When Meng Li heard the gunshots, she was so frightened that she staggered back. At this time, people from other apartments began to come out of their apartments. They were all watching what was happening around the corridor. When they saw Meng Li, they couldn't help but ask several questions at the same time.

"Meng Li, what's wrong? Did you turn on the TV again?"

" what is going on?"

"Why did you go out? Where did the gunshots come from?"

But soon their questions were answered when two police officers showed up with a thug-like man who was dragged out of Meng Li's apartment with a gunshot wound to his leg. The man's hands were cuffed with metal handcuffs and he glared at Meng Li fiercely. He seemed to struggle as he approached her, but before he could get close to Meng Li, he was stopped by someone. Pulled back by the police, the person on the left cursed, "Don't make trouble everywhere, or I'll shoot you in the head."

Under the threat, the man stopped struggling, pursed his lips, and let the two policemen drag him away. Seeing the man being dragged away, Meng Li panicked, her face turned pale, her legs softened, and she slid down from the wall she was leaning against.

She knew that people around her were asking her what happened, but she didn't say anything to them because she couldn't say anything. She just sat there, panting, staring blankly at her room, where the warm light was still on, but there were a few drops of blood, left by the man who was dragged away, telling her that what happened was not a dream.

Was she in a hurry to leave the apartment this morning? No, she had locked the door, otherwise the man would not have used other tools to open the door lock. But why would someone want to kill her? She had never seen this man!

Her eyes turned to the blood dripping on the ground, and she trembled when she thought of the long knife in the hands of one of the policemen. If she had not listened to the woman and entered the apartment, then the man hiding in her apartment... He would have killed her!

This thought alone was enough to scare her. Cold sweat had already seeped out of her forehead, and her heart was still beating wildly because of the remaining fear from the gunshot. She almost lost her life to save money! It would be better if she died. She was tired of this kind of life, worrying about many things, making money for this and that, and eating instant noodles every day. But her mother was still in the hospital! If she died, her mother would be kicked out of the hospital, and she would die without a burial place!

If she died tonight, her mother would surely be implicated as well.

She vaguely recalled the words of the rich woman. At that time, she was angry that the woman took advantage of her poor conditions to make quick money. But now she was very glad that she listened to the woman's words. Deep in her heart, she was very grateful to the woman who warned her, otherwise, she would have lost her life tonight.

Thinking of the woman who had helped her and the woman she had scolded, she wanted to slap her face constantly. Instead of thanking the woman, she acted so arrogantly in front of her, but at the same time, she was also glad that she had met a real master. If she could see this woman again in her life, she would definitely thank this woman and ask for her phone number. She could no longer treat what the woman said as a joke.

After Song Yan comforted Fu Yusheng, the two returned home, Fu Chen was waiting for his mother, he sat on his great-grandfather's lap, and his great-grandfather tried to make him understand that there was no need to worry, but Fu Chen was unhappy when he woke up in the morning and didn't see his mother, and he was unwilling to listen to his great-grandfather.

"Chenchen, have dinner quickly, your mother will be back anytime." Grandpa Fu held a spoonful of fried rice with shiny shrimps on it and coaxed his precious great-grandson. If it was a kid who was less stubborn than Fu Chen, he would have been tempted, but Fu Chen did not give in.

He swallowed hard, then turned his head and said unhappily, "I'm waiting for my mother—" Seeing Song Yan walk into the house, he paused. When he saw his mother, the cold thing covering his face melted. Fu Chen jumped off his great-grandfather's lap and rushed to Song Yan's side. His unhappy pouting mouth turned into a gentle smile. "Mom! Where are you? I miss you so much."

"Think about your father sometimes." Fu Yusheng muttered to the side. Song Yan squatted down and picked him up from the ground. Fu Chen ignored Fu Yusheng's words, just like he had always ignored Fu. Since he came back from the hospital, Yu Shen has been trying to curry favor with him. He looked at his father blankly, made a face, and turned to look at his mother. A smile bloomed on his face, and he hugged her neck and said, "Mom, I miss you so much! Don't leave me alone."

Fu Yusheng: Look at this, he is nothing in front of his dad, but in front of his mom he is just a spoiled little thing!
