Abyss Dominator System-Chapter 21 - 18 I like him!

To the southeast of Mo City's downtown, St Kilda Avenue, also known as the "backyard of Mo City."

Over a century of development, St Kilda Avenue has become a golden zone of culture, recreation, shopping, and dining, with convenient transportation in all directions. The nearby blocks are mostly residential villas, and the house prices are among the top in Melbourne.

It can be said this is the famous rich district of Mo City.

Those who can live on St Kilda Avenue are either rich or noble.

On St Kilda Avenue, there's a British-style single-family villa with an inviting atmosphere that occupies about 300 square meters. Lush lawns and trees set against the bright red walls, white windows, and black tiles give it an air of elegance and dignity.

The villa is constructed with hand-made red bricks, carbon-baked original wooden beams, wrought iron railings, and handmade window decorations with inlaid patterns, filled with natural charm.

The seemingly understated villa, however, is worth its weight in gold, with a construction area of 300 square meters in Mo City's real estate market worth at least 3.3 million Australian dollars, equivalent to 16 million RMB.

At the moment, the lights in the villa's living room are on.

A girl who looks to be about seventeen or eighteen years old is sitting on an expensive sofa. She's wearing a silky white nightgown, with her tender arms exposed, her skin creamy and as smooth as jade.

The girl is about 1.62 meters tall, with her bangs neatly combed. With cheeks like peach blossoms, brows like willow leaves, her big eyes carry a bit of innocence mixed with a faint sense of melancholy and helplessness. Her misty eyes and long lashes tremble slightly.

The warm-toned chandelier in the hall reflects the villa's warmth and sweetness, but it can't chase away the irritation in the girl's heart.

In front of her, on the expensive rosewood coffee table, there lies a stack of documents, on the very top of which is a three-inch photo of Bai Yan with a radiant smile!

"Dingling, ling."

The living room phone rings.

The beautiful girl picks up the phone, her voice as clear and soft as that of an oriole, and softly she says, "Speak."

"Miss, we've confirmed that the target was kidnapped and taken to the Eastern Suburb tonight. We've recovered the belongings that the target was carrying, but they've all been burned, leaving nothing but ruins and no evidence."

"Additionally, the second team discovered evidence of a fight inside an abandoned factory in the Eastern Suburb. Experts speculate from the footprints found onsite that the target was there, but both the kidnapper and the target have disappeared without a trace."

"The third team stationed at Mo City University reported back 20 minutes ago that the target has safely returned to the university."

The voice over the phone carries respect.

They are the young lady's bodyguards, each one an elite, responsible for her safety and following her commands.

"Then, did you find out who kidnapped him?"

The beautiful girl bites her lips, her voice still crisp and pleasant, but anyone can hear the concern for someone.

"We didn't find out, miss. We're incompetent!"

"The other party clearly has strong connections and hired professionals to clean up, making it hard to find evidence. The only thing we can confirm is that the kidnappers are local thugs from Mo City, but we haven't determined which gang they belong to."

An apologetic voice comes through the phone.

This is already the second incident this week that they have failed to resolve.

Three days ago, the young lady and her school friends went to a restaurant in a certain block, and an unidentified elite squad later raided the place, attempting to abduct the young lady. The bodyguards suffered heavy losses.

Fortunately, the young lady was not taken away and was safely escorted home.

Today, the tutor that the young lady had just hired was kidnapped!

Although the tutor has safely returned to the university, the mastermind and kidnapper have not been found!

This leaves the bodyguards filled with shame, being elite bodyguards sent from the headquarters of the An Group to protect the young lady, and yet they have faltered again. Such negligence!

"It's okay."

An Xiaowan lets out a sigh of relief. Hearing the news that Bai Yan is safely back at school, the previously distracted emotions have also somewhat relaxed.

