Chapter 206: Chapter 206: The Main Culprit Feels Wronged?_1

Song Yunuan accompanied them upstairs.

The corridor was very quiet.

There were only a few of them.

Song Yunuan’s face grew cold, "Were you guys raised in the Valley of the Wicked, or is it that your entire family is made up of villains, without a single good soul?"

Pointing at Xia Zhi and Xia Liying with her finger, her eyes, however, were fixed on the other three people, "Their mother, Shangguan Yunqi, in 1950, with despicable and shameless motives, lured my uncle, who was only five at the time and a prodigy, away from Xia family village.

Through her elder brother, Shangguan Heng’s connections, she stuffed him into a sealed freight container and sold him to Xiangjiang.

My uncle was kept in a basement for thirty whole years, without seeing the light of day.

Shangguan Heng was vicious and cruel; whenever my uncle tried to go home to find his mother, he was beaten mercilessly with a whip.

My uncle’s body is covered with scars from years of whipping.

Now, my uncle has finally been rescued, finally returned home, but what now, are the perpetrators feeling aggrieved?

The family of the dead old hag actually has the audacity to seek revenge on the victim?

Is the world upside down?

The dead old hag feels wronged, and you come to seek justice for her, but what about my uncle?

Who will seek justice for the thirty years of his grievances, for the thirty years my grandmother lived a life worse than death, to whom should they turn for justice?"

Song Yunuan’s voice was sharp and crisp, her words incisive, and her demeanor icy, a stark contrast to her previously genial expression.

Qin Wang’s mind exploded with a bang.

His face instantly turned red.

He was not very clear on the details of this matter.

Qin Wang looked incredulously at Xia Liying.

His lips moved, because what Xia Liying had said was not like this.

She had said that Uncle Xia’s former wife and their three children were asking Xia Bowen for money and employment.

They also framed and slandered him, even though Uncle Xia’s wife had already helped them a lot, but they were insatiable and wanted more.

Their words were nasty; they were nothing but spiteful troublemakers with foul mouths, which was why they had angered Uncle Xia’s wife into the hospital.

Who... who should I believe?

The three of them were normal people, not born villains.

In the face of such a matter, they could not remain indifferent.

Sun Jingjing was a girl, and even if she was in a mess, she was captivated by Song Yunuan’s words spoken at that moment.

Back on the road, she had felt that what Song Yunuan said was somewhat different from Xia Liying’s version.

She looked at Xia Liying in disbelief.

Uncle Xia’s wife was so gentle, beautiful, and elegant.

How could she have sold Uncle Xia’s son from his previous marriage to Xiangjiang thirty years ago?

To be kept in a basement for thirty years without seeing the light of day?

And to be beaten daily by Shangguan Heng?

Is... is this true?

Could it be just a story out of a comic book?

Tang Shougui wiped the mud off his face.

He was the eldest one here.

Twenty-five years old this year.

Like Xia Zhi, he was up to no good, enticing cats and teasing dogs.

He had also deceived several girls.

He was drawn here by the same lines Xia Zhi fed him, thinking he was righting wrongs and at the same time, might play around with a pretty girl.

Of course, since Uncle Xia’s wife was the head of guidance at Beidu University, perhaps he could even secure a guaranteed spot at the university for his brother.

With all these hidden motives, he naturally followed along gleefully.

But to be involved in human trafficking was too horrifying.

And unbelievable too.

Uncle Xia’s wife was gentle, beautiful, and dignified, how could she possibly do such a disreputable thing?

He asked Xia Zhi, "Is what Song Yunuan said true?"

Xia Zhi and Xia Liying wanted to say it was false.

But their lips moved without a sound, and they hung their heads in defeat and disgrace, without uttering a word.

This was, after all, the truth.

For some reason, the two people, who had been beaten like this, suddenly realized just how wicked their mother and uncle were.

But that was their mother.

What could they do?

Tang Shougui irritably grabbed a handful of his dirty hair.

So, this idiot really had gotten himself into a muddy mess?

Forget whose side Uncle Xia was on; this was no simple family matter. It had escalated to illegal actions. Why was an outsider like him getting involved?

He and Qin Wang exchanged glances, sharing the same thoughts.

Song Yunuan didn’t care what they were thinking.

She sternly warned, "None of you are allowed to leave Nanshan County Town until I say so."

Qin Wang was the first to commit, his voice hoarse, his face full of shame, "Okay, we won’t leave."

Xia Zhi and Xia Liying were really causing trouble.

Only then did Song Yunuan say, "As long as you don’t leave Nanshan County Town, you’re free to go wherever you want."

Qin Wang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, their freedom wasn’t restricted.

Song Yunuan quickly put the matter out of her mind, first heading to the post office to mail her manuscript.

Upon entering the post office, she saw the clerk who had helped her with the registration ledger last time.

The clerk was usually in the back, but it was a surprise to see her at the counter today; she must be on shift rotation.

Song Yunuan greeted her cheerfully, mentioning she had a manuscript to send to the publishers and that the editor-in-chief had called several times to rush her.

It absolutely must be sent off quickly then.

Big Sister Meng looked at Song Yunuan with admiration, "My, that’s something."

In this era, writers were greatly respected.

Not to mention such a young writer.

But Big Sister Meng still examined Song Yunuan carefully, feeling something about it didn’t quite seem real.

However, she still processed Song Yunuan’s manuscript through a special express service as per procedure.

Song Yunuan mentioned she needed to make a phone call, so she went to queue up first.

She also told Big Sister Meng, "You really are such a kind person," quietly taking two hair accessories from her bulging bag.

Her shoulder bag wasn’t just a single compartment.

It had three partitions.

The outside was made of stiff canvas.

But after putting a camera inside, it looked quite swollen.

The hair accessories were red velvet balls.

It’s always good to be prepared; Song Yunuan’s bag was never short on these little items.

With swift movements, Song Yunuan placed the hair accessories into a folder and handed it to Big Sister Meng.

Big Sister Meng accepted them and smiled at Song Yunuan.

But using the phone didn’t allow for shortcuts.

Song Yunuan didn’t intend to take shortcuts anyway.

In these times, making a phone call was inconvenient; people had to come to the post office, some even to send telegrams, with each word costing a dime. Generally, telegrams were just a few words long.

Song Yunuan and her brother queued obediently until it was their turn, and then she entered the room for private phone calls.

The operator connected the call.

Song Yunuan was just trying her luck; there was a chance Xia Bowen wouldn’t be at home or in the office.

Unexpectedly, Xia Bowen was in his office at this time.

At the sound of Song Yunuan’s call, for no apparent reason, his heart skipped a beat, and he started to sweat on his forehead.

On the other end, Song Yunuan’s voice was crystal clear, "Old Master Xia, hello, it’s Little Nuan here..."

"...Mhm, Little Nuan, I know it’s you. Are you calling about something?"

"I actually do have something to tell you. Did you know your son Xia Zhi and your daughter Xia Liying came to Nanshan County Town with three companions?"

Xia Bowen was immediately startled.

A bad premonition rose within him.

Song Yunuan continued, "They all accidentally fell into a mud ditch, covered head to toe in mud, the fall was really terrible.

They’re currently at the county guesthouse, and I estimate they will have to visit the hospital later.

Old Master, aren’t you planning to visit Nanshan County Town in a few days?

Perhaps you could take them all back with you then!"
