Shen Fangli looked back at Yan Xianjue who was gently squeezing her palm to comfort her under the cover of the table. She slowly shook her head. If a person is disappointed to a certain extent, he will not be disappointed again.
Hiding the photos for fear that she would remember this incident is something her mother would do.
She put the matter aside for the moment, and asked again, "Dad, can you tell me in more detail what happened after you found me?"
It was more than ten years ago. Even if Mr. Shen was very angry about Fang Zhiyuan's behavior at that time, he has almost forgotten it now.
But under Yan Xianjue's burning gaze, he still racked his brains to try to recall.
"When I arrived at the amusement park, there were only three children there, and no adults around," Shen's father thought hard, "I should have wanted to call the police for them before I left, but the two children refused."
"Look at the older one and say he will take care of the younger one."
"I can't remember much more. Actually, I took Lili away very quickly after I found her."
Yan Xianjue said he could understand.
Not to mention that so much time has passed, for Mr. Shen at that time, finding his lost daughter was already scary enough, so how could he have more energy to pay attention to two strange children.
Yan Xianjue thanked him politely: "Thank you, uncle."
Father Shen shook his head: “You’re welcome, I’m not helping much.”
That night, Yan Xianjue stayed at Shen Fangli's house.
While feeding the sheep, Shen's father asked Shen Fangli: "Why did you come back so suddenly today?"
They also sent him a message in advance asking him to wait for them at home.
Shen Fangli sighed: “Alas.”
Who knew they had such interactions with Lin Shi when they were children?
But Father Shen didn’t let her go just because she sighed: “Did he have a fight with his family?”
Shen Fangli was stunned, and seeing her performance, Shen's father took it as an admission.
Remind: "If you don't get involved, it will be difficult to do it if you are caught in the middle."
Shen Fangli nodded with mixed emotions: “I know, he’s just not in a good mood recently.”
"Because of the child in the photo?" Father Shen paused while feeding the sheep and raised his head slightly to look at Shen Fangli.
Shen Fangli: “About the same.”
Father Shen shook his head in disapproval: "Only kids like you have the energy to think about these things all day long. Just let him go back to work for a few days."
Shen Fangli: “…”
Shen Fangli felt that her father's idea was a bit immoral.
She wasn't sure whether Yan Xianjue would get better, but Ji Xi and Lei Xuan were unlikely to get better.
In the guest room on the second floor of the Shen family villa, Yan Xianjue was listening to Ji Xi's phone call.
Ji Xi: "My uncle said that such an incident did happen, but it was suppressed by the Yan family."
"Also, the Yan family didn't call the police at the time, so there shouldn't be any files at the police station."
Yan Xianjue frowned: "You didn't call the police? Then how did Ji Heng know?"
"Yes," Ji Xi said, "The retired Mr. Yan came back out of anger, and of course the Ji family is paying attention."
"He couldn't confirm whether it was a kidnapping, but he told me one thing: the Yan family hired many doctors that year, both Chinese and Western medicine practitioners, both domestic and foreign."
"And after this incident was settled, the Yan family donated a large sum of money to the police station."
Yan Xianjue frowned: "Didn't you call the police? What does it have to do with the police?"
Ji Xi was silent for a moment. "It was supposedly about supporting the military and loving the police, expressing understanding and support for the public security cause, but in reality it was actually criticizing Asami City for its poor public security and high crime rate. It almost made the then Public Security Bureau chief bang his head against the wall."
Yan Xianjue: “…”
It's something his grandfather could do.
"What was the Lin family's reaction at that time?"
Yan Xianjue never asked him to ask the Lin family what their reaction was at the time, but Ji Xi realized from Yan Xianjue's accidental mention of Lin's name that this matter might be related to the Lin family, so he naturally could not ignore it.
"I've inquired about it. The Lin and Ji families were just spectators at the time, at least on the surface."
Yan Xianjue took a deep breath and said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Ji Xi was about to say something polite to say it wasn't hard, but he turned around and swallowed the words back. Considering the intensity of his work over the past few months, there was no need to be polite. This was what he deserved!
With the two pieces of evidence confirming each other, Yan Xianjue felt that he had guessed it roughly.
But he was still planning to find Lin Shi, the person involved, to find out what exactly happened.
Then he found that the person who used to be eager to show his presence in front of him every day was gone.
Yan Xianjue: “…”
Hard, the fist is hard.
Damn it, if Lin Shi wasn’t deliberately avoiding him, he would have ripped his head off and kicked it like a ball.
Shen Fangli blinked: "He can't hide forever."
Yan Xianjue sneered: "You are right."
Just when Shen Fangli wanted to ask when Yan Xianjue planned to go home, the doorbell of the Shen family rang.
Looking at the person brought in by the nanny, Shen Fangli suddenly felt guilty as if she had kidnapped someone else's child.
"Sister Yan Wan." Shen Fangli stood up obediently and greeted her.
Yan Xianjue looked away and snorted heavily.
Yan Wan smiled and nodded at Shen Fangli: “Sorry to bother you, I’m here to take Xianjue home.”
As she spoke, she shifted her gaze from Shen Fangli to look at her teenage brother who had run away from home.
"Are you still angry?" Yan Wan curled her lips, and it was hard to hear her worry in her tone. At least Shen Fangli felt that Yan Wan was clearly here for fun.
In a sense, Yan Wan is indeed, but the fun is not with Yan Xianjue, but with Yan Yian.
Because it was obvious that Yan Xianjue directly put the blame on his eldest brother without asking why.
Yan Wan had no intention of explaining for her elder brother.
Looking at Yan Xianjue like this, she was a little absent-minded and recalled the scene when Yan Xianjue ran away from home at the age of seven.
He was only in the first grade at that time. He ran away from home in anger after being ridiculed by Yan Ci for not doing well in the exam.
But he was afraid that he would really get lost, so he sat on the stone steps of a pavilion not far from Yan's house.
That was the only way for the Yan family to drive home. Yan Xianjue sat there in a small ball, holding his chubby chin with his hands, waiting proudly for people to find him.
Just like now.
Yan Wan's hand landed lightly on Yan Xianjue's head, rubbing it without any reason. "Big brother has been very busy lately. You can settle the score with him when he's free. Now, why don't you go home with your sister?"
Yan Xianjue crossed his arms and didn't respond: "Are you hiding something from me?"
Yan Wan admitted it straightforwardly: "Yes."
Yan Xianjue hadn't responded yet, and Shen Fangli was stunned first.
She was not sure whether the Yan family was going to tell Yan Xianjue everything.
But Yan Wan quickly followed up with the next sentence: "But putting the facts aside, don't you have any responsibility at all?"
Yan Xianjue: “???”
Shen Fangli: “???”
Is Sister Yan Wan sure she is here to take Yan Xianjue home instead of adding fuel to the fire?
