Time passed and night fell, but Yi Zhiping and his wife were still nowhere to be seen.

The servants prepared dinner and laid it neatly on the table.

However, Yi Zhiping and his wife did not return home.

The old lady sat at the head of the dining table with an impatient look on her face: "What happened to Yi Zhiping? Why hasn't he come back yet?" There was a hint of dissatisfaction and anxiety in her voice.

Han Yuxi asked Yi Zhifan cautiously: "Will my uncle not welcome us? Does he think that we came to the Yi family just to compete with him for property? That's why he is so cold to us?" There was a hint of worry and uneasiness in her tone.

In ancient China, brothers often fought endlessly over family property issues, and sometimes even quarreled with each other.

Although times have changed, the greed and selfishness in human nature have not completely disappeared.

Modern people may also have conflicts and contradictions over property.

Han Yuxi observed the surrounding environment and noticed that the Yi family had no less than fifteen servants and the house was spacious and luxurious.

This made her realize that the Yi family must be a powerful and prestigious family.

Such families often possess enormous wealth and resources, and these riches may very likely become the fuse that triggers internal disputes.

The old lady slammed the table hard and said in a stern tone: "How dare he! The things of the Yi family were originally jointly owned by the two brothers. Does Yi Zhiping really want to take them privately?"

She became angrier and angrier as she spoke, her chest heaving violently, "Jian Han, call your parents right away and ask them what's going on and why they haven't come back yet!"

"Okay, grandma, I'll call my dad right now." Yi Jianhan nodded obediently, took out his cell phone and called his father.

Yi Jianhan had just returned home from school when he saw that his uncle's family had suddenly appeared in the house, and a trace of doubt arose in his heart.

Did Dad really want to monopolize the Yi family's property alone, so he deliberately delayed coming home? If so, it would be too disappointing for him.

After all, grandma was right. The Yi family was the inheritance left to them by grandpa, and they should be shared with uncle.

My uncle just returned home today, and my parents were so bold as to intimidate him, completely disregarding my grandmother's feelings.

Yi Jianhan was well aware of the severity of the Yi family rules. If things were really as he thought, he was afraid that his parents would be severely punished.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Yi Jianhan took out his cell phone and called his father.

But a mechanical female voice came from the other end: "Hello, the user you dialed is turned off. Please call again later."

My goodness, his dad actually turned off his cell phone.

Are you really not afraid that his old lady will get angry?

His grandmother was the one who founded the Yi Group together with his grandfather.

Even though she has abdicated now, her aura is still there!

Old Lady Yi asked, "Did you get through?"

Yi Jianhan pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "Grandma, I didn't get through."

"Call your mother." The old lady was on the verge of getting angry.

The eldest son finally came to his senses and decided not to become a monk and returned home, but her youngest son actually dared to show his power to him. It seemed that she had indulged him too much over the years.

"Yes, grandma."

Yi Jianhan obediently called his mother again.

Unfortunately, the call was also answered by a mechanical female voice: "Sorry, the user you dialed is powered off. Please try again later."

Looking at his grandmother's furious face, Yi Jianhan was about to cry, "Grandma, my mom's phone is turned off too."

Old Mrs. Yi got furious and stood up. "They were fine. We asked them to come back for a meal. But this is how you shirk responsibility. Who are you trying to intimidate?"

At this time, Aunt Zhang said something extra: "Madam, when I called the second young master, he sounded very happy. He said he would be back as soon as he was done with his work. He didn't seem to be unwelcoming to the eldest young master."

The old lady calmed down a little, but still said seriously: "Then why don't you tell me why he didn't come back, and why did he and his wife turn off their phones together."

Yi Jianhan suddenly said, "Will my parents be arrested?"

He reads a lot of detective novels and is very familiar with the plots.

The old lady's heart suddenly hung in the air, and she asked nervously, "Our Yi family has reached this position, so we must have enemies. Could it be that one of our mortal enemies really attacked your parents? Old Wu, go check the whereabouts of the second young master."

She prayed in her heart that her second son just didn't want to go home and that nothing had happened to him.

Old Wu immediately replied, "Yes, ma'am, I'll check it out right away."

This sudden change caught everyone off guard, and everyone fell into deep worry.

Yi Shuihan looked at his grandmother anxiously: "Grandma, how can we help?"

The old lady sighed, a trace of worry in her eyes: "At present, we can only ask the housekeeper to check the whereabouts of your second uncle."

Liao Yunfang frowned, thought for a moment and said, "I'll ask Xu Yahan's father to help check it out."

The old lady asked with some confusion: "Who is Xu Yahan's father?"

Liao Yunfang quickly explained: "Grandma, Xu Yahan's father is Xu Kai, and he is the richest man in the area! He has a wide network of contacts, and if one more person helps, the danger to Second Uncle will be reduced."

"Okay, okay, then you make the call right away." Old Mrs. Yi was also a veteran, so she naturally knew the importance of having a wide network of contacts.

Liao Yunfang nodded and said, "Then I'll call him." Then she dialed Xu Yahan's number.

After the call was connected, Liao Yunfang directly stated her purpose: "Yahan, we can't contact Shuihan's second uncle Yi Zhiping. We suspect that he may have been in trouble. Please ask Uncle Xu to help check his whereabouts."

Unexpectedly, Xu Yahan said, "I'm afraid not. My parents are not at home and I can't contact them now."

Liao Yunfang frowned and said, "What? You can't contact Uncle Xu and the others?"

On the other end of the phone, Xu Yahan was full of anxiety. "Well, I'm also trying to find a way to contact them now."

Liao Yunfang comforted her, "Don't worry, maybe they are out traveling. After all, they don't know we are back this time."

"Well, let me contact other people in my dad's company first!"

Xu Yahan has phone numbers of several elders on her mobile phone.

"it is good."

Liao Yunfang hung up the phone with a heavy heart.

Everyone present heard the conversation between Liao Yunfang and Xu Yahan.

Under everyone's gaze, Liao Yunfang called Liu Rumei again, "Rumei, are you home yet?"

"Just arrived. What's wrong? You miss me right after we separated?" Liu Rumei was entering the password at the door of her house.

"Shui Han's uncle and aunt are missing, and Ya Han's parents can't be contacted, so I'm asking you."

"what……"

Liu Rumei's scream was heard from the other end of the phone.

Accompanied by the sound of a cell phone falling.

Liao Yunfang anxiously called out, "Rumei, Rumei."

But no one answered her on the other end of the phone.
