Upon hearing her, Liu Quanyan frowned so heavily he could have killed a mosquito. How could Liu Qing do something like this?

What he did was illegal!

"That piece of shit. How could he do something like this? Just wait till I beat his ass, that stupid little punk." Liu Quanyan rushed into the house, fuming.

Grandma Liu immediately followed. "Son, don't hit him. Those bastards already beat him up very badly…

Liu Quanyan rushed into the yard and saw Li Qing already had a bloody nose and a swollen face. Although Liu Quanyan felt a pain in his heart, he still went and grabbed the broom and hit him a few times with it.

"You piece of shit. You actually dared to kidnap someone? You are really getting worse and worse…"

Liu Qing didn't think it would end up this way. Why was it different from what he had expected?

He had thought he could definitely get two hundred taels from Liu Duo after he kidnapped Liu Ran. He would then let Liu Ran go after he received money. He never would've imagined it would end up like this.

At that moment, he still hadn't really digested what Liu Duo had said about waiting for the government officers to come the following day.

Grandma Liu pulled Liu Quanyan and wailed, "Stop hitting him… right now, we should be thinking about what to do. We can't let Duo go report this to the government officials and have them come and take Qing Er away!"

Liu Quanyan fell to the ground when he heard her. What should he do?

How could he know what to do?

Liu Duo and the others' position on this went without saying.

It was only now that Liu Duo's words finally hit Liu Qing. He pulled on Grandma Liu's arm and said, "Grandma, I don't want to go to prison. Save me, please. You have to stop Sister Duo from reporting it…"

Watching her eldest grandson getting beaten into such a state had made Grandma Liu feel extreme pain in her heart.

"Okay, okay, okay. Grandma will think of a way…"

On the other side, Liu Duo and the others arrived home. Just as Ye Mo sat down, he said to Liu Ran, "You little brat, why did you leave early and not wait for your sister? You caused this rotten situation and made people worry!"

Liu Ran knew he had done wrong. He lowered his head and said softly, "I did wrong."

He had only wanted to prevent Liu Duo from walking under the sun so much when she came to get him. They could have saved time if they had met each other on the road.

Ye Ling touched Liu Ran's head lightly and said gently, "Ran Er, Brother Mo was also worried about you. That's why he is speaking so harshly. Don't be afraid, and don't take it to heart. Understand?"

Liu Ran lifted his head to look at Ye Mo and nodded.

He knew that, although Ye Mo spoke harshly, he was concerned about him. After all, he was the one who had caused them to worry.

At that moment, Ye Xuan said with a smile, "Ran Er, forget about this incident, since it has passed. Don't take bad things to heart. Understand?"

"Okay." Liu Ran still nodded.

Ye Mo immediately looked at Ye Xuan when he heard his voice. Why had this guy followed them back? He might've forgotten he was here if he hadn't spoken.

"Ye Xuan, why are you still here? Why haven't you left?"

Ye Liu, however, smiled at him and said, "Little Xuan, we have to thank you for today. If you hadn't gone to the student's house to inquire, we might have still not found Liu Ran, even now."

He had undoubtedly helped them, and their family needed to thank him for his help.

"Helping goes without saying. Brother Liu, you are too courteous." Ye Xuan waved his hands.

Ye Ling's attitude towards him had also changed considerably. Ye Yang still had his usual, frozen face, and there was no noticeable change.

Liu Duo looked at Liu Ran and then looked at Ye Xuan. She said, "You should stay for a meal, as a thank you for your help."

She didn't like to look at him, and she didn't like him, but that was another matter. They still needed to thank him for this help.
