Chapter 449: You Said You Would Never Lie to Me

~8 min read 1,569 words

Thus, the police cleared the way, and they set off in a grand procession.

The sea area nearby had already been surrounded by police, and with police clearing the path and providing protection all the way, Shi Youxuan arrived at that car recycling plant.

The salvage ships had been working for a long time, and it was confirmed that the surrounding area of over a hundred miles had been thoroughly searched, with no abnormalities discovered.

There were no signs of a struggle on land either, but in the office that had been evacuated in a hurry, there were a few traces of blood.

Those bloodstains were not enough to be fatal, nor could they be used to confirm whose they were.

But they were enough to make Shi Youxuan terrified.

Very quickly, the DNA analysis of the bloodstains came out!

The results made everyone heave a sigh of relief; the blood did not belong to Sheng Hanyu, which meant that even the possibility of him being injured could be ruled out.

After Shi Youxuan returned from the seaside, she began a life that felt like every day was a year.

Jian Yixin urged her to return to Jiangzhou to wait, saying that if there was any news here, she would be the first to be notified; Shi Ran was in Jiangzhou, and although she had her grandparents looking after her, it wouldn't do for her parents to be away for too long.

Shi Youxuan would not go back.

She had to stay here to cooperate with the police; she was very familiar with Zhu Yiwen's methods and knew that if he were holding Sheng Hanyu hostage, he would make a move before long.

As long as he made a move, Shi Youxuan would be able to discover it immediately.

Zhu Yiwen would not go to Jiangzhou, so she could not leave either!

The Jin Family couple were eager for Shi Youxuan to stay, as it was the perfect opportunity to figure out if she was their other granddaughter.

Jin Laofuren brought a bowl of steamed egg with shrimp to Shi Youxuan: "Child, eat something, won't you? You haven't eaten anything for a whole day; if this continues, your health will collapse."

Shi Youxuan shook her head: "I'm not hungry."

"Even if you aren't hungry, eat a little, okay? I'll feed you!"

Naturally, she couldn't let someone else feed her, so she took the bowl and ate two bites.

Tears fell plop-plop into the bowl.

She had eaten a shrimp.

Shi Youxuan was moved by the scene, remembering how every time they ate, Sheng Hanyu would peel the shrimp and put the complete shrimp meat into her bowl.

Where was he now?

Did he have anything to eat?

Was he doing well?

Unable to eat any more, Shi Youxuan put down the bowl and pulled an apologetic smile from the corners of her mouth: "I'm full."

"Sigh!"

Jin Laofuren stopped urging her, sighed, and took the bowl away.

Shi Youxuan's appearance reminded her of her own son.

Back then, she had insisted on opposing her son and daughter-in-law being together, placing her son under house arrest so they couldn't see each other.

At the time, her son had the exact same expression, also unable to think of tea or food.

He would sit in his room for the whole day, and later he finally ran away with that woman; just when she was prepared to forgive them, it became a permanent separation between the living and the dead.

The white-haired burying the black-haired.

Jin Laofuren had experienced that kind of pain once, and that was enough; she absolutely did not want to experience it a second time.

But Shi Youxuan's lovesick appearance was so much like her son's, and she was so worried that if Sheng Hanyu could never be found, she would lose the granddaughter she had finally managed to find again.

Although they hadn't done a paternity test yet, the elderly Jin couple had already confirmed in their hearts that Shi Youxuan was their granddaughter.

An hour later, Jin Laofuren brought in a bowl of bird's nest.

Shi Youxuan really had no appetite, but she still ate two bites, and Jin Laofuren was as happy as a child, beaming with joy.

Whose child it is, that is who worries.

The aunt called Shi Youxuan, using Shi Ran's name to ask when they were coming back.

In reality, she was asking about Sheng Hanyu.

Jian Yining and his girlfriend had been safely rescued two days ago, yet they still hadn't returned; this was not logical.

The family still didn't know that Sheng Hanyu had been taken away.

