“This is my uncle.”

As soon as Song Fengwan finished speaking, a few girls next to them started whispering.

“Her uncle is so young and handsome.”

“I thought he was her brother, but he’s actually her uncle? Why is her uncle here for the parent-teacher meeting?”

“Why doesn’t my uncle look like this?”

…

Fu Chen narrowed his eyes and kept smiling at Song Fengwan while holding the prayer bead bracelet in his hand.

She sat up straight and looked straight ahead without looking at him at all because she was feeling guilty. You can’t blame me for this. If I called you big brother, it would definitely spread. If my family finds out about us, it won’t be good.

“Song Fengwan.” The homeroom teacher reminded, “You’re going up to receive an award later, so you have to go there with the class monitor and listen to the teacher’s arrangements.”

“Okay.” Song Fengwan nodded. During the ceremony today, the top 100 students in the four cities’ joint examination would be commended, and Song Fengwan’s results just happened to be at the bottom of this list.

A few minutes later, Song Fengwan left. Fu Chen stared at her as she left, feeling even happier than when he got first place in his exams in the past.

Shi Fang, standing not far away with his head lowered, was directing others to catch Sun Zhen.

Yuncheng wasn’t big, but if he wanted to hide, it would be easy to hide. Surveillance cameras weren’t everywhere in the city, so it wasn’t exactly an easy task to find someone.

From time to time, he raised his head and looked at Fu Chen.

When he saw him suddenly showing a fatherly smile, his heart started trembling. That’s so f*cking scary.

At the side, a parent nudged Fu Chen. “You’re the guardian of the child receiving an award?”

“Yes.” Fu Chen nodded.

“Look at how pretty that girl is and how hardworking she is in her studies.” The woman poked her daughter’s head and suddenly smiled at Fu Chen. “Your niece is really living up to expectations.”

Fu Chen’s smile froze. He couldn’t smile anymore. Niece…

His phone vibrated. It was Qian Jiang calling. He turned to his side and bent his body to leave his seat. “Sorry, please make way.” The auditorium was full of people, so it wasn’t easy for him to squeeze out of the crowd. “Hello, Qian Jiang…”

“Ms. Qiao is already in the emergency room. There’s a minor crack on the bone of her left calf, her little toe is fractured, and there’s some bleeding in her abdomen. The other parts of her body still need to undergo checking.”

“Oh.” Fu Chen pinched the space between his eyebrows. “Hasn’t Mr. Yan arrived yet?”

“Not yet.”

Fu Chen hung up and looked at Shi Fang. “You haven’t found him yet?”

“I’ve already sent people to search the entire city, and the police are also looking for him, but there’s still no news.” Shi Fang felt guilty under his gaze.

The police didn’t know that Sun Zhen was involved in a deliberate homicide and thought that it was just a simple hit-and-run. They were also searching for him throughout the city.

“Be as quick as possible.” Fu Chen glanced at the center of the auditorium. At this moment, the principal was giving a motivational speech, and Song Fengwan was backstage, preparing to go on stage to receive the award, unaware of everything happening outside.

After the student representative finished their speech, the vice principal announced the commendation notice for the outstanding students. The dean of academic affairs announced the names on the list, and the students went on stage one by one.

Song Fengwan was among the last few. When the dean announced her name, some boys sitting below the stage started making a commotion.

Sun Qionghua wasn’t involved in the award presentation, so she was only watching in the audience. Fu Zhongli was one of the award presenters. When Song Fengwan passed by him, she didn’t greet Fu Zhongli and only smiled at him before hurriedly walking forward because there were a lot of people below the stage. The teacher at the back of the line kept hurrying the students, for fear that the progress of the award ceremony would be delayed.

Fu Zhongli sighed.

This young lady is indeed outstanding and well-behaved.

Our Fu family doesn’t have this good fortune.

Yuncheng Second Hospital…

When Yan Wangchuan rushed to the hospital, Qiao Aiyun was already in the operating room.

“Mr. Yan.” Qian Jiang saw him arrive and quickly walked up to him.

Yan Wangchuan saw the blood on Qian Jiang’s sleeves and hands, and the dry and dark red color stung his eyes. “How is she?”

“She’s undergoing emergency treatment. She has a fractured toe, but everything else is fine.” Qian Jiang didn’t dare to mention her bleeding abdomen because Yan Wangchuan would probably go crazy.

“What happened?”

Qian Jiang was a straightforward person, so he wouldn’t hide things. He simply said…

“Do you know Sun Zhen?”

Yan Wangchuan had a good memory and thought for a few seconds. “The Sun family’s adopted son?”

During the incident that day, when Sun Zhen rushed out of the private room, he had kicked him to the ground and subdued him. At the time, when the police were taking his statement, they had said his name, so it had left a deep impression on him.

“He tried to harm Miss Song with a knife.”

As calm of a person as Yan Wangchuan was, a crack appeared on his cold and stoic expression.

“He didn’t succeed. Miss Song is fine.”

Yan Wangchuan looked at Qian Jiang and had an inexplicable urge to kick him to death.

