Shi Fang turned the car around and headed straight for the He residence. Through the rearview mirror, he observed Fu Chenâs expression. It had been a call from Sixth Master.
At this moment, his expression could only be described as dark and terrifying.
He originally thought that he had been ridiculed by Sixth Master. Why did it involve the He family?
What happened now?
âThird Master... going straight to the He residence?â Their families had never interacted much, so it probably wouldnât be good for them to go straight there.
Moreover, the older generation still had grudges. If things went wrong, people would talk.
âYes.â
âWhat happened?â
âYu Manxi is missing, and itâs likely that the He family forcefully took her away.â
âHuh?â Shi Fang was surprised.
âWeâre unsure about the current situation, but the He family is the most suspicious...â Fu Chen narrowed his eyes. Most importantly...
This family had a criminal record.
When Yu Manxi was a child, she had been forcibly taken away without asking for her opinion. This wasnât the first time the He family had done this.
It was no wonder that when Fu Sinian heard that He Maozhen was looking for her and that the He familyâs car had even driven into the garage of the Software Park community, he immediately thought of going to his house to ask for her.
âThird Master, weâre still not sure if Miss Yu is at the He residence, right?â
âHer bag and phone were thrown on the ground. Something must have happened.â Fu Chenâs fingers kept fiddling with his bracelet. âSinian has already gone. If I donât go, Iâm afraid something will happen.â
âYoung Master has always been very sensible. If heâs asking someone a few words, nothing will happen.â In Shi Fangâs impression, Fu Sinian was the most reliable when doing things.
After all, he was the eldest grandson of the Fu family. Although he wasnât in business or politics, his every move represented the Fu family, so he was naturally very steady.
âThatâs hard to say...â
âIf Miss Yu isnât there, wonât he cause trouble by rushing over like this? If Old Master or Old Madam find out...â Shi Fang was still a little worried.
âWhether sheâs there or not, the He family doesnât dare to disclose this matter unless they want to acknowledge her and get her to return to the family. So even if sheâs not with the He family, they can only suffer in silence.â
Fu Chen had long thought about this worry.
âBesides, their family has committed so many sins in the past. Whether Yu Manxi will go back or not is another matter. Even if their family wants to acknowledge her, what if Yu Manxi slaps their faces instead? Theyâll be in trouble both inside and outside.
âThe He family will only endure it now. Even if Sinian slaps their faces...
âThey can only accept it.â
Shi Fang nodded. âThey deserve it. After all, they did that kind of thing to Miss Yu in the past.â
Fu Chenâs fingertips fiddled with his bracelet. Logically speaking, the He family shouldnât be so bold. They know that Yu Manxi and Sinian are dating and openly kidnapped her? Isnât this forcing the two families to fall out?
But he wasnât familiar with Yu Manxi, and he couldnât think of who else had a grudge against her.
Sinian probably couldnât think of anyone else and could only go to the He residence first.
Meanwhile, in the Chuanbei Jing residence...
Jing Hanchuan threw the fish food into the fish tank and watched as the little fish inside scrambled to snatch the food. He wiped his hands and got up to leave.
âGet someone to continue investigating Yu Manxiâs whereabouts and find out if sheâs at the He residence as soon as possible. Prepare the car now...â
A Jing family member immediately picked up his coat and helped him put it on. âSixth Master, where are you going?â
âThe He residence.â
***
The Software Garden was in the suburbs after all, so it took a long time to reach the He residence. When Fu Sinian was about to reach the He residence, he saw Fu Chenâs car at the intersection.
He was standing by the side of the road, still wearing a black long robe. His entire body was shrouded in the afterglow of the setting sun, and his bracelet was on his fingertips. Clearly, he had been waiting for him for a long time.
Fu Sinian gritted his teeth but still stepped on the brakes.
âThird Uncle, are you here to stop me?â
âIâll go with you.â Fu Chenâs tone was mild.
If something had happened to Song Fengwan today and the primary suspect was the He family, he would also have charged into the tigerâs den.
Fu Sinian was stunned for a moment before nodding. They were only a hundred steps away from the He residence.
