She abandoned her husband first, then her children, and was ecstatic after the divorce.

Chapter 136 Only when they die can things return to normal.

Bo Shicheng frowned, looking at Lin Qingran's tired and worried face, and finally couldn't help but call out to her.

“Miss Jiang, it’s too suspicious that Fu Xingze was sent back like this. Think about it, why is he the only one who came back, while Lingdang is still missing? There must be something we haven’t discovered yet. Moreover, I think someone is taking advantage of the situation…”

Lin Qingran paused, and the sadness in her eyes was replaced by a trace of doubt.

She recalled the details of discovering Fu Xingze and realized that there were indeed many inconsistencies.

"You mean, all of this wasn't just Zhou Lan's arrangement, but possibly someone else's deliberate doing? But what would their purpose be?"

"To stir up the waters even more and profit from it," Bo Shicheng said, "In short..."

Before he could finish speaking, a nurse suddenly ran over.

"Fu Xingze is ready!"

Lin Qingran had no time to say more and hurried to see Fu Xingze.

Fu Xingze finally woke up slowly, but he was clearly still not in the mood.

His eyes were filled with terror and self-blame, and tears welled up the moment he saw Lin Qingran.

"Mom, I failed to protect my sister. I'm so sorry."

Her childish voice was full of self-blame and guilt, and Lin Qingran's heart clenched instantly. She quickly walked to the bedside and gently embraced Fu Xingze.

"Xingze, this is not your fault. You have been very brave."

She gently stroked Fu Xingze's head, trying to soothe his emotions.

But her own tears kept falling, wetting Fu Xingze's hair.

"Family members, please calm down. We still have some questions to ask the child," a police officer reminded them from the side.

Lin Qingran then released Fu Xingze and stepped aside slightly.

The police officer approached Fu Xingze's hospital bed quietly, his gaze gentle and focused, and began to ask questions in a low voice.

"Little friend, don't be afraid. Tell uncle, do you remember how you were kidnapped?"

Fu Xingze's eyes revealed fear, and his body trembled slightly as he answered.

"After I discovered my sister was missing, I rushed to look for her. I don't know how far I ran, I only remember that Zhou Lan suddenly appeared and then I was kidnapped. After that, I don't know why I lost consciousness. My head was dizzy and I had no idea where I had been. When I woke up, I was already in an unfinished building."

His voice trembled with a sob, and his little hands gripped the blanket tightly, as if it were his only source of security.

The police officers exchanged glances, nodded silently, and wrote down his words.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Bo Shicheng summoned Bo Ye.

"At this time, you shouldn't look down on me either."

Bo Shicheng lowered his voice and said, "Don't you think Fu Xingze's return is too strange? Although he's just a kid, his account of his kidnapping is a jumbled mess, and he knows nothing about it. Do you think that's normal?"

Bo Ye's eyes were deep, and he frowned.

“I have the same doubts. Fu Xingze... after all, he's just a child.”

“He’s a child, not his father. As for what secrets there are between them…” Bo Shicheng stopped halfway through his sentence.

After a moment of silence, Bo Ye turned around, tiptoed into the ward, came to Lin Qingran's side, and whispered in her ear.

"Jiuge, come out for a moment, we have something we want to talk to you about."

Lin Qingran looked up and saw Bo Ye's solemn expression. Her heart tightened. She gently patted Fu Xingze, who was still sobbing, and got up to follow Bo Ye out of the ward.

Bo Ye led Lin Qingran to a relatively quiet corner and spoke with a serious expression.

"Jiuge, you must be very careful. Fu Xiuheng's behavior and whereabouts are too subtle."

Bo Ye sighed softly, "A child went missing and then suddenly came back, yet he seemed to have been mentally prepared for it all along. Isn't that strange?"

Lin Qingran felt a surge of panic. Could it be that the person Bo Shicheng was talking about, the one who was taking advantage of the chaos, was Fu Xiuheng?

"But didn't you say before that it shouldn't be him?" Lin Qingran asked doubtfully.

“It doesn’t seem like something he would do, but it’s hard to say whether he was involved,” Bo Ye said meaningfully.

Just as Lin Qingran was filled with doubt, Lin Beichen rushed over, his usually solemn expression now showing a rare hint of joy.

"Qingran, I've found a new lead. We've roughly pinpointed Zhou Lan's location."

Upon hearing this, everyone's spirits lifted.

Lin Qingran's troubled thoughts were instantly interrupted. No matter what, finding the bell was the most important thing.

Bo Ye and Bo Shicheng quickly gathered around, and after exchanging a few words, they set off together with the police.

However, the atmosphere inside the ward was as oppressive as the calm before a storm.

Fu Xiuheng looked at Fu Xingze, who had just woken up, his face terribly gloomy. He approached the hospital bed and questioned him in a low voice.

"Xingze, what exactly did you do? Are you behind all this?"

Fu Xingze's lips curled into a cold smile, his eyes revealing a coldness beyond his years.

“Dad, you don’t need to look anymore. Lingdang and Lin Yuyan won’t be coming back. I just did what I was supposed to do. Now Mom will only love me from now on.”

Fu Xiuheng's eyes widened in disbelief. He tried to find a trace of a joke in his son's expression, but Fu Xingze's cold gaze made him realize that this was the terrible truth.

Fu Xiuheng instantly flew into a rage, veins bulging on his forehead, and shouted loudly.

How could you be so heartless to your own sister! She's so young!

Fu Xingze retorted without fear, "What right do you have to talk to me like that? Do you think you weren't involved? If you hadn't always ignored us, how could our family have become like this? Only when Lin Yuyan and Lingdang are gone can our family of three be the same as before!"

Fu Xiuheng was struck dumb, his body stiffening abruptly. He opened his mouth to retort, but found his throat blocked, and could only stand there in silence.

Fu Xingze was right; this was indeed a scheme orchestrated by Fu Xiuheng.

In order to completely bring down Zhou Lan, Fu Xiuheng deliberately lured Zhou Lan into making a move so that she would expose her true colors.

He also secretly revealed some clues about Zhou Lan to Lin Beicheng to help him collect evidence of the crime.

Fu Xiuheng thought everything was under control, but he didn't expect that Fu Xingze's possessiveness towards his mother would drag Lingdang into this dangerous situation.

But Lingdang is Fu Xiuheng's own daughter!

Fu Xiuheng simply couldn't accept that his plan had put his daughter in such a dangerous situation. He turned around, intending to talk to Lin Qingran and explain everything.

However, Fu Xingze coldly replied, "If you tell Mom, she will never forgive us. You know how much Mom cares about Lingdang; she won't let us off the hook."

Fu Xiuheng paused for a moment, but soon he resolutely walked out.
