Chapter 112: The Villain Files a Complaint First

~3 min read 544 words

He only shows emotion when the matter involves Lu Xiwán.

"I promised Mom and little sister Xi Xi to protect them well; I can, even, eat on the road!" Yao Yao's voice was slow, but resolute.

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

The Steward had prepared seafood congee 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.

Recalling the tone of Xi Xi's message, Fu Sijue's heart lurched, and he grabbed Yao Yao and rushed inside.

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

Xu Zha Man curled his lip indifferently, "He just got drunk and spoke without any restraint; how can even that be a problem?"

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

"A child went missing tonight; you must tell the truth!"

"Straighten your attitude; now anyone could be the main suspect in this disappearance!"

Just then, Fu Sijue entered holding Yao Yao, and Yun Ruojin hurriedly went to greet them.

"A Jue, are you also here for a meal?"

"It might be a bit chaotic here tonight; why don't we go out?" Yun Ruojin affectionately looped her arm around Fu Sijue's.

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

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

Fu Sijue's brows were frosted like ice; he coldly pulled Yun Ruojin's hand away, scanned the area, and found no trace of Lu Xiwán.

"Where's Xi Wan?"

Yun Ruojin's complexion changed, her lips paling slightly, eyes filled with disbelief.

Xi Wan again!

She had worked so hard to align with Fu Sijue, yet his eyes always held only Xi Wan!

Why?!

"I don't know what's going on either!"

"Tonight Xi Wan suddenly came with people, ferociously; not only did she falsely accuse Xu Zha of assault, she also kept causing trouble in our restaurant..."

"She insisted we were hiding her child, and the police even showed up!"

Yun Ruojin solemnly filed the complaint, not noticing the fleeting disgust 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 this side of Fu Sijue; he was like a robot, speaking without any emotion.

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

Before Yun Ruojin could finish, 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 caught a tall man appear; she turned her head and froze.

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

But...

Lu Xiwán's mind flashed, and she silently bolted out, with Fu Sijue tightly pursuing from behind.

Fu Sijue reached the lobby restroom and saw Lu Xiwán emerging, holding Lu Xixi's hand.

Her face was full of unhappiness, while Xi Xi beamed brightly and ran over at once.

"Yao Yao brother, I knew you wouldn't abandon us; you indeed came looking for us!"
