Ye Hongyu sighed heavily and said to Fang Yue, "Tell her, if she continues to pester me like this, you will never have peace in your life."

Fang Yue turned and glared at Gu Jinlan, "If I tell you the truth, will you let us go from now on?"

Gu Jinlan said in a deep voice, "I don't know, but if you still want to hide it from me, I will never let you go! With my current status, you should know that I have many ways to deal with you! Today, I must know the truth!"

Before, her intuition had always told her that her child was still alive. She even suspected that she was too neurotic, because she could not accept the fact that her child had passed away, which led to such an illusion.

But at this moment, since she has confirmed that they have been deceiving her, she must make them tell the truth today no matter what!

"Say it!"

Gu Jinlan let out a low roar, frightening the couple so much that they trembled.

Facing Gu Jinlan's questioning eyes, Ye Hongyu dodged and said, "That child... did... did not die of illness."

Gu Jinlan grabbed Ye Hongyu by the collar, "What's going on? Get to the point!!!"

Ye Hongyu stammered, "At... at that time, we took the child away just... just to get you to agree to marry Song Youze in place of Wanwan. We were planning to return the child to you after... after you and Song Youze got married, but..."

"But what? Tell me now!"

"That...that child, no...is missing..."

Gu Jinlan's heart trembled, and he lowered his eyes blankly, "Gone? What does that mean?"

Fang Yue said: "It was stolen."

Gu Jinlan was stunned for a moment, "It was... stolen?!"

"Yeah..." Ye Hongyu nodded, no longer daring to look directly into Gu Jinlan's eyes, "We really did look for it..."

Fang Yue also turned her head to the side.

There was a hint of blood red in Gu Jinlan's eyes. He took a deep breath, trying to calm down, but his heart was still beating wildly due to nervousness and excitement.

The feeling of irregular heartbeat made her almost unable to breathe.

She fumbled around in her clothes and trouser pockets, trying to find a cigarette, but found that she had no cigarettes on her.

Seeing that she looked pale and something was wrong, Ye Hongyu asked cautiously, "You...are you sick again?"

If anything happens to Gu Jinlan here today, neither the Shi family nor the Zhao family will let them go.

Four years ago, because Gu Jinlan suffered from severe depression and bipolar disorder, Mrs. Ye sent her abroad for treatment.

Gu Jinlan glared at Ye Hongyu.

Ye Jingwan came forward, took out a pack of ladies' cigarettes and a lighter and handed them to Gu Jinlan, "Lanlan, do you want to smoke?"

She knew that Gu Jinlan wanted to smoke. When she went to Gu Jinlan's bedroom to steal her evening dress, she saw cigarettes and lighters hidden in the corner.

Gu Jinlan looked up at Ye Jingwan, then at the cigarette in Ye Jingwan's hand. He struggled for a moment and said, "No need."

She raised her hand and pressed it against her chest, trying to regulate her breathing, telling herself in her heart that although the child had been stolen, at least she now knew that the child was not dead.

No matter how well or badly the child is doing now, as long as he is still alive, she can find him and they still have hope of reuniting!

After some psychological comfort, Gu Jinlan finally calmed down a little.

She looked at Ye Hongyu and Fang Yue: "Didn't you call the police at that time?"

The couple didn't say anything and just kept their heads down.

Gu Jinlan said, "Speak!"

Ye Hongyu shook his head and remained silent.

Gu Jinlan asked: "Why didn't you call the police? Why?"

Ye Hongyu explained tremblingly: "At that time... Bokai was in urgent need of funds, and the cooperation with the Song family could not go wrong. Once the police were called, it would be known to everyone. If the Song family knew that you had given birth to a child, they would not want you. And the fact that you had a child out of wedlock... would also damage the reputation of our Ye family if it got out."

No one would want a woman who has given birth to a child as a bride for auspicious occasion.

Moreover, the loss of the child was actually one less trouble in the eyes of Ye Hongyu and Fang Yue.

If they keep the child with them, the Song family will find out sooner or later, and they will not be able to explain if the Song family comes to hold them accountable afterwards.

Gu Jinlan's eyes were tearful, tears of hatred welled up in his eyes, "Just to satisfy your own selfish desires, you let my child be stolen? He wasn't even a month old at the time, he was a living being! How could you be so cruel?!"

When she was abroad, she cracked down on a human trafficking gang.

Human traffickers steal or abduct children from all over the country to buy and sell them, to remove their organs, or to maim them and force them to beg.

In order to attract the attention of passers-by and gain sympathy when the children are begging, the traffickers will make the children look strange, such as breaking their organs, cutting off their hands and feet, pouring sulfuric acid on their faces, and cutting off their tongues...

Those demons have plenty of means.

She still remembers a scene vividly. That day she broke into the room where the children were locked up and saw that every child looked "strange". Even their biological parents could not recognize them if they stood in front of them.

She will never forget that scene in her life.

She had wondered if Ye Hongyu and his men had hidden her child somewhere or given it away.

The only thing she didn't expect was that her child was stolen.

Gu Jinlan was so heartbroken that she didn't dare to think too deeply about what her poor child had gone through after being stolen.

Fang Yue argued: "You are also responsible. If you were willing to make a little contribution to our family and cooperate in marrying Song Youze, we would not have taken your child away, and there would not have been any trouble later!"

Gu Jinlan looked at Fang Yue in disbelief.

He didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt? He even pushed the blame onto her?

It’s simply unreasonable!

Gu Jinlan gritted her teeth and said, "Where was the child stolen? Tell me the details of the situation!"

Ye Hongyu said: "It was at home. Your grandma was with you in the hospital at the time. I was working with the people from the Song family to coordinate your marriage with Song Youze."

"Home?" Gu Jinlan narrowed his eyes slightly.

She got pregnant secretly and gave birth to the child secretly. Even the relatives and friends of the Ye family didn't know about it. How did the human traffickers know that the Ye family had a baby?

It seems that he is not a human trafficker, but an acquaintance...

Gu Jinlan asked Ye Jingwan: "Where were you at that time?"

Ye Jingwan said: "I was traveling during those days, and I didn't know you had a child. I only found out about it not long ago."

Gu Jinlan looked at Fang Yue again, "What about you?"

Fang Yue curled her lips and said, "I went to bed early that day and I don't know anything."

Gu Jinlan asked, "Did no one see what the traffickers looked like? Aren't there surveillance cameras installed in the public areas of this house?"
