Chapter 622 Yu Qiaoping is dead

Xiao Moyan said that Yuan Jinyong would smash the refrigerator when he was drunk.

He smashed things while cursing Yu Qiaoping.

Jiang Yuan thought about it carefully and realized that something seemed very wrong.

Although Xiaocao didn't know why Jiang Yuan suddenly brought this up, she still answered cooperatively, "It's in the kitchen, but the refrigerator is broken."

Jiang Yuan frowned and exchanged a glance with Si Heng.

The two walked toward the kitchen at the same time and saw the freezer sealed with tape. A sense of foreboding instantly crept into their hearts.

"Why did you seal the refrigerator like that?" Jiang Yuan asked.

Xiaocao replied, "Uncle said it was broken and he was afraid we would forget to open it, so he sealed it up."

Jiang Yuan nodded slightly and forced a smile: "Oh, I see. Do you remember when the refrigerator broke down?"

“It seems so…” Xiaocao thought carefully, “The refrigerator also broke down the day Mom went missing.”

Upon hearing this answer, Jiang Yuan's lips instantly pressed into a straight line, and her heart sank heavily.

She looked at Si Heng, her eyes filled with solemnity.

Si Heng clenched his fists tightly at his sides, then relaxed them after a few seconds, and said softly, "I'll try to see if I can fix it."

Xiaocao's eyes lit up with excitement, and she asked in surprise, "Really? Brother, you can fix refrigerators?"

Si Heng met the smile on the little girl's face, his gaze darkened slightly, and his breathing became heavy. "I'll give it a try."

"Okay!" Xiaocao responded loudly, her heart filled with anticipation.

If the refrigerator can be repaired, then we won't have to beg the vegetable and meat vendors to sell us even a little bit of vegetables and meat!

Si Heng said softly, "Could you come downstairs and buy me a bottle of water? I'm a little thirsty."

"Okay," Jiang Yuan readily agreed. "Xiaocao, Xiaoguang, can you take me to the convenience store to buy some water?"

Xiaocao and Xiaoguang nodded simultaneously, "Okay!"

Jiang Yuan led her brother and sister downstairs.

Si Heng checked it, followed the refrigerator's power cord to the socket, and placed his hand on the outside of the refrigerator. He quickly determined that the refrigerator was operating normally.

His eyes suddenly sharpened, and his slender fingers tore open the tape wrapped around the refrigerator.

After peeling off the last layer of tape, Si Heng closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and opened the freezer door.

A chill swept over him as his gaze settled on the woman's pale, desperate face.

Si Heng's dark pupils suddenly contracted. After a brief moment of stunned silence, he took out his phone, snapped a photo, and dialed Meng Xiaokai's number.

Jiang Yuan was buying water at a convenience store with Xiao Cao and Xiao Guang when her phone suddenly rang.

The caller ID showed Si Heng.

Jiang Yuan answered the phone, and before she could speak, a man's slightly heavy voice came through the receiver.

"Yu Qiaoping has been found."

Jiang Yuan opened her mouth, then subconsciously looked at Xiaocao and Xiaoguang.

Xiaocao met her gaze and asked curiously, "Sister, did brother fix the refrigerator?"

Jiang Yuanyu's eyelashes trembled slightly. She pursed her lips and uttered two words with difficulty from her throat: "Not yet."

"It's definitely going to be difficult." Xiaocao pouted.

Xiaoguang's little face was filled with admiration. "Brother is so amazing. He can be a policeman and catch bad guys, and he can even fix refrigerators."

Jiang Yuan raised her hand and gently touched his head, her heart feeling as if something was blocking it, a dense sadness surging like a tide.

Si Heng's deep voice came through the receiver again, "Jiang Yuan, take Xiao Cao and Xiao Guang somewhere else first." "Okay, I understand," Jiang Yuan replied softly.

After hanging up the phone, she said to the siblings, "My brother needs some other tools and wants me to go to the house to get them for him. Would you two come with me?"

"Okay," Xiaocao said. "Should we go back and get the pomegranates?"

"No need for now." Jiang Yuan shook her head. "You can take it after the refrigerator is fixed. There's no rush."

"Okay." Xiaocao nodded obediently.

"Let's go then." Jiang Yuan led the siblings into her car and fastened their seatbelts.

Xiaoguang sat in the back seat, a look of surprise on his face. "Sister, why did you change cars again?"

Xiaocao scolded her younger brother in a low voice: "Why do you ask so many questions!"

Jiang Yuan looked at him through the rearview mirror and explained, "That SUV just now belonged to my brother, and this sedan is mine."

"I see." Xiaoguang nodded in understanding. "Sister, you and brother are amazing!"

Jiang Yuan: "So you must study hard and learn diligently, okay? Only then will you have the opportunity to become powerful in the future."

Xiaocao slightly curled the corners of her lips, her tone revealing a hint of joy, "Sister, I really enjoy reading."

"Xiaocao is great, that's how it should be." Jiang Yuan typed a message on WeChat and sent it to Deng Rui, then placed her phone on the passenger seat. "We're ready to go."

As the car drove out of Shigui Lane, a police car came towards it.

Xiaoguang pressed his face against the car window, pointing in amazement at the police car speeding past. "That's a police car! How cool!"

Xiaocao peeked out, but showed no interest, and calmly looked away.

Jiang Yuan pursed her lips and remained silent.

She knew that the police car was on its way to Xiaocao and Xiaoguang's house.

As the car drove along the familiar street, Xiaoguang excitedly said, "My dad works in that hardware factory up ahead."

"Does your dad work at a hardware factory?" Jiang Yuan picked up her phone, located the current road segment, and sent the location to the WeChat group.

“Yes.” Xiaoguang held a bottle of yogurt reluctantly, staring at it as he spoke. “My dad said he’ll teach me how to make this when I grow up, so I don’t have to go to school.”

Upon hearing this, Xiaocao frowned and retorted in a muffled voice, "It would be terrible if you became like your father in the future."

"Why?" Xiaoguang asked, puzzled.

Xiaocao: "Your father is never serious about his work, loves to gamble, and always beats people when he's drunk. He's no good at all."

Xiaoguang frowned, thought about it seriously, and said, "Then forget it, I won't learn hardware from Dad."

"You must read books, read ten thousand books."

"Ten thousand books? That's so many! My eyes will go blind..."

Jiang Yuan listened to the siblings' back-and-forth conversation, but there was no smile on her face, and she couldn't feel at ease at all.

Yu Qiaoping is dead.

He was killed by Yuan Jinyong.

Yuan Jinyong is Xiaoguang's father. If Xiaocao knew the truth, how would she view this matter?

"I saw Dad!" Xiaoguang shouted excitedly. "Sister, look, that guy with the dyed yellow hair is my dad!"

Jiang Yuan slowed down the car and rolled down the window to look at the hardware factory on the street.

There were five shops in total, and several men were working with tools in their hands.

Jiang Yuan's gaze locked onto one of the figures. The man had yellowish hair and a noticeable scar on his nose.
