The obedient girl glances up, and the tyrannical tycoon kneels down to pamper her.

The old man and woman were so angry about their daughter-in-law and granddaughter being trapped that their blood pressure spiked. They only calmed down after taking medication.

Mr. Xing never expected that the son he raised would go astray, and he never expected that his son would trick the mother and daughter into taking them hostage and then negotiate with them.

The already elderly Mr. Xing looked even older now, with barely concealed anger and sorrow in his eyes.

However, the rest of the Xing family didn't know about this. If they had, it wouldn't have been as simple as just gossiping behind his back about him raising a criminal.

Right now, all we can do is wait for our own son to come over so we can discuss it together.

When he actually saw Xing Yanzhao and Luo Huai, his old face was filled with shame, but he still said, "Yanzhao, no matter what, you must ensure the safety of your mother and your sister first. Even if you don't care about me and your mother, please consider that your sister Yu Rou calls you 'big brother'."

He knew that he and his wife had let their son down, and naturally he never thought that he would care about them, but Yu Rou was different.

Yu Rou had long accepted this older brother and sister-in-law, and often went to Binjiang Bay. When she came back, she would boast that her older brother and sister-in-law had a room in their house.

How can a room compare to a house? But it also clearly shows that Yanzhao and Luo Huai accept Yu Rou as their younger sister from the bottom of their hearts and are good to her from the bottom of their hearts.

Lin Zhengyu probably knew this too, which is why he fooled both the mother and daughter.

"Yanzhao, we have wronged you for everything that happened before. Don't abandon your mother." Although Mr. Xing and his wife had argued a lot about Tang Zhu and their relationship had become quite cold, they were still a couple who had been together for decades and had a son and a daughter. They still had feelings for each other.

Xing Yanzhao had never had any expectations of his parents, so he was not moved by the apology and just glanced at his father indifferently.

Luo Huai felt a sense of comfort.

Zhao Ge may not need this apology, but she still wants him to say it.

"Grandpa and Grandma are waiting for us." Luo Huai tugged at Xing Yanzhao's hand, meaning to hurry inside and not keep the two elderly people waiting too long.

As the evening breeze blew, Luo Huai's loose dress clung to her stomach. When Xing's father saw that her belly was slightly protruding, he was taken aback.

It turns out the child is alright.

Thankfully, the child is alright.

But he only found out now.

It was clear that Yanzhao had deliberately kept it a secret. When they went inside, they saw the two elders pull Luo Huai aside and ask if the matter had harmed the fetus.

He and his wife probably don't know.

Father Xing couldn't help but feel desolate, wondering how he had ended up like this in his old age.

Despite his anxiety, Yu Bosen still politely greeted Xing's father and grandparents, as they were the little princess's father and grandparents, her elders!

The two elders were momentarily surprised to see the young man from the Yu family, but quickly got down to business.

"Zhengyu's idea is to find a way to get him out of the country so that Qiu Ya and Yu Rou can return safely," the old man said. "Now the Pei family has reported it to the police."

"The money in Pei's account is gone, and the people involved in the finance department have been arrested and have identified Lin Zhengyu." Pei Yuanzhou calling the police was indeed something he hadn't anticipated. It's not that he forgot to inform Pei Yuanzhou beforehand; he hadn't even thought about it. Whether it was Lin Zhengyu or Lin Zhengyu colluding with Pei Youyou to empty Pei's coffers, it had nothing to do with him.

As a result, even their own people got caught up in the mess.

It's not accurate to say they were "trapped" in the trap; some people walked right into it.

"We can only agree to one of Lin Zhengyu's conditions, and that is if he lets Yu Rou go." After Xing Yanzhao finished speaking, everyone looked at him.

Yu Bosen nodded in agreement. As long as the little princess was released, she didn't care about anyone else.

Unable to contain himself, Xing's father questioned Xing Yanzhao: "Where is your mother? Does she just abandon her? Your mother has wronged you, but you can't, you can't really just abandon her!"

