Mrs. Shen.

"Is she Shen Rushan's wife?"

The manager nodded. "Yes, that's right. Oh, by the way, Mrs. Shen said before she left that she would come again tonight and asked us not to touch anything."

Fu Yan suddenly had a bad premonition. The Mrs. Shen the manager mentioned was Shen Wei's mother.

"Can I see the export monitoring?"

The manager surreptitiously glanced at Cao Yuan, who was standing rigidly and expressionlessly on the side. He dared not refuse, so he immediately took someone to the monitoring room and retrieved the surveillance footage of the door.

This private club was booked out last night, hosting ladies attending a party. So there wouldn't be too many outsiders.

Fu Yan saw Song Qing霜 walk in with her own eyes. She kept dragging the progress bar back, and one by one, the other ladies left. Later, Shen Wei appeared at the door, followed by Mrs. Shen. Then no one else came out.

After playing back the surveillance footage until she arrived, Song Qing霜 had not appeared again.

"My mom must still be at the club!" Fu Yanxin panicked. She hasn't left the club, but there's been no word from her. Something must have happened!

The manager pointed in one direction, "Last night they were right..."

Before he could finish speaking, Fu Yan ran past. Cao Yuan chased after her quickly.

"Mom!" Fu Yan cried out loudly.

But nobody responded to her.

She took out her cell phone, her palm was clammy with cold sweat, she almost couldn't hold it steady. How could a perfectly normal person suddenly lose contact?

She dialed Song Qingshuang's number again, but there was no signal. She turned to Cao Fang and asked to borrow his phone, but Cao Fang's phone had no signal either.

The manager took out his phone, "Strange, I have no signal either."

"The signal has been blocked here." Fu Yan looked around, no wonder Song Qing霜's phone had always been out of service.

Cao Yuan narrowed his eyes, strode towards the artificial mountain, and sure enough, he found a signal jammer inside, and switched it off.

The manager's face changed color. "How could this be? Miss Fu, I don't know anything about this."

Fu Yan immediately dialed Song Qing's number. The phone rang with a melodious sound, a piano piece that Song Qing loved very much.

Her nose tingled, her heart pounded against her ribs, and her mind went blank with worry about what she might see.

"The sound came from inside the restroom." Cao Yuan locked his gaze on the direction of the bathroom.

Fu Yan immediately ran up and twisted the doorknob, but the door was locked. She twisted it with all her might, and finally Cao Yuan kicked the door open with his foot!

"... Oh..."

Song Qing霜 was bound tightly with five ropes, lying on the ground. Her hair was disheveled, her eyes filled with fear and exhaustion. A lemon was stuffed in her mouth, preventing her from speaking, only a muffled, hoarse, and indistinct whimper escaping her throat.

"Mom!"

Fu Yan ran over, her hands trembling as she untied Song Qing霜. She cried out of concern. Song Qing霜 threw herself into her arms and sobbed with grievance, eventually fainting from exhaustion.

......

In the hospital.

Fu Yan guarded the bedside. The nurse had just hung glucose for Song Qing霜, and the doctor had checked. Besides the mouth being swollen and congested because of the lemon packing, there were no other injuries.

After a while, Song Qing霜 slowly woke up.

"It was Mrs. Shen......it was her who ordered me to be kidnapped, woohoo..."

She collapsed into sobs, her emotions running high. Fu Yan quickly patted her chest to comfort her.

"Mom, Mom, you should rest and take a nap first. I will definitely get back at them!"

"Woooo... She said she wanted to teach me a lesson, I have no idea what happened. They're just too much!"

"She gasped, a sound like a buzzing hornet. Her chest constricted, an angry lump rising in her throat. The sudden rage nearly caused her teeth to grind together as she fought to control the tremors that ran through her."

Mrs. Shen is Shen Wei's mother. She must have listened to what Shen Wei said and helped her daughter vent her anger. It wasn't about giving Song Qing霜 a lesson, it was a warning to her, telling her to stay away from Huo Mingzheng.