“Afterward, he ran out of the school gates and drove his car into Ms. Qiao’s.

“It succeeded.”

Yan Wangchuan’s fingers tightened. What should I do? I want to kick him even more now.

He took a deep breath and forced himself to hold it in.

A few minutes later, the police arrived and asked Qian Jiang about the situation at the time of the incident. While taking down his statement, a police officer glanced at Yan Wangchuan from the corner of his eye…

He’s such a fiend.

He’s everywhere.

“… You mean that this isn’t a traffic accident but deliberate?” The alarm bells in the police officer’s heart rang.

“Yes,” Qian Jiang said firmly.

Because the police found traces of brake marks at the scene, they could see that when Sun Zhen’s car hit Qiao Aiyun’s car, the direction of the car had changed slightly. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have only hit the front of the car. When the police investigated the scene, they naturally thought that the brake marks were a result of Sun Zhen taking measures to avoid harming Qiao Aiyun and subconsciously thought that it was an accident.

“Sir, are you aware that you have to take responsibility for your words? You are accusing him of murder.” This was a criminal offense, so the police naturally had to be careful.

“Yes.”

The two police officers looked at each other. It seemed that this matter had to be handed over to the Serious Crimes Investigation Unit. If this incident was a case of deliberate homicide and the suspect was at large, it would be extremely dangerous, and even the search force would have to be increased.

After the police left, Yan Wangchuan asked about the relationship between Sun Zhen and Song Fengwan.

Qian Jiang was a very straightforward person. Moreover, Yan Wangchuan was aware of Fu Chen and Song Fengwan’s matter, so he didn’t hide anything. “Actually, he doesn’t have any relationship with Miss Song. It’s Sun Rui who does. The incident that happened before the new year was actually targeted at Miss Song…”

After explaining the whole incident, Qian Jiang continued saying, “… After the incident, the Sun family emigrated overseas, but Sun Zhen was left in China. He probably thought that it was Miss Song’s fault, so he wanted to take revenge on her.”

Yan Wangchuan clenched his fists, loosened them, and clenched them again tightly. His eyes were dark, and he didn’t say a word.

On the other side, Fu Chen accompanied Song Fengwan to attend the Hundredth-day Pledge Ceremony and then the parent-teacher meeting held in her classroom. He sat in her seat while she sat beside him obediently.

Half of her desk was occupied by books and exam papers, and there was a thick stack of documents on the ground. There was a timetable, which had turned gray from all the rubbing, stuck to the bottom right corner of the table. The handwriting on it was elegant.

“Don’t randomly look around.” After experiencing the composition incident, Song Fengwan would stare at Fu Chen as though she was guarding against a thief whenever he moved.

“Okay.” Fu Chen was helpless. There was no news from the hospital, and even Sun Zhen couldn’t be found. Right now, it had been more than two hours since the incident happened…

The homeroom teacher was rather long-winded. He first urged the students and parents to prepare for the examination with all their might, and then he praised some of the students in the class. Because Song Fengwan had missed a portion of the classes previously yet still scored very well for the exam this time, her homeroom teacher put a lot of focus on praising her.

“… Although she’s an art student and has missed a lot of classes, she didn’t fall behind in her studies. Some of the students in our class really have to learn from her…”

At this moment, almost everyone’s eyes were on Song Fengwan and Fu Chen.

Fu Chen’s gaze was calm as he accepted everyone’s envious gazes. To him, it was normal. On the other hand, Song Fengwan was so embarrassed that she almost burrowed into the cracks of the desk…

She exerted force on her wrist and tried to pull her hand out of his.

This person is really way too bold.

He’s even holding my hand secretly. Doesn’t he realize where we are right now?

Fu Chen leaned toward her and lowered his voice. “My Wanwan sure is outstanding.”

Song Fengwan was furious, and her ears burned.

On the other side, Fu Zhongli and Sun Qionghua had just turned down the principal’s dinner invitation and were preparing to go home. When they passed by the school gates, the scene of the incident had already been cleaned up, and even the damaged three cars had already been taken away.

Fu Zhongli looked at his phone. Fu Chen had sent him a message a moment ago, telling him not to worry about him.

He sighed. What is this brat doing now?

“Actually, I was the happiest when we were students. Back then, we met in school…” Sun Qionghua was still feeling emotional from the Hundredth-day Pledge Ceremony, and her heart was surging with emotions.

“Yeah.” Fu Zhongli nodded.

On the way back, the two of them chatted about some of the moments they had when they were students, and their relationship seemed to ease.

But when they arrived home, Sun Zhen rushed out with a head full of blood, knelt down, and begged Sun Qionghua to save him. The atmosphere instantly froze again.

At around the same time, Shi Fang received the news and sent a message to Fu Chen. [Sun Zhen is at the Fu residence.]

Shi Fang hadn’t expected him to hide there. The Fu residence was an hour away from Yuncheng First High School by car, and there was no one in the Fu residence at the time. He really knows how to choose a place to hide.

He’s preparing to seek help, isn’t he?

Fu Chen looked at the message and forwarded it to Yan Wangchuan.
