CHAPTER 828 — More Fear.

His words were straight, emotionless, and even shocking. At this point, Ding Jiaying knew she and her daughter were alone on this. Getting help from him to bring down Li Jing was a no. That was out of the question. "I bet the maid would love taking care of you," Ding Jiaying spat out, her eyes raking over his body in the wheelchair to ensure he got her threat. His lips parted to speak, but she had already made her move.

Fuming, she dragged her daughter by the hand and stormed out of the living room, heading straight for Li Xiu's room. ********** Follow current novels on novelb((in).(com)

The second the words fell out of Li An's lips, Ye Cheng felt his heart constrict. He was tired.

Honestly, but most importantly he was glad his mother was safe. "Uncle Fong."

"Ye Cheng." The man's sharp eyes were calm, but still, they held their deadly glint as he gestured for him to take his seat close to his mother.

"She informed me about the plate number, and I decided to do my investigation, but it seems as though that car never existed."

"How is that possible? There must be a name under which it was registered. Something."

"Yes, but the only name we saw was of a woman, and she is late."

Alarm shot through Ye Cheng's eyes. Quickly, he looked at his mother. From the story she told the police, it was a man driving the car. He took her friend into his car and drove off. Ye Cheng swallowed. "But perhaps we are checking the wrong place. I mean, what if that woman has a son or brother who she gave her car to that very day?"

He exchanged glances at both his mother and Fong Cai, hoping they saw his point and did not think he was crazy.

"There's that possibility and we checked. She doesn't have any siblings or children."

"It is why he said it was another dead end," Li An chimed in. "I... okay but where was her car on that very day?" Ye Cheng asked once more. He did not plan on giving up like the rest of them. To him, this cue was too good to just disappear that way. The fact that the car seems like a dead end is proof enough that so much happened and these two people are not with their families. Anyone who could do that to them, their lives definitely weren't in safe hands.

"He did."

"Good. That is all we need to know. For justice to be served, mum, let us keep trying."

"But..." He pulled his hand from hers and cupped her face gently in his. "One more try, mum. Once moe. After that, yes, I believe we would have given our all."

Fong Cai aquinted at Ye Cheng. Why was he speaking as though he had a big lead to what they needed to do? He did not let things sit quietly and questioned him. "Cheng, do you have a lead?"

His mind flashed back to the time he told Li Jing about the plate number and her reaction afterward.

Although he had no idea what exactly that was about, he believed that if she became more settled and he brought up the issue again, perhaps a solution would come into play. "No. However, I will give the search for that car's plate number another chance."

Once Li Xiu had calmed her mother down and the latter fell fast asleep in her room, she picked her phone, placing a call to the devil's pun. "Xiu!" Bai Qing Mei almost screamed into the phone, causing Li Xiu to pull the phone from her ear briefly. "What's up?"

What's up?

She raised a brow. Why was Bai Qing Mei being overly cheerful with her? For a moment, she tried figuring out what was happening, but when she could, she brushed it off. "Hello."

"Hi, so... what's up? Ignore my chirpy self. My grandfather has been realised!"

"Congratulations. It must be nice," she said calmly. "It is. He cherishes me more than my mum, I think. Well, he pampers me."

"Okay." "So...?"

"Nothing much, just that it is time to officially, finally put Li Jing in her place." Her lips curled up in a devious smile as she awaited Bai Qing Mei's confirmation.

"Bingo."
