Ye Zhiguo thought Ye Qingqing's words had a hidden meaning, but seeing that Ye Qingqing kept crying and there was nothing unusual, he breathed a sigh of relief and felt that he had overthought things.

That girl was only five years old back then, what could she possibly know?

"Things aren't clear yet, Qingqing, don't jump to conclusions so quickly!" Ye Zhiguo had a terrible headache, but in his heart he was cursing Ye Hua to death for causing him trouble all the time.

"How else can we investigate? They all said that Ye Hua tipped us off. Dad, use your brain! Even you and Grandma didn't know I went out to buy things, so how could those three scoundrels have known? It must have been Ye Hua who tipped me off!"

Ye Qingqing angrily accused him, her points clear and logical, and everyone else nodded in agreement.

That's exactly right. They didn't know Ye Qingqing had gone out. Only her family knew. They never expected Ye Hua to be so malicious. From now on, they'll make sure the kids in the family stay away from him!

The old woman's face was as black as ink. She said sternly, "Where is that little beast? I'm going to ask him!"

She looked around but didn't see Ye Hua's family. Shen Yanhong's hand injury hadn't fully healed, so she went to bed early. Ye Lan also went to bed early. Ye Hua, feeling guilty, stayed in her room doing her homework and didn't dare to go out.

The old lady strode towards home. She had to find out the truth about this today. If it really was that little beast who did it, she would never let him get away with it!

Ye Zhiguo was extremely anxious, but he couldn't protect Ye Hua too much in front of outsiders. He didn't know what to do for a moment, and he just hoped that Ye Hua would stick to his guns and not admit it, so that he could still find a way to get the kid off the hook!

Everyone else followed to watch the spectacle. As the act of catching a hooligan turned into a family farce, everyone's gossip instincts were ignited, and no one wanted to go home.

Shen Yanhong had already gotten out of bed, still in her pajamas, and wanted to come out to see what had happened. She bumped into an old lady with a dark face. Before she could even ask a question, the old lady pushed her away, and Shen Yanhong almost fell to the ground.

"What's wrong with Mom?" Shen Yanhong was angry, but dared not show it. She asked Ye Zhiguo while holding back her anger, but when she saw a group of people following behind, she couldn't help but panic.

It feels like something bad is about to happen!

Ye Zhiguo looked at Shen Yanhong with a sullen face and disgust. Although Ye Hua was his own son, it was Shen Yanhong who raised him during the most crucial years. This stupid woman had spoiled his son!

Ye Zhiguo felt a mix of emotions: one of his two sons was mentally challenged, while the other had turned out to be a scoundrel.

No matter how much he disliked Ye Hua, he still had to protect his own son. After all, compared to the fool Ye Tong, Ye Hua was a normal person!

The old lady dragged Ye Hua, who was pretending to do her homework, down from the second floor. When she saw the three hooligans being held captive, Ye Hua felt a chill run down her spine and knew something was wrong.

"It was this kid who came to tip off his sister, telling us to teach her a lesson!"

The three thugs were eager to make a big fuss, and as soon as they saw Ye Hua, they started shouting. Ye Hua's face turned pale, and her body involuntarily began to tremble.

The old woman grabbed a bamboo stick from the cabinet and started whipping it around without warning. "You heartless little beast! You eat my rice, but you conspire with outsiders to harm my granddaughter. I'd rather raise a dog than you. At least a dog knows to protect its owner and guard the house... I'll beat you to death, you little beast!"

"Ouch... Dad... Mom... It hurts..."

Ye Hua was writhing on the ground in pain, wailing loudly. Shen Yan Hong still didn't understand what was going on, but she knew it must be related to Ye Qing Qing. It must be that the little bitch had spoken ill of her son in front of the old hag!