In the living room of the He residence...
He Maozhen looked at the two people standing in front of him. âThe two of you went out for so long, but you didnât bring her back? You even fought her? Did I ask you to be rough?â
âDidnât you say that we had to invite her back?â one of them said.
Just like in the past, they would just drag her in the car directly. What else was there to do?
âI asked you to invite her back!â He Maozhen placed his hands on his hips.
âWe did, but Eldest Miss...â
âYour so-called âinviteâ is to fight her?â
Actually, it was He Maozhenâs fault for not making things clear. When he instructed them to pick her up, he had emphasized the word âinviteâ, so the two of them had thought that there was something unusual about it.
When they saw that Yu Manxi wasnât cooperating, they had directly made a move.
The two of them remained silent as they were scolded.
âYou two idiots! I asked you to invite her, but you offended her. Whatâs the use of me raising you?!â He Maozhen raised his teacup and threw it at them.
âDad, donât be angry.â He Shiqing, sitting at the side, comforted him. âWhy donât you call Big Sister to clarify things?â
âItâs hard to get her to answer the phone. There was a turn of events, but these two fools ruined it.â He Maozhen lived a pampered life and was quite fat. When he spoke, the flesh on his cheeks trembled slightly.
âThat girl doesnât want to come back in the first place. Even if she does, you probably wonât get what you want.â Zou Li reached out to rub her ankle.
She had sprained her ankle when she went to look for Yu Manxi previously, and it still hurt slightly now.
She had been scared several times at the time, and she still had lingering fears when she thought about it.
âWhat did you say?â He Maozhen looked at his wife.
Actually, their relationship as a married couple wasnât very good. In the end, it was because she hadnât given birth to a boy for the He family.
âNothing.â Zou Li lowered her head in silence.
âMaster, then...â The two men lowered their heads.
âWhat else? Get out!â
The two of them immediately opened the door and left.
âMy god, I was scared to death. Master said that no matter what method we used, we had to invite Eldest Miss back. Wasnât he the one who instigated us to fight with her? Now, itâs all our fault?â
âHeâs the boss, so heâs definitely right. The fault lies with us, who just works for him.â
âF*ck, he didnât say in advance that Eldest Miss practiced martial arts. If she had thrown me a little harder, my waist would have broken.â
âEven if there are a few more people, we wonât be able to invite this person back. He said he wanted to bring her back. Sheâs his daughter. Why doesnât he go himself?! F*ck, I was really afraid that she would kick me just now.â
...
The two of them muttered as they walked.
The moment they turned the corner, they bumped into Fu Sinian.
From a distance, Fu Sinian could hear the two of them talking about fighting.
He was instantly furious.
The two of them didnât expect to bump into Fu Sinian. Their eyes were flustered, and they felt guilty. They subconsciously wanted to run...
At first, Fu Sinian wasnât sure if these two people were the people the management lady had mentioned. But their actions indirectly confirmed his guess.
He raised his leg and kicked one of them flying.
Under his feet, this person seemed to have no weight at all. He flew out lightly and hit the ground at the side. After a muffled sound, there was a heart-wrenching scream.
The other man looked at Fu Sinian and took two steps back in fright.
âWere you the ones who went to find Yu Manxi?â His voice was low and hoarse, and it seemed to contain an endless chill, making his heart tremble.
It was almost dusk, and it was the time when day alternated into night. The dim light fell on him...
It was just like autumn leaves falling, bleak and chilling.
He walked toward the two of them step by step, steady and strong. Every step seemed to step on their hearts.
Hearing the commotion outside, the He family members ran out.
Seeing Fu Sinian here, they were very surprised.
âYoung Master Fu?â He Maozhen raised his eyebrows and looked at the person on the ground. âWhat are you doing?!â
âI will ask you two again. Was it you who took Yu Manxi away?â Fu Sinian didnât seem to hear him and continued to close in on the two bodyguards.
He reached out and grabbed the other manâs clothes. The man was so frightened that his body trembled.
