This made it impossible for him to swallow his anger.

So he turned back, thinking defiantly that if the child was still alive, he would take him away no matter what; if the child wasn't, he would take away the most valuable things in their house!

If all else fails, we'll just demolish their house!

In short, I finally got my revenge.

That's why he secretly climbed over the courtyard wall again.

Meanwhile, Wan Kongshan and Baili Wanwan went to find Wan Suizhou, who was not at home at all.

The thief lost heart, wandered around for a while, and then went into the house to steal something valuable.

He walked around the house but didn't see anything valuable. Just as he was about to get angry and tear the house down, he suddenly found a bead under Baili Wanwan's pillow.

This is a pearl-like bead, warm to the touch, and it seems to shimmer with iridescence when placed under the sunlight.

The man's eyes widened immediately.

He breathed on it and wiped it on his body, thinking that this bead must be worth more than the payment Zhao Damei had given him.

Without saying a word, he put it in his pocket.

When Zhao Damei first approached him, she had a second plan.

If he couldn't steal the child, he would make a scene at the Wan family's door, claiming that the Wan family had stolen his child.

Then Zhao Damei went to the government, and Wan Suizhou would be accused of stealing a child.

If the allegations are confirmed, he will definitely be locked up.

But now that the man has obtained the bead, he suddenly understands something.

If he left now and sold the bead later, he would not only have made a lot of money, but he wouldn't have had so much trouble...

But if he stays here and the county officials get involved, and his past is discovered, he'll be in deep trouble.

After thinking it over, the man slapped his butt.

Hey, I'm quitting!

While the man ran away with Baozhu, Zhao Damei still went to the county government to file a complaint against the Wan family, as planned.

She spoke with absolute certainty and conviction, claiming that Wan Suizhou's family had abducted children, treated them rudely, refused to return them, and even used them to make money.

When Magistrate Cao took on the case and learned that the person who reported it was Zhao Damei, he looked helpless and didn't even want to bother with it.

But Zhao Damei kept causing trouble outside the county government office, so he dispatched several constables to handle the case.

The constables arrived, but the courtyard was empty; there was no sign of the supposed struggle.

Zhao Damei also found it unbelievable. She searched the Wan family's house repeatedly, but still couldn't find the person she had arranged.

"What...what's going on?! This can't be happening!!"

"What's going on?! You're asking us?!" The constables all looked impatient.

"We also want to ask you what happened! Making a false report and wasting manpower and resources—do you know how serious that is?!"

None of the constables gave her a friendly look.

This situation is inherently a village dispute, and it's not easy to resolve.

Now that they've come all this way for nothing, no one would be in a good mood.

"No!! Officials, listen to me, this must be a conspiracy by this family! It's definitely not like that!!"

The constables didn't want to hear any more of her explanation, and said impatiently with cold faces, "You can explain yourself when you get back with us!"

"We are now officially informing you! You are under arrest for obstructing official business! Come with us!!"

"I'm innocent! How could you arrest me, officers! You should arrest the Wan family and all those people!!"

No matter how desperately Zhao Damei cried, the constables ignored her and took her away.

Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels fast.

Soon, news spread that Zhao Damei had been arrested and imprisoned.

Wan Suijin ran around the county government trying to get himself released, but things were not that simple.

Helpless, Wan Suijin resorted to shamelessness, running to the Wan family's door, crying and shouting to pin the blame on Wan Suizhou, insisting that Wan Suizhou personally lead people to bring Zhao Damei back.

Wan Suizhou glanced at his younger brother, who was a hopeless good-for-nothing, and the veins on his forehead bulged slightly with anger.

"Alright, since you've asked, why wouldn't I help you?"

He sneered as he spoke, then hired a car and headed to the county town.

Before heading to the county town, he made a point of bringing Wanwan along as well.

Without saying anything to the others, he went to the county town in silence.

He knew about Zhao Damei's imprisonment from beginning to end.

From the beginning, when Wan Kongshan said that someone in his family had robbed Baili Wanwan, to Zhao Damei being imprisoned.

By connecting the two events, he could guess what role Zhao Damei played in the whole affair.

"Grandpa, are we really going to get that grandma out of jail?"

Baili Wanwan nestled beside Wan Suizhou, her brows furrowed, her expression unreadable.

"What do you think, Wanwan?" Wan Suizhou looked down at her and asked.

Baili Wanwan honestly replied, "Didn't you always say that good deeds are rewarded and evil deeds are punished, and that we must bear the corresponding responsibility for everything we do...?"

She paused, then continued, "This grandmother did something wrong, so she should bear the consequences, shouldn't she?"

Wan Suizhou smiled slightly after hearing her words, then nodded and replied, "Wanwan is right..."

He then closed his eyes, lost in his own thoughts.

It's such a simple truth that even children understand, yet some people don't. How tragic is that?

The two soon arrived at the county government office.

Because of the previous misunderstanding, the people in the county government already know about Wan Suizhou's relationship with the county magistrate.

So the entry went very smoothly, and someone even served tea and snacks. Then someone went to find the magistrate.

A short while later, the county magistrate arrived in haste.

However, Wan Suizhou did not mention Zhao Damei at all, and instead reminisced with the county magistrate.

While the two were chatting, Baili Wanwan sat quietly to the side eating snacks.

After a long while, Wan Suizhou finally explained his purpose.

He glanced at Wanwan and said to Magistrate Cao, "This child has been raised in our family for several months. Although she is not our biological daughter, we have long treated her as our own daughter."

Wan Suizhou said, "I came here to ask the magistrate for a favor: to register Wanwan's household registration in Lanhai Village under the name of my Wan family. This would be good for us, and good for the child..."

Magistrate Cao had heard some things about Wanwan.

Although Wanwan was adopted, she was fortunate enough to meet someone who truly cared for her.

Although this matter may be somewhat troublesome, the law may be impartial, but people are compassionate, and it is understandable to treat special cases in a special way.

"Since you are so kind, I can help you."

After considering it, Magistrate Cao finally agreed to his idea.

"In that case, this old man will thank you."
