Chapter 255 Searching for Wei Shan
We definitely have to find our daughter, but where can we even begin?

There's no turning back now that the arrow has been released; at this point, the Wei family dares not announce Wei Shan's "disappearance" to the outside world.

If the Zhao family finds out that they used counterfeit goods to deceive people, the marriage between the two families will probably fall through!

The Wei family could only search secretly.

First, they searched all the homes of Wei Shan's classmates and friends, but couldn't find her.

Wei Guojun suggested that they go up the mountain to search.

Although there are many mountains in Lianhua Village, they are not very high, and villagers go up the mountains to cut firewood and hunt every day. Even if Wei Shan really has an accident on the mountain, she will be rescued by the villagers.

However, as a last resort, Wei Shuan still led his two sons to go up the mountain to look for the person.

Wei Qing volunteered to go with the father and his two sons.

However, before going out, she specially changed into Wei Shan's jacket and put on bright red lipstick.

Ever since Wei Shan received the lipstick from Wei Qing, she has been wearing it every time she goes out.

When Wei Shan first started wearing lipstick, the people in Lianhua Village gossiped about it, but they got used to it afterward.

Wei Qing applied lipstick and wore Wei Shan's jacket again, clearly intending to continue dressing up as Wei Shan.

Liu Sufeng stared at her with venomous eyes, "What are you trying to do by pretending to be Xiaoshan?!"

Wei Qing remained calm: "If Xiao Shan gets into any trouble, just pin it on me. I'll cover for her."

Hearing her say this, the three members of the Wei family felt that she had thought things through, so they all agreed that Wei Qing could go up the mountain with them under the identity of Wei Shan.

Once they reached the mountain, Wei Qing suggested they split up to search. She and Wei Lao Er (Wei Guoliang) would search from the west towards the north slope, while Wei Shuan and Wei Lao Da (Wei Guojun) would search from the south towards the east.

The three men agreed to her suggestion and then split up to carry out their plans.

Wei Qing and Wei Guoliang soon arrived at the north slope.

Looking at the cave entrance not far ahead, Wei Qing calmly said to Wei Guoliang, "Let's go inside the cave and take a look."

Looking at the cave, Wei Guoliang's simple face revealed nostalgia: "When I was a child, my older brother often took me and Xiaoshan to play in the cave."

Wei Qingying replied, "Yes, Second Brother, don't worry too much, Xiao Shan will be safe and sound."

As they spoke, the two arrived at the cave entrance.

Looking at the eerie cave entrance, which resembled the gaping maw of a wild beast, the events of that night flashed before Wei Qing's eyes, and her heart pounded like thunder.

"Xiaoshan! Xiaoshan!"

It was too dark inside the cave, so Wei Guoliang didn't go in; he just stood at the entrance and shouted into the cave.

After calling several times without any response, Wei Guoliang said to Wei Qing in disappointment, "Let's go, Xiao Shan isn't here."

"Ah."

Wei Qing calmly followed Wei Guoliang forward, unaware that her palms and back were covered in sweat.

Although bringing Wei Guoliang to the cave to look for people was too risky, we've searched today, and the Wei family won't be coming back anytime soon.

Looking back at the receding cave, Wei Qing revealed a sly smile of relief.

The Wei family searched for two whole days but still couldn't find Wei Shan.

With tomorrow being the day the Zhao family will be welcoming their bride, the Wei family members showed no joy whatsoever; instead, their faces were shrouded in gloom.

Liu Sufeng was especially sorrowful, and she seemed to have aged several years.

"Where has that brat gone? I haven't seen her for so many days."

The anger from the previous two days was gone from his tone; only deep worry and unease remained.

Clearly, she had realized that something had probably happened to her daughter.

She'd either been kidnapped or murdered. In a fit of anger, she stood up and punched Wei Shuan several times. "Your own daughter's gone missing, and you're still sitting here? Hurry up and think of something!"

Wei Shuan was pushed around like a wooden stake, his unshaven face full of helplessness and despair.

"Let's report it to the police. Only the police can help find Xiaoshan."

This proposal was agreed upon by the Wei brothers, Wei Guojun and Wei Guoliang.

Immediately, Wei Guojun called out to Wei Guoliang, "Let's go, let's go to the town police station to report the case now."

Wei Qing's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly said, "Big brother, second brother, don't be impulsive. Tomorrow is Xiao Shan and Jing Yang's wedding day. If the Zhao family finds out about Xiao Shan's disappearance, the wedding will be off."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Liu Sufeng slapped him across the face.

"Xiao Shan is in trouble, and you're still thinking about the wedding? What are you up to?!"

Wei Qing covered her burning face, not angry, but secretly mocking Liu Sufeng in her heart.

Taking a few slaps from you to save your daughter's life is worth it.

"Uncle, eldest brother, second brother, of course we can find Xiaoshan, but what if we can't? Have you thought about what we'll do then?"

The three members of the Wei family remained silent.

These past few days, they've been so frantic searching for their daughter/sister that they haven't had the mind to think about anything else.

"That day, Jingyang told me that after we got married, his family would transfer Xiaoshan's household registration to the city and arrange a job for her in the city."

Upon hearing Wei Qing's words, the Wei family felt like crying.

Having a city household registration and a job in the city was undoubtedly a tremendous blessing for their family.

But my daughter/sister is missing, how can I go through with the wedding?
"Uncle, elder brother, second brother, I have a way to have the best of both worlds. It won't delay the marriage with the Zhao family, and I can still find Xiao Shan."

Wei Shuan hurriedly asked, "What method?"

Wei Qing took a deep breath. "Tomorrow, I will marry Zhao Jingyang in place of Xiao Shan. As for the police, just say that I ran away from home and ask them to help find me."

"As for the Zhao family, I'll use the excuse that I'm menstruating to avoid consummating the marriage with Zhao Jingyang and drag it out until we get the marriage certificate. If Xiaoshan is found successfully, I'll switch back with her."

Bai Chunyan asked, "What if Xiaoshan can't be found?"

He had just finished asking the question when Liu Sufeng slapped him across the face.

"Shut up! If anything happens to Xiaoshan, it'll be because of your curse, you jinx!"

Bai Chunyan was filled with shame and indignation, but she dared not argue with Liu Sufeng at this time and could only swallow her grievances.

Wei Qing knew in her heart that Wei Shan would never come back in this lifetime, but she comforted the Wei family verbally:

"With the police involved, they will definitely be able to find Xiaoshan."

Seeing that the Wei family members remained silent, Wei Qing was not in a hurry.

Her plan was so meticulous and perfect that the Wei family would not disagree.

She knew all too well that when it came to personal gain, family ties had to take a backseat.

"No, I don't agree."

Liu Sufeng's angry shout broke the silence of the Wei family.

Wei Qing looked at Liu Sufen with disdain and pity.

In her view, Liu Sufeng's opposition was futile.

Once Wei Shan marries into the Zhao family, she will definitely provide great assistance to the two brothers, Wei Guojun and Wei Guoliang. Moreover, Wei Guoliang is still unmarried, and she believes that the three of them will make the right choice.

Just then, Wei Shuan said in a deep voice, "I don't agree with this either. We should have reported it to the police the day the Zhao family came to pay their respects. Maybe Xiao Shan would have been found by then."

At this point, Wei Shuan looked at his two sons, his eyes brimming with tears: "It's all our fault. We can't keep making the same mistake, or we'll really never find Xiao Shan again!"
