He didn't dare to delay and immediately got up to find Mu Qingxiang.
This matter concerned his future with Yan Xi, so Fu Yan Ting dared not tell Yan Xi without understanding the situation.
Mu Qingxiang was still lying on the bed, appearing 'weak.' Upon seeing Fu Yan Ting, she barely managed to prop herself up and asked, "Yan Ting, why are you here? Isn't the company busy?"
"Grandma, you don't need to act in front of me anymore. I know you've been well for a long time."
Hearing Fu Yan Ting's words, Mu Qingxiang felt a bit awkward. She looked at Fu Yan Ting and said nothing more.
Fu Yan Ting, however, asked, "Grandma, where is Yan Zi Tong?"
Mu Qingxiang's eyes darted away. She lied to Fu Yan Ting, concealing the truth: "How would I know? Isn't he Yan Xi's son? You should ask Yan Xi about these things. Why are you asking me?"
"Grandma, the situation is like this, and you still want to hide it from me?"
Fu Yan Ting looked at Mu Qingxiang. Having relied on each other for so many years, Fu Yan Ting realized he seemed to have never truly understood Mu Qingxiang or what kind of person she was.
Mu Qingxiang didn't want to disappoint Fu Yan Ting, but she had already lied and now had to use countless lies to cover up the first one.
She lowered her head uncomfortably and mumbled, "He's just a child, but he's so cunning. Who knows where he went? Besides, he has hands and feet. Would he listen to me if I told him not to go?"
Upon hearing Mu Qingxiang's words, Fu Yan Ting felt nothing but disappointment.
He decided not to argue with Mu Qingxiang and directly presented the evidence.
Seeing Fu Yan Ting lay out all the evidence, Mu Qingxiang's face changed dramatically.
She tried to maintain her composure.
She wanted to explain to Fu Yan Ting, but he no longer wanted to hear it.
Fu Yan Ting said softly, "Grandma, do you think I can't find Yan Zi Tong just because you don't say anything? I'm just very disappointed in you."
After speaking, Fu Yan Ting strode out of Mu Qingxiang's room.
Watching Fu Yan Ting's resolute back, she suddenly started to cry. She had done all this for Fu Yan Ting's own good.
Yet now, Fu Yan Ting was blaming her so harshly.
Who could tell her if she had done something wrong?
In the Fu family courtyard, Yan Xi squatted on the ground, helpless, hugging her knees and sobbing.
In recent years, Yan Xi had never felt so vulnerable. She had endured her most difficult times because her two precious children were by her side. She wanted to set a good example for them.
But now, she had lost one of her precious children right before her eyes. Yan Xi suddenly felt so incompetent, unable to protect even the one she cared about the most.
Mu Jing Chen understood Yan Xi's feelings and said caringly, "Xi Xi, it's okay. We will find Zi Tong. Zi Tong is so smart, he knows how to protect himself."
"He's just a child, Jing Chen. He's only four years old. No matter how smart he is, how can he react to difficult situations and protect himself?"
Yan Xi's eyes were red and swollen, and her voice was thick with a heavy nasal tone.
At this moment, Yan Xi couldn't take in anyone's comfort. Her heart was entirely with Yan Zi Tong.
Fu Yan Ting came out of Mu Qingxiang's room and saw this scene.
Fu Yan Ting wanted to go up and comfort Yan Xi, but he didn't know how to start.
He clenched his fists tightly.
For the first time, Fu Yan Ting felt his own powerlessness.
Fu Yan Ting walked step by step towards Yan Xi. Looking at her, he promised, "The child was lost in the Fu family. The Fu family will bear full responsibility. I will find the child and deliver him to you safely."
Yan Xi was so flustered and helpless. Upon hearing Fu Yan Ting's voice, she seemed to have found a pillar of support. She looked up, her gaze fixed on Fu Yan Ting, and asked word by word, "You know where Zi Tong is, don't you? You will find him, won't you?"
Fu Yan Ting did not yet know where Li Qin had taken Yan Zi Tong. However, seeing Yan Xi's eyes, he did not want to disappoint her.
Fu Yan Ting could only softly reassure Yan Xi, "Yes, I know where the child is. I'll go bring him back now. I'll make sure he appears before you unharmed."
Yan Xi had an inexplicable trust in Fu Yan Ting.
She nodded vigorously. As Fu Yan Ting turned to leave, Yan Xi called out to him after he had taken two steps.
Fu Yan Ting stopped, turned, and looked at Yan Xi.
Yan Xi said softly, "I want to go with you to find Zi Tong, can I?"
"Be good and go back to your room to sleep. When you wake up, Zi Tong will be back." After speaking, Fu Yan Ting looked up at Mu Jing Chen and said word by word, "Take good care of her."
Mu Jing Chen knew that Fu Yan Ting had his reasons for arranging things this way.
However, Fu Yan Ting hadn't explained, and he didn't ask further.
He nodded and led Yan Xi inside.
Fu Yan Ting went to Li Qin's house. Li Qin was not at home. Fu Hao greeted Fu Yan Ting warmly upon seeing him.
"Brother, why have you graced my humble abode? Do you have another good project for me to manage at the company?"
Good project?
Hearing Fu Hao's question, Fu Yan Ting couldn't help but sneer.
Two years ago, he had handed over the management of the Shallow Bay villa to Fu Hao. The construction used shoddy materials, and all the residents who moved in started to complain. Fu Yan Ting had to compensate them.
Last year, Fu Yan Ting had entrusted Fu Hao with a listed project. He ended up taking investors to see women. The investors' wives found out, forcing the withdrawal of investment. It was only later that Fu Yan Ting stepped in to resolve the project.
And now, he still had the nerve to ask Fu Yan Ting to hand over projects to him.
Fu Hao seemed to sense the sarcasm in Fu Yan Ting's gaze. He coughed uncomfortably and explained, "Brother, I was also trying to secure the highest interests for the group. Who knew my luck was so bad? Every time it ended up as a loss."
Fu Yan Ting was too lazy to waste words with Fu Hao. He glanced around Fu Hao's house and asked indifferently, "Where is Li Qin? Have her come out to see me."
Although Fu Yan Ting and their family had always had a strained relationship, Fu Yan Ting had never directly addressed his mother by name.
Seeing Fu Yan Ting's lack of politeness, Fu Hao shivered slightly and asked cautiously, "Brother, what's wrong? Has something happened?"
Fu Yan Ting did not answer Fu Hao's question, merely giving him a cold glance. That look made Fu Hao's heart skip a beat. His intuition told him that something must have happened, otherwise Fu Yan Ting wouldn't have appeared at his house so abruptly.
