Before leaving this city, I found Wang Qinming and his ex-wife's daughter, Wang Hongyu.

After reaching a cooperation agreement with Wang Hongyu, I went to the Wang family again.

Wang Hao's mom threw the card at my face, her nails glaringly red.

I demanded to see Wang Hao in person, and she immediately acted like she was facing a formidable enemy: "I already gave you the money, what more do you want? I'm warning you, don't go too far!"

I couldn't be bothered to argue with her, so I simply repeated her home address twice, my voice calm as an ancient well.

"If I really wanted to deal with him, wouldn't it be better to expose your home address and invite others to kidnap him?" I flashed the card in my hand, "I just want to know, did my grandfather leave me any message?"

The money gave her confidence, and she reverted to being the high-and-mighty wealthy wife: "I bet you wouldn't dare play any tricks! Otherwise, not only won't you survive in the online community, you won't even be able to continue your studies!"

It seems she didn’t know yet that I had already dropped out of school.

Indeed.

In their eyes, the life of a scavenger is no different from that of an ant.

Suppressing the overwhelming hatred in my eyes, I watched Wang Hao come down from upstairs.

He looked fierce but weak: "You, you, why are you here? I’m not afraid of you!”

"I know, I just want to ask, what was my grandfather doing at that time?"

He was stunned for a moment, his eyes darting around: "Nothing, nothing."

Then he raised his voice: "A scavenger has no manners at all! That cake was specially made for Xiao Qian by this young master. If Xiao Qian didn’t want it, then nobody should touch it! Who told that stinking beggar he could touch the cake?"

My heart ached terribly.

Sorrow, guilt, anger, and longing surged like a tidal wave.

But I had to bear it: "And later, did he leave any message for me?"

Wang Hao became impatient, glanced at his mom, muttering: "Trying to get the young master to talk, huh? Not going to happen! Let me tell you, I've already told the police, it was that old fool who grabbed my clothes first, so I fought back! Understand self-defense?

"He deserved to be beaten to death!"

He snorted coldly, his gaze flickering, head lifted high.

It gave me the perfect opportunity.

A side kick swung up, and his delicate chin was instantly knocked askew, two teeth mixed with blood spat out from his mouth.

Wang Hao's mom screamed for help while rushing to protect her son. I charged forward and started slapping her fiercely.

Only when her ugly face was covered in fallen powder did I see Wang Hongyu rush over in a panic, using her body to shield the convulsing Wang Hao's mom, crying and shouting continuously: "Please, don't hit Auntie anymore, hit me instead!"

This was the line we had planned.

Pretending to be scared by her threats to call the police, I hurled some harsh words and fled in a panic.

Wang Hongyu had always wanted to find a chance to take revenge on her scumbag father and stepmother.

Her biological mother was driven away, her father’s mistress took the place, and she was forced to stay at home to maintain the façade of harmony.

In reality, she had fallen into the role of a maid to her half-brother, constantly walking on eggshells.

Such deep hatred made it not too difficult to pull her into my camp.

Besides, I only gave her one task, which was to stay in that family, and to stay as long as possible.
