The Tycoon's Mysterious Darling Wife
Chapter 393 - 395. Young Master Fu, disdained by his own father

Chapter 393: 395. Young Master Fu, disdained by his own father

Shen Qinglan looked at Fu Hengyi’s stiff back, her gaze shifting, "Fu Hengyi, is there something wrong with the child?" Her voice carried an unconscious tremble.

Fu Hengyi knew she had misunderstood and quickly turned around, walking over, "Don’t worry, don’t worry, the child is in good health."

Shen Qinglan stared directly into Fu Hengyi’s eyes, her beautiful eyes flickering, her red lips slightly parting, "Fu Hengyi, don’t tell me you haven’t seen the child yet?"

Fu Hengyi shifted his gaze away slightly with an embarrassed look on his face. Shen Qinglan instantly understood, finding it amusing yet even more pitying him, probably because his thoughts had been all on her these past few days. "Have the nurse bring the child over so I can see."

"Okay, but let the doctor check you first," Fu Hengyi said, now realizing that Shen Qinglan had awakened and hadn’t been checked by the doctor yet.

"That’s not urgent, Fu Hengyi, I want to see the child." She hadn’t seen the child since its birth, and although she hadn’t thought about it before and hadn’t felt impatient, now that she thought about it, she couldn’t wait.

"Alright, alright, I’ll have the nurse bring the child right now," Fu Hengyi said as he stood up to find the nurse. He walked slowly, his legs showing signs of recurring injury due to overexertion these past few days.

Knowing Shen Qinglan had awakened, Chu Yunrong and the two Old Sirs, who were already at the hospital, immediately came in, "Qinglan, you finally woke up; you nearly scared your mother to death."

As soon as Chu Yunrong saw Shen Qinglan, she hugged her tightly, her voice choked with emotion. Though the two Old Sirs were not as dramatic, their eyes never left Shen Qinglan.

Shen Qinglan knew that everyone had been frightened this time and gently patted Chu Yunrong’s shoulder, "Mom, I’m fine now."

"Two Grandpas, I’ve worried you." The Old Sirs were in their nineties yet were worried about her, and Shen Qinglan’s heart couldn’t help feeling guilty.

"Lanlan, Grandpa is fine; now that I see you are alright, Grandpa is reassured. The most important thing for you now is to take good care of yourself; don’t think about anything else," Old Sir Shen said with a smile.

"Right, Qinglan, girl, your health comes first right now," Old Sir Fu also consoled her. "You are still young; being healthy is what’s most important."

Shen Qinglan nodded and looked towards Fu Hengyi, glancing behind him, and Fu Hengyi explained, "The nurse has already gone to pick up the child; they’ll be back soon."

Indeed, after a short while, the nurse came in with the child. The always composed Fu Hengyi became unsettled the moment he saw the child, staring straight at the baby in the nurse’s arms. The nurse gave a slight smile, handing the baby to him, "Daddy, why don’t you hold the baby?"

Fu Hengyi stood rigidly, looking eye to eye with the baby in his arms, feeling as though he wasn’t just holding a few kilograms but a thousand-pound weight. Moreover, the child’s body was so soft and seemed so fragile that he didn’t dare to move.

The baby, just three days old, had wrinkly skin and actually didn’t look very nice, but those black, bright eyes staring at you could instantly melt Fu Hengyi’s heart.

"Is this my daughter? So beautiful," Fu Hengyi said tenderly.

"It’s a boy, not a girl," the nurse corrected.

Fu Hengyi’s eyes bulged, and he frowned, taking a long time before he finally spat out, "So ugly."

Nurse: ...

Old Sir Fu: ...

Old Sir Shen: ...

Chu Yunrong: ...

Shen Qinglan: ...

Newly-born Fu Mengbao, three days old: ...

A strange silence fell upon the hospital room. In the end, it was Old Sir Fu who first came to his senses, slapping Fu Hengyi on the back with no small force, "You call that ugly? When you were born, you weren’t even as good-looking as your son."

Fu Hengyi turned to Shen Qinglan with a look of plaintive reproach. Wife, weren’t we expecting a daughter?

Shen Qinglan couldn’t help but laugh, her lips curling upward as she extended her hand. "Give me the child."

