Chapter 2039
Without any particular explanation, I could clearly feel that Murong Nanchuan was aware of my identity.
Fu Shenyan had gone to great lengths to make the Murong family think that I was Shen Shu, a substitute, but now it was still a lost cause.
These two words were enough to warn me.
It was because he was certain that I was Shen Shu that he had his sights set on Shen Changlin and the others – they were the best, threatening bargaining chips for Fu Shen Yan and me.
The only redeeming factor was that Murong Nanchuan was not targeting the three children.
The atmosphere in the living room was on the verge of a flare-up, as if adding more fuel to the fire would be a vicious exchange of words without regard for decency.
Luckily, the butler came over, “Master, Madam, it’s time to eat.”
This defused a crisis.
After all, each of them had their own agenda, and they all sat down at the same table with their anger intact.
The meal was particularly depressing, and Fu Shenyan and I did not speak throughout the meal.
As for Lin Ivana and the others, they had already agreed that if they were forcibly taken away by Murong Zhuan’s people, they did not have to resist, and now it was Murong Nanchuan who did the same.
The couple was superficially perfect, and they had a lot to say one after the other.
The time has finally come to part ways, and Lin Ivana is standing by the side of the road with me on her arm, making the scene as planned, with a lot of words and reluctance.
Before getting into the car, Fu Shenyan did not forget to coldly warn Murong Nanchuan, “I hope you will do what you say and treat Xiaoshu’s relatives well, otherwise, I will let the whole Fu family be buried with you.”
When we came, there were only the three of us, when we went back, it was still the same.
Although it was Fu Shen Yan’s plan, the anxious feeling spread uncontrollably as I watched Shen Changlin’s figure grow smaller from afar.
Probably sensing my nervousness, Fu Shen Yan reached out and swept me into his arms, giving a reassuring pill, “I promise, Mom, Dad, Third Uncle, none of them will be hurt.”
The fact that Fu Shen Yan is a man of his word and will never make a promise easily if he is not sure of something, with his words, all the worries I had in my heart were eliminated.
“Don’t be in a hurry,” interjected Shen Yu from the front seat, not too early but not too late, meaningfully saying, “We’ll have no sleep tonight.”
As soon as these words were spoken, a bolt of lightning thundered out of the night sky outside, and the branches of the trees on both sides of the road seemed to be shaken hard, swaying wildly from side to side.
As Shen Yu said, it was destined to be an extraordinary night.
After returning home, washing up and tending the children to bed, I put on my coat and went downstairs.
Shen Yu and Fu Shen Yan were both in the hall, one sitting on the sofa with his chin propped up, the other standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with his back to me, the blinding light of the lightning shining in, pulling Fu Shen Yan’s shadow long and lonely.
This atmosphere, there should be no news yet.
Waiting is often the most torturous of all.
If things went well, Fu Shenyan’s men would find the secret address where Murong Nanchuan had hidden his men and break it in one fell swoop tonight.
If it didn’t go well, nights like this would become the norm in the future.
Chapter 2040
Throughout the night, no news came, and while the body was already ringing with signs of extreme drowsiness, the spirit was holding strong and sleepless.
The night broke up, the sky was white with fish belly, the rain on the porch began to become thin, as if knocking the end of the empty hand.
Shen Yu finally couldn’t sit still anymore, getting up violently, he grabbed his jacket and headed out, “I have to turn the Murong family upside down today.”
This is what was discussed before the plan started, once there was an accident, the net would be broken.
But this is always the next best thing, once we really do it, Murong Nanchuan and the police will join forces, at that time even if we are in the right, we will become the unreasonable party to be controlled, so it is extremely inappropriate to take this step until the last resort.
“Let’s wait a little longer.” I called out to Shen Yu and looked at the wall clock, “There’s still half an hour before the appointed latest time, it rained so hard last night, maybe it was delayed.”
“No patience.” Shen Yu’s face was not very nice, but he did not really leave, after thinking for a while with a sullen face, he decided to let Fu Shen Yan make a decision.
“You came up with this plan, tell me, by now, are you going to continue to sit here indifferent?”
There were no obvious words of blame in his words, but what was revealed between the lines was the indignation of asking Fu Shen Yan to take responsibility.
He didn’t mean to take it personally, it’s just that no one can be calm now that the elders’ lives and deaths are uncertain.
I believe Fu Shen Yan, after the reunion, he has long since ceased to be the cold-blooded machine that would sacrifice the interests of those around him in order to achieve his goals, only that Shen Yu is still stuck in his past perception of him and has not come out of it.
I opened my mouth to explain for Fu Shen Yan, but his low voice rang out from the direction of the floor-to-ceiling window, “I’ll go with you.”
The final time of the appointment was the latest time limit to bring back the elders safely even if the plan did not work, before that time, all actions started and were detected by the other side, there was the possibility of hurting the enemy a thousand and damaging oneself a hundred.
But Fu Shen Yan actually agreed to take the risk with Shen Yu.
After he finished looking at me, he lifted his feet and walked over, picking up the air-conditioned blanket next to him and draping it over my shoulders, his voice soft and husky, “Go up and get some sleep, I promise you that I will bring Mom and Dad and Uncle San back safely.”
After giving me a smile of peace, Fu Shen Yan let go of his hand and walked towards the door.
Even Shen Yu was taken aback by his reaction, and froze for a moment before returning to his senses and lifting his feet to follow.
The two of them passed the staircase, but the phone rang suddenly, as if the lightning had broken through the sky last night, instantly igniting the atmosphere of the whole house.
Shen Yu immediately took out his mobile phone, put it to his ear and answered it, and after a few seconds, hung up with a grim expression.
“Well?” I couldn’t help but ask.
Shen Yu turned his face to look at me and nodded leisurely, “It’s all under control.”
I noticed that Fu ShenYan’s eyebrows, which had been tightened, had only eased at this moment.
He had no idea how selfish his actions had been, and was looking forward to his own transformation, to be able to truly protect my family.
Last night was more like an examination paper. If he failed, he might not have the courage to stay by my side, but only if he succeeded would he be able to prove that the Fu Shenyan of today has really changed and become a real man who will protect me and my family at all costs.
