"Mei Langchi is not in the Capital City? Then where exactly did he go?" Lin Wan asked in confusion.

"I heard from your father-in-law that he went to the port. He also asked me to inquire if you know the number of the eldest uncle, so you can contact him and see if he can help find Xiao Chi’s whereabouts and have him call back home."

"Second Aunt, I need to head to the office first. For this matter, I’ll call Third Uncle when I have time. As for Li Liang’s parent’s home, Xiao Wan knows, Xiao Wan, you tell Second Aunt about the situation." Han Yi checked his watch, gave brief instructions, and left directly. He didn’t say much, clearly not willing to deal with Mei Langchi’s affairs. Today, if not for Uncle and Aunt’s sake, he wouldn’t have agreed to make this call.

"Then you go ahead, just inform your Uncle after you make the call." Liang Qian knew Han Yi was busy, clarified the matter, and didn’t keep him.

The incident just happened yesterday. Even if Li Liang’s parents took the train yesterday morning, they probably couldn’t arrive today.

However, Lin Wan still gave Li Liang’s home address to her godmother.

Yesterday, the old man was so angry about this that he suffered a stroke and is still in the hospital. Over the next two days, Xie Lingzhi sure won’t have time to take care of him, and naturally, the task fell on the godmother. After she left, Lin Wan still called Su Ling and asked her to help look into the situation with Li Liang’s family.

Let’s see where Li Liang’s parents have taken Hua Hua.

"In my opinion, they are just asking for trouble. They are usually too careless, not even recognizing their own grandson. Sigh." Shen Qing remarked with notable emotion.

Liang Hongmei disagreed, saying, "You don’t know Ye Qing’s capabilities. It’s not surprising she can trick the Mei Family members."

"Looks like one must carefully choose when to marry. If you marry wrong, don’t expect peace for the rest of your life." Shen Qing spoke with insight. She herself was an example. With her mother-in-law around, the Hu Family never had peace.

"Absolutely, haha, they’re sure to cause trouble again. Let’s not meddle in this. Once Xiao Wan finishes her confinement, we’ll leave. Although the Capital City is nice, with the Mei Family people here, we can’t live peacefully." Liang Hongmei saw it clearly; once they leave, with the distance, if they want to stir things up, they’ll have to go through a lot of trouble.

"This month will pass quickly." Shen Qing Hai Zhen seemed reluctant to part with the children. Once Xiao Wan and the others leave, who knows when they’ll meet again. In no time, her grandkids have grown up. Oh dear, she really couldn’t bear it.

....

Xie Lingzhi got up early in the morning, grabbed her bag, and went out.

She thought about it all night yesterday, the more she thought, the angrier she became. Today, she was determined to see Ye Qing, that crazy woman, even if she couldn’t find anything out, shouting at her would at least make her feel better.

Upon entering the psychiatric hospital, Xie Lingzhi was escorted by the doctor to Ye Qing’s room.

"The patient has been mentally unstable these days, frequently going berserk, especially at midnight when the episodes are even more severe. We had no choice but to isolate her in a separate room to avoid affecting others."

By the time the doctor was introducing the situation to Xie Lingzhi, they had already arrived at Ye Qing’s room.

Looking at a door with glass in front of her, Xie Lingzhi peeked inside and noticed there’s a wall made of iron bars.

The doctor conveniently opened the wooden door; there was about seventy to eighty centimeters distance, and then there was the iron barred wall.

And inside, Ye Qing was curled up in a corner, back facing them.

The doctor said to Xie Lingzhi, "She’s like this almost all day now, sometimes maintaining this posture without eating." The doctor added while glancing at Ye Qing inside, "It’s best if you don’t say anything to provoke her, try to maintain some distance. We’ll leave now."

Xie Lingzhi nodded toward the doctor, watching them leave. "Okay, thank you, doctor."

After the doctor left, Xie Lingzhi turned around and looked at Ye Qing facing away from her. Over more than a month, Ye Qing had become a ghost of a person. Just a breeze could blow her away, disheveled and filthy, who knows how many days it’s been since she last washed her hair and body.

Originally, Xie Lingzhi had been boiling with anger aimed at Ye Qing, but seeing her in this state now, she couldn’t utter a single word.

"Ye Qing, this stupid act of yours has nothing to do with us. Blame your own cruel heart. In the end, you harm others and yourself. I’m not here to see how miserable you are today, but to tell you, your son is missing...

Do you know who took him away? Hmph, it’s your old flame’s parents. Their son died, and now they’ve returned to demand their grandson from you.

Heh, you really have a great strategy, using my son to raise your bastard. You’re truly capable, aren’t you?

You let our Mei Family raise your son for several years. You’ve made our Mei Family a mess, while you enjoyed the good life here, being a glamorous wife for years.

But now, it seems that what’s happening to you is deserved. You’re getting what you deserve.