Fu Hengyi stiffly walked over to Shen Qinglan’s side and slightly bent down so that Shen Qinglan could take the child from his arms. Her posture wasn’t very practiced, but she was certainly better than Fu Hengyi.

Shen Qinglan looked at the baby, her eyes as tender as water. "Baby, I am your mommy. Nice to meet you; please take good care of me in the future."

Whether it was a response to her feelings or not, Young Master Fu suddenly stretched out his little fist and waved it slightly as if greeting his mommy. Shen Qinglan smiled softly and gently kissed the baby on the face.

Fu Hengyi’s expression subtly changed as he watched his son in Shen Qinglan’s arms, and he uttered, "How can this child be so ugly, all wrinkled like a little monkey? We haven’t had a switch at birth, have we?"

A slap from Old Sir Fu landed mercilessly on Fu Hengyi’s back once again.

Chu Yunrong said with a laugh, "All newborns look like this; they’ll look better once they fill out." She gazed adoringly at the child, never tiring of the sight.

The usually well-behaved Young Master Fu suddenly began to wail loudly. Shen Qinglan immediately panicked, turning helplessly to Chu Yunrong. Chu Yunrong carefully took the baby, reassuring her, "It’s okay, the baby has probably wet himself."

Indeed, upon checking, she found he had urinated. Chu Yunrong deftly changed the diaper and then handed the baby back to Shen Qinglan, while Fu Hengyi looked on with a look of disdain the whole time.

But hardly five minutes later, the child cried again. "Mom, what’s wrong with him now?" Fu Hengyi complained in annoyance.

"He’s probably hungry," Chu Yunrong guessed. "Qinglan, you haven’t breastfed the baby yet. Try feeding him."

"Oh, okay." Shen Qinglan was somewhat dazed but didn’t quite know how to proceed.

As soon as the two elders heard that breastfeeding was about to take place, they quickly left. Fu Hengyi, on the other hand, wanted to stay but was shooed out by Chu Yunrong.

Chu Yunrong taught Shen Qinglan how to breastfeed. The baby instinctively opened his mouth as soon as the clothes were lifted, but Chu Yunrong hurriedly put her hand in the way, "We haven’t sanitized yet."

After grabbing some alcohol and a warm towel to sanitize the baby’s milk, Shen Qinglan’s face turned red. Although she had become a mother, and the woman before her was her own mother, she had never had such a direct contact before and felt very embarrassed.

Young Master Fu didn’t know his mom was embarrassed and eagerly took to the breast in one bite. Yet, it wasn’t long before the piercing cries of the infant echoed in the hospital room - Shen Qinglan’s brows furrowed. It was pain.

Chu Yunrong smacked her forehead, "How could I forget, your milk hasn’t come in yet. Hang in there, let the baby suck hard, it’s going to hurt a bit the first time, but it’ll get better after that."

Shen Qinglan nodded and stuffed her nipple into the baby’s mouth. The baby must have been really hungry as it sucked with great strength, making Shen Qinglan’s face turn pale from pain. By the time the baby managed to draw out the milk, Shen Qinglan’s forehead was covered in fine sweat, and Chu Yunrong wiped her brow with a warm towel.

Shen Qinglan looked down at the contented Young Master Fu, her lips curving slightly. Chu Yunrong stared at Shen Qinglan, probably reminded of her own childhood, her gaze filled with nostalgia.

Young Master Fu, having eaten his fill, continued to sleep soundly. Not wanting him out of her sight, Shen Qinglan carefully placed him on the bed. The baby’s hands were clenched into fists; she reached out and gently grasped his hand. His skin was so soft, irresistibly lovable.

Shen Qinglan then touched his face, finding everything about him perfect.

Perhaps disturbed by his mother’s handling, the baby’s brows furrowed and his mouth turned downwards as if he were about to cry. Shen Qinglan, scared, quickly withdrew her hand and looked helplessly at Chu Yunrong, who reassured her with a smile, whispering, "It’s okay."

Sure enough, just as the little one seemed about to cry, he moved his mouth and fell back to sleep.

This time, Shen Qinglan didn’t dare to touch him again and simply watched him sleep, her gaze unwavering. The feeling of the child in her belly was indeed very different from seeing him in person now.

