exert pressure on you. Do you think you Qin Mumu would still be able to remain so noble"That day in room 606, do you still remember what happened If it weren't for Jian Tong softening her heart and h...This steward of the Shen family held a higher position than Xia, the other steward. He had faithfully followed Master Shen for many years, naturally obeying his every command and earning the old master's trust. However, he had never heard of such a plan from the old master – to use illness as an excuse to get rid of Jian Tong… At this moment, he felt troubled and vaguely guessed at something.
But at this moment, I couldn't tell Shen Xiujian what I was guessing in my heart.
"Young master, this old servant has served the master for a lifetime. Logically speaking, if the master truly died from illness and used it as an excuse to kidnap Mistress Jian Xiao... then this old servant should know about it." The butler said with sincerity:
"Young Master, this old servant swears to you, the master really didn't use his illness as an excuse to do anything to Miss Jian this time."
Shen Xiujin gazed quietly at the butler in front of him. This old butler, who had served by his grandfather's side for so long, could be said to have grown up watching Shen Xiujin himself. As for this old butler, Shen Xiujin didn't think that he was lying at this moment.
Then... really nothing to do with Grandfather
A pair of phoenix eyes, cold and deep, long eyelashes drooping down, thinking deeply, if it weren't for my grandfather... who else could it be
Suddenly clenched a fist… Whoever it is!
The old butler was facing Shen Xiujin, and at this moment, his face, etched with the marks of time, was filled with astonishment!
The old butler gasped... He hadn't seen the young master with such a chillingly murderous look in ages!
"Young Master, what are you going to do!"
The old housekeeper rushed up and stopped Shen Xiujian who was turning to leave.
"Get out of the way!"
"Young Master, you can't be impulsive!" No, he absolutely couldn't let the Young Master leave like this. Otherwise, who knows what kind of trouble the Young Master would get into!
The old butler was extremely anxious!
“Hmph~ My wife has vanished! How am I supposed to remain calm! Get out of my way! You're also a veteran servant of the Shen family, I don't want to lay a hand on you.” The man’s icy side profile radiated frost and killing intent. He tilted his head slightly, his chilling eyes freezing the old steward in place. “Shen Er, pull him away!”
Shen Er immediately stepped forward. The old housekeeper couldn't stop Shen Xiuqin, and was instead effortlessly pulled aside by Shen Er. After decades of wind, frost, snow, and rain, he instantly understood what to do at this moment.
Absolutely not! He mustn't be allowed to run out now! ... A gleam flashed in the old butler's eyes. He didn't chase after Shen Xiu Jin, but with a quick turn of his heel, he bolted towards the emergency room like a dart.
"Grab him!" Shen Xiujin calmly commanded. Shen Er immediately acted swiftly, grabbing the old butler from behind. "I apologize, things are a bit hasty. My men didn't mean to be heavy-handed." Shen Er said to the old butler with an expressionless face.
Shen Xiujin glanced back faintly, sweeping his gaze over the old housekeeper, and landing on Shen Er's face: "Keep an eye on him." His faint eyes slowly swept towards the door of the emergency room, his dark eyes narrowed slightly, and his thin lips uttered again: "Also... that door!" He hadn't completely ruled out the possibility that the elderly man lying inside the door was a suspect.
The old steward instantly understood, his eyes widening in alarm. "Master! You can't!" He watched him, then the door that led to the master's quarters... wasn't this a form of house arrest!
He stared in shock at the hurried retreating figure at the end of the hallway, unable to believe it!
"Shen Er, let go! Quickly stop the young master, the old master absolutely does not want the young master to do anything that would tarnish the Shen family's reputation!" The old butler was full of anxiety, but Shen Er remained unmoved. The old butler cried out anxiously: "Go quickly! Why are you holding onto me so tightly!"
"I apologize, though your seniority puts you in a position of authority here. However, I answer only to Shen Xiujin." The implication was that he obeyed only Shen Xiujin's orders.
"You! You've caused trouble for the young master!"
"The boss has his own plans."
……
There, Shen Er kept a close watch on his grandfather and the people around him. The old butler's phone was "accidentally" smashed.
On this side, Shen Xiujin frantically mobilized all his contacts to find Jian Tong.
Deep down, he knew something was wrong with that woman. But he still hoped it was just a misunderstanding. So all the way, he controlled things remotely, dispatching his resources to find her, while every five minutes, he called home to ask Wang Butler if she had returned... although he knew that if she came back, Wang Butler would definitely inform him immediately.
His right eyelid twitched increasingly violently, a sudden inexplicable panic gripping his heart. It was an unsettling feeling Shen Xiuqin had never experienced in his lifetime.
The man in the car had his brows furrowed into a tight knot.
His car was speeding down the road, and his destination was none other than the Jian family!
Suddenly, a sharp screech of brakes pierced the air in front of Jian's house. The engine roared and then let out a deafening boom, "Wooommm!"
The sound caused Mrs. Jian, who was drinking tea, to be startled. The cup in her hand shattered with a loud "crack" upon hitting the ground.
"What's this What happened"
And Jian Zhen Dong, who had just gone to the study, was also startled by the deafening roar. He hurriedly stood up and walked to the window to look down... The next second, his face tightened!
Shen Xiujin's car!
At this moment, Jian Zhendong's mind was racing with countless guesses... How did he get here!
Shouldn't Shen Xiujin be at the hospital, waiting for Mr. Shen
Could he possibly be...
Countless speculations ran through his mind, but he dared not hesitate, stepping out of the study and hurrying downstairs.
"Jian Zhen Dong, where's Jian Tong!"
Jian Zhen Dong's face hardened as he said, "The child is gone..."
"I didn't come here to listen to your nonsense!"
“I… I really don’t know Could it be that Little Tong didn’t go back But Ms. Su personally picked her up and dropped her off. General Shen, could it be that the two young people are just playing around and went shopping somewhere”
……
Jian Zendong was at his wits' end in the Jian family, while Jian Tong was jolted awake by a bucket of cold water in an old warehouse.
A vintage incandescent light bulb hung above, the kind common in homes during the 1980s and 1990s.
She slowly woke up, opening her eyes only to be blinded by the weak light of the old incandescent bulb. She instinctively wanted to raise her hand to shield her eyes, but she couldn't move. Lowering her gaze, she saw that she was bound to the chair, her hands tied behind her head.
"You're finally awake!"
A voice suddenly sounded.
Jian Tong looked back, and when she saw that figure, she couldn't tell if it was a sneer or a wry smile. She let out a light laugh.
"You dare to laugh!"
Facing the unusually angry kidnapper, Jian Tong's reaction was unexpectedly calm for the man before him who was filled with rage.
And her calm was something the people in front of her couldn't bear!ess! Do you want me to say such things in front of the child!"It seems like she bullied Ding Nuan again... Jian Tong couldn't help but chuckle this time."Mom! We don't need to beg this bad woman!" A...
