She won't clear her name; she'll throw away all the scum.

"Do you think Hu Jie's parents have seen Yingying?" Grandma Yin grabbed Grandma Xia's hand, as if she had found a pillar of support. "I'll go ask them."

The incident has been going on for some time now, and no one from the Hu family has shown up. The lights inside the house are on, which means there are people inside, but they don't want to get involved.

I knew they were heartless, but I never expected that they wouldn't be worried at all about their missing granddaughter. It's truly chilling and frightening.

Grandma Yin knocked on the door for a long time before they finally opened it, and their first words were an impatient question: "What do you want?"

"I wanted to ask if you've seen Yingying?" Grandma Yin asked.

Mrs. Hu panicked for a moment, and said with a fierce but weak voice, "I haven't seen her. Didn't you forbid us from having any contact with her? How dare we take care of her? You, who are paid to take care of people, are closer to her than I, her own grandmother. If you don't even know where she is, I know even less."

Grandma Yin: "But didn't you give her candy before? Didn't you see it today?"

Feeling guilty, Hu's mother raised her voice even louder, "What exactly is going on with you? You're the one who took care of the child, and now you're questioning us? You took the money but didn't do your job, and now you want to pin the blame on us?"

"Don't bother us, we're not close to her." After she finished speaking, she closed the door. No matter how much Grandma Yin knocked on the door and begged them, they wouldn't open it.

Grandma Yin also felt that what she said was right. She was the one who took care of the child, and now that the child had disappeared, she was almost overwhelmed with guilt.

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. She wondered if something had happened to Hu Yingying. In her extreme tension, Grandma Yin even lost her balance and fainted.

Grandma Xia panicked and, supporting the person, shouted for help to take them to the hospital.

When Chen Xiangbei arrived at the compound, Grandma Xia was not there.

I heard from others that Grandma Yin fainted from the shock and was rushed to the hospital, where her mother was with her.

Remembering his second brother's words, Chen Xiangbei felt it was time to let his mother discover that he was actually a filial son, so he rushed to the hospital.

It was at the hospital that he learned that a child from their compound had gone missing.

"Where have you been these past few days? I've been looking for you to do something, but you're nowhere to be found. Your dad works during the day and has been looking for people out there. You're the only one who doesn't do anything worthwhile."

Chen Xiangbei was scolded harshly and felt a little wronged. He used to often not come home for several days at a time, and his mother would give him money back then.

He hasn't received the money yet; he just went out to have some fun and still got scolded.

What young man doesn't go out and have fun? He doesn't have a job, and he can't learn anything at school because it's so chaotic. He might as well go out and have fun.

"Since you have nothing to do right now, go check out your brother Hu Jie's factory. See if Yingying is there. If not, ask his colleagues if they can get in touch with her."

Chen Xiangbei scratched his head. "Okay, I'll go right away."

He had just turned around when he suddenly remembered something. "Mom, I saw Hu Jie's older brother sneaking around in Guishu Lane."

Grandma Xia suddenly grabbed him, "We didn't see his older brother when we went to the Hu family before."

Aunt Wang chimed in, "I heard from other people that they haven't seen him all afternoon. That's strange. His family doesn't know anyone in the city. They usually just stay in the courtyard and house, and they only go out to buy food. They basically never leave the courtyard."

Grandma Xia: "They probably didn't go to buy food. They always like to buy several days' worth of food and keep it. They just bought some yesterday. I just saw it in the house."

Aunt Wang: "Could it be that Hu Wei took the child away?"

Grandma Xia: "You stay here and watch over Donghua, I'm going back to check on her."

Chen Xiangbei was being pulled along by his mother's arm as they walked, and she said, "If a fight breaks out later, you'd better be quick-witted."

Chen Xiangbei asked in surprise, "Again?"

"They're not reasonable people, so they definitely wouldn't have told the truth at the beginning."

Chen Xiangbei: "Mom, actually you're not very reasonable either."

Grandma Xia lightly patted the back of his head, "Hurry up!"

At the Hu family home, Mr. and Mrs. Hu were also waiting for Hu Wei to return, while Jinju was inside coaxing Hu Bin to sleep.

They were both excited and thrilled, unsure how much money they would get. They figured the little girl wouldn't fetch a high price, but even if it was little, it didn't matter, because at least everything belonging to the second son's family would belong to the eldest grandson in the future.

From now on, we won't have to cater to that brat anymore, and we won't have to take advantage of the Hu family anymore.

Hu's mother paced back and forth in the house, but instead of seeing Hu Wei, she encountered the aggressive Old Lady Xia.

"Old hag, where did your eldest son go? Don't tell me he went to find some worthless friends. How could a scoundrel like him find friends in the city?"

Hu's mother was suddenly cornered in the house and yelled at. She was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but rush out, shouting, "Who are you yelling at? Is this how you city people bully people?"

"We're just staying at home, doing nothing wrong, and we haven't bothered you at all. Why are you insulting us for no reason?"

Grandma Xia: "If I've misunderstood you today, I can bow and apologize to you later, but first tell me where your son is, and whether he took Yingying away?"

Mrs. Hu panicked immediately. "Don't make false accusations! What evidence do you have against my son? Can't my son go out for a walk? What right do you have to question me?"

Grandma Xia: "Then tell me, where did he go? I'll ride my bicycle to find him right now."

Mother Hu: ...He went to sell the children, but I can't tell you that.

Seeing that Hu's mother was about to give herself away, Hu's father also stepped forward. "Sister, even if you're anxious, you can't throw mud at us. My son is an adult; he can't tell us everything, so we don't know where he went."

“My granddaughter is missing, and we are very worried. We were just talking about going out to look for her together, but my eldest grandson started crying, so we had to calm her down first.”

“She is also our own grandchild, how could we not want her to be well? Besides, she is also the only child of my second son, even if we don’t like her, we would never harm her.”

Hu's father's words were reasonable, well-founded, and humane, which dispelled Chen Xiangbei's doubts.

"Mom, it shouldn't be them, right? I think what he said makes sense."

Grandma Xia glared at her and said, "You're not a child anymore, stop believing everything people say."

Chen Xiangbei retorted, "Instead of asking them here, why don't we go to Guishu Lane and look for someone? That's where I saw people."

Hearing this, Mr. Hu was also alarmed, realizing that this silly boy had actually witnessed it.

Mother Hu panicked and shouted, "You're not allowed to go!"

Everyone immediately turned their suspicious gazes toward them, and some even came over to try and drag them to the police station for a talk.
