Chapter 565: A Divine Intervention Somewhere Somehow

Shangguan Yanqiu took a glance at her son. “Can I?”

She could not remember the number of times she was met with such a fleeting encounter that gave her hope and then despair. Yet, Shangguan Yanqiu could not stop herself from getting to the bottom of it.

Fu Qingxuan nodded his head, afraid she would face another disappointment yet did not have the heart to refuse her. It was the same thing over and over. They were never closer to finding Dad. He could take it, but Mom was his concern.

“Madam Fu, wait for me and Young Master Fu at the café while we look around.” Yu Qiubai pointed at a nearby coffee shop.

Shaking her head, Shangguan Yanqiu looked at him. “I’m going with you. Let Xixi wait here.”

It was only right to join the party. Shen Xi chimed in, “I’m coming along.”

Since there was no point to continue the day of fun after what happened, the group went searching around.

If they were not in China, Fu Qingxuan would get right down to tracking the car and person. He had to be certain regardless of whether it was all in Mom’s head.

Nevertheless, Fu Qingxuan had no connections here and really did not want to get into it with Qingli. It would only expose his trip with Mom to China if he were to tell Qingli. Not to mention, they were staying at Meanie’s place.

Since the Yu family lived in the wealthy end of Sunnyside, Yu Qiubai was familiar with the place and was able to request the surveillance video from the neighborhood security with ease. They checked the surveillance and listed families who owned a silver Bentley before visiting those households.

Those living in Sunnyside belonged to the upper-class society, so it came as no surprise they owned a few fancy cars. Of course, Bentleys would be part of their auto collections.

These privileged families were willing to answer a few questions thanks to Yu Qiubai, albeit they were not able to find the person they were looking for.

“Madam Fu, we might have missed him. I’ll check the surveillance and look one more time.” Yu Qiubai was not discouraged.

“It’s fine. Sorry to trouble you.” Shangguan Yanqiu could not hide the disappointment in her eyes. Still nothing. She was mistaken again. Yu Qiubai and her sons went through a lot of trouble because of her hallucination.

“It’s okay. I’ll keep looking,” added Yu Qiubai. “It’s time for dinner. I know of a century-old restaurant specialized in local dishes. Let me take you there.”

By his side, Shen Xi knew what the d*mn fox was up to. There was no such thing as a free lunch in his books. He was trying to make nice with the Fu family, but Shen Xi could understand where he was coming from.

Given a chance, no one in China would give up an opportunity to get chummy with the Fu family. Getting the Fu family’s vote would only boost their careers in politics or economics.

Yu Qiubai was driving them to the century-old restaurant when the car made a sudden U-turn while passing by Li Mansion. Pulling up in front of Li Mansion, he turned to glance at Fu Qingxuan who was in the passenger seat. “Young Master Fu, there’s one more house we hadn’t looked at.”

Shen Xi, “…”

F*cking hell. All that trouble only to wind up back here. Sure, she could tell the d*mn fox was genuinely helping Madam Fu, but he was also sincere about going to Li Mansion. Killing two birds with one stone, he was!

Shangguan Yanqiu looked out the window. “This is Li Yuan’s home.”

Yu Qiubai nodded and asked, “Do you want to check it out?”

Shangguan Yanqiu was hesitant. “An abrupt visit without a prior appointment doesn’t sound like a good idea.”

Fu Qingxuan immediately made the call and raised his brow at Shen Xi before asserting. “We’re taking a look.”

The place must be a second home to Meanie and she was likely welcomed to come and go as she pleased. Li Mansion might not be accessible to the public, but definitely not for her.

Hiding his emotions behind his eyes, Yu Qiubai studied at the historically significant door. He had always wanted to enter and meet the person inside every time he came.

The old butler here had been a loyal keeper of the Li family. There were many secrets that others might not know, but the butler would. Perhaps Yu Qiubai could find some answers from the old butler.

It was quiet all around as tourists had dispersed by seven o’clock. With no one hanging around the Li Mansion, the grand compound appeared rather majestic.

Yu Qiubai went up and knocked on the door.

Soon, the door opened.

Uncle Li spotted Shen Xi right away. He affectionately nodded at her with a smile before turning to the other people by the door. He did not know them. Uncle Li politely asked, “Can I help you?”

Fu Qingxuan remembered his manners. “Sir, is Li Yuan around? She’s looking for him.”

Uncle Li shook his head. “My master is not around.”

Fu Qingxuan had more to say.

However, Shangguan Yanqiu walked up and let out a gentle grin. “Sir, I would like to ask if the household has a silver Bentley?”

Uncle Li gave a nod. “We have plenty of cars.”

Shangguan Yanqiu was aware she would appear uncouth with all the questions, but she had to ask. She could not put the matter to rest without an answer. “Did anyone from the household arrive home at around 4 o’clock?”

Uncle Li answered, “Mr. Jin Yu returned in the afternoon, but has since left.”

Following the mention of the name, Shangguan Yanqiu turned to Fu Qingxuan. Was this Mr. Jin Yu the same person her son wanted to visit who was related to Li Yuan?

Fu Qingxuan was dumbstruck for a moment before it hit him. The answer was stirring within him, ready to come to light, yet he could not be sure. He eagerly inquired, “Where did Mr. Jin Yu go?”

Since Uncle Li knew Shen Xi, he did not withhold information. “He has returned to Golden Sea Bay.

Shen Xi had a hunch. She took a glance at Madam Fu and then at Fu Qingxuan. An idea was beginning to form.

It was as though everything came together – Uncle Jin Yu’s burned face, the amnesia, the search of his family, while the Fu family was also looking for their father.

She believed there was a divine intervention somewhere somehow. There were many coincidences in the world and Yu Yuanxi was one good example. There was just something about fate.

“Thank you.” Fu Qingxuan’s voice was trembling. Pulling Shangguan Yanqiu by the hand, he put aside all his emotions. “Mom, let’s head home. I know where he is.”

Golden Sea Bay was Meanie’s neighborhood. Mr. Jin Yu stayed next door.

Sensing her son’s shift in mood, Shangguan Yanqiu asked, “Is he the Uncle Jin Yu you wanted to meet?”

Fu Qingxuan forcefully bobbed his head. “Yes.”

Yu Qiubai thanked Uncle Li before catching up to them. Once in the car, he gave Li Mansion one last look and started the car.

There was a weird tension in the air, especially coming from Fu Qingxuan and Shen Xi.
