Ma Yunfei left Xiao Jie's home phone number. He made an agreement with the Sherlock Holmes Detective Agency: he would receive a call from the agency every night at 10 p.m. to report Wang Xiaobian's whereabouts for the day.
Ma Yunfei walked out of the Sherlock Holmes Detective Agency and strolled around the street.
Suddenly, his collar was grabbed by the back.
"You brat, it really was you who did this! Come on, let's go to the police station."
Ma Yunfei turned his head and saw that the person grabbing him by the back of his collar was Xia Tian's father, Xia Jiufa.
"President Xia, what... what are you doing?"
"Why are you talking to me? You brat, you actually kidnapped my daughter! I've suspected you've been up to no good for a long time. Hand my daughter back right now!"
Ma Yunfei retorted, "President Xia, are you... are you drunk? Why are you talking nonsense? How could I... how could I kidnap Xia Tian? Even a fool wouldn't blame me."
"You brat, I knew you wouldn't admit it. Come on, let's go to the police station."
"Mr. Xia, you have wronged me."
Seeing that Ma Yuntian refused to go to the police station, Xia Yunfei shouted loudly, "Everyone, let's judge this: This kid seduced my daughter and then hid her. What do you think? Shouldn't he go to the police station to explain himself?"
A crowd of onlookers gathered around.
An older woman said angrily, "This guy is obviously no good. My daughter was once seduced by a bad boy and got pregnant. I think we can't let him get away with this. We should drag him to the police station right away."
An elderly man also said angrily, "Men who like to seduce girls shouldn't be let off easily. My opinion is: beat him up first, and then send him to the police station."
A young man rolled up his sleeves, rubbed his hands together, and said, "I haven't beaten anyone up in days, my hands are itching to do it. Today I'll have my fun."
He walked over as he spoke.
Just then, a girl suddenly shouted, "Stop it, all of you! Anyone who dares to lay a finger on Brother Ma, I'll make sure they're crawling on the ground with their teeth knocked out!"
Wild Girl seemed to fly down from the clouds and stood in front of Ma Yunfei.
The young man stared coldly at the wild girl and warned, "You little brat, you're so young but you've got quite the nerve. A man doesn't hit women, so get out of my way."
Wild Girl raised her leg and kicked out.
The young man fell backward, landing hard on his buttocks.
Another young man rushed up and accused her, "You little wench, are you the Queen Mother of the West reincarnated? I don't believe you have any real power."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Ye Ya punched him in the face.
The young man took a few steps back and was helped up by a middle-aged man.
He covered his face and spat out a mouthful of blood, which contained two teeth.
"Oh my god! You...you knocked out all my teeth..."
Wild Girl said angrily, "Serves you right! I only used three-tenths of my strength. If I had used ten, you wouldn't have a single tooth left."
The young man was so frightened that he ran away immediately.
The young man, who had been thrown to the ground and landed hard on his backside, struggled for a while before finally getting up. He said defiantly, "You little brat, just you wait, I'll call someone to teach you a lesson."
Wild Girl said disdainfully, "You're a grown man, and you were beaten so badly by a little girl like me that you had to run away in a sorry state. Are you still not convinced? You want to call a bunch of people to beat up a little girl like me? You're really spineless."
The onlookers burst into laughter.
An elderly woman said disapprovingly, "Young lady, why are you protecting this bad man? He abducted someone else's daughter and should be punished by law."
Ye Ya said confidently, "He's not a bad person, he's my older brother, and this uncle has wronged him."
Xia Jiu stared at the wild girl in disbelief and asked, "Who are you?"
Ye Ya patted her chest and replied, "I am Ye Ya, the girl from Longwang Mountain who can hit the bullseye with a single shot, and I am also Ma Yunfei's sister."
Although Yi Qiangzhun is famous throughout the area around Qinglong Town, no one in City A, hundreds of kilometers away from Qinglong Town, has ever heard of his name.
Xia Jiufa loosened his grip and asked timidly, "Xiao Ma, is she the girl you brought from Qinglong Town?"
Ma Yunfei nodded.
"Little Ma, I'm asking you: Where is my daughter?"
Before Ma Yunfei could answer, Ye Ya interrupted, "You're the boss whose daughter went missing, right? Our Brother Ma is here to rescue your daughter, but you're accusing him! That's outrageous!"
Xia Jiu asked in confusion, "Xiao Ma, have you heard that my daughter is missing?"
“Five days ago, Xiaojie called me and told me that Xia Tian had suddenly disappeared, so I rushed over the next day and have been staying at Xiaojie’s house ever since. The reason I didn’t visit you is that I know you dislike me and don’t want me to get involved in this matter.”
Xia Jiu asked, "You've been here for five days, have you found out anything?"
Ma Yunfei didn't want Xia Jiufa to know about his investigation because he didn't want to bring Wang Xiaobian to justice.
"Mr. Ma, I've been wandering around the streets and alleys these past few days, trying to find clues about Xia Tian's disappearance."
Wild Girl interrupted, "My brother has already..."
Ma Yunfei waved his hand, interrupting Ye Ya, and scolded, "Ye Ya, you have no right to speak here."
Yeya realized she had said the wrong thing, stuck out her tongue, and didn't continue.
Xia Jiufa seemed to have noticed something and asked, "Xiao Ma, have you found any clues about my daughter's disappearance?"
"Not yet. I guess nothing major will happen this summer. Maybe she went on a trip with someone and didn't tell you beforehand because she was worried you wouldn't be at ease."
Xia Jiufa asked doubtfully, "You mean my daughter is going on a trip with someone? Who will she go with? Besides you, my daughter doesn't have any other good men."
"Mr. Xia, why do you always suspect that I would seduce your daughter? I really don't know whether to laugh or cry, this is... this is too unfair to me."
Xia Jiu asked Ye Ya, "Miss, do you know where my daughter is?"
"Ask my brother."
Xia Jiufa suddenly changed his tone and said in a humble manner, "Xiao Ma, if you know where my daughter is, please tell me. Don't make me feel like I'm being scratched by a cat. Ever since my daughter went missing, I haven't been able to eat or sleep. Look, haven't I lost a lot of weight?"
Ma Yunfei looked Xia Jiufa up and down and felt that he had lost a lot of weight and looked very haggard.
Ma Yunfei felt a pang of sympathy and wanted to tell Xia Jiufa that Xia Tian had been kidnapped by Wang Xiaobian, but he was only being held captive and was not in any danger.
The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he swallowed them back down.
This matter cannot be discussed. If it is, Xia Jiufa will immediately report it to the police, and the police will summon Wang Xiaobian for questioning.
