Threat

Fang Ya cradled Shao Xiang as tears flowed down her cheeks. "Why didn't you pick up the phone? I was so worried!"1

Shao Xiang hugged Fang Ya gently and sighed. "I'm sorry, I didn't have a choice."

He Feng caught on the intent behind Shao Xiang's words and asked, "Did something happen to you?"

Shao Xiang looked up at He Feng and asked him, "Did you meet that Director Jiang?"

Fang Ya let go of Shao Xiang's hand and asked, "How did you and Director Jiang meet?"

Shao Xiang took a deep breath and shook her head helplessly. "This will be a long story that has to wait for now."

"Is it related to Shao Hua?" He Feng suddenly thought of Shao Xiang's big brother, the mysterious Shao Hua.

Shao Xiang looked at He Feng and nodded slightly. "Perhaps you'll understand after you meet Director Jiang."

Fang Ya did not know what Shao Xiang meant. She frowned and fell into thought.

When the staff member saw this, he said to Fang Ya, "Miss Fang, since your mother's safety has been confirmed, can you follow me to see Director Jiang?"

Fang Ya turned to look at He Feng and said, "Stay with my mother for a while. I'll be right back."

He Feng gently pressed his hand on Fang Ya's shoulder. "Be careful!"

Fang Ya smiled and said, "Don't worry!"

Fang Ya got up and followed the staff member out.

He Feng sat on a chair in the room and accompanied Shao Xiang.

After Fang Ya disappeared, He Feng asked, "Is Shao Hua related to Taifeng Construction?"

Shao Xiang looked at He Feng and knew that she could not hide anything from him.

She nodded slightly and said, "I only found out about all this after I contacted my brother recently."

"He's not as impoverished as everyone is making him out to be. His life in the village is just a smokescreen," Shao Xiang said with some distress.

"He told me that he had been framed and was on the run, so he had to..." Shao Xiang said with a bitter expression on her face.

"On the run?" He Feng looked at Shao Xiang in surprise.

Shao Xiang nodded and continued, "A few days ago, Doctor Fang said that my second brother had been poisoned by someone close to him all these years."

Shao Xiang said and sighed slightly, "At first, I didn't know who could possibly harm my second brother."

"Later, a nurse mentioned in passing that although my eldest brother didn't interact much with second brother these years, he would send some supplements to second brother on a regular basis." As Shao Xiang said this, the corners of her eyes became moist again.

"My second brother thought that my eldest brother was already struggling with life as it is, so he treasured those supplements very much." Shao Xiang's lips revealed a bitter smile.

"I asked the nurse to bring the supplements to Doctor Fang and have a look. It turned out that those things that had been harming him over the years." Shao Xiang lowered her head slightly, tears already falling down.

"I don't know why a man would harm his own brother." Shao Xiang folded her hands together and clenched them tightly.

"Are you saying that Shao Hua poisoned Shao Qiang?" He Feng looked at Shao Xiang in disbelief.

Shao Xiang did not answer but continued, "Big Brother came to see me the other day and asked me to help him."

"All these years, I owed my family too much..." Shao Xiang said faintly, "I wanted to do my best to help him, but..."

"He asked you to trick Fang Ya into coming here?" He Feng asked again. Looking at Shao Xiang, his expression changed slightly.

Shao Xiang looked at He Feng apologetically. "I didn't want this!"

He Feng suddenly stood up. "What does he want with Fang Ya?"

Shao Xiang shook her head and stood up with him. "He said he wouldn't hurt Fang Ya!"

He Feng did not believe Shao Xiang. "You know how much Fang Ya trusts You! You know how dear Fang Ya holds you in her heart!"

"Why did you lie to her?" He Feng questioned Shao Xiang.

Shao Xiang's face was filled with guilt. "He won't hurt Fang Ya, he won't..."
