Just at the critical moment, Fu Yanchen rolled to the side while carrying Shen Mengxia on his back. The instant they hit the ground, Fu Yanchen adjusted his posture, using his own body to shield Shen Mengxia as they rolled all the way to the edge of the pond.

The car roared past, grazing the hem of Fu Yanchen’s jacket, and crashed into a large tree by the roadside, its front end instantly caving in and deforming.

Fu Yanchen stood up, pulled Shen Mengxia to her feet, and anxiously checked to see if she was injured.

"How are you? Are you hurt anywhere?" Shen Mengxia shook her head, still shaken with lingering fear as she embraced Fu Yanchen tightly.

At that moment, the park security guards rushed over and surrounded the culprit's vehicle. The car door opened, and a heavily alcohol-breathed man stumbled out.

The two of them exchanged a glance, seeing the confirmed answer in each other's eyes. Yes, neither Fu Yanchen nor Shen Mengxia believed this was an accident.

Walking out of the police station, Shen Mengxia gritted her back teeth and said angrily, "It must be that person from Country T again."

Fu Yanchen pulled Shen Mengxia into his arms, gently patting her back, and said, "It seems you, the esteemed young lady of the Shen family, the dignified Second Miss Shen, have no choice but to accept your position."

Right at that moment, Fu Yanchen’s phone rang. Both of them looked at the phone screen simultaneously—Jiang Zeyu.

The call was answered: "Yanchen, you need to be careful. That person from the Shen family in Country T has returned..."

Before Jiang Zeyu could finish his sentence, Fu Yanchen interrupted him, "Xiaxia and I already know. We just had a narrow escape from death."

Leaving the police station, the three of them held a video conference inside Fu Yanchen's car to discuss what to do next.

Before starting, Jiang Zeyu specifically taught Fu Yanchen how to check his car for any eavesdropping devices.

To be safe, Fu Yanchen had also sent the driver away, believing that right outside the police station gates, that uncle of theirs wouldn't dare to act rashly.

"Right now, the two of you are in too passive a position. We need to find a way to counterattack. The reason Xiaxia has been hunted down repeatedly must be related to her grandfather's will. If we can find that will, things will be much easier to handle."

Having served as a criminal police officer for so many years, Jiang Zeyu had encountered plenty of cases involving families fighting over inheritances. His words instantly woke them up like a bolt from the blue.

"Does someone actually dare to touch my woman? Do they really think I, Fu Yanchen, am easy to bully? If it weren't for the fact that we haven't figured out what kind of background this Shen family has, just within the Haijing business circle alone, let me ask you—who would dare if Fu Yanchen were to even frown?" Fu Yanchen was truly furious this time.

According to Jiang Zeyu's investigation, this Shen family had developed their business in the Western Bay in their early years and had only transferred a portion of their assets to Country Z five years ago. It was presumably related to the division of the inheritance.

Suddenly, Shen Mengxia remembered something and hurriedly interrupted their conversation, "When you guys went to rescue me by finding my older sister and Shen Mei last time, didn't Shen Mei take a copy of a will?"

Hearing Shen Mengxia say this, the two men were stunned at first, then their pupils dilated instantly, and they spoke in unison, "Right, right, exactly!"

"The one in her hands must be your sister's copy. If the will was originally written as a single document, then all the division details will be listed on it."

Jiang Zeyu looked as though he had discovered a new world and playfully ruffled Shen Mengxia's hair with his hand.

"Hey! You are so annoying, my hair!" Shen Mengxia complained playfully as she shouted at Jiang Zeyu.

Consequently, the three of them decided to figure out a way to steal the will from Shen Mei's hands.

"Since that will can cost Xiaxia her life, it can also protect Xiaxia's life. In this circle, what you fear most are these foreign monks who refuse to play by the rules."

Every word of Fu Yanchen's was filled with protectiveness and domineering care for Shen Mengxia.

"By the way, Yanchen, has the company's financial security system been sorted out? I almost forgot about this important matter of yours."

Looking at the crown prince of the Beijing social circle right in front of her, Shen Mengxia suddenly remembered that Fu Yanchen still had a pile of troubles of his own.

"Don't worry, I can handle it." As soon as Fu Yanchen finished speaking, Shen Mengxia declared, "Leave it to me, I'll have it resolved for you tomorrow."

Upon hearing Shen Mengxia say this, Fu Yanchen and Jiang Zeyu wore expressions of utter astonishment and incomprehension.
