Fu Yu Sheng wanted to ask Song Yan what exactly did she know but he didn't say anything. After all, everything had a time and place, if he were to say anything while they were in public and someone overheard them, then it will only cause more trouble for him and Song Yan. So, despite feeling as if a big boulder was pressing on his chest, he didn't ask the question that he was burning to ask.
The Wu family banquet commenced peacefully, at least as peacefully as it could. Song Yan noticed the brittle smile of the members of the Fu family and how the bottom lips of the women of the Wu family would almost start trembling when they saw any child rushing towards them. Song Yan could understand their pain, in her last life she too went through the same pain as them, she watched her son being murdered right in front of her eyes and couldn't do anything.
That pain was enough to push her to the verge of becoming a malicious ghost, if Master Gu hasn't stopped her on time, she would have killed Song Lan, Chu Lian and everyone else who was behind their deaths.
She knew better than anyone, how it felt when a mother lost her child. This was why she couldn't understand why the Wu family was holding this banquet when the situation in their family was like this—— having walked around the main hall, she returned to Fu Yu Sheng's side who was talking to one of the guests of the Wu family.
" Master Fu, what do you think about my proposal?" The man with the portly belly must have chewed her husband's head for Fu Yu Sheng's lips were thinned to the point that she couldn't even see them anymore.
" I will discuss it my secretary and let you know, Boss Qiu," though mad enough to start cursing a storm, Fu Yu Sheng somehow managed to be polite to the man who has introduced himself as Qiu Mu otherwise known as Boss Mu.
Boss Mu looked disappointed upon hearing such a response but there was nothing he could do, Fu Yu Sheng was a man of high calibre. Everyone in the country has seen how a young man who didn't know the 'B' of business swept the obstacles in his way after the sudden death of his parents and became a fearsome name in the business world.
Fu Yu Sheng might be arrogant but he had all the rights to act in such a way.
After Boss Mu was gone, Song Yan sidled next to Fu Yu Sheng and heard him let out a sigh, she could almost hear the tiredness in it. " Looks like you are having a hard time."
" I am but if you promise to kiss me good night maybe I will feel better," Fu Yu Sheng has long caught hold of Song Yan's psychology. She was completely resistant to his cool and calm facade, it was only when he showed his hooligan side did she showed little emotions.
Sure enough, after listening to his words, her face flushed and she snorted, " Fu Yu Sheng, I never knew that your face was this cheap. You can throw it away at any moment."
" What's the point in keeping my face when I can't even woo my wife?" He delicately shrugged. " I am chasing you, which means that I am literally begging you to give me another chance why will I care about my face in front of you?"
Song Yan didn't say anything, instead, she looked away from his gaze and stared at the group of women who were huddled together, smiling and chattering. " Why is the Wu family holding the banquet when the situation of their family is like this?"
Her abrupt question made Fu Yu Sheng look around the banquet hall, seeing his actions, Song Yan rolled her eyes, " Do you think I am stupid? I have cast a silencing talisman around us, no one other than you can hear me."
Only then did Fu Yu Sheng calm down a little bit before he answered Song Yan's question, " The Wu family believes that whatever is happening is because of them being targeted by one of their enemies. This a more of a power show to warn the one who is eyeing their family and apart from that they also want to lure the one who is behind these kidnappings."
Song Yan understood the reason behind this banquet but what if the person who was behind the killings was someone from the Wu family? The scent of blood was really thick in the mansion itself, with just one sniff she could tell that the children were killed in the house itself.
But how was it possible that no one in the Wu family realised it? If this was the case of child sacrifice then someone from the Wu family would have realised something. How come they still had no idea? And were still thinking of it as a simple case of child kidnapping?
" Is something the matter——" Fu Yu Sheng began but Song Yan realised something grasped his hand stopping him from speaking anything. She quickly snapped her fingers breaking the silencing talisman before she raised her head and looked at the second floor.
Her eyes quivered and she took another careful sniff before almost gagging even Fang Yanli retreated several feet.
Fu Yu Sheng's eyes followed where she was looking and his gaze fell on a young woman who was sitting in a wheelchair she was being pushed by Wu Jin's elder brother —— Wu Dang.
The young woman in the wheelchair had a sickly kind of charm, her thin body that was so weak that it looked like it would be blown away by the wind, and with her size that was too small for the wheelchair she was sitting in, the young woman attracted the pity of the people in the vicinity with ease.
But it was only his wife who was looking at the young woman with shock rather than pity. Seeing her expression, he couldn't help but ask—- " Why are you looking at Wu Jin's sister?"
