Chapter 142 Caught

Liang Junchen looked at Shen Xiyi's red eyes, twitched the corners of his lips slightly, and said slowly: "Since you became pregnant."

Shen Xiyi laughed sadly: "This is not protection, it's airtight surveillance."

She really wanted to know, did he treat Wen Chengyu in the same suffocating way?

"They just ensure your safety and won't disturb you." Liang Junchen didn't think he had done anything wrong.

He just wanted to keep his wife and children safe.

"Have you ever monitored Wen Chengyu so closely?" Shen Xiyi asked aggressively, his words laced with sarcasm.

The man was probably angered by these words, and he raised his hand and knocked away the unfinished instant noodles in Shen Xiyi's hand.

The soup spilled all over the floor. Shen Xiyi stared blankly at the instant noodles that had rotted into a puddle on the ground, feeling indescribably depressed.

"The child your aunt gave birth to was weak and sickly. These things are not good for the child, and even less so for you. You can't be like your aunt, only caring about your own happiness and not caring about the child's life or death."

Liang Junchen's words were as sharp as a blade, cutting Shen Xiyi's heart.

She subconsciously covered her heart.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Shen Xiyi's action, Liang Junchen immediately panicked and quickly reached out to support her.

Shen Xiyi shook off his hand: “Aunt’s child is weak and sickly, and he was tortured by your third uncle.”

"My dad is watching you now and can harm you at any time. Do you think I'm joking with you?" Liang Junchen's eyes were also filled with anger.

Shen Xiyi was speechless in rebuttal, she believed that these were all true.

She still couldn't forget Liang Jing's determined look at that time, but she was still very scared. She didn't know what would be her fate as a chess piece in the future.

"Lu Xue, help Madam get into the car. You have to stay at home for the next few days and you are not allowed to go anywhere." Liang Junchen said and turned around to get into the car.

Lu Xue came over to support Shen Xiyi and whispered, "Madam, I recently heard that Mr. Liang had some problems at work, which was quite troublesome. He didn't mean to get angry with you."

Shen Xiyi frowned, but never said anything, and followed Lu Xue's strength to get into the car.

——

Nancheng welcomed the New Year's Eve. It is rare to have such a lively and reunion day throughout the year.

Shen Xiyi sat in the dining room of the South Courtyard waiting for Liang Junchen to come back.

But time passed minute by minute, and by eight o'clock in the evening, Liang Junchen was still nowhere to be seen.

Even Liang Jinsheng, who was just using the restaurant, is not here now.

Shen Xiyi was accompanied only by Shen Simian. In order to get Shen Xiyi to eat more, Shen Simian piled her bowls and plates like a small mountain.

"Aunt, I can't eat so much. Besides, today is the reunion dinner, and we have to wait for people." Shen Xiyi looked at Shen Simian, his eyes and tone were extremely gentle.

"You are pregnant, don't worry about them. Didn't your third uncle say that? You can eat directly when you are hungry. Anyway, there is not many people in the Liang family to reunite with." Shen Simian's attitude towards the Liang family is always ironic.

Sometimes she would express her disgust in front of Liang Jinsheng without any concealment.

"Second uncle isn't coming back either?"

Shen Si Mian twitched the corners of her lips slightly: "When the Liang family is pursuing their own interests, there is no harmony. That Liang Qingsong is only thinking about his own career and doesn't care about the Liang family."

Shen Xiyi and Liang Junchen had been having a bad time these past two days, and it seemed like they were in a cold war.

Hearing Shen Si Mian say this, I felt even more upset.

At this time, Liang Qingsong was sitting in the front hall of the South Courtyard with a cold expression. Liang Jinsheng was looking at him with a serious expression.

"How come they took him away without us having any foreknowledge?"

Liang Qingsong: "Big Brother is known for being ruthless towards his own sons. How could he possibly give you a warning?"

"Second brother, you still can't find out where he is being held?"

Liang Qingsong shook his head: "I just transferred here, and there's no one in the leadership team here who I can confide in. If I want to use connections, it won't work."

Liang Jinsheng took off his glasses and pinched the legs of his glasses with his fingertips.

This was a sign that he was angry.

"I can't even find out why Junchen was arrested?"

Liang Qingsong shook his head, then glanced at the phone on the table and whispered, "It's useless to be angry now. They are just waiting for us to lose our composure. Go and comfort Shen Xiyi first. She is pregnant and can't stand the stimulation."

After saying that, Liang Qingsong stood up and prepared to leave.

Liang Jinsheng sat outside for a long time and almost forgot that there were people waiting for him to eat.

The first one to come out to find him was Chen Simian. When her hand fell on his shoulder, Liang Jinsheng looked up at her in surprise.

"Si Mian?"

"Xiyi has been hungry for a long time. Did Liang Junchen tell me when he will be back?"

Liang Jinsheng held her hand on his shoulder tightly and said in a deep voice: "Junchen won't be back tonight."

Shen Simian: "What do you mean?"

"He was arrested on the way back. We still don't know which unit arrested him and on what charges. This must be a secret operation." Liang Jinsheng never thought that such a thing would happen to him.

Chen Si Mian subconsciously looked back in the direction of the restaurant.

"How could this happen?"

Liang Jinsheng pursed his lips and said nothing for a long time. It was his negligence. He and Liang Junchen both underestimated Liang Jing's determination to come back and cause trouble this time, and even more underestimated the power of the big tree he was holding on to.

"Nothing you say now will help. Let Xiyi finish her meal first, and then you can tell her about this slowly."

Shen Si Mian frowned: "Can't I just not say it?"

"The situation is unclear now, and truth will come to light sooner or later. Rather than letting her suddenly find out from someone else and be devastated, it's better to tell her earlier so she can be mentally prepared."

Shen Simian was silent for a while, but still couldn't bear it.

Liang Jinsheng pulled her forward and looked up at her: "Don't be so nervous, her tolerance is not that bad. Go, I'll wait for you outside."

In the end, Shen Si Mian went back to the restaurant.

Shen Xiyi was drinking soup, and Shen Simian sat down beside her and looked at her for a long time.

"Aunt, I can't get through to Junchen on the phone. Does Third Uncle know when he will be back?" Shen Xiyi couldn't help but call Liang Junchen, but she couldn't get through after calling him several times.

"I'm afraid Liang Junchen won't be able to come back tonight." Shen Simian couldn't find any euphemistic words, so she could only speak more directly.

The spoon in Shen Xiyi's hand fell into the soup bowl. She suddenly looked up, looking confused.

"Aunt, what do you mean he won't be back tonight?"

He wouldn't go into a cold war with her and not go home on New Year's Eve. He's not that childish.

"He was arrested on his way back. Liang Qingsong just came over. If we want to get accurate information, we may have to wait until tomorrow morning."

Shen Xiyi subconsciously gripped the edge of the table. His heartbeat suddenly became unbalanced, and his voice trembled uncontrollably: "How could this happen? Why was he arrested? If he committed a crime, there must be a charge."
