Chapter 449: Chapter 49: Confronting the Scumbag

Ah, but Xia Chuyi was unable to lie.

“Auntie, she didn’t go to Ling County,” she shook her head, her tone carrying a hint of apology.

As she shook her head, the only bit of hope on Mrs. Wang’s face disappeared.

Seeing this, Xia Chuyi immediately said, “However, I did hear some news.”

“What?” Both Father Wang and Mrs. Wang were startled.

Xia Chuyi then repeated what she had learned about the situation.

After hearing her description,

Mrs. Wang was especially regretful and said, “It’s all my fault, I didn’t discover the note Xiao Fang left behind sooner! I didn’t go to the train station and ask more questions!”

“It’s not your fault,” Father Wang comforted Mrs. Wang. “The note fell into a corner, it’s normal that you didn’t see it at first.”

After comforting his wife, Father Wang turned to Xia Chuyi.

“You said that you have a suspicion about the person the sweet potato vendor mentioned,” Father Wang said, “Xia, can I ask who you suspect?”

Xia Chuyi didn’t hide her thoughts and shared what she had in mind.

“However, this is just a hypothesis, I can’t be certain,” Xia Chuyi said.

She was relatively calm, but Mrs. Wang could no longer contain herself and burst out, “Are you saying it might be that beast Song Yingjie’s new fling?”

“What grudge does she have against our Xiao Fang to treat her this way?”

Hearing Mrs. Wang say this, Xia Chuyi quickly added, “Auntie, we need to stay calm about this.”

“First off, I’m not completely sure if it’s ‘Meng Zhaodi.'”

“Secondly, even if it is ‘Meng Zhaodi’, we can’t be certain if she did anything.”

“But, it’s confirmed that she might have been the last person to see Xiao Fang.”

“Therefore, if we confront her, the first thing we should do is to stabilize her and then try to extract Xiao Fang’s movements after that.”

Hearing this, Mrs. Wang immediately responded, “Good, good, good, Xia is truly a Jing University student, so clear-headed!”

“We need to stay calm, first stabilize!”

Being a mother is tough, and now with a clue, Mrs. Wang forced herself to calm down.

Father Wang saw Mrs. Wang had calmed down and nodded, then asked Xia Chuyi, “What should we do next then?”

“Should we go directly to ‘Meng Zhaodi’?”

Xia Chuyi shook her head and said, “Actually, I’m not familiar with that person, and her real name likely isn’t ‘Meng Zhaodi’.”

Pausing for a moment, Xia Chuyi said, “So, to find her, we must start with Song Yingjie.”

Hearing this, Mrs. Wang was taken aback, then gritted her teeth and said, “Fine, I’ll go again, no matter if I have to throw a tantrum or play dumb, I will find out where that person is!”

“We should go together,” Xia Chuyi said, “It’s better to have more people for support.”

She was afraid Mrs. Wang might lose control and do something foolish.

“I’ll go too,” Father Wang said sternly.

At this point, Father Wang was ready to swallow his pride.

When they reached the downstairs, Xia Chuyi directly had Father Wang and Mrs. Wang get into the car provided by the liberation army from Huo Shiqian.

Father Wang and Mrs. Wang were initially stunned, but being worldly people, they quickly recovered their composure.

The group then boldly headed towards the Song Family.

At the Song family, at that moment,

Song Yingjie was lying on his bed, overhearing his father incessantly mumbling near his ear.

“People from the Wang family really have no shame. What, just because their daughter likes my son, does my son have to like her back?”
