Chapter 278 Su Li’s disappearance is not an accident

"Mom," Zhao Xinran cried, clutching Liu Cui'e's arm like a drowning man grasping at a straw. "What should we do now? I'm so scared..."

"Shao Ting'an can't stay, but we can't push him too far either..."

"And Su Li, she's been staring at me too."

Liu Cui'e looked at her daughter's pale and frightened face, feeling distressed and anxious.

"Don't be afraid, Xinran, mom is here."

"There is always a way out."

"Shao Ting'an is a bomb. We have to find a way to get him to blow up someone else."

The mother and daughter looked at each other in the dim light, and they saw the deep fear in each other's eyes, as well as the ruthlessness and calculation of protecting themselves at any means necessary.

…

The next morning, Fu Jinzhou went to the unit and then went to Lin Aijun's office.

He has been with Su Li these days and has not had the chance to talk to Lin Aijun alone.

Now is a good opportunity.

"Jinzhou, why are you here? Didn't you say you were going back to Qi County today?"

Lin Aijun smiled and said, "We should explain the situation to Wanyi as quickly as possible in the next two days to minimize the harm to her."

Fu Jinzhou nodded, "The wedding is still two months away, there's no need to rush."

"You kid, now you can wait." Lin Aijun looked at him with a smile and said cheerfully, "But we are destined to be together. You are destined to be my son-in-law."

Fu Jinzhou smiled and said, "Uncle Lin, do you have any thoughts about the people who withdrew the case back then?"

Lin Aijun was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Fu Jinzhou to be so perceptive.

"To be honest, I've been looking into this matter recently, but I don't have any ideas yet."

"It's mainly because it's been so long."

Fu Jinzhou pursed his lips slightly, "Who has the most motive?"

Lin Aijun paused for a long moment, wanting to say something but then shook his head. "You don't know what kind of person I am. I've never made any enemies."

Fu Jinzhou noticed the hesitation in his words and said in a deep voice, "Uncle Lin, do you have any concerns?"

Lin Aijun looked at Fu Jinzhou's sharp eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, and sighed in his heart.

This kid is so sharp.

He did have some concerns because there was no evidence. If he just said it casually, he and his wife would probably have been living in lies woven by others all these years.

He was silent, picked up the enamel cup on the table, took a sip of the tea that had already gone cold, trying to hide the turmoil in his heart.

Fu Jinzhou did not urge him, but just looked at him quietly, his eyes calm and firm.

For a moment, the only sound in the office was the ticking of the old wall clock.

After a long time, Lin Aijun put down the cup, making a slight clinking sound.

He seemed to have made up his mind. He raised his head and met Fu Jinzhou's gaze, his voice slightly hoarse.

"Jinzhou, to be honest, I did suspect someone."

"But... there's no evidence, and the other party..."

He didn't continue speaking, but the heaviness of his words was self-evident.

Fu Jinzhou's dark eyes darkened slightly. The fact that this person made Lin Aijun so worried seemed to indicate that he was someone familiar, which was consistent with his guess.

"Uncle Lin!" Fu Jinzhou's voice was deep and powerful. "Only someone we know can do this."

Lin Aijun understood the implication of Fu Jinzhou's words.

"Have you guessed it yet?"

Lin Aijun stared at him for a moment, then quickly shook his head. "Impossible, you don't know at all."

They had never revealed Lin Wanyi's identity to anyone, so Fu Jinzhou had no way of knowing it.

"Uncle Lin, whose child is Wanyi?"

Fu Jinzhou's words gave Lin Aijun a shock. This guy is really amazing.

Lin Aijun was silent for a moment, then said solemnly, "She's the daughter of my driver, Song Changzheng."

Fu Jinzhou's eyes turned colder, "So it's Song Changzheng?"

"I suspected it, but I had no proof. Plus, because of Wan Yi's relationship, I didn't want to make it public until I had proof."

Fu Jinzhou nodded, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone, but we still need to investigate this matter thoroughly. If it's really him, then Su Li's disappearance back then must not have been an accident."

Lin Aijun nodded heavily, "I think so too."

"Uncle Lin, if he knew you found your biological daughter and got married to me, how would he react?"

"Jinzhou, we can't take any risks. If our guess is true, Su Li will be in danger."

Lin Aijun looked at Fu Jinzhou anxiously, not wanting him to act impulsively.

"Don't worry, I won't put Su Li in danger, but truth will come to light sooner or later. They will find out about our marriage."

Lin Aijun had thought about Fu Jinzhou's words, and he had no better solution now.

"Right now, I just want to calm Wanyi down. After all, she's unaware of the situation, and I don't want to hurt her. These two children have been innocently caught up in the dirty thoughts of adults. They are both victims."

"But we can't just sit there and wait for death. After all, it's better to strike first than to be held hostage."

Lin Aijun looked at Fu Jinzhou. This young man had a calmness and courage that was inconsistent with his age.

He knew that Fu Jinzhou was right.

Moreover, at this point, the only person he could fully trust and who was capable of facing this matter with him was Fu Jinzhou.

Fu Jinzhou leaned forward slightly and continued, "Uncle Lin, you didn't let Wanyi know that Su Li and I had obtained the marriage certificate because you wanted to protect her. I understand."

"I feel the pain you feel."

"But, truth will come to light. What should we do if she finds out?"

Fu Jinzhou's eyes became deeper, with a hint of adventure.

Lin Aijun was shocked, his pupils shrinking suddenly. "I can't let Su Li be implicated again. She has suffered too much!"

He stood up suddenly, his voice distorted due to excitement.

Fu Jinzhou understood Lin Aijun's worries. He was silent for a moment, his eyes falling out the window, as if thinking about something.

After a moment, he turned back and his eyes regained their firmness.

"Uncle Lin, I won't put Su Li in danger."

He knew that Fu Jinzhou was not a reckless person, and he must have his considerations and arrangements for saying this.

"Jinzhou, the first thing we need to do is..."

Fu Jinzhou and Lin Aijun talked in the office for a long time, so when they came out, Fu Jinzhou's face looked much heavier.

When he returned home, Su Li had already prepared lunch and was waiting for him.

As soon as I entered the door, I smelled the aroma of food, which was warm and soothing.

Su Li stood up from the dining table, ran towards him like a child, and threw herself into his arms.

"He was quite trustworthy. He said he'd be back before 12:30, and sure enough, he didn't exceed a minute."

Su Li looked up at him, her smile as beautiful and bright as the spring flowers in March!

Fu Jinzhou lowered his eyes and stared at her, an unprecedented sense of happiness swept over his body!
