Chapter 968 Ji Liangchuan's Showdown
"Jiuer, don't worry." Shen Mo was worried that his sister wouldn't be able to bear the blow like their mother did, so he spoke to comfort her immediately, his face full of tension.
But Lu Xi shook her head violently and anxiously grabbed Shen Mo's hand with both hands, "Brother, tell me, where is the baby! Where is my baby?! I... Fu Xizhou, yes, Fu Xizhou was here last night, he knocked me unconscious, and he took the baby away, right?!"
Shen Mo pursed his lips tightly and didn't answer, which was obviously an attempt to avoid the question. But this was already a tacit agreement. Even a fool could guess the answer, let alone Lu Xi?
Lu Xi's heart sank. She let go of Shen Mo's hand, grabbed Fu Nanzhou's collar, and screamed uncontrollably: "Fu Nanzhou, say something, tell me, where is our baby?! Tell me quickly, I beg you...ah..."
At the end of her speech, she almost yelled, her voice sounded like it was torn apart by something, her voice was hoarse and filled with blood and tears, and it made one's heart ache as if a knife was being cut into it.
Fu Nanzhou pursed his lips and held her in his arms again, "Xixi, calm down."
"Our baby is lost, how can you expect me to stay calm? Fu Nanzhou, you are the baby's father, how can you say such cold-blooded words? Aren't you worried at all, don't you care at all?" Lu Xi cried and shook her head, her eyes full of questioning and resentment.
Fu Nanzhou tried his best to hide the pain, "Xixi, you can't say that to me! Do you think I'm not upset? But what's the point of being upset now? The most important thing is to find our baby! How can we find him if we don't calm down?!"
"I know you're anxious, but I still hope you can calm down. At least we know that the baby was taken away by Fu Xizhou. It's not like looking for a needle in a haystack. Do you understand?"
Lu Xi cried and shook her head, "I don't understand why he did this? He always showed up when I needed him. I thought he was my friend and I trusted him so much, but I didn't expect him to stab me in the back. I want to kill him now! Do you know that I want to kill him?! If anything goes wrong with the baby, you will kill him without hesitation to get revenge!"
Fu Nanzhou nodded vigorously, "Okay, I will definitely find him, I will definitely take back our baby, and I will never let him go! But now, I hope you don't cry, don't make a fuss, and be your calm and wise self again, okay?"
It seemed that these words had an effect, and Lu Xi's emotions gradually stabilized.
Tan Xiangjun brought a bowl of noodles and said softly, "Xixi, eat something first. You've been unconscious for so long, your stomach must be empty."
Lu Xi refused, "I'm not hungry and I can't eat."
Tan Xiangjun's eyes were red, tears welling up in them. "I know you can't eat, and I know you must be feeling very uncomfortable right now, but like my cousin said, the most important thing for you is to take care of yourself. You can't collapse before Jiabao comes back, right?"
Lu Xi didn't say a word. She looked lifeless, as if her soul had been sucked out of her. She just sat there with empty eyes, staring blankly at the small bed where Jiabao had slept.
Fu Nanzhou took the bowl and chopsticks, picked up a piece of noodles, blew it cool, and handed it to Lu Xi's mouth, "Be obedient."
Lu Xi still didn't open her mouth.
Shen Mo, who was standing by, immediately became anxious. "Jiu'er, people are made of iron and food is made of steel. If you don't eat, how can you have the energy to look for Jiabao? Your parents are already missing, and you still want to do this. Do you want to see your brother completely collapse because of worrying about you?"
Lu Xi didn't move at all. She looked like she had lost her soul, but in fact she had calmed down.
She was thinking that although Fu Xizhou liked her, he was not the kind of person who would force her, and when he said that she should trust him, it must have included the matter of Jiabao.
Tan Xiangyun kept causing trouble and transferred Fu Nanzhou, her brother, and her sister away from her, leaving her isolated and helpless. In addition, due to her relationship with Fu Xizhou, Fu Xizhou became the person she trusted the most and had the best chance to take action.
