Chapter 155: Bending the Knees
Lin Wenwen didn't expect Fang Hengxi to be so direct in front of Huo Ruen, she glanced at him, wanted to take a look, and said, "No, I'm just going to pick up someone, and the driver will send me over." ā
Fang Hengxi had no room for negotiation, walked to the door and changed his shoes.
In this way, Lin Wenwen couldn't say anything, so he had to follow hard.
Fang Yu sent them to the door, "Come back quickly." ā
"Got it. ā
He waved goodbye at them.
The door closed, Lin Wenwen smiled, stood behind him, and waited for the elevator to come up.
The two didn't speak, and for a moment, with a dinging sound, the elevator opened, and the two went in one after another.
Fang Hengxi tilted his head slightly, and glanced at her, "Who are you going to pick up at the police station?"
"Nuan called me and said that it was a little girl who was abandoned by her mother, and asked me to take her home and wait for news, and I was not very worried about leaving people at the police station. She told the truth.
"You're ready to adopt?"
"It's just for the time being, I didn't say I want to raise it. ā
Fang Hengxi chuckled, "It's all abandoned, do you still expect her to come back and take the child?"
Lin Wenwen did not argue with him.
Fang Hengxi drove by herself, Lin Wenwen sat in the back seat, looked out the window sideways, and regarded him as Lao Wang, that is, the driver who drove for her.
"Do you want to eat shrimp?" Fang Hengxi broke the silence first, "Just now Mother Zhou said that you wanted to eat it recently, but she forgot to buy it." ā
Her eyes moved, but she didn't respond, her gaze still falling outside.
"Then drop by and buy it. He waited for a while, and when she didn't respond, he took matters into his own hands.
She frowned, thinking that he would do what he said, so she wouldn't bother to talk to him.
Isn't it okay not to speak?
The car turned around in front and went to the supermarket to buy prawns first.
Fang Hengxi parked the car and beckoned her to get out of the car.
Lin Wenwen was reluctant, sat in the car and didn't move, the window was half lowered, looked at him, and said, "You go, I'll wait for you here." ā
He ignored it, opened the car door directly, and pulled her out of the car, "Let's see if there's anything else you want to eat." ā
"You're doing this, aren't you afraid that Miss Huo will be suspicious?"
He smiled, "Care about me?"
"I just don't want to be implicated in this. ā
"No, it won't. He pulled her to his side and closed the door.
He took her hand and didn't let go, so he took her into the supermarket.
At this point, there are quite a lot of people in the market, they went to the seafood area, Fang Hengxi swept his eyes, found the shrimp stall, took a look at the varieties, and selected them personally.
Lin Wenwen had never seen Fang Hengxi's side like this, she stood next to him silently watching him choose shrimp, and bargained with the boss.
is so life-like, so that Lin Wenwen is a little uncomfortable.
After buying the shrimp, he took her to the meat section again, picked a little beef, and looked at the vegetables.
The two of them are like an ordinary sweet little couple who come out to buy groceries, but the expensive clothes he wears are so incompatible with here.
Lin Wenwen said: "I can't see it, you are quite homely, Miss Huo is so blessed." In the future, you'll cook for her yourself, right?"
He glanced at her, "Jealous?"
"What vinegar tastes like, I don't remember it since I broke up with Liang Chun. ā
He chuckled and said, "You'll find out later." ā
Lin Wen was annoyed by his confident and determined appearance, she suppressed the boredom in her heart, maintained an indifferent smile, and followed him.
I bought it almost, and the two of them got out of the supermarket and drove to the police station.
When I arrived at the police station, twilight fell and the lights were on.
As soon as I entered, I heard a little girl crying in the hallway.
Lin Wenwen glanced at it, it was exactly what Wen Wen described, she walked over quickly, squatted down in front of the little girl, took out a lollipop from her pocket, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my sister is late, I should have come to pick you up early." ā
The little girl paused, glanced at her, and didn't recognize, "I don't know you." ā
"Yes, of course you don't know me, but you know Sister Nuan, right? I'm Sister Nuan's sister, and if she has something, she will entrust me to pick you up and wait for news from my mother. ā
Hearing the word warmth, she finally calmed down a little.
Lin Nuan said a lot to her before leaving, and she remembered that she stayed here obediently and didn't cause trouble to the police uncle. But when it got dark outside, she was homesick and missed her mother, so she couldn't help crying.
