Reborn as the Villain's Wife, I Shine in 80s-Chapter 577 - 561 skyrocketing, bloodthirsty, weeping

"If I remember correctly, you still owe me money!" Tian Sangsang had no time for nonsense. Her pair of beautiful almond-shaped eyes were bloodthirsty and cold as she raised her hand and said, "Then tell me what you know, quickly!"

Thinking she was about to hit her again, Jin Zhi quickly dodged to the side. Intimidated by Tian’s formidable aura, she realized she never knew her boss could be so ruthless.

"I’ll talk, I’ll talk."

Her voice was trembling with tears: "This morning, I saw Luo Da on the street. He threatened me, asking if your house had children. I told him you had two kids at home. What he did afterward, I really don’t know! It has nothing to do with me!"

Jin Zhi was guilty and terrified, the first time she’d done something bad. Now, she deeply regretted it.

The looks from the crowd toward Jin Zhi immediately changed. Everyone knew what kind of person Luo Da was—a man who specialized in shady, despicable deeds. And yet she told him there were children in Tian’s house; wasn’t that practically inviting trouble?

Whether or not she was acting under threat remained unclear. Xu Zhengyang summoned a policeman to watch over Jin Zhi.

"Jin Zhi!" Tian Sangsang was livid, her eyes red with fury as she slapped Jin Zhi hard again, questioning her, "Is this Luo Da the same man involved in human trafficking, the man you refuse to marry?" This slap carried real force, leaving blood on Jin Zhi’s lip, even hurting Tian’s own hand.

Hearing Luo Da’s name from Jin Zhi’s mouth wasn’t the first time. The notorious villain, spoken of behind other people’s backs, was the one who had taken her son!

He was the man Jin Zhi refused to marry, yet she let him target her son! Back when Tian and Zhao Chun were even helping her—what was this? It was like inviting a wolf into their home!

Before Jin Zhi could answer, the villagers spoke up:

"Yeah, Luo Da is so arrogant in our village."

"We don’t dare provoke him."

"And no police ever come to arrest him..."

Their tones carried evident dissatisfaction.

Xu Zhengyang raised his hand sternly, "Everybody, quiet down. If Luo Da has indeed behaved unlawfully, we will definitely bring him to justice and provide a fair resolution to everyone."

Jin Yu had been silently observing and recognized Tian Sangsang as Zhou Yun. She eagerly said, "I’ll take you to find Luo Da. I know where he lives."

Xu Zhengyang nodded, "Thank you for the trouble."

Tian Sangsang temporarily suppressed her grief, forcing herself to stay composed as she followed them.

The group walked along the village’s narrow path to arrive at Luo Da’s house.

Luo Da’s courtyard gate was open, eerily quiet. The others didn’t dare enter, lingering outside to observe. Tian Sangsang and Xu Zhengyang stepped into the courtyard expressionlessly.

Approaching closer, they could hear subtle, intimate sounds coming from inside.

Tian Sangsang’s expression changed; she hadn’t heard the cry of a baby. Disappointment briefly flashed across her face.

"Is anyone there?" Xu Zhengyang knocked on the door.

No response—just those ambiguous noises.

Xu Zhengyang pushed at the door; it was locked. He knocked a few more times, debating whether to kick it open.

Before he could, the door finally opened after a while, accompanied by a gruff, cursing voice: "Who the hell is it? Didn’t you hear I’m enjoying myself, you ****!" Then came a slew of profanities.

Xu Zhengyang sneered sarcastically, stepping back slightly and announcing coldly, "Police."

Wearing only a pair of briefs, Luo Da froze upon hearing the word "police," a chill running through him.

"Officer, uh, let me go grab some clothes inside first."

As he turned to leave, Tian Sangsang’s eyes suddenly narrowed sharply. This figure—he was undoubtedly the child trafficker she’d seen earlier that morning! "Stop!"

