Good news! My sister Lin finally stopped being abstract today!

Where are we going now?

"Go back first."

As soon as she gets home, the cold-faced Lin Zhihao transforms into a well-behaved child who needs her mother's help.

"Mommy, waaaah, Mommy, Mommy."

As soon as they met, Shen Yuyu was embraced by Lin Zhihao.

"It's alright, it's alright, I've already sent people to look for them, nothing will happen."

“That’s right, and besides, your uncle is here. What are you afraid of? I’ll definitely find him for you in three hours.” Shen Li said smugly from the side.

"Really?"

"Of course."

"You're so capable? How come I didn't know?"

"Anyway, don't worry about it. I'll find her for you. As long as she's still in City A, I'll give you a satisfactory answer within three hours. Just wait."

With that, Shen Li drove out of the house, his face showing a determined expression.

"Mom, what about Uncle?"

"Well, trust him."

When Shen Li was young, he became obsessed with being a prostitute and got to know a bunch of random people. Although they weren't very capable, they had plenty of them, and he had informants everywhere.

If Fang Xiao hadn't intervened, Shen Li would have almost become a leader.

There was no use in being anxious, so Lin Zhihao could only trust the Shen family's influence and wait patiently for news at home.

Shen Yuyu stayed with Lin Zhihao the whole time, afraid that she would be too sad and upset because she couldn't find He Manman.

"Mom, what if Uncle can't find the person in three hours?"

“Then the Shen family must take action. They must release the person. Even if they didn’t arrest him, they must find him and send him back to the Shen family.”

"oh oh."

"Hmph, Manman is now my second daughter. This has already been announced. Anyone who dares to arrest Manman is going against me, Shen Yuyu."

Lin Zhihao looked at He's mother. "Is this her backer? How wonderful."

Before Lin Zhihao returned home, Shen Li had already released He Manman's photo, instructing his buddies to keep an eye out and call him immediately if they spotted the girl in the photo.

When Shen Li rushed to the base camp, many people were already waiting in the warehouse with their tools.

"Brother Shen, many of the brothers have already gone out to look for her. Don't worry, as long as this girl is still in City A, there's no way we won't find her."

"Yes, thank you for your hard work. I'll treat everyone to a meal once I find it."

"Oh, stop talking about that. Brother Shen's niece is our niece too. When you're looking for your own niece, there's no need to invite her to dinner."

"That's it."

"This is essentially a matter for the brothers, so don't be shy."

If Shen Li hadn't built this garage for them and brought people here to do business from time to time, how could they have had a place to stand in City A, where land is so valuable?

"This is troublesome, Kuroko. If anyone sees this, please tell me immediately."

"it is good!"

Outside, people were frantically searching for someone. He Manman, who had just woken up after being drugged, looked around at the unfamiliar environment that had changed, with Xu Cen still unconscious beside her.

She remembered that she was trying to send a message to Sister Lin when someone suddenly rushed in, gagged her, and took her away. Before leaving, the person also snatched the earring that Sister Lin had given her.

There was only one iron-barred window near the ceiling in the room, through which sunlight shone in.

He Manman pushed the rotten wooden cabinet in the room to the window and piled some other odds and ends on top of it.

After a flurry of activity, Xu Cen, who was lying on the ground, was slowly awakened by the noise.

"Where is this? What are you doing?"

"We need to find a way to escape, otherwise we'll just be waiting here to be sold off," He Manman replied.

After being locked up for a day, their location was suddenly changed. It must have been Sister Lin who came looking for them, which is why Bao Wuyu acted so quickly to drug them and take them away.

"Escape?"

"No, you can't leave!" Xu Cen suddenly jumped up from the ground and threw down the pile of junk that He Manman had just piled up. "You can't leave!"

"what are you doing!"

Seeing her hard-earned 'ladder' knocked down, He Manman couldn't help but shout angrily.