âYes, we...â
Just as the man started speaking, a heavy punch landed on his face. The manâs face distorted hideously in pain as he wailed...
Shi Fang stood beside Fu Chen obediently and quietly.
My god.
Itâs my first time seeing Eldest Young Master fight someone after being with the Fu family for so long.
His fingers loosened, and the manâs body went limp and fell to the ground, unable to move.
F*ck! This is too ruthless and exciting.
He had almost forgotten that Fu Sinian had practiced archery in the past. His arm strength was no joke. With such a physique, ordinary people really couldnât withstand it.
No wonder Third Master wanted to come along. He could really kill someone.
âFu Sinian, arenât you being a little too arrogant to attack people the moment you arrive at our house?â Although the people being hit were bodyguards, in He Maozhenâs eyes, they were his people. Touching them was equivalent to slapping his face.
Fu Sinian looked at him...
His eyes were so sharp that they seemed to carry poison, the kind that would kill anyone who saw it.
At this moment, he was still wearing his loungewear. In the cold wind, he was only wearing a light jacket. The cold wind was howling, and his expression was even more terrifying.
âWhere is she?â
âWho is she?â Zou Li was speechless. âThis is the He residence!â
âI know itâs the He residence!â Fu Sinian took a deep breath. âWhere is she?â
He Maozhen was also stunned by his ruthless gaze just now. Only then did he notice that there was another person at the entrance of the courtyard.
Fu Chen was dressed in black, and it was dusk. He faced the light, and his warm face seemed to be coated with a layer of gentle light.
This uncle and nephew formed a very clear contrast.
One was righteous, and the other was evil; one was like a Buddha, and the other was like a demon.
âThird Master, since youâre here, isnât it too unruly of you to rush over suddenly? What kind of place do you think our He residence is?!â He Maozhen immediately said when he saw Fu Sinianâs elder was here.
âDid you send people to pick up Yu Manxi?â Fu Chen asked.
He Shiqing chuckled. âThird Master Fu, what are you talking about? Big Sister isnât at our house. We did send people to pick her up, but she didnât come back with them.â
âSheâs not here?â
âSheâs really not here. Isnât she at home?â
Fu Sinian sneered. âIf she was at home, why would I come to your house?â His expression was as though he was looking at an idiot.
âBut sheâs really not with us. We also wanted to invite her back for dinner.â
âInvite?â Fu Sinian sneered. âIf you wanted to invite her, did you need to fight with her?â
He Maozhen was in the wrong and didnât say anything else.
Just as the situation was in a deadlock, a few black sedans parked quietly outside the He residence, as if they had been waiting...
âShe really isnât here. If you want to barge in, I can only call the police.â He Maozhen couldnât let him barge in at will. Barging into a house was a small matter. But if word of a junior threatening him got out...
Where would he put his face?
âMaster...â Someone walked over. âThe Jing familyâs cars are outside. â
He Maozhen gritted his teeth. Why is even the f*cking Jing family here?
What exactly does Fu Sinian want?
Is he going to destroy the He family?
At this moment, Jing Hanchuan had received another piece of news and immediately lowered the car window. âSinian, Fu Chen, sheâs not here. Thereâs a new situation...â
Fu Sinianâs eyes suddenly narrowed. Before leaving, he took a deep look at He Maozhen.
After the group of people left, Zou Li reached out her hand and patted her chest. âOh my god, they scared me to death. What were they doing here?â
âWhat else could they do? Theyâre just trying to put us in our place. The Fu family is really formidable now. Even a youngster dares to ride on my head.â He Maozhen was annoyed.
He Shiqing bit her lip. âDad, they seem to be saying that Big Sister is missing. Did something happen to her? We have to go take a look...â
âHow could such a living person go missing? They were most likely here to cause trouble on purpose. My people fought with her, but you still canât tell. This is an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!â He Maozhen snorted lightly.
He Shiqing smiled bitterly. She didnât think that Fu Sinian would be so bored. Besides, Fu Chen and the Jing family were both here.
Iâm afraid something really happened...
Missing?
A sinister glint flashed across her eyes.
