However, would Master Xiao be willing to listen to anything? He was scared out of his wits at the very thought that his sisters might end up in prison. They were the hope of their family, nothing could happen to them!
With that thought in his heart, he lunged at Yu Dong. He screamed and yelled while trying to pull her back, it was as if he would rather cling onto her clothes or legs or her body —as long as he could stop her from going to yamen, he was willing to do it!
Yu Dong glanced at the mer coldly. He was lucky that she did not hit mers or else he would be beaten up by her by now. He was selfish and forceful for all the damned reasons.
“Let’s go,” ignoring the yelling mer, she turned on her feet and walked away. She was not going to waste her time with him anymore.
Yu Jiao Yu glared at Master Xiao with red-rimmed eyes, he hated this mer so much that he wished he could kill him.
He embarrassed his son earlier by calling him fox and now his sister went ahead and kidnapped his son, who knows what Second Sister Xiao was planning to do with his son?
He spat at Master Xiao before turning on his feet and chasing after Yu Dong as well. She was right, the kidnapper wanted something from Madam Kong thus she would do nothing to her children.
The ones who were in danger were Li Cui and Yu Mai. Both of them were beautiful mers and Yu Jiao Yu didn’t think that the kidnappers took them away to play with them.
They must be planning to sell them!
Yu Le also hated Master Xiao very much but at that moment he didn’t quibble with him as looking for the children was more important.
He ushered the five mer sons of his brother and asked them to get on the carriage while coaxing them as they were crying for the safety of their elder brother.
“It’s alright, we will find them,” said Yu Le with a convincing expression on his face but there was a slight edge to his voice. “Your sister Dong is really well connected, we will get those kidnappers in no time, so stop crying alright?”
“But —brother is..”
“It’s okay,” Yu Jiao Yu picked up his third son and patted him on the back. Now he was regretting living in the Kong inn, that mer was a troublemaker. A vicious mer who wouldn’t even bat an eye if his daughters were to die as he cared too much about his sisters.
What was the point of expecting anything from him? A mer like that would only ruin his family.
Of course, Yu Jiao Yu didn’t believe in cutting off his family for the sake of his wife but he would always choose his children over anyone.
Master Xiao on the other hand was the kind of mer who didn’t even learn such a simple thing.
“Drag him back and lock him up in the courtyard,” Madam Kong ordered to the mammy who had come with her. “Don’t let him contact his sisters no matter what. I want to see just how low these people can go.”
“Madam! Madam! You cannot do this! You can’t!” Master Xiao screamed as he tried to free himself from Mammy Ye. He wanted to tell his sisters to run in case they were caught.
Of course, even now he didn’t believe that his sisters were the ones who took his daughters away. He still firmly believed that it was done by Yu Dong and she was pushing his sisters into a pit.
Madam Kong however did not pay attention to him, instead she turned to look at Guo Zian. She said to him, “Go and tell Daddy what his good nephew has done. I cannot stay with this mer another day!”
It was one thing that the Xiao family was filled with leeches but the fact that they pulled such a despicable tactic was enough to make Madam Kong hate them with all her heart.
If not for the fact that Master Xiao had given her two daughters she would have killed this mer. Even if she had been taken away to prison, Madam Kong would not have regretted it.
Guo Zian nodded. He knew this day would come. Master Xiao had always been more inclined towards his maternal family to the point where he had simply stopped caring for his wife and daughters.
A mer who could not even care for his wife and daughters — he was bound to be divorced sooner or later.
Anyway, he could only sigh as there was nothing he could do. He had told and advised Master Xiao to learn from his mistakes countless times but the mer was like a stubborn bull. No matter what he said, that mer just didn’t listen to what he was telling him.
Since that was the case, what could he do?
On the other side, after the kidnappers brought Yu Mai and the others to an abandoned shack they were placed inside while the kidnappers went outside.
There were only four children lying on the floor of the shack.
The windows were boarded up and not even a single ray of light could enter the shack, Yu Mai who woke up after the drug in his body disappeared peered around the shack.
He looked around and his expression turned terrified. He didn’t like dark places at all!
When he was sold off by his sister, the bad restaurant owner would lock them up in the storage room every time they made a mistake. Yu Mai didn’t like darkness at all. It made him scared.
“Mai?” A voice softly called for him and Yu Mai turned to look at Kong Li who was sitting behind him. She was swaying feebly as she looked around the room, “You are Mai right?”
“Yeah, Mai is here,” Yu Mai said as his heart started to feel a bit calm when he heard Kong Li’s voice.
“Where—where are we?”
