Don't Take Xiangsi's Things

The pain left Little Flattop panting heavily.

"Don't underestimate her just because she's a girl! She's tough! Even though I tore off her vest, she kicked the car window glass to pieces with one kick! Then she grabbed the shards and stabbed at me!" 

As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves. "I'm not lying! Look at this..."

Little Flattop revealed the bloodied cuts on his arms.

He wailed, "She did all this! Wahhh..."

"Shut up! Stop crying!" Fu Hanjiang wasn't here to listen to his complaints. "I'm asking you, where is she?"

"I don't know..."

Still doesn't know?!

Fu Hanjiang suddenly closed his eyes and looked down at Yao Leyi, who was holding onto him tightly. "Leyi, let go! I'm going to kill him today!"

The silent brat, shedding no tears until he's in the coffin!

"No..." Yao Leyi didn't dare to let go, "He really doesn't know!"

"Ouch!"

Little Flattop curled up on the ground, crying even louder now. "I really don't know! She stabbed me and then ran away! I, I... couldn't catch up..."

"Hanjiang!"

Yao Leyi looked up at him, "I think he's telling the truth! At this point, hiding it from him won't do any good!"

Fu Hanjiang understood this logic, but his heart was filled with despair... Where did Xiangsi go?

And if she used glass shards to stab Little Flattop, what about her? Is she injured?

He suddenly opened his eyes, "Tell me, where?"

"What... where?" Little Flattop's brain was already a mess.

"Seeking death!"

"Hanjiang!" Seeing him about to lose his temper again, Yao Leyi held onto him even tighter, almost unable to bear it.

"I know, I know!"

Just a bit slow in reaction, Little Flattop was scared out of his wits, his heart almost stopping. He cried, "She's at the Yashi Intersection! She got off the car there!"

Little Flattop shivered, his breath ragged, "She ran away, and I don't know anything else! Really, I don't know, wahhh..."

Yashi Intersection.

Fu Hanchuan sat in his wheelchair, his brows furrowed deeply. Finally, he spoke. "Hanjiang, that's enough, let him go."

With his eyes lowered, he glanced at Little Flattop as if he were looking at trash.

His tone was calm, as if chatting.

Though the tone was light, it sent chills down one's spine.

"Listen carefully, there's a word... that's fake. I don't want your life, but in Jiangcheng — I have plenty of ways to make you wish you were dead."

He pressed the wheelchair button, making it turn around, and went out.

Fu Hanchuan softly called, "Asi."

"Yes." Qi Si immediately came forward to help him with the wheelchair. "Young Master, rest assured, we'll send people over."

...

Yashi Intersection.

It was desolate, with no villages in sight, no shops behind, and no undeveloped areas nearby.

Where could someone go after getting off there?

At the moment, Qi Si and Rong Zheng led people to search around the Yashi Intersection.

Dawn broke.

Fu Hanjiang hadn't slept all night.

He couldn't sleep, Xiangsi had been missing for almost 24 hours.

When she left, she wasn't wearing warm clothes, didn't bring her phone...

She had no relatives or friends in Jiangcheng.

Where was she staying? Was she cold? Was she hungry?

Why was he still here, suffering like this? Why wasn't it him?

"How's it going?" 

Fu Mingzhu woke up and came downstairs to check. Still no news, her worry raising her blood pressure again.

"Where did Xiangsi go?"

In the end, the news from Qi Si and Rong Zheng's side was that they turned the area around the Yashi Intersection upside down but found no trace of Sheng Xiangsi.

In nearly 24 hours, she seemed to have vanished into thin air.

No records of staying in hotels or inns.

No information from bus stations, airports, or accident sites...

Yao Leyi came over, asking them to come over for breakfast.

"Grandma, Han Chuan, Han Jiang, breakfast is ready. Come over and eat something."

"Why don't I have an appetite?" Fu Mingzhu sighed again and again.

"Grandma." Yao Leyi advised, "I know you're worried, but you have to take care of yourself too."

She then persuaded Fu Hanchuan, "You too, still in the rehabilitation period, how can you sustain yourself without eating anything?"

"Okay."

Fu Hanchuan nodded, glanced at Fu Hanjiang, and said, "Come eat."

"No."

Fu Hanjiang shook his head and went upstairs, "Grandma, Big Brother, you eat, I can't eat."

"Hanjiang..." Yao Leyi wanted to persuade him.

"Let him go." Fu Hanchuan stopped her, "He deserves it."

Yao Leyi was stunned. Was Hanchuan taking out his anger on Sheng Xiangsi through him?

...

Upstairs.

Fu Hanjiang didn't return to his own room but went to Sheng Xiangsi's room, straightened his clothes, and lay down on her bed.

His cheek buried deeply in the pillow, inhaling... the scent of Xiangsi was everywhere in the room.

"Where are you?"

He hadn't slept all night, but even lying here, he had no desire to sleep at all. Every time he closed his eyes, his head felt like it was splitting open.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a knock on the door.

It was Rong Zheng.

"Second Young Master."

Fu Hanjiang had to get up and open the door, his eyes filled with bloodshot veins. "What's the matter?"

"It's like this..."

Knowing he wasn't in a good mood, Rong Zheng didn't want to disturb him, but it was about company matters and couldn't be delayed.

"Yeah."

After listening to Rong Zheng, Fu Hanjiang nodded. "Okay, I got it. Let me tidy up, and I'll go to the company right away."

"Okay, Second Young Master."

He went back to his room, took a shower, shaved, changed his clothes, and came out.

Just then, Yao Leyi came to find him.

Seeing the redness in his eyes and the heavy dark circles, she kindly advised, "Are you going to the company? Have something to eat before you go."

"No need."

"Hanjiang!"

Yao Leyi grabbed him, "I wouldn't say anything if you were at home, but going out on an empty stomach, how will you have the energy?"

"Leyi."

Fu Hanjiang took a deep breath, pulling her hand away, "I can't eat, Xiangsi might be hungry right now!"

Yao Leyi froze in place, chuckling, "Is it my fault that she's hungry? Why are you snapping at me?"

"Leyi."

Fu Hanjiang suddenly raised his voice, his brow furrowing deeply, "In the future, don't snatch things from Xiangsi."

"What?" Yao Leyi looked incredulous. "Did I snatch something from her?"

"That dress."

Fu Hanjiang narrowed his eyes slightly, "You knew it was the one I ordered for Xiangsi, yet you insisted on taking hers?"

Yao Leyi stood dumbfounded, chuckling, "Ha! Are you blaming me now? Because of a dress?"

Fu Hanjiang pondered for a moment, a dark shade crossing his brow.

"I'm just saying if... if Xiangsi hadn't lost her dress, she could have attended the banquet! Then nothing would have happened!"

"So..."

Yao Leyi couldn't believe it, "You blame me?"
