Chapter 38: There Is Only One Mastermind Behind the Scenes

Luo Zhou still felt it wasn't enough, his cold gaze fixed on Fu Sijue.

"Matters of the Fu Family shouldn't be my concern, but if Mr. Fu drags Wanwan into this, then I have no choice but to step in; Miss Gu knows what kind of person she is, and Mr. Fu knows better than I do."

When he was abroad before, Luo Zhou didn't understand the facts and never made any baseless assumptions.

But now that he knows a bit, Luo Zhou only resents that he didn't stand by Lu Xiwán and scold her harshly back then.

Gu Qingmeng is a typical fool and villain, and Fu Sijue is merely a henchman for the tiger.

Neither of the two is worthy of sympathy.

"Mr. Luo also knows his hand has overreached." Being pricked by Luo Zhou's words, Fu Sijue's tone turned sour.

In these years, almost no one dared to mention Lu Xiwán's name before him, and even Luo Zhou didn't speak of her obliquely.

"I'm too lazy to deal with Fu Family matters, but I must look after Xi Xi and Wanwan; otherwise, the two of them would suffer grievances at your place, without even a place to hide—truly pitiful."

Thinking of how Lu Xiwán was rescued back then, Luo Zhou feels it wasn't worth it.

What's good about this man? He doesn't deserve her being battered all over.

"Before Mr. Fu can sort out his own family affairs, don't go in front of Xi Xi; I'm afraid Miss Gu will get jealous again and bring trouble onto Xi Xi."

In that instant, Luo Zhou had a thought: there are plenty of good men in the world; at worst you just switch one, no need to hang yourself on the crooked tree that is Fu Sijue.

He just wants to end this quickly, pulling Lu Xiwán out of the quagmire that is Fu Sijue.

Lest long nights bring many dreams, and some people start to imagine things.

……

Shen Shu, as Fu Sijue's close aide, has never been all talk when it comes to action.

Even though the kindergarten's surveillance footage was damaged, Shen Shu still uncovered a trace.

"President Fu, we are currently tracking the young master's location; the household has already been notified, and we expect to find him in about two hours."

To locate the young master, Shen Shu personally stared at the surveillance for several hours, finally extracting a clue.

Fu Sijue pondered briefly, "When you find him, inform me; I'll go there myself."

He must meet the kidnappers of Fu Yao in person, to see whether those people truly have the courage of a bear's heart or a bear's heart and leopard's gall, daring to strike at his son.

Some were delighted, some worried; Gu Qingmeng never imagined that, thinking she had been cautious enough, she would still be caught by Shen Shu with a foothold.

Seeing the Steward and the nanny laughing brightly, Gu Qingmeng could only force a stiff smile.

Inside, she was already a bundle of panic.

Had she known they were so efficient, Gu Qingmeng would never have taken any risky move.

The situation seemed to be getting bigger.

Gu Qingmeng clenched her phone, her fingers trembling slightly.

Finally, after much difficulty, she resolved to go upstairs.

"Dad, I have something now and can't go home; you all should contact Heihu as quickly as possible… deliver Fu Yao into their hands, then have them get in touch with me."

Gu Cheng on that side startled.

"Heihu was just released from prison…"

"I have no other way now; apart from Heihu, no one can help me. Contact him quickly, and I'll explain to you later."