She didn't care about the kidnapping she experienced three days ago. Instead, she instructed the bodyguards, "You must find the person who kidnapped Bai Yan! Contact the Chinese Association of Mo City, and even if it means using all of An Group's connections in Mo City, we must find the kidnapper!"

Compared to herself, she seems to value Bai Yan more.

"Understood, miss."

A deep voice from the phone responds, followed by slight hesitation. "Miss, there's one more thing..."

"What's the matter?"

"Miss, the news about your kidnapping three days ago can't be kept secret any longer. The eldest miss has already called to ask about it, and she is very angry. She wants you to come back to the Hua Xia Beijing head office immediately..."

The voice on the other end of the phone carried a trace of fear; they were very afraid of this eldest miss.

As An Xiaowan's sister and the current president of An International Group, she was the Sect Leader of the An Group.

Everyone who still relied on the An Family for a living feared this decisive and iron-handed ice beauty.

"I got it."

An Xiaowan furrowed her brows and sighed softly.

She then hung up the call and dialed her sister's number using her personal phone.

"Xiao Wan?! Why are you only calling me now?"

"The incident happened three days ago; how much longer were you planning to keep it from me! Pack your things tomorrow morning; I've already booked your flight back to the country!"

"Come back immediately and don't delay! As for the person who kidnapped you, I will inform the Mayor of Mo City and the Mo City police force, and also contact the embassy to pursue the culprit with all our efforts!"

An Xiaowan had just answered the call when a stream of concerned words, tinged with anxiety and anger, came from the other end.

This magnetic and pleasant feminine voice belonged to An Xiaowan's sister, An Yan.

"But, sister... what about Bai Yan?"

An Xiaowan was taken aback, feeling somewhat reluctant to return when her sister asked her to, she said softly, "We can't leave him alone and helpless abroad, I've already promised Aunt Su to go overseas to take care of him in Mo City."

"What a joke! Does a grown man like him really need your care? Also, it was I who promised Aunt Su to take care of him for a year or two, how can we allow you to do this?"

An Yan was somewhat angry. She had only this one younger sister whom she cherished as a treasure, how could she let her sister be put in danger because of a man she didn't love?

"But I..."

An Xiaowan's beautiful eyes shimmered with a pained light. She was impulsive, about to reveal the deep secret in her heart, but stopped herself just as the words reached her lips.

"But what?"

"Nothing... Sister, I will not go back. This is what the An Family owes him, if you do not agree to the marriage with Bai Yan, at least let me make it up to him. After all, his parents died because of grandfather."

There was a hint of determination in An Xiaowan's voice, her lovely and charming face framed by enticingly large eyes, which blurred with rising mist.

She hesitated, whether to tell her sister that matter...

"Enough! Don't say anymore! I will not let you be hurt because of a man from the Bai Family!"

An Yan took a deep breath and said sternly over the phone, "If you refuse to come back, then I will personally go to Mo City after a while and bring you home!"

"I will not return! I like him!"

For some reason, An Xiaowan shuddered, a surge of courage allowed these words to slip out.

However.

The busy tone "beep beep beep" already sounded from the other end of the phone, An Yan had hung up, and she did not hear this sentence.

"I..."

An Xiaowan paused, then looked down, placing the phone aside, her fair and slender fingers like jade twisting the corner of her dress.

She didn't know whether to feel relieved or regretful.

"Sister, what should I do?"

Her voice clear and melodious, it trembled with profound confusion, murmuring as if speaking to herself, or perhaps to An Yan, "Sister... I truly like him."

"Sister, I'm sorry... I'm already his..."

An Xiaowan sobbed softly, her voice tender and pleasant, as if shrouded by an unresolvable sorrow intertwined in her beautiful eyes.

The Chinese goddess of Mo City University, known as the loveliest girl An Xiaohua, now had eyes brimming with tears, brows furrowed in gloom, as if there was an insoluble knot within her heart.

If it became known that she was so heartbroken over a man, that man would probably be the target of much jealousy and resentment.