After a while, a nurse came in and took the baby away. Shen Qinglan’s eyes followed him until he was out of sight, then she turned her head and met Fu Hengyi’s reproachful eyes.

"What is it?" Shen Qinglan asked.

"Wife, wasn’t it supposed to be a daughter?" Fu Hengyi was very despondent. He had been looking forward to having a soft and cute daughter for ten months, only to end up with a son.

Shen Qinglan’s eyes flickered slightly, "When did I ever say it was going to be a daughter?" she asked lightly.

Fu Hengyi looked even more aggrieved, "Wife, you did that on purpose, didn’t you?" On reflection, were it not for Shen Qinglan’s multiple times misleading him, how could he have been so sure it was a daughter?

Shen Qinglan’s face grew slightly stern as she feigned anger, "What, you don’t want him just because he’s a son?"

Seeing her get angry, Fu Hengyi could no longer dwell on his grievances and immediately said, "Of course I want him. I don’t even have enough love to give, how could I bear not to want my own child?"

Seeing him so earnest, Shen Qinglan couldn’t help but laugh. A gleam in her eye, she said, "If you really want a daughter, it’s not out of the question—we could always have another one."

Fu Hengyi’s face changed, "Forget it, a son is just fine. Some people want sons and can’t even have them." Between having a second child and not having a daughter, Fu Hengyi would rather not have the daughter. Going through this again would truly be the end of him.

A hint of regret flashed in Shen Qinglan’s eyes. Even the thought of a daughter couldn’t change Fu Hengyi’s mind. It seemed the idea of having another child would have to wait for another time. But her body had taken a serious toll this time around, and if they were to have a second child, it would have to be a few years later. By then, Fu Hengyi would surely have forgotten about all this, and it would be easier to discuss.

Once Han Yi and Yu Xiaoxuan knew Shen Qinglan had woken up, they rushed over. Upon seeing Shen Qinglan, Yu Xiaoxuan immediately wrapped her in a hug, "Qinglan, you scared me to death."

Shen Qinglan felt a warmth in her heart, gently patting her shoulder and softly assured, "I’m fine, aren’t I? Look at you, about to be a mother, yet still crying. Aren’t you afraid that Han Yi will laugh at you?"

Yu Xiaoxuan sniffled, "If he dares. If he dares to laugh at me, I won’t marry him."

Han Yi and Yu Xiaoxuan had originally planned to register their marriage on May 20th. Somehow, Han Zhengshan found out about this and was furious. He was adamantly opposed and even made a scene at Han Yi’s company. At the time, Yu Xiaoxuan was shooting a promotional advertisement and was publicly scolded by Han Zhengshan, pointing at her nose and shouting, which almost drove her to the hospital with anger.

Later, when Han Zhengshan learned that Yu Xiaoxuan was pregnant, he straightforwardly said, "Keep the child, not the mother."

Han Yi was working at Han Group at that time, not in Shengxuan. After he found out about this, he immediately put Han Zhengshan into a nursing home, under the pretext of allowing him to better enjoy his later years and not be lonely.

Because of this incident, Han Yi had been trending on social media lately, with many calling him unfilial. The older generation thought he had been bewitched by a woman, branding Yu Xiaoxuan a femme fatale. The younger generation just felt he had shown a righteous fury for a beautiful woman, daring to stand up to his family for the sake of love, and they admired his courage. Even more women were marveling at how the prodigal son had turned into a devoted lover so quickly, lamenting why they couldn’t be the lucky woman instead.

But no matter what, it had caused Yu Xiaoxuan to be heavily criticized. She had been getting a lot of hate recently, and naturally harbored no good feelings towards Han Yi, even becoming reluctant to go through with the marriage registration she had agreed to. If it weren’t for Shen Qinglan’s difficult labor, who knows if the two of them would still be at odds.

Shen Qinglan had not been following entertainment news lately and had not looked at Weibo for a long time, so she was unaware of these matters. She just thought that Yu Xiaoxuan was being childish, after all, mood swings during pregnancy are understandable.