“What will I do if you leave? What will happen to our family? You’ve climbed up to a higher social class, but we haven’t. If Madam Bao makes a move on us, or even your brother and his gang, we’ll be powerless to fight back and just sit here waiting to die. That’s why you can’t leave.”

Xu Cen kept moving the items off the wooden cabinet.

He Manman tried to stop it, but to no avail.

"You're trying to sell me out again!"

"So what? I'm your mother! You should sacrifice for our family!"

"mom!"

He Manman's tears flowed again, it was hard to tell whether they were the He Manman who originally loved Xu Cen very much, or the He Manman from another world who shed tears of sympathy.

"Stop! Don't move!"

He Manman rushed forward and grabbed Xu Cen's hand because Xu Cen was not only moving things, but also smashing the wooden cabinet with a hard object. One side of the cabinet had already been smashed.

"Get out of my way! I'll teach you to run. I'll teach you to be selfish, I'll teach you to climb the social ladder without caring about your family's life or death, I'll teach you to be selfish!"

Xu Cen pushed He Manman to the ground, and because she couldn't dodge in time, He Manman's hand was scraped.

Xu Cen only stopped when the wooden cabinet was completely smashed.

He Manman sat motionless on the ground (ˉ―ˉ?), while Xu Cen, after smashing the object, stared at He Manman with a smug look on his face.

"Am I really your biological daughter?"

“It’s none of your business. Anyway, I’m your mother, so you have to listen to me. I gave birth to you so that you could have the opportunity to enjoy life and get involved with the Shen family. You should thank me, please me, and listen to me because I’m your mother.”

"hehe."

Knowing she couldn't communicate with Xu Cen, He Manman simply stopped talking to her, wiped away her tears, and continued looking for a way out.

Just then, the door opened.

"Yo, wake up."

Bao Wuyu pinched the tip of her nose and stared at He Manman and the other person with a look of disgust.

"Hehe, Madam, that little brat tried to run away just now, but I stopped her. I did this for you, so you shouldn't be angry anymore, right? Hehehe."

Upon seeing Bao Wuyu, Xu Cen couldn't wait to rush over and pledge his allegiance, a fawning smile appearing on his face as he rubbed his hands together and grinned ingratiatingly at Bao Wuyu.

Bao Wuyu took a few steps back. "Alright, don't come any closer."

"Oh, okay, hehehe, you're so thoughtful, madam. You're worried that I'll get tired from walking too much. Hahaha, actually you don't need to be so nice to me. I'm willing to do things for you myself, hehe."

Bao Wuyu:······

Butler: Uh

He Manman: (°ー°〃)

"I never imagined that the Shen family cared so much about you that they could actually find their way into the basement."

Sister Lin?

"Hmph, good that you know. If you're smart, let me out. Otherwise, once the Shen family makes their move, you won't have a chance to back out."

“The Shen family is indeed powerful, and the He family can’t compete with them for the time being, so you can no longer stay in City A.”

"What do you want to do? You... Ah!"

Before He Manman could finish speaking, Xu Cen slapped her on the back, saying, "How dare you talk like that!"

"What are you doing!" He Manman shoved Xu Cen away.

"Madam is doing this for your own good, and you still dare to speak to her so loudly? She's an elder! You have no respect for elders. Didn't your mother... your godmother teach you that?"

"are you crazy!"

Xu Cen used all his strength, and He Manman's back was burning with pain.

"Stop arguing, take him away."

"Hmph." Xu Cen rolled her eyes at He Manman.

He chuckled and leaned closer to Bao Wuyu, "Hehe, Madam, where are we going this time?"

"I'm sending you out to sea. Remember, you're taking your daughter on a sea trip, and you accidentally got separated from her. It has nothing to do with the rest of the He family."

"Oh oh oh, okay okay."

Xu Cen didn't think there was anything wrong with Bao Wuyu reselling He Manman. To her, as long as her own family was doing well, it was no big deal if He Manman sacrificed some things.