Lin Wenwen accompanied the child here, Fang Hengxi went to register, and after briefly asking about the situation, they left the police station with Mu Tong.
Mu Tong is very beautiful, with big eyes and a small mouth, like a doll.
At this moment, tears are in my eyes, and it is pitiful.
How much hatred does this mother have to be to abandon such a lovely child.
Lin Wenwen thought that there were no children's clothes at home, so he asked Fang Hengxi to take a detour to the mall, buy a few clothes for Mu Tong, and buy some daily necessities.
I don't know how long I'm going to live at home, but I always have to be ready. When the time comes, let her sleep with herself and let Fang Yu sleep in the guest room. Thinking about it like this, she felt that Mu Tong's arrival was really great.
She didn't want to face Fang Yu now, but Fang Hengxi was much easier to deal with.
After all, the two have been together for so many years, and this person's mind can be touched a little. But what about Fang Yu? She didn't know anything about him.
The three of them entered the mall and went straight to the children's clothing area. Mu Tong was not in a good mood, but in the face of Lin Wenwen and Fang Hengxi, he still worked hard to deal with it, and chose clothes very cooperatively.
After buying everything up, they went home.
It was half past seven when I got home.
Fang Yu had already eaten two small snacks, and he was almost full.
Zhou's mother came out to greet Huo Ruan En when she prepared the dishes, chatted with her, and talked about Fang Hengxi's previous affairs, emphasizing several times that Fang Hengxi had always been very good with Fang Yu, and after he had a car accident and broke his brain, he took care of him even more.
This also indirectly explains that Fang Hengxi's move is just a habitual care, and has no other meaning.
She explained at a very high level, not letting people perceive that she was explaining, and it was convincing, so as to eliminate the worries in her heart, and she was not an old man.
There was movement at the door, Huo Ruan En put down the teacup and looked over.
Zhou's mother also turned her head, then stood up and walked over.
The door was pushed open, and Lin Wenwen pulled Mu Tong into the house.
Catching up with so many eyes at once, Mu Tong was a little scared.
She subconsciously hid behind Lin Wenwen, looked at them fixedly with a pair of big eyes, and reluctantly pulled the corners of her mouth.
Lin Wenwen put one hand on her shoulder, and then squatted down and introduced people to Mu Tong.
According to Lin Wenwen's words, she called people one by one, but she was very well-behaved.
Fang Hengxi handed the vegetables he bought to Zhou's mother, "If there are more children, let's add a few dishes." ā
Zhou's mother glanced at it briefly, found that there were prawns, smiled, and said, "Okay, then I'll do it immediately, if you're hungry, there are pastries on the table, you can eat a little first, pad your stomach, don't be hungry." Especially warm, you can't go hungry. ā
"Got it. ā
Lin Wenwen took Mu Tong into the room to wash his face and change his clothes by the way.
Fang Yu followed behind his buttocks, and when he pretended to be a fool, he played well with the children and could make the children happy.
He was so enthusiastic that Mu Tong quickly let down his guard against him and would interact with him.
After Lin Wenwen finished scrubbing her and asked Fang Yu to accompany her, she took a few sets of clothes she bought back, and went to the balcony to wash and dry the clothes first, so that she could wear them directly when the time came.
When it was finished, Fang Yu had already taken Mu Tong to the living room, sat on the sofa, and brought her fruits and snacks to eat.
Huo Ruan En also seems to like children, kneeling beside Mu Tong, interacting with her friendly, she has a kind face, so she has a strong affinity.
She didn't go over, but went straight to the kitchen, ready to give Zhou's mother a start.
When I went in, Zhou's mother was cleaning the prawns.
"How do you need help?" she said, rolling up her sleeves.
"No, I'm almost ready, just this prawn needs to be washed. Originally, it was all arranged, but since you bought it back, I will arrange it for you, and I was going to do it for you today, but I forgot about it. But fortunately, my uncle had a mind and bought it back by the way. You're finally able to eat. ā
Lin Wenwen chuckled in her heart, Zhou's mother couldn't hear anything wrong with this, and her tone and expression were normal. That's the case, it's the most powerful.
"I asked me to buy it, anyway, by the way, my uncle fulfilled my wish. She responded with a smile, seemingly very happy and calm.
