Fu Yanchen returned to Haijing, pretending to continue searching for Shen Mengxia, while secretly investigating all of Haijing's less-than-ideal competitors and partners in the business district.

Although no useful clues have been found yet, his swift and decisive methods have allowed him to successfully send a number of elites to infiltrate the other company.

He believed that the fox would eventually reveal its true colors.

He kept Shen Mengxia's phone, which he had found earlier, on his person, taking it out to look at it whenever he had a spare moment. He was fiddling with the phone as usual when suddenly a woman's voice came through, "Yan Chen, can we go now?"

A tall, elegant woman in a sophisticated business suit walked gracefully into Fu Yanchen's office.

"That's about it, we can leave soon. Are you going to see Grandpa again?" Fu Yanchen greeted him politely.

"Yes, I was doing an interview around here this morning, and then I came straight up to find you so we could go back to see Grandpa together." The woman who spoke was Shen Mengqing.

After returning to the Fu family villa, he observed Shen Mengqing intentionally or unintentionally. He couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong, but he felt that she was a bit strange. However, he couldn't quite put his finger on it. On the contrary, his grandfather was very happy to be coaxed by Shen Mengqing.

However, Shen Mengqing, the vice president of the China Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine, is quite capable. After she gave her grandfather acupuncture, the old man's spirits improved significantly.

And so, today, we could hear Grandpa's laughter coming from his room again. Fu Yanchen tiptoed and stood at the door, wanting to hear what Shen Mengqing was saying to Grandpa.

Unexpectedly, she overheard her grandfather telling Shen Mengqing about his childhood.

"Don't be fooled by Xiao Chen's usual arrogant and carefree attitude. As his grandfather, I know he's really suffering inside! It was only after Xia Xia came to this family that I rarely saw him smile."

"Back then, our Xiao Chen was a lively, adorable, and cheerful little boy. But when he was seven years old, everything changed."

"That year, Xiao Chen's father's plane crashed, and his remains were never found. The Fu family was so immersed in grief that they neglected Xiao Chen. He secretly ran away to look for his father, but he was kidnapped by human traffickers. When Xiao Chen was found again, the child had changed. He became quiet and depressed."

Fu Yanchen's gaze was somewhat unfocused, his thoughts drifting slowly into the distance as if guided by a gentle breeze.

At that moment, Grandpa's words, full of vicissitudes and emotions, were like a magic key, gently unlocking the long-sealed door deep in my memory.

After he was abducted, he suffered terribly. The traffickers only gave him scraps of food each day, and beat him if he did anything that displeased them.

There was a little girl locked up with him at the time, whom he called "sister." With her help, they finally found an opportunity and escaped successfully.

But the traffickers soon discovered that the two of them had escaped. In order to cover for him, the young woman chose to expose herself, and as a result, she was caught by the traffickers and taken back.

He stayed where he was, hiding until dark, before finally daring to sneak out and run towards the highway. He managed to escape by hitching a ride on a live poultry truck and hiding among a flock of chickens and ducks.

When he returned with the police to rescue the young woman, she was already gone. Afterwards, he lived with constant guilt towards her.

He had witnessed how perverted those human traffickers could be. Some children who were not good-looking and disobedient would have their hands and feet broken by these traffickers, bend them into strange positions, and be forced to beg on the streets.

Those that are good-looking, young, or don't remember things will be sold directly.

The older ones suffer the worst; they might be killed, have their organs sold, or be forced into prostitution.

He was forcibly tied to a chair by human traffickers and forced to watch a live broadcast. Even though he had his eyes tightly closed, he could still hear the sounds, which made him vomit countless times.

From then on, he felt that the door and window in his heart were sealed off, and he became particularly averse to being touched by the opposite sex. Every time he was touched by someone of the opposite sex, he would take many showers until his skin was raw before he would stop.

Later, in order to preserve the Fu family's business, the mother had no choice but to seek help from Ye's father, and they later had Xiao Ting.

He once thought he would continue to live like a spinning top, or like a machine, until... until Shen Mengxia appeared, as if light shone through the window in his heart again—Xiaxia was that ray of light in his heart.

Moreover, he didn't resist Shen Mengxia's touch at all, but he noticed that Xiaxia and Huaiting were getting closer and closer, so he hid his feelings.
