Chapter 171 – Bodyguard? (3)
Feng Zeyu nodded and opened the car door for Shu Yan. “Where are you going back to?”
“Fujian Road. I didn’t return yesterday. I wonder if my two children have lunch yet.” Shu Yan took a look at the time. It was already 2 PM. She had planned to go home and make lunch for her kids.
“You are raising two children alone?” Feng Zeyu never looked into Shu Yan and did not know about her situation.
“Yes.” Shu Yan looked up and smiled but did not elaborate.
His pager beeped and Feng Zeyu took a look at him before he said to Shu Yan apologetically, “Pardon me. Let me go and return this call.” He returned five minutes later and did not look too happy. “One of my comrades in arms works in the police station. He said those two kidnappers have others working with them and you’ve been spotted by them. You shouldn’t ride on the train recently and preferably not even traveling.”
Shu Yan frowned, “I am in the clothing business and I need to go merchandizing at City Han weekly. It’s not practical for me to not travel. I will be fine. I can take the car to merchandizing. They might not be able to find me. But I worry that they will find my place. What about my two children? Do you thin they will be dragged into this?”
For a brief second there, Shu Yan regretted standing up. Or that she should not have stood up again once she had alerted the cops.
Feng Zeyu went silent for a little bit before he said, “If you don’t mind, I can protect you for this period of time. Until we arrest their partners.”
“That’s not going to work. Never mind about wasting your time. We have no idea how long it’d take before their partners will be arrested. This is not sustainable.” Shu Yan felt very worried. Feng Zeyu could protect her for a limited period of time, but not the rest of her life. She couldn’t live her life with this hanging over her head.
“Kidnappers are all heartless. You’ve ruined their business so they very well might retaliate. They have many ways and are very vicious. But you don’t have to be too overly worried. They are not omnipotent and I’m sure they won’t be able to locate you. But you will need to be careful when you go to City Han. Why don’t we do this? I will take you to and from work in the next few days and see if there are anyone suspicious around. Let me know when you go merchandizing in City Han and I’ll go with you.” Feng Zeyu wasn’t going to put the person who saved Duoduo at risk.
Truth be told, Shu Yan was a little bit worried. She hesitated for a while and said, “Okay. Thank you then.”
“No problem. Don’t worry too much. These are the worse case scenarios. I trust that the cops will be able to arrest them soon,” said Feng Zeyu with a stiff tone.
Shu Yan tightened her lips a bit and said, “I hope so too.”
Before Shu Yan got out of the car, Feng Zeyu handed her a piece of paper with his phone and pager number on it.
“Let me go back and take care of some things. I will take you to your shop tomorrow.” He had the driver took off immediately after he said that, not allowing Shu Yan a chance to decline him.
Domineering? Yes. But Shu Yan felt much safer after his words.
Her two children were napping at home and there were milk and biscuits left over from them. Feeling sorry for her two children, she kissed them both on their foreheads.
She was a bit impulsive this time. She was no longer all alone. She has two children to raise. She needed to consider how much she could take on next time she stepped up. Just like this time. She still should have reported to the cops. She couldn’t just pretend that she didn’t notice anything. But then she should have let the cops take care of it afterward. She should not have stepped up after that. Her kids were still young and had no abilities to take care of themselves. What happened if she had got them involved in something dangerous?
It was never easy to do the right thing. Now Shu Yan finally understood what that meant.
Shu Yan had been gone for two days. JingJing was very mature and kept the house clean. Shu Yan cleaned it again anyway and pre-treated the dirty laundry with soap. It’d make it easier to wash out later on.
