“What did you say? Song Zhou is missing?” Ruan Yu, who was flipping through medical books and studying the tame head technique, couldn’t help but be shocked when she heard the news that Yuan Niang had rushed back to report.

How could that be?

“Mrs. Luo realized that something was wrong and came to the medical center to inform me.” Yuan Niang was so anxious that she was sweating. She told Lin Suisui everything Mrs. Luo had told her previously before saying, “According to Mrs. Luo, this matter definitely has something to do with the Zhou family!”‘

“Did you report it to the officials?”

Lin Suisui put down the medical book in her hand and asked Bai Guo to get a handkerchief to wipe Yuan Niang’s sweat.

“Yes. After Mrs. Luo came over and told me about this, 1 asked the servant in the medical center to accompany Mrs. Luo to report it to the officials first!

How dare they go straight to her house to abduct her in broad daylight? How lawless!¹¹

As Yuan Niang wiped her sweat, she expressed her anger and dissatisfaction over this matter. At this point, she seemed to have thought of something and said to Lin Suisui, “By the way, this happened too suddenly and I didn’t know if the Song family’s home was still dangerous, so 1 didn’t dare to let the daughters go back. 1 only left them in the medical center to wait for news.”

“This matter is really strange.” Lin Suisui nodded in agreement with Yuan Niang’s arrangements. Then, she muttered hesitantly, “No matter how anxious the Zhou family is, after seeing how the Song family didn’t obtain Song Zhou’s family’s assets, they should know that Song Zhou and her daughters aren’t easy to deal with.

How could they commit a crime at this time?”

“Something must have happened to the Zhou family.” Yuan Niang guessed tentatively, “Two days ago, a guest from the medical center mentioned that the eldest son of the Zhou family has been entering and leaving the casino recently.

I wondered if the eldest son of the Zhou family owed money in the casino, so he had to wait for Song Zhou to repay the debt to save his life?”

“That might explain this matter.” Lin Suisui could guess without thinking that what Yuan Niang was talking about was most likely the reason the Zhou family acted so abnormally this time and took such a huge risk to attack Song Zhou.

“Yin Qiao, go and inform Su Le to get ready. We’ll go to the medical center first and bring the daughters to the Zhou family to ask for her! ”

Lin Suisui calculated the time. In such a short period of time, no matter what the Zhou family was thinking, it was impossible for them to bring Song Zhou too far.

Most likely, Song Zhou was still in the Zhou family’s home!

The moment the eldest daughter and the others, who were anxiously waiting for news in the medical center, saw Lin Suisui, the three children couldn’t help but cry.

In particular, the third child, who was the youngest, cried until she was out of breath.

“Don’t cry. Be good. Don’t worry. I’ll bring you guys to the Zhou family’s home to ask them for her! No matter what, we have to think of a way to save your mother first.” Lin Suisui rubbed the top of the eldest daughter’s head gently as she coaxed her patiently. “However, in order to go to the Zhou family’s home to ask for her, you girls have to listen to my arrangements, okay?”

“We’ll listen to whatever you say, Madam, as long as we can save our mother.” The eldest daughter raised her hand to wipe her tears and looked down at the third child, who was hugging her leg and crying pitifully. The tears that she had finally stopped fell again. “Yesterday, the second child and I thought that when we came to work today, we should leave the third child at home to accompany our mother.

Our mother said that if we left her at home without anyone to accompany her, she would be lonely and afraid, so she told the third child to come with us.

She said that she could stay at home alone.

“But who knew…”

“You guys are already very lucky.” Yuan Niang wiped the tears of the eldest daughter and the other two children with a handkerchief. At the same time, she persuaded them in a choked voice, “If the third child had really stayed at home as you arranged yesterday, we don’t know what w^Tould have happened!

“She’s just a child. If she encountered something as dangerous as what happened in your family today, I wonder what the consequences would have been!”

Yuan Niang wiped the tears from the eldest daughter’s face before continuing to persuade her, “Alright, now is not the rime to cry. I ll bring you girls to wash up first. We’ll talk about what to do on the way.”

No matter how much Lin Suisui cared about the daughters, she still needed a reason to ask for their mother.

Therefore, she had to bring the oldest daughter and the others along.

Because the third child was still young, they wanted to keep her in the medical center. However, the third child was clearly frightened by this sudden change and refused to be separated from her two sisters.

The third child hugged the eldest daughter’s leg as she followed them.

According to what Yuan Niang had asked Mrs. Luo previously, Lin Suisui had some understanding of the Zhou family’s situation.

The Zhou family’s ancestors were actually quite rich.

When business was at its best, it was said that there were five to six shops in Cloud Mountain City alone.

However, later on, the descendants were incompetent, so the family declined generation by generation. Now, the entire Zhou family only had a few assets left to live on.

They only had so few family assets, but the Zhou family had a lot of sons.

In the past, when the children were still young, the relationship between the brothers was barely passable.

However, after the Zhou family’s eldest son and the others got married and had children, the relationship between the brothers became more and more strained over the few assets.

It was also because of this that after the incident with the Song family, the Zhou family focused their attention on the dry goods shop that originally belonged to the Song family.

The business of this dry goods shop was actually average. What was precious was that shop’s location.

Be it the location or size, they were all good! Be it renting the shop out or keeping the shop in their hands to do some business, they would be able to earn a lot of money!

Sr. Zhou was so delusional that he already treated the Song family’s asset as the Zhou family’s asset!

However, despite how well he arranged things, his sons were prodigal.

He didn’t expect his three sons to become addicted to gambling!

Not only that, but what was even more shocking was that his three sons had lost so much money that they borrowed money from loan sharks in the casino!

Now, the interest had increased, and the casino’s debt collectors had even come to their home!