She quickly stepped forward as Luo Da turned around.

Tian Sangsang lifted her leg, kicking him with all her might. At that moment, she wished she could drink his blood and eat his flesh!

"Ah!" Screams erupted outside.

The women clutched their faces and shrieked!

The men, too, involuntarily shouted!

Xu Zhengyang’s heart sank in shock! The sight pierced his heart like a knife!

Luo Da, clutching his briefs, glared at Tian Sangsang with a mix of annoyance and hatred.

His face contorted in pain as he roared, "You crazy woman! Who the hell are you? Picking a fight, huh?!"

He lunged at her menacingly, but before he could reach Tian, Xu Zhengyang restrained him.

Twisting Luo Da’s arms behind his back, Xu Zhengyang said icily, "Well, now you don’t need to put your clothes on."

"Mrs. Jiang, was this the man you saw earlier?"

Tian Sangsang nodded, starting to search Luo Da’s house for Little Tangyuan. The woman on the bed screamed in fright, covering herself with the blanket and staring at Tian Sangsang. Tian found the noise irritating and snapped, "Shut up!"

Tian searched the bed, under the bed, in the corners, the wardrobe, and the boxes but found no trace of Little Tangyuan.

Her eyes turned even redder as she exited the room, standing before Luo Da.

"Luo Da, right? Where did you hide my son?"

Luo Da stiffened, his sinister gaze locking onto her—the shopkeeper from this morning!

"Your son? What are you talking about!"

"You crazy woman! Barging into my house, kicking me where it hurts! You’ll pay for this! Who the hell saw your kid? If your son’s missing, go find his dad! Why ask me?!"

Xu Zhengyang jammed his knee into Luo Da’s back. "Oh yeah? Tough guy, huh? Well, now I’m your dad!"

Luo Da protested, "I didn’t do anything! What gives you the right to arrest me?!"

Damn it! Tian Sangsang kicked him in the chest with ferocity this time.

In a cold voice, she demanded, "I asked you—where is my son?!"

Luo Da let out another wretched scream, barely finishing before his face was met with a slap. His cheek turned red and swollen, almost crooked. The snapping sound of the slap echoed, making everyone around flinch involuntarily.

Though beautiful and stylish in appearance, Tian’s aggression as she hit him was striking and relentless! Everyone immediately sympathized; if it were their child stolen, they’d grab a knife and battle to the death.

Xu Zhengyang watched Tian Sangsang hit him, knowing a few strikes were fine as long as she didn’t kill him. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"Not talking, huh?" Tian Sangsang smirked coldly, pulling a dagger out of her coat pocket. "How about I just cut it off and feed it to the dogs?"

She knelt, reaching for Luo Da’s briefs.

Luo Da struggled, yelling in panic, kicking frantically as the gleaming blade drew closer. Even he, a seasoned criminal, felt terrified. Seeing the murderous hatred in her eyes, he relented, "Your son’s not here!"

Tian Sangsang’s hand didn’t stop. "I said give me something useful!" she snapped.

On the verge of wetting himself, Luo Da sputtered, "This morning, I stole your son, then handed him over to Old Liu. Old Liu took your son... Where he went, I don’t know!"

"I only know they’re headed to Shandong!"

Tian Sangsang’s dagger fell to the ground with a clang. After all her rage, the realization struck—her son had already been moved elsewhere. She felt an overwhelming emptiness in her limbs, her aching heart pounding uncontrollably. Covering her face, she broke down in sobs, crying heart-wrenchingly.

She had lost Tang Yuan’er.

Interrogating Luo Da revealed this wasn’t his first child abduction. Every time, he handed them over to that Old Liu in exchange for payment. It appeared Old Liu was the ringleader, a human trafficker. This time, their destination was a rural area in Shandong, with the transaction set for a small motel in the city.

Now, all they could do was wait for updates from Ye Jiang’s side.

And head to the motel to search for leads.
