Chapter 74: The Drama Queen Goes Online

"Heavens, what is that?" Shi Yuke had sharp eyes; she spotted the teddy bear doll at a glance and immediately shrieked.

Following the direction of her finger, everyone saw that doll.

Others might not know, but the three members of the Shi Family were extremely familiar with that doll.

Shi Yucheng's eyes turned red instantly, and regardless of the muddy road, he hurriedly ran toward that side...

Upon reaching it, he picked up the doll—that's right, although the doll was filthy and soaked through, it was indeed the one Shi Youxuan never left her side without.

"Xuanxuan, my daughter!" Shi Yucheng shouted loudly, then fainted, falling straight to the ground.

Shi Youxuan was sleeping in a daze in the middle of the night when she vaguely heard her father calling her!

However, she turned over and went back to sleep; Shi Youxuan felt she must have had an auditory hallucination just now. Why would her father not be sleeping at home in the middle of the night and be here instead?

"Quick, quickly carry him back."

People scrambled to carry Shi Yucheng back to the Villa. Sheng Hanyu was just preparing to go to the Study to look at that box when he saw the people who had just gone out all return.

When they left, they were all dressed neatly and looking sharp, but upon returning, their shoes and trousers were covered in mud.

Moreover, Shi Yucheng was being carried back.

But what shocked him most was not that Shi Yucheng was being carried, but the teddy bear doll he was clutching tightly in his arms!

He knew Shi Youxuan had one.

Although he couldn't be certain if this was the one Shi Yucheng was holding, given that he was carried in unconscious while holding it, one could guess just by thinking about it a little.

"Where was this found?" Sheng Hanyu asked.

The Old Master glared at him: "Save the person first."

Shi Yucheng was placed on the sofa. The housekeeper, who knew a little first aid, had Jiang Yadan unbutton his clothes and told the surrounding people not to crowd.

She used her thumb to press firmly on his philtrum while instructing Jiang Yadan to stroke his chest from top to bottom to help him breathe.

After repeating this several times, Shi Yucheng let out a long breath: "Sigh—" and slowly regained consciousness.

"Father, Father, are you okay? You scared your daughter to death..." Seeing her father wake up, Shi Yuke threw herself in front of him, her eyes full of tears and concern.

"You fainted just now, and it scared Mom and me to death. You absolutely cannot have anything happen to you. Xuanxuan is already... If something happens to you, how are we mother and daughter supposed to live... Sob, sob, sob, sob..."

Jiang Yadan also echoed her daughter's words, and the family of three hugged each other and wept!

Seeing this, the police couldn't leave either; they hadn't expected to stumble upon such a situation.

The two of them called Sheng Hanyu into a separate room to take a statement, asking him what was going on with this doll.

How would Sheng Hanyu know what was going on?

He was completely bewildered.

Not only did he not answer the police's questions, but he asked back: "Where did you get this doll? My wife also has one, and it seems very similar to this one."

He had seen the doll Shi Youxuan held several times.

But he hadn't paid much attention to the doll, and since he wore sunglasses every time he looked at it, there would be color differences.

Moreover, he seemed to have seen this doll somewhere else before. Where had he seen it?

Sheng Hanyu couldn't recall it for a moment.

Those people wouldn't give him a chance to think carefully; the statement here wasn't even finished, yet it was getting "lively" outside.

Jiang Yadan cried out in a shrill voice: "Xuanxuan, my poor daughter... The sky has fallen for our family..." Then, with an "Aow," she also "fainted."

Next was Shi Yuke's anxious shouting: "Mom, wake up, wake up, Mom!"

The housekeeper used the same method, but while it had worked to wake Shi Yucheng, no matter what, she couldn't get Jiang Yadan to "wake up."

Anyone with eyes could see she was faking it, but in the current situation, it wasn't easy to point it out.

"Send her to the hospital, to the best hospital in Jiangzhou, and find the best doctor to treat her." The Old Master gave the order, and his men hurried to prepare the car.

Jiang Yadan slowly opened her eyes and "woke up."

"Where are you taking me?"

She was "weak and powerless," yet every word was clear: "I'm not going anywhere. I'm staying here to wait for my Xuanxuan to come back. My poor daughter, was she lost or was she harmed by someone? Heavens, sob, sob, sob..."

It was all thunder and no rain; Jiang Yadan was howling "sadly," but she couldn't squeeze out a single tear.

Wang Yingzhi was huddled in the corner, trembling with fear, wishing she could become invisible so that no one could see her.

From the moment she saw that teddy bear doll, she was convinced that Shi Youxuan must be dead, and she was even more worried that others would blame Shi Youxuan's death on her!

After all, she was the one who had driven the fool away in the first place. What was most fatal was the conflict the two had by the lake before she was driven away; the servants and bodyguards in the Villa had all seen it. If this matter were truly investigated seriously, with both human and material evidence, she would have no way to defend herself!

Wang Yingzhi cried, and she was crying sincerely.

Tears fell like beads from a broken string, unstoppable. Of course, it wasn't for anyone else, but for herself.

Bai Xue would not let go of any opportunity to strike at the first branch.

Especially such an excellent opportunity!

She spoke in a sarcastic tone: "At first, when A Kai suspected it, it was labeled as a conspiracy theory, making it seem like we had ill intentions. Now that the doll has been found, finding the person shouldn't be far off, right?"

Sheng Hai didn't speak, nor did he stop his wife.

Thus, Bai Xue went full throttle, all aimed at Wang Yingzhi and Sheng Hanyu, and Jiang Yadan made an even bigger scene...

Shi Yucheng first sat blankly on the sofa without a word, then suddenly ran outside again!

"Stop him, quickly drag him back!" The Old Master was furious.

Shi Yucheng sprinted out, intending to jump straight into the lake. He didn't want to listen to their sarcastic remarks and shifting of blame; he just wanted to search the entire artificial lake, to see the person if alive, or the body if dead...

However, before he could jump down, he was dragged back by the bodyguards.

The Old Master promised him that he would send a salvage team at daybreak to drain the entire lake to find the person, and only then did Shi Yucheng stop.

The police finished taking Sheng Hanyu's statement and didn't take him back to the police station, but they stayed behind.

Although a teddy bear doll was found by the lake, it could not prove that Shi Youxuan was dead; however, both Sheng Hanyu and Wang Yingzhi were restricted from traveling as suspects and had to be available for investigation at any time!

……

Dawn broke.

When the last light in the living room went out, the construction team drove in.

Besides the construction team, many police officers also arrived to supervise the progress of the work at all times.

The artificial lake was completely cordoned off, four high-power water pumps roared as they began to work, and the murky lake water was continuously pumped out and discharged!

"Ahhhhhh—"

Shi Youxuan crawled out from under the covers, yanked the eye mask off her face, and protested with her eyes closed: "Are you sick? Is it house demolition or construction this early in the morning? Can't you just keep it down? Is it really that hard to let someone have a good sleep?"

She jumped out of bed barefoot and went to the window to look outside—she was instantly wide awake!

Her eyes widened in an instant: Damn, what is going on?

There were many police officers outside, along with many people wearing construction team uniforms.

If they were building a house, why would they fence off the lake?

She did not know what was happening outside, so she went back to wash her face, put on her mask, applied special makeup over the mask, and dressed neatly to go out and watch the commotion.

Passing by Sheng Hanyu's room, she did not forget to knock on the door: "Knock, knock, knock."

"Hey, are you there?"

There was no movement inside; he was probably not there.

After he went out last night, it seemed he never came back at all.

Walking down the stairs, just as she was about to go out, Jian Yining hurried in, grabbed her, and pulled her away: "Come with me quickly."
