Old Fu residence…

Every year during Lunar New Year’s Eve, all the Fu family members would stay up late into the?night¹?together. But this year, Sun Qionghua didn’t bring Fu Yuxiu back, and the atmosphere was a bit strange. Before dinner, Fu Wan packed a bag of spring couplets and passed it to Fu Sinian.

“Sinian, take Jinye along with you to go to your third uncle’s house and your condo to paste the spring couplets.” They were definitely staying at the old residence during the new year period, so they could only put the spring couplets up at these two places on the 29th of the last lunar month.

Fu Sinian took the bag of spring couplets over and looked around at the elders in the living room.

His parents, second uncle, and third uncle were all here, so they probably had something to discuss. He nodded and took the bag of spring couplets.

“I’ve already categorized them, and the extra portion is for your third uncle’s house,” Fu Wan reminded.

“Okay.” Fu Sinian nodded and left with Shen Jinye.

Shen Jinye was just playing a game when he was asked to go out to paste the spring couplets all of a sudden. He couldn’t help complaining a bit, “Actually, we can just go out tomorrow during the day. The sky’s already getting dark, and it’s so cold.”

“They should be talking about Second Uncle’s family matter,” Fu Sinian explained. After such a major incident in the Sun family, public opinion was still rampant, but they were still in-laws after all.

“Those people from the Sun family are really disgusting. They’re still siblings by name, yet they actually did such an immoral thing?” Shen Jinye was speechless.

Fu Sinian drove the car without saying anything.

***

The gray clouds covered the evening sky, the wind was cold and bleak, and the streets barely had any traffic. Every Lunar New Year, the capital was like an empty city.

Everything was desolate, not lively at all.

The two of them first went to Yunjin Prime Manor to paste the spring couplets and then drove to Fu Sinian’s condo building. When the two of them were near the building, the sky was already completely dark.

When they passed by a traffic light, Shen Jinye suddenly pointed at the entrance of a building complex nearby. “Hey, Big Bro, isn’t that Miss Yu?”

Fu Sinian raised his eyebrows and looked in the direction he was pointing. It was indeed Yu Manxi, and she seemed to have just returned from shopping. She had two large grocery bags in her hands, which only the supermarket provided.

She was obviously struggling to carry the grocery bags. She was walking and stopping occasionally and panted heavily from time to time.

“Doesn’t she live alone? Isn’t she going home for the new year? It’s already the 29th.” Shen Jinye was full of doubts.

Fu Sinian pursed his lips without saying anything. His fingers tapped the steering wheel lightly, and a trace of emotion appeared in his eyes behind his glasses.

Yu Manxi had indeed just returned from the supermarket and had bought some new year goods. There had been a lot of people in the supermarket, so she had queued up for more than ten minutes to pay. When she came back for Lunar New Year in previous years, she would always just stay in a hotel and order takeout. But this year, she had a new home, so she naturally couldn’t do things like in the past.

She had a hard time walking while carrying the grocery bags. Her palms were red, and she occasionally put down the bags to take a rest. She turned around to look.

Behind her was a man in his twenties wearing a gray cotton coat with a cigarette in his mouth. He had been following behind her for some time. She didn’t take it to heart at first. But when she stopped to rest, he stood by the trash can and pretended to flick the cigarette ash off his cigarette.

Having experienced living alone all year round, she had a bad feeling in her heart. This person had been following her ever since she left the supermarket.

The area around the Beijing Software Garden was already usually empty, and with Lunar New Year close, it was even more deserted. There was only a dim yellow light at the security post of the community.

Yu Manxi bit her lip. Because she had to swipe her card to enter the community, she lowered her head to rummage through her bag for it. The man who had been following her suddenly threw away his cigarette, rushed toward her, and grabbed her bag.

Her shoulder bag was slung over her shoulder, and the quality was very good, so with the sudden jerk, Yu Manxi staggered and almost fell to the ground.

“What are you doing?!” Yu Manxi’s fingers grabbed hard and pulled her bag back into her arms.

“F*ck, give me your bag! Or I won’t go easy!” The man took out a switchblade from his pocket and waved it in front of Yu Manxi.

“F*ck! Big Bro, is this a robbery?!” Shen Jinye pointed agitatedly at Yu Manxi not far away.

Fu Sinian couldn’t care less that the car was still stopped in the middle of the road. He kicked the door open and got out of the car. Shen Jinye hurriedly chased after him.

There was still a long distance between them. Even rushing over like this, they would still be too late if the criminal really harmed her.

Yu Manxi clutched her bag, her gaze firm and fearless.

“Hey! What are you doing?!” Shen Jinye shouted from afar.

