Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife

Chapter 568  Getting Closer (1)

"But of course, that won't be enough, right?" The soldier was named Ivan Abaza. He glanced at Aleksandr and then at Song Yu Han. When their gazes met, he shuddered and quickly looked away. He was a soldier dedicated to being the brain of their team. He handled every piece of information he received and found and treated it like it was his baby. Thus, he knew Song Yu Han was someone that only certain people could meet and speak with.

And having this conversation with him boosted his confidence a lot.

"So, I started digging further. This one here is the first island which is nearer to us. It has a jungle. The second one… it's an island of volcanos."

When investigating, he also came across different points. The first one, although it was a jungle, was bought by an English businessman ten years ago. But the recent years, there has not been much activity on the island. One important thing here is that although the resources were abundant, no animals seemed to live in it. That's one reason why the soldier added it to his list.

On the other hand, the second was a renowned place called the 'Land of Volcanos' for having not only 2 but five active volcanoes that could erupt at any moment. And it was another place for a human to not live on.

"What do you think, Mr. Song?" Aleksandr asked after the soldier was done speaking. "We will raid the two islands as soon as you order us to."

Song Yu Han fell into a deep contemplation. What the soldier had provided was indeed very useful. But he still felt that something was strange.

Yet, Song Yu Han couldn't tell where this strange sensation of feeling something was not right was coming from. Should he just go to the two islands? But what if Ran Xueyi isn't there?

"What about the third island?" suddenly, Song Yu Han asked this question.

The soldier looked at him and replied, "It doesn't fit the island we want to raid. But, it's a land of snow. And the Volkov family bought it."

"Volkov?" Andrew interjected.

"You know them?" Song Yu Han turned to him.

Scratching his temple, Andrew replied, "The Volkov family is currently the powerhouse of the mafia world in Russia. The head of the family is Mikhail Volkov. You know him, boss. He's the old man who wanted to give his daughter to you before you came back to Flower Country."

Song Yu Han's plan to return was spread widely amongst the leaders of the world and the underworld. At that time, many of them sent their daughters to him. Either to seduce him or even have a one-night stand with him. It didn't matter whether they were successful in roping Song Yu Han to their side, what was important was for him to give them a chance to get his favor, even at the cost of their daughter's life.

Naturally, none of them succeeded.

Andrew continued when he noticed Song Yu Han didn't seem to remember who he was talking about. It was normal for him to not remember after so many women tried to vie for his attention. He said, "It's the girl who tried to strike a deal with you—the one who told you that you both could be friends with benefits—though you turned her down and ordered us to bring her out."

Song Yu Han finally remembered. The woman was beautiful, but many women also had a beautiful appearance. Moreover, he was never interested in a woman's outward appearance and never judged them. If he was, there'd be no end to the women he'd already sent to his bed.

As a man himself, Song Yu Han should have been long tempted by how many desperate attempts were made against him. But he remained unmovable as a mountain and abstained from worldly pleasures like a high monk because it reminded him of his past and his mother.

It was only when he met Ran Xueyi and experienced what it meant to be happy as a husband and wife that he finally released all the restraints he had enforced upon himself.

"Tell me about the third island."

"Eh?" the soldier was stunned. But he still answered truthfully, "Like I said, it's a land of snow and owned by the Volkov family. It's also an island that is being used by his family members. Right now, his eldest grandson is living on that island. A couple of weeks ago, he was seen leaving the island. But after that, he was no longer seen by our surveillance."

"A couple of weeks?" Song Yu Han grew even more sure of his suspicion. It was during that time that Alina also disappeared. Could the eldest grandson have something to do with what happened to Alina?

"Uh…do you want me to investigate the Volkov family?" the soldier asked.

"Can you do that?"

"Sure!"

Inside the island.

Ran Xueyi tossed and turned on the bed. She couldn't stop thinking about what Evgenia told her. And honestly, she couldn't make a decision.

She didn't want to sacrifice Alina for the sins she had done, which she couldn't remember. But she also couldn't agree on what Evgenia wanted her to do.

"Right, I have to see Alina and ask her something."

Ran Xueyi sprung up from the bed and quickly covered herself with a jacket.

Staying with him on this island meant leaving Song Yu Han and Little Zhanzhan. The two males in her family were her life. Leaving them was the same as stabbing her chest and letting her heart bleed.

Then, what? What should she do?

"Right, I have to see Alina and ask her something."

Ran Xueyi sprung up from the bed and quickly covered herself with a jacket.

Inside the basement, Alina leaned her back against the wall. She was sitting on the cold floor with a ball of white fur prancing around her. When it stopped, it would nibble on her fingers and only stop when Alina tried to take her hand away, pulling it back to nibble on it again.

"I'm not your toy, Snow white." Alina took her hand back and sighed. She named the fox 'Snow White' because of its fur being so white like snow. It even shimmered when under the glow of light.

Cooped up in the basement with an omnivore pet was definitely not her idea. But after going back to this room, the fox was already there waiting for her and pounced on her.

The fox didn't seem to think of her as a dangerous person, as it continued to play with her. But Alina was too tired to respond to its playful antiques.

"Ugh," Alina groaned as she touched her stomach. When she lifted her hand, a red stain was visible.

"No wonder it hurts," she murmured.

As if smelling something, the fox stopped moving and got close to her bloodstained hand. And before Alina could stop it, the fox's tongue slipped out of its mouth and licked her hand.

"No, Snow White!" Alina quickly covered her palm and pushed the fox away.

Seemingly scared away by her sudden outburst, the fox ran away. It looked sad and pitiful.

Feeling sorry, Alina cooed, "Sorry. I didn't mean to raise my voice just now, Snow White. You can come here, just don't lick my blood, okay?"

But what she didn't notice was that they weren't alone.

At this moment, Evgenia, who had been leaning against the door and watching the two with pure interest, opened his mouth.

"Snow white?"