Shen Qinglan had just made it back from the brink of death and Yu Xiaoxuan did not want to trouble her with these upsetting matters, so she did not mention a word and just chatted about everyday family affairs with Shen Qinglan.

**

In the dean’s office, Fu Hengyi sat on the sofa with a stern face, while Dean Chen sat opposite him. Both were coldly eyeing the couple in front of them, none other than Zhou Xiong and Pang Jia.

At the moment, Zhou Xiong’s face was filled with despair, and Pang Jia beside him was holding her head down and wiping away tears.

"Explain to Mr. Fu exactly what happened," Dean Chen said in a stern voice.

Pang Jia did not speak. Zhou Xiong began, "First of all, we need to apologize to you and your wife, Mr. Fu. We switched your wife’s medicine."

Fu Hengyi’s eyes instantly turned bloodthirsty as he looked at the two as if he wanted to devour them, yet he forcefully suppressed his rage, "Continue."

Scared by the intimidating aura emanating from Fu Hengyi, Zhou Xiong instinctively shrank back, but continued, "We were forced into this. Someone kidnapped my parents and daughter, threatening that if we didn’t comply, they would kill them all. My daughter is only four years old."

"Mr. Fu, we really had no choice but to beg for your forgiveness," Pang Jia pleaded as she knelt down.

Fu Hengyi looked at them, his eyes flashing coldly, "Your parents and daughter are innocent, but is my wife not innocent? Did you not think, she is a woman who’s just given birth, that what you did could have ended her life and our child’s? She was lucky this time and escaped with her life, but what if she hadn’t been lucky, what if it had been my wife and child who died!"

Just the thought of that scene made Fu Hengyi want to strangle them both.

"Mr. Fu, we realize our mistake, but we really had no other choice. My husband and I have been under constant surveillance, with our parents and child in someone else’s hands. If we dared to call the police, they’d immediately harm them," Pang Jia said through tears, bemoaning her difficult situation.

Fu Hengyi remained unmoved.

The couple didn’t realize that Fu Hengyi was not one to be easily swayed and had anticipated this reaction. After all, if someone else did such harm to their wife, they would also not be able to forgive the perpetrator.

Zhou Xiong spoke gravely, "Mr. Fu, I admit we were wrong, but this has nothing to do with my family. I’m not asking for your forgiveness. I’ll go to the police station soon and confess that I acted alone. I ask only one thing of you: spare my wife. My parents are elderly, and my child is still young. If both my wife and I are put away, it would be a problem for the three of them to go on without us."

Hearing her husband’s words, Pang Jia cried even harder, but did not voice any opposition, as the elderly parents and child at home indeed needed care.

"Who’s behind this?" Fu Hengyi asked.

Zhou Xiong shook his head, his mouth twisted bitterly, "We don’t know who it is. That day, my wife and I just got home and didn’t see my parents and child. We thought just maybe my parents hadn’t come back from picking up the child, but after waiting for a while, we didn’t wait for them. Instead, we received a phone call saying my parents and child were in their hands. If we didn’t do as they said, we should be prepared to claim their bodies. Then we received a video, and in the video were my parents and child, locked up in an unknown location, their hands and feet tied up."

He paused and glanced at his wife, then continued, "Their demand was to ensure that your wife suffers a difficult labor, preferably resulting in both death and stillbirth. If that’s not possible, at least kidnap your child. But I’m not her doctor, nor am I responsible for this delivery; I simply had no chance. My wife was in charge of preparing the medication for the delivery, so we just..."

"In fact, my wife initially disagreed with doing this; she was forced by me. The drugs were also provided by me. Actually, she secretly reduced the dosage of the medication." If it were not for that, Shen Qinglan would have been in real danger this time.

"So you’re saying that I should actually thank you for showing mercy?" Fu Hengyi gritted his teeth.

"Mr. Fu, that’s not what I meant. I just wanted to say that this entire ordeal was my fault; I’m the mastermind. Please let my wife go, and I will spend the rest of my life atoning for my sins."

"Did you meet the kidnappers?" Fu Hengyi asked coldly, not indicating whether he accepted or rejected Zhou Xiong’s request.

Zhou Xiong shook his head, "They always contacted us by phone."

"How did you know you were being monitored?"