The robber subconsciously turned his head to look in the direction of the voice. At this moment, Yu Manxi suddenly grabbed her bag tightly and smashed it against the man’s head.

The man grunted, and the switchblade in his hand fell to the ground. He was dizzy from being hit in the back of his head.

Before he could react, Yu Manxi had already kicked the knife away and then kicked the man’s private part hard.

It was obvious that she had practiced martial arts before. Her attacks were fast and ruthless.

She kicked him right in his vitals.

“Arrrggghhhh—” The man let out a heart-wrenching scream. Shen Jinye was so startled that his body trembled, and his back felt cold.

Holy shit!

Are women nowadays all so fierce?

The man covered his lower body, his face ashen. Yu Manxi took out the pepper spray from her bag and sprayed it onto his face. The pungent spray assaulted the man’s eyes, and tears streamed down his face from the pain.

Even so, Yu Manxi didn’t stop and kicked the man hard two more times.

She was wearing high heels, so the kick hurt terribly.

“How did you dare rob me with just this bit of ability?

“You won’t go easy on me?

“You look like a decent human being, but you’re not doing anything proper and came out to rob. Do you have any shame? Don’t you have arms and legs? Can’t you make money?”

…

She didn’t seem like she had the intention of stopping.

“Great Aunt, please spare me,” the man begged repeatedly.

Yu Manxi was dressed fashionably and exquisitely, looking charming and enchanting. She didn’t look like such a ruthless person at all.

“You still dared to rob me with a knife?” Yu Manxi was panting heavily. After stopping, she felt that it wasn’t enough to vent her anger, so she kicked him hard again.

When Fu Sinian and Shen Jinye ran over, the robber was already lying on the ground, begging for mercy and crying out loud in pain.

Shen Jinye swallowed his saliva nervously and glanced at Yu Manxi.

Only then did she notice Fu Sinian. She hastily tidied her clothes slightly and smiled at him. “Mr. Fu, what a coincidence.”

Fu Sinian pushed his glasses up his nose and didn’t say anything.

Shen Jinye was dumbfounded.

This person’s mouth is bleeding from her beating. She’s so fierce.

She was so aggressive just now, yet she became so gentle in a second. She’s way too fast at changing her face.

When the robber saw that these people knew each other, he struggled on the ground, got up staggeringly, and turned around, wanting to run away.

Fu Sinian strode forward, raised his leg, aimed at the robber’s back…

… and suddenly kicked him.

Puff!

The robber instantly fell face first to the ground, and streams of blood flowed out from his nose and mouth.

Shen Jinye coughed twice.?I was wrong. Big Bro is the real aggressive one.

F*ck, that kick hurts just looking at it.

“Call the police.” Fu Sinian looked at Shen Jinye.

“Okay.” Shen Jinye took out his phone and dialed 110. In just five minutes, a police car arrived. The police officer asked about the situation, and since there were CCTV cameras here, the truth was clear. But when he saw the badly beaten up robber, the corners of his mouth still twitched twice.

***

According to the law, the three of them followed the police to the police station to make statements.

When the police were questioning Fu Sinian, they furrowed their brows slightly upon hearing his name. There weren’t many people in the entire capital called Fu Sinian. In addition, Yu Manxi’s identity and nationality was an overseas Chinese, so they took this incident very seriously and handled the case extremely quickly…

Yu Manxi had just finished making her statement and was about to leave with Fu Sinian when a police officer stopped her. “Miss Yu, have you offended anyone recently?”

“Huh?” Yu Manxi raised an eyebrow. “I just came back to China, so I don’t know many people. What do you mean?”

“This case might not be very simple. We’re still investigating the specifics. Be more careful these days and try not to go out alone,” the police officer reminded.

“Okay, thank you.” Yu Manxi wasn’t stupid. Upon hearing this, she knew that someone was deliberately finding trouble with her.

Since it was a robbery and nothing else, the person who did it likely just wanted to teach her a lesson. She pondered. After returning to China, she had been applying for jobs everywhere, but she hadn’t gotten a single job offer up until now, let alone offend anyone because of this.

Fu Sinian glanced at her. “Let’s go back.”

“Okay.” Yu Manxi nodded.

On the way back to the Beijing Software Garden, Shen Jinye was driving. Fu Sinian was sitting in the front passenger seat while Yu Manxi was sitting alone in the backseat. When she thought about what the police said, she felt as though a thorn had pierced into her heart. She took a deep breath…

Strictly speaking, there really are a lot of people who don’t want me to have a good life. But those people’s methods shouldn’t be that lowly.?She rubbed her eyes and felt a slight headache.

Fu Sinian lowered his head and sent a message. [Third Uncle, help me investigate someone.]
