The Rebirth of the Fierce Little Cute Girl

Chapter 262: Chapter 261: Suspicion

Speaking of Li Xue’er, Shu Qiang wished he could tear her apart, but then he thought it would be too easy an end for her, so his mind was already filled with countless tormenting methods waiting for Li Xue’er.

”Alright, you go back first.”

Shu Mingbo felt irritated at the sight of Shu Qiang and directly waved him off.

Knowing there was no use staying, Shu Qiang left directly.

Watching Shu Qiang’s departing figure, Shu Mingbo’s expression darkened. Earlier, he was indeed furious but was also testing Shu Qiang. However, Shu Qiang, as expected, was sly and old, adamantly claiming he was avenging Yunfang, without a trace of flaw in his demeanor, and even turned it around to let Shu Mingbo avenge him.

”Hmph... Even if you hide it well, I’ll find out who is backing you.”

With a cold snort, Shu Mingbo picked up the phone on the table and started contacting the people monitoring Shu Qiang, but the answer was the same—no anomalies were found.

After hanging up, Shu Mingbo’s expression became even more grim.

This matter has indeed become tricky; the Shu Family has to swallow this bitter pill quietly. However, no useful information was found on Shu Qiang, whom Shu Mingbo suspected. Moreover, what concerned him more had happened; the Gu Family had also suppressed the Shu Family and even warned him.

”Bang...”

After throwing the teacup in his hand, Shu Mingbo walked back and forth in anger.

”Mingbo, what on earth is going on with Shu Qiang this time? His unauthorized kidnapping not only harmed our Shu Family but also subjected Yunfang to public ridicule, and now she’s too embarrassed to go out,” Ding Yating, who also knew about the recent events, was anxious and rushed in to find her husband.

Seeing his wife approaching, Shu Mingbo tried to suppress his anger and slowly said, ”Don’t worry, the storm will pass soon. Tell Yunfang not to go out for now, and warn her again not to think about Gu Tingyu anymore, we will arrange a better man for her.”

”It’s no use even if I speak to her. Yunfang has locked herself in her room, and no matter how I persuade her, she won’t eat.”

Ding Yating sighed deeply, finally speaking with an angry countenance, ”Should we just let Shu Qiang off like this? He has turned Yunfang into a laughingstock in Shangjing, and he has also caused trouble for our Shu Family with Mo Yiyi’s master and the Gu Family targeting us. We might as well just push him out.”

”Yating, do you really think it was Shu Qiang’s doing this time?”

Hearing her husband’s words, Ding Yating couldn’t help but frown and asked, ”What do you mean by that?”

”I suspect...someone instructed Shu Qiang to do it.”

”This... how is that possible? Who would instruct him to do so?” Ding Yating was puzzled, also doubting if her husband was mistaken. ”He has always been good to Yunfang since childhood, maybe he really wanted to stand up for Yunfang but used the wrong method.”

However, Shu Mingbo thought differently.

”Shu Qiang has indeed cared for Yunfang since childhood, but he’s never been one to act rashly and is actually quite cunning. How could he make such a move this time? Besides, even if he wanted to stand up for Yunfang, shouldn’t he have gone after that girl Mo Yiyi? Why kidnap her mother, and moreover...”

At the end of his speech, a glint appeared in Shu Mingbo’s eyes.

”I’ve also uncovered something interesting.”

”What?”

Ding Yating couldn’t help but ask.

”Mo Yiyi’s mother, Ding Yuejun, was also kidnapped before, but she was truly lucky then. She encountered Gu Tingyu of the Gu Family and was successfully rescued. And again, she was kidnapped this time and got saved by the Xie Family brothers.”

Ding Yating, however, didn’t see the point.

”What’s so interesting about that? I think I’ve heard about this incident too; it seems that the kidnapper took the wrong person. They originally planned to kidnap Jiang Yizi. This incident circulated in the circle for some time back then.”

Shu Mingbo chuckled coldly, ”Once might be a coincidence, but can twice be a coincidence too? How could there be such a convenient thing in the world? Of all people, they chose to kidnap Ding Yuejun. I suspect Shu Qiang’s real target this time was Ding Yuejun, not the girl Mo Yiyi.”

”But... why would Shu Qiang kidnap Ding Yuejun?”

Ding Yating was completely confused.

”This is also something I can’t fathom, it only indicates that someone wants to deal with Ding Yuejun.”

Ding Yating couldn’t imagine who would want to go after such an ordinary middle-aged woman. ”Alright, since you suspect so, investigate Shu Qiang thoroughly. For now, let’s think about how to help Yunfang move past this incident.”

During their conversation, the housekeeper of the Shu Family entered.

”Sir, Housekeeper Ding has arrived.”

Upon hearing this, Shu Mingbo immediately said, ”Let him in.”

After entering, Housekeeper Ding first greeted Shu Mingbo and Ding Yating, then spoke, ”The old madam also heard about the recent events. She asked me to tell you not to worry, she will take care of it.”

Hearing this, Shu Mingbo couldn’t help but smile, ”Then thank the old madam.”

Ding Yating also felt relieved. With her mother and the Ding Family involved, the pressure on the Shu Family would be much less.

On the other end, Yiyi was unaware of these matters. At that moment, she frowned at a few young men before her, saying, ”Get out of the way, or don’t blame me for being rude.” She had not taken Xiao Wang’s car after dinner and was returning on her own from the Gu family’s elders. Unexpectedly, she encountered a few hooligans on the way to school.

”Oh...did you all hear that, guys? This little beauty is gonna be rude to us.”

Tall and skinny, the young man couldn’t help but laugh, looking at the others with amusement on his face.

”Hahaha...”

The others also mocked at Yiyi’s words with full faces of ridicule.

”However...this little beauty is the first to be so calm. Which of those beauties before didn’t scream upon seeing us?”

”Indeed.”

The others echoed in agreement.

By now, Yiyi had no patience left to continue wasting time with these hooligans. Just as she was about to make her move, a shadow swept in like a whirlwind, knocking down the hooligan in front of Yiyi within a few moves.

”Hmph... daring to block the street so openly, today I’ll let you know whether a girl’s path can be blocked at will.” As she spoke, the person quickly attacked again, subduing the remaining hooligans to the ground.

Seeing this person’s remarkable skills, Yiyi curiously glanced at her, only to realize she was a valiant woman. Although her hair was cut short and she dressed rather androgynously, Yiyi certainly wouldn’t mistake her gender.
