Chapter 626 How Ruthless Is Your Father?

That night, Xiaocao and Xiaoguang lay on the soft, comfortable bed, their noses filled with a refreshing and pleasant scent.

It wasn't a hard, stiff bed frame, nor did it have an unpleasant odor.

Xiaoguang rolled around on the bed and couldn't help but exclaim, "Sister, this place is so nice!"

“Yes,” Xiaocao responded softly. “Xiaoguang, we must work hard so that Mom can also sleep in such a comfortable bed.”

Xiaoguang, who originally wanted to lie down and be a lazy bum, hesitated for a while and said, "Okay, I'll try my best to make sure Mom lives in a beautiful big house and sleeps in a bed as soft as a cake."

The siblings, filled with anticipation and hope for the future, slowly drifted off to sleep.

In the study on the second floor, Jiang Yuan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the deep night, her heart heavy.

"What will happen to Xiaocao and Xiaoguang in the future?" Fu Xiaoxiao sighed.

Jiang Yuan pursed her lips and said softly, "If the grandparents are capable of guardianship, then they should raise the child. If they are not, then the child can only be sent to a child welfare institution."

"That's so tragic." Fu Xiaoxiao felt heartbroken.

“Yes,” Jiang Yuan sighed as well. “I really don’t have the courage to tell Xiaocao the truth.”

"Could someone else tell Xiaocao?" Fu Xiaoxiao asked.

Jiang Yuan thought for a moment, "I'll talk to Si Heng about it."

The next day.

Jiang Yuan led Xiaocao and Xiaoguang back to Shigui Lane.

"Huh?" Xiaoguang saw that the house was cordoned off and the door was sealed off. His little face was full of curiosity. "What are these? Why are they surrounding our house?"

Xiaocao frowned. "It looks like it was posted by the police."

At this moment, He Lewei and Xiao Xu, both dressed in uniforms, came up behind the group.

"Are you the children of Yu Qiaoping and Yuan Jinyong?" Xiao Xu asked.

Xiaocao turned around, a look of confusion flashing in her eyes. "Officer, I am Yu Qiaoping's daughter, and this is my younger brother. Why is our house sealed off?"

Xiao Xu said softly, "Little friend, we have discovered a murder case here, and we need you and your brother to come with us to the police station to cooperate with the investigation."

"A murder?" Xiaocao frowned deeply, asking in confusion, "What do you mean? Has someone died?"

Xiaoguang stared wide-eyed in horror, "Has someone in our family died?"

Xiaocao's eyelashes trembled when she heard her brother's words. Her heart felt as if it had been suddenly gripped by an invisible hand, and she felt a faint pain.

Xiao Xu glanced at Jiang Yuan, his gaze falling on the little girl's suddenly pale face. He opened his mouth, but felt a sharp pain in his throat.

He Le took a deep breath and said slowly, "Let's go to the police station first."

Xiaocao, her eyes red, looked at Jiang Yuan for help, "Sister, what should we do?"

Jiang Yuan gently hugged her and said softly, "I'll stay with you."

The police car drove through the traffic. Xiaocao sat in the back seat, countless ominous thoughts flashing through her mind, her palms already damp with sweat.

The carriage was completely silent.

After an unknown amount of time, Xiaoguang suddenly spoke up, "Who died? Was it Dad or Mom?"

He Lewei tightened his grip on the steering wheel.

Xiao Xu clenched her hands and mustered her courage to answer him: "It's Yu Qiaoping."

It was Yu Qiaoping...

Xiaocao suddenly felt a buzzing in her head, and these simple words kept swirling and echoing in her mind.

"Mom..." she murmured in a trembling voice, "Mom..."

She seemed unable to say anything else, only repeatedly calling out "Mom." "Xiaocao," Jiang Yuan gently took her hand.

“Sister…” Xiaocao’s eyes were red and tears streamed down her cheeks as she choked out, “Mom is dead… I thought Mom had gone to a safe place, I never thought I would never see her again… How could this happen?”

Xiaoguang, who was a bit slow to react, also burst into tears, "Mommy is dead, my sister and I don't have a mommy anymore, waaaaah."

Jiang Yuan pulled Xiaoguang and Xiaocao into her arms.

A heavy atmosphere filled the carriage. Xiaoguang cried his heart out, while Xiaocao wept, her low sobs revealing her suppressed pain.

Jiang Yuan pursed her lips tightly, feeling as if a heavy stone was pressing on her heart.

She wanted to speak several times, but didn't know how to comfort her.

When the police car stopped, Xiaoguang was exhausted from crying. He hung his head, slumped his shoulders, and looked completely lifeless.

Before getting off the bus, the silent Xiaocao suddenly asked, "How did my mother die?"

Xiao Xu opened the passenger door and got out of the car. He then opened the door for Xiao Cao and whispered, "The police have apprehended the suspect. His name is Yuan Jinyong."

"Yuan Jinyong." Xiaocao murmured the name, her voice soft, but each word was enunciated heavily, and anger slowly condensed in her eyes.

Upon hearing this name, Xiaoguang's face instantly contorted with shock. "Dad? Did Dad kill Mom?"

Xiaocao clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms, and said angrily, "Yuan Jinyong is a devil!"

"How could Dad kill Mom?" Xiaoguang couldn't accept this reality. "I don't believe it!"

He knew his father often beat his mother, but he never imagined that one day his father would actually kill her...

"You don't believe me?" Xiaocao looked at her younger brother and asked hatefully, "Don't you know how cruel your father is?"

"But...but..." Xiaoguang said, his voice trembling with tears, "But that's our mother! How could Dad do that..."

Xiaocao said angrily, "Because your father has no humanity at all!"

"Xiaocao, Xiaoguang, shall we go inside first?" Xiao Xu asked softly.

Xiaocao nodded, her clenched fists remaining tightly closed.

The group entered the conference room.

Xiao Xu placed two bottles of her usual milk in front of the siblings.

Even looking at the milk, Xiaoguang, the little foodie, couldn't feel happy.

He sniffed and asked sadly, "Why did Daddy kill Mommy?"

Xiaocao glanced at him, then her gaze fell on Xiaoxu, her voice unusually calm, "Officer, will Yuan Jinyong be executed?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xu explained, "Xiao Cao, the specific judgment needs to be reviewed and decided by the People's Procuratorate."

Xiaocao nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

After a while, she asked again, "Then how did my mother die?"

Xiao Xu hesitated, unsure whether he should tell her or not. A look of hesitation flashed across his face.

But Xiaocao was clever. She quickly realized something and her expression became agitated. "Did Yuan Jinyong kill Mom and hide her in the refrigerator?"

Xiao Xu nodded slowly, "Yes."

"But the refrigerator is broken, isn't it?" Xiaoguang asked, looking puzzled.

Xiaocao glared at him, her tone revealing dissatisfaction: "Don't you understand yet?"

Xiaoguang frowned and asked blankly, "What?"

Xiaocao's face flushed with anger, and she said bitterly, "Your father must have killed your mother and hidden her in the refrigerator. He covered the refrigerator with tape to avoid being discovered and lied to us that the refrigerator was broken!"

Jiang Yuan and Xiao Xu exchanged a glance, and they saw surprise in each other's eyes.
