Jiang Yi and his parents rushed to Yaleju. They couldn't find Moxi despite their large group. Zhang Yulan cried anxiously. Her children were her life. If anything happened to Moxi, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to live either.

“Moxi has always been at odds with Li Chunxiang and her daughter. Do you think they might have done this? Could they have kidnapped Moxi?” Aunt Zhang was saddened to see Zhang Yulan crying, and pulled her aside. “Sister, don’t cry. Let’s think about it carefully. Where could Moxi have gone?”

"I'm going to find Lan Yin and her daughter." Jiang Yi clenched his fists.

"Without any evidence, what's the point of going to them?" Su Xiaonuan called out to Jiang Yi. "Think about it first, has Moxi done anything unusual today? Or did you say anything to her that provoked her?"

Xiao Nuan wondered, "Could it be that Jiang Yi is going to break up with Mo Xi so soon?"

"I didn't say anything!"

"Jiang Yi, you still won't tell the truth. Tell me, are you dating Mo Xi?" Xiao Moran grabbed Jiang Yi's collar with one hand and clenched her other fist towards his handsome face.

"Yes, we are indeed dating," Jiang Yi readily admitted.

"What? You two are dating?" Everyone except Su Xiaonuan and Xiao Moxi exclaimed in surprise.

"You must have done something to offend her," Xiao Moran thought to himself, realizing something was wrong. "Could she have done something drastic to herself and tried to drown herself?"

"Pah, pah, pah, what do you mean by drowning?" Jiang Yi pushed Xiao Moran away. "What could she possibly be thinking? Have you ever seen someone in the throes of love think that way? If you ask me, something must have happened to Moxi."

"Come on, let's go ask those old friends. They're always strolling around the neighborhood." Aunt Zhang really likes Moxi. She was very worried when she heard that Moxi had an accident. Now she's going to take everyone to wake up those old friends who are still asleep.

They knocked on several doors and learned from their old friends that three people carrying large and small bags had come to Li Chunxiang's house. They also learned that there were two men and one woman, and their approximate ages were also mentioned.

Based on their descriptions, Su Xiaonuan and Xiao Moran were certain that the three people were Lan Guangxue, Wang Xiaobao, and Xie Xiuhua.

Su Xiaonuan promptly called the police.

With the assistance of the police, they knocked on the doors of Li Chunxiang and Xie Zhi's homes and took them in to give statements.

Li Chunxiang truly knew nothing. Only Lan Yin knew that Xiang Qiuyun was behind the disappearance of Moxi, but she didn't expect Xiang Qiuyun to act so quickly.

Lan Yin wasn't about to get involved. When the police asked where those people had gone, she immediately told them, and then yawned. "Officer, I've told you everything I needed to say. Can we go back to sleep now?"

"You have to come with me." The police didn't let them go back, but instead had Lan Yin lead the way to bring Lan Guangxue, Wang Xiaobao, and Xie Xiuhua, who kept shouting that they were innocent.

According to the statements of Lan Guangxue, Wang Xiaobao, and Xie Xiuhua, they had just rented a house and hadn't had time to buy things or tidy up the place, so they hadn't seen Xiao Moxi at all. The police verified all of this based on what they said, and they indeed had no chance.

Only Lan Guangxue and Xie Xiuhua knew that Wang Xiaobao had gone out at night, but they didn't say it out loud, saying that the three of them had been tidying up at home.

They searched until dawn, but still received no news from Moxi.

Jiang Yi found Mo Xi's hair clip on the road. The blue hair clip was on the left side of Mo Xi's head. He held the hair clip and muttered to himself, "Something must have happened to Mo Xi. Something must have happened to her."

He slapped himself several times in regret, regretting that he hadn't insisted on taking her downstairs; otherwise, she wouldn't have had this accident.

“Jiang Yi, now is not the time to blame yourself. Think carefully: when you brought Mo Xi back, were there any suspicious people around?” Su Xiaonuan reminded him.

“Suspicious people?” Jiang Yi thought for a moment. “When Mo Xi got out of the car, there was indeed a couple not far away. I saw them when I was backing up, but they were standing together, embracing each other. I didn’t see their faces.”

"A couple?" Su Xiaonuan's mind skipped a beat. Back then, people wouldn't be so bold in expressing their love. Even holding hands had to be done in secret. For a couple to be embracing in the street, there must be something wrong. "It seems like we've all overlooked someone."

"Who?" Jiang Yi asked.

“Xiang Qiuyun,” Su Xiaonuan said. “You and Moxi are dating, so the person who hates Moxi the most should be her. After all that trouble last night, we might really be looking in the wrong direction. Could the couple you saw last night be Xiang Qiuyun and her accomplices? If she were alone, she wouldn’t be a match for Moxi at all?”

"Then let's go find Xiang Qiuyun now." Jiang Yi and Xiao Moran went to get the car at the same time.

"Wait a minute." Su Xiaonuan's brain twitched again. She had read the statements of Lan Yin and her daughter. Lan Yin said that she had rented a house for Lan Guangxue in Renjia Lane.

Renjia Lane? Doesn't Xiang Qiuyun live there too?

She snapped her fingers and said to the police officers on duty, "Go to Renjia Lane immediately and arrest Lan Guangxue, Xie Xiuhua, Wang Xiaobao, and Xiang Qiuyun. Interrogate them separately; this matter is definitely related to them."

Su Xiaonuan's words carried great authority because these people knew that she was the detective who had solved numerous bizarre cases. Not only them, but even their leaders would absolutely obey this woman's instructions.

At first, everyone denied it, insisting that no one had gone out.

Later, it was Su Xiaonuan who broke down Xie Xiuhua's defenses. She spoke from a woman's perspective, advising Xie Xiuhua, "Sister-in-law, I have no right to criticize your current choice. Because I am a woman, I understand your situation. You're bullied in the village and disliked by your in-laws. For the survival of you and your children, you chose to associate with Lan Guangxue. I understand, but I don't approve. Have you thought about whether Xiaojun and Xiaoya will be able to hold their heads high when they grow up?"

"Little Nuan, I..." Xie Xiuhua cried sadly. Little Nuan's words touched her heart. Everyone else only cared about cursing her as a shameless woman, but who knew her suffering?

"Sister-in-law, don't be sad," Su Xiaonuan comforted her. "If you don't want to continue colluding with Lan Guangxue, I can still help you. But if you want to let yourself fall, then there's nothing I can do."

"Little Nuan, your sister-in-law is really helpless," Xie Xiuhua sobbed. "You know, if I don't follow Lan Guangxue, he won't give me that twenty yuan. Before, when he had a job, it was fine; the mine would deduct money from his salary every month and deposit it directly into my account. Now that he doesn't work at the mine anymore, if he doesn't give me the money, what can a woman like me do to him?"

"But you can't just give up on yourself, can you?" Su Xiaonuan said earnestly. "Lan Guangxue is so much older than you, how many years can he help you? Even if you want to find a man to relieve your pressure, you should find someone around your age. If you marry Lan Guangxue, and things actually work out, you'll probably have to take care of him, right? He won't help you, and he'll just be a burden to your children."

Xie Xiuhua, a rural woman, hadn't really thought that far ahead. She only thought that Lan Guangxue was rich and could help her raise her two children. She hadn't thought about anything else. After Su Xiaonuan said that, she became a little scared. Lan Guangxue was old enough to be her father. If she really married him, she probably wouldn't be able to enjoy happiness for more than a few years before she would have to serve him.
