"Search...search for what, big brother, sister-in-law, have you lost your minds?

Clearly, the thief of the bracelet is that brat from the third branch, if you want to search, search their place. What does this have to do with me, Mu Danian?"

Mu Danian couldn’t care less about being reprimanded by Mu Shuangshuang at this moment.

All he knew was that no one could search his room!

If they found the gold bracelet, he would be finished!

Mrs. Lin also remembered that the bracelet was with Mu Danian, and she didn’t want anyone searching Mu Danian’s room either!

She shouted loudly, "Big brother, sister-in-law, even if you’re biased towards the third branch, you can’t be this biased. Clearly, it’s the brat that’s the thief, why involve innocent people?"

"Gou Dan’s mother, what are you talking about? What do you mean we’re biased? We’re just trying to clear Fifth of suspicion!"

Mrs. Jin was displeased with Mrs. Lin’s ranting right in front of her.

Besides, with Mrs. Lin about to face dire consequences, she didn’t want to hold back anymore!

"Clear suspicions? That’s nice to say! Why don’t you talk about how you saw the third branch open a restaurant and have a school, and you want to curry favor with them to get some benefits?"

"You..." Mrs. Jin was about to go mad with anger from Mrs. Lin!

She knew Mrs. Lin had an uncouth temper, but she never expected Mrs. Lin to be this crude, saying such outrageous things!

"Alright, stop talking!" Mr. Mu said.

"Dad, this matter can’t be kept quiet. Big brother and sister-in-law teamed up with that brat to bully me!

Poor me, Mu Danian, alone and helpless, with no one to speak up for me. How can I stand against these people?

I’m pitiful! I’m wronged!" Mu Danian started to play the victim, even shedding a couple of crocodile tears.

He just wanted his dad to know what a great injustice he was suffering!

Maybe because of his suffering, they’d stop the search!

But Mu Danian overestimated his status!

Ever since Mu Dade came home, Mr. Mu naturally consulted him on all matters, big or small.

"Dade, what’s your opinion on this?" Mr. Mu ignored Mu Danian’s words and turned to ask Mu Dade!

Mu Dade naturally sided with his wife, Mrs. Jin.

He didn’t even bother to avoid suspicion, speaking directly, "Dad, what Shuangshuang said makes sense. The matter with the bracelet in Dan Dan’s mother’s hand, only those who were in the living room that day knew.

The third branch wasn’t present; they couldn’t possibly know! Moreover, Xiao Han is just a kid; he wouldn’t have any use for the gold bracelet!"

Mr. Mu nodded in agreement with Mu Dade’s words.

"Since that’s the case, let’s search!"

Mr. Mu’s words hit Mu Danian like a bolt from the blue, leaving him stunned!

He widened his eyes, looking at Mr. Mu in disbelief: "Dad, do you know what you’re doing? You’re wrongly accusing your own son, your biological child! Do you want me dead?"

"Dad, let’s not search anymore, Fifth is at the end of his rope!" Mrs. Lin still wanted to speak on Mu Danian’s behalf, trying to change Mr. Mu’s mind.

"Second aunt, I never knew you got along so well with my Fifth Uncle? You’re not stopping the search because you know something, are you?" Mu Shuangshuang sneered coldly, looking at Mrs. Lin with disdain!

Mrs. Lin’s gaze shifted evasively; she didn’t dare meet Mu Shuangshuang’s eyes directly.

But being an adept troublemaker, she knew one thing: deny to the end!

"Brat, don’t slander me! Let me tell you, I’m not one to be trifled with!"

Mu Shuangshuang rolled her eyes, truly unafraid!

"What are you all waiting for? Hurry up and search!" Mr. Mu shouted.

Mrs. Jin, Mu Dade, Mu Dashan, and Mu Dajiang all rushed towards Mu Danian’s room.

Mu Danian shouted and rushed in front of the four to stop them.

"Big brother, Third brother, sister-in-law, and Fifth, are you trying to force me to death?" Mu Danian asked.

Mu Dashan stepped forward and punched Mu Danian’s face, pressing him to the ground.

He shouted to Mu Dajiang, "Big brother, sister-in-law, Fourth, help me search, I’ll hold down Fifth!"

Mu Danian, like a rooster in distress, was pinned to the ground by Mu Dashan, completely unable to move!

He cursed Mu Dashan, cursed Mu Shuangshuang, and even cursed Mu Dade and Mrs. Jin.

Mu Shuangshuang found Mu Danian too loud, picked up a piece of cloth someone had thrown on the ground, rolled it up, and stuffed it into Mu Danian’s mouth.

She instructed Mu Dashan, "Dad, this isn’t over! You must watch over Mu Danian, later, I want to settle the score with him!"

Mu Shuangshuang’s anger hadn’t subsided; her brother was bullied for no reason, and she wouldn’t let Mu Danian get away easily!

Mrs. Jin and Mu Dade entered Mu Danian’s room and started rummaging everywhere.

On the kang, in the quilt, anywhere the bracelet could be hidden, they turned inside out.

But nothing was found!

Mu Danian’s room, after this search, had turned into a garbage dump.

Clothes and furniture were scattered everywhere, the table and stools lay unceremoniously on the ground.

Mu Dade and Mrs. Jin looked at each other, neither believing they hadn’t found anything!

They initially wanted to ruin Mu Danian and Mrs. Lin’s reputations with this search. This way, the two would stop talking about going to the county!

"Dade, let’s keep searching, it’s definitely in this room!"

Mrs. Jin didn’t believe it; she felt they’d find the bracelet even if they had to dig through the floor!

Mu Danian was firmly pinned under Mu Dashan’s foot. Seeing Mu Dade and Mrs. Lin find nothing after all this, he became a bit too complacent.

"Big brother, sister-in-law, don’t waste your energy. You won’t find the bracelet because it’s not with me, it’s that brat from the third branch, that thief!"

Just as Mu Danian finished speaking, Mu Dashan stomped hard on his back.

"Fifth, shut your mouth! Speak another word, and I’ll kill you, you shameless thing!"

Mu Dashan showed no mercy.

He pulled and tugged at Mu Danian’s body, shouting loudly!

At that moment, Mu Dajiang walked out of Mu Danian’s room.

"Didn’t...didn’t find it!"

Mu Danian let out a sigh of relief.

Mrs. Lin also breathed a sigh of relief.

Just when they thought the threat had passed, Mu Shuangshuang stepped forward, grabbed Mu Danian by the collar.

Dragging him like Mu Danian once dragged Xiao Han to the Old Mu Family, Mu Shuangshuang pulled Mu Danian back to his room.

Mu Danian wanted to resist, wanted to break free, but Mu Shuangshuang was using all her strength this time.

Whenever Mu Danian dared to move, she’d kick him hard.

Mu Danian was thoroughly bruised all over, from back to legs, there wasn’t a spot that didn’t hurt...
