Chapter 471: A Serious Crime
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“I don’t think she’s lying.”
Sang Qianqian pondered for a few seconds. “But we might be able to find Father-in-law’s whereabouts.”
“The place where Shen Shaofeng was locked up should be in a basement. The room had no windows.”
Xie Shi’an wasn’t as optimistic as Sang Qianqian. “Houses with basements are too common overseas. Moreover, Ruan Xiaodie has been staying in a few places. It’ll be extremely difficult to track Shen Shaofeng’s whereabouts.”
Most importantly, they were currently overseas. This kind of searching would definitely require a lot of people.
No matter how secretive they were, it was very likely that Ruan Xiaodie’s people would find out what they were doing. It would be really troublesome then.
“Not necessarily. Did you notice Father-in-law’s untouched food on his bed just now?”
Sang Qianqian lowered her voice. “Last time, I also noticed on the tableware he smashed. Do you think the people Ruan Xiaodie assigned to look after him would include a chef to cook special meals?”
Xie Shi’an was slightly stunned. He carefully recalled the scene in the surveillance camera and realized something.
He looked at her. “You mean… Shen Shaofeng might not be overseas but still in the country?”
“That’s right. The food they sent to him wasn’t Western food, but Chinese rice and stir-fried vegetables.”
She said firmly, “Father-in-law must still be in the country.”
This conclusion was a little too shocking, but it was also motivating.
Xie Shi’an pondered. “Ruan Xiaodie is in the country right now. Could it be that she left someone to watch over Shen Shaofeng for her?”
“The people that Shao Jin left behind for her were all trained abroad and aren’t familiar with China. Ruan Xiaodie probably wouldn’t rashly let them watch over Shen Shaofeng.”
Sang Qianqian voiced her assumptions. “She once wanted to save Cui Yi. 1 was thinking, could it be one of the Ruan family’s old subordinates? At the very least, she would have absolute trust in that person. Only then would she dare to hand Shen Shaofeng over to him.”
“That’s easy. 1 can check them one by one.”
Xie Shi’an was very clear about the whereabouts of all of the Ruan family’s old subordinates. Most of Ruan Cheng’s trusted ones were dead. The rest were either in prison or changed their professions. It wouldn’t be a problem to investigate.
Sang Qianqian nodded. “I’ll have to trouble you then.”
She was more or less at ease with Shen Shaofeng now, but Shen Hanyu’s situation really worried her.
Ruan Xiaodie said that he would not have the time and energy to look for her this time. She must have some evil plan.
Strictly speaking, Shen Hanyu did not have any other weaknesses apart from her and Shen Shaofeng.
To him, Zhen Group and even Phoenix Technology were no more important than looking for her. This was not because Sang Qianqian was conceited, but because she knew him too well.
She had left without saying goodbye twice, which must have thoroughly angered him. He would definitely find her at all costs.
If Ruan Xiaodie wanted to take action against the Zhen family to restrain him, it wouldn’t be so easy.
As Old Lady Zhen had just been poisoned and hospitalized, the Zhen family’s defense level had been raised to the highest level. Moreover, even if they were in trouble, Shen Hanyu would never stop looking for her.
After all, those two things could go hand in hand and not clash.
So, who or what could be stopping Shen Hanyu from looking for her?
“Qianqian? Qianqian?”
Hearing Xie Shi’an’s voice, Sang Qianqian came back to her senses. “Sorry, what did you just say?”
Xie Shi’an seemed to have said something in her ear just now, but she was too engrossed in her thoughts and did not hear it clearly.
“Nothing, I just wanted to ask you,”
He hesitated for a few seconds and said, “Why didn’t 1 see my DNA test results with the baby this morning?”
Sang Qianqian didn’t know how to answer. After a while, she said, “There’s no need.”
Before he could ask again, she had already touched her belly. “Shian, can we eat first? I’m a little hungry.”
His gaze fell on her abdomen, and his expression softened. “Of course, I’ll arrange it now.”
However, in his heart, he couldn’t help but guess what Sang Qianqian meant by “There’s no need”.
She must be certain that the baby came from that night at the hospital, so she didn’t think of doing a DNA test for him and the child, right?
Thinking of this, Xie Shi’an’s brows relaxed. A joy that he had never felt before filled his heart.
Sang Qianqian silently watched him leave with a complicated look in her eyes.
In fact, she really wanted to tell him that the child wasn’t his at all, so there was no need for a DNA test result.
However, she was afraid that if she said this, it would cause trouble.
It was not that she did not trust him, but… After Ruan Xiaodie’s incident, she could not trust anyone easily.
She had trusted Ruan Xiaodie so much that she had stayed up for many nights and adjusted the treatment plan over and over again. She wanted to cure her “illness” and let her slowly return to a normal girl.
But who knew that everything was fake? Behind every innocent smile and every sweet “Sister Qian Qian” was a conspiracy.
Even now, Xie Shi’an was willing to spare no effort to help her and stand on her side. With their past relationship between them, was it possible that things would continue like this?
Would this child also become a factor?
If he knew that the child wasn’t his but Shen Hanyu’s, would Xie Shi’an still help her save Shen Shaofeng with all his heart?
Perhaps he would still do it because of their old relationship, but who knew if his efforts to save her would be reduced?
Sang Qianqian didn’t dare to take the risk because Shen Shaofeng’s safety was too important. To be on the safe side, it was better to save the former first before telling Xie Shi’an the truth.

Ruan Xiaodie had said that Sang Qianqian and Xie Shi’an would be able to return after two days.
Sang Qianqian thought that the two days were just an estimate.
However, she never expected that exactly two days later, Ruan Xiaodie would send someone over again to send her and Xie Shi’an back to the country on a private jet.
For the past two days, they had stayed in the apartment Ruan Xiaodie had arranged and had no contact with the outside world.
The plane soon arrived in Beijing.
Sang Qianqian saw a shocking piece of news playing on the airport’s screens.
“The founder of Phoenix Technology, Shen Hanyu, who hasn’t appeared in public for a long time, arrived at Country A’s airport this morning. He had just gotten off the plane when he was detained by the police on the spot!”
“The founder and the president are both in trouble. This is like adding insult to injury for Phoenix Technology! It was said that Country A’s police had arrested Shen Hanyu because they received a report from a mysterious person that Shen Hanyu’s founded company was suspected of committing a huge amount of bank fraud and endangering Country A’s national security. Even if Shen Hanyu is innocent, it’s impossible for him to clear his name and regain his freedom within a short time…”
The emcee’s impassioned speech was like a sharp sword stabbing into Sang Qianqian’s heart. Her face turned pale and her vision was dark.
No wonder Ruan Xiaodie was so sure that Shen Hanyu wouldn’t have the time or energy to look for her.
It turned out that this was her trump card and plan. She had used the police in Country A to attack Shen Hanyu.. How vicious and ruthless!
