Chapter 26: Heartache

As soon as these words came out, the color on Li Yueqin's face faded away, but she was still resisting. As long as she couldn't find the person, she couldn't convict them!

"You, you, you are talking nonsense, I didn't... Don't take advantage of your wealth to bully honest people."

Mrs. Ye smiled coldly and looked at Ye Baoxin. Her gaze was as deep as the abyss and chilled people all over. "You have always known this, right?"

Ye Bao was unwilling to be beaten back to her original form, "Mom, what are you talking about? I am your daughter, I really am."

Mrs. Ye is already tired. She came here today to find her daughter. She doesn't have the energy to care about anything else now. There is still a long way to go, isn't there?

"Master Bai, help me..."

She was so weak at this moment that it made people feel distressed.

Bai Youyou saw it and hesitated for a while, then spoke, "There is a yard behind the house, and inside there is a small bungalow full of miscellaneous items..."

She listened to the instructions in the headset and walked straight towards the direction Bai Youyou said. She looked so familiar, as if she had lived here before.

Seeing her find the backyard, Li Yueqin's alarm bells rang and she immediately looked at her husband. However, Jiang Tiankai was not in a hurry. Unless there was a surveillance camera installed in their house, it would be the same no matter who came.

They followed Mrs. Ye and tried to stop them, but the bodyguards they brought were all very strong and powerful, and it would be like an ant trying to stop a tree if they tried to stop them.

I walked to the backyard and saw the small storage room that Bai Youyou mentioned. I closed my eyes and wondered if her daughter lived in such a bad environment? They lived in a villa and let her daughter live in a storage room?

She prepared herself mentally for a while, thinking about what expression she would have when facing her own children. She felt homesick and her hand, which was now on the door, could not help but tremble.

The door was pushed open, revealing a bungalow of about 50 square meters that looked like a small warehouse. It was straight and one could see the end at a glance. Various old furniture were piled up inside, but no one was to be seen.

She was panicking and worried that Master Bai had made a wrong judgment, so she asked cautiously, "Master Bai, how come there is nothing?"

"See that five-box cabinet in the far right corner?"

Mrs. Ye looked over and saw an old five-drawer cabinet leaning quietly against the wall.

"The door is empty. You'll see if you open it."

She pulled open the handle of the cabinet door that should have been a drawer, but what she opened was not layers of drawers, but a door the size of a five-drawer closet, and a dark hole suddenly appeared on the ground inside.

Mrs. Ye glanced at her husband and immediately bent over to get in. Mr. Ye immediately held her back and said, "I'll go."

He squatted by the door and looked inside, only to see a blurry ladder. He signaled his subordinates to use their mobile phones to turn on the flashlights to illuminate the cave. Only then could he clearly see a custom-made ladder hanging at the entrance. He carefully climbed down the ladder...

After Mr. Ye stepped on the ground, he took out his mobile phone and turned on the flashlight. The environment he saw was like a cellar. He seemed to be standing in a hollow area with a relatively dark passage in front of him.

He walked towards the passage. It was narrow, only wide enough for an adult man to pass through in a cat-like manner. After walking about ten steps, he saw another hollow space in front of him. It seemed like there were traces of people living here, with tables and chairs.

Mr. Ye walked along the table and was stunned by the scene before him, even though he was well-informed.

Next to the table was a so-called 'bed' made of two benches and a bed board.

There was a figure curled up on top, and the body could not be seen clearly, but it looked so thin and small that it was no exaggeration to say that it was a child!

The messy long hair seemed to be scattered around the body like freely growing seaweed, covering the face tightly.

The long skirt was covered with stains and had turned yellow so much that its original color could no longer be seen. Two skinny legs were exposed from under the hem of the skirt, and the bones of the legs were particularly prominent.

Mr. Ye looked down and was stunned. On that slender ankle, there was an iron chain as thick as a baby's wrist. The color of the ankle was inconsistent with the color of the rest of the skin, as if it had been repeatedly worn and healed...

The other end of the chain was nailed firmly to the wall, and Mr. Ye felt as if his heart had been hit hard by someone, with a dull pain.

He approached the bed cautiously. The person on the bed heard the noise and quickly got up like a frightened bird. He dragged the heavy iron chain to the innermost corner and huddled himself into a ball!

He murmured to himself, "Dad, Dad, don't hit me, don't hit me, I'll be good, I'll be good..."

"My child, you have suffered..."

Mr. Ye's eyes couldn't help but get hot. He didn't dare to get any closer and just stood there, comforting her in a low voice.

"Dad, I was wrong, I was wrong, please don't hit me, please, I can do any job, please don't hit me, it hurts..."

The small ball in the corner couldn't help trembling, and Mr. Ye's heart felt like it was being stabbed by needles, and it hurt so much.

He didn't know if it was due to blood relationship, but even without seeing the child's appearance, he felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy with him.

Before he could get close, he heard a startled sob from behind. He turned around suddenly and saw his wife covering her mouth tightly, with tears rolling down her face uncontrollably.

She just missed her child too much and wanted to find her child as soon as possible. Even though she had made sufficient mental preparations, her heart sank a little when she went down to the cellar. How could such a dark place be a normal place!

Seeing the body trembling with fear, she finally couldn't help it, and quickly walked to the bedside, carefully touching the cold iron chain, "Child, child, look at us, don't be afraid."

No matter how the couple tried to comfort her, the girl was like a frightened bird, screaming and crying in fear. Mr. Ye was afraid of irritating her, so he could only pull Mrs. Ye out of the cellar first.

Mrs. Ye appeared in the live broadcast room with eyes swollen like walnuts, and Mr. Ye also had a sad face.

[What happened in the cellar? I'm so curious.]

[Yes, Mr. Ye and his wife burst into tears when they saw this. Did they see it or not? ]

[Same question, you are not crying because you are disappointed because you didn’t see him.]

[Master Bai would not have made a mistake in his calculations. He must have seen it.]

Mrs. Ye couldn't see the barrage. She just wanted to take her own child out. She looked up with bloodshot eyes. Her usual graceful and dignified demeanor turned into overwhelming anger. She rushed straight towards the person standing at the door.

“Bang!”

Li Yueqin's head tilted to one side after being hit. Ye Bao, who was standing beside her, was so depressed that he didn't dare to say anything.

"What on earth did you do to my child!!!"

Mrs. Ye let out a hysterical roar.
