"Dong Shuhua found me."
"And you gave her face? I didnât know Dong Shuhuaâs face was that big." Mr. Hai snorted coldly. If his son took action, it must have been at a huge cost, and he couldnât fathom who elseâs face could make him pay such a high price and reputation.
"Do you know how significant the impact of your actions is?" Hai Shuangjie said, troubled, holding his forehead, "I reckon Meng Xingzhi must hate our family to death."
"Dong Shuhua told me that Baoâer is not dead, nor missing..." Before Hai Yunfeng could finish his sentence, Mr. Hai had already stood up excitedly, urgently interrupting, "Are you serious? Youâre not lying to me? Youâre really not lying to me?"
Hai Shen was also wide-eyed in amazement, a surge of joy welling up.
"No! Baoâer was taken away by Shen Luhua. As for where exactly she was taken, Iâve already sent someone to investigate." Hai Yunfeng nodded, "She exchanged Baoâer for Shen Yuâs life, I agreed, I couldnât refuse."
"Well done!" Mr. Haiâs eyes suddenly sparkled, clenching his fists and knocking them together, "Not bad, youâve finally done something right."
"..."
"..."
Everyone looked at the old man speechless, what did he mean by doing something right?
"Baoâer is not dead, Baoâer is still alive... This is great, this is great..." Hai Shen was thrilled, "Dad, we must use every capability to find her, Iâll go ask my friends to help now."
Hai Yunfeng gave his son a surprised glance, "Iâve already arranged for people, you all just wait for the news!"
******
The reason for Hai Yunfengâs sudden action began to spread within a small circle, and when Su Jiang got the news, he was also surprised for a long time. Everyone knew how much Hai Yunfeng valued Baoâer, but to think...
The Shen Family truly has deep scheming, hiding such a big bargaining chip unused.
Father Shen received the news, furiously returning home.
"Where is Dong Shuhua?"
"In... in the room upstairs." The maid, terrified by his imposing demeanor, shrank her neck.
Father Shen had always had a good temper, never losing it outside. Even though this time something big happened, he was the calmest person in the Shen Family.
He quickly went upstairs, kicked open the door, and Dong Shuhua, who was inside combing her hair, was startled. The couple hadnât seen each other for several days because of the Shen Yu incident, and as soon as Dong Shuhua saw him, an unstoppable hatred rose in her heart.
She had never seen such a heartless father, Yuâer was their only son, how could he be so cruel as to ignore him?
"Why did you come in?"
"Explain to me why Hai Yunfeng would take action?" Father Shen, emotionally charged, stared at Dong Shuhua with eyes as cold as a corpse. He had always privately mocked Meng Xingzhi for marrying Su Yun, who not only wasnât virtuous but also constantly caused him trouble. Having a virtuous wife had always been something he was most satisfied with, but unexpectedly, so-called virtue was only apparent until it mattered most.
In critical times, it was simply foolish beyond measure.
"You wouldnât save our son, so I had to find a way myself."
"So, Baoâer was really taken away by Luhua? Why didnât you say anything all these years?"
"If Iâd said it earlier, would Hai Yunfeng have helped us today?"
"Back then, when Hai Yunfeng turned against our Shen Family, accusing you of scheming behind the scenes, wasnât he wronging you?"
"Hmph!" Dong Shuhua snorted coldly, neither confirming nor denying. But with Father Shenâs deep understanding of her, what was there not to understand, maybe even his sisterâs death was not unrelated to the wife he was so proud of.