"Dad." It was Luo Huai who spoke. "Yu Rou only went over after receiving a call from Mom this afternoon."

Mr. Xing frowned: "What do you mean?"

"That means Qiu Ya helped Lin Zhengyu deceive your daughter!" The old lady was furious and almost couldn't catch her breath.

“Qiu Ya…” Xing’s father paused for a moment, “She couldn’t possibly have hurt Yu Rou. She probably didn’t know that she had fallen into Lin Zhengyu’s trap.”

“That Yu Rou did indeed use her position in Lin Zhengyu’s hands to threaten us.” The old lady was still angry. “We do whatever Yan Zhao says.”

Ever since Luo Huai learned that Xing Yuru had fallen into Lin Zhengyu's hands, his heart had been in his throat. "Brother Zhao, can you get in touch with Lin Zhengyu so I can talk to Yuru?"

Xing Yanzhao: "Lin Zhengyu will not allow you to speak alone."

Luo Huai hesitated for a moment, but still nodded.

We got in touch quickly, but time was limited.

Xing Yuru called out "Sister-in-law" with a nasal tone of grievance, but she didn't cry. Luo Huai simply asked Lin Zhengyu if he had done anything to them, and was only slightly relieved to hear that everything was fine.

Finally, he asked, "Is Pei Youyou here too? The Pei family is almost at the point of collapse trying to protect her, and all their working capital has been taken by Lin..."

Even though she spoke very quickly, the other party hung up the phone immediately.

Then they received a threat from Lin Zhengyu: if they dared to make any rash moves, then everyone would be buried with them!

Luo Huai's heart was pounding.

"It's alright, Lin Zhengyu wouldn't want to die." Xing Yanzhao comforted her back. "I hope Yu Rou understands what you mean. With Pei Youyou's help, Yu Rou won't be completely alone."

Luo Huai nodded worriedly, "Did you just hear that? Listened carefully? It sounded like waves, very faint, the soundproofing there is very good. Did Xiao Chen and the others find the place where Mom was last seen?"

Just then, a phone call came in saying they had found it, and the car was heading towards the seaside.

“By the seaside, we can check the properties under Qiu Yazhengyu and Yu Rou’s names,” Xing’s father said. “It’s not impossible that he owns his own properties.”

Xing Yanzhao quickly ordered people to investigate one by one.

Meanwhile, Pei Yuanzhou and Officer Qu were also searching for people everywhere, including investigating real estate, and they received information that the Xing family was also being investigated.

Lin Zhengyu is wanted by the police, but he hasn't come to negotiate with him yet. A man like him wouldn't just sit and wait to die, so... he's negotiating with the Xing family.

Who in the Xing family is under Lin Zhengyu's control?

Luo Huai?

Pei Yuanzhou's brow twitched, and he began to consider joining forces with the Xing family.

……

Beach house.

Lin Zhengyu locked Xing Yuru in a separate room to prevent her from contacting Pei Youyou. Pei Youyou is still unaware of the situation, hating him for his infidelity while also having to rely on him because the Pei family abandoned her.

If Xing Yuru says something, Pei Youyou will be in big trouble if she goes crazy.

Xing Yuru, who was locked up, had never thought of this step. Instead, she wiped away tears again and again, feeling that she had caused trouble for her older brother and the others.

As she cried, her sobs grew louder and louder.

Upon hearing this, Xing's mother went to comfort her daughter, innocently asking if she had quarreled with her brother, and coaxed her like she did when they were little, promising to scold her brother later.

Xing Yuru pushed the person away, ignoring Lin Zhengyu's warning and no longer intending to consider her mother's feelings, and immediately scolded her.

"Do you know you're aiding and abetting evil?! You're helping your second brother threaten your grandparents, your eldest brother, and your father!"

Xing's mother's pupils dilated, and she forced a smile, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"How long are you going to keep lying to yourself? Mom, so what if you raised a heartless, wicked son?"

"Shut up!" Xing's mother looked dignified and gentle, but she had been strong-willed all her life and couldn't stand being denied by others.
