Chapter 1308: Chapter 1358: The Crazy Ma Dongxiang
"Shanshan, there’s definitely something wrong with this. I need to think it through. You drive; don’t worry about me."
Li Yifei pondered over the issue, spoke briefly to Xu Shanshan, and then closed his eyes.
Seeing him calm down, Xu Shanshan didn’t say anything more and drove directly toward Mile City. By nine o’clock, both Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan had returned home.
On the way, Xu Shanshan had already informed their family about the situation, and everyone was anxiously awaiting their return.
As Li Yifei stepped out of the car in his current condition, everyone gasped and surrounded him immediately. freēnovelkiss.com
Li Yifei raised his hand and said, "It’s fine now. I’m okay. I’ll wash up first, then talk to you all."
Su Mengxin quickly said, "I’ll go with you."
Xu Yingying also exclaimed anxiously, "I’ll go too."
Everyone else also wanted to look after Li Yifei, but seeing Su Mengxin and Xu Yingying take the lead, they decided not to follow.
Helping Li Yifei remove his tattered clothes, they found no external injuries on him. This finally let both women sigh in relief. Li Yifei said, "Don’t worry, this blood is probably from that child. I’m fine, just shaken by the blast."
Mentioning the child, Su Mengxin’s lips twitched slightly as she said, "Husband, do you think that kid isn’t really our son?"
Li Yifei nodded and said, "Most likely not. I’ve spotted lots of inconsistencies."
Xu Yingying had already turned on the showerhead and was rinsing Li Yifei off. He continued, "First, our son has been missing for three months. If this was Ma Ningsiang and her associates’ doing, they wouldn’t have had the patience to wait three months to come seek revenge."
Su Mengxin nodded and said, "Exactly. If it were merely for revenge, there’d be no need to delay for three months. Based on this alone, there’s a 99% chance that kid is fake."
Li Yifei went on, "To evade our pursuit at the time, to fool so many people and abduct our son – that’s not something ordinary people could pull off. If the Song Family and Sunx Family had joined forces, then yes, it’s possible. But this was supposedly done by just Ma Dongxiang and Song Ziqiao? They simply don’t have the capability."
"Third, their methods this time... Initially, I thought the other party belonged to that extraordinarily powerful organization. The call originating from the provincial capital seemed like misdirection. But it was actually made from there, and their arrangements along the way were blatantly clumsy. If I hadn’t overthought things, I’d have found their location much earlier. With that kind of sloppy capability, how could they abduct our son?"
Su Mengxin finally exhaled deeply and said, "You’re absolutely right. We can now be certain that child isn’t our son."
Xu Yingying quickly agreed, "Yes, yes. That Ma Ningsiang is definitely exploiting our son’s disappearance to try to kill you. At the very least, she wants you to feel the agony of losing a child. This woman is truly venomous."
After showering, Li Yifei changed into clean clothes and reappeared before everyone. Though he was still dealing with internal injuries, he looked much better on the surface.
"I’ll go interrogate Ma Dongxiang."
As soon as Li Yifei said this, everyone immediately followed him. They were all eager to finally get to the bottom of this.
Down in the basement of the front courtyard, Ma Dongxiang sat slumped in a corner against the wall. Her clothes were in tatters, her face marked with bloodstains—traces left by Sophia. Her expression was vacant, her gaze unfocused.
However, the moment the door opened, Ma Dongxiang’s eyes sharpened. Upon seeing Li Yifei, her face lit up with excitement as she let out an eerie cackle, "Ah, you’re here! So, how does it feel to have your son blown to bits? Watching your own son... BOOM! Blasted into pieces, guts and intestines flying everywhere—how does it feel, hmm?"
Her words sent chills down the spines of the women who followed Li Yifei inside. Just imagining such a scene made their stomachs churn.
Li Yifei snorted coldly, stepped toward her, and said, "You’re saying that was my son. Then tell me, how did you manage to get him?"
Ma Dongxiang sneered and said, "That’s none of your business."
"Is that so? I find it surprising that you waited three whole months to come after me for revenge."
Ma Dongxiang laughed wickedly and said, "You think I didn’t want to act sooner? Hah. But I only got my hands on your son a few days ago."
"A few days ago?" Li Yifei’s face darkened. "What do you mean, a few days ago?"
