As Qiu Mo drove back to the Rose Manor with Shen Jianne, Landin had already left.
Opening the back door of the car, his expression slightly tightened, showing a hint of guilt. He hadn't completed the task his boss assigned, so naturally, he wasn't feeling easy.
Shen Jianne lay in the back seat, her disheveled hair covering half of her face, and her light-colored clothes stained with dirt, looking much worse than when she left.
Feeling at a loss, when Qiu Mo stepped out, the door to the main hall was pulled open, and Zhou Rongzhen came out with Fu Jichen.
Shen Jianne, who was unconscious in the car, was carried out. Just like last time, Fu Jichen personally carried her and took her to the third-floor guest room where she had been staying for the past few days, and then put her on the bed.
Qiu Mo didn't enter the room, stopping outside the door.
Fu Jichen's brow furrowed, his displeasure evident, as he said to Zhou Rongzhen, "Call and ask where Xiao Jing Shan is. I think Shen Miss has a fever again."
Shen Jianne's face was abnormally red, blood staining her forehead and mouth. Her loose white sweater had been torn apart, making her homecoming much more chaotic than he had anticipated.
In a hurry, Fu Jichen asked Zhou Rongzhen to call Xiao Jing Shan, but this time the situation was a bit urgent, and Xiao Jing Shan didn't make it in time before Shen Jianne arrived home.
Zhou Rongzhen responded and hurriedly went to make the call to urge him to come over quickly.
Fu Jichen left the room, glanced at Qiu Mo standing straight in the corridor, and asked him, "What's going on? Didn't I ask you to follow her?"
Qiu Mo was questioned, feeling even more guilty, but he didn't hesitate and explained the situation truthfully.
"After I took Miss Shen to Mr. Yin's villa, as you instructed, I waited outside all the time. It got dark, and I didn't see anyone. Only after asking the security did I know that the community has two gates for residents to enter and exit, and Miss Shen probably went out from the east gate." Qiu Mo didn't know why his boss was sure that Miss Shen would definitely come out after returning home. He just followed orders. "When I drove around to the east gate, I saw a group of thugs dragging Miss Shen to a secluded place..."
Pausing here, he glanced at Fu Jichen's expression, which remained calm.
"I intervened to deal with those thugs. They are all martial artists and probably have committed many crimes. I originally wanted to take them to the police station, but when I saw Miss Shen fainting, I had to take care of her first." Qiu Mo lowered his head even more. "That's how it happened."
After a while, there was no response from Fu Jichen.
Qiu Mo swallowed nervously, turned around and left, silently admonishing himself not to make any more mistakes.
At the dining table of the Yin family, only Yin Chengde and Yin Shuyao father and daughter were present. The silver-white light from the Japanese-style lampshade shone on the table full of delicious dishes.
Hu Yuzhi was almost beaten up and, after venting her anger, went back to her room to lie down, unwilling to face Yin Chengde again.
In the dining room, there was only the faint sound of bowls and chopsticks clashing. Yin Chengde picked up two chopsticks of dishes, heavy with worries in his heart, and frowned, taking a sip of wine.
Yin Shuyao looked over, her father pinching his brows, deep wrinkles forming there. She stopped her chopsticks and placed them on the white ceramic chopstick holder, softly comforting, "Dad, don't be angry with Mom. She's also thinking about our family. We did mention Qin's situation to Jianne sister before. Maybe we didn't express it clearly, which led to her misunderstanding, causing the current situation. Before you came back, we tried to persuade Jianne sister. It was her repeated defiance that made Mom lose her temper and act on her."
In front of her family, Yin Shuyao had always been obedient and sensible. She was not a cause for concern in her studies, and she wouldn't make her parents worry. She entered the family company without graduating from college and was praised by her superiors as a rare and excellent helper. Yin Chengde doted on his only daughter and hoped she would take over the company in the future.
In the past, no matter how big or small the matter was, as long as Yin Chengde got angry, her persuasion could always work. This time was different. Her persuasion didn't work much, and Yin Chengde still had a stern face, "Try
