Chapter 263 Liu Lan Confessed

Xia Juanjuan turned her head suddenly and looked across the street at the house where Liu Lan lived.

Just as she was about to startle, she heard a door closing. It was clearly Liu Lan who was peeking and noticed Xia Juanjuan looking over here, so she closed the door in a panic.

Xia Juanjuan's heart moved, and she turned around and walked towards Liu Lan's house.

She felt that something was wrong with Liu Lan a few days ago, and today, something happened to the children. It was such a coincidence!

Moreover, the ransom money specifically asked her to deliver it!

Xia Juanjuan kicked the door open with one foot. When Liu Lan saw Xia Juanjuan holding a knife, she looked like a killer from hell and was really scared!

"You...Xia Juanjuan, you...you...what do you want to do! I...I don't know anything!"

With just one sentence, Xia Juanjuan was convinced that Liu Lan was definitely involved!

Wu Xiaoyun and Zhou Qiuhe chased over and were shocked to see Xia Juanjuan enter Liu Lan's room. They were about to chase in to stop her.

However, before they came in, Xia Juanjuan locked the door from the inside!

At the same time, Chen Qi also brought several other women from the village who could be called over and surrounded the door.

Liu Lan was really frightened this time.

Ever since that time when Xia Juanjuan deliberately pushed her down in the yard, she began to be afraid of Xia Juanjuan and dared not confront her head-on.

Now, Xia Juanjuan locked the door from the inside and had a kitchen knife in her hand, which was even more terrifying!

"Wuwuwuwu...you you you...don't come over here! I...I really don't know anything! If you dare to kill me, you...you will also have to undergo labor reform!"

People outside heard Liu Lan's screams and anxiously knocked on the door, saying, "Juanjuan! Calm down! We know you are sad that your three children were taken away, but this matter has nothing to do with your mother-in-law... or Liu Lan! Don't do anything stupid!"

Xia Juanjuan remained unmoved, still staring, and walked straight to Liu Lan and put the kitchen knife to her neck.

"Liu Lan, if anything happened to my children, I would definitely not live alone anymore! Do you think... I would be afraid of labor reform or imprisonment?"

With the knife at her neck, Liu Lan fell to the ground, her hands and feet limp, unable to move.

She sobbed and said, "Wuwuwu... Don't kill me! I don't want to die..."

Xia Juanjuan then spoke again in a deep voice: "If you don't want to die, then confess! Tell me! Did you collude with someone to take my children away and then ask for money?"

Liu Lan still insisted: "I...I really don't know...ah!"

The kitchen knife in Xia Juanjuan's hand sharply cut the skin on Liu Lan's neck. The pain scared Liu Lan so much that she suffered from urinary incontinence.

“Ahhh! I…I said it! I said it!”

Liu Lan cried, "It was... it was my ex-lover! He... he found me years ago and tried to threaten me, asking me for money. I... where did I have any money? He said he would beat me up, and I really had no choice but to remember that you had the allowance that Li Zhan sent back, which must be a lot of money! So I... I told him. But... I really didn't know he would take your child away... wuwuwu!"

Xia Juanjuan sneered: "You don't know? If you don't know, they left a letter asking you to deliver the money? It didn't even say where to meet up or when to deliver it. How do you know where to deliver it?"

Liu Lan was suddenly at a loss for words.

"Speak! Or die! It's your choice!" Xia Juanjuan said quietly, the kitchen knife in her hand pointed at Liu Lan's neck.

"I'll tell you! I...I know their hideout in the mountains. We agreed to wait for three days and then bring the money to them at the latest..."

Liu Lan didn't say anything, and instead of releasing the children, she killed them directly...

Only if something happened to the children, would Li Zhan blame Xia Juanjuan for not taking good care of the children, causing the children to get into trouble! Only then would he be likely to divorce Xia Juanjuan.

By then, she would go and have a good talk with Li Zhan, swear and curse to ask for forgiveness, and from now on...she would rely on Li Zhan to support her in her old age...

Liu Lan didn't dare to say these plans out loud. She cried, "I... I can lead the way for you and bring the kids back... Please don't kill me... Wuwuwu!"

At this time, the door was also knocked open by someone outside.

Secretary Zhao and the village women's director both came over.

However, after they entered the door, they did not stop Xia Juanjuan.

They also heard what Liu Lan said just now.

