A Guilty Conscience (Part 1)



A Guilty Conscience (Part 1)

"Boom boom boom! Boom boom boom!"

There was a rapid banging on the door.

Fu Shiyuan got up and opened the door, feeling strange. This was at home, not a hotel, so why was someone knocking on his door in the middle of the night?

He opened the door and saw Fu Shutao, who was out of breath. Her usually smiling face now showed a rare hint of anxiety.

Fu Shiyuan's expression became serious: "What's wrong? What happened?"

"Fourth brother, come on! Drive me to third brother's place." Fu Shutao pulled him out and explained the current situation to him as they walked.

"You suspect he wants to commit suicide?"

"Yes. I'll ask Uncle Liu for the address of Third Brother's house."

Fu Shiyuan wiped his face. Although he didn't think Fu Sui'an would commit suicide, seeing her anxious look, he probably knew something. So he didn't say anything extra. Instead, he took the initiative and pulled her towards the garage. "No need to ask Uncle Liu, I know where it is."

He drove fast and there were not many cars at night, so he arrived at a group of villas in less than 10 minutes.

"How do we get in?" Fu Shutao asked in a low voice as he looked at the approaching security booth.

"It's okay, just scan your face."

Fu Shiyuan lowered the car window and said to the security guard, "I have something urgent to discuss with Yan Baichuan."

"Okay, Mr. Fu." The security guard had just seen him and Yan Baichuan enter the residential area today and had no doubts about this matter. Seeing that there was only a little girl in the car and there was no danger, he did not dare to ask more questions and directly opened the gate to let the car in.

Fu Shutao understood, "Brother Chuan also lives here?"

"Well, when he doesn't want to go home, he lives here alone." Fu Shiyuan said as he stopped the car steadily.

The two of them got out of the car in a hurry. Fu Shiyuan looked around and pointed at the villa at the corner and said, "It should be that one. I met Fu Sui'an coming out of it before."

"It's that building. I've seen my third brother." Fu Shutao has good eyesight and immediately spotted the figure sitting on the railing of the open-air balcony on the top floor of the villa.

Fu Shiyuan followed her line of sight and was truly shocked. "He...really wants to commit suicide?"

Fu Shutao was looking at the villa. The gate was locked, and the only way to get in was to climb over the high wall.

"Call...call the police?" Fu Shiyuan was so nervous that he stuttered.

"No need to bother them, I'm faster. You wait for me outside, I'll go up first." As she said that, she took two steps back, ready to sprint to climb the wall.

Fu Shiyuan quickly grabbed her and said, "I'll go with you. If you go alone, and if something really happens to him, you won't be able to explain it." There are many such plots in TV dramas, where someone goes to save someone, but because he is alone, he is framed as the murderer.

Fu Shutao was stunned.

Fu Shiyuan was afraid that she would refuse, so he continued to add pressure on himself: "Besides, I am a man after all, and I can help out a little."

Fu Shutao nodded, "Okay."

She took a running start and jumped up, instantly climbing onto the two-meter-high wall, then stretched out her hand, "Fourth Brother, I'll pull you up."

Fu Shiyuan: “…”

What should I do if my sister is too strong?

What else could I do but let her pull me up obediently.

The two jumped off the wall and rushed in without thinking.

Soon, the two encountered the second difficulty. The door of the house was also locked, and it was a combination lock.

Fu Shutao was looking around to see if there were any windows that were not closed tightly.

Fu Shiyuan followed stealthily and said guiltily, "The two of us... are like thieves."

In a blink of an eye, Fu Shutao was seen doing something more like a thief - she started entering the password for the combination lock.

Fu Shiyuan was shocked: "You know the password?" He felt sour in his heart. When did Fu Sui'an become so close to her that he even told Taotao the password?

But Fu Shutao replied lightly: "I don't know."

Fu Shiyuan looked confused: "What are you pressing?"

"Let's give it a try. We can't just sit and wait." Fu Shutao pressed the last number.

“Beep——”

The door is open! !

