Xiao Shuju was speechless: "How could your uncle do anything to your family? Just sit quietly and wait, your mom will be released soon, and everything will be over. Your dad has to come here to apologize to us; that's when this matter will be resolved."
However, things were far from as simple as the third member of the Xiao Family imagined.
A woman's voice suddenly burst out over the phone, shouting, "Stop, Xiao Yebai!"
Isn't that the voice of Xiao Shuzhu, the fourth sibling? She really is hiding!
Xiao Shuju was so angry that she gritted her teeth and shook her fist at the receiver: "Fourth sister, you're not dead? Are you trying to scare Grandma to death?"
Xiao Shuzhu just cried on the other end of the phone: "I'm begging you, enough. If this continues, he's going to die—"
Xiao Shuju looked back at her brother in astonishment.
Xiao Yebai lightly furrowed his eyebrows and shook his head: "How could I hire someone to kill him?"
What was going on?
