Zhang Ma couldn't stand by and watch Mu Qingxiang get into trouble.
"Young Master, what should we do now?"
"Don't worry, I'll call the butler in the countryside first. Maybe Grandma couldn't wait and returned early."
Although Fu Yanting said this, he didn't believe it himself.
He knew Mu Qingxiang's temperament well. Mu Qingxiang wouldn't be so willful and leave without a word.
There must be something fishy going on.
Although Zhang Ma didn't believe Mu Qingxiang would do such a thing, she had no other options at the moment.
After hanging up the phone, Fu Yanting called all the bodyguards to investigate Mu Qingxiang's whereabouts.
Meanwhile, Yan Xi was still unconscious in the room.
Fu Yanting had always been very powerful, but this time, the enemy was in the dark and he was in the light. He felt a deep sense of helplessness.
If the matter wasn't investigated and the mysterious person behind the scenes wasn't caught soon, the people around him would be in danger.
Beep.
His phone rang, and a photo was sent over.
It was Mu Qingxiang, sitting there with her eyes closed. She looked kind but also dignified.
Even though she was kidnapped, Mu Qingxiang could still sit there calmly and composed, which showed she was no ordinary person.
Fu Yanting tried to locate the phone number online, but it showed as a non-existent number.
Fu Yanting frowned deeply. It seemed the other party was much more cunning than he had imagined.
Beep.
Another text message came in.
"Mr. Fu, don't bother trying. You won't be able to find me. My goal is simple: I want the mine you have. As long as you give me the mine, I promise your grandmother and your wife will be safe and sound."
Fu Yanting sneered.
With him around, his grandmother and Yan Xi would definitely be safe and sound.
But it wouldn't be so easy for the other party to get his mine.
Fu Yanting looked at the background wall in the photo of Mu Qingxiang's kidnapping again. The background wall looked very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
But Fu Yanting couldn't recall it for a moment.
He stared intently at the photo, trying to figure out where his grandmother was.
After a long time, he suddenly remembered. A few days ago, he had secretly looked through Yan Xi's childhood photos and saw a background wall similar to this one.
Could it be that the person who kidnapped his grandmother was Yan Jiapeng?
Yan Jiapeng might not be the mastermind, but they were definitely involved in this matter.
Fu Yanting decided to go to the Yan family himself.
In the living room.
Yan Jiapeng looked at Fu Yanting obsequiously, always appearing hesitant, as if he had something to say to Fu Yanting but didn't know where to start.
He didn't dare to provoke Fu Yanting or anger him.
"Mr. Fu, to what do we owe the honor of your visit to my humble abode?"
"Brother-in-law, are you here to break off the engagement? When Mom and Dad arranged for my sister to marry you, I said then that my sister would never accept this marriage. She has someone else in her heart, so how could she be willing to spend her life with you? Look, you just woke up, and she's already given you a big green hat."
Fu Yanting's murderous gaze fell upon Yan Xiao, and only then did Yan Xiao shut her mouth.
Fu Yanting was truly too handsome.
With his looks and physique, he was the perfect representative of a dream lover.
Yan Xiao fell deeply in love with Fu Yanting at first sight.
She vowed that she would make Fu Yanting fall in love with her, divorce that slut Yan Xi, and be with him.
Fu Yanting didn't respond to Yan Xiao, but the cold aura around him became even more pronounced.
Yan Jiapeng knew that Fu Yanting was angry.
He quickly winked at Yan Xiao, but Yan Xiao pretended not to understand and continued, "Brother-in-law, you must not be deceived by my sister's appearance. My sister..."
She usually pretends to be innocent.
Before Yan Xiao could finish speaking, Fu Yanting shot her a dark, menacing look, and Yan Xiao, scared, quickly shut her mouth.
Yan Jiapeng stepped in to smooth things over at the opportune moment.
Looking at Fu Yanting, Yan Jiapeng chuckled dryly and explained, "Mr. Fu, please don't take offense with my little daughter. She means well. Although Yan Xi is my daughter, I was usually busy with work and neglected her, which has led to her having a distorted view of the world."
Fu Yanting glanced up at Yan Jiapeng, and Yan Jiapeng quickly shut his mouth.
He wasn't sure about the extent of Fu Yanting's feelings for Yan Xi, so he didn't dare to speak ill of Yan Xi in front of Fu Yanting rashly.
He could only play the role of a loving father.
Yan Xiao was indignant. Seeing Yan Jiapeng still speaking up for Yan Xi in front of Fu Yanting, she became even more annoyed and said indifferently, "Daddy, don't be so biased anymore. That slut Yan Xi is not worthy of Mr. Fu at all. If she hadn't drugged me and made me unconscious, I would be the one marrying Mr. Fu now. How could she have gotten the chance?"
"So you kidnapped my grandmother to force me to divorce Yan Xi and be with you, right?"
As soon as Yan Xiao finished speaking, Fu Yanting preempted her, asking.
Yan Xiao was suddenly stunned. Why would Fu Yanting say that? What did he mean?
Kidnapping?
Why couldn't she understand a word of it?
Yan Jiapeng's expression also turned extremely grim.
He finally understood the purpose of Fu Yanting's visit to the Yan family today. Old Madam Fu had an accident, and Fu Yanting thought they were responsible for it all.
This misunderstanding was quite significant.
Yan Jiapeng did want to break up Yan Xi and Fu Yanting and have Yan Xiao marry him, so that Fu Yanting could truly become one of the family with him.
Therefore, Yan Jiapeng was also involved in dealing with Yan Xi, having made a few arrangements.
However, he wouldn't dare to kidnap Old Madam Fu even if he had ten times the courage.
That was the old madam of the Fu family.
Unless he wanted to die, why would he do such a thing?
"Mr. Fu, there must be some misunderstanding. We are family, after all. How could I possibly do such a thing?"
Yan Jiapeng explained softly.
Fu Yanting couldn't be bothered to argue with Yan Jiapeng. He directly took out his phone and said coldly, "Now, what else do you have to say?"
Upon seeing the background wall in the photo, Yan Jiapeng couldn't help but swallow. The background wall was indeed from their Yan family.
But he really didn't dare to kidnap Old Madam Fu.
There was indeed a misunderstanding.
No matter how Yan Jiapeng explained, he was speechless.
In Fu Yanting's mind, it was already a foregone conclusion that they were the culprits who kidnapped Old Madam Fu.
Their only way to clear their names was to help Fu Yanting find Old Madam Fu.
Who had such a deep-seated hatred for their Yan family to harm them in this way, causing Fu Yanting to misunderstand that the disappearance of Old Madam Fu was related to the Yan family?