Even though Xia Juanjuan said that she used a kitchen knife to scare her troops, it seems... Liu Lan is not innocent at all!

The women who came in looked at Liu Lan coldly and spat at her to express their disgust.

Xia Juanjuan was still too kind. If their child had been kidnapped by someone hired by Liu Lan, she would have swung the kitchen knife impulsively. How could she cry for no reason?

When Xia Juanjuan saw the door being pushed open and everyone else coming in, she turned around, looked at Secretary Zhao with cold eyes, and said, "Secretary Zhao, I know that what I did was wrong. After my kids are found, I will accept whatever the village or county wants to do to me..."

Secretary Zhao was also filled with indignation at Liu Lan's recent confession.

The director of the women's office at the side said, "Juanjuan, don't worry! No one saw anything today! It was Liu Lan who turned herself in because she felt guilty!"

After hearing this, everyone reacted and said in unison: "Yes! We can all testify! Liu Lan is such a bastard!"

Secretary Zhao didn't say anything else. He asked the two women to pull Liu Lan up, and then immediately asked her to lead the way to find the hiding place of those people in the mountains.

However, they were also afraid that if they made too big a move, the criminals would find out and end up hurting the gang members. Therefore, they planned to have a woman of similar stature to Liu Lan wear Liu Lan's clothes, pretend to be Liu Lan, take the money, and go over to make the deal. The others would quietly form a circle based on the location provided by Liu Lan, and gradually shrink the encirclement.

Xia Juanjuan couldn't wait for all this. After listening to Liu Lan's description of the location of the mountain, she sneaked into the mountain.

The location Liu Lan mentioned is very deep in the forest and is relatively hidden. It would take too much time to wait for the search team to get there!

After entering the mountain, I immediately entered the space and then teleported to the bushes near the location Liu Lan mentioned.

Fortunately, she had traveled almost all over the mountains in the past two years, so she knew the place Liu Lan was talking about, so she was able to teleport here in an instant.

Unfortunately, she still came up empty-handed!

There were bloodstains, torn clothes and fallen shoes on the ground, but no one was seen!

Xia Juanjuan's heart skipped a beat. This... clearly looked like she had been attacked.

No wonder I heard a sound similar to a wooden warehouse just now! It might be the sound of these guys opening the wooden warehouse to fight the beasts that were about to attack them!

Xia Juanjuan suddenly felt as if her dirty heart was mixed with all the other dirt in her body, and she felt so sick that she wanted to vomit.

Could it be that her children... had already been murdered?

This group of criminals, since they took the child away for money, they definitely have no conscience.

If they were really attacked by wild beasts, then... in order to survive, their first reaction would definitely be to throw the children, who had no ability to fight back, to the wild beasts, so as to buy time to escape!

No...no!

No way!

Her children must still be alive! Otherwise, she, as a mother, would definitely be able to feel it! Impossible!

Xia Juanjuan got up and started chasing after the traces left by those who had fled in panic.

Then... I saw two people whose faces had been completely disfigured and whose deaths looked horrible!

Xia Juanjuan almost vomited again. She stepped back and traced other traces again. She didn't find the dead body again, but she found a small shoe.

Xia Juanjuan hugged Xiaoxie and finally couldn't hold back her tears.

However, she didn't dare to waste any more time or use any more space, for fear of missing any corner!

She didn't dare to use a flashlight or anything like that for fear that the criminals or wild animals would see Zhao Ming and discover her.

Fortunately, after walking in the dark for a long time, I could see the scenery around me.

Even so, his clothes were scratched in many places, he fell several times, and his body was bruised and scratched in many places.

But she had no time to care. Right now, even if the sky fell, it was not as important as her finding her children!

Suddenly, in the silent forest, you heard the cry of a child.

Xia Juanjuan's heart tightened, and then she burst into tears of joy. She recognized that it was Ye Ye's crying!

At least it proves that Ye Ye... no, the children are still alive!

However, the crying sound only lasted for a moment and then stopped abruptly. Then, suddenly there was a sound of wooden creaking!

Not sure if it was because of the sound of Mu Cang that they were frightened, but the crying sounded again. This time, Xia Juanjuan could hear that all three little ones were crying.

Xia Juanjuan was happy, anxious and scared. She was also worried about whether Xiaowen was okay. She immediately entered the space and tried to teleport to the place where the sound came from.