Zhou's mother glanced at it and said with a smile: "This uncle just puts too much effort into Xiaoyu, and now that he has a daughter-in-law, if he does this again, I'm afraid he will be disliked by his daughter-in-law." ā
"However, I think Miss Huo is also generous, and maybe in the future, like my uncle, I will take care of you with more thoughts. But being a man is also to be more interesting, if you can not be troublesome, try not to trouble, in the final analysis, after getting married, it is a matter of two families, if there is any dislike, bad feelings, it is not good. Do you say?"
"Yes. Lin Wenwen nodded, "I won't trouble others in the future." ā
Mother Zhou smiled, "There are some things that have nothing to do with you, my uncle is used to it, and now that you are pregnant, you have to take care of everything to feel at ease." ā
"Oh, you think I'm a kid. Actually, I'm quite capable. ā
Zhou's mother washed her hands, patted her lightly on the back, and then pushed her to the door, "Go to the living room and wait for the meal, you are in the way here, and it will affect my speed, and I will be able to eat in half an hour." ā
With that, the kitchen door closed right in front of her eyes.
Lin Wenwen returned to the living room, Huo Ruan En had already had a hot fight with Mu Tong, and Xiao Mu Tong temporarily forgot the sadness of not being able to find her mother, and played finger games with Huo Ruan En.
Lin Wenwen sat down, and Fang Yu handed over the remaining two pastries, "Wife and sister, are you hungry?"
"If you're not hungry, if you're hungry, eat yourself. She pushed the plate back.
"Then you're welcome. ā
Fang Yu began to eat, he was really handy at pretending to be stupid, and his acting skills were also amazing. There was really no trace, and if he hadn't been exposed in front of her, she would never have noticed the abnormality.
The atmosphere in the hut was very harmonious and joyful on the surface, but Lin Wenwen felt that such an atmosphere was really weird, and probably only Mu Tong was the only one who showed his sincerity on his face.
Half an hour later, the meal was served, and it was naturally a very warm dinner.
After the meal, Huo Ruan En and Fang Hengxi didn't stay long, and after sitting for a while, they went back, Huo Ruan En was still a little reluctant, and made an appointment with Mu Tong to come back to her tomorrow.
After sending them away, Lin Wenwen took Mu Tong to take a bath, changed into clean clothes, and coaxed her to sleep.
Mu Tong asked, "Uncle police can find my mother tomorrow, right?"
"You should be able to, trust the police uncle to find your mother. ā
Her clear eyes looked at her, "I heard the police uncle say that my mother doesn't want me anymore, right?"
She didn't cry, just asked very calmly.
Lin Wenwen, who asked, chuckled in her heart, then laughed and said, "How come, in this world, there will not be a mother who is willing to abandon her child." You're so cute, and your mother won't leave you alone. ā
"Really?"
"Of course it's true. She touched her head and said, "Sleep, good girl, and close your little eyes." ā
She made a gesture of closing her eyes, and when she opened them again, Mu Tong obediently closed her eyes.
Lin Wenwen stayed by her side for a while, and only after making sure that she was asleep did she leave the room lightly.
Zhou's mother had finished cleaning and was ready to go to bed, Fang Yu seemed to be in the living room, she went to the balcony to call Lin Nuan, explain Mu Tong's matter, and then talk about Lin Jingcheng's matter.
When the call came, Lin Nuan had already finished taking a shower and was lying on the bed, ready to sleep.
Because of Mu Tong's affairs, they and Sheng Jiren's brothers and sisters acted separately.
I don't know if Sheng Jiren is really a sister control, so conniving, or a test. But no matter what the reason is, for the current Lin Nuan, anything can be done, she doesn't expect anything, she doesn't desire anything, and nothing can shake her.
After she and Cen Jinghuai dealt with Mu Tong's matter, they went back to Sheng Jiren's villa, and between the two, to the point where they were now, there was nothing to say.
She didn't want to disturb his plans, and she no longer fantasized that he might be disguised, or that there was something unspeakable. She also felt very tired, no matter what, she didn't want to participate at all.
"It's okay for her to be on your side, but I don't know if her own mother can find it, if she can't find it, it's hard to do. ā
"If you can't find it, just adopt it according to the normal process, you can rest assured, I will handle it." There is another thing, Lin Jingcheng woke up, but Shi Wenyue was gone. ā
"Really?" she wasn't interested in it, and she didn't care.
Lin Wenwen heard her abnormality, "What's wrong with you?"