"Haha... You see, Li Yifei, you’ve made enemies all over the world. So many people want you dead. Just when I was at a loss for how to strike back, someone came to me a few days ago and delivered a child into my hands, claiming it was your son. Hah! I thought I was dreaming. But when I saw the birthmark under his arm, I knew. Whether or not you believe he was yours doesn’t matter. What I know is—your son is dead. Just like mine, killed by someone else. Gahaha..."
Su Mengxin’s expression froze. Their earlier reasoning had been sound—Ma Dongxiang didn’t have the capability to kidnap their son. But if someone who *did* have that capability handed the boy over to her, then it all became plausible. Everything fell into place.
Li Yifei’s heart sank, and he said gravely, "Who handed him to you?"
"Want to know?" Ma Dongxiang’s eyes gleamed with malicious amusement as she looked at Li Yifei.
Lin Qiong shouted, "Answer him!"
"Haha, you want answers? Well, I won’t tell you. Let it eat at you. Haha!"
The group seethed with anger, their faces dark with fury at Ma Dongxiang’s smug defiance. Li Yifei snorted coldly and said, "We’ll see how tough you really are. Guards!"
Two burly men entered the room.
Li Yifei said in a low, determined voice, "Make her spill everything she knows."
"Boss! Leave it to us. We’ll get every last word out of her."
Li Yifei led the others out of the basement—it wasn’t a place where they should remain. After they emerged, the group fell into silence. What Ma Dongxiang had said weighed heavily on everyone’s minds, rekindling their anxiety.
"Husband... That woman..." Michelle’s normally rosy cheeks had turned pale. She didn’t know what to say.
Li Yifei lit a cigarette and said calmly, "Don’t let her words get to you. She knows she’s as good as dead and wants to drag us down with her. That’s why she’s spouting nonsense to upset us."
Su Yiyi hesitated and said, "I know that’s logical, but... her words still shake me."
Lin Qiong shook her head and said, "That’s the terrifying thing about women. Some, when consumed by hate, can be even more vicious than men. I’ve encountered cases where women falsely accused someone of the worst crimes just to ruin them—refusing to stop until they got what they wanted."
Li Yifei cut in, "Enough. Some things aren’t suited for you all to know."
They hesitated, reluctant to leave. The family dearly wanted answers—after three months of missing their child, the pain had dulled slightly. But now, with renewed leads, the stakes felt unbearably high. They desperately wanted to believe the child was an imposter—that their son might still be alive. Yet, unless Ma Dongxiang confirmed it, their hearts would remain restless.
Li Yifei said more firmly, "I will use certain methods you shouldn’t witness. Please, do as I say."
"Husband... don’t resort to... killing." Though reluctant, they reluctantly left. Lin Qiong lingered briefly, as her role as a police officer warred with her emotions. It was clear that locking someone up like this was illegal—it should have been handed over to the authorities. Yet with the family’s child at stake, she reluctantly swallowed her objections. However, killing Ma Dongxiang was a line she couldn’t accept.
Li Yifei nodded solemnly and said, "Don’t worry. Whatever the outcome, I won’t kill her."
"Thank you!" Lin Qiong offered a grateful nod before following the others out.
Li Yifei reentered the basement. The two interrogation experts were already at work, inflicting pain on Ma Dongxiang. She was in terrible shape, screaming in agony. Yet upon seeing Li Yifei, she mustered enough strength to scream hoarsely, "Li Yifei! If you’ve got the guts, just kill me!"
Li Yifei snorted, "Killing you would be too easy. I’ll make you wish you were dead."
Fear flickered across Ma Dongxiang’s face but was quickly replaced by a twisted, defiant sneer. "Fine! Do your worst. If I back down, I’m yours! Hah, the thought of your son dying in front of your eyes—blown to such tiny pieces—fills me with so much joy! Do what you will. I’ll laugh through it all."
Li Yifei hadn’t expected someone like Ma Dongxiang—a woman who had lived in comfort her entire life—to possess such a steely resolve. Fueled by hatred, her will was terrifyingly unyielding. He let out a cold snort and said, "Oh, you laugh now, but have you considered what your actions will mean for your family? Your Sunx Family... your husband... they’ll pay a price they cannot bear."
"Hah! Those useless fools. If they can’t handle you, they deserve to be destroyed! Li Yifei, what your family couldn’t accomplish, I’ve done. Haha, your son is dead—blown to pieces right in front of you! HAHAHA!"
Ma Dongxiang’s manic laughter filled the basement. Her sheer madness sent a chill down even Li Yifei’s spine.
