Chapter 110: Faltering? Do You Have Evidence?

Fu Sijue's body went rigid in an instant, and he looked down at Yao Yao in disbelief.

He, Zhong Yun, and the many family members had coaxed him all day; Yao Yao hadn't spoken, and now, because of Xi Wan's matter, Yao Yao actually spoke!

"No, you haven't eaten or drunk anything all day; if you go now, your mom will worry."

When Fu Sijue's words left his mouth, he realized he had tacitly accepted Lu Xiwán's role as "mom," but he didn't rush to correct it.

He carefully observed the expression on Yao Yao's face.

Only when the topic involves Lu Xiwán does he show emotion.

"I… promised Mom and Sister Xi Xi that I would protect them well; I can eat on the road!" Yao Yao's voice was slow but resolute.

Fu Sijue also knew he couldn't handle it, and feared that Yao Yao being rejected would cause something worse, so he reluctantly nodded in agreement.

The Steward had prepared seafood porridge for Yao Yao in advance, and the two hurried to the restaurant.

A police car was parked outside the restaurant, with a crowd of onlookers.

Remembering the tone of Xi Xi's message, Fu Sijue's heart lurched, and he scooped up Yao Yao and rushed inside.

"What exactly happened tonight?" the police officer asked with a solemn face.

Xu Zha Man curled his lip indifferently, "Just got drunk and can't string a sentence together, how can you even not manage that?"

Xu Zha's perfunctory attitude angered the questioning officer, who slammed the table hard.

"A child disappeared tonight; you must tell the truth! Straighten your attitude—anyone here could be the main suspect in this disappearance!"

Just then, Fu Sijue entered holding Yao Yao, and Yun Ruojin hurried forward to greet them.

"A Jue, are you here for a meal too? It might get a bit chaotic tonight; why don't we step outside?" Yun Ruojin affectionately looped her arm around Fu Sijue's.

Even so, Yun Ruojin still harbored great resentment toward Lu Xiwán.

If it weren't for Xi Wan, she could have prepared properly.

Fu Sijue's brows and eyes were frosted, and he coldly pulled Yun Ruojin's hand away, scanning the area but finding no trace of Lu Xiwán.

"Where's Xi Wan?"

Yun Ruojin's complexion changed, her lips paling slightly, her eyes full of disbelief.

She had tried so hard to align herself with Fu Sijue, yet his eyes were always on Xi Wan! How could that be?!

"I have no idea what's going on; tonight Xi Wan suddenly showed up with people, ferociously. Not only did she frame Xu Zha for assault, she kept causing trouble in our restaurant, insisting we were hiding her child, and the police even showed up!"

Yun Ruojin solemnly laid out the accusation, not noticing the fleeting disgust flashing in Fu Sijue's eyes.

"I ask you, where is Xi Wan now?" Fu Sijue's voice seemed below freezing, so cold that Yun Ruojin could hardly believe it.

She had never seen a Fu Sijue like this; he was like a robot, speaking without any emotion.

"Xi Wan is in the monitoring room, A Jue…"

Yun Ruojin hadn't finished speaking when she saw the man in front of her rush away without even glancing at her.

Fu Sijue hurried toward the monitoring room.

Lu Xiwán was engrossed in studying the surveillance when her peripheral vision suddenly caught a tall man appear, and she froze, turning her head.

Fu Sijue and Yao Yao stood less than two meters away from her.

But…

Lu Xiwán's mind lit up; without a word she bolted out, and Fu Sijue chased tightly behind.