"No, I'm just a little tired. ā
"Alright then, you get off early. Lin Wenwen saw that she was not in a high mood, so she didn't mention it again.
After a few more instructions, he hung up the phone.
Not long after the phone hung up, Lu Zhengshen's message came in.
The eavesdropper changed owners, and Lu Zhengshen naturally couldn't hide it for long.
What was sent was nothing else, it was a photo of Zhinan and Yulin, two photos, one was smiling happily, and the other was full of horror. Lin Nuan's heart, which was originally like ashes, was suddenly provoked.
She immediately called, but the other party did not answer, and hung up her phone directly. She fights again, hangs again.
She clenched her phone, took a deep breath, slowly calmed down, and began typing.
[Don't hurt them, what do you want me to do, just say, I will do it!]
After a while, Lu Zhengshen came back, [You know, what I want you to do. ć
Lu Zhengshen was very confident, he didn't care if the bugging device was on her body, as long as the two children were in his hands, Lin Nuan couldn't escape from the palm of his hand.
He put away his phone, then pushed the car door and entered the unfinished building.
It was dark inside, there were no lights, only a faint light on the middle floor, and there were people on this floor.
He slowly went up, humming a little song in his mouth.
In the blink of an eye, he reached the tenth floor, and he has always been exercising, so this amount of exercise is of little significance to him.
āAć ā
There were several people standing all over the floor, uniformly dressed, and when they saw him, they shouted in unison.
Because it was a successful finish, only one structure was built, and the area of the whole floor was not small, only a few load-bearing walls, there was nothing to cover, and you could see all of them at a glance.
In the huge space, there is a sofa and a table, and there is a person lying on the sofa, who has not yet woken up.
His hands and feet were tied, and his face was covered with a black cloth.
He walked over and stood on the edge of the table, propped up with one hand, and gently tapped the tabletop, "Wake up." ā
Then, the hood was removed, a thin needle went down, and the person immediately woke up.
The screams in this empty and unfinished building are particularly weird.
Lu Zhengshen squatted down and looked at her with a smile, waiting for her to finish screaming and be able to speak normally and calmly.
After a while, he raised his hand and greeted her, "Miss Shi, okay." ā
Shi Wenyue's eyes widened, when she was knocked out in the hospital, she thought it was Tan Yuehua's order, she had no psychological burden, and even when she was in a coma, she could still have a sweet dream.
However, when she woke up from the piercing pain, she sensed danger.
It's just that she didn't expect it to be Lu Zhengshen.
"You, why are you arresting me? What do you want to do?"
Lu Zhengshen laughed and said, "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you, I just want to know, how much strength you have behind this, and see how long it will take your mother to find here." ā
"I really didn't expect that the post on the dark web was made by you. ā
Shi Wenyue: "You want to threaten my mother with me?"
"No, no, no, I just want to have a friendly cooperation with your mother. ā
She quickly glanced around, saw the people standing behind him, and saw their clothes, and felt a little strange.
How could it be the same as the clothes of her mother's group? It's just that the neckline is the color and the number.
Could it be that they are behind the same scenes?
In the face of this kind of scene, she didn't panic, after all, she had encountered more dangerous scenes with Lin Jingcheng before, and now in this situation, with Tan Yuehua's identity pressing, Lu Zhengshen would not do anything to her.
Shi Wenyue lifted her bound feet, "This is your hospitality?"
Her hands were cut behind her back, the rope was tied so tightly that her wrists were bleeding.
Lu Zhengshen looked at her for a long time, and then motioned for someone to help her untie the rope, he arranged a lot of people nearby, but he was not afraid that Tan Yuehua's people would come to save people.
Untied, Shi Wenyue rubbed her wrist, her skin was scratched a little, and it hurt a little.
"I haven't eaten rice and water until now, you want to starve me to death? If I die, I'm afraid you'll be finished. ā
"What do you want to eat?"
She thought for a moment, "Cantonese food." ā
"It's quite demanding. ā
"I'm a very important bargaining chip for you to come to me, and important people should always be entertained first-class, right? If you make me unhappy, even if my mother agrees to your request, I can make her regret it, and retaliate against you, leaving you with nothing and no life. ā
She said this leisurely.
Lu Zhengshen raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect that Shi Wenyue was not only not panicked or afraid, but even so rigid.
He walked up to her and looked at her condescendingly.
