"There were no phone calls at all. I was in a meeting when Shengyi called me. There was only one phone call!"

"Well, then it's a misunderstanding. Don't contact Shengyi for the next few days. I'll go to the manor to see her when I have time."

The little girl suffered such a great injustice, and I didn't even have a chance to comfort her.

Xu Yanshu felt a deep sense of powerlessness. After hanging up the phone, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

This was no ordinary kidnapping. The kidnapper not only knew about the relationship between Shengyi and her, but also calculated that she wouldn't answer the phone at the time, which is why they planned this.

After calming his guilty conscience, Xu Yanshu realized that this matter was unusual, indicating that the mastermind behind it was someone they knew very well.

The timing of Mu Yichen's appearance was far too coincidental... and he vaguely felt that this plot seemed somewhat too familiar.

The image of Zhou Zehao flashed into Xu Yanshu's mind, and his expression immediately turned serious, with a burning anger blazing in his eyes.

For a moment, he couldn't remain calm. He reached for his phone on the table and dialed Zhou Zehao's number directly.

"Hey, it's me!"

Where are you?

"at home!"

Having confirmed the other party's location, Xu Yanshu hung up the phone and drove straight to the Zhou Family Manor.

He stormed into the Zhou family villa, ignoring Zhou Shengyu standing nearby, and grabbed Zhou Zehao by the collar.

"Did you do it?"

Such a self-destructive act is very much in line with Zhou Zehao's unethical personality. Moreover, he and Mu Yichen have known each other for a long time, so it's possible that the two of them conspired together to do this.

Xu Yanshu stared at Zhou Zehao with eyes blazing with fury. He was willing to accept any underhanded tricks or dirty tricks Zhou Zehao might use against him, but he would not tolerate him setting his sights on Shengyi.

A flicker of surprise crossed Zhou Zehao's eyes, and he asked innocently,

"Brother, what are you saying? I don't understand."

He wasn't surprised that Xu Yanshu had so quickly become suspicious of him; it was just that this man always liked to portray himself as a perfect gentleman, and he hadn't expected him to be so reckless in coming to him.

This shows that Xu Yanshu really cares about that woman.

When Zhou Zehao thought about having Mu Yichen find an opportunity to deal with Qin Shengyi, he immediately harbored evil intentions. He thought that Qin Shengyi would probably break down completely by then!

Zhou Shengyu was slightly taken aback, then quickly stepped forward and pulled Xu Yanshu away, "Yanshu, calm down, let's talk things out!"

Zhou Zehao nodded in agreement, "That's right, brother, let's talk about it slowly."

This harmless appearance only fueled Xu Yanshu's anger. He gritted his teeth and said...

"Zhou Zehao, if you have any tricks up your sleeve or any grudges, come at me! But if you dare to even flinch, I will absolutely not let you off the hook!"

After saying that, Xu Yanshu stormed out.

Zhou Shengyu frowned in confusion. Did this mean that Xiao Hao had done something to the Qin family's daughter?

What did you do?

Zhou Zehao helplessly shrugged, completely bewildered. "What can I do?"

"Dad, can't you see? Xu Yanshu is the one causing me trouble now."

But Yan Shu couldn't have come looking for him for no reason.

Zhou Shengyu hesitated, perhaps he should first find out what had happened, otherwise speaking rashly might make him seem biased.

The butler came out of the kitchen alone. "Master, dinner is ready!"

"I have an urgent matter to attend to and need to go out!"

After saying that, Zhou Shengyu hurriedly walked out.

Watching the other person leave, Zhou Zehao curled his lips in a mocking smile, secretly sighing that they really cared a lot!

"Young Master..."

"I also have things to do and need to go out, so I won't eat at home."

...

To avoid arousing Qin Yao's suspicion, Jiang Zhengyu did not go to the Ouyang residence until the afternoon of the following day.

"Yan Shu said he was in a meeting with the project team at the time and his phone was on silent, which is why he didn't answer your call," Jiang Zhengyu relayed truthfully, while raising his eyes to glare at him with annoyance. "And you were far too impulsive this time!"

"You should have told me immediately if you encountered this situation. What if something unexpected happens if you go there?"

No wonder his aunt and uncle were so angry this time. When he heard about it, he was also terrified. After he came to his senses, he was glad that Shengyi was not really in any danger.

When she learned that Yan Shu might be in danger, she couldn't think things through calmly at all, and completely forgot about calling him...

Qin Shengyi muttered to himself, then, sensing something was amiss, he spoke thoughtfully.

"Brother Zhengyu, don't you think things are a bit too coincidental?"

Since the other party was determined to use Brother Yanshu to deceive me, they must have expected that I would ask them for verification immediately. Why did it happen that Xu Yanshu was in a meeting at that time?

Jiang Zhengyu was stunned for a moment, his eyes deepening imperceptibly. So it seemed that things really were a bit strange.

Realizing what he meant, he reached out and patted Qin Shengyi on the shoulder. "Don't overthink it. These things aren't your concern!"

Only now did Jiang Zhengyu vaguely understand why his aunt and uncle opposed Shengyi being with Yan Shu.

If it were any other young master from a respectable and upright family, perhaps this would never have happened... although it seems that Yan Shu is not entirely to blame for this.
