et Si Nian come in" Qi Ya asked, a hint of confusion in the depths of her shadowed eyes.Lu Hanchuan's eyes flashed, "It's not necessary, he's too annoying and will disturb you. I'll just go out."He go...Her thoughts were seen through, Fu Xiaoyao opened her mouth in slight surprise and finally nodded heavily, “Yes, I want to know how Hanchuan is doing now.”

"I knew you'd ask this when you woke up." Shi Mo adjusted the hem of his shirt.

"So, you found out for me" Fu Xiaoyao's eyes lit up.

"Yes." Shi Mo nodded.

"That... that Hanchuan, he now..."

"He's fine, he was just hit hard when he learned you might have perished in the fire during the day. That's why people were searching for you at the scene." Shi Mo said, "Your housekeeper feels very guilty about it."

"You're talking about Aunt Song"

"Yes, she always believed it was her fault. She shouldn't have trusted that phone call. If she hadn't gone out, she wouldn't have been knocked unconscious, and you wouldn't have been taken away. None of this would have happened."

Upon hearing this, Fu Xiaoyao's eyes turned red. "Aunt Song..."

She never imagined that her own misfortune would have such a huge impact on Aunt Song.

Here we go!

A sudden knock on the door startled her.

Shi Mo got up and went to open the door. His assistant stood outside, "Shi Mo, there's news from the scene. The firefighters found a body in a corner of a burned-down warehouse."

"A corpse" Before Shi Mo could even speak, Fu Xiaoyao exclaimed. Then she seemed to remember something and asked anxiously, "Who is that corpse"

The assistant glanced at Shi Mo.

Time ink nodded.

The assistant replied, "We're not sure yet. The body was burned beyond recognition. We only know it was a male."

"Male..." Fu Xiaoyao murmured these two words, her mind struck like lightning. After barely regaining a little color in her face, it turned pale again.

Shi Mo looked at her like this, a gleam flashed in his eyes, "How come, you know who it is"

Fu Xiaoyao's eyes were empty, her body trembling slightly, as if she was very afraid. After a long time, she finally found her voice, "If I'm not wrong, it's my brother..."

"Your brother" Shi Mo raised an eyebrow, quickly reacting, "The one who kidnapped you"

"It's him..." Fu Xiaoyao painfully closed her eyes.

She never expected that Fu Zixuan would actually die, burned to death in the fire!

For a moment, Fu Xiaoyao's heart was filled with sadness.

How did Fu Zixuan die...

Isn't it said that misfortune lasts for a thousand years Qi Ya and Qi Dongming did so many bad things but they are still living well. Why is it that he's the one who died

She hated Fu Zixuan, hated him to the point of gnashing her teeth. Yet, she never thought about letting him die.

Fu Xiaoyao wanted to cry a little.

She raised her arm to cover her eyes, and tears flowed down her cheek under the cover of her arm, dripping onto the pillow and spreading out, soaking a large area.

"Zixuan..." she murmured sadly, the name heavy on her lips.

Everyone says that death is like a lamp going out. At this moment, she could clearly feel that all her hatred for Fu Zixuan had vanished in an instant.

Without hatred, warm and happy memories of her childhood with Fu Zixuan gradually surfaced in her mind.

She regretted it deeply, she truly regretted it. If she hadn't given Fu Xiaoyao to that human trafficker back then, would they not have come to this point Would they still be good siblings with a strong bond

It's a pity that there are no ifs and buts, nor any regrets.

Thinking of these things, Fu Xiaoyao could no longer suppress the pain in her heart. From silently weeping, she began to cry aloud.

Shi Mo saw her crying so heartbroken, his usually gentle and composed face showed a hint of helplessness.

"That...don't cry." Shi Mo wanted to comfort Fu Xiaoyao, but she was crying so hard that he didn't know what to say. After thinking for a moment, he said, "The doctor said your body isn't good and the fetus is unstable. You can't get too excited emotionally, so don't cry. Crying too much can lead to miscarriage."

