Su Xiangbei knew that Meng Shuyun was also a money-loving person, and how could she not be tempted by Su Xiangnan's generous compensation?
In his view, as long as Meng Shuyun nodded, everything was negotiable, and once the money was in hand, he would be the one to call the shots.
Thinking of this, a ruthless glint flashed in Su Xiangbei's eyes.
But when he heard Meng Shuyun's firm rejection, he was stunned for a moment, completely unprepared for this outcome.
"you……"
Su Xiangbei gritted his teeth, and after a long while, he managed to utter, "You'll regret this one day!"
He looked up and saw the police officers walking quickly towards him. Panicked, he quickly ripped off his collar and fled like a stray dog, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Meng Shuyun still clutched the torn collar in her hand, her eyes deep and unfathomable, and murmured softly, "My biggest regret is giving birth to a bunch of ungrateful wretches, parasites on society! If I were twenty years younger, none of you would have crawled out of my womb!"
At this moment, the police officer had already walked up to Meng Shuyun, scrutinizing her sharply, and asked, "We received a report from the public that someone is trafficking women. Please show us your letter of introduction."
Meng Shuyun casually tossed aside the fabric in her hand, hurriedly took out her letter of introduction, and explained, "Officer, this is all a misunderstanding. This is my... daughter-in-law."
"Grandma..." Gu Xue called softly.
Meng Shuyun: "..."
Speechless for a moment, unsure how to respond.
The police officer looked puzzled and asked, "Is this your daughter-in-law? Are you sure it's not your daughter?"
"That's my daughter-in-law, and that was just now my son..."
Meng Shuyun recounted the events that had just occurred in detail.
“This unfilial son has done such a heartless thing; he doesn’t deserve to be called a human being! If you catch him, don’t be soft-hearted; you must teach him a lesson.”
"Okay, we understand."
The police officer handed over his notebook. "Sign here and you can leave. As for Su Xiangbei, we'll keep an eye on him too."
...
Inside the village committee.
Su Xiangnan's face was terribly gloomy as he slowly put the phone back in its place.
Just now, on the other end of the phone, he heard a familiar street vendor's cry, a local delicacy unique to Tengzhen that he would never forget in either of his lives.
Did you think that sending a man to deliver the message would keep it from him?
He immediately guessed that Meng Shuyun was behind it all.
Su Xiangnan returned to his residence without saying a word, and Su Dahai followed cautiously behind him, feeling uneasy.
"Xiang Nan, what did they say on the phone? Have they found Gu Xue? If not, should we just report it to the police?" Su Dahai asked tentatively.
Although he and Su Xiangbei had conspired beforehand, he was still terrified when he saw Su Xiangnan's sinister appearance and heard him remain silent.
Su Xiangnan served in the army for several years, and even now, sitting in a wheelchair, his fierce aura still makes people afraid to approach him.
"It's just what you heard."
Su Xiangnan abruptly replied and pushed his wheelchair back on his own. When he passed the Meng family's courtyard, he suddenly stopped.
From the courtyard came a woman's voice soothing a child, along with words of comfort.
"Xiulan, you've been in postpartum confinement for over twenty days now. Don't stay cooped up in the house all the time. Take the baby out for some fresh air and sunshine, and you can also interact with people outside."
"Yes, yes, I'll listen to my aunt."
Su Xiangnan turned to Su Dahai behind him and said, "Dad, could you please find me a car? I need to go to Teng County to find Xue'er."
Su Dahai's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly replied, "Okay, okay, I'll go right away, and I'll go with you."
Su Xiangnan entered the room, his dark eyes as calm as a stagnant pool, and his expression regained some semblance of calm.
He pulled a basket of liquor from under the bed, thinking to himself,
I was too kind!
Su Xiangnan watched as Su Xiulan left the house and entered the Meng family's kitchen, then began to pour out the wine little by little.
Beneath his seemingly calm eyes, hatred was almost bursting forth.
Then, a match lit in his hand...
Su Dahai was looking for Su Xiangnan when he saw him coming out of the Meng family's courtyard, which surprised him greatly.
"Xiang Nan, we've borrowed the car, we can leave now. You, how did you get out of the yard?"
Su Xiangnan pushed the wheelchair and said expressionlessly, "Let's go now, the sooner the better."
At this moment, Su Xiulan and Zhang Laidi each held a little one. The little ones squinted their eyes, curiously turned their little heads, and looked out at the world.
When the neighbors who were passing by saw Su Xiulan, they all smiled and went up to tease the child.
"Xiulan, you're really amazing. Your two children are so chubby and healthy. They're definitely blessed."
"What's the use of feeding two good-for-nothings like that? If it were me, I would have drowned them in the chamber pot long ago. It's a waste of food. They'll just end up belonging to someone else anyway."
Some people say nice things, while others say sour things.
Zhang Laidi, holding her sister, stood steadily and kicked the talkative woman in the calf.
"Can't you speak properly? If you can't, shut up! Your mouth smells like you ate feces! Stay away from us, don't stink up the baby."
"Can't I even say that? A worthless thing is a worthless thing, who cares about it? Humph!"
"Oh dear, whose house is on fire! There's so much smoke!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the fire, and someone exclaimed in surprise.
"Xiulan, isn't that your home?"
Su Xiulan's face turned deathly pale instantly. That was indeed the direction of her home. Her heart jumped into her throat, and cold sweat broke out on her back.
