Xiao Lingchen acted quickly, agreeing to help Bai Shu, and made the arrangements by phone that very noon.

The Cheng couple wanted to ask Madam Xiao for help, but Xiao Lingchen didn't give them the chance at all. He arranged for his father to go to a beautiful island abroad for a vacation and to enjoy his retirement.

The old patriarch of the Xiao family was unaware of the situation and thought it was his son being filial. He quickly and happily packed his things to go over. Madam Xiao was afraid that she and the old patriarch would grow apart if they lived apart, so she hurriedly took her daughter and followed the patriarch of the Xiao family abroad.

That island is indeed beautiful and has a great climate, making it a good place to relax. But precisely because the environment is so good, it hasn't undergone much modern development, and even the signal is very weak.

The patriarch of the Xiao family worked hard in his early years, but now his health is not very good. He is getting old and his mind is somewhat confused. He is almost obsessed with health preservation.

Xiao Lingchen secretly arranged for his accompanying doctor to say things like "electromagnetic signals are harmful to health" to the old patriarch of the Xiao family every day.

The old patriarch Xiao believed it to be true and immediately ordered the internet on the island to be cut off. No one was allowed to bring mobile phones, computers or other communication devices. Everyone was to stay with him and help him recuperate. If there was any emergency, they should contact Xiao Lingchen first, and then they could communicate by sending a message manually later.

Mrs. Xiao and her daughter immediately regretted their decision, but in order not to reveal their thoughts, they could not immediately say they were leaving. They had no choice but to grit their teeth and stay on the island to live a life without the internet.

With this arrangement, the entire Xiao family became a world completely controlled by Xiao Lingchen.

He leisurely accompanied Bai Shuan as she settled into the hospital to study, while on the other hand, the Cheng couple, who were anxious to seek help from Madam Xiao, were having a much harder time.

They eagerly called Madam Xiao first, but the assistant answered the phone and coldly said, "Madam is traveling abroad," before hanging up. When they tried to call again, they couldn't get through at all.

Unable to get help from Madam Xiao, the victim who was beaten by Cheng Yuxuan was in a hurry to demand compensation, otherwise he would sue Cheng Yuxuan.

The couple were extremely anxious and went to visit Cheng Yuxuan at the detention center. When they met, she cried and begged them to drag her out as soon as possible.

Their beloved daughter was covered in injuries and looked haggard, showing how much she had suffered inside. The two were heartbroken and, after whispering among themselves, decided to sell the house that Ji Baishu's parents had left behind as inheritance.

Bai Shu's parents died suddenly. Although their car was destroyed, they still left behind a considerable amount of cash and an apartment in Beijing.

All these things should have been inherited by Ji Baishu through the law, but the couple took advantage of Baishu's young age and ignorance, and never let her have a say in them, keeping them all in their own hands.

They used the cash and the reward from Mrs. Xiao to buy the school district house they now live in; the inherited house has been rented out by an agency.

Now they want to take it back and sell it, but when they asked, they heard that selling the house requires Bai Shu's consent, so they had to go back to find Bai Shu—but when they did, they found that Bai Shu had not returned home!

They didn't think there was a problem when Ji Baishu didn't come back for a few days, since she usually went to work but would come home the next day.

They only started to panic when Bai Shu disappeared for three consecutive days.

Ji Baishu hasn't been seen for three days, and I can't get through to her on the phone. Where did she go?!

The couple remembered that when they last visited their daughter, they had casually mentioned where Bai Shu worked. They rushed to the food stall, only to find out that Ji Bai Shu hadn't been there for over a week.