Not to be outdone, Shi Wenyue looked up at his gaze, she smiled and said, "Don't think that you are a crazy person and can treat anyone indiscriminately, so you are not afraid of anything." However, I also have my own way to drive my mom crazy. Women are crazy, but you men are much more ruthless, you weigh it yourself. ā
"Moreover, with the methods of a villain like you, sooner or later there will be retribution. As she spoke, she stood up, straightened her clothes, and smiled with a friendly smile, "How about it, which Cantonese food in Haicheng is more delicious?"
Lu Zhengshen's expression remained unchanged, with one hand behind his back, slightly clenched into a fist.
Not to mention, Tan Yuehua's bottom, he hasn't figured it out yet, and he really doesn't dare to act rashly.
However, he couldn't allow Shi Wenyue to show off his might in front of him.
He squinted, slowly approached, stopped in her ear, and whispered, "I heard that Lin Jingcheng woke up." ā
She was stunned for a moment, and pursed her lower lip slightly, not revealing too much abnormality.
"Oh, it's so popular now, what do you say will happen if you break out and hook up with a married woman?"
Her brow furrowed imperceptibly, and a chill appeared in her eyes.
She snorted, "It seems that Mr. Lu is still not willing to take me to eat Cantonese food, and just wants to send a lunch box, right?"
"Of course not, I just want to tell you that I'm a person who eats soft rather than hard. As you say, I'm a madman, I'm not afraid of anything, not even death, you know?"
He laughed softly, he had no worries, no weakness, and nothing could hold him.
But they have people, people they care about, and things they care about, so they must have some concerns.
ā¦ā¦
With a phone call, Lin Nuan couldn't sleep. She sat on the bed, her whole body couldn't stop trembling, she couldn't imagine what the two children had suffered, they were just children, what could they know?
She held her phone tightly, and after a long time, she climbed out of bed, ready to go to Cen Jinghuai.
What Lu Zhengshen wants is to destroy the relationship between Cen Jinghuai and Sheng Jiren, as long as the relationship between the two of them completely deteriorates, and she is entangled by Cen Jinghuai's side to sabotage his plan, so that Lu Zhengshen will be happy, so that the two children can live in peace.
She gripped the doorknob, hesitated for three seconds, and pulled the door open.
However, the door was only opened by a crack, and a voice came in from outside.
It was Cen Jinghuai's voice.
"Brother Sheng, I have something I want to tell you. ā
Sheng Jiren: "What's the matter?"
"Let's go into the study. His eyes were down, and his voice was heavy.
Sheng Jiren raised his eyebrows, "It can be said here, no one, right?"
Lin Nuan quickly closed the door, trying not to let them see it, she put her ear to the crack of the door and listened carefully.
Cen Jinghuai raised his eyes and glanced at him, thought for a while, and said, "Okay, then say it here." ā
Sheng Jiren moved his steps, stood facing him, and took out a cigarette from his pocket, "Time for a cigarette." ā
With a click, he turned on the lighter and slowly lit the cigarette.
Cen Jinghuai took a slight breath in his heart, and raised his eyes again, his gaze was firm and meaningless.
He took a step back, and in the blink of an eye, he bent his knees and knelt directly in front of Sheng Jiren.
Because there was too much silence outside, Lin Nuan was a little curious, so he secretly opened the door, revealing a gap, and looked out.
I just saw Cen Jinghuai kneeling down.
She was startled, and then she heard him speak, "Please send Lin Nuan out of here, send her to a safe place, and protect her." When Lu Zhengshen's matter is resolved, my life is yours, and I will do whatever you ask me to do, I will never say anything. As long as you can help me save Lin Nuan's life and send her to a safe place, I can do anything. ā
Sheng Jiren looked at him, lost his mind for a moment, and soon returned to his normal color, smiled lightly, bent over and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't pretend?"
"I don't want her to know about this, and I don't need her to know everything I said today. ā
Sheng Jiren turned her head and looked in the direction of Lin Nuan, and she subconsciously closed the door quickly.
Standing upright, one hand gripping the doorknob tightly, his heart beating a little fast.
Sheng Jiren seemed to see her, but he didn't seem to see her.
She couldn't tell how she felt at the moment, but she had never seen Cen Jinghuai bend over, and she didn't feel to anyone. His bones are so hard, how can he grovel to people?
But why did he bend his knee to Sheng Jiren?
