“This ungrateful child is driving me crazy!”
Back in the sedan, Xie Bingyan was fuming with anger.
Xu Deming’s eyes also simmered with fury.
Xu Mo’s disrespectful words, even addressing them by their names, truly infuriated Xu Deming.
This was a severe challenge to Xu Deming’s authority.
“Xu Deming, this son of yours is a lost cause, completely useless! He has degenerated into a worthless person!” Xie Bingyan yelled loudly. “Unfaithful, unjust, and unfilial, he dares to wield a knife. He has become a thorough traitor!”
Xu Deming remained silent, seething with anger internally.
“I will cut off his living expenses and make him come back begging to me! He thinks he can fly solo now that he’s grown wings! I’ll show him that it’s absolutely impossible!” Xie Bingyan raged.
Upon hearing this, Xu Deming suddenly became calm and sneered, “Cut off his living expenses? His monthly allowance of five hundred yuan?”
Xie Bingyan was furious. “I won’t give him a single cent! Let’s see where he ends up! How dare he behave so rebelliously! Not only will I cut off his allowance, but if he doesn’t admit his mistakes, I won’t even allow him to eat! I’ll cancel his bus pass, cut off all his supplies. I will make it crystal clear to him that once he leaves our Xu family, he is nothing!”
As she spoke, Xie Bingyan gritted her teeth even more fiercely. “I want to see how he’ll come back begging me then!”
Sitting in the back of the sedan, Xu Wanting felt a sense of sadness in her heart.
Perhaps Xie Bingyan was unaware that Xu Mo had already earned tens of thousands of yuan in the past few days, enough to sustain him for a long time.
“Eldest, immediately call the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth siblings. Tell them not to give Xu Mo any money! I want to see how he manages without money out there!” Xie Bingyan turned back angrily.
“Mom! We have never given Xu Mo any money! The third, fourth, fifth, and sixth siblings all dislike Xu Mo and wouldn’t give him any money!” Xu Wanting spoke up.
“Have never given him money? Even better!” Xie Bingyan seemed to feel some relief and then continued angrily, “If they won’t give him money, then where did his living expenses come from these days? He must have stolen things from the house! Immediately call Zhao Ma and Uncle Li back home, ask if anything is missing! If something is indeed missing, he will pay for it!”
Xu Wanting sniffled, “Mom, what will you do if Xu Mo really took things from the house?”
“What will I do? I’ll make him pay for it!” Xie Bingyan gritted her teeth. “This ungrateful child, he’s driving me crazy! Lacks manners, refuses discipline. If we don’t discipline him now, he’ll completely rebel! This time, I will make sure he submits!”
Hearing this, Xu Wanting felt a chill in her heart, unsure whether to call Zhao Ma and Uncle Li.
“Lawless! Absolutely lawless! I’m calling Xiao Li right away!” Xie Bingyan grew angrier as she spoke, taking out her phone and dialing a number. “Hello, Xiao Li, cut off Xu Mo’s living expenses for me. I won’t give him a single cent. Let’s see how he manages!”
“Madam, Xu Mo only receives five hundred yuan monthly. Should I stop it?” Xiao Li asked in surprise.
“What nonsense are you talking about? I said stop it completely!” Xie Bingyan snapped angrily.
“Yes, Madam!” Xiao Li responded promptly.
Xie Bingyan, still not satisfied, raged, “Go back home immediately! I want Zhao Ma and Uncle Li to inspect the house and see what exactly has gone missing! I refuse to believe I can’t handle him!”
“Yes!”
The driver acknowledged and swiftly headed back to the Xu family villa.
“Zhao Ma, Uncle Li, search each room immediately. Find out how much Xu Mo has taken. Check how much money he has on his card! I want all his funds frozen!” Xie Bingyan ordered angrily.
“Yes!”
Although surprised by Xie Bingyan’s actions, Zhao Ma and Uncle Li had no choice but to search the house.
“Second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth siblings, do you know how much he has stolen?” Xie Bingyan turned to Xu Wanting and inquired.
Xu Wanting sighed, “In the past, there were mentions of a missing necklace or something of value, probably worth around fifty to sixty thousand yuan.”
“Good, good, this is absolutely infuriating!” Xie Bingyan raged. “Uncle Li, immediately find the video evidence of Xu Mo stealing. I want the proof to give to the authorities!”
“Mom, are you planning to hand Xu Mo over to the police?” Xu Wanting was shocked.
Xu Deming was also surprised, “Xie Bingyan, what are you doing?”
Xie Bingyan snapped, “If I don’t handle it this way, he dared to point a knife at me! If I don’t discipline him now, he will become even more lawless in the future!”
“We can’t hand him over to the police! If he’s found guilty, Xu Mo will end up in jail!” Xu Wanting hurriedly interjected, “Mom, even though Xu Mo was wrong today, you can’t do this!”
Xie Bingyan raged, “Look at what he did to us today! This ungrateful child dared to point a knife at us. With such lawlessness, how can I tolerate it?”
Xu Deming added, “Regardless, we can’t involve the police for now! This is a family matter; we can’t just hand it over to the authorities.”
“Then find the video! I want the evidence of his theft. I want to see where he’ll end up!” Xie Bingyan fumed.
Upon hearing this, Xu Deming nodded in agreement and instructed Uncle Li.
This time, Xu Mo had truly angered them.
Daring to point a knife at his parents, Xu Deming also felt a severe challenge to his authority. If they didn’t discipline Xu Mo, the deep resentment would be hard to resolve.
He wanted to see how someone skilled at stealing in their own home would manage to stand on their own, to fly solo.
Seeing their reactions, Xu Wanting felt a deep sense of sorrow.
On the other hand, Uncle Li quickly got busy, heading to the computer room to search for surveillance footage.
Due to the large size of the house and for security reasons, there were numerous surveillance cameras both inside and outside the rooms. This was one of the most advanced surveillance systems globally. Normally, without Xu Deming and Xie Bingyan’s authorization, nobody could access the surveillance footage. With their authorization granted, Uncle Li swiftly found the recordings.
After reviewing them, he found himself in a bit of a predicament. “Master and Madam, we didn’t find any footage of Young Master Mo stealing necklaces or jewelry, but we did find footage of him sneaking down at night to eat snacks and take things without permission!”
“What? No footage? How is that possible?” Xie Bingyan stared at Uncle Li.
“Master and Madam, for privacy protection, there are fewer surveillance cameras inside the house compared to the outside. Young Master Mo did visit your room a few times, but he didn’t take jewelry; instead, he took clothes!” Uncle Li explained. “You may need to check if any valuable items are missing!”
Upon hearing this, Xie Bingyan immediately became furious. “I knew he was stealing! Xu Deming, let’s go back and check our belongings!”
Xu Deming also wanted to see what Xu Mo had taken from the house, considering his audacity. He nodded and followed Xie Bingyan back to inspect their possessions.
Being in the jewelry business, their home had a lot of jewelry. Xie Bingyan and Xu Deming had several jewelry pieces in their cabinets.
After taking inventory, Xie Bingyan and Xu Deming were surprised. “Nothing missing? I don’t believe it. Bring me the list; I want to double-check!”
“Yes!” The two quickly cross-checked the list and found that none of the jewelry or necklaces were missing, leaving them gritting their teeth in frustration.
“Whose belongings did he actually steal?”
