After crossing, I was forced to hold on to my thighs and build a kingdom

Liu Fudan's posture was seen by everyone.

Although Jin Chu didn't stand up, he had a bad feeling in his heart.

On the other side, the Sun family was also complaining bitterly.

No one knows a child better than his mother. To scare her daring son into losing his composure like this, it must be that the child must have gotten into quite a bit of trouble.

Both of them looked behind Fudan, hoping to see Zhaoer's small figure.

Unfortunately, there is no one behind Fudan.

Jin Chu closed his eyes and was about to speak when Sun's scolding preceded him: "You damned brat, where have you been?"

As she spoke, she reached out and slapped her son's back hard, then avoided everyone and winked at him, "After lunch, you followed Er Nao out to play. It's already so late, and you finally remembered to come back!"

Jinchu stepped forward, interrupting the mother and son's "communication." She stared at Liu Fudan and asked directly, "Fudan, where did you and Ernao take Zhao'er this afternoon?"

Liu Fudan avoided Jinchu's gaze and subconsciously looked at his mother. He saw that Sun shook her head at him slightly.

He pursed his lips, lowered his head and said, "This afternoon, I went to the river behind the village with Er Nao and played all afternoon. I didn't see Zhao Er."

Jin Chu sneered in his heart: "You're starting to lie now!"

Wang Wei, standing by, couldn't stand his deceptive behavior, so he pointed at him and said, "Brother Fudan, where did you and Ernao take Zhao'er? Tell Sister Jin'er right away. The later it gets, the less safe it will be. The sooner you find Zhao'er, the sooner everyone can feel at ease."

Sun was unhappy. Her face darkened and she scolded Wei Yue, "Brother Yue, what are you talking about? Didn't my Fudan make it clear just now?"

She deliberately glanced at Jinchu, then said to Weiyue, "He was hanging out with Ernao all afternoon and never saw Zhaoer at all. How can he tell me where Zhaoer is if you force him to tell you?"

Seeing his mother's support, Liu Fudan's guilty conscience disappeared without a trace. He stiffened his neck and shouted, "Wang Weiyue, who do you think you are? I, Liu Fudan, the dignified boss of Qingxi Village, won't fall for your tricks at all! You'd better put away your little tricks and find someone else to scare!"

"You're still being stubborn!"

Seeing the Sun mother and son playing dumb and cheating, Wang Weiyuan was furious. "Fudan, do you really think you're the only smart one and everyone else is stupid? Go get a mirror and look at your face. Look at how you looked when you saw Sister Jin'er just now. You looked so guilty. Do you really think we're all blind?"

Hearing this, Liu Fudan subconsciously touched his face, and when he noticed everyone's gazes on him, he suddenly put his hand down.

Isn't this enough to make things even more obvious?

Sun secretly cursed in frustration: "What a nasty brat!"

Protecting her son once again, she forced a smile at Jinchu, who was watching coldly from the sidelines. "Jin'er, Zhao'er is missing. I know you're worried as a sister, and to be honest, I'm worried too. But Fudan really didn't see Zhao'er today. You insist on asking Fudan about Zhao'er's whereabouts. Isn't that a bit unreasonable?"

"My mother is right. I haven't seen Zhao'er today, and I don't know where Zhao'er went this afternoon. Why do you all come to ask me when you can't find Zhao'er?" Liu Fudan's lies became more and more fluent.

"Fudan, are you sure you've been with Ernou all afternoon?" Jin Chu, who had been silent, suddenly asked this.

Liu Fudan looked at Jin Chu and nodded.

"Never separated?" Jin Chu asked again.

"We have never been separated!" Liu Fudan replied.

"Okay." Jin Chu smiled slightly and said to Wang Weiyue, "Brother Yue, go to Ernao's house and ask him..."

Jinchu whispered a few words in his ear, and Wang Weiyue's eyes lit up. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, then Sister Jin'er, I'll go to Ernao's house."

Sun and Fudan only heard the first sentence about going to Ernou's house, and never heard the rest.

The two of them suddenly felt uneasy. Sun was still trying to pretend to be calm, but Fudan was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks and paced back and forth.

Finally, Sun couldn't stand it any longer and grabbed him, scolding him, "Sit down, you little brat! You've made me dizzy!"

He then sat down nervously.

A moment later, Wang Weiyou came back. He walked to Jinchu with a happy face, whispered several words in her ear, and looked up at Fudan opposite from time to time.

During this time, Jin Chu kept nodding, and finally smiled: "Thank you for troubling me, brother Yue, please sit down and rest for a while!"

Seeing Jin Chu smile again, Sun's mother and son looked at each other at the same time and felt a chill all over their bodies.

Seeing that the psychological pressure on the mother and son was almost over, Jin Chu calmly stood up and walked over to Liu Fudan. He looked him in the eyes neither lightly nor seriously and said slowly, "Fudan, Er Nao is not your good brother! You said you played together all afternoon, but he said you only played together for a while and then he went home."

"Listen to his nonsense! It was he who came to find me in the afternoon. We went to the river together and played there for a long time before coming back." Liu Fudan was furious and retorted angrily.

"You said you went to play by the river?"

Jin Chu raised his eyebrows, "That's strange again! Er Nao didn't say you were playing by the river, he said you two were playing in the woods at the west end of the village!"

"Er Nao said it was the grove west of the village?"

Liu Fudan subconsciously asked, then patted his forehead as if suddenly realizing something, "Before we went to the river, we did pass by the grove west of the village. Er Nao broke a thick stick there, and we stayed there for a while. Haha, if Er Nao hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten about it."

Jin Chu said "Oh" and looked at Liu Fudan with a gentle smile.

Her gentle smile frightened Liu Fudan so much that he trembled violently.

"Fudan, has Sister Jin'er ever beaten or scolded you before?"

"No." Liu Fudan looked at Jin Chu with a confused look on his face and answered.

"Then why were you so frightened when you saw Sister Jin'er when you walked in just now, as if you had seen a ghost?"

Jin Chu leaned close to his ear and blew a breath, then said sinisterly, "They say if you don't do bad things during the day, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door at night. You're just going back to your own home, so why are you so scared?"

Liu Fudan felt a cold wind blowing past his ears, and turned around to see Jin Chu's cold and silent face in the shadow. Thinking of the fact that she had hanged herself before, and the ghosts she had just said, he suddenly felt a chill running from the soles of his feet straight up to the top of his head.

At this moment, Jinchu's voice, which was deliberately lowered so that only the two of them could hear, rang out again in their ears: "Sister Jin'er, how come you don't know that when you go to the creek in the east, you need to make a big detour and go through the grove in the west?"

Jinchu shifted slightly and spoke frankly, "Ernao said that you were the one who took Zhao'er away. Do you still want to lie to Sister Jin'er now?"

Seeing Liu Fudan's legs trembling, his teeth clenched, but he still didn't say a word, Jinchu gave him one last dose of strong medicine: "Fudan, don't forget that Sister Jin'er died once and has seen ghosts. If anything happens to Zhao'er, Sister might make you see a ghost too!"

"It's not me, it's not me, I didn't intend to kill Zhao'er, I didn't, I didn't!"

With a cry of "Wow", Liu Fudan burst into tears and his tall and strong body could no longer be controlled. He squatted down, curled up into a ball, and started shaking.
