Chapter 324: Shen Qiong's Disappearance

ttle thing had tossed and turned all night, falling asleep just before dawn. It was now sleeping soundly.In the dim light, he admired for a while the sweet sleeping face of the little girl. He gently...Old Madam Fu picked up the photo album, her wrinkled hand gently tracing the cover. She opened it and sighed, "In a blink of an eye, your uncles have been gone for twelve years."

She turned the pages of photos slowly, “Your older brother shouldered our Fu family at such a young age. He endured so much hardship and grievance over these twelve years. Now that he’s finally found someone he loves and returned to a normal life, Mo'er.”

Then, Mrs. Fu's voice suddenly stopped. She raised her eyes and looked at Fu Jingmo.

Fu Jingmo retracted his gaze from the photo and looked at Old Madam Fu, "Grandma, what do you say"

"Promise grandma, don't go and cause trouble."

Lady Fu's eyes were bright and clear, her gaze both pleading and commanding.

Just because Big Brother has suffered and been wronged, does that mean he deserves to be treated unfairly

There's no logic to that.

Fu Jingmo inwardly scoffed, but on the surface he obediently nodded, "Don't worry, Grandma."

After receiving his assurance, Old Madam Fu's furrowed brows finally relaxed. She closed the photo album and said wearily, "Alright, grandma is tired and wants to take a nap. You go eat dinner in the dining room and come back later."

"Mmm."

Fu Jingmo naturally took the photo album and put it aside, helped Mrs. Fu lie down, and covered her with a quilt.

After Old Madam Fu closed her eyes to rest, he swiftly opened the photo album, snapped a picture, then put the album back beside the pillow and left.

Back in the car, Fu Jingmo looked at the photos in the album. The scarlet thin lips curled into a cold and pleasant arc, “Mu Xing, my dear girl, I will let you see clearly, the true face of my elder brother. You mustn't cry…”

- Lord's Manor.

After dinner, Mu Xing watched as Fu Lingxiao drank the medicine and then returned to her room to read medical books.

Fu Lingxiao then went to the study. After finishing his documents, it was already eleven o'clock. He returned to the master bedroom, but Xiao Yazi was nowhere to be seen.

He turned and went to the next room. The little girl was sitting at her desk reading a medical book, her head bowed. From the side, you could see her slightly furrowed brow, she looked very serious.

He was so engrossed that he didn't even notice when he walked up to her.

"Baby."

Fu Lingxiao raised his hand and rubbed the top of her head, "It's late, we should go to sleep."

Mu Xing was engrossed, not even lifting her head, she replied, "Oh, alright, I'll sleep after I finish reading this."

Fu Lingxiao's handsome brows were slightly furrowed. This little thing, ever since she set her sights on reaching the pinnacle of medical arts, had been spending all day either researching medicinal herbs or poring over medical books, not sticking to him at all.

He didn't like this feeling of being ignored.

He pulled the medical book out of Mu Xing's hand, and the little girl only then turned to look at him, "Little uncle, what are you doing"

Fu Lingxiao's face was calm as he asked her, "Is the medical book prettier than me"

Mu Xing was startled for a moment, then immediately took his hand that was drooping at his side, gently shaking it. A sweet smile appeared on her delicate face, “Of course not, Uncle Xiao is the most handsome.”

Fu Lingxiao raised his eyebrows, "Then you only look at medical books and not me"

Mu Xing: "..."

She was studying medical texts to find a way to counteract the poison.

But she couldn't tell her uncle.

She didn't bother explaining. Instead, she stood up and wrapped her arms around the man's slender waist, whispering softly, "Alright, I'll watch you."

Mu Xing looked up with her small head, the dazzling lights illuminating her fair face. Her big eyes sparkled like little deer eyes, reflecting starlight within them.

Fu Lingxiao loved the little girl to the utmost, his heart and eyes were full of her image. He lowered his head and gently pecked her tender lips, then scooped her up in his arms, "Let's go back to the room and see things a different way."

-Shen Lue lay on the roof, his hands resting behind his head, staring at the twinkling stars above, lost in thought.

His phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated. He lazily took it out, answered the call, and before he could speak, his mother Nayeon's voice rushed over urgently, "Xiaoqiong is missing!"

Shen Yue's expression turned serious, and he suddenly sat up and said, "Mom, don't worry first, tell me slowly."

Xiaoling said she was going to play games with her friends after school, and would be home by nine o'clock at the latest. I waited until ten, but she still hadn't returned, and her phone was off. I called her friend, and they said she hadn't gone to play games with them today at all.

I contacted everyone I could, but no one had seen Xiaoqiong. Your dad's people just called and said they found Xiaoqiong's phone in an alley behind an internet cafe. There was blood on the ground, but they didn't see her. Your dad is already out there looking for her with people. You need to come back quickly and help find your sister.

"Ok, I'll be right back!"

Shen Yue cut off the phone and quickly flipped over, entering the second floor through the window of the stairs. He came to the master bedroom door and raised his hand to knock. "Mr. Fu."

In the master bedroom, the man held the girl beneath him, kissing her with delicate intensity.

The silken robe hung open, revealing his powerfully built chest and abdomen. Sexy and brimming with explosive power.

The sudden knock startled the man, causing him to pause mid-action. He panted slightly, raising his eyes to the closed door, and coldly curled his lips: "What is it"

"Master Fu, something happened at home, I need to go back right away."

Shen Lue's voice came from outside the door, Mu Xing heard the urgency in his tone, and hurriedly reached out to push the man pressing on her, "Brother Shen Lue, do you need..."

The man suddenly lowered his head, pressing his thin lips heavily against hers, silencing the "help" she hadn't even had time to utter.

Mu Xing's beautiful brows furrowed, her eyes signaling him to let go.

The man moved his lips away, gently tapping her delicate lips with his finger, and said to Shen Lue outside the door: "Go."

There was no more sound from outside the door. Fu Lingxiao looked down at the little figure beneath him, his voice cool and gentle: "You care about him so much"

Under the hazy lights, his meticulously sculpted handsome face was fluctuating with smiles, but his deep-set eyes were pitch black.

Mu Xing seemed oblivious to the lurking danger, nodding seriously, "Yes."

Fu Lingxiao's face suddenly turned cold, he just wanted to punish this infuriating little thing, but then he saw her suddenly curl the corners of her lips, her rosy cheeks with dimples rippling, "Oh my, Little Uncle fell into the vinegar vat, would you like me to help you fish you out"

She blinked lightly, like a little fox, sly and alluring.

Fu Lingxiao leaned closer to her face, his thin lips curving into a slight smile, "Good."

Before the words left his mouth, a force slammed into him, pinning him to the bed.

The girl knelt on him, her soft lips kissing his chest...

- At midnight, the Shen family villa was brightly lit but eerily silent.

Everyone was dispatched to search for Shen Qiong. Considering the possibility of kidnapping, Nan Ying stayed home waiting for a call.

As soon as Shen Yue stepped into the living room, he saw his mother sitting on the sofa, her eyes glued to her phone. She looked anxious and unsettled, like she was waiting for her phone to ring but also afraid of it ringing.

He carried his notebook and hurried over, "Mom, has Dad sent any messages" realized where the strange feeling in her heart from this morning came from.No matter how busy she was, as long as Da Bao knocked on the door, she would definitely come and open it.But today...Qianfe...
