When the police arrived, they saw there were too many people, so they didnât ask much outside and directly brought everyone to the station to question the situation.
As a result, this issue escalated to the Mei Family in the Capital City. A new police officer came in and didnât know about the Mei Family, so they directly called the local precinct in the Capital City to inquire about the Mei Familyâs address.
The precinct in the Capital City heard it was about the Mei Familyâs grandchild. Surprised, they chuckled and said, "Buddy, the Mei Familyâs grandson passed away from illness a few months ago. How could there be a grandson now? Could it possibly be a kidnapper on your end?"
The police in S City heard this and frowned first, "Buddy, couldnât be, the families here speak with certainty, both claiming itâs the Mei Familyâs grandson. Could there be some mistake in this?"
"Death isnât something you can joke about. The Mei Family held a funeral for their grandson on the very same day. Even our local officers know about it."
"This makes it difficult to handle. People over here insist itâs theirs. Could there possibly be something wrong in the middle?"
"What could be wrong? Itâs likely just two families having a dispute over the child. Just mediate it directly."
The police in S City felt this issue could become big or small. Plus, it involved the Mei Family there. Ultimately, they should settle it with a good mediation.
As soon as the police asked, Qiu Hualan heard the name Li Liang and realized who these two people were.
"Oh, itâs you! Your son single-handedly ruined my daughter, and now wants to ruin my grandson. I tell you, Hua Hua, this time, I wonât let you raise him. With a family like yours, itâs a wonder if you could raise a good person."
"What are you saying? You raised well? If you did, how could you raise such a shameless daughter? I tell you, nobody can take my grandson away." Li Liangâs mother sat in the hall, folding her arms, her head slightly raised, refusing to concede.
"There must be some misunderstanding in this. Letâs not cause a scene in the police station. How about we calm down our hearts first, and then talk through this bit by bit?" Mr. Li Liang recently got a grandson and wished to bring him up peacefully for the Li Family to continue the lineage and carry on their legacy.
He didnât want to see todayâs incident, so since arriving, he had been urging both women to calm down.
"Yes, yes, is there some misunderstanding here? We really are Ah Qingâs relatives, and Hua Hua, was cared for by his Grandma from birth until over a year old, only then returning to the Mei Family. We have photos of the child. You didnât know, when Ah Qing and Mei Langchi first got married, they lived apart across places. It was just Ah Qing, a woman, bringing up the child hard while also working. In the end, her mother couldnât watch any longer, came over to help care for Hua Hua. But since Hua Hua started walking a little over a year old, his Grandmaâs health wasnât good, had to return to her hometown to heal, and somehow, recently, the child didnât contact us. We thought she was busy. Today seeing the grandson, we thought the child went missing." Du Guangjun said with a smile to Mr. Li Liang.
Du Guangjun felt this matter couldnât be rushed. Knowing they were home, a thorough investigation to see whatâs really happening was necessary. The key was to contact Ah Qing. "Buddy, you just mentioned our Ah Qing went mad, whatâs going on about that?"
"This is completely true. We didnât lie. My wife worked as a maid for my grandson at the Mei Family. Your daughter suddenly went mad for unknown reasons. You really should go over and see for yourselves. Your daughter is in the psychiatric hospital now." Mr. Li Liang didnât know the relationship between Du Guangjun and Qiu Hualan, still thought they were married, with Ye Qing as their daughter.
"Is this true?" Du Guangjun was full of questions. Ye Qing never seemed like someone lacking common sense, how could she become like this? Turning, he looked at Qiu Hualan, the two exchanged a glance, Qiu Hualan was even more disbelieving her daughter had become like this.
The police verified Li Liangâs parentsâ information. They felt this wasnât a kidnapping case, but the specifics they indeed didnât dare investigate too deeply, simply did a basic mediation, and let them go home.
Li Liangâs mother and Qiu Hualan were very dissatisfied with the policeâs handling, knowing clearly it was just brushing them off. Now with the child, neither was willing to yield. What now?
