Xu Huan glanced at her: “You suspect it’s Cai Ping? That’s impossible. Even a ferocious tiger wouldn’t eat its own child, and besides, her ankle was sprained at that time; she couldn’t go downstairs.”
Xu Huan recalled: “After the child went missing, she became even angrier, and even went as far as to hit Han Suwen, blaming her for losing the Qin family’s bloodline and for letting down their ancestors. At that time, Brother Tian and I thought that even though she didn’t like her own granddaughter, she was still her flesh and blood. We never thought she would do something like that.”
Ming Jing stood up, “Thank you, guys, I’ll come back to you if needed.”
Xu Huan scratched his head embarrassedly: “I’m happy to help, you don’t know what kind of life Han Dasao has had these past five years. Her mother-in-law, Cai Ping, pressured her every day to have a son, but she refused. Then her mother-in-law encouraged Qin Xu to divorce her. Qin Xu had a conscience and didn’t agree, but I heard that Qin Xu is having an affair with a colleague. In short, Han Dasao is really miserable!”
The Qin family is quite famous around here, no need to ask around.
Ming Jing paused with her steps, “Would you accompany me to the Qin’s?”
The Qins still lived in the same old neighborhood as before. At the entrance of the alley, a group of elderly people were sitting around, chatting while fanning themselves. They greeted Xu Huan enthusiastically: “Xiao Xu is patrolling this area again, our safety all depends on Xiao Xu.”
“Is this young lady your girlfriend, Xiao Xu? She looks quite impressive.”
Xu Huan blushed and quickly explained: “Grandpas and grandmas, no, she’s my friend—a friend. We’re visiting the Qin family for some business.”
He stole a glance at Ming Jing and saw that her expression remained the same, feeling both relieved and a bit disappointed at the same time.
“The Qin’s? You’re not coming at a good time. Their place is bustling with excitement right now. Qin Xu’s lover from work has stormed in, and we were just chased out while watching the drama.”
“Poor Suwen, ever since the child went missing, she’s been tormented by her nasty mother-in-law. It’s Cai Ping who pushed Qin Xu towards that mistress.”
Ming Jing filtered this information and looked up. Ten meters ahead and down the alley was the entrance to the neighborhood.
Xu Huan and Ming Jing walked in. Going in and out required a card swipe. The doorman saw Xu Huan and opened the door without a second word.
“Officer Xiao Xu, here to solve a case?”
His gaze couldn’t help but fall on the girl beside him. She was so beautiful, even more so than the stars on TV.
As Xu Huan walked beside Ming Jing, he used his body to shield her from the gazes and said: “Uncle, I’ll be out once I finish my business.”
Xu Huan pointed to a small garden on the right side of the entrance. In the middle of the garden was a pavilion. “That’s where the child went missing.”
The Qin family lived in the building just behind the garden. The staircase inside the building was old, with peeling and discolored walls.
As Ming Jing climbed the stairs, she asked, “Were there surveillance cameras in the hallway back then?”
“For this kind of old house without even an elevator? No way.”
They lived in the one on the right.
The sound of arguing came faintly through the iron door, with the voice of a middle-aged woman being the loudest. It was as if she were using a loudspeaker.
“You’re just taking up space, not willing to leave but still dragging my son down. You’re so selfish! Today, you must sign this divorce agreement. Pack up your things and get the hell out. It’s been five years, and you’ve been weeping every day. I don’t owe you, and neither does the Qin family.”
“Mom, what are you doing? I won’t agree to a divorce.” This was Qin Xu’s voice, firm.
“Silly boy, wake up. This woman has been mentally unstable for a long time. How much longer are you planning to stick with her? Today’s drama has already embarrassed my family’s name. Do you want a second time?”
“Look at Rongrong. She’s virtuous, understanding, and young. What’s not to like about her? She’ll definitely give you a chunky baby boy.”
“Big Brother Qin, I won’t force you. Whenever you divorce is fine. I’ll be waiting for you.” The girl’s coquettish voice.
“Enough!” Han Suwen shouted. She looked at Qin Xu, “Today, you need to make a choice between me and your mother. Choose your mother, I’ll divorce immediately. Choose me, and send your mother and this woman back to the countryside. I never want to see them again.”
Cai Ping cursed: “You poisonous witch, why can’t I stay in my own house? You’re the one who should leave.”
Qin Xu said in pain: “Suwen, don’t push me.”
Han Suwen laughed sarcastically: “Fine, I understand your answer..”