"Ah... ah... haha..." As soon as Xie Lingzhi finished speaking, Ye Qing suddenly rushed in front of her, clutching the iron bars, both crying and laughing.

Startled, Xie Lingzhi stepped back, "You... you mad woman. There’s no cure for you anymore. I’m telling you, if Hua Hua really isn’t ours, not only will we not look for it, but we also won’t pay any more for your treatment."

"It wasn’t me who killed him... it wasn’t me who killed him. Don’t haunt me, it was Mei Langchi, it was Mei Langchi who killed you. Go find Mei Langchi, hahaha... go find Mei Langchi..."

How could Ye Qing understand her words? She held onto the bars, muttering to herself, but her words shocked Xie Lingzhi, "Ye Qing, you mad woman, who are you talking about? Don’t say my son’s name. Did you commit murder? What’s it got to do with my Xiao Chi? Do you hear me? Don’t say my son’s name again in the future."

"Dad, it wasn’t me, it wasn’t me... Please don’t come after me. I’m obedient, I have money, a lot of money, I’ll give you all of it. I’ll give it all to you, hahaha... I’ll give it all to you." Ye Qing rambled deliriously, without even looking at Xie Lingzhi, slumping along the bars on her own, staring blankly into space, suddenly bursting into loud laughter...."

"Listen... did you hear me? I said, don’t drag everything onto my son. Shut up immediately."

In a panic, Xie Lingzhi swung her purse at Ye Qing’s head, and Ye Qing, completely unaware of her actions, was struck on the head by Xie Lingzhi’s bag.

Ye Qing, mad and oblivious, didn’t even attempt to dodge, only wrapping her head with her arms and trembling as she said, "Don’t hit me, dad, Ah Qing knows her mistake, Ah Qing is very obedient. Ah Qing is very obedient."

"Did you hear me? Don’t say my son’s name again in the future. If I hear you say one bad word about him, believe me, I’ll beat you even crazier today. You cheap woman, even when you’re insane, you want to drag my son down, framing him." Seeing her cover her head, crouching there muttering silly words.

"I don’t dare anymore, I really don’t dare anymore, please spare me, dad, please spare me." Ye Qing suddenly stood up, grabbed Xie Lingzhi’s clothes, frightening her into screaming, and hit her with the bag, "Crazy woman, let go of me."

"No... no, I’m not me, it wasn’t me who did it, it was Mei Langchi. Dad, you’ve wrongly accused me, you can’t eat me, you can’t. Ah... I’ll let you eat, let you eat." Ye Qing, as if provoked, suddenly became manic, pulling Xie Lingzhi’s clothes and dragging her sharply towards the bars. Then she stretched her hand, pounding it against Xie Lingzhi’s head.

Despite Ye Qing’s empty-handedness, her hit was more painful than Xie Lingzhi’s bag, making Xie Lingzhi scream.

"Ah... ah... someone come quickly, save me. Is anyone there?" Xie Lingzhi couldn’t break free, so she shouted loudly for help.

"I want to eat your brain, haha... haha I want to eat your brain..." At this moment, Ye Qing, possessed like a demon, placed her hand on Xie Lingzhi’s head, clawing at her scalp, as if she had sharp claws to pierce Xie Lingzhi’s brain.

Even though Ye Qing’s nails aren’t long, such harsh scratching on her head would make it unbearably painful.

By the time the hospital’s doctors and nurses rushed over, Xie Lingzhi’s hair was already a disheveled mess, her scalp covered in nail marks from Ye Qing, painfully unbearable.

"Quick, give the patient a sedative injection." After the arriving doctor pulled them apart, he quickly directed the nurse to give the now manic Ye Qing an injection and then turned to Xie Lingzhi, "Madam, are you alright?"

"Ah... my head, Ye Qing, you crazy woman. You wait for me." Xie Lingzhi was helped, clutching her head in pain, pointing at Ye Qing.

The doctor didn’t say much, quickly escorting her back to the office, "Madam, the patient’s mind is unstable right now, she could go crazy anytime, it’d be best for you to come back in a couple of months. I’ll take you to treat the wounds first."

"Doctor, I suggest you gag this woman, she keeps talking crazy. It’s just infuriating."

The doctor awkwardly smiled, not answering; initially, they thought this woman was Ye Qing’s mother, but now it’s apparent she wasn’t. If she were, she wouldn’t say something so malicious before a patient. The hospital certainly didn’t have the right to silence someone.

Once Xie Lingzhi finished treating her wounds, she wanted to see what Ye Qing was like now, but the doctor used Ye Qing’s sleep as an excuse to refuse, smiling as he sent her out of the hospital, telling her to rest up. Xie Lingzhi originally came to find out about Hua Hua’s background from Ye Qing, but unexpectedly, Ye Qing was this insane. Not only did she fail to get the information but also ended up with a scratched head from Ye Qing, left feeling frustrated and annoyed.