"Because every so often, we would receive a piece of video footage of what we were doing at the time. They also told us we were under their surveillance and warned us not to pull any tricks, or our parents and children would be in danger," Zhou Xiong said in anguish. During those days, he and his wife suffered greatly, worried about their parents and children while tormented by their conscience.

"Where are your parents and children now?" Fu Hengyi asked.

"They were returned to us after your wife finished giving birth," Zhou Xiong replied. Those people kept their word; otherwise, he would be going insane by now.

Fu Hengyi’s pupils were dark, concealing his emotions. He stared at Zhou Xiong, "Hand over the phone numbers those people used to contact you and the videos."

Zhou Xiong nodded repeatedly.

When Fu Hengyi returned to the ward, the air around him was still heavy. Shen Qinglan had just finished feeding the baby, and the child lay sweetly asleep on the little bed beside her.

Seeing Fu Hengyi, Shen Qinglan asked softly, "What happened?"

Fu Hengyi said nothing, simply holding her in his arms, his head buried in her hair. Sensing that his mood was off, Shen Qinglan remained silent, just holding him back.

It wasn’t until Fu Hengyi calmed down that he recounted what had happened.

After listening, Shen Qinglan’s expression was very calm. Fu Hengyi looked at her, "Don’t you have anything to say?"

"Let his wife go," Shen Qinglan finally spoke. After becoming a mother, she understood their actions; had she been in their shoes, perhaps she would have done the same. But understanding did not mean forgiveness.

"Has the person behind all this been found out?" Shen Qinglan continued, she could understand and forgive the couple and let Pang Jia go, but not the mastermind. She didn’t mind if people targeted her, but family was her bottom line, especially her child.

Fu Hengyi’s gaze darkened, "Not yet. These people are careful with their actions, covering their trails very well."

A cold light flashed in Shen Qinglan’s eyes, "There’s no need to investigate. I know who it is." Fu Hengyi looked at her as two words left her mouth, "Qin Yan."

"This person likes to leave no trace. It was the same with Zhao Jiaqing’s incident, and with Ya Xi’s as well. Yet, in this world, there aren’t many who want Shen Qinglan dead, and even fewer can execute such a plan perfectly in such a short time," Shen Qinglan analyzed her suspicions to Fu Hengyi.

Fu Hengyi listened intently, his knuckles cracking with a sound that left no doubt that if Qin Yan were in front of him at that moment, he might have skinned her alive. Shen Qinglan held his hand, her lips curling up slightly, "Since she gave us a gift, we should naturally return the favor. After all, it’s only polite to reciprocate."

"What do you want to do?" Fu Hengyi looked at her.

Shen Qinglan leaned close to Fu Hengyi’s ear and whispered her plan to him.

"What do I do in this plan?" Fu Hengyi asked her.

"Of course, you’re going to take care of me and the child," Shen Qinglan stated matter-of-factly, leaving Fu Hengyi satisfied, "Hmm, I will certainly protect you and the child well. I absolutely won’t let anything happen to you."

"I believe in you, but right now, the most important thing is to take care of our son," Shen Qinglan stressed the word "son."

Fu Hengyi let out an "oh," his tone calm, but Shen Qinglan detected a hint of disdain in his voice, knowing he still hadn’t gotten over the disappointment of a daughter changing to a son, which made Shen Qinglan laugh.

Shen Qinglan called Jin Enxi to inform her of the plan, and Jin Enxi was visibly excited, "Okay, Annie, I’ll go talk to Cissily right away."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Qinglan saw someone sneaking around at the door. Her voice was cool and detached as she spoke, "If you want to come in, just come in."

The person outside hesitated upon being discovered by Shen Qinglan but still entered. Shen Qinglan saw who it was, her eyes grew colder, "If you’ve come here to confess, there’s no need to speak. I think you’re a mother too; you should understand the feeling when one sees their child being hurt by others."

Pang Jia’s face showed her regret, "Mrs. Fu, I know that the three most useless words in the world are ’I’m sorry,’ but I still have to say it, I owe you an apology. Thank you for sparing me. If it weren’t for my elderly parents and young children at home, I would certainly join my husband in atoning for our sins."

"I’ve received your apology, but I will neither accept it nor forgive it," Shen Qinglan said coldly.

