Chapter 298 She had already prepared a way out.
North City.
The day after Shen Qingshu disappeared, Wen Jingxi planned to report it to the police, but Song Lanyin arrived at the police station just as he arrived.
The moment Wen Jingxi got out of the car, Song Lanyin suddenly pounced on him and pulled him back into the car.
The car door slammed shut.
Wen Jingxi roared angrily, "Song Lanyin, are you sick! Get off me!"
Song Lanyin's posture was somewhat awkward at this moment, with one foot on the center console and the other on the ground next to the car door, and Wen Jingxi's two long legs between them...
Well, that was a really unexpected move.
No matter how spacious a Land Rover is, two adults can't fit in the driver's seat alone.
This ambiguous posture infuriated Wen Jingxi.
The man's handsome face flushed instantly.
Song Lanyin hadn't meant anything by it, but seeing Wen Jingxi's reaction, she suddenly became interested.
She slowly moved her hands up from the man's shoulders, eventually encircling his neck.
"Oh, is Teacher Wen shy?"
Wen Jingxi: "..."
"I didn't expect Teacher Wen to be so innocent!" Song Lanyin lightly brushed her fingertips across the man's cheek, tracing his perfect jawline. "You've never even had a girlfriend, have you?"
Wen Jingxi gritted his teeth: "Get out!"
"Get out? How do I get out?"
Wen Jingxi glared at her.
Song Lanyin smiled, her beautiful eyebrows arching slightly. "Teacher Wen is 28 years old too, that shouldn't be the case..."
Her fingertips moved down little by little, almost touching the man's sexy, protruding Adam's apple, when suddenly, a large hand grabbed the woman's wrist!
Wen Jingxi's face darkened. "Song Lanyin, if you keep acting recklessly, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Song Lanyin wasn't afraid at all, and even blinked expectantly, "How is Teacher Wen going to treat me rudely?"
Wen Jingxi: "...Don't think that just because you're a woman I'll give in to you!"
"I don't need Teacher Wen to give in. If we were to fight, Teacher Wen might not be able to beat me."
Wen Jingxi glared at her, his eyes blazing with anger, "Song Lanyin, are you sick in the head?!"
"Alright!" Seeing that Wen Jingxi was really about to get angry, Song Lanyin stopped acting nonchalant, pulled her leg back, stepped to the passenger seat, and sat down neatly.
Turning her head, she looked at her hand still being held by Wen Jingxi, "Aren't you going to let go? You don't want to part with me?"
Upon hearing this, Wen Jingxi immediately let go.
"Get out of my car!" Wen Jingxi shouted angrily, urging the man to leave.
"I'm sorry, I can't leave." Song Lanyin looked at him and gave him a warm reminder, "Besides, Teacher Wen might need to face me every day for a while in the future!"
Wen Jingxi glared at her, "Song Lanyin, are you ever going to stop? Fu Siyan is dead, nobody needs you here anymore, please just disappear politely, okay?!"
“Who said no one needs me?” Song Lanyin raised an eyebrow at him. “Chen Qingshu needs me, and the two children need me too.”
Upon hearing this, Wen Jingxi paused, "What did you say?"
Song Lanyin put away her joke and said seriously, "I know that Shen Qingshu has gone missing."
"How did you know?" Wen Jingxi stared at her. "Could it be that A-Shu's disappearance is related to you?"
"Although I'm not some great philanthropist, I'm not that despicable, am I?" Song Lanyin put on an exaggerated expression of disappointment and sadness. "Teacher Wen, you've made me so sad."
Wen Jingxi raised his hand and pinched the space between his eyebrows; he was really tired.
"Song Lanyin, please be serious. I don't have time to waste with you right now."
Upon hearing this, Song Lanyin sighed, "Don't call the police. This matter involves some special circumstances. Calling the police won't help at all and will only drag you into it."
"Ah Shu has disappeared. If I don't call the police, am I supposed to just wait for her to come home on her own?"
"Shen Qingshu was taken away by Jin Que, and they are both in N country now."
Wen Jingxi paused, looking at Song Lanyin with a scrutinizing gaze, "How did you know?"
“Chen Qingshu contacted me privately before.”
Wen Jingxi was extremely surprised, "A-Shu contacted you on her own initiative?"
“That’s right,” Song Lanyin said. “She said Jin Que is a bit paranoid right now. She’s encountered some things recently, and she feels that Jin Que won’t let her off easily. So, she paid me to come back and help you protect the two children.”
"What do you mean?" Wen Jingxi asked anxiously, "You mean A-Shu knows she's about to be in danger?"
Song Lanyin nodded, "Ever since Jin Que gave her that bag of hawthorn candy, A Shu has been on guard against Jin Que. She knows that Jin Que might hold a grudge against the two children because of Fu Siyan, so she thought that if the two children could be safe, she was willing to risk her life."
"What do you mean by 'risking one's life'?" Wen Jingxi's eyes immediately turned red with anger. "Has A-Shu gone mad? What is she trying to do?"
“She has her own plans. Now all you have to do is cooperate with me. Jin Que’s people have been monitoring the two children. We must find a way to move the children to a safe place first.”
Wen Jingxi asked, "What happens after the child is moved?"
“With the child’s safety guaranteed, Shen Qingshu will have no more worries.” Song Lanyin paused, her expression darkening. “She can then completely sever ties with Jin Que.”
Wen Jingxi sensed something unspoken in Song Lanyin's words.
"What exactly is A-Shu trying to do..." Wen Jingxi lowered his head. "She's really becoming more and more capable. She made such a big decision all by herself without saying a word. Doesn't she think about what will happen to the two children if something happens to her?"
"Teacher Wen, I know you're worried, but don't worry, we've already sent people here. Once the child's safety is absolutely guaranteed, they will take action."
Song Lanyin looked at Wen Jingxi and said, "Right now, protecting the two children is the most important thing. This is also the task that Shen Qingshu entrusted to me. Of course, she also said that she needs your help. Since she is not here, you are the person the children trust and rely on the most."
Wen Jingxi's eyes were red as he gripped the steering wheel tightly. "I've been too good to the child, which is why Ashu made such a cruel decision..."
Upon hearing this, Song Lanyin pursed her lips.
Shen Qingshu's last few words were something she didn't plan to tell Wen Jingxi for the time being.
She was afraid that this kind man wouldn't be able to handle it.
She only said, "Shen Qingshu is not telling you because she is protecting you."
...
Shen Qingshu was taken to the Holy Capital Manor and stayed there for seven whole days.
During these seven days, Shen Qingshu was required to drink a bowl of medicinal food every day.
Jin Que would come back every day, and each time he would only watch Shen Qingshu drink that bowl of medicinal food.
Shen Qingshu would fall into a deep sleep after each medicinal meal, but her body would feel normal when she woke up the next day.
If she hadn't been kidnapped and imprisoned, Shen Qingshu would have thought that the medicinal diet was simply to help her regulate her body.
Despite Jin Que's repeated insistence that the medicinal diet was truly beneficial to her health, Shen Qingshu still did not believe it.
On the eighth day, the medicinal diet was changed.
Looking at the large bowl of dark and bitter medicinal food, Shen Qingshu couldn't bring herself to eat it.
Jin Que handed her the bowl of dark and bitter medicinal food, saying, "A-Shu, you've learned to lie too."
Shen Qingshu tensed up, but continued to play dumb, "What did I lie to you about?"
“The two children have been taken away and hidden.” Jin Que said, his eyes turning sinister. “You’ve been wary of me all along, A-Shu. You’ve disappointed me once again.”
As he spoke, he took a step forward. "So, this time I'm going to punish you."
