Black Lotus is reborn. Hush! Just lie down and be quiet.

Xiao Zhiguang had a helpless look on his face and he sighed deeply. He wanted to say something but then closed his mouth, acting the role of a helpless, worried and angry stepfather to perfection.

If Xiao Yingyue had not called the police before, Ban Yuming would definitely sympathize with Xiao Zhiguang and think that his stepdaughter who ran away from home was too ignorant. But now Ban Yuming only thinks that Xiao Zhiguang is deep-minded, hypocritical and vicious. No wonder he forced Xiao Yingyue to run away from home.

"Comrade Public Security, they say that family disgrace should not be made public, but I really have no other choice. Yingyue has been missing for more than ten days. Her mother is so worried that she can't get out of bed. I am also so worried that I have no mood to go to work. I have no choice but to ask you for help. Alas!"

Xiao Zhiguang spoke with such sincerity that his eyes turned red. He also had a handsome face and a heroic air. Anyone who saw him would think he was a good, honest man. With his performance, his neighbors had been fooled by him over the years.

"What's your stepdaughter's name?"

Ban Yuming asked while taking notes, his expression grim.

"Xiao Yingyue, the Yingyue from Erquan Yingyue, this child is eighteen years old now. She has been a headache since she was young. I worry more about raising her than raising my own children. After all, she is not my biological child. I can either beat her or scold her, but I am afraid of outsiders..."

"Your home is No. 266 Baoqingfang. I checked and found that the owner of this house is your stepdaughter Xiao Yingyue. You and your child are actually boarding here."

Ban Yuming interrupted him and asked about the house.

Xiao Zhiguang was stunned, then became embarrassed and angry, but it only lasted for a few seconds, and soon he returned to his fatherly appearance. He smiled helplessly and said self-deprecatingly: "Yes, the house belongs to Yingyue. Her biological father is my senior brother. He said some inappropriate things back then. Sigh... I won't talk about the past."

Ban Yuming glanced at him, suppressed his disgust, and said, "I have a case here that I need to find you for. Your stepdaughter came to report that you had attempted to rape her many times, and that you and your wife Ding Yumei had abused and beaten her, so she had to run away from home. Xiao Yingyue found us and said that she was already eighteen years old and no longer needed your guardianship. In consideration of your kindness in raising her, she will not hold you and Ding Yumei responsible. She only asks that your family of four move out and stop disturbing her life in the future!"

Xiao Zhiguang's face changed drastically. That little bitch actually dared to report the case?

Damn it, if Xiao Zhifei hadn't said that Xiao Xunmei only gave the gold bars hidden in the house to this little bitch, he would have killed her long ago!

In fact, this is just one of the reasons. Xiao Yingyue became more and more beautiful as she grew up. Facing his stepdaughter who was as beautiful as a flower, Xiao Zhiguang had long had evil thoughts in his mind. If Ding Yumei had not kept a close eye on him, he would have taken action against this girl long ago.

"Comrade Public Security, swear to God, how could I do such a heartless thing? Xiao Yingyue is my daughter. If I...if I did that, what difference would there be between me and an animal?"

Xiao Zhiguang cried out in injustice and even squeezed out a few rat tears.

"If someone reports a crime, we the police will investigate. This is our duty. Don't worry, we won't wrongly accuse good people, and we certainly won't let bad people go!"

Ban Yuming made a solemn assurance. Xiao Zhiguang choked and felt uneasy. Could it be that this public security officer believed the little bitch's lies?

No, that little bitch doesn’t have that kind of brains. Why would she suddenly come to report the case?

Could it be that she made new friends?

Xiao Zhiguang felt even more uneasy. He knew Xiao Yingyue very well. She was impulsive and irritable. She would jump up and down at the slightest provocation and had no brains at all. But this little bitch listened to her father very much. She kept the house deed hidden very carefully over the years and kept her mouth shut. No matter how he and Ding Yumei threatened or tempted her, she refused to tell him where the gold bars were hidden.

In fact, Xiao Yingyue didn't know about the gold bars at all, and her father Xiao Zhifei didn't know either. He just said it deliberately to trick Xiao Zhiguang.

Xiao Yingyue listened to her father the most. Before Xiao Zhifei went to the Northwest Farm, he repeatedly reminded his daughter of two things. One was to hide the house deed well, and the other was to insist that there were two boxes of gold bars at home, which were left by her grandfather, but she must never tell anyone.

She kept her father's words in mind, and that's how she saved her life from the hands of Xiao Zhiguang and Ding Yumei.

Ban Yuming said sternly, "Xiao Yingyue is safe now. She is an adult and has personal freedom. As for you and Ding Yumei abusing and beating Xiao Yingyue, and your multiple failed attempts to rape her, we will investigate!"

"Comrade Public Security, I really didn't do that. I am innocent!"

"Whether it is a false accusation or not is not up to you to decide. We will know after we investigate!"

Ban Yuming was impatient and frowned. Xiao Zhiguang's heart skipped a beat, but he dared not cry anymore. He said aggrievedly, "I have nothing to fear from anyone. Just investigate. Please ask the police to tell Yingyue that even if she doesn't like me as her stepfather, she should still recognize her biological mother, right? Her mother can't get out of bed and can't eat. Let the child go home to see her mother. Sigh!"

Xiao Zhiguang finished his speech in a pretentious manner, then walked away sighing, his back hunched, looking very aggrieved and pitiful.

"Teacher, who is telling the truth between this father and daughter? Why does Xiao Zhiguang look more pitiful?"

The other police officers all started to have doubts. It was really that Xiao Zhiguang’s acting was too realistic, making Xiao Yingyue look like a disobedient and unfilial girl.

Moreover, since ancient times, whenever elders and juniors quarreled, everyone would subconsciously blame the juniors, thinking that they were extremely rebellious.

"We'll know who's real and who's fake once we check. Go ask Baoqingfang tomorrow."

In his heart, Ban Yuming believed in Xiao Yingyue. This girl had clear eyes and was not a cunning person. On the other hand, Xiao Zhiguang was full of cunning thoughts and never spoke a word of truth. It was obvious who was genuine and who was fake.

Xiao Zhiguang returned home with a gloomy face and smashed a lot of things, but they were all cheap items. He was reluctant to throw away the valuable ones.

"Have you found that damn girl? She refuses to come back?"

Ding Yumei's tone was full of disgust towards her daughter, and she didn't act like a mother at all.

"Don't mention that little bitch. Damn it, she actually dared to go to the police station to report me. This little bitch must have someone guiding her. Who did she go with that day?" Xiao Zhiguang glanced at his wife, quickly looked away, and almost vomited.

The scratches on Ding Yumei's face were all ulcerated and filled with pus, covered with yellow pus. Her face, which used to be pretty, now became uglier than a ghost. She would vomit up the overnight meal if she just looked at it.

Moreover, as Ding Yumei grew older, she gained weight and had many wrinkles on her face. She was originally two years older than Xiao Zhiguang and her face looked mature. Now that the two of them stood together, she looked at least ten years older. Xiao Zhiguang had long been disgusted with her, but he had to coax her because he had not yet got the house and the gold bars.

Besides, Ding Yumei is not a good person, and Xiao Zhiguang doesn't dare to break up with her.

Thinking of the ferocious crow that day, Ding Yumei's face turned ugly and the wound on her face became more painful. The claws of this crow were more poisonous than arsenic. She used the best medicine, but it was of no use. If it continued to rot, the doctor said it would definitely leave scars. She was almost dying of anxiety.
