To avoid harassment from my brother-in-law, I got married to a wealthy man

Shen Congrong's study is relatively traditional, with a square layout. Both walls are filled with red solid wood bookcases, and there is a large rosewood desk. It has both the erudition and calmness of a mature man, as well as the solemnity of years of accumulation.

Shen Congrong pointed to the black leather sofa and said in a deep voice, "Sit down and talk."

"Okay." Fu Nanzhou sat on the sofa as he was told.

Shen Congrong turned on the power of the tea table and prepared to make tea skillfully.

Fu Nanzhou quickly took it over, "Dad, I'll do it."

Shen Congrong did not refuse. He lifted his eyelids to look at his son-in-law and asked casually, "What do you want to see me about?"

Fu Nanzhou's Adam's apple rolled slightly, he put down the teapot, and then stated his purpose, "I want to ask about my aunt."

Shen Congrong frowned, "About your aunt...you mean Jiuer's aunt?"

Fu Nanzhou nodded, "Yes."

Shen Congrong was puzzled, "Why are you suddenly asking about your aunt again?"

"I can't tell you this for now, but please believe me, it must be something extremely important."

Fu Nanzhou had a serious expression and looked directly at his father-in-law without any avoidance.

Shen Congrong tightened his jawline when he heard this, and sighed after a moment, "Ah... Since you asked, you must know something about Jiuer's aunt. She died before Jiuer was born."

Fu Nanzhou nodded, "Yes, I know. My friend found out that my aunt had her throat cut."

"Yes." Shen Congrong nodded heavily.

Fu Nanzhou asked again: "Are you sure that my aunt's throat was cut? I mean, besides my father, was there anyone else who witnessed it?"

"This..." Shen Congrong hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, "We didn't see it with our own eyes. We rushed to the hospital because the hospital called us. When we arrived, the person was already dead."

Fu Nanzhou listened carefully, then frowned and asked in confusion: "It wasn't my dad who called?"

The water boiled, Shen Congrong picked up the kettle and poured it into the teapot. While washing the tea, he shook his head, "No. At that time, your father was knocked unconscious by someone from behind. When we rushed to the hospital, your father had not yet woken up due to a severe concussion caused by the heavy blow to the head."

Fu Nanzhou was stunned, and his voice immediately became cold and gloomy. "So, apart from my father, no one else saw my aunt being killed by someone slitting her throat?"

Shen Congrong immediately understood Fu Nanzhou's thoughts when he heard this, and shook his head and said, "I know what you are guessing, but that's impossible. At that time, Tongtong and my father-in-law and mother-in-law went to confirm it, and the hospital issued a death certificate.

"And you have to know that this is a homicide case, and the medical examiner will be performing an autopsy."

Fu Nanzhou did not refute, but just nodded, "Okay, I understand, what happened next?"

“The funeral was organized by my father-in-law and mother-in-law. Jiuer’s mother and I were not together at the time, so I only attended the funeral with my father.

"At that time, the Wei family had already fallen on hard times. My father was on good terms with my father-in-law. As for the Fu family, the Wei family had done a favor to your eldest aunt, and it was she who attended the funeral on behalf of the Fu family."

"As for the rest..."

Shen Congrong paused for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I can't remember anything else. After all, more than 30 years have passed. This is all I can remember."

It happened so long ago that the memory has long been blurred. The only reason Shen Congrong can still remember these things is entirely because of Wei Yutong.

He naturally paid special attention to the girl he had secretly loved since his youth when something happened in her family. It was also because during that period of time, his father-in-law and mother-in-law blamed his wife for Wei Wushuang's death that he had the opportunity to accompany his wife and had the luck to marry her.

Thinking of his wife's past, Shen Congrong still felt a tight pain in his heart. He was blamed by his family and hated by his future brother-in-law. At that time, Wei Yutong was like a wounded kitten, licking her wounds alone in a dark corner on a rainy night, lonely and pitiful.

Without him, Shen Congrong didn't know how his wife would have survived.

