dilemma, not knowing what to do, the village chief pushed the door open and came in."Xiao Lu, Xiao Yao, the meal is ready, come and sit down." The village head greeted enthusiastically.Lu Hanchuan gav...He didn't think much about it, at least not about Fu Xiaoyao.

"Excuse me, General Shi, where did you hear about what happened during the day" Lu Hanchuan tightened his grip on the phone slowly.

Shi Mo, of course, could hear the suspicion in his voice. He smiled nonchalantly and then repeated the reasons he had given Shao Si Nian and Fu Xiao Yao.

It's still reasonable, Lu Hanchuan couldn't find any problems, so he let it go.

At that moment, Shi Mo, for some unknown reason, suddenly said, "President Lu, regarding Miss Fu's affair, it is truly a great regret. Please accept my condolences."

"She's not dead!" Lu Hanchuan's eyes narrowed, his voice a low growl.

Shi Mo raised an eyebrow, feigning surprise, "Not dead But I heard that Miss Fu was caught in a fire..."

"She's just missing!" Lu Hanchuan interrupted him sharply, "I will find her!"

Upon hearing Lu Hanchuan's confident and unwavering words, Shi Mo's expression shifted slightly. For a fleeting moment, he felt an urge to reveal the information about the person who had contacted him.

Fortunately, reason ultimately triumphed over impulse. He swallowed the words he was about to say and changed his tune, saying, "In that case, I wish Mr. Lu all the best in finding Miss Fu soon."

Lu Hanchuan's icy face improved slightly because of Shi Mo's words.

But he didn't reply, and directly hung up the phone.

"What were you just about to report Just say it," Lu Hanchuan tossed his phone onto the bed and finally looked directly at Qiao Mu, who had been acting invisible.

Joe was a little excited, thinking about how long he'd been here and wanting to give back. But as soon as he opened his mouth, Lu always told him to shut up.

Now Lu Zong finally understands and is willing to listen to his report.

Joe's heart was moved, but on the surface he opened his mouth very seriously. "It's like this, President Lu, the fire department called me not long ago, saying they found a body at the scene."

"A corpse" Lu Hanchuan's face changed drastically, and the aura around him became chaotic.

Could it be Fu Xiaoyao

It seemed that Qiao Mu had seen through Lu Hanchuan's thoughts, and shook her head, saying: "Lu總, the corpse wasn't Mrs. It was a male."

"Male" Lu Hanchuan's emotions calmed slightly upon hearing it wasn't Fu Xiaoyao, but his face remained grim.

"Where is the male" he asked, frowning.

Joe pushed his glasses up. "Mr. Lu, you forgot about Fu Zixuan"

"You're saying that the body is Fu Zixuan" A flash of surprise crossed Lu Hanchuan's eyes.

qiao nodded, “Yes, the fire department told me it was a male body when I first suspected something was wrong because I remembered that before the explosion, my wife said Fu Zixuan might still be there. So I had someone go to the Fu residence to look for Fu Zixuan’s toothbrush. After DNA comparison, the body was indeed his. He was tied up and burned alive.”

"Is that so," Lu Hanzhan said after hearing this. Apart from the brief surprise he felt when he first learned of Fu Zixuan's death, there wasn't much fluctuation in his expression now as he heard about the brutal nature of his demise.

He thinks that someone like Fu Zixuan is not worth living.

"Tell the Fu couple to come to the police station to collect the body when they're free!" Lu Hanchuan pressed his brow and ordered.

Qiu Mu immediately replied, “I have already notified him.”

"That's good." Lu Hanchuan put down his hand, then his eyes flickered twice, and asked, "Only one corpse"

Qiao Mu was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and replied hurriedly, "Yes, I searched the entire ruins thoroughly. Only Fu Zixuan was found. There was no Madam, which means that Madam might be really still alive."

He knew very well that Mr. Lu never believed his wife could have died in the fire. This was evident from his recent phone call, so of course, he followed Mr. Lu's lead and spoke accordingly.

