Chapter 449

"Your adoptive parents' two sons, along with your biological uncle, are conspiring to make you disappear... If I were you, I wouldn't be able to sleep for half a year out of anger," Yu Cheng said, exasperated.

Wang Qinghe shot him a look. Yu Cheng was good in every way, except for his sharp tongue. The things Wang Qinghe had allowed to happen for the sake of revenge, when spoken by Yu Cheng, made him even angrier.

"Fine, I was wrong, okay? Stop looking at me like that, it's creepy. You’re coming along to help figure things out, right? I’ll head home first. If you're not back by the afternoon, I'll pick up your sister-in-law for you."

Yu Cheng felt like he was one step ahead.

With Wang Qinghe’s temper and such danger, he wouldn’t let his wife go home alone.

Since he hadn’t involved anyone else, he’d probably have to go himself.

"Thanks," Wang Qinghe said, then followed.

Zhou Jiaojiao had been on edge all morning at the neighborhood office. She was already out of her depth, and now she was even more lost.

She decided to call it a day and leave. Instead of heading home, she asked around and made her way to He Youde’s place.

With such a big incident, He Youde had skipped work today. He’d been on edge all day, holed up at home with his father, He Quan, waiting.

He Quan was frustrated seeing his son crumble under pressure.

"Look at you, what kind of state are you in? Didn’t we cover all the bases? What’s there to be afraid of?" He Quan snapped at He Youde to stop pacing, saying it was making him dizzy.

He Youde’s anxiety didn’t ease up. He turned to look at his father, who didn't seem worried at all, and suddenly thought, "Dad, you weren't involved in this at all, so of course you're not as scared!

But I was involved. Those brats from Old Wang’s family forced me to write a guarantee letter. If I didn't write it, they wouldn't help.

What if they get caught? What happens to me then?

They’d never cover for me!"

"You shouldn’t have written it in the first place. If you had told me beforehand, we could have just called it off. This is too risky.

Now that we’re in this deep, all we can do is wait.

Didn't they say we should have news by the afternoon?"

He Quan felt that his son really lacked foresight.

"There’s a woman outside, in her twenties, asking for you," He Youde's wife said coldly as she entered the room.

The family had been busy these past few days, and she had a bad feeling about it.

Moreover, Huihui had become distant and didn't seem to care about the family. Even though she knew something was going on, she didn't even ask and just hid in the west room.

"A woman? Probably Zhou Jiaojiao. Quickly bring her in, maybe she has good news," He Youde said excitedly.

If he weren't afraid of being manipulated, he would have gone out himself.

Soon, He Youde's wife brought the woman in.

As soon as Zhou Jiaojiao entered, she immediately put pressure on them: "My husband and my second brother haven't returned yet. Do you think something might have happened? I've been feeling uneasy all day at work."

"What could possibly happen?" He Quan glared at her. This girl really doesn’t know how to read the room.

Just when Youde had finally calmed down, she showed up.

It's true what they say, long hair, short sense. She usually seems pretty sharp, but in reality, that's all there is to it.

"I... I'm worried. My gut feelings are usually spot on," Zhou Jiaojiao wasn't sure how to explain her knack to the family.

"Alright, what's the plan? By the way, I heard you wanted my son to write some guarantee letter? That guarantee letter—you didn't bring it along, did you?" He Quan's eyes showed shrewdness.

Zhou Jiaojiao's heart skipped a beat—they're definitely up to no good!

"Of course, that thing has to be with my man. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, can you handle it?" Zhou Jiaojiao sneered, seeing their disappointed faces.

"What? You want to grab the thing and then bail on them? Not a chance. I'm not afraid to tell you—that guarantee letter is with my man. If something happens to him and you don't step up, you'll be dragged into it too!"

Zhou Jiaojiao's attitude was fierce.

Now, He Quan was also on edge—could something really go down?

"If something goes wrong, how would we even know?" He Youde's wife came in from the kitchen and suddenly asked them.

Then everyone froze—right! They don't even have a way to get updates.

If something goes wrong, they won't even have time to think.

"Either wait for Wang Qinghe to fetch his wife, or if you know someone, do some digging. If something really goes down, it definitely won't be quiet," Zhou Jiaojiao said with a gloomy face.

This guarantee letter—she has to keep it safe.

As long as she doesn't hand it over, even if Wang Qingfu and her man point fingers, He Youde just has to deny it.

Then, she can still use this guarantee letter to keep the He family in check.

If something goes wrong, her man will be useless—she has to look out for herself.

Originally, she didn't have strong feelings for Wang Qingqi—it was all about chasing the dream of a good life.

Thinking that the good life might just be a pipe dream, Zhou Jiaojiao got even angrier.

"I'll go ask around," He Quan said, looking at his pale-faced son, knowing he was useless, so he decided to do it himself.

While He Quan was out asking around, both he and Zhou Jiaojiao were on edge.

It was a full hour later when He Quan finally returned.

When he came back, his face was ashen.

Seeing him like this, He Youde couldn't even stay seated: "Dad... did something really go down?"

Zhou Jiaojiao also froze.

He Quan glanced at Zhou Jiaojiao and cursed: "Those two men from your Old Wang’s are just two good-for-nothings! They took so many people and still something happened. I heard a bunch of people were taken from the factory building for questioning.

Your man kept shouting along the way that He Youde hired him.

Does he have no shame? He took our family's benefits and then sold us out when something happened?

I tell you, if we don't come out of this well, none of your family will escape!

Do you really think our family is someone you can mess with casually?"

Zhou Jiaojiao also changed her expression: "What? This mess was started by you, you threatened us to help, and now you want to hide when something happens? Don't dream, we'll all go down together!

I don't believe that our Old Wang’s family has no backbone, if something happens, it happens.

Your family can't bear to have something happen to your family."

He Youde was about to cry: "Dad, will this affect Xiao Tian? Dad, you have to save me, if I get caught, what will happen to my family?"

"What's the use of crying? What I'm most worried about now is if your brother finds out about this..." He Quan was scared just thinking about it!
