Han Yixian felt both guilty and frightened after hearing his mother-in-law's words. He had never seen his mother-in-law like this before.
He felt guilty because what his mother-in-law said was true. He truly owed He Yuhan a lot. Moreover, he hadn't protected He Yuhan well, putting her in danger of death multiple times.
What frightened him even more was the information revealed in his mother-in-law's words—that she must be thinking that she regretted marrying her daughter to him.
After Yuhan comes back, will her mother-in-law make Yuhan leave her?
That's absolutely unacceptable. No one can let Yuhan leave him. They're already married and have a child. Yuhan is his life, and he won't let her leave him.
He didn't blame his mother-in-law; he understood how she felt. He figured he would have the same thought if his own daughter had been in that situation.
Everyone in the room was stunned by Yu Huiru's words and her demeanor. Yu Huiru had always been gentle and virtuous, and had never been so fierce and assertive before.
Wang Yuqiao, who was standing next to her, was also a mother. She understood Yu Huiru's feelings very well and even agreed with her. Yuhan was also her daughter, and of course she felt sorry for her too.
She didn't care how good the family her daughter married or how outstanding the son-in-law was; none of that mattered more than her daughter's safety. Her current son-in-law was excellent in every way, but considering the repeated dangers he had brought to her daughter, he wasn't a good match.
I don't know what will happen to my daughter and grandson this time. What good is a son-in-law if my daughter is gone?
The more she thought about it, the more terrified she became, but she dared not say anything. She could only hold Yu Huiru's hand tightly and weep silently. All she could do was pray to God to bless her daughter and bring her back safely.
Seeing his wife's expression, He Chenglin knew how distressed she was. He couldn't bear to blame her, but instead reminded her, "Huiru, everyone is very worried about Yuhan and the child's accident. This is not what Yixian wanted to see either."
Yu Huiru still gave her husband face in public, so she didn't say anything more, but just cried silently.
At this moment, He Zhendong and Huo Xicheng walked into the living room. Everyone stood up upon seeing them.
He Chenglin's voice trembled slightly as he asked, "Zhendong, have you found any leads?"
He Zhendong glanced at his mother and said, "The truck the other party was driving has been found at the dock on the coast of D City. Someone saw a woman holding a child and several men board a fishing boat."
We suspect that Yuhan and the child were coerced onto the fishing boat. We couldn't find the fishing boat on the beach.
It was already dark, and we couldn't go out to sea to look for the fishing boat.
What He Zhendong didn't say was that they simply didn't have the resources to immediately send a boat out to sea to search. The sea was pitch black, making it impossible to discern directions or search. This delay would make everything too late.
As He Zhendong stood by the sea, a terrifying thought even crossed his mind: What if Scorpion killed him and threw the body into the sea to destroy the evidence? Or what if he took his younger sister and child and ran away to another place, so that they would never find him again?
When Yu Huiru heard that her daughter had been taken onto a boat, she knew there was no chance of escape in the vast ocean. If she searched for her daughter again at dawn, she would never find her. Her daughter had simply vanished without a trace, and perhaps she had been killed and thrown into the sea, leaving no trace of her body.
Yu Huiru felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if it were being stabbed, and then everything went black and she knew nothing more.
He Zhendong had been watching his mother closely. As soon as he saw her body go limp, he knew something was wrong. He quickly hugged her and cried out, "Mom, Mom, what's wrong?"
He Chenglin panicked when he saw his wife faint. He quickly instructed his second son to carry his wife into the car and then they went to the hospital together.
His daughter is already in trouble, and if anything happens to his wife, he won't want to live anymore.
With his mother-in-law in trouble, Han Yixian naturally had to go and check on her, leaving his father at home to keep an eye on Yuhan and the child.
The Liang and Du families also went to the hospital. The Han family home was immediately left empty.
Han Xiao looked at the empty house and sighed deeply, saying resentfully, "Damn scorpion."
It was almost dawn, and Han Xiao looked at his haggard wife and said, "Jinyu, you haven't slept all night either, go and get some rest."
Wen Jinyu wiped away her tears and said, "How can I sleep? I don't know how Yuhan and the child are doing. My mother-in-law has also collapsed. That damned villain, what kind of skill is it to target women and children?"
Liu Zhongyi sighed beside him, "Women and children are the easiest to control. Jinyu, listen to me and go rest for a while. It would be good for you to lie down inside. Your mother-in-law is already sick and hospitalized. You can't afford to fall ill too. There are still many things at home that need your help."
Wen Jinyu knew her older brother was right. She hadn't rested for a day and a night, and with such a big thing happening, she really couldn't take it anymore. She couldn't collapse, otherwise she wouldn't be able to help her family and would have to rely on others to take care of her.
She stood up and said, "Then I'll go inside and lie down for a while."
Liu Zhongyi had seen his sister earlier but hesitated to speak, fearing Wen Jinyu wouldn't be able to handle it. Now that it was just Han Xiao and Liu Zhongyi, he said, "Han Xiao, this matter is difficult now. Why didn't Scorpion go to Yi Xian after capturing Yu Han and the child? Didn't he want revenge on Yi Xian? With Yu Han and the child as hostages, why didn't he seek revenge? Why did he leave with Yu Han and the child?"
Han Xiao frowned and said, "I think he wants to leave our sphere of influence. After all, we have a greater advantage in City C. Judging from the current situation, that small fishing boat can't take them too far. After all, we might encounter storms at any time at sea. A small fishing boat simply can't withstand them."
Liu Zhongyi looked at Han Xiao and said, "What if there's another large ship at sea to provide support?"
Han Xiao's eyes widened upon hearing this. "You mean Scorpion might have already arranged for a large ship to meet us at sea?"
Then Han Xiao thought of a possibility and said, "If that's the case, once the scorpions get on the big ship, they can fly far away. They might go abroad, and then we'll never find them again."
Yes, he took Yuhan and the child away. Whether he killed them or not, Yixian will never find them again in this lifetime. Yixian will live a life worse than death.
This scorpion is truly ruthless; it's even more vicious than killing Yixian. If that's the case, what will become of Yixian in the future?
Liu Zhongyi's eyes were bloodshot; how could he not know the consequences?
“If Yuhan and the child cannot be saved, Yixian’s life will be ruined. We all know what Yuhan means to him. If Yuhan is gone, we will also lose Yixian.”
Wen Jinyu, in her bedroom, wasn't resting. She secretly stood behind the door and overheard her elder brother and husband's terrifying speculation, her body nearly collapsing. If it were really like that, what would Yixian do? What would happen to this family? Without a daughter-in-law and grandson, this family was finished.
