“Hold on to this first. The child is more important. The person who ran over your child is a big shot; they won’t deny it.”

“Thank you.” The woman took the money and leaned on her husband.

In the fourth floor ward, Qin Xuejuan stood in front of Xia Yixuan protectively like she was fending off a thief. Xia Mingzheng’s expression was ugly. He laughed coldly. “The thief is calling for the police? Our Yixuan left you alone, and you’re pushing it.”

“So what if we are?” Lu Ke’en was taking advantage of his status now. There were so many of them. They could drown the father and daughter with their saliva alone.

“It’s nothing.” Xia Mingzheng was not stupid. He knew that he could not face the Lu family head-on. “I just want to know you taught our daughter. She even has the guts to kidnap someone?”

“Xiaohua, come here.” Lu Ke’en waved to Xia Ruoxin.

Xia Ruoxin walked over and stood in before him. “Daddy has never asked you about this. Say it if you want to, but it’s fine if you don’t. I’ll handle it for you.”

Xia Ruoxin did not reply. Instead, she fetched a cup of water and placed it before Lu Ke’en.

“Daddy, have some water first.”

“En.” Lu Ke’en was touched. Having a daughter was nice. She knows how to take care of people, unlike my son. He doesn’t even know to show me any concern. Can’t he see that my throat hurts from all the yelling? 

It was only then that Xia Ruoxin turned to look at the Xia father and daughter without any guilt. Was there ever a time when she lived like this with them, not bowing her head down like she was a class below?

“Mr. Xia, what did you say? Can you please repeat it?” Her expression and tone were even. One could not tell what she was feeling.

Xia Mingzheng had a cold smile on his face as he stood up for his daughter. He felt more than a little hatred for the person who imprisoned his daughter.

“I want to know how your parents taught you, for you to have the guts to kidnap someone.”

“Yes, that was it.” Xia Ruoxin was not upset. She smiled. “I want to ask you that, too. How did you teach your daughter, for her to have the guts to kidnap someone?”

Xia Yixuan’s expression changed as chills ran up her spine. Her scalp was numb.

“What do you mean?” Xia Mingzheng raised his voice, his tone filled with warning. He turned and looked at Lu Ke’en who was drinking tea idly.

“Lu Ke’en, your daughter not only knows kidnapping. She can really cook things up, huh?”

Lu Ke’en did not even look at him.

“Before reprimanding others, how about Mr. Xia ask the person beside him if she’s done something like that?” Xia Ruoxin said plainly… but coldly. It was as if there was a cold gust of wind in the room.

Xia Yixuan turned and stared at his daughter, but her spaced-out expression gave him a bad feeling.

“Yixuan, who did you kidnap?”

He did not believe that his daughter would do something like this. Even though she was a little willful and spoiled, she would never have the guts for something like this. However, she did commit hit and run this time so Xia Mingzheng felt that he had to refresh his understanding of his daughter.

Xia Yixuan only came to her senses then. How could she admit to this? She did not commit kidnapping, but she did imprison someone. She even killed her. She thought that no one would ever find out about it, but secrets would never last forever. Right now, she was terrified. How did Lu Xiaohua know?

“Dad, don’t listen to her nonsense. How can I possibly kidnap someone?”

Xia Mingzheng was not sure who to believe now. He knew his daughter. Because he had begun to suspect her, he could not be as self-righteous as before.

“Let’s go.” Xia Mingzheng did not want to spend another moment here, afraid that he would find out something that he did not want to know.

“Mr. Xia, you’re leaving just like that?” Xia Ruoxin’s voice came from behind him, making him pause in his footsteps.

“Mr. Xia, don’t you want to know who your daughter kidnapped and imprisoned? Don’t you want to know what your daughter did to her? Don’t you want to know how that person is now?”

Xia Ruoxin leaned back on a wall and looked down. It was a mix of quietness, sarcasm, and a lot of unknown feelings.

Xia Yixuan’s hand was filled with cold sweat. If there were things that Xia Yixuan was afraid of, one was Song Wan, the ticking time bomb. The other was the name Xia Ruoxin.

This person who had been around her for half her life, a name that she had almost forgotten.

“Does Mr. Xia not want to hear about this?” Xia Ruoxin parted her red lips. Her weak body seemed like it was about to fall, but her back was straight.

There was nothing in this world that could take her down.

No one in the world could hurt her.

Xia Mingzheng did not want to hear about it, but to his surprise, he saw Shen Yijun when he was at the door.

“Why are you here?” Xia Mingzheng was panicked. He had the urge to grab his entire family and flee.

“I’m here to see you all. Why, are we leaving?” She felt her head throb to have to clean up after the two of them. “Don’t worry, I’ve got it all arranged. They’re not difficult people.”

She looked at Xia Yixuan. She could not imagine how the daughter she had raised for years was so stupid. Was this a problem with genetics?

“Let’s go.” Xia Mingzheng held Shen Yijun’s had in one hand and Xia Yixuan’s in the other. He had a sense of danger like he had to leave this place. The Lu family was hard to deal with.

However, Lu Jinrong’s assistant was standing outside and blocked their way. He closed the door, stood in front of it, and reached out his hand.

“Mr. Xia, please.”

Xia Mingzheng lined his wife and daughter behind him. “What is the meaning of this?”

“Nothing much.” Lu Jinrong had a vague idea. He stood up, walked over to Xia Ruoxin’s side, and patted on her shoulder.

“My sister’s not done talking. Didn’t Mr. Xia say that you wanted my sister to give you an explanation? The Lu family’s not unreasonable. Just now, my sister can explain things to you properly.”
