Chapter 296: Shocking answers

"I...I..." She stammered.

Chi Zimo smirked at the lost and confused look on his grandmother’s face and said. "Cat got your tongue, huh."

"We don’t know anything." Their aunt interfered unwelcomingly.

"Who told you to talk?" Ringo barked.

Chi Lian left her seat, approached her grandmother and squatted down. Looking directly in the old woman’s eyes she said, "Are you really determined to die on this hill number one? There are other ways to make you talk you know. You can deny it all you want but the facts cannot be changed. Like the fact that the house you lived in was purchased one week after my mother was born. Were you paid by someone to take my mother in because that’s the only logical explanation?"

Rather than answer her, the old woman clamped her mouth shut.

"You really are determined to take the secret to the grave huh," Chi Lian said, "You have forced me to do what comes next."

"Spider, take the excess baggage away, they can be returned from where they were picked up. We only need her."

Spider and old tiger came over, grabbed her aunt, uncle and cousin. They were dragged away while screaming and fighting.

As soon as silence returned, Chi Lian took a syringe out of her pocket and shoved into her grandmother’s neck so suddenly.

"What’s that? What have you done to me?" the old woman shouted.

"Don’t worry about it, just relax." Chi Lian answered.

"Sister what’s that?" Chi Zimo who always felt the need to know everything asked.

"My personal concoction of a truth serum." She answered. Some things, there was no need to hide because the all the people in this room would not betray her. Unless Muyang abandoned her his brothers would forever protect her.

She could judge this easily from the way Ringo slapped her grandmother for calling her a whore. It was not necessary for him to defend her but he did it anyway.

"Nice." Triplet three nodded.

She had been expecting more questions from all of them but no one asked a thing, choosing to trust her.

Chi Lian went back to her chair. Crossed her legs and waited for five minutes to elapse before beginning her questioning.

She started with asking her grandmother her first name, age, phone password and when she answered truthfully, the real questions started.

"Where is your oldest daughter?" She said.

"My oldest daughter is dead." She answered.

If Chi Lian was carrying a glass, it would be on the floor in pieces at the moment.

"Did I just mishear hear?" she asked as she looked around at everyone else.

Chi Wei jumped up from his chair and pointed at their grandmother with shock in his eyes. "Nope, I am pretty sure she has just said that her oldest daughter is dead. But what exactly does it mean? What about our mother?" his voice was high pitched and he was extremely outraged.

"Brother calm down, we still have time to get the answers we want." She told him.

Chi Rui was buzzing like a bee when he sat back down unwillingly and Chi Lian continued her questioning.

"What about the one you have raised as your first daughter?"

"She is not my daughter; she was handed to us as we were leaving the hospital by a woman."

"Is that why you hate her?’ Chi Lian asked.

"I hate her because she is not mine, how can I love a child that is not my own? I had just lost my own daughter when she was forced onto me so how could I love another person’s daughter? Each time I see her I am reminded of what I lost. She is nothing but a source of torment for me. I tried to throw her away but my husband would not let me do it because we were paid really well to raise her.

But why should I raise her? Why should she eat, laugh and live well when my own daughter did not get to do any of these things? Since she was raised by me in place of my dead daughter then she should pay the price. She must live like a slave all her life and provide for my only child. That is what she deserves. " she replied with so much bitterness in her voice.

This kind of hatred had seeped into her bones and it could not be washed away with anything.

Chi Lian shook her head, was that really it? She was expecting her grandmother’s hatred to have steamed from a major incident caused by her mother but it was as simple as not being her biological child.

"All that wickedness was for that reason." Chi Rui said in wonder.

"Such a stupid reason moreover." Ringo added. "How could she pour all her hatred and anger out on an innocent child who knew nothing?"

Chi Lian ignored their thoughts and asked, "How much were you paid?"

"Five million Yuan."

"Do you know the woman who paid you?"

"No."

"Would you recognize her if you saw her again?"

"No."

"Did you keep anything like clothes or jewelry that she was wearing when she was handed to you?"

"I burnt the clothes and gave the moon shaped pendant to my daughter."

"Did the woman ever contact you again?"

"No."

Chi Lian was stumped. She had some answers but a lot of gaps were still empty. All they had now was concrete evidence that their mother had been thrown to the Li family by someone who had money. Five million Yuan was a large sum of money, especially in the past years when poverty was still rampant.

"Host, there is no official record of a death certificate for a child under the Li family that year."

"What happened to your daughter’s corpse?" Chi Lian asked her.

Tears surprisingly quickly flowed out the old woman’s eyes. "I don’t know, the woman took away the corpse of my child."

"So they traded the corpse of their child for money." Ringo said.

"Sister what are we going to do? If she doesn’t know who handed her mother to raise up then we have no bread crumbs to follow." Chi Zimo said with hopelessness filled in his voice.

"Not exactly." Muyang said. "The woman took the corpse for a reason. She wanted a dead baby girl for a reason and that dead baby was swapped with your mother. If we can find out how many death certificates were issued for infant girls from semi wealthy or wealthy families, we will be closer.

We can narrow the list down further by looking for which member of those families gave birth in B city at that time because the incident took place in B city. Moreover, we can prioritize by focusing on the hospital your gran...number one gave birth in or hospitals around."

"Brother-in-law, you are so smart." Chi Zimo said.

Muyang simply smiled at him.

"Do you have any more questions for her?" he asked her.

"No," she replied. "I think we have everything we need for now."
