Chapter 623 Lost and Distraught

Shen Qingqing later received a call from Colin.

"Mr. Shen, just as you predicted, Sima Feng wanted to make a move on that nurse. I stopped him. Tsk tsk, you should have seen his face then, it was so ugly!"

Shen Qingqing said calmly, "You'll need to keep a closer eye on things."

Colin's tone was serious, "I know, don't worry."

Afterward, Shen Qingqing discussed the matter with Fu Jingshu.

Fu Jingshu did not hide his admiration for his wife, "Well done."

Shen Qingqing raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Although I haven't dealt with Sima Feng directly, after these few incidents, I understand. As the saying goes, like father, like son. There's truth to that."

Sima Yucheng's disposition was inseparable from Sima Feng's upbringing.

Looking at how he agreed to cooperate and then reneged, it was clear that Sima Feng, like Sima Yucheng, was not a trustworthy person!

Just then, Shen Qingqing received a call.

It was from an unknown number.

Sima Yucheng's somewhat frantic voice came through, "The debt collectors have already come to my house. Seeing me in this state, are you very pleased?!"

Shen Qingqing said indifferently, "Moderately."

Sima Yucheng said furiously, "I'm telling you, even if something happens to me, I won't let you off easily. I know you've been looking for your son."

Shen Qingqing's expression shifted slightly, but her tone remained unfazed, "How much do you know? You couldn't possibly know where he is now."

"Then you're mistaken."

Shen Qingqing snorted, "Fu Tingyi never truly trusted you, otherwise you wouldn't have ended up like this."

Sima Yucheng gritted his teeth in anger, "I'm not afraid to tell you, I know where that child and Fu Tingyi are right now."

Shen Qingqing remained silent.

Sima Yucheng pressed on, "I saw him just before the incident. Otherwise, how do you think that gambling agreement was signed?"

"What do you want?"

Shen Qingqing knew that the other party wouldn't bring this up for no reason. He must want something, so she decided to be direct.

"I want you to help me pay off my debts!"

Sima Yucheng started with an exorbitant demand.

Shen Qingqing sneered, "Do you think I'm an ATM? This debt of yours is no small sum, and I can't gather that much money in a short period."

Sima Yucheng said hatefully, "If you can't come up with the money, don't blame me for being impolite!"

With that, he hung up the phone.

Fu Jingshu said in a deep voice, "I'll have someone 'invite' him over."

The "invite" he mentioned was not meant literally.

Shen Qingqing said unhurriedly, "No rush, we don't need to do anything ourselves."

"You're planning to?" Fu Jingshu's eyes gleamed.

"Since there are already people available, why should we do it ourselves? Moreover, he's currently a person of interest to the police. If we act, it'll be too obvious."

Shen Qingqing smiled slightly, a hint of slyness, a touch of wickedness in her smile.

She took out her phone and dialed Officer Wang's number.

When Sima Yucheng heard the knock on the door and opened it to see Officer Wang, he was completely stunned.

Although he had signed a gambling agreement and owed a sky-high debt, this had nothing to do with the police. Why was Officer Wang here?

"You'll need to come with us."

Officer Wang, with a stern face, took him to the police station's interrogation room.

Sima Yucheng still didn't know what he had done wrong until Officer Wang played a recording. The recording was of the conversation he had with Shen Qingqing.

"You've committed extortion. Furthermore, that child is currently a person we are actively searching for. Since you claim to know his whereabouts, answer truthfully."

Cold sweat broke out on Sima Yucheng's forehead.

Good job, Shen Qingqing, secretly recording him and then handing it directly to the police!

Although later, due to lack of evidence and only a recording, he insisted he was only trying to scare Shen Qingqing.

The police issued him a warning, detained him for 24 hours, and fined him before releasing him.

However, when Sima Yucheng left the police station, he discovered that his properties had been sealed, and even the only subsidiary under his name had been frozen.

He now had nothing.

Sima Yucheng had only a mobile phone and a thousand yuan in cash in his pocket, the thousand yuan being what he had previously used as a tip.

The payment apps on his phone were also frozen.

He stood on the street with his phone, bewildered and despairing, completely unsure of what to do or where to go.

He didn't even have a place to stay that night!

Suddenly, he caught sight of someone emerging from a shopping mall out of the corner of his eye – it was Shen Qingqing. The string of 'resignation' in his mind snapped.

Sima Yucheng charged towards her without hesitation!

Before he could get close, a small figure rushed out and stood in front of Shen Qingqing. Shen Jinxi's face was fierce, "What are you doing?!"

When he had infiltrated the other party's computer before, Shen Jinxi had seen a photo of this person and remembered his appearance clearly.

Therefore, he recognized him at a glance.

Sima Yucheng stopped, still possessing a sliver of reason, and did not attack the child, "Move aside!"

The newcomer was clearly hostile!

Shen Jinxi was even less likely to move aside, "It's broad daylight. If you dare to do anything reckless, I'll call the police immediately!"

Sima Yucheng looked at Shen Qingqing, "Coward, letting a child protect you?"

Shen Qingqing also walked over. Seeing Shen Jinxi, she picked him up, subtly blocking him, and looked coldly at Sima Yucheng, "What else do you want?"

Sima Yucheng sneered, "You've ruined me to this point, do you think I'll let you go?!"

With that, he lunged at her with flailing arms!

Shen Qingqing dodged to the side. Observing his ferocious expression, she immediately put the child down, ready to teach him a lesson.

But before she could act, her wrist was grabbed from behind.

The person was over 1.8 meters tall and extremely strong, but with just one hand from behind, he was rendered unable to move.

"Who? Let go of me!"

Sima Yucheng struggled to turn his head and saw Fu Jingshu. While they had maintained a distance before, standing this close, he realized Fu Jingshu was even taller than him.

Fu Jingshu's eyes were lowered, exuding an imposing aura.

"Get lost."

As Fu Jingshu released his grip, Sima Yucheng stumbled back a few steps, clutching his wrist, his face a mixture of anger and apprehension. He dared not advance.

Fu Jingshu strode to Shen Qingqing and her son, his tall body shielding them, his sharp gaze fixed on Sima Yucheng.

Sima Yucheng felt his scalp tingle under the intense gaze. His legs felt as if they were filled with lead, unable to move forward or backward, yet unwilling to retreat.

"You're bullying me too much!"

Shen Qingqing poked her head out from behind Fu Jingshu, "Give up. You can't possibly gain anything from us. Besides..."

She glanced at the tall, handsome man in front of her.

His handsome face was filled with indifference and sharpness. Just his immense presence was enough to suffocate Sima Yucheng into silence.

Sima Yucheng's chest heaved violently, appearing on the verge of collapsing from anger.

However, at the peak of his rage, he seemed to deflate all at once, slumping to the ground, his face a picture of utter desolation.
