After Xi Quan arrived, Ye Qing told Zhang Sao to leave first.
Upon seeing Xi Quan, Aunt Zhang knew she didn't need to worry anymore and went home first.
Ye Qing originally wanted to go to the cake shop where she had just talked to Xu Xiaoran, but the place was so popular that the few tables inside were all full in no time. So Ye Qing went to Xi Quan's car to talk to Xi Quan and the others.
Previously, Xi Quan only knew a few words from Zhang Sao's loud and anxious phone call, but they were vague and unclear, so he didn't know exactly what had happened.
However, this place is the neighborhood where Xu Xiaoyue's grandparents live. Knowing that Ye Qing had come here, Xi Quan and Liu Yuliang had a general idea in their minds that the matter was probably still related to Xu Xiaoyue.
So before Ye Qing told them what had happened, Xi Quan and Liu Yuliang had already mentally prepared themselves.
Actually, now that Xi Quan has found Ye Qing, he is not as worried as before, or rather, he has almost no worries. After all, even if it concerns Xu Xiaoyue, Liu Yuliang is also involved.
Liu Yuliang became even more worried.
Even after mentally preparing themselves, the two still found it hard to believe what Ye Qing had told them about what had happened.
Upon hearing Ye Qing's words, Liu Yuliang was shocked, feeling as if he had been struck by lightning. Although his mother's actions had long since made him lose all hope in her, he truly felt that if things didn't work out, he should just sever his relationship with her.
Even so, Liu Yuliang felt that his mother was at most a sexist and had a somewhat feudal and stubborn mindset. He never thought that his mother would do anything illegal!
And the thing they did was something so serious.
After a long pause, Liu Yuliang still couldn't quite process what Ye Qing had said. He stared at Ye Qing for a long time before muttering to himself, "You mean my mother kidnapped Xu Xiaoyue and then asked Xu Xiaoran for money?"
Before Ye Qing could answer after asking the question, he added, "I didn't misunderstand, did I? Is that what you mean?"
Ye Qing nodded and repeated the analysis he had just shared with Xu Xiaoran and the other person to Liu Yuliang, also explaining why Xu Xiaoran hadn't told Liu Yuliang about the matter.
Seeing that Liu Yuliang still looked incredulous, Ye Qing didn't say much and waited for Liu Yuliang to process it himself.
After all, even though that's what she said, it's still all Ye Qing's own deduction based on some facts. Even if she thinks there's an 80% or higher chance, there's still a 20% chance of something unexpected happening.
Perhaps the truth is that the 20% is the whole story.
At first glance, it was indeed surprising, but after a little calm thinking, it was not surprising that Ye Qing had such thoughts. Moreover, the old lady had indeed not been found. Putting aside everything else, the fact that she secretly came to Nancheng from her hometown without telling anyone and even used scheming was very strange and unpredictable.
Xi Quan was somewhat annoyed. This matter had nothing to do with Ye Qing, but Xu Xiaoyue's younger brother had approached Ye Qing.
Since things have already come to this, it's unrealistic to expect Ye Qing to just ignore everything. So Xi Quan can only help analyze the current situation and resolve it as soon as possible.
While Ye Qing and Liu Yuliang were discussing what had happened, Xi Quan was pondering what exactly was going on.
While Liu Yuliang was still slowly processing the matter, Xi Quan said, "You might not be able to convince yourself that this has nothing to do with your mother. After all, as Xu Xiaoran told Ye Qing, the fact that he has a card with a deposit of about one million is something only he, Xu Xiaoyue, and your mother know. But I don't think your mother could have accomplished this on her own."
The first part of Xi Quan's words left Liu Yuliang utterly hopeless, but the second part seemed to give him a glimmer of hope. He asked, "What do you mean? You mean there are other people helping my mother? Who would go looking for trouble like this? Everyone knows kidnapping is illegal."
Ye Qing was so anxious before that she didn't think of many things. Now, Xi Quan's words made her suddenly remember things that she had temporarily ignored!
Jiang Xinya!
Yes, earlier, Li Yeming had specifically approached Xi Yue, saying that Yang Zi had mentioned Jiang Xinya's recent unusual behavior, and that she might do something crazy.
Ye Qing was distracted by other things at the time and didn't think much about it, but now that I think about it, it's possible.
Xi Quan shared the same idea as Ye Qing, so since Ye Qing mentioned Jiang Xinya, he didn't say anything more.
Although Liu Yuliang didn't quite believe that his mother would do such a thing, after consulting with them, the analysis suggested that it was almost certainly true.
Because the old lady cares about her grandson, Xu Xiaoyue should be safe if it were just the old lady alone. However, it seems that it wasn't just the old lady who did it, so Xiaoyue's safety...
Once Liu Yuliang thought of Xiaoyue, all his worries vanished. He suppressed his shock and said, "Let's call the police."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qing and Xi Quan exchanged a glance. Finally, Xi Quan asked, "Are you sure you want to call the police? If our analysis is correct, although your mother is not alone, she is definitely involved in this matter. If the police find them, your mother will likely spend the rest of her life in jail."
Liu Yuliang clenched his fists tightly, struggling internally, but in the end, justice prevailed!
He said, "Let's call the police. That's the only way to prevent future trouble. Otherwise, who knows what kind of trouble my mom will cause in the future? Besides, she's not illiterate. She knows the consequences of kidnapping. If she knows and still does it, then there's nothing more to say. I silently endured how she treated Xiaoyue before, even her preference for boys over girls, thinking that she was still my own mother and just hoping that she could go back to her hometown safely. But now I can't tell myself that it's enough for her to go back to her hometown."
Having said all that, Xi Quan and Ye Qing naturally wouldn't say anything more. Besides, no matter how good Ye Qing's relationship with Xu Xiaoyue was, she was still considered an outsider in front of Liu Yuliang.
Ye Qing said, "Since you've decided to call the police, we can't just sit idly by. Since we suspect that Jiang Xinya is also involved in this matter, and there's nowhere Xiaoyue might go right now, it must be a place Jiang Xinya went. So we need to find out where Jiang Xinya might go... I'll go ask Li Yeming."
After thinking for a moment, Xi Quan said, "Since we've already decided to call the police, let's call them first and see what the police say."
That works too, and Liu Yuliang had already picked up the phone to call the police.
