Chapter 138 Even a Slight Possibility

After watching Qingqing's car leave, Fu Chao stood in the night wind for a long time.

He found it funny, but also had mixed feelings.

My mother's outrageous guesses kept coming back to my mind.

Of course Fu Chao knew that his mother was desperate and was trying every possible means to cure her illness.

Because I miss my sister too much.

So whenever she meets any girl she gets along with, she can't help but think of her as her sister.

It’s not that Fu Chao was pouring cold water on his mother, but similar things have happened several times.

There was a time when my mother also held on to hope and exhausted all her energy, but in the end it was all in vain.

She even fell seriously ill for a month because of this.

This time, there were not even any clues or evidence like before, and Chunchun relied on her mother's intuition.

Yeah, just a gut feeling.

But Fu Chao no longer wanted to see his frail mother lying on the hospital bed.

For this reason, he would rather cut off her thoughts in advance.

but……

What if?
Fu Chao, who couldn't control his thoughts, was in a state of confusion.

Until a phone call came and the vibration brought him back to reality.

——Usually, mobile phones will only be collected when filming begins. After the filming is over, the phones will be returned to the guests immediately.

This is Fu Chao's personal cell phone, and only relatives and friends know the number.

Before confirming the call, Fu Chao already had his guess.

Wait until you pick it up and take a look.

really.

"Hello, Dad?"

The person who called was Fu Yunfeng.

Just as Fu Chao would call his mother every other day, he would also call his father every other day.

The main goal is to strike a balance and be fair to everyone.

Even the number of phone calls, which has decreased recently due to busy filming, is the same.

Fu Yunfeng spoke to his son in a gentle tone and started by asking him about his recent work.

A very familiar routine.

But Fu Chao knew that this was not what his father wanted to know.

I watched my father talking about this and that for a long time.

Fu Chao simply took the initiative to mention:
"Mom came to see me today."

Fu Yunfeng was obviously shocked, and even raised his voice slightly:

"How's she doing lately?"

What the father and son were most worried about was always Qingqing's health.

Fu Chao knew that his father had a lot of questions, so he patiently answered them:

"You look in good spirits. You came to our store today and ate a lot of food."

"That's good."

Fu Yunfeng murmured in a low voice, and suddenly remembered,

"Wait, you...store? You changed your career?"

Aren't you an actor?
Although Fu Chao knew that his father was too busy to pay attention to his movements, he couldn't help but complain in his heart -

The couple are both alike!
"I didn't change my career. I'm recording a variety show. It's the parent-child show with Qingxi that I mentioned at the family dinner. We opened a restaurant together as guests."

After listening to Fu Chao's explanation, Fu Yunfeng hesitated:

"You...are a chef? Is it okay for the guests to eat?"

"dad!"

Fu Chao raised his voice in anger.

But after getting angry, I still need to explain what needs to be explained honestly:
"I didn't cook, it was another guest named Nanzhi, she's a great cook. My mom ate a whole pot of pickled pork with preserved vegetables she made tonight! It was so delicious!"

Fu Yunfeng was very quiet and didn't respond.

I guess he was imagining what Qingqing looked like when he ate food with such relish.

Fu Chao felt a little uncomfortable, and deliberately smiled and suggested:

"How about Dad, come over and try it when you have time?"

"I'm in Zhejiang Province. I'm afraid I won't make it in time." Fu Yunfeng said apologetically.

Fu Chaolian said it was okay, it was just a casual remark.

Suddenly, Fu Chao remembered his mother's speculation about Nanzhi.

He hesitated whether to tell Fu Yunfeng.

Before he could speak, Fu Yunfeng noticed it first.

Fu Yunfeng said in a serious tone:
"Did something happen?"

"No! It's just..."

Fu Chao sighed and finally told the whole story of what happened tonight.

Also including the mother's final guess.

Fu Yunfeng was silent for a long time.

Then he sighed:
“You did the right thing.”

Fu Chao raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling very tired:
"Although intellectually, I feel that way. But I can't help but wonder...what if?"

Fu Yunfeng pondered for a moment and told him:

"There's something I didn't tell you before. Actually, I found some clues about your sister's whereabouts."

Fu Chao was shocked and asked anxiously:

"Really? What clues? Is she still alive?"

When he said the last few words, Fu Chao could no longer hold back his sobs.

Fu Yunfeng empathized with his son's reaction.

Because he was like this at the beginning.

The thing he had been thinking about for many years finally came to fruition. How could he not be excited and ecstatic?
It was only as time went by that his mood gradually calmed down.

"Yes, there is a high probability that Zhizhi is still alive."

When saying this, Fu Yunfeng couldn't control his trembling voice.

He tried to suppress his emotions and stated calmly:
"Do you remember that there was a housekeeper named Lin Xiang in our home?"

Fu Chao quickly recalled:

"As I recall, Aunt Lin was in charge of taking care of Zhizhi. They were very close. After Zhizhi disappeared, she fainted from the shock. So she is the one with the problem?"

Fu Yunfeng did not give a direct answer, but said:
"Lin Xiang resigned shortly after Zhizhi disappeared, citing the reason that her mother was seriously ill and she needed to go home to take care of her."

"It sounds suspicious! Didn't you investigate?"

"I checked. Her mother was indeed seriously ill, and she died less than a month after she returned home."

"Then she..."

"I didn't find any problems with her back then. Until recently, I accidentally discovered through investigating Xu Dong that he had been in contact with Lin Xiang."

"So they are united?"

"Almost. The most important thing is that Xu Dong said that he killed Zhizhi himself... This is probably a lie. As for Zhizhi's whereabouts, Lin Xiang should be responsible for handling it!"

Fu Yunfeng's tone was barely calm.

But the Fu Dynasty was in complete chaos.

He paced back and forth, wanting to speak several times but not knowing where to start.

In the end, I could only utter:

"I remember Lin Xiang was very kind to Zhizhi..."

If Lin Xiang felt pity at the critical moment, would she let Zhizhi go?
But at the same time, Fu Chao was also very clear that they could not gamble on the conscience of a kidnapper's accomplice.

No wonder their father didn’t tell them before.

This matter is full of greater uncertainty, and it is tormenting to know about it.

Fu Yunfeng: "At least, there is a glimmer of hope."

This sentence made Fu Chao suddenly enlightened.

He murmured and repeated:

"Yes, even if there is only a 1% chance."

Fu Yunfeng told him:

"Don't tell your mother yet. I'm investigating Lin Xiang's whereabouts. After she left her hometown, she must have been working outside as an illegal resident. I've found some traces of her. It won't be too late to tell her when there's progress."

"Okay, okay, I know."

Fu Chao suppressed his excitement.

Before hanging up the phone, Fu Chao did not forget to show concern:
"Dad, remember to take care of yourself."

"Ah."
