Chapter 186
"Let me go! What right do you have to arrest me?" Hu's mother shouted and struggled, but the two young men couldn't get close and their faces were scratched.
The police arrived at this time, intending to investigate. They had received several cases of missing children recently, and this time another one had occurred in this bustling compound. They felt that this time they would make a different discovery.
Sure enough, as soon as they arrived, a group of people pulled a female comrade along, seemingly having discovered something.
Before they could ask any questions, the woman who had been restrained broke free of their grasp, ran over, and knelt down, pleading, "Officer, you must do justice for me!"
The two police officers immediately helped the man up. They couldn't kneel down like that at this time; if someone reported them, they might be suspended from their duties.
"Auntie, what's wrong? Please don't kneel down, we can't accept that."
Pointing towards Old Lady Xia, Hu's mother accused her first, "These people are trying to force good women into prostitution!"
The police officer was speechless. Forcing someone into prostitution? Forcing her? From any perspective, that seems highly unlikely.
Grandma Xia could tolerate these words, but Aunt Wang couldn't hold back.
"Big sister, if you don't know how to use idioms, don't use them randomly. What do you mean by 'forced you' and 'why'? First of all, everyone in our compound is a respectable person. We would never make you do this. Even if we forced you, we would never force you."
Hu's mother: "If you didn't force me, why did you come to arrest me? You're not the police, what right do you have to arrest me?"
Grandma Xia chimed in, "Actually, what you're trying to say is, 'forced confession'?"
Mother Hu: "You all just look down on people, isn't that the same thing?"
Police: "What exactly happened? Didn't someone report a missing child? Can someone tell me about this? When was the child found? How old is the child? Did anyone see the child?"
Upon hearing this, Hu's mother pushed away the police officer, ran back into the house, and dragged Hu's father inside as well, slamming the door shut.
Anyone who looks at her would think there's something wrong with her.
Everyone chimed in, sharing their knowledge and the basis for their suspicions with the two police officers. After nodding, the officers knocked on the Hu family's door, hoping they would come with them to the police station for questioning.
Mr. and Mrs. Hu were extremely flustered, but they couldn't overcome their fear of the police and followed along, trembling.
Even Jinju and her chubby son Hu Bin were called over, and Hu Bin was so frightened that he burst into tears.
On the other side, Hu Jie had just delivered the goods to the designated factory when he received the news that Hu Yingying had gone missing. He was extremely anxious and hurriedly unloaded the goods and rushed home with another colleague.
They were supposed to arrive in five or six days, but they were brought back on the third day.
At this point, Hu's mother was pushed out as a scapegoat by Hu's father, and both he and Jinju claimed to be unaware of the matter.
So many days have passed, and the child is still not found, nor is Hu Wei.
"Dad, Hu Wei should have come back after selling that brat. How come we can't find him after all these days? I even secretly went to the place he mentioned in the middle of the night, but there was no one in that yard. Where did he go?"
Mr. Hu was also very upset. He had regretted it countless times in the past few days. He should have known better than to do such a thing for that money. Now, his wife was in jail and his eldest son had disappeared. That damned girl was really bringing them bad luck. They lost two people because of such a small matter.
"Keep your voice down. Everyone in this compound is shrewd. If they hear us, we'll all be coming in. Do you want my grandson to become an orphan?"
Jinju shut her mouth and cautiously looked outside. Fortunately, it was the middle of the night and no one was watching her.
“I’m going to check on my son; he’s been terrified these past few days.”
Jinju got up to go back to her room, but the door was kicked open, and Hu Jie appeared outside, looking travel-worn.
"Second son, you're back?" Father Hu was startled.
Hu Jie rushed in and pinned his father against the wall, demanding, "Where's Yingying?"
Father Hu: "I...how would I know? I...we've all been looking for her. Your older brother is missing too. We're all so worried. It's all your mother's fault. That vicious woman actually came up with this idea. She deserves to die a hundred times over. Your older brother must have been implicated by her. I had no idea."
Jinju trembled with fear. She felt that Hu Jie looked even more ruthless than a murderer, and might kill them all at any moment.
"My mom? My mom listens to you in everything. If you don't make the decision, she won't even have this idea. Isn't she just someone you pushed into this situation?"
"Didn't I already take you to the train station? Why did you come back?"
Mr. Hu was being pressed down on the neck by his second son and was struggling to breathe. He felt like he was about to suffocate and couldn't even utter a complete sentence.
Seeing this, Jinju had no choice but to stammer out the story they had agreed on beforehand, "Second brother, we were wrong. We just wanted to help take care of Yingying, but that old woman wouldn't let us get close. As a result, Yingying disappeared."
“My father-in-law and I didn’t want this to happen either. We really didn’t know anything about it. This was your older brother and mother-in-law’s idea. Your father-in-law even hit my mother-in-law at the police station. She knows she was wrong. Your older brother’s life is currently unknown. If he comes back, he will definitely know that he did something wrong.”
“We’ve all checked that courtyard, but there’s no one there. According to the youngest son of the Chen family next door, they’ve been gone for several days. And there was a bald man following your older brother that day. I was worried something might have happened to him.”
Hu Jie slapped his sister-in-law to the ground. "You're all birds of a feather. It would be strange if you didn't know about this. My brother has done too many bad things; he's probably been killed long ago."
Jinju covered her face, "How could you be so vicious? Even at a time like this, you're still cursing your older brother. You're not even human. I don't understand all this nonsense, but after all these years of schooling, is this what you've become? You dare to hit me, you dare to treat your own father like this, you're not human."
Hu Bin was also woken up. When he opened the door, he found that his fierce-looking uncle had knocked his grandfather unconscious and was now beating his mother.
"You're a bad person, you're a bad person, don't hit my mom!" Hu Bin rushed over and bit Hu Jie's arm, but Hu Jie pushed him away and threw him out, where he crashed heavily onto a stool, knocking the stool over.
He immediately burst into tears.
Hu Jie hit Jin Ju several more times, then got up and grabbed Hu Bin by the neck, saying, "If I can't find Yingying, you won't live either. We'll all die together."
"Let go of my son, you madman!"
