Fang Yun looked hurt upon hearing her husband's words, but she had no choice but to obey him and stepped forward to tug at Huangfu Xin'er.
Huangfu Xin'er couldn't bear to see her mother suffer such humiliation. She broke free from Fang Yun's grasp and began to hurl insults at Huangfu Shenghua, "If you hadn't been unable to control your lust, this wouldn't have happened. Don't always blame my mother. She only lets you take advantage of her because she cares about you too much. You are not fit to be a husband, much less a father."
Upon hearing this, Huangfu Shenghua instantly flew into a rage and reached out to hit Huangfu Xin'er.
Old Master Huangfu was very displeased when he heard Huangfu Xin'er's words. Seeing his son about to take action, he immediately scolded him.
"Have you made enough of a scene?!"
Before his hand could fall, Huangfu Ming grabbed it from the side, staring at Huangfu Shenghua as if he were a stranger.
"She is not someone you can touch, even if you are her father."
Fang Yun was terrified when she saw her daughter about to be beaten, fearing that her husband would hit her too hard and hurt her. She breathed a slight sigh of relief when her son intervened and stopped him.
Huangfu Shenghua was frightened by Huangfu Ming's gaze. That gaze gave him a feeling that if he really hit Huangfu Xin'er, Huangfu Ming would not let him off the hook.
For a moment, I forgot what I was supposed to do.
Upon seeing this, Huangfu Ming shook off Huangfu Shenghua's hand, turned his head, and left the old man with a nonchalant remark.
"Grandpa, Xin'er and Mother were frightened. I'll take them back to their room to rest first."
Before Old Master Huangfu could speak, she led Huangfu Xin'er and her mother out of the room.
Watching the three leave, Old Master Huangfu looked at his son with exasperation, "Look what you've done."
Huangfu Shenghua was able to come to his senses and only realized what he had done in front of the old man after hearing his words.
He immediately lowered his head in shame, not daring to say anything more.
Grandpa Huangfu stared at the doorway, lost in thought, unsure whether he had done the right thing.
——
At the door of Grandpa Huangfu's room
Just as Huangfu Ming stepped out of the room, he ran into Ye Mohan and his companion who had come looking for him.
He was a little puzzled; these two had suddenly come to see him, perhaps not to catch up with old friends.
Huangfu Ming stopped and asked, noticing Ye Mohan's gloomy and somewhat displeased expression, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Huangfu Xin'er, standing to the side, was still shaken. Recalling what she had just said, she felt a chill of fear.
Hearing Huangfu Ming's words, she looked up, and her previously distressed mood instantly turned as hot as a summer day.
He looked at Ye Mohan with a smile, about to say something, but Zhou Yuxuan spoke first.
"Something might have happened to my sister-in-law."
Seeing that there were other people around, Zhou Yuxuan didn't say much, just gave a brief explanation.
Although those people were Huangfu Ming's relatives.
The disappearance of my sister-in-law is no small matter; the fewer people who know about her, the less risk there is.
Huangfu Xin'er was puzzled when she heard this.
Didn't she just see Jian Yixue?
How did they suddenly disappear?
Just as Huangfu Xin'er was about to speak, she suddenly thought that if something happened to Jian Yixue, wouldn't that be exactly what she wanted?
Huangfu Xin'er remained silent and did not mention that she had just met Jian Yixue.
Feigning surprise, she said, "No way, although our Huangfu family's security can't compare to Brother Mo Han's family, it's still very meticulous. Could it be that she went somewhere on her own?"
Huangfu Xin'er really wanted to say something to Jian Yixue, but when she thought of how Ye Mohan had defended Jian Yixue yesterday, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
Now that Jian Yixue is gone, she'd better make a good impression on Brother Mo Han; maybe that way she can win his favor.
"Won't."
As soon as Huangfu Xin'er finished speaking, Ye Mohan, who was frowning beside her, immediately spoke up.
Xue'er had promised him she would eat in the lobby, so it was impossible for her to leave without saying goodbye; that wasn't her style.
Before coming up, I specifically asked someone to search the entire area around the hall, but we still couldn't find anything.
Upon hearing this, Huangfu Xin'er felt an unbearable sadness welling up inside her, mixed with a hint of jealousy, and for a moment she forgot to speak.
How long has Mo Han Ge known Jian Yi Xue? How can he trust her so much?
Is their relationship really that deep?
Then she...
Huangfu Xin'er tried her best to calm her tears, which were about to get out of control.
Hearing Ye Mohan's words, Huangfu Ming subconsciously looked at his younger sister. Seeing the unusual emotion on her face that she couldn't hide, he felt a pang of pain in his heart.
Huangfu Ming turned to his mother and said, "Mom, take your sister back to her room first."
Fang Yun glanced at her daughter, who looked rather unnatural, nodded to Huangfu Ming, and walked over to take Huangfu Xin'er's hand and leave the place.
Huangfu Xin'er was immersed in disappointment and followed Fang Yun away blankly.
After watching the two leave, Huangfu Ming turned to Ye Mohan and the other person and said, "Come with me, let's talk in the study."
Zhou Yuxuan glanced at Ye Mohan, and seeing that he didn't say anything, he nodded to Huangfu Ming, and then the three of them went to the study together.
In the study
Ye Mohan and the other two sat on the sofa. Huangfu Ming, the host, asked, "What happened? Wasn't your sister-in-law just in the living room?"
When he left, he did see Ye Mohan and Jian Yixue standing together, but they suddenly disappeared.
Ye Mohan didn't answer, turning his phone as if he was thinking about something.
Seeing this, Zhou Yuxuan explained, "My sister-in-law went to eat something. My second brother had some things to discuss with me, so we went out to chat for a while. When my second brother returned to the hall, my sister-in-law was nowhere to be found."
Furthermore, we found a person who had been knocked unconscious at the lobby entrance, and they have been taken away for questioning. We came here to check the surveillance footage.
After listening, Huangfu Ming roughly understood the ins and outs of the matter. He nodded, got up, went to his office, retrieved his notebook, opened it, and handed it to Ye Mohan.
Huangfu Ming knew that Ye Mohan was very skilled in computer technology.
He must be in a hurry right now, so he handed the computer to Ye Mohan.
Ye Mohan didn't refuse. He placed his phone on the coffee table and his slender fingers flew across the keyboard.
With their eyes glued to the surveillance footage of the Huangfu family villa flashing on the screen, Zhou Yuxuan and Huangfu Ming sat beside Ye Mohan, watching the screen together, afraid of missing any clues.

Suburbs of the capital
On an undeveloped beach
After carrying Jian Yixue out of the Huangfu family's house, Jiang Xuanjin drove straight here.
Jian Yixue looked at Jiang Xuanjin sitting on the reef in front of her and was a little confused. She didn't understand why he brought her here and then didn't say anything, just looked at the sea and felt the sea breeze by himself.
What does this mean?
He risked so much to go to the Huangfu family banquet and take her away, just to watch the sea with her?