It was mainly for fear that the elderly and the child would worry.

But worry is the kind of thing that doesn't cease to exist just because you're afraid of it!

Shi Youxuan thought for a moment and decided to tell her aunt the truth: "Aunt, I'm sorry..."

"What does 'sorry' mean?" The aunt's voice trembled: "I don't want to hear 'sorry', you tell me that you are all fine, that you are all doing well."

The aunt had misunderstood.

Shi Youxuan: "Hanyu was taken by Zhu Yiwen in my place. Please rest assured, he won't be in danger. That person only wants to use Hanyu to make money and won't do anything to him. I am here thinking of ways to rescue him, and we will return together!" She told the truth.

The tone on the phone was not as heavy as before, and the aunt seemed to heave a sigh of relief: "Xuanxuan, you really aren't lying to me? Is Hanyu just missing right now?"

"Yes, I swear on Hanyu's life, I am not lying to you."

Actually, there are some things that aren't necessarily better off hidden.

Human imagination is too powerful, and the fear of the unknown is sometimes infinitely magnified; the less that is said, the more one will think of the worst.

Shi Youxuan told her aunt the truth, and the aunt turned to comfort her: "Xuanxuan, you must take care of your health in the United States, and even more so, take care of your safety. You must believe that Hanyu will definitely return to our side safe and sound; he is so brave and smart, there will definitely be no problem."

The aunt's words were the greatest comfort to Shi Youxuan.

She nodded vigorously: "Mm, I believe Hanyu will definitely return safe and sound, and return to our side."

The aunt urged her to just tell her about this matter and not to tell Sheng Jiang and the child.

The child is too young to handle things, and Sheng Jiang... cannot handle things!

Island.

Sheng Hanyu has been brought here for a week already.

During this time, Zhu Yiwen has come up with new tricks every day.

First, he used beautiful women to seduce him, but later, seeing it didn't work, he sent out hunks!

Sheng Hanyu was directly disgusted to the point of vomiting.

Women posturing and preening were already enough to make him loathe them, and now a group of men posturing and preening?

The scene was too beautiful to look at.

Sheng Hanyu drove them all out.

He took the initiative to request to see Zhu Yiwen.

In Zhu Yiwen's office, the two met.

Sheng Hanyu got straight to the point: "Stop wasting effort on those useless things; if you want me to do something, just say it directly."

Zhu Yiwen smiled slightly: "No rush, we have a long road ahead."

"Long road my ass," Sheng Hanyu cursed.

"You won't last long at all. If you're smart, you'll let me go back immediately. I'll spare you later on too; don't wait until the day you die to regret it."

Zhu Yiwen:...

He sank his face: "Sheng Hanyu, you had better think clearly before you speak. Don't think I wouldn't dare do anything to you; you refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit."

"Fine, bring the forfeit over then, let me taste what it's like." Sheng Hanyu sat down across from him, completely unconcerned.

Who are you trying to scare?

Do you take him, Sheng Hanyu, for a three-year-old child who is easy to fool?

He is currently the only hope in Zhu Yiwen's hands, and Zhu Yiwen does not dare do anything to him.

Zhu Yiwen:...

He actually discovered the shadow of Shi Youxuan on Sheng Hanyu.

In their life together, their personalities, living habits, and more had influenced each other, and they were looking more and more like a married couple.

Zhu Yiwen pulled a forced smile from his face: "Mr. Sheng, don't have such great hostility toward me. I am sincerely wanting to cooperate with you. Okay, if you don't want long-term cooperation, that's fine too. You just need to help me earn ten billion, and I will let you go. You set the time."

This sounded quite democratic.

Sheng Hanyu said: "Isn't it just money you want? Why go through such a big circle? Give me an account number and let me go back. I will transfer the funds to you immediately after I return. If you are afraid I won't pay after I go back, I can write you an IOU."

Zhu Yiwen's smile gradually became natural: "Mr. Sheng is joking. Your reputation is famous internationally; of course I believe you..."