Pang Jia hung her head low, "I never dared to hope for your forgiveness nor do I deserve it. I came here today partly to apologize to you and also to tell you something. Actually, there were two different groups that approached me this time – even my husband was unaware of the second group."

Shen Qinglan’s gaze finally settled on her, "Be clear."

Pang Jia swallowed hard, instinctively afraid of Shen Qinglan, "Here’s what happened: before those people kidnapped my child, someone came to me with a proposal to switch your child. If I did it, I would get five million."

"But I refused immediately," Pang Jia hurriedly explained as she met Shen Qinglan’s icy gaze, "I really turned her down right away and didn’t take a penny from her."

"When did this happen, and who was that person?"

"It was three days before your delivery." It was also the day before her in-laws and child were kidnapped, which initially made her think they did it because she refused their offer.

But later, she realized that wasn’t the case.

"It was a young and pretty woman, dressed like she was wealthy. She handed me a check for a million, but I didn’t take it."

"If you see her again, could you recognize her?"

Pang Jia nodded, "Yes, I definitely could. Mrs. Fu, my husband and I hurt you out of selfishness. Telling you this is one way I can atone. Besides, I know that you and Mr. Fu are actually good people. Since that person didn’t succeed, she will likely try again to harm your child. Be careful."

Pang Jia’s words were sincere, with no hint of deception.

Shen Qinglan pulled up a photo on her phone and placed it in front of Pang Jia, asking, "Look, is the person who gave you the check this woman?"

Pang Jia looked carefully, "Yes, yes, that’s her."

A smile appeared on Shen Qinglan’s face at that moment, but the smile made Pang Jia instinctively shiver.

"Thank you for telling me all this. I hope that when the police come to investigate later, you can also tell them what you know."

"Mrs. Fu, rest assured, I will definitely tell the police the truth. If needed later on, I can even testify in court," Pang Jia said.

Shen Qinglan nodded. Once Pang Jia tactfully left and there was no one else in the hospital room, she called Jin Enxi, "Enxi, where is Annie?"

Jin Enxi was discussing with Cissily how to give Qin Yan extra payment when she was startled by Shen Qinglan’s question, "Annie, what Annie?"

"Annie, the woman who was pursuing Eden," Shen Qinglan reminded her.

"Oh, her. She’s in my hands. I saw her lurking around the hospital the day you gave birth, so I took her away. She’s currently locked up in an abandoned factory on the outskirts," said Jin Enxi nonchalantly.

"Did you handle this matter cleanly?"

"Of course it’s clean. Though I haven’t taken on any assignments for many years, I’m still someone who came from the base. If I can’t even handle such a minor issue cleanly, I would have truly wasted my time. Is it that this woman did something?"

"Annie originally wanted to bribe a nurse at the hospital to take the baby away..."

Jin Enxi listened with gritted teeth, "I knew this woman was up to no good. Just wait and see how I deal with her."

At first, when Annie pursued Eden, Jin Enxi actually approved, thinking it was time for Eden to have a companion. However, as time passed and with Eden’s dislike for Annie, Jin Enxi became indifferent towards her, which is why she even agreed to pretend to be Eden’s girlfriend to refuse Annie. Then, during Shen Junyu’s wedding, Jin Enxi started to see Annie’s true colors.

Knowing Annie was in the hands of Jin Enxi, Shen Qinglan immediately had an idea and called the police.

With Pang Jia’s cooperation and Fu Hengyi overseeing the situation, the police quickly identified Annie as the suspect.

When the police arrived at the Liang family’s place, Liang Guangjian was at home dealing with work.

The housekeeper opened the door and was startled to see the police, "May I ask who you are looking for?"

One of the officers stepped forward and said, "We’re looking for Liang Xinyue. Is she home?" Annie was Liang Xinyue’s English name.

"The young lady is not at home at the moment. What do you need her for?" The housekeeper’s eyes showed wariness. These days, there were too many scammers, and many of them impersonated police officers to commit fraud.

The police officer saw the housekeeper’s suspicion and took out his ID, handing it to her, "Liang Xinyue is suspected of being involved in a child trafficking case, and we need her to come back with us to assist with the investigation."

