Chapter 438: Chapter 438: You Should Call Me Dad

Shen Yanhe still remembered.

When treating Lu Jing, Lu Yubai had said.

Lu Jing and his mother had once been kidnapped and trafficked, only Lu Jing escaped, while his mother had died.

But the young woman she had just seen bore an uncanny resemblance to Lu Jing, almost as if they were molded from the same cast.

If she were to say she was unrelated to Lu Jing, Shen Yanhe wouldn’t believe it.

Could it be said that Lu Jing’s mother was actually not dead? And had been saved by the Immortal organization?

As Shen Yanhe pondered how to pry information from He Wenna’s lips, He Wenna’s cool voice came, "We’re here."

Shen Yanhe snapped back to reality, glanced subtly with slightly lifted eyes, and surreptitiously surveyed the surroundings.

She now found herself in a corridor with only two doors on either side, surrounded, however, by several burly men in camouflage outfits, holding wooden stocks, and expressionless faces.

The appearance of Shen Yanhe and He Wenna didn’t attract the burly men’s side glances; they were as silent and unmoving as shadows, yet exuded an aura of lethality.

Shen Yanhe sensed the same presence from them as she did from the burly men who had crossed hands with her at the banquet, which slightly tensed her nerves.

These men were strong and very dangerous.

He Wenna was already accustomed to it; before knocking on the door, she searched Shen Yanhe for hidden sharp objects by frisking her.

Only after ensuring that Shen Yanhe didn’t carry any dangerous weapons did she step forward to knock on the door.

"BOSS, I have brought the person."

First, a cough came from inside the room, followed by a hoarse, deep voice, "Come in."

He Wenna turned the doorknob and pushed the door open.

She took Shen Yanhe from the two young men’s hands and pushed her in.

Upon entering the room, Shen Yanhe locked eyes with a man in a black silk pajama sitting on the sofa, wearing gold-rim glasses.

As she clearly saw his features, Shen Yanhe’s pupils dilated.

The man bore a striking resemblance to Fu Yanhe.

Especially the brows, eyes, and the faint smile curving at his lips, he looked exactly like Fu Yanhe.

Shen Yanhe scrutinized him, her gaze growing cold.

This man must be her father-in-law she had never met, Fu Weizhi.

He Wenna nodded slightly towards Fu Weizhi, turned around, walked out, and closed the door.

It was completely silent in the room.

Fu Weizhi felt the gaze upon him but didn’t take it to heart.

He sipped his tea with composure and said softly, breaking the silence, "With your current status, you should probably call me ’Father’."

Shen Yanhe, relaxing her upper body against the back of the chair and easing the pain in her body, smiled faintly at him, "Father? You don’t deserve that title."

Facing the man responsible for her family’s downfall, Shen Yanhe holding back from killing him instantly was merciful enough.

How could she possibly call him ’Father’?

Fu Weizhi did not get angry at her words but instead smiled faintly, "No wonder my second son fell for you. Your temperament suits his taste. He has said the same to me before."

"He should also thank me for sending you to his side."

Shen Yanhe’s brows furrowed slightly, "So, the marriage arrangement between the Shen Family and the Fu Family was your doing?"

"It was me." Fu Weizhi nodded slightly, "I deliberately arranged the marriage with Shen Yingying. Knowing Shen Guowei’s temperament, he certainly wouldn’t let his own daughter marry someone disfigured and disabled."

"So he would have you take her place in marriage. As long as you married into our family, my purpose would be fulfilled."

"I originally thought you and my second son would become a resentful couple and simply struggle through life together," said Fu Weizhi with a hint of regret on his face.

"But unexpectedly, he fell in love with you, and his face and leg were also healed, which surprised me."

Fu Weizhi chuckled with a sneer, his eyes brimming with mockery. "Fu Yanhe has also surprised me beyond expectation; I originally thought he was just a useless person spoiled by my upbringing, but he hid his capabilities so deeply."

"He is also ruthlessly determined, bankrupting the Fu Family just when his wings were full-fledged. Thankfully, I moved our assets quickly, otherwise, I would have really fallen for that young man’s scheme."

Shen Yanhe no longer knew which words to use to describe the surging emotions within her.

She just felt that the man in front of her was undoubtedly a madman.

Taking a deep breath to calm her roiling emotions, she asked coldly, "Did you call me here just to tell me this?"

"Yes and no," Fu Weizhi sipped his tea and said indifferently, "I know you are pregnant now."

Shen Yanhe’s muscles tensed, and she subconsciously protected her belly, her eyes instantly sharpening.

Fu Weizhi didn’t take her reaction into consideration at all and continued, "Don’t worry, I won’t touch you until you’ve given birth to the child."

"However, I hope that after you give birth, you will hand the child over to me for upbringing."

This was the real reason he had summoned Shen Yanhe today.

Shen Yanhe’s expression turned cold, and she scoffed, "In your dreams."

The child was hers.

No one could take the child away from her.

Fu Weizhi, unfazed by her reaction, naturally stated, "I am the grandfather of the child. If the experiment succeeds, I will live longer than any of you. It’s the best choice for me to raise him."

Fu Weizhi toyed with the teacup in his hand, speaking absentmindedly.

"Or do you still think that Fu Yanhe has the capacity to find this place and rescue you?"

Before Shen Yanhe could speak, Fu Weizhi continued, "He doesn’t have that capability..."

He was interrupted by a sudden knock on the door before he could finish.

Fu Weizhi frowned and said coldly, "Come in."

The assistant entered with a slightly somber face, ignoring Shen Yanhe’s presence and said, "BOSS, they’ve found us."

"My men just sent word that a group of people infiltrated the area around the laboratory, and it seems like the leader is Second Young Master Fu Yanhe. BOSS, this place might have been compromised. Should we relocate?"

"And what about Second Young Master? How shall we deal with him?"

Shen Yanhe’s brow slightly furrowed, she said nothing but internally she sighed with relief.

Fu Weizhi’s expression shifted slightly, slowly setting down his teacup. "I didn’t expect him to actually have the capability to find this place."

He looked at Shen Yanhe. "It seems you hold a very important place in his heart."

Shen Yanhe remained silent.

"You go meet him," Fu Weizhi said indifferently, "Just cripple him, don’t kill him."

The assistant bowed slightly, "Yes."

The assistant turned and left.

Fu Weizhi poured another cup of tea, his eyes narrowing slightly as he looked at Shen Yanhe. "You don’t seem worried about him at all, you have so much confidence in him."

Shen Yanhe’s expression was cool. "I have always had confidence in him."

"As for you," she looked at Fu Weizhi, her face showing a hint of a cold smile, "don’t capsize in the gutter."

"Capsize in the gutter?" Fu Weizhi laughed, full of self-assurance, "Impossible."

He was Fu Yanhe’s father.

He had pressed Fu Yanhe into the mud before.

And he certainly could do so now.

"It’s getting late now; for the sake of the child in your belly, you should go back and get some rest," Fu Weizhi said with a smile.

"It won’t be long before I send him in to join you."