Fu Shiyuan was stunned and blurted out: "What did you learn in the mountains?"

He was able to guess the password in one go. Could he have learned fortune-telling in the mountains?

Fu Shutao rolled her eyes impolitely and said as she ran up the stairs, "I just tried Third Brother's birthday. His password was too simple."

Fu Shiyuan was slightly stunned, "You remember our birthdays?"

"Yeah." Fu Shutao nodded without saying much.

If she wasn't so anxious, Fu Shiyuan could imagine that she would raise her head and say proudly, "Look how good my memory is, isn't it amazing?" and then raise her chin and wait for praise.

Fu Shiyuan felt soft in his heart and praised softly: "Great."

*

The two quickly ran up to the top floor, which was brightly lit.

As soon as I arrived at the open-air balcony, the first thing I saw was an empty bottle of white wine. Looking outside, I saw Fu Sui'an sitting on the Roman column railing of the balcony, holding a bottle of white wine tightly in his hand and taking a sip.

Fu Shutao paused and called softly, "Third Brother."

Fu Sui'an turned his head, his face flushed and his expression confused. He tilted his head and looked at them. Just as he was about to speak, he only burped.

Suddenly, a great force came from his arm. When he reacted, he was thrown to the ground. Although she released the force at the last moment, her buttocks still hurt a little.

Fu Shiyuan didn't even see how she died, and could only mourn for Fu Sui'an.

Fu Shutao clapped his hands and said, "Call it a day, Fourth Brother, take him back."

"Take it back?"

"Are you going to take care of him here?" Fu Shutao said with a smile, "I don't know how to take care of an alcoholic. Of course I have to take him back and ask the aunts at home for help."

That’s true.

Fu Shiyuan was convinced by her and reached out to help Fu Sui'an up from the ground and put him in the car.

The embarrassing thing is... I didn’t help him up.

Fu Shutao couldn't help but burst out laughing, and said sarcastically: "Fourth brother, you are so weak."

"A drunk person is the heaviest. It's normal that I can't move him by myself."

Fu Shutao said nothing and directly carried Fu Sui'an onto his shoulders. "Let's go. Fourth brother, you should do a technical job and drive well."

Fu Shiyuan felt weak and looked at the small muscles on his arms. Should he go back and practice some in the evening?

Forget it, let’s do it tomorrow! It's time to go home and sleep so late.

sleep? I have to say, he was overthinking it.

As soon as the two men carried Fu Sui'an out of the front door, they saw that the door of the villa had been opened and several policemen were standing at the door, ready for action.

Fu Shutao looked at them and asked curiously, "Fourth brother, did you call the police? They came pretty quickly."

"No..." Fu Shiyuan was slightly startled, then his expression changed, "They don't think we are kidnappers, do they?"

Fu Shutao: “…”

At this moment, the police shouted to them from a distance: "Put him down and put your hands up!"

Fu Shutao obediently put Fu Sui'an on the ground and explained, "This is my third brother. He was drunk. We were afraid that something might happen to him, so we came to look for him."

The police snorted coldly, "Don't quibble. We have already checked the property's surveillance. You two sneaked in through the door and climbed over the wall. You don't look like good people. Come with us to the police station."

Fu Shutao and Fu Shiyuan looked at each other.

It seemed that it was the property management who called the police. They probably saw two people sneaking over the wall into the owner's villa through the surveillance camera on the road at the entrance, and quickly called the police. The police knew that the people living in this area were either rich or noble, so they naturally did not dare to make judgments at will.

No matter how much they explained, the police refused to let them leave.

Even though Fu Shiyuan stated his identity, it was confirmed by the security guard at the door. The police also secretly suspected that it was an internal struggle among the wealthy family. They did not dare to let it go, nor did they dare to blame it. They just said that they should go to the police station together.

Fu Shutao poked Fu Shiyuan, looking excited: "Fourth brother, let's go. Just wait until Third brother sobers up."

