"Oh, never mind," the young man brushed the aunt aside and waited for Shen Qingqing aggressively, "I don't care what you're here for, leave quickly. I don't know you, and we don't know where An Qi is!"
Seeing Shen Qingqing and Fu Jingshu not moving, he stepped forward and reached out to grab them.
Fu Jingshu blocked him with one hand.
The young man was about to get angry, but seeing Fu Jingshu's cold gaze, he suddenly felt intimidated. He withdrew his hand, then felt embarrassed at being scared, "What do you mean? This is my home, are you going to squat here and not leave?"
Fu Jingshu said coldly, "We'll leave on our own."
His aura was too strong. Even though the young man was furious, he dared not make a move. He could only stand there, his eyes red, glaring at him, about to explode with anger.
The aunt quickly stepped in to smooth things over, "Alright, alright, A Xu, they just came to ask some questions. They're done now and are about to leave. You go back to your room. The food is in the kitchen, go get some if you're hungry."
A Xu heard that they were done and gave his grandmother a look, but said nothing more.
Since they were finished, anything else he said would be redundant. He turned and went into his room.
Before closing the door, he warned, "Leave quickly! Or I'll call the police!"
With that, he slammed the door shut.
The aunt looked at Shen Qingqing, very embarrassed, "I'm so sorry, my child... I've spoiled him. He's not usually like this, he's quite polite..."
Even she sounded a little guilty as she said it.
Clearly, she knew her grandson's true nature better than anyone.
Shen Qingqing didn't pay it any mind. The questions were asked, and she was ready to leave. The aunt saw her to the door, apologized profusely, and then saw them out.
Before leaving, Shen Qingqing said, "Auntie, you should still observe your grandson."
"What about him?"
The aunt was taken aback.
Shen Qingqing glanced at the room door and said in a low voice, "I see his eyes are a bit bruised and his complexion isn't very good. He might be using drugs. You'd better keep an eye on him. If that's the case, you should send him to a rehabilitation center immediately."
The aunt was dumbfounded. "How is that possible?"
She simply couldn't believe her grandson would use drugs.
Shen Qingqing knew the old lady wouldn't accept it right away. "I'm just guessing. For his health's sake, you should just watch him."
"That's impossible!" The aunt flatly refused, not believing a word of it. "My grandson is a good boy, he wouldn't do such a thing. I thought you were a good person too, but I didn't expect you to be like this, saying such divisive things. Don't come here again, and I won't see you anymore."
With that, she turned and went back into her room, closing the door.
Shen Qingqing pursed her lips, and Fu Jingshu took her hand.
"Forget it, let it be."
Shen Qingqing sighed.
It was understandable that the aunt didn't want to believe it. She would discover the truth herself eventually.
The two turned and left. On their way back, Shen Qingqing called Ke Lin and asked him to send some people to keep an eye on the place.
Especially this person named A Xu.
Ke Lin was puzzled, "Is there something strange about this A Xu?"
Shen Qingqing gazed out the window and said softly, "This family isn't wealthy, but this young man is dressed very well, all designer brands. That's not right."
She paused and added, "He's very likely using drugs as well."
Ke Lin's expression became more serious, "I understand. I'll send people to monitor them closely."
The car stopped in front of the villa.
Fu Jingshu got out first, supporting Shen Qingqing. His movements were cautious. Shen Qingqing chuckled, "You don't need to be so nervous. My hand is fine, it doesn't hurt at all."
Fu Jingshu didn't speak, but his movements remained gentle and careful.
The two pushed open the door and entered the living room, only to see Xixi and Chenchen sitting on the sofa. One was drawing, the other was fiddling with a computer. Xixi heard the sound and looked up, his eyes shining.
"Daddy, Mommy, you're back!"
He put down the computer, slid off the sofa, and rushed towards his parents. Shen Qingqing's hand was inconvenient, so Fu Jingshu quickly stepped in front of her and picked up the child.
Xixi hugged his daddy's neck, but his eyes were fixed on Shen Qingqing, "Mommy, is your hand feeling any better?"
Chenchen also looked up from his drawing world and at Shen Qingqing, "Does it still hurt?"
Shen Qingqing smiled, "It doesn't hurt anymore, thank you for your concern."
Chenchen looked at her arm carefully, his little face all scrunched up as if he felt pain in his own arm. He reached out and touched it gingerly.
Shen Qingqing laughed, "It's not fragile glass, you don't need to worry."
Chenchen pursed his lips and placed his little hands on his knees, "Mommy, you're not leaving again after coming back this time, are you?"
Shen Qingqing hummed, "What is it?"
"I missed you."
Chenchen said softly.
Shen Qingqing was taken aback. This child was introverted and rarely expressed his feelings so directly. When he did, it made her heart melt completely.
"Okay, we'll stay home and won't go anywhere."
Chenchen then managed a faint smile.
Fu Jingshu hesitated, wanting to say something.
He wanted to take his wife to the hospital, as she hadn't fully recovered yet.
Before he could speak, Shen Qingqing pinched the soft flesh of his waist, and he successfully swallowed his unspoken words.
The family sat together, enjoying a harmonious atmosphere.
Xixi suddenly brought over his computer, typed a few keys, and then leaned into his mother's ear, "Mommy, I have something amazing to show you!"
"What is it?"
Xixi chuckled and grabbed his mother's right hand, intending to go upstairs.
Shen Qingqing looked at her husband and Chenchen, then helplessly held back Xixi, "We're all family, what is there to hide? If you can see what you're showing me, can't they?"
Xixi thought about it and realized she was right, there was no need to hide anything. So, he clicked a few times on the computer.
A recording was played.
"Keep a close eye on him, make sure he doesn't get out."
"Mr. Fu, don't worry, no one will find him. But Mr. Fu, how long do we need to keep him detained?"
"Wait for my instructions."
"Okay."
The recording abruptly ended.
Shen Qingqing recognized the first voice as Fu Tingyi's, and immediately thought of the missing An Qi.
"It seems he was taken by Fu Tingyi."
Everything made sense now.
Only by abducting An Qi could he intimidate the financial manager into keeping quiet.
"I'll have someone investigate."
Fu Jingshu took out his phone, preparing to make a call.
But Shen Qingqing stopped him. Her left hand was inconvenient, and reaching for her left side with her right hand was awkward. "No need to rush. Didn't I send people to monitor him? I believe Fu Tingyi won't just make one call. Xixi, keep listening."
Xixi immediately raised his hand to his forehead, "Understood!"
