Shen Qibin suspected Gu Xiaonuan had ill intentions, as she did not show up when her brother was kidnapped, but as soon as he was returned, she immediately came knocking.
Zhang Yu was bought over by Gu Xiaonuan's little favors, but Shen Qibin was on guard against his shrewd niece.
"The child wasn't... staying at a classmate's home the past couple of days? He only came back today and might have played too hard, now he's probably exhausted and asleep."
Zhang Yu thought of Feng's kidnapping, but she couldn't say it out loud.
Shen Qibin originally planned to spend money to ransom Feng. Zhang Yu had no children, and they had always raised Feng as their own son, also harboring thoughts of not returning him to Shen Biran.
But when the real crisis struck, and it was time to pay a ransom for Feng, who was not their biological son, and a hefty one at that, Zhang Yu hesitated.
Hesitated until she eventually convinced Shen Qibin that they should do nothing and leave it all to Feng's luck.
