After checking Shen Qingxue’s refreshed future video, he discovered that members of her own family planned to kidnap her, leaving her life in danger.

Shen Qingxue worried that Shen Kun was behind her kidnapping and sought help from her grandfather, Shen Qingshan, who dismissed her suspicions and said guards would arrive that night.
