A charming widow in her 70s married a factory manager and raised his children.

Chapter 354 He seems to know something

Lu Guoqiang really hated this kid, especially when he thought that the kid was Lu Congyue's, he wished he could kill the kid.

But now he has to rely on this child to make the old man happy, so he has no choice but to endure it.

Guan Jing smiled and said, "Old Lu, Guoqiang grows up and matures quickly once he has a child. He's become very sensible. Now that he's a father, he can't just continue to be idle. Don't you think we should arrange a job for him? He needs to earn money to support his child now."

Lu Sheng glanced at Lu Guoqiang, sighed inwardly, and finally nodded: "You're right. Now that you have a son, he's an adult and has to take on the responsibility of a family. I'll think about it. There's no rush. Let's take good care of the child first."

Guan Jing quickly gave Lu Guoqiang a meaningful look, and Lu Guoqiang obediently agreed, "I'll do whatever Dad says."

Seeing how sensible his son was, Lu Sheng was in a great mood. The more he looked at his grandson, the more he liked him. He felt that there was hope for the future again, so he asked Lu Guoqiang to bring the child over, and the three of them played with the child together.

While the Lu family in the capital was enjoying a harmonious time, Lu Congyue's search for his son failed once again, and he returned empty-handed.

When he got home, Zhuang Qingxiang had just woken up.

Upon discovering that she was lying on the kang (a heated brick bed), she was first filled with anger, and then tears streamed down her face.

"Why won't you let me go out and look for Cheng Lin?!" she asked, distraught. "Cheng Lin is waiting for me to come find him, he's waiting for me..."

"Qingxiang, you need to rest," Lu Congyue said softly. "I know you're upset, but you need to take care of yourself first. What if you collapse before Chenglin even gets back?"

"We still have Yueyue and Donghua. They're very scared of you. Look into Yueyue's eyes."

As Lu Congyue gently comforted her, Zhuang Qingxiang noticed that her daughter's eyes were red and swollen, and she was looking at her timidly.

Little Donghua, being young and naive, perhaps due to a child's intuition, managed to suppress his crying and obediently lean against his sister, his eyes filled with confusion and fear.

Zhuang Qingxiang looked at them, but her mind was only on Cheng Lin.

That was a piece of her flesh, but now she doesn't know where it is. Did the person who took it treat it well?

Thinking of the worst possible outcome, Zhuang Qingxiang was overcome with grief and cried so hard she could hardly breathe.

Startled, Lu Yue quickly patted her back, while Dong Hua, looking silly, imitated her by patting her arm.

Looking at it, Lu Congyue felt as if a huge boulder had fallen on his heart, pressing down painfully and making it hard to breathe.

"Qingxiang, Chenglin will be alright. The police have sent out everyone, Uncle Shang has also asked for help, and Sister Shang has been helping to search these past few days. With so many people helping, we will definitely find him."

"Don't mention Shanghua to me!" Zhuang Qingxiang shouted as if triggered by a sudden reaction. "She's the one who lost my Chenglin! It's her!"

"I know, I know, but she didn't do it on purpose. Nobody expected this..." Lu Congyue tried to reason with her.

He had felt angry and resentful, but it was no use.

In the past few days, he had personally witnessed the Shang family's wholehearted efforts to help find the child, and Shang Hua had also shown great remorse and worked very hard, so he couldn't say anything more.

Lu Congyue also wanted to ease the relationship between Zhuang Qingxiang and Shang Hua, which made Zhuang Qingxiang even more agitated.

Just when it seemed that they were about to lose their composure, Sun Yongxian and Shi Peiran finally arrived.

Hearing Zhuang Qingxiang's excited shouts, Sun Yongxian dropped what she was holding and rushed inside.

"Sister Zhuang, Sister Zhuang, I'm here! How are you? Are you alright?"

When Zhuang Qingxiang saw her, she burst into tears: "I'm not okay! Chenglin hasn't been found yet! I'm not okay at all! Yongxian, do you think my Chenglin can come back?"

Sun Yongxian's eyes immediately reddened. She hugged Zhuang Qingxiang and cried out, "They will definitely come back! They will definitely find them!"

Shi Peiran followed her in and, seeing how agitated Zhuang Qingxiang was, hesitated for a moment before deciding not to administer any medication to calm her down.

It would be best if they could calm down on their own; medication should be avoided if possible. Besides, he still has things to say once they've calmed down.

After Zhuang Qingxiang and Sun Yongxian had a good cry and their voices had calmed down, he finally spoke: "Sister Zhuang, there's something I want to tell you."

Zhuang Qingxiang looked up with tearful eyes: "What is it?"

"It's Huang Yuejin." Shi Peiran frowned slightly, considering his words carefully. "I think there's something strange about him."

Zhuang Qingxiang was taken aback, then suddenly realized: "You mean he took Cheng Lin away?"

She immediately got off the kang (a heated brick bed) to find Huang Yuejin.

"Qingxiang, calm down and let Peiran finish speaking." Lu Congyue supported her, his voice also becoming deep.

Others had warned them that Huang Yuejin might retaliate, but since Huang Yuejin hadn't made a move for so long, they thought everything was fine...

It was their negligence; it's their own responsibility!

Lu Congyue's eyes were gloomy.

If anything happens to Cheng Lin, he will make Huang Yuejin wish he were dead!

He can hunt, and he can kill!

"Director Lu, Sister Zhuang, please don't misunderstand." Shi Peiran said hurriedly when he saw their expressions were off. "I'm not saying that Huang Yuejin did this, but I think he should know something."

These past few days, Huang Yuejin has been wandering around the neighborhood, inquiring about Cheng Lin's whereabouts.

Just now, when Lu Congyue went to find them, Huang Yuejin followed them at a distance.

Even as soon as Lu Congyue left and was about to ride his bike home, Huang Yuejin followed him and chatted with him, subtly inquiring about the child.

"Did he know the news, or was he gloating?" Lu Congyue frowned.

Given Huang Yuejin's personality and behavior, he felt it was very likely that he was gloating.

Zhuang Qingxiang suddenly perked up and said firmly, "He must know something. He wants to tell us something. That day, the day Cheng Lin went missing, we ran into him when we left the alley. He seemed to want to say something..."

"Yes, he must know something. I have to find him, I absolutely have to find him!"

Zhuang Qingxiang put on her shoes and left. No one could stop her in time. She stumbled as soon as she stepped out of the bedroom door and almost fell.

Lu Congyue quickly helped her up: "Don't rush, let's go together. That day was my fault. Let's go find him. If he's willing to talk, I'll kneel down and beg him to admit my mistake."

Zhuang Qingxiang paused, a plan forming in her mind.

Lu Congyue does not need to kneel.

Isn't Huang Yuejin just after that house?

She's willing to give anything as long as Cheng Lin can be found! She'd even give it away for free!

"Director Lu, Sister Zhuang, I'll go with you. At least I'll have some face in front of their family," Shi Peiran quickly said.

They asked Sun Yongxian to look after their two children, and the three of them headed straight for the alley.

When they arrived at the Huang family's house, it was already completely dark, and the elderly couple were preparing to go to bed early.

Three unexpected guests suddenly arrived, making Grandpa Huang very nervous.

"What are you doing? Dr. Shi, what do you want with these two people?"

Shi Peiran hurriedly said, "Uncle Huang, don't be nervous. Director Lu is here to see Huang Yuejin."

Upon hearing that they were looking for Huang Yuejin, Grandpa Huang became even more nervous.
