your place, no one will ever suspect a thing."
