Chapter 37 He came to help her find the old lady
Song Yilin calmed down, looked at the community environment and surveillance footage, and methodically arranged the family's work.
“Grandma, go to the community's security room and check the surveillance footage to see where Grandma might have gone. Mom, go to the lakeside nearby. Guanqun, go home and check your phone for any news, then post missing person notices on different platforms.”
Song Yilin went directly to the nearby police station and, with reason and empathy, told the police officers that the old lady might have attempted suicide. The police officers felt that the matter was quite serious and sent people out to look for her.
Mu Yunzi usually only gives Xu Yijing half an hour on his phone, and as soon as the time is up, he eagerly comes to find Mu Yunzi.
The first thing I did after getting my phone was check the messages, and I saw the pinned message in the group chat.
Xu Yijing immediately called Bai Guanqun, who was crying and unable to utter a complete sentence on the phone.
Xu Yijing hurriedly went out, but was stopped by Mu Yunzi just as he reached the door.
"where you go?"
Xu Yijing stammered, "I'll go out for a bit."
"No, you can't. Stay home."
"Auntie, you didn't even ask me why I needed to go out."
You are not allowed to go out no matter what.
Xu Yijing knew he wouldn't let Mu Yunzi leave in this state, so he quietly slipped out after Mu Yunzi went to the restroom.
As soon as he stepped outside, he saw his brother and secretary, Li Muzi, returning.
If he goes out, his brother won't interfere too much, but it's still necessary to say: "Brother, my good friend's great-grandmother is missing. I'm going to help look for her."
Xu Qingmin gestured to his secretary to escort Xu Yijing.
After taking Xu Yijing to his destination, Li Muzi learned that it was someone's great-grandmother who had gone missing.
After thinking about it, I decided to call my boss.
"Mr. Xu, I've taken the second young master to his destination."
"good."
Seeing that Xu Qingmin was about to hang up, Li Muzi quickly said, "It's because Director Song's grandmother is missing."
There was a moment of silence on the phone: "Have someone send Xu Yijing back. You stay here and keep an eye on things."
Xu Yijing was completely bewildered when he was sent back.
······
It was already past 10 p.m., and the police had searched all the places the elderly woman might have gone in the neighborhood.
My mother-in-law has also reviewed the surveillance footage; half of the surveillance cameras in the neighborhood are broken.
I can't see where Grandma went at all.
Song Yilin asked people in the community and nearby, but no one had seen where the old lady had gone.
Ke Qu was spotted in the crowd.
There was a woman standing next to him.
Song Yilin grabbed Ke Qu and looked at the woman beside him: "Are you Ke Qu's mother? What did you say to my old lady?"
Song Yilin's eyes were terrifying. Ke's mother stammered, "What does it have to do with me that your old lady is missing? I was just trying to help you look for her."
An old woman in the crowd said, "It's just that Grandma Ke and Grandma Bai are gossiping. What business is it of hers if their granddaughter-in-law is willing to take care of her grandmother?"
Another slightly younger woman said, "Isn't it just that her son went on a blind date with Song Yilin? At first, he was unwilling because he heard that she had to support three elderly people. Now that he heard that she has become a general manager, he thinks that she is rich and wants to take advantage of her. So he is gossiping and trying to drive the old lady away."
This statement sparked a huge wave of gossip, with many accusing the Ke family mother and son of being inhuman.
Seeing that the crowd was not on her side, Ke's mother shouted, "Am I wrong? Song Yilin has no blood relation with the old lady of the Bai family. She has her own daughter. Instead of going to her daughter's place, she eats and drinks for free at her granddaughter-in-law's place. Song Yilin is a divorced woman with a child. It is her good fortune that my Ke Qu has chosen her."
The old lady did have a daughter. When Bai Ye passed away, the old lady wanted to go and live with her daughter. However, the old lady's daughter demanded that the 601 be transferred to her name. The old lady had given tens of thousands of yuan when she bought the 601, but the majority of the money came from her father-in-law and mother-in-law, and the loan was also paid by her father-in-law and mother-in-law. The old lady was not entitled to the transfer of the property. The old lady's daughter used this as an excuse to kick her out, so they have not been in contact for many years.
Before Ke's mother could finish speaking, Song Yilin slapped her hard, sending her rolling on the ground twice. Ke's mother was stunned by the slap and touched her face in disbelief.
When Ke Qu saw his mother being beaten, he stepped forward and grabbed Song Yilin, raising his other hand.
Song Yilin was prepared to be hit by Ke Qu, but the slap never landed.
Song Yilin opened her eyes and saw Xu Qingmin grabbing Ke Qu's hand.
Ke Qu's voice trembled slightly: "President Xu, why did you come here?"
Ke's mother screamed and tried to grab Xu Qingmin, but was restrained by Xu Qingmin's bodyguards.
Li Muzi whispered in Xu Qingmin's ear, "This is the sales manager of our Yingbin Hotel building."
"Working for Xu's? The company doesn't need a sales manager who hits women."
"clear."
Ke's mother was still cursing and swearing. Ke Qu gestured for his mother to shut up, but she was too angry to listen: "Song Yilin has a lover and still goes on blind dates with my son, shameless! Bah! You're a jinx! Your husband's death and your father-in-law's death were both caused by you!"
Ke Qu stepped forward and covered his mother's mouth, then gritted his teeth and whispered, "That's my boss."
Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Ke's mother's legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground.
Ke's mother has always been proud that Ke Qu works for the Xu Group. If Ke Qu loses his job, she will have nothing left.
Song Yilin squatted down and looked down at Ke's mother: "Listen to me carefully, if anything happens to my old lady, I will never forgive you. You better pray that my old lady is alright."
Regardless of whether the old lady was in trouble or not, Song Yilin had no intention of letting this woman go.
Song Yilin doesn't have the energy to deal with the mother and son right now; the most important thing is to find the old lady.
Song Yilin borrowed an electric scooter and prepared to search the streets and alleys.
Xu Qingmin stopped her: "Give me the old lady's photo and characteristics, and I'll help you find her."
As Song Yilin gazed into Xu Qingmin's eyes, something inside her seemed to soften.
"Thank you, Mr. Xu."
"Get in the car, I'll take you there."
Xu Qingmin pointed to his Maybach.
Song Yilin shook her head: "No, the car is too big. It's more convenient for me to ride an electric bike through the alleys."
Xu Qingmin held out his hand: "Give me the key. You're distracted right now, and it's dangerous for you to ride by yourself. I'll ride it, and you can find someone."
After instructing Li Muzi on how to find the person, Xu Qingmin got on his electric scooter. Xu Qingmin's group of bodyguards and employees looked at their tall boss riding a small electric scooter and could hardly believe their eyes.
"Come on up!"
Song Yilin found Xu Qingmin riding an electric bike incredibly incongruous, somewhat like someone dressed in a suit and tie rolling up his trousers to go to the field to plant rice seedlings.
Song Yilin froze for a moment before getting on the electric scooter.
"Mr. Xu, when did you last ride an electric scooter?"
Xu Qingmin calmly said from the front, "I've never ridden one. I've only ridden motorcycles and bicycles."
Song Yilin's eyes suddenly widened, she tightened her helmet, and gripped Xu Qingmin's clothes tightly with both hands.
"Where is the old lady most likely to go?"
"I don't know, I've thought of everything I can think of."
The mother-in-law just called the old lady's daughter, and the old lady didn't go anywhere.
What chilled Song Yilin even more was that even though the old lady was in such a state, her daughter didn't say a single word of concern.