Fu Nanzhou digested Shen Congrong's words carefully. Maybe he was just overthinking it?

Shen Congrong asked again: "Nanzhou, why are you asking about your aunt out of the blue? Do you have any clues?"

Fu Nanzhou thought about it and decided not to say anything for the time being. He just replied politely: "I just checked it out when I heard mom mention it last time. I just asked casually."

Shen Congrong raised his eyebrows slightly. Humph, he was trying to play tricks on him. If he was just asking casually, why would he be so serious?

"Dad, I'm going out first."

Shen Congrong picked up the teacup and prepared to pass it over, "Would you like to have a cup of tea together?"

"No, take your time drinking." Fu Nanzhou politely refused with both hands, then stood up and left.

He was tall and had long legs, so even though the study was very large, Fu Nanzhou still reached the door in just a few steps.

Lu Xi's eyes widened. It was too late to leave. She met Fu Nanzhou's surprised gaze. She immediately laughed and said, "I came to find you. Just now, your girl kicked me. She didn't listen to me and kicked me several times. Do you care?"

Such a lame excuse could be exposed by anyone with a bit of common sense, but Fu Nanzhou was willing to coax her and scolded her belly in a feigned anger: "Don't kick mommy anymore, or daddy will be angry."

Lu Xi couldn't help but smile proudly, "I see that many fathers are daughter slaves. They treasure their daughters as soon as they are born. Is Mr. Fu the same?"

Fu Nanzhou vowed, "My wife comes first, my daughter comes second."

"Hmph." Lu Xi was not jealous of her daughter, she just thought it was fun to tease Fu Nanzhou.

When Shen Congrong heard this, he also walked out of the study and said, "You better do what you say, kid."

Anyway, he didn't do it. When his daughter was just born, she was definitely the first. Later, when his daughter disappeared, his wife became the first.

After returning to Longhu Villa, Lu Xicai asked about what he heard in the study, "Tell me, do you suspect that my aunt is still alive?"

Fu Nanzhou said without reservation, "My dad didn't let me touch Tan Xiangyun today. I suspect she holds something that my dad cares about. But my dad is so cold that he doesn't care about the whole world except for my aunt."

"So you suspect that my aunt is in Tan Xiangyun's hands?" Lu Xi guessed the point immediately.

Fu Nanzhou nodded, "Yes."

"But didn't he cut his throat? How could he still be alive?" Speaking of this, Lu Xi still felt a chill down his spine. How cruel and ruthless must one be to do such a thing? !

I heard that it was a perverted murderer who was committing crimes randomly at that time, and my aunt was just unlucky to run into him.

Fu Nanzhou squatted down and put on slippers for Lu Xi, then explained, "In theory, the time it takes to die from a cut throat ranges from a few seconds to a few minutes. If the aorta is cut, there is a chance of saving it if you hold it down in time.

"Anatomically, the cervical airway includes the pharynx and trachea. If the force is weak, it will only cause damage to the left internal jugular vein or partial separation of the airway.

"Most people who have their throats cut do not die from excessive blood loss, but from choking on the blood. Their airways are partially severed and they will not die quickly. If their airways are unobstructed, they can maintain normal breathing and stop the bleeding, there is a chance for rescue."

"The nearest hospital to the crime scene was ten minutes away. It was late at night and the traffic was not congested. There was a chance that my aunt could be saved. Of course, this is just my speculation."

Lu Xi frowned even more tightly, "Then I don't understand, if she could be saved, why would my grandparents resent my mom for this?"

"Maybe your grandparents don't even know that your aunt is alive?" Fu Nanzhou stood up and helped her to the living room.

Lu Xi thought about it, "What you said is possible. More than 30 years have passed. The only possibility that my aunt is alive but has not returned is that she is controlled by Tan Xiangyun. But no matter how powerful Tan Xiangyun is, can he really imprison a person for more than 30 years?"

At this moment, Lu Xi's heart seemed to be stirred by a huge wave, and she was filled with shock.
