Little One Tears the Villain’s Script

I Brought You the Person (1)

“Ye, yes, so it’s like this…” Hong Xingguo was particularly nervous and stammered, “I went to City B and saw a missing person poster. It said that your family has lost a child, and you will reward anyone who could find her.”

“I, I have a clue… I don’t know if you want it? There is a child who looks very much like that mother. I also saw her when she was still a baby. I think it must be her.”

“Remember to give me money, or I won’t tell you.”

Liang Yuanqing had a gloomy face. After a while, his lips formed a devious smile, but he spoke softly on the phone. His first question wasn’t about the child’s whereabouts, but, “You’ve only called my number, right?”

There were a total of three phone numbers posted on the missing person poster.

“Just you, just you. Why? You can’t handle it?” Hong Xingguo began to panic.

If he couldn’t handle it, didn’t that mean that he wouldn’t get the money?”

“No, I can handle it. Tell me about the matter first.” Liang Yuanqing breathed a sigh of relief.

Their family did lose a child.

It was a girl.

The missing person poster had been posted for ten years, and it had been so long that almost everyone had forgotten about it.

In the beginning, everyday there would be someone who called to give clues, but they were all just fishing in troubled waters, aiming for the rewards. Liang Yuanqing was fed up with receiving those calls that he almost wanted to change his number, but he still held back.

For his in-laws’ family, the money was not a big problem, it was no different than sprinkling water.

After searching for ten years without result, the people from his in-laws’ family almost gave up hope.

That was what he felt too.

Unexpectedly, this trip back home gave him such a big surprise.

“Are you sure?” Liang Yuanqing asked on the phone.

“I’m sure, I’m sure. Oh, that kid is very pretty, really good-looking. If you don’t believe me, just go and you will see. The key point is, this child was abducted. Her origins are unknown, maybe she was kidnapped from your house!”

Liang Yuanqing was already calculating in his mind.

After dismissing Hong Xingguo, Liang Yuanqing began to think.

Jiang Xiaoman? Liang Yuanqing realized that he wasn’t too surprised because her facial features were really similar to his wife’s.

He had thought about it before, but he felt that the world was so big. It was impossible for him to meet her in this small place, so he didn’t take it seriously. Unexpectedly, the clues came knocking to his door by themselves.

When that child was born, his in-laws were very happy and liked the child very much.

Even though she was just born, even though she was a girl, his in-laws had already planned to raise her, and even planned to leave all their property to her.

He was just a son-in-law, an outsider, so he couldn’t get anything.

Even the child’s surname followed his in-laws; she couldn’t even be considered his child.

After Liang Yuanqing realized this, his heart became angry.

He was unwilling to accept such a result.

In that era, being a college student was very valuable, but for the sake of his in-laws’ money, he gave up his dignity and future and was taken in as a son-in-law by the bride’s family.

In the end, he just became an empty shell with a name, ‘making a wedding dress for someone else’ and paving the way for a newborn baby.

Dream on!

Since she had been lost for so many years, there was no need for her to be found anymore.

He wouldn’t give Jiang Xiaoman this opportunity.

Liang Yuanqing’s expression was gloomy, and after thinking for a while, he called his assistant.

The assistant was his aide and bodyguard, someone who he trained himself. It was said that he had an underworld background, and was particularly cold and ruthless.

Liang Yuanqing didn’t care about his past. On the contrary, he felt that this kind of person could handle some ugly things. Plus, he also had a jiang hu¹ sense of loyalty; if you gave him a small favor, he would stand up for him with all his heart. Using him was very effective.

He had been with Liang Yuanqing for so many years, seen a lot of things that Liang Yuanqing did, and dealt with a lot of troubles for him.

Liang Yuanqing gave out his order, “Tomorrow, bring Jiang Xiaoman to see me.”

“Tomorrow? Jiang Xiaoman?” The assistant was stunned for a while and asked, “Is that Jiang Xing’s niece? What is Boss looking for her for?”

If he remembered correctly, wasn’t she still a little child?

“Don’t ask about things you shouldn’t ask. After spending so many years with me, don’t you understand the rules?” Liang Yuanqing’s heart was restless, so his tone became harsher. He repeatedly emphasized, “Remember, you must keep a low profile. It’s best if no one knew that I was looking for her.”

Liang Yuanqing was really worried.

If people from his in-laws’ family knew that he had seen Jiang Xiaoman in private but did not report it, it would be difficult for him to explain himself in the future.

He had to be more cautious.

The less people that knew about this matter, the better. Jiang Xing didn’t need to know, and his in-laws’ family didn’t need to know either. He only needed to confirm in private whether Jiang Xiaoman was the child from back then.

After Liang Yuanqing gave the orders, his assistant did not immediately accede.

He was hesitant.

Liang Yuanqing frowned and asked sternly, “What? Can’t you do such a simple thing? Do I pay you so much just to let you do nothing but eat rice?”

“But Boss… I, I have already washed my hands in the golden basin².” The assistant said.

Washed his hands in a golden basin? Why would he say that at this time?’

Liang Yuanqing frowned again, and showed the temperament of a boss as he continued sternly, “I don’t care whether you resign or whatever. Just do this first, then we’ll talk about other things. Remember, you mustn’t let anyone else know!”

“Okay, Boss.”

It was always reassuring when this assistant handled a matter.

Liang Yuanqing said that it had to be tomorrow, so it wouldn’t be delayed for even another day.

He was ready to meet Jiang Xiaoman, the girl who caused his headache.

Unexpectedly, after he waited for a long time the next day, he did not see Jiang Xiaoman coming. He only got a phone call from his assistant.
