Chapter 103: Chapter 103: Stern Interrogation

Hearing Mo Xiaohong’s words, Ding Yuejun and Yiyi were stunned. In the end, it was Yiyi who reacted quickly. She looked coldly at Jiang Haiyang and Le Ying and said, "So you used the strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain, stalling us here while letting Jiang Huirong go and snatch Shanshan. You really have it all planned out."

Feeling Yiyi’s icy gaze, Jiang Haiyang and Le Ying shivered involuntarily. The look in this young girl’s eyes was terrifying, but this had nothing to do with them.

"Don’t say such things. We had no idea Hai Rong would take Shanshan away."

Jiang Haiyang still felt the need to explain.

And after coming to her senses, Le Ying felt somewhat indignant and furious. How could she feel intimidated by a young girl earlier, "Even if Hai Rong took Shanshan away, so what? Shanshan is his biological daughter. What’s wrong with them wanting to spend more time together as father and daughter."

Hearing his wife’s words, Jiang Haiyang gradually came around.

Indeed, Shanshan is a child of the Jiang family. Even if Hai Rong took her, what’s the problem? Why did he feel guilty just now? "Exactly, Shanshan is a child of our family. It’s only right to take her home for a few days to take care of."

Yiyi couldn’t be bothered to listen to more of this nonsense. She stepped forward and restrained the two of them. "You better pray that Shanshan is okay. Otherwise, I won’t let you off."

Some concerned neighbors, seeing the farce in front of them, quickly stepped forward to help.

"Yue Jun, you should quickly go find Shanshan. We’ll keep watch on these two and won’t let them escape."

Hearing this, Ding Yuejun quickly looked over gratefully.

"Thank you, Aunt Tang."

"Oh, there’s no need to thank us. Between neighbors, we ought to help each other." Today Old Mrs. Jiang wasn’t around, so she took the initiative to stand up for Ding Yuejun and her daughter. Having spent a long time with them, the neighbors had seen Ding Yuejun and her daughter’s character, which is why they were willing to help.

At this time, several other people around also kindly spoke, "Yes, we’ll keep an eye on these two. You hurry and find the child."

Seeing the eager neighbors, Yiyi felt somewhat moved. "Thank you, everyone."

Then she took her mother to find Shanshan.

"Sister, why didn’t you just go straight to the village? Since Jiang Huirong took Shanshan away, maybe he went back to the Jiang family."

Hearing Yiyi’s words, Mo Xiaohong immediately shook her head and said, "I chased him for a while and realized that Jiang Huirong wasn’t taking a route back home, so I don’t know where he took Shanshan."

Upon hearing this, Yiyi frowned tightly.

This complicated things, but they still needed to check at the Jiang family. Since Jiang Huirong did something like this today, maybe others in the Jiang family knew about it.

"Sister, I’ll go to the Jiang family first. You continue searching around here."

"Yiyi, I’ll go with you."

At this point, Ding Yuejun said from the side, "Xiao Hong, you had better stay with us and help search. You’re the only one who knows which direction Jiang Huirong left from last."

Hearing this, Mo Xiaohong didn’t insist any further, "Alright, let’s continue looking around here."

Fei Erya was also worried. After some thought, she joined Mo Xiaohong and the others in their search. More people means more power; they would definitely find Shanshan.

When Yiyi quickly reached the Jiang family, she saw Old Mrs. Jiang resting leisurely in the yard, the rocking chair swaying contentedly, "Old Mrs. Jiang is really enjoying herself."

Hearing this, Old Mrs. Jiang was startled. Seeing it was Yiyi, she immediately started cursing, "You little hussy, standing at the door scaring me. Let’s see how I’ll deal with you."

Since she was at her own home, Old Mrs. Jiang felt emboldened. Remembering how she was previously bullied in town, her resentment toward Yiyi grew, and she grabbed a broom from the corner to charge at Yiyi.

Yiyi certainly wouldn’t be afraid of Old Mrs. Jiang. She snatched the broom and tossed it to the ground, grabbing hold of the old lady with an raised hand, "Tell me, where did Jiang Huirong take Shanshan?" She had already observed the place earlier. Only Old Mrs. Jiang was at home; Jiang Huirong and Shanshan were nowhere to be seen. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Hearing Yiyi’s demand, Old Mrs. Jiang let out a smug laugh.

"So, you’re here for Shanshan. But since Hai Rong took her, how would I know where they are?"

Yiyi didn’t miss the pride in Old Mrs. Jiang’s eyes. She tightened her grip, her voice cold as she asked, "I’ll ask again, where is Shanshan?"

"Ah..."

Feeling intense pain in her wrist, Old Mrs. Jiang screamed like a pig being slaughtered. However, despite this, she still cursed and swore, "You little hussy, how dare you hit me! I’ll make you pay for this."

"Looks like I’ve been too gentle."

Seeing Old Mrs. Jiang still full of spirit in her cursing, Yiyi’s gaze became even colder, and she exerted more force with her hand.

"Ah..."

This time, Old Mrs. Jiang’s voice was noticeably softer than before because she was in severe pain. She never expected that Mo Yiyi would really dare to be this ruthless.

"Old lady, I hope you’ll answer properly this time. Otherwise, the next bout of pain might be unbearable."

Yiyi used force with precision, ensuring it would make Old Mrs. Jiang suffer but not leave any lasting injuries. This way, she didn’t have any qualms about taking action, drawing on experience accumulated back in Medicine Valley.

"You... you heartless... little slut."

Old Mrs. Jiang felt excruciating pain all over her body, leaving her barely able to speak.

"So, the old lady can still talk? I suppose I wasn’t forceful enough." Yiyi said as she made a motion to strike.

"No..."

Only through such an experience could Old Mrs. Jiang realize the depth of this pain; she really couldn’t take it anymore.

"Quickly tell me, before I change my mind."

Noting the icy tone in Yiyi’s voice, Old Mrs. Jiang felt the chill of Mo Yiyi’s ruthlessness for the first time. "I... I’ll tell you. Yesterday, Hai Rong mentioned that he would go to town to find Shanshan today. If... if he had the chance, he would take her to a hidden place to force Mo Xiaohong to submit."

"Where?"

Upon hearing this crucial detail, Yiyi unknowingly applied more pressure with her hand.

"I... I don’t know, just somewhere in the west of town. Hai Rong didn’t give specifics."

Yiyi stared intently at Old Mrs. Jiang, demanding, "Do you really not know?"

"I really don’t know."

Old Mrs. Jiang shook her head like a rattle drum, her face full of fear. She realized she had underestimated Mo family’s youngest daughter. Previously she had never dealt with her, but now she saw her true nature—she was ruthless and unyielding. She resolved to never cross her in the future.
