Chapter 177: Return Her to Me
Fu Hanjiang stiffened, "Speak quickly!"
"..." Rong Zheng hesitated, "They found the taxi."
"And Xiangsi?"
Well...
Rong Zheng shook his head, "No news yet..."
Instantly, Fu Hanjiang flew into a rage, "You call that news?"
"..." Rong Zheng lowered his head in shame, not daring to argue.
But Zhong Pei, who had been listening, caught on to the critical information, "Xiangsi is missing?!"
So, Fu Hanjiang came here looking for Xiangsi?
Fu Hanjiang noted Zhong Pei's reaction and could tell Xiangsi wasn't here.
"Rong Zheng, let's go."
"Yes, Second Master."
"Wait!"
But how could Zhong Pei just let him go? He grabbed Fu Hanjiang's shoulder, "Explain yourself. How did Xiangsi go missing?"
Seeing how desperately they were looking for her, and recalling the fight he had with Fu Hanjiang earlier that morning...
Zhong Pei's fury boiled over, overriding any sense of decorum, "Fu Hanjiang! Did you bully Xiangsi? Did you hit her?"
"..."
Fu Hanjiang froze, not denying it.
Though he hadn't hit Xiangsi, he had indeed bullied her! He had to admit, what he did to her was no better than hitting her!
"You!"
Seeing Fu Hanjiang's reaction, Zhong Pei assumed he was admitting it.
"Bastard!"
Zhong Pei grabbed Fu Hanjiang's collar, his blood boiling with rage, "Are you even a man, hitting Xiangsi?"
With that, he raised his fist and punched Fu Hanjiang.
"Second Master!"
Fu Hanjiang didn't dodge, taking the punch head-on. Zhong Pei's punch was strong, splitting Fu Hanjiang's lip, blood oozing out.
Rong Zheng, startled, rushed forward to pull Zhong Pei away. "Young Master Zhong, calm down!"
But Zhong Pei couldn't calm down.
"Let go of me!"
Rong Zheng held onto him, preventing him from getting any closer to Fu Hanjiang due to his injuries.
Glaring, Zhong Pei accused, "You hit her? How could you? How could you bear to hit her?"
She was the girl he cherished in his heart, someone he couldn't even bring himself to scold, even though she hadn't chosen him in the end!
Ha.
Fu Hanjiang wiped the blood from his mouth with his fingers.
He grabbed Zhong Pei's collar with one hand, "If it weren't for you and your persistent meddling, would we have fought?"
"!"
Zhong Pei was stunned, then burst into laughter, "Ha ha..."
Laughing, his eyes reddened, "Fu Hanjiang, should I say you don't trust Xiangsi or you lack self-confidence?"
What did he mean?
Zhong Pei suddenly stopped laughing, "Last night, Xiangsi fell off her bike and hit her head. I took her to the hospital! I stayed with her all night! Don't believe me? Check with the hospital, see if I'm lying!"
He glared at him, "If you can't treat her well, give her back to me!"
"In your dreams!"
Fu Hanjiang released his hold, laughing coldly, his eyes like frost, "Forget it, she was mine in the past, she's mine now, and in the future... she will only be mine!"
With that, he turned and left.
"Fu Hanjiang, you bastard! What kind of man are you?"
Once outside, in the car, Rong Zheng received another call. After hanging up, his face turned grim.
"Alright, I understand."
After hanging up, he looked at Fu Hanjiang with a conflicted expression.
Fu Hanjiang was in no mood for nonsense, "Spit it out!"
"Yes!" Rong Zheng, startled, blurted out, "The taxi driver... he just got out of prison."
Prison?
A convict?
His scalp tingling, Fu Hanjiang's headache intensified.
Fire sparked in his eyes, "What crime?"
"Uh... rape."
As soon as the words left his mouth, Rong Zheng swallowed hard, feeling a chilling aura emanate from Fu Hanjiang, engulfing him.
Fu Hanjiang, expressionless, clenched his jaw.
Suddenly, he barked, "Where is he?"
"He returned the car, still searching."
"Hurry!"
"Yes!"
Fu Hanjiang rubbed his temples, the veins on his forehead bulging, each one distinct... the situation had escalated.
"Rong Zheng, call the police."
But...
Rong Zheng hesitated, "Second Master, I'm afraid the police won't take the case."
A fierce glint flashed in Fu Hanjiang's eyes, "Do I need to teach you how to do your job? You're a pretty relaxed assistant, huh?"
"Yes!"
Rong Zheng straightened up, not daring to speak further.
Under normal circumstances, the police wouldn't accept the case. The Second Master obviously meant to pull some strings. However, he wondered if the Second Master was overreacting.
Xiangsi was a mature, mentally healthy adult who had left the house of her own accord, and it hadn't even been 12 hours since she went missing.
Rong Zheng picked up his phone and made the arrangements.
Putting down his phone, he glanced at the rearview mirror, "Second Master."
"Now what?"
Under pressure, Rong Zheng pointed behind them, "Um... Young Master Zhong seems to be following us."
"?"
Fu Hanjiang snapped his eyes open, looking into the rearview mirror. Indeed... Zhong Pei's silver-grey Pagani was trailing them!
...
The commotion of Fu Hanjiang searching for Sheng Xiangsi had reached the Fu residence.
When he walked in, Yao Leyi was going over this month's accounts—she had been managing the household affairs for years.
After signing, she handed the papers to Aunt Lin.
"That's all, go ahead with the payment."
"Yes, Miss Yao."
In the living room, the atmosphere was tense.
"Oh dear." Fu Mingzhu held her head, pointing at Fu Hanjiang, "Look at you, you've just made up! If anything happens to Xiangsi, I won't forgive you!"
Fu Hanjiang didn't argue, turning to Fu Hanchuan, "Big brother, I'm here to ask for Qi Si's help."
Fu Hanchuan's face was also grim, nodding slowly. "Alright."
Though Fu Hanchuan had been in a coma for years, Qi Si had continued to work diligently. Qi Si was someone Fu Hanchuan had saved.
When he was brought back, he was on the brink of death.
In the underworld, no one was more knowledgeable than Qi Si.
"Thank you, big brother."
Fu Hanjiang stood to leave.
"Where are you going?" Fu Mingzhu grabbed him, "You've already made the arrangements, don't wander around!"
"Grandmother, I can't sit still."
"Sit down!"
Surprisingly, it was Fu Hanchuan who spoke.
Everyone was stunned, looking at him. Fu Hanchuan's face was dark, barely holding back his anger, "Now you know how to worry?"
"Big brother..." Fu Hanjiang lowered his head in silence.
"Hmph." Fu Hanchuan sneered, "Is this what I taught you?" He paused before spitting out six words.
"A complete mess!"
Instantly, the normally eloquent Fu Hanjiang was speechless. Yes, he had indeed made a mess of things!
Fu Mingzhu and Yao Leyi exchanged glances, saying nothing.
Yao Leyi just watched Fu Hanchuan, her heart aching... This was the first time he had lost his temper since waking up.
And it was directed at his most beloved brother!
Was it because of Sheng Xiangsi?
Was he also anxiously worried about her, worrying himself sick?!
