Fan Hang was also dumbfounded.
He thought he was seeing things, so he rubbed his eyes hard.
The woman was still standing there, calmly rubbing her wrist, while the man lay on the ground, unable to get up. It wasn't a hallucination, nor a dream!
He was completely stunned, unsure of how to react.
Fu Jingshu slowly walked forward, the oppressive aura around him almost solidifying into physical pressure on the man. He bent his back, grunted, and blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.
A slender leg, carrying the sound of wind, accurately landed on the man's chest.
He gasped for breath, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.
Fan Hang was dumbfounded.
This man was also so strong!
He suddenly remembered that he had tried to compete with this warrior for the woman before...
Oh no, his life was in danger!
But fortunately, Fu Jingshu had no intention of arguing with him. He merely glanced at him, "Tie this person up, and take A Lang to the room next to ours."
This way, if there was any noise, he would hear it immediately.
Otherwise, relying on Fan Hang, this useless person, hmph.
The boss held his wife and turned back to their room. Fan Hang shivered in the corridor. But after the fear subsided, he suddenly felt admiration. This couple was truly formidable!
The next morning, when Shen Qingqing woke up, she found that Fu Jingshu was already gone.
She got up and instinctively looked for him.
She saw him on the balcony, on the phone. She put on her slippers, hugged him from behind, and mumbled sleepily, "Who are you calling?"
Feeling the softness behind him, the man's lips curved. He hung up the phone and held the hand in front of his lower abdomen.
"We've investigated the people who came last night, and the results are out."
Shen Qingqing vaguely remembered that he had made a phone call before they slept. "Who sent them?"
"Director Feng."
It wasn't hard to find out. This person's methods weren't very clever; it could be said that Director Feng underestimated them, thinking he could send just anyone to take her away.
Shen Qingqing also chuckled, "He really underestimated us."
She suddenly remembered something. They had been hiding their presence when they arrived. Besides the two of them and Fan Hang, no fourth person knew about this place.
"How did he find us here?"
Fu Jingshu leaned against the railing, holding her in his arms, and looked down at her.
Shen Qingqing blinked, a flash of inspiration striking her, "You mean, Fan Hang led him here? Impossible, what good would it do him to do something like that?"
"Perhaps it wasn't intentional."
Saying that made him seem even more foolish.
Shen Qingqing understood, "He was followed. I'll have to give him a good scolding when we go down!"
Downstairs for breakfast, Fan Hang, with his usual keen eye, had prepared breakfast. He was humming and arranging the bowls and chopsticks, looking quite cheerful. Shen Qingqing walked over and tapped the table, her expression serious.
Fan Hang was taken aback, looking somewhat confused. "What's wrong?"
"The person from yesterday followed you here."
"That's impossible!"
Fan Hang was confident that he hadn't revealed any flaws in front of Director Feng.
Shen Qingqing asked, "When you came, did you notice if anyone was following you?"
Fan Hang choked.
Seeing his expression, Shen Qingqing knew everything. Just as she was about to scold him, her phone rang. She froze when she saw the number.
Fu Jingshu leaned over and read out the name on the screen, "Director Feng."
The next second, Shen Qingqing answered.
"Hello."
"Let's meet, Mrs. Fu." Director Feng got straight to the point. "I believe you know why I'm looking for you, and what leverage I have."
"Time and place."
After hanging up, Shen Qingqing prepared to go to the meeting. Fu Jingshu naturally wanted to accompany her. However, when they arrived at the meeting place and saw the Western restaurant's signboard outside,
Shen Qingqing said, "You wait for me in the car."
"Why?"
"If you're here, he probably won't say many things."
Fu Jingshu tried to negotiate, "I won't speak."
Shen Qingqing said, "Close your eyes."
He knew very well that this little woman was about to use that trick again, but that trick was surprisingly effective on him, and he could never refuse it. Helplessly, he closed his eyes.
His cheeks felt a slight warmth.
He opened his eyes, only to see the little woman withdraw her hand, a playful and cunning smile on her face.
"Let's go."
He instinctively reached out to pull her, but his hand grasped at empty air. He touched his cheek with a hint of reluctance. Although the touch felt nice, it wasn't a pair of red lips.
It was somewhat of a deception.
He grumbled inwardly, but his lips couldn't help but curve upwards.
The restaurant was very quiet at the moment. Usually, it was full of customers, but now there was only one table of guests. Director Feng sat there, swirling a glass of red wine.
In front of him were placed a rich and exquisite array of dishes.
Shen Qingqing walked in slowly and sat opposite him. "Director Feng, what do you need me for?"
Director Feng raised his glass, "To you."
Shen Qingqing raised her glass, brought it to her nose to smell, and closed her eyes slightly. "It is indeed good wine, but I'm not feeling well lately and shouldn't drink."
A reasonable refusal. If Director Feng were to make a fuss, it would make him seem petty. So he took a sip himself. "Mrs. Fu, you've been here for a while now, staying in my house for some time. I won't hide anything from you. There's a girl living in my attic, but I don't know who took her away."
Shen Qingqing calmly lowered her gaze, not expecting him to be so direct.
Director Feng sighed, "That little girl hasn't been well, so I've always kept her in the attic to recuperate. But now that she's been taken away, I'm really worried. Mrs. Fu, if you can help me find her, I will reward you handsomely."
"I can't help you with this, I'm not from here."
Shen Qingqing smiled helplessly, "Director Feng, when it comes to finding people, you're more resourceful in Country H than I am, aren't you?"
Director Feng put down his wine glass with a light clink. The red wine swirled, staining the rim of the glass, but then quickly disappeared. "Mrs. Fu, whether you have this ability or not, we both know."
Shen Qingqing just smiled.
Director Feng clasped his hands together on the table and said in a deep voice, "As long as you help me find her, all past matters will be forgiven. In fact, I can even consider giving you the special medicine as a thank you."
"That reward of yours is indeed very tempting to me."
Director Feng showed a confident smile, "Since that's the case..."
"But I still can't help you."
The smile on his face instantly vanished.
Shen Qingqing said lightly, "I truly have the will but not the strength."
Director Feng stared at her for a while, then suddenly smiled, "Alright, since that's the case, I won't force you. But Mrs. Fu, I have a piece of advice for you."
"Please, I'm all ears."
"Leave some room for maneuver in your dealings, and you'll be able to meet again in the future."
Director Feng spoke word by word, his eyes dark and inscrutable, a hint of ruthlessness appearing if one looked closely. After speaking, he turned and strode away.
As for the table full of dishes, not a single bite was touched. Shen Qingqing had no appetite either. The meal wasn't bad, but the person who prepared it was not the right one. It was better than the breakfast Fan Hang had prepared.
After returning, Shen Qingqing went to visit her aunt and brought A Lang with her.
She had planned to stay at her aunt's house for a night, but then she realized she had left her phone at Fan Hang's place, so she went back to get it.
As the car drove to an intersection, she suddenly heard a woman's shrill scream from the alley.
"Help!"