And now he was starting to believe that his wife might still be alive. If she had truly been consumed by the fire, she should have been left as a corpse like Fu Zixuan, instead of only Fu Zixuan's body being found.

Therefore, he was thinking that his wife must have either escaped the industrial district before it was engulfed by the fire or been rescued. Of course, the former was unlikely, given her frail health; she could never outrun the speed of the fire with only her legs.

If it were the latter, who had such ability to accomplish that, and rescue Madam in that situation

Before Qiao Mu could figure out the problem, Lu Hanchuan ordered again, "I want you to dispatch two platoons of soldiers to continue searching around the industrial zone. You must find him for me."

Qiao Mu didn't agree immediately, instead asking: "General Lu, what if Madam isn't in that area"

Lu Hanzhan pursed his thin lips, "Then retrieve the surveillance footage from all road sections in that area and see if it captured her leaving."

"Yes!" Qiao Mu this time had no objections and took on the task.

"Also, what did Qi Ya say to that driver" Lu Hanchuan had a headache and sat down at the bedside.

" Qiao Mu lowered his head in shame. "Mr. Lu, they still said that Madam got out of the car herself to look for Fu Zixuan."

"No punishment" Lu Hanchuan's voice was light, but if you listened carefully, you could hear the bone-chilling coldness in it.

Joe scratched his head, "I used it, but only on the driver. Qi Ya didn't get it."

Upon hearing this, Lu Hanchuan's narrowed phoenix eyes clearly revealed a look of dissatisfaction. "Give me a satisfactory reason."

"She's pregnant." Joe glanced at his expression quickly.

Lu Hanchuan was now truly shocked, "Pregnant"

“Yes, it’s almost three months now. Three months ago, Roland was just in City C.” Qiao Mu explained softly.

Therefore, it is self-evident who the child in Qi Ya's belly belongs to.

Lu Hanchuan sneered, "She's pregnant just in time, isn't she Well then, let's give her a temporary reprieve for now. As for that driver, break one of his legs for me. A driver who takes money and doesn't do his job, not even stopping to let the madam out of the car, what use is he!"

"Yes!" Qiao Mu nodded.

He wasn't surprised by the order given to Lu Hanchuan, nor did he find it inappropriate in the slightest. He even felt it was a bit lenient.

The driver's actions are tantamount to letting his wife die!

"Then I'll go do it." Thinking this, Qiao Mu was about to leave.

Lu Hanchuan called out to him, "Wait a moment."

"Mr. Lu, do you have any other orders" Qiao Mu stopped in his tracks.

Lu Hanchuan clenched his fists, "Take that driver to Qi Ya's place and beat him in front of her. Since she's pregnant, her body can't be harmed, so torture her mentally."

Hearing this, Qiao Mu silently felt a surge of sympathy for Qi Ya in his heart. He was truly worried that she would be so scared that she would have a miscarriage.

Click.

The front door closed again.

In the vast room, only Lu Hanchuan remained. He sat hunched on the edge of the bed, his tall back slightly bent. His hands were crossed, and his head was bowed low. His hair fell down, casting a shadow over his sharp face, obscuring his eyes and expression from view.

But the aura surrounding him was icy and low, like a wounded lone wolf, making people afraid to approach.

He absolutely didn't believe Qi Ya and the driver's tall tales.

Fu Xiaoyao would absolutely not get off the car for Fu Zixuan. In her heart, there might be a little bit of familial affection for Fu Zixuan, but that little bit is definitely not enough to make her take such a risk in that situation.

Besides, she was pregnant. He knew better than anyone how much she cared about the child in her womb. For the sake of the child, she wouldn't get out of the car. So, Qi Ya and that driver must have something to do with it!n didn't respond.Fu Xiaoyao shrugged. "Well, it seems I don't have that honor. But I agreed to Mr. Lu's invitation just now, but I have a request."She playfully smiled at him.Lu Hanchuan frowned. "Wha...
