The old butler, who was standing respectfully with his head lowered, did not seem surprised at all. lie silently walked over and helped Xie Shi’an up, letting him sit on the sofa.
“Send him in.”
Ruan Xiaodie waved her hand. She was smiling, but that smile made the old butler’s hair stand on end.
The old butler looked down at Xie Shi’an and asked hesitantly, “Is this appropriate?”
“That’s not something you should worry about.”
Ruan Xiaodie said coldly, “You just have to do as I say.”
“Th-then my son and his family…” The old butler stammered and whispered.
Ruan Xiaodie interrupted him impatiently. “If you listen to me, they will be fine.”
He struggled to lift Xie Shi’an up and silently followed behind Ruan Xiaodie.
She raised her hand and pushed open the guest room door.
On the bed, Sang Qianqian lay there quietly with her eyes closed, still in a deep sleep.
Ruan Xiaodie’s gaze swept across her face, and her smile was a little cold.
“I didn’t want to do this so quickly, but you guys insisted on forcing me. So don’t blame me for this.”
She seemed to have thought of something, a happy and cruel smile appearing in her eyes. “However, Brother Shi’an, when you wake up, you will thank me for helping you get what you want, right?”

In the dark, the sea area under Mount Yu was brightly lit.
Countless members in bright red rescue suits were floating up and down from time to time, nervously searching the sea.
The seawater splashed against the reef, splashing cold water everywhere. Shen Hanyu stood quietly by the reef. Even though his clothes were soaked by the waves, he didn’t seem to notice.
It took him more than three hours to get here by plane from the southwest overnight. He stood motionless at the spot where Shen Shaofeng fell into the water for a long time.
Guo Muyang stood at the side with a guilty expression, unable to even say a word of comfort.
Shen Shaofeng fell into the water located near one of the popular seaside scenic spots in Mount Yu. The terrain in the area wasn’t so complicated.
Despite that, perhaps it was because his legs had malfunctioned. When he was walking along the beach, he accidentally fell into the water. At that time, the tide was strong. The nearby tourists and safety officers saw him and hurriedly went into the water to help, but they could not find him.
Guo Muyang was extremely regretful now. Why did he mention Mount Yu’s scenery back then? If he hadn’t done so, this disaster wouldn’t have happened.
The east was gradually brightening. On the surface of the sea, the rescue team members tiredly emerged from the water.
The search and rescue area had expanded again and again, but they still found nothing.
It was not a complete loss. They found a few small pieces of clothing that were floating in the water.
The clothes belonged to Shen Shaofeng. The surveillance camera at Mount Yu’s entrance had clearly captured the color of his clothes.
Shen Shaofeng had fallen into the sea for more than half a day. Logically speaking, his clothes shouldn’t have become so tattered. There was only one possibility…
Shen Hanyu stared at the pieces of fabric and slowly gripped them in his hand.
Guo Muyang looked at him worriedly. “Hanyu…”
Shen Hanyu was silent for a long time.
Guo Muyang gritted his teeth. “Let’s expand the search area. There might be a miracle. Back then, Ruan Xiaoshuang was saved when she fell into the river. It might happen again for Uncle Shen…”
In the half-bright morning light, Shen Hanyu’s figure revealed an indescribable sadness.
“This isn’t the same…”
He shook his head gently. After a moment, he spoke in a low and hoarse voice as if he could not bear the burden. “We’ll do as you say and expand the search area for another week.”
He and Guo Muyang both understood that falling into the sea wasn’t like falling into the river. The sea was endless, the tides rising and falling, and the wind and waves were unpredictable.
There were also all kinds of large fish in the sea. Nothing good could be said if a person were to disappear inside it.
Guo Muyang felt as if there was a stone in his heart.
“The last time 1 went to visit Uncle Shen, I sat with him and drank a little wine.”
He remembered the last time he went to see Shen Shaofeng. “I asked Uncle
Shen why he didn’t go to the capital to look for you. He said that the capital was too big and too prosperous, and he couldn’t get used to it. Moreover, there weren’t many acquaintances there. Ming City was more comfortable. He even said, ‘Wait for me to go to the willows’… When you and Miss Sang have grandchildren, it won’t be too late for him to go and play with his grandchildren…”
Guo Muyang sat down on a rock and sniffed. “I was joking back then and said that maybe one day, Hanyu would bring AAiss Sang and a chubby baby back to Ming City. That way, he wouldn’t have to go to the capital…”
At that time, Shen Shaofeng also smiled, “That’s good, it saves me the trouble of going far. I’ve stayed in Ming City my entire life. If I have to say, this is still the most comfortable place for me. It would be best if Hanyu and Qianqian could come back here…”
After Guo Muyang thought about it for a while, he realized he always had good judgment and spoke appropriately. He coaxed Shen Shaofeng so much that the man couldn’t stop grinning from ear to ear. Shen Shaofeng was filled with anticipation for the future.
That night’s smile and voice were still there, but he did not expect that it would be the last time he saw Shen Shaofeng…
Shen Hanyu’s eyes were slightly red, and his throat was a little choked.
In this life, he owed his father.
Especially in the past two years, he was often in the capital and rarely returned to Ming City. He rarely met Shen Shaofeng.
Shen Shaofeng was unwilling to go to the capital, so Shen Hanyu could only find time to visit him.
Every time, he would ask Shen Hanyu to treat Sang Qianqian well and live in the capital in peace. “Don’t worry about me. I’m fine.”
Shen Hanyu thought that he still had time.
Once the matters in the capital were settled, he would return to Ming City with Sang Qianqian. In the future, when Sang Minglang would gradually move his industrial center back to Ming City, they would go abroad to bring Sang Pengcheng back. The family would then be able to enjoy happiness together.
Who would have thought those plans would not go as planned by the heavens? Sang Minglang was now in a coma in the hospital, and his father… They were now separated.
In the distance, the morning light was already beginning to dim. Golden-red light gradually appeared in the clouds that lined the sea and the sky.
The sea breeze in the morning turned gentle, bringing with it moisture and coolness. The ocean rippled slightly, and the water was sparkling.
Shen Hanyu’s eyes were dazzled by the light and he came back to his senses.
His voice was extremely hoarse. “I’ll make a trip to the capital and bring Qianqian back.”
If nothing unexpected happened, Ruan Xiaodie would leave the capital today.
However, Shen Hanyu was worried as this person was leaving so willingly after her plan failed.
It was better for him to fetch Sang Qianqian back personally. At the same time, he could also settle matters with the Zhen Family.
“Don’t worry, I’ll be here.”
Guo Muyang quickly got up and followed him to the shore.
After hesitating for a while, he said, “If we can’t find Uncle Shen in a week, then…”
Shen Hanyu was silent for a long time. “If we still can’t find him, then let the rescue team disperse.”
The sea breeze was cold, blowing away the low and inaudible words that came after, “1 will personally hold my father’s funeral.”

Bang, bang, bang! The sound of the door being smashed was extremely loud, like thunder. Sang Qianqian’s head hurt from the impact.
When she tried hard to open her eyes, someone beside her seemed to have woken up and suddenly sat up.
Sang Qianqian’s consciousness was muddled for a few seconds. When she looked over, she met Xie Shi’an’s embarrassed, guilty, and panicked eyes.
Almost at the same time, the door was kicked open and Jian Zheng rushed in in exasperation.
However, after a single glance, he immediately averted his gaze and roared angrily, “Xie Shi’an, come out!”