"…" Upon hearing this, Fu Xiaoyao's heart felt a bit speechless, and even her crying paused for a moment.

She knew he was comforting her, trying to stop her from crying.

But his comfort sounded so awkward.

Though she thought so, Fu Xiaoyao actually took Shi Mo's words to heart. For the sake of her child in her belly, she took several deep breaths and forced herself to stop crying.

"Mr. Shi," she said, lowering her arms that had been covering her eyes. She opened a pair of bloodshot eyes and looked at the man by the bed. "Could you please leave I'd like to be alone for a while."

Fu Zixuan's death was a huge blow to her.

She needs to slow down.

"Alright, I'll go out first. Call me if you need anything." Shi Mo readily agreed, handing her a clean tissue before turning and leaving the room.

After going out, the assistant walked beside him, “Mr. Shi, the person we sent to inquire about Mr. Lu's situation was discovered by Mr. Lu's special assistant.”

"It's normal to find out, the people I sent were openly asking around, not secretly. Who wouldn't notice" Shi Mo didn't feel surprised at all by this news.

The assistant touched his nose and said, "I guess so."

"What did Lu's assistant say" Shi Mo went downstairs, walked to the sofa and sat down, pouring himself a cup of coffee, he asked faintly.

The assistant stood before him, "He didn't say anything, just asked who it was. When he found out it was our people, Joe let our people leave."

"I know, give me your phone. After all, it's impolite to pry into other people's privacy, we should apologize." Shi Mo took a sip of coffee and ordered.

The assistant handed the phone over with both hands.

After taking the note, Shi Mo flipped it over and dialed a number.

"General Lu, it's General Shi from the overseas branch," Qiao Mu saw Lu Hanchuan standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, his eyes gazing far out at the scenery. His back was lonely and he didn't seem to have any intention of answering the phone call. He couldn't help but glance at the caller ID and reminded him.

However, Lu Hanchuan remained unresponsive, spitting out two words without looking back, "No!"

Joe gritted his teeth and insisted, "Mr. Lu, you should still take it. I just caught someone outside the villa. That person was sent by Mr. Shi to inquire about your news."

"Checking up on me" Lu Hanchuan finally turned his head this time.

Qiao Mu was taken aback by the pallor on his face and hurriedly lowered her head, "Yes, Shi Zong also knows everything that happened today."

My goodness, it's only been a day, how come Mr. Lu already looks so down

Could it be that he's been so deeply affected by the possibility of his wife being gone

"Give it to me!" Lu Hanchuan didn't know Qiao Mu's thoughts, and he reached out his hand towards her.

Joe came to his senses and hurriedly handed the phone over.

Lu Hanchuan took the phone and glanced at the caller ID before lowering his eyelids to answer.

"Lu Zong It's Shi Mo," a clear and pleasant voice came from the phone.

Lu Hchuan pursed his thin lips into a straight line, without a sound.

But Shi Mo had already confirmed that the person who answered the phone was him, and without further greetings, he got straight to the point. "Lu Zong, I'm really sorry to bother you so late, but I called to apologize. I sent someone to the lobby to pass on your message before, and I'm truly sorry for that."

“So why do you want to inquire about me” Lu Hanchuan’s face was as cold as frost, and he finally spoke. His voice was so cold it could freeze people solid.

But Shi Mo remained unaffected, instead faintly smiling twice. "It's like this, I heard that President Lu had a major event happen today, so I was a bit worried. If something happened to you, it would inevitably affect the cooperation between our two families, so I specifically asked someone to go and find out. When I learned that you were fine, I felt relieved."

"Is that so..." Lu Hanchuan narrowed his lifeless eyes.

Although this man's reasons seemed logical, he always felt something was off.al suggestions. Can I diagnose you" 。Lu Hanchuan put Xiao Bao down. 。Doctor Tom stepped forward, reached out his hand, and covered his eyes. 。Then, Lu Hanchuan heard a beautiful humming...
