Chapter 416: Chapter 416: Liao Qianqian’s Request

"So what?" Fu Shiyan tapped his fingertips on the table, rhythmically and lightly, not caring at all about that matter, "I’ve told my fourth and fifth uncles, I won’t interfere with their company’s affairs."

The implication was that whether they lived or died, it had nothing to do with him, Fu Shiyan.

Duan Jianchuan realized what Fu Shiyan was thinking and stopped that topic, acting as if nothing had happened.

He had originally suspected that Fu Shiyan wouldn’t stand by and watch the other members of the Fu Family die without helping, which is why he asked.

Now that he knew Fu Shiyan’s thoughts, naturally, he wouldn’t say more.

Jiangli, having heard their conversation, glanced at Fu Shiyan’s expression and whispered, "The trouble the Fu Family and Miao Family are in now, that’s all Mr. Fu’s doing, isn’t it?"

"What do you think?" Fu Shiyan asked with a light laugh in return.

Meeting his smiling gaze, Jiangli smiled faintly, "Mr. Fu, that’s quite a bold move."

Fu Shiyan shared a knowing smile with her, tacitly agreeing not to bring up the matter again.

After dinner, Jiangli and others, including Fu Shiyan, found a hotel to stay in, and it was already midnight.

Upon arriving at the hotel rooms, they all went their separate ways.

"Abbot, you should rest early," Fu Shiyan stood at Jiangli’s door, speaking in a gentle voice.

Jiangli answered cheerfully, "You too, Mr. Fu."

Fu Shiyan smiled at her, watching her enter the room before he turned and left.

After closing the door, the smile on Jiangli’s face vanished completely.

She took out a talisman, looked down at it, but couldn’t remember when she had carved it, nor when she had lost it here.

She didn’t know why...

Looking at this talisman, she felt an inexplicable emptiness in her heart, as though a large hollow had been carved out, letting cold air seep in, making her feel very uncomfortable.

"Elder Ancestor..."

Fu’er and Liao Qianqian, who had followed her in quietly, bowed to Jiangli from a distance.

Hearing their voices, Jiangli snapped back to reality and looked up at them.

Seeing Liao Qianqian staring at the talisman in her hand with a clearly frightened expression, Jiangli put it away before saying, "You both must have heard the results of the police investigation, right?"

Fu’er and Liao Qianqian had both been present at the meal, albeit unseen by the others.

The two of them nodded together.

"Knowing is good, I’ll spare the details," Jiangli fixed her gaze on Liao Qianqian, and said, "The police have found your body in the basement of the Fu Yi’s house, and will contact your family as soon as possible. As for you, I will keep my promise to you; I will take you to reincarnation."

"Wait."

Before Jiangli could finish, Liao Qianqian abruptly interjected, her expression urgent.

Jiangli asked indifferently, "What is it?"

Liao Qianqian twisted her hands, biting her lip as if unsure how to begin.

Jiangli: "Just say what you want to say."

Liao Qianqian moistened her lips, eyeing Jiangli’s expression cautiously before she ventured, "Master, can I, can I go home first..."

Jiangli raised an eyebrow.

Liao Qianqian hurriedly added, "I... I am an only daughter to my parents, and ours is just an ordinary family. They went through a lot of trouble raising me and sending me to university, and now I’ve ended up like this... And with the school and police being misled by Fu Yuxing, they think I’m just missing... I am afraid my parents won’t be able to accept the news of my death suddenly..."

Jiangli looked at Liao Qianqian’s eyes, which were gradually reddening, and said, "I can promise you this. I don’t think I’ll be leaving H City in the next few days. As soon as your parents come to the police station to identify the body, I’ll find a way for you to see them one last time."

"Thank you, Master, thank you so much!" Liao Qianqian became visibly excited, bowing repeatedly to Jiangli.

Jiangli waved her hand dismissively, "It’s a small matter; you don’t need to thank me."
