Chapter 225: Chapter 225: Receiving the News
After returning from the police station, Bai Cuilin naturally couldn’t escape a beating.
Even though this meant that Qiao Shuanzhu would definitely lose his bonus this month, and the two kids might have an even harder time, Bai Cuilin surely wouldn’t dare to hit them again.
He Jinxuan was cunning. After Qiao Shuanzhu had beaten Bai Cuilin, he approached Qiao Shuanzhu again. Nobody knew what he said, but afterward, Bai Cuilin received another beating.
As for those two families, there was no rush for now. It wouldn’t be too late to take action after making inquiries tomorrow. After all, Bai Cuilin was the one who first ran into them, so why not let her bear the burden for now?

On the other side of the family housing, at the Qiu Family, Qiu Jouxuan and Huang Yufeng hadn’t been able to contact their daughter for days. They were so anxious that they had mouth ulcers.
Huang Yufeng cried with red eyes, "It’s all your fault, letting our daughter go with them alone. Now look, we can’t even contact her."
Qiu Jouxuan’s hands trembled as he took a puff from his water pipe. He regretted deeply now, wondering how he could’ve been so foolish to believe Han Chunli’s words.
After another puff, he sat up straight, "If worst comes to worst, I’ll take our third son and head to the Capital."
Upon hearing this, Huang Yufeng said, "That sounds easy, but in a place where you don’t know anyone or anything, where would you start looking?"
Qiu Jouxuan replied, "Mr. Han is a notable person, and as long as we ask around in the Capital, we’re bound to hear something."
He knew that Mr. Han and his long-missing father had known each other. However, he found it curious that ever since his father’s disappearance, Mr. Han would bring Han Chunli to visit them every few years, always suggesting that he and Han Chunli should keep in touch in the future.
Because of this connection, when Han Chunli came to them that year with a little girl asking for help, he agreed, albeit also because she offered money generously.
After hearing this, Huang Yufeng also thought it made sense. It was better than sitting at home and waiting for something to happen: "I want to go too."
Qiu Jouxuan frowned, "You’re not in good health, don’t cause more trouble by coming along."
Urgently, Huang Yufeng said, "It’s better to endure together with you than to suffer at home alone. Don’t try to persuade me otherwise."
Just as they were discussing taking leave and heading to the Capital, they received news that their young lady was in trouble.
The Qiu Jouxuan couple no longer cared about bringing their younger son to the Capital. They quickly packed, got an introduction letter, and bought the earliest train tickets to the Capital.

Han Jingchen saw Su Jingsong enter, "The message has been sent?"
Su Jingsong put down the fruit he was holding, "Yes, by now they should already be on the train heading to the Capital."
Han Jingchen sneered with a hint of sarcasm, "Good that they are coming. Let’s see what other stories Han Chunli can make up."
However, the hand resting on the back of the chair gripped tightly. He wanted to personally extract the true account of that year’s events from their mouths and learn about his daughter’s whereabouts directly from Qiu Jouxuan.
If his daughter lives, they live, but their crime won’t go unpunished.
If his daughter dies, they perish.
He was now eager to meet the couple, Qiu Jouxuan and his wife.
Meanwhile, at the hospital, when Qiu Shaocheng came back yet again, Han Chunli was genuinely angry, "Why are you still here? I’ve told you, I won’t acknowledge you. If you don’t leave, I have many ways to deal with you."
Qiu Shaocheng, hearing her words, merely laughed, "Don’t worry, since I dared to come looking for you, I came prepared. If I go missing, there are people who will send the letters I’ve written to various places. You won’t escape the dual judgment of the law and morality."