[I have never been in a police car or inside a police station. I want to go and take a look! 】

Fu Shiyuan was helpless, "You are so generous!"

Fu Shutao was happy, "I haven't broken any law, why should I be afraid of the police!"

Hearing their conversation, the police behind them secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that it was not a big case, but the necessary procedures still had to be followed.

*

The two were taken to the police station. The chief had just arrived. When he saw Fu Shiyuan, he sighed, "Why did you get in?"

"Uncle Ji, I am really in trouble this time!" Fu Shiyuan also sighed, "By the way, this is my little six, her name is Fu Shutao."

Fu Shutao greeted him obediently: "Hello, Uncle Ji."

Ji Minglang smiled kindly, "Hello. Don't worry, it's just a matter of following the procedures, and you'll be out soon."

Fu Shutao smiled and nodded.

Looking at such a well-behaved little girl, Ji Minglang glared at Fu Shiyuan fiercely, pulled him aside, and scolded him: "Such a well-behaved little girl, you took her to climb the wall in the middle of the night?"

Fu Shiyuan was speechless. It wasn't me who brought her up, it was clearly her who brought me up!

Just because she looks cute, do I have to take the blame?

This world where appearance is everything is not fair at all!

"Okay, stop explaining. Call your family to pick you up."

Fu Shiyuan bargained: "Can we find our housekeeper?"

"No, it must be a relative."

Who are you looking for in the middle of the night?

Fu Shutao said subconsciously: "Of course I'm looking for..."

She wanted to look for her eldest brother, but hesitated: "My eldest brother goes to bed late at night and is a workaholic. If we are rescued tonight, he won't get much sleep and will have to go to work tomorrow. It's too hard." It’s better to ask my second sister because she is lazy. 】

She took out her cell phone and said, "I'll call my second sister."

Fu Shutao had a good plan, but unfortunately Fu Shuangchi was taking a beauty sleep and turned off his phone early and fell asleep.

Fu Shiyuan had no choice but to call Fu Yijin with a fear of death. The phone rang for a long time before it was connected. It seemed that Fu Yijin was woken up while sleeping.

He held his breath and spoke carefully: "Brother, Taotao and I are at the police station, can you come and take us?"

The other party was silent for a while, and then asked in a low voice: "Where?"

Fu Shiyuan was stunned for a moment, then quickly responded: "I'll send you the address."

Fu Yijin hung up the phone.

Fu Shiyuan turned around and asked Fu Shutao uncertainly: "Brother...will you really come to rescue us? You won't just leave us in the police station to fend for ourselves, will you?"

"Why not come? He is our eldest brother." Fu Shutao tilted his head, his eyes full of confusion, as if he didn't understand why he would have such doubts.

Fu Shiyuan didn't know how to explain it. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "The wealthy family is different from your Taoist temple. It is normal for the relationship between brothers and sisters to be indifferent."

Fu Shutao laughed out loud, her eyes narrowed into crescents, she looked so cute and sweet, but her words hit people's hearts directly: "Last time, my second sister's mother said that it is normal for couples in wealthy families to have no feelings for each other. Now you say that it is also normal for brothers and sisters in wealthy families to have bad relationships... Fourth brother, have you ever thought that it is your wealthy family that is not normal?"

[Ugly people are often weird, and rich people are often perverted!] 】

Abnormal Fu Shiyuan: "..."

Can't refute it.

As they were talking, two groups of injured thugs were brought in and squatted in the corner.

Fu Shutao looked at them curiously.

The gang leader was a yellow-haired boy. When he saw a good girl looking at them, he tried to scare her: "What are you looking at? Have you never seen people fighting?"

Fu Shutao asked curiously: "Yes, I have. But why are you fighting?"

"He beat my brother."

"Bullshit, it was obviously your people who hit my brother first."

Just as the two gangs were about to start arguing, Fu Shutao suddenly said, "Wow, you guys are so loyal."

Seeing her sincere expression, the two gangs fell silent instantly.

Policeman on the side: ...

Miss, please stop causing trouble!