The housekeeper’s face turned slightly pale at the mention of such a serious matter, which wasn’t something she could decide on her own. She invited the police in, "Please wait here for a moment; I will go and call the master."

When Liang Guangjian came down after hearing about the matter from the housekeeper, he sat opposite the police officers, "Officer, I’ve heard about the incident. But is there some misunderstanding here? With our family’s circumstances, my daughter wouldn’t need to engage in child trafficking."

Liang Guangjian’s first reaction was a misunderstanding, after all, Annie had never lacked money.

"Mr. Liang, we also hope it’s a misunderstanding, but there’s already a nurse in the hospital who has testified that Liang Xinyue attempted to use five million to bribe someone to take away the child of the Beijing Fu Family."

The carelessness on Liang Guangjian’s face disappeared, his expression becoming serious, "Officer, who did you just say my daughter tried to take away?"

"The son of Fu Hengyi, the head of the Beijing Fu Family."

Liang Guangjian’s eyes flickered slightly, "Officer, you must be mistaken; my daughter is friends with Shen Qinglan, the daughter-in-law of the Shen Family. She has no reason to do such a thing."

"We also hope it’s a misunderstanding, but the hospital’s nurse specifically named Liang Xinyue as the culprit, and on the day Mrs. Fu gave birth, she was indeed seen in the maternity ward, acting suspiciously."

Liang Guangjian felt his heart sink, but he pretended to be calm and said with a smile, "I still believe my daughter wouldn’t do such a thing."

"Mr. Liang, at the moment, it is just suspicion, and nothing is certain. We’re here because we hope Miss Liang can cooperate with our investigation. Please have Miss Liang come with us."

"Of course, of course, that’s your job. We promise to cooperate, but my daughter has already gone out to have fun, and she hasn’t been home for several days. Officer, my daughter has been spoiled by me since she was young. She’s untamed and can’t stay at home; she often runs off, and once she does, she might not return for ten days or half a month; sometimes even a few years. I don’t know where she has run off to this time."

Hearing this, the officers looked at each other, and one of them asked, "Then can you contact her, Mr. Liang?"

"Yes, yes, I’ll call her right now." Liang Guangjian was very cooperative, pulling out his phone to call Annie, but the call was met with the sound of a phone switched off.

"Officer, you see, her phone is off. I have no idea where that girl has disappeared to; her phone is even switched off."

"Mr. Liang, is Miss Liang really not at home?"

"Officer, we are law-abiding citizens; we will certainly cooperate with your work. If Annie were really at home, I absolutely wouldn’t hide her away. I really can’t get in touch with her right now. How about this, I’ll try calling her again later. If I get through, I will personally take her to the police station to cooperate with your work, how about that?"

The police could only respond to that extent, so both officers stood up, "If that’s the case, then we will leave for now. We hope Mr. Liang can contact Miss Liang as soon as possible. The Fu Family has already reported the incident, and if it really has nothing to do with Miss Liang, we definitely won’t wrong an innocent person."

"Definitely, definitely." Liang Guangjian politely escorted the two officers out, but as soon as they left, his face immediately darkened. He tried calling Annie again but couldn’t get through, so he called his assistant instead, "Cut off all of Annie’s finances. Stop all her cards, don’t give her a single penny."

Liang Guangjian figured that if this really was done by Annie, she must be hiding in some corner right now. Once her finances are cut off, she will return soon.

Liang Guangjian was furious. That stupid girl, Annie, had just started to behave better and now she had caused such a huge disaster. After the Junlan Group cancellation, he had barely managed to settle his accounts and brought in new investments. If this was actually done by Annie, involving both the Shen and Fu Families, how many lives would he have to be tossed around?

He should have known that Annie might one day bring disaster upon the entire Liang Family. If he had known, he should have strangled her the moment she was born.

At this moment, Liang Guangjian had entirely forgotten that Annie was once the daughter he had doted on, raised with his affection and protection.

Elsewhere, Jin Enxi ended the call with Shen Qinglan and grabbed Cissily, "Let’s go, we’ll see that fool who doesn’t know whether they’re dead or alive."

Cissily, who had heard the conversation, was full of eagerness about what was to come.
