Chapter 821: Chapter 819: The Barrage Scam 41
Ah Chen and his group’s phones are unreachable, and there is no signal from the cruise ship either, as if it has completely disappeared on the sea. Naturally, it becomes a major concern the moment it’s reported.
Upon learning that there isn’t any trace of the cruise ship, seemingly vanished in the ocean, Chen Qing’s expression begins to crumble.
Although the police comfort her, saying they will do their best, her emotions can’t be stabilized.
"Someone is targeting my son!"
"He is in danger now, you must find him quickly."
"Arriving late won’t do."
If they’re late, she might only find her son’s corpse, or maybe not even that.
The mere shred of sanity prevents Chen Qing from directly pointing out that Ah Chen is the one behind all this, with her bloodshot eyes seeming quite frightening.
She tries her best not to look at Qiao Chen. If she does, she fears that she won’t be able to resist tearing Qiao Chen apart.
Tearing things apart now might affect their subsequent plans.
Ah Chen thinks Chen Qing is rather enduring; even at this moment, she hasn’t forgotten the plan.
Of course, she also notices that Chen Qing is at the verge of a complete breakdown. As she gradually closes in, it seems Chen Qing won’t be able to take it for much longer.
"Aunt Chen, the police are taking this very seriously. You should take a rest and try not to worry too much; Brother Muyang will be alright." Ah Chen approaches to offer comfort.
Currently, what Chen Qing feels must be a yearning to tear her apart.
Every word she utters is like a heavy tread on Chen Qing’s heart; it would be surprising if the counterpart could tolerate this.
Sure enough, upon hearing Ah Chen’s voice, Chen Qing’s head snaps up sharply, unable to hide her fierce gaze.
Ah Chen certainly wouldn’t suspect anything, outwardly only feeling that the other side is worried about Shen Muyang.
Ultimately, Chen Qing remains silent, clutches her phone tightly, and dials Shen Muyang’s number every few minutes, attempting to get through, which, of course, doesn’t happen; the call remains unanswered.
Tears are already streaming from her reddened eyes, her body trembling uncontrollably, muttering Shen Muyang’s name.
Ah Chen pats her back, softly comforting her.
The current devastation of Chen Qing is imaginable, knowing the truth but unable to say anything, while having to worry about her youngest son.
Two hours pass without any news.
Shen Zhenxiong and Shen Muzhi also arrive, sitting together with Chen Qing waiting for news.
At this moment they remain at the police station, hoping to receive the news firsthand.
However, there has been no signal detected from the cruise ship, nor any trace of it on the sea, as if it has vanished into thin air.
[This time it should succeed, right.]
[Not to mention the effort I’ve put into the arrangement, though it demands quite a sacrifice. True enough, the opportunity presented by Shen Muyang is greater; as long as he steps out, there’s a chance. Rong Yu’s illness is about to be cured, though to avoid trouble, he should continue living abroad; otherwise, recovering abruptly would arouse suspicion, and it wouldn’t do any good to harm him.]
Upon hearing the heartfelt thoughts, the members of the Shen Family cast their gaze collectively towards Ah Chen.
Though they knew it was her handiwork, hearing this still infuriates them.
Perhaps it’s because too much time has passed; the Shen Family feels hope has diminished, showing signs of despair on their faces.
Both Shen Zhenxiong and Shen Muzhi exhibit a struggle in their expressions, yet rationality finally prevails.
In their view, given the situation, breaking things apart now yields nothing; better pretend ignorance and find another opportunity to deal with Qiao Chen later.
Thus, the father-son duo forcefully stifles their rage.
But Chen Qing can’t hold back any longer.
She springs her feet suddenly, throws a fierce glance at Ah Chen, and then shouts at the officer, "I know who is manipulating things!"
Shen Muzhi and Shen Zhenxiong internally exclaim unfavorable, trying to restrain Chen Qing, only for her to fiercely shake them off and rush toward the officer, seemingly frenzied, "I know who hijacked the cruise ship."
Everyone turns their attention to her.
The officer appears somewhat surprised by Chen Qing’s outburst, but not overly so.
After all, the Shen Family isn’t a simple household; it’s normal for relatives to have some clues. Initially silent, such families have their secrets, naturally unwilling to make a fuss about such matters.
"Miss Chen, don’t rush, speak slowly." The officer soothes.
Chen Qing abruptly turns to Ah Chen, her blood-red eyes resembling those of a monster, fierce and violent, seemingly about to leap forward and tear someone apart, swallowing them up.
"It’s Qiao Chen, she kidnapped my son."
"It must be her!"
Chen Qing wants to say more but is pulled by Shen Muzhi and Shen Zhenxiong, in that instant the father-son duo devise a plan.
It’s highly probable Shen Muyang can’t be rescued; exposing things with Qiao Chen at this moment does more harm than good.
With Chen Qing’s words already uttered, there’s no taking them back.
So, it can only be assumed she has gone mentally unstable over her son’s disappearance.
Her commotion might not convince the officer, but they will still investigate Qiao Chen.
If evidence is found, great; if not, the Shen Family still has a way out.
"Mom, what are you talking about?" Shen Muzhi looks puzzled, holding onto Chen Qing. Shen Zhenxiong also grasps her other arm, giving a firm squeeze, symbolizing a subtle hint, urging the other end to say no more.
With hopelessness closing her eyes briefly, Chen Qing internally feels Shen Muyang has met an untimely end; to drag the entire Shen Family down would hinder future revenge plans against Qiao Chen, as she’d become guarded, surely making it difficult.
A family united.
She interprets the father’s and son’s intentions.
"It’s Qiao Chen, sure is Qiao Chen." Chen Qing cries out like a madwoman, "Previously someone reported Qiao Chen, claiming she planned some illegal activities, during which she secretly took my two sons to the manor; if not for the report, it’s likely they would have met misfortune by now."
"Recently, she frequently runs into my two sons, always when they’re drunk; how could there be such coincidences? I reasonably suspect she messed something up. If it weren’t for us happening to intervene, chances are my two sons would have fallen victim."
Chen Qing’s suppressed emotions explode at this instant.
Taking advantage of prior reports, her remarks seem less absurd, akin to a desperate mother casting her net.
Moreover, her pointed events indeed bear certain oddities, even without evidence, the officer would try a probe.
Chen Qing inwardly hopes some evidence can be discovered.
She senses her younger son is beyond rescue, appearing utterly desperate, indeed drawing sympathy.
After being dumbfounded, Ah Chen presents a face of disbelief: "Aunt Chen, how could I harm Brother Muyang? Is there some misunderstanding here?"
"I know you’re anxious and understand, but Brother Muyang encountering trouble isn’t something I wish to see; if you don’t trust, feel free to investigate."
[Investigating won’t yield anything worth noting, huh, last time someone blindly reported; it hit somewhat accurately. But can they unearth evidence?]
[Since so much time has passed, perhaps the surgery has commenced, and Rong Yu will soon recover.]
The accompanying heartfelt voice, infuriates the Shen Family to the core.