But if Fu Xizhou wanted to possess her, he could have drugged her, and he could have taken Jiabao away without anyone noticing, which would have been more deadly.
Therefore, Fu Xizhou didn’t really want to take Jiabao away, but to paralyze Tan Xiangyun.
Although these are just Lu Xi's guesses, she believes in her intuition and judgment.
"Lu Xi!" Fu Nanzhou shouted deliberately and stood up angrily, "Can you cheer up?"
Lu Xi shuddered and raised her empty eyes, "Yes, cheer up, I want to eat."
Although Tan Xiangyun wanted to see them in chaos, she couldn't let her do as she wished easily, because truth and falsehood were the most confusing.

Bay City.
Ji Liangchuan didn't sleep all night and felt a little dazed.
The servant asked him to go downstairs for dinner, but he just said "hmm" and then sat there, waiting for the message on his phone.
"Dad, I'm leaving with your beautiful wife." Ji Xingqi shouted at the door of the study.
Shen Pingting was startled and frowned slightly, "Don't talk nonsense."
Ji Xingqi seemed to realize it late, and he let out an "ah", then stared with his big black eyes, raised his face and stuck out his tongue at his mother, "I'm sorry, mom, because you are my mother, you can't be my beautiful wife, you are dad's beautiful wife, but I forgot to tell dad."
This sounded fine, and Shen Pingting was worried about Lu Xi's situation, so she didn't think about it further. She made a "hush" gesture, then pulled Xiaochuan to leave, without noticing the cunning in Xiaochuan's eyes.
Ji Xingqi thought in his heart: Damn dad, why don’t you come out? I’ve created opportunities for you.
At this time, the door of the study opened.
Ji Liangchuan stood at the door, his handsome face showing fatigue. "Where are you going?"
The sharp gaze fell on Shen Pingting's face, and the questions were obviously directed at her.
Shen Pingting didn't like Ji Liangchuan's questioning tone. She felt as if she was Ji Liangchuan's property. But before she could say anything, Xiaochuan said innocently, "Let's go see my aunt."
"Aunt?" Ji Liangchuan raised his eyebrows.
"Ah..." Xiaochuan covered his mouth, glanced timidly at Shen Pingting, then looked at his father, and muttered softly: "It's over, it's over, Ji Xingqi, you are no different from those six-year-old brats. You are so proud of yourself after finding your mother. Mom clearly said that she wanted to let go of the father and keep the son, not the father."
"Xiaochuan!" Shen Pingting frowned, her voice a little cold.
Xiaochuan grinned, "Mom, I didn't say anything just now. I just said it silently in my heart."
Shen Pingting raised her eyebrows and snorted. It would be strange if she believed him. This little guy was not honest.
But she didn't have the heart to blame her son, and instead looked at Ji Liangchuan, "I'll take Xiaochuan to Longhu and bring him back later."
Shen Pingting said something and turned to leave, but her wrist was suddenly grabbed tightly by a big hand.
Ji Liangchuan's eyes were blazing and sharp, "Why did you bring Xiaochuan with you?"
Shen Pingting frowned, "Xiaochuan wants to follow me."
"Why did Xiaochuan follow you? Why did Xiaochuan say he found his mother?! What did you say to Xiaochuan? What does it mean to kill the father and keep the son? Since you failed to seduce me, you plan to kidnap my son?" Ji Liangchuan asked a series of soul-searching questions.
"Are you sick?" Shen Pingting wanted to shake off Ji Liangchuan's hand, but the man seemed to be deliberately against her. He suddenly increased the strength of his hand and tightly held her wrist.
A dull pain completely angered Shen Pingting. She looked at Ji Liangchuan sternly and said, "Let go!"
"Speak clearly!" Ji Liangchuan shouted.
"I have nothing to say! Jiabao is missing, I want to find my sister, you'd better not mess with me!" Shen Pingting lost her patience, and her voice was filled with murderous intent.
Ji Liangchuan sneered sarcastically, "Nothing to say?! Do you really think I don't know that you are the woman who indulged me with a night of indulgence seven years ago, and it was that night that you got pregnant with my child!"
