Chapter 101: What Crime Has the Child Committed?

A sudden sound of high heels came from the second floor, and Lu Xiwán and Xi Xi both looked up along the sound.

Yun Ruojin, in pajamas, appeared at the stairwell and impatiently looked down.

"You really are lingering like restless spirits; go back, this place has nothing to do with you."

She mockingly looked at the two below, "Miss Xi doesn't really think she can save the world, does she?"

Lu Xiwán ignored Yun Ruojin's words as if she hadn't heard them and lifted her foot to go up.

"Since there's nothing wrong, let me see Yao Yao. I'll leave once I make sure the child is safe, and I won't interfere with Miss Yun's good business."

"Who let you come up! This is the Fu Family; you have no right to interfere in Fu Family matters!"

Yun Ruojin's emotions suddenly flared, and she rushed straight to the stairwell.

Xi Xi grabbed Lu Xiwán's sleeve and nervously handed her the phone.

The screen prominently displayed a message sent by Yao Yao.

"I'm locked on the second floor right now."

Lu Xiwán let out a cold laugh, her gaze like a sword flashing at Yun Ruojin, "Is it that I have no right to interfere, or is Miss Yun feeling guilty and not wanting me to see!"

Yao Yao's condition was already poor, and further provocation could lead to unimaginable consequences.

"Xi Xi, wait in the car first; I'm going to find Yao Yao."

Lu Xiwán hurried upward, while Yun Ruojin panicked and kept retreating.

"If you come over again, I'll call the police!" Yun Ruojin glared at Lu Xiwán with a fierce look, but her words floated lightly without any intimidation.

Lu Xiwán, unfazed, met Yun Ruojin's gaze and said, "Then call the police right now; it'll be a good chance to see where people are, and Miss Yun's behavior suits me perfectly."

With that sentence, Yun Ruojin was left speechless; she stubbornly blocked the room's doorway, refusing to let Lu Xiwán in.

Yun Ruojin's behavior was too deliberate, and Lu Xiwán subconsciously felt that Yao Yao was the one inside the room.

"He's only a four‑year‑old child! Do you know what you're doing now? If something happens to him, can you afford to pay?"

Lu Xiwán clenched her teeth, a sour sting flashing in her eyes, and in a daze she again saw Yao Yao's sensitive and suspicious demeanor from their first meeting.

What Crime Has the Child Committed?

What did the child do wrong to make them torment him like this?

Yun Ruojin blocked the way and wouldn't budge, "You simply can't get in! I…"

Before she could finish, Lu Xiwán shoved her aside; she looked up in horror and saw Lu Xiwán's gaze chillingly terrifying.

"You'd better pray that Yao Yao is okay, or I won't let you go."

After speaking, Lu Xiwán pushed the door open and entered, leaving the hesitant Yun Ruojin shut outside.

"Auntie is looking for you, Yao Yao, come out quickly; it's safe outside now…"

Before she could finish, Lu Xiwán heard a heavy panting sound.

Only a dim wall lamp was lit in the room, and Lu Xiwán, standing at the doorway, noticed nothing unusual.

The farther Lu Xiwán walked inward, the stronger the ominous feeling grew, yet she paid it no mind and followed the faint light forward.

Suddenly, a hand grabbed Lu Xiwán and yanked her down.

The scent of sandalwood mixed with a strong alcohol smell swept in instantly; Lu Xiwán frowned displeased, while Fu Sijue sat on the floor silent.

"Fu Sijue!?"

"Where's Yao Yao, where is Yao Yao?"

At this point, Lu Xiwán could also guess why Yun Ruojin was so nervous.

Tonight, Fu Mingcheng summoned Fu Sijue back, clearly a Hongmen Banquet, intended to make a marriage a done deal between him and Yun Ruojin.

No one answered Lu Xiwán's words; the large hand on her wrist suddenly tightened, she lost her footing, and Fu Sijue yanked her to the ground.
