Chen Xu returned to the imperial capital three days after Fu Linxiao and Jiang Luoning returned.

After arriving in the imperial capital, he met Yingyi and returned to the Dong family. When Mrs. Dong saw Chen Xu, who had disappeared for a long time, she was filled with suspicion. Looking at the young man in front of her, Mrs. Dong asked seemingly unintentionally: "Xu'er, this Where have you been for a while? Siqing has been nagging you all day long to take her out to play!"

In Chen Xu's eyes, Mrs. Dong was like a good mother wearing a mask.

"Mom, I've been feeling restless lately, so I went out to relax. It makes you worry!" Chen Xu replied respectfully, with no flaws on his face.

Mrs. Dong just looked at him with a smile and did not answer the questions he was concerned about.

"Chen Xu! Where have you been? Why did you come back? Did you know that Fu Linxiao is actually engaged to that Jiang Luoning!" An arrogant and domineering voice came from the door. Chen Xu knew who was coming without looking back. It is Dong Siqing.

Chen Xu didn't mind Dong Siqing's questioning tone, but Mrs. Dong on the side scolded: "Siqing, you can't talk to your brother like that!"

Hearing her mother's scolding, Dong Siqing just curled her lips and stopped talking. She rolled her eyes at Chen Xu and stomped away angrily to express her dissatisfaction. Seeing her like this, Mrs. Dong could only sigh helplessly. Take a breath.

"Xu'er, your sister is spoiled by me, don't care what she says!" Mrs. Dong tried to calm the awkward atmosphere between the two, but Chen Xu's expression still didn't change much.

"Mothers should pamper their children!" Chen Xu's lips curled up slightly, still maintaining a calm smile, but the next second he changed the subject and said with a look of sadness: "I just don't know why my parents do this. Don’t want me?”

Mrs. Dong didn't notice the temptation in Chen Xu's eyes at this moment. She just thought it was her preference for Dong Siqing that made him feel left out, so she quickly comforted her: "No, Xu'er! Your father didn't want you?"

"No? Then why was I abandoned in the orphanage?" Seeing that the woman took the bait, Chen Xu continued to ask in pursuit of victory.

"That's because..." Mrs. Dong was about to defend Chen Zirong, but she subconsciously shut up quickly, for fear that Chen Xu would notice if she said anything more.

Seeing that Mrs. Dong had no intention of continuing, the man sneered, stood up and prepared to leave: "Mother, you don't have to worry about me. My biological parents don't want me. Fortunately, you brought me back from the orphanage. As for who they are. ? What have you done? It doesn’t matter anymore, even if my family really comes to me one day, I will not recognize them, don’t worry! "

"Xu'er, you can't blame your father so wrongly!" After hearing Chen Xu's thoughts, Mrs. Dong couldn't help but intensified her tone and scolded her.

Sensing that Mrs. Dong was a little angry, Chen Xu added fuel to the fire and said, "Wrong? Then why do you think a father would abandon his son without caring about him? Oh, he is not worthy of being a father at all!"

Snapped! A slap hit Chen Xu on the face. Chen Xu covered his face and pretended to be in disbelief as he looked at the woman with scarlet eyes: "Mother, you have never hit me! Do you... do you know my father? Where is he? Tell me! He Why don’t you want me?”

"He...he's dead!" Mrs. Dong shouted heartbreakingly, and then slumped down on the chair.

Chen Xu saw that the emotionally broken woman was silent, turned around and ran out of Dong's house. But what Mrs. Dong didn't know was that during the conversation just now, the man had already placed the prepared listening device under the armrest of the sofa.

The bug was prepared by contacting Fu Linxiao before returning to the imperial capital, and the meeting with Ying Yi was also to get something.

After leaving Dong's house, Chen Xu came to an apartment rented in advance. No one knew the location. After checking the room to make sure it was safe, he took out his computer and turned on the eavesdropping device that had been working. What Fu Linxiao gave him was the latest generation of Wuyingtang's eavesdropping device, which could automatically save a week's worth of monitoring content and upload it to the cloud in real time; and it was very small. Hard to find! In addition, it also has a self-destruction device. If the protection system detects an abnormality in the equipment or is discovered, it will immediately activate the self-destruction system, leaving no trace of the other party.

Chen Xu was ready to listen to the audio content after he left Dong's house. He originally just had the mentality of checking the equipment, but unexpectedly he got an unexpected gain.

"Madam, are you okay? Take care of yourself!" A familiar old man's voice sounded. This is Sister Mei, the housekeeper of the Dong family. This woman has been working as a housekeeper in the Dong family since Chen Xu could remember it. She can also be regarded as Dong's housekeeper. The person Madam trusts the most!

"I'm fine, Sister Mei. Do you think my adoptive father and Xu'er will hate me if they know that I set the fire?" Mrs. Dong's voice was slightly trembling when she spoke. I don't know if it was because her anger had not subsided just now or because she was still angry. afraid of what.

"Madam, no! Back then, I wanted to help Young Master Rong out of danger, but who would have thought that an accident would happen! Besides, didn't the old man already believe that the fire was set by the Jiang family? Don't scare yourself. Come on!" The housekeeper Sister Mei's persuasive voice sounded again.

There was silence in the earphones, and Chen Xu still listened carefully to the breathing inside. Not long after, Mrs. Dong's questioning voice came, sounding much more stable: "Are you sure you have dealt with those gangsters back then?"

"Yes ma'am, the person handling this matter asked the old man for it. The credibility is 100%!"

Although Chen Xu couldn't see the scene at that time, he could still hear Mrs. Dong's voice of relief; it was as easy as a stone falling from the bottom of her heart.

"Come on, Sister Mei, let's go see Siqing's child! That boy from the Fu family is engaged. She must be feeling very uncomfortable these days!" Then the sound of distant footsteps came from the earphones.

It wasn't until the sound completely disappeared that Chen Xu put down the headphones, and then fell into deep thought, with the conversation he just heard echoing in his mind.
