Chapter 231 Something happened
"Then let's not," Chen Youen said. "If we can't afford to offend them, let's just stay away. Let's go somewhere else to relax."
Shen Feiwan leaned back in her chair, gazing absently ahead. "We'll see when the time comes."
The car smoothly entered the research institute's compound. When the gate opened, Chen Youen even rolled down the window and nodded to the gatekeeper in greeting.
Shen Feiwan was slightly surprised, "Wow, you're already so familiar with the security guards."
“Hehe,” Chen Youen tapped her fingertip lightly on the steering wheel, her eyes curving into crescents, “This tactic of mine is called a roundabout strategy, or you could say a roundabout way to achieve my goal. First, I’ll build good relationships with the people around him, thereby indirectly integrating into his life and gradually closing the distance between us.”
Shen Feiwan chuckled, "You call this indirect? I think it's direct intrusion."
Chen Youen's ears turned slightly red, and she used the gesture of looking in the rearview mirror to hide her smile, "You made me feel embarrassed."
"What's there to be embarrassed about?" Shen Feiwan turned to look at her. "When did you become so thin-skinned?"
"Okay, I'll tell you the truth." Chen You'en suddenly gripped the steering wheel tightly, revealing her nervousness. "Actually, Shen Xubai and I already kissed. But I pretended to be drunk and pretended it was an accident... The key is that he didn't push me away, you know? But I was too scared to face him at the time, so after the kiss I pretended to be drunk, and in the end he carried me back to bed, ahhh, you understand?"
"..." Shen Feiwan was speechless. "Sorry, I don't understand. Isn't this too innocent? I thought you two had already slept together because you were so excited, but this is what happened?"
"Hmph! You don't understand that feeling. My heart was pounding like crazy."
Shen Feiwan's gaze fell into the distance. "It's been a long time since I've felt this way, but recently I've had a feeling of my heart stopping."
"Oh? When?"
Shen Feiwan did not answer.
It was on the snowfield of Holmes that Bo Junxing was sleeping soundly with his eyes closed, leaning against a large rock. His thick eyelashes were covered with fine snow, and his face was so pale that it was almost transparent. At that moment, I really thought he was dead.
Later, after dealing with the assassin and returning to the house, he was lying on the sofa with a persistent high fever. His flushed face and weak breathing caused her heart to stop for a moment.
Shen Feiwan's silence caught Chen Youen's attention, but by then the car had already arrived at Shen Xubai's dormitory building, and Chen Youen was busy reversing the car, so she didn't have time to talk to Shen Feiwan.
Only after the car came to a complete stop did Chen Youen release the steering wheel and look at Shen Feiwan in the passenger seat. "Why are you so quiet? When did you start feeling like you had a cardiac arrest?"
Shen Feiwan's gaze pierced through the windshield, staring straight outside, and she suddenly uttered two words, "Now."
"Now?" Chen Youen instinctively felt that something was wrong and looked ahead in the direction of Shen Feiwan's gaze.
At that glance, Chen Youen's heart stopped.
Because she saw Shen Xubai being taken away by several people in police uniforms.
They didn't even have time to unbuckle their seatbelts before they watched helplessly as Shen Xubai was put into the police car.
The police swiped their phones and drove off.
Chen Youen quickly restarted the car to give chase.
She turned the steering wheel sharply and violently, even scraping the car in the next parking space, but they couldn't care less about that at the moment.
"Be careful!" Shen Feiwan suddenly called out a warning.
A silver sedan suddenly turned out from in front, and Chen Youen hurriedly stepped on the brakes, narrowly avoiding a collision.
The other driver rolled down his window and yelled angrily, "Can't you drive?! Are you looking to get yourself killed?!"
Shen Feiwan knew that Chen Youen was no longer fit to drive. She calmly unbuckled her seatbelt, looked at Chen Youen, and said, "I'll drive."
Chen Youen was also still shaken, and the two quickly got off the bus and switched places.
The car drove smoothly out of the research institute gate, but by this time it had already distanced itself from the police car, and encountered a red light at the first intersection after leaving the institute.
While waiting at a red light, Chen Youen said, "Did you see that? Those police officers have the words 'National Security' written on their vests. They're not ordinary police officers. But I don't believe Shen Xubai would do anything that would endanger national security."
“I don’t believe it either.” Shen Feiwan stared at the red light ahead, her expression serious. “You’en, take out my phone and call my dad on speakerphone. They know more about my brother’s affairs than I do.”
Chen Youen quickly rummaged through Shen Feiwan's bag and took out her phone.
Shen Feiwan immediately gave the power-on password.
After unlocking the phone, Chen Youen dialed the number of Shen Feiwan's father, Shen Mo.
A long waiting tone came from the speaker, eventually turning into a busy tone.
"No one's answering," Chen You'en said anxiously, glancing at the time. "Could Uncle Shen be in a meeting or something at this hour?"
"Then call my mom again."
"it is good."
However, Gu Mingxi's phone also went unanswered.
Chen Youen dialed twice more, but the result was the same.
"It can't be such a coincidence that Aunt Gu is also in a meeting," her voice trembled slightly. "I'll try again."
Shen Feiwan's brows furrowed even more. "Then call my second brother."
Calling her second brother was the only option left.
What's even more worrying is that no one answers the phone to Shen Feiwan's second brother either.
Shen Feiwan's bad premonition grew stronger and stronger.
It's impossible that you can't get through to everyone, especially her mother, Gu Mingxi.
Even if she's in a meeting, she'll have her staff bring out the conference room to answer the call if it's her daughter calling. If she's busy with something important, she'll hang up immediately, instead of refusing to answer like she is now.
The air inside the carriage seemed to freeze. Chen You'en was extremely anxious. "How could this happen? Will Shen Xubai be in trouble?"
Shen Feiwan reached out and gently patted her leg. "Don't worry, look at you, you're even more anxious than me."
"That's the National Security Bureau! Do you know how long Shen Xubai works every day? He's sacrificed so much for his research, and he was taken away without a word! I'm not having it!"
The red light turned green, and Shen Feiwan stepped on the gas. "There's no use being anxious now. There's always a way."
The car smoothly crossed the intersection and chased after the direction in which the police car disappeared.
As the distance between the two vehicles gradually decreased, the police car in front suddenly stopped.
Shen Feiwan had no choice but to slam on the brakes.
Soon, two uniformed police officers strode towards them.
One of them knocked on Shen Feiwan's car window.
Chen Youen immediately went to unbuckle her seatbelt, but Shen Feiwan grabbed her wrist.
Upon noticing Chen Youen's movements, the police officer outside the car immediately placed his right hand on his sidearm and shouted, "Don't move!"
Shen Feiwan slowly raised her hands. "Officer, we have no weapons and no other intentions. I just saw you take my brother away in the researchers' family building, and I want to know what happened."
