Chapter 6 Seeking Help to Investigate

When they arrived at the Zhou family's house, the family was having breakfast.

Upon seeing her approach, a middle-aged woman quickly stood up and greeted her with a smile:

"Yanzi's here! Have you had breakfast yet? I just made some egg pancakes, come and eat!"

This person is named Wu Jiahui, and she was a close friend of the original owner's mother for many years.

The other party is a production team leader in a textile factory, and previously worked in the same factory as the original owner's mother.

"Aunt Wu, I've already eaten. I came here because I have something to discuss."

Jiang Feiyan responded with a smile, and then greeted Zhou Jianbai at the dinner table, "Hello, Uncle Zhou."

"Hehe, Yanzi, eat some more. Look how thin you are." Zhou Jianbai nodded with a smile.

"No need." Just as Jiang Feiyan finished speaking, a young girl came out of the kitchen.

As soon as the other person saw her, they exclaimed happily, "Yanzi, you're here! Are you feeling better...?"

However, before he could finish speaking, he was glared at by his mother.

Zhou Linghui quickly stopped the conversation.

Phew! That was close!

Two days ago, Yanzi was almost abducted. That incident is a painful memory for the other party, and she shouldn't bring it up now.

Zhou Linghui looked annoyed and quickly changed the subject:

"You've come at the perfect time. I just went to the department store yesterday and bought a pair of very pretty hair clips, which I was just about to give to you."

Jiang Feiyan's beautiful eyes flickered slightly, and she said with a look of surprise, "Really? Then I'll have to see."

Seeing that she didn't seem unhappy, Zhou Linghui felt relieved.

He quickly and enthusiastically took her hand and led her to the room: "Come on, come on, let's go to my room!"

Seeing the two girls acting like best friends, Wu Jiahui smiled and shook her head.

She added another bowl of porridge to Zhou's father's plate: "You have to go to work today, right? Eat more so you don't get hungry too quickly."

"Mm." Zhou Jianbai picked up a piece of egg pancake and put it in her bowl: "Wife, you should eat more too. Working in the factory is not easy either."

"I understand." Wu Jiahui felt a sweet warmth in her heart.

Although her husband is a bit clumsy with words, he is honest, kind, and family-oriented, and she is very content with him.

A little while later, Zhou Linghui pulled Jiang Feiyan into the living room, beaming with pride as she boasted:

"Dad, Mom, look! Isn't Yanzi's hair clip really pretty?"

The girl in front of me had two braids and two sparkly blue hair clips on either side of her forehead, which made her pretty face look even more youthful and beautiful.

Wu Jiahui looked at Jiang Feiyan with a smile and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Beautiful, beautiful!"

This girl is really beautiful. It's a pity I don't have a son, otherwise I would marry her and pamper her as my daughter-in-law.

"Yes, it's really good." Hearing her taciturn father praise her, Zhou Linghui immediately became smug: "Hehe, I have good taste!"

Seeing her daughter's smug look, Wu Jiahui said with a mix of amusement and exasperation, "Don't get carried away. Eat your breakfast, or you'll be late for work!"

Zhou Linghui made a face: "Okay!"

After Zhou's father finished breakfast, Jiang Feiyan went to his room alone with him for a while.

Jiang Feiyan first recounted how she had overheard her scumbag father and stepmother talking.

Then, with her eyes slightly reddening, she looked at Zhou Jianbai and said, "Uncle Zhou, I need your help."

Zhou Jianbai is the captain of the investigation team at the Xiqu Public Security Bureau in Beijing. He is a kind, upright, and enthusiastic person.

Before the original owner's mother passed away, the Zhou and Jiang families had an excellent relationship.

He watched Jiang Feiyan grow up from a young age and loved her as if she were his own daughter.

Hearing Jiang Feiyan recount the truth about being abducted, and seeing the girl's aggrieved expression, he realized that she was being treated this way.

Zhou Jianbo, who is usually good-tempered, suddenly lost his temper and even swore:

"That son of a bitch Jiang Guowei! How dare he let that woman hurt you like this! I'll get someone to beat him up right now!"

Zhou Jianbai did not doubt the truthfulness of what Yanzi said.

This girl is a bit impatient, but she has a very innocent and adorable personality.

If they hadn't been driven to desperation, why would they have come to him for help?

"Uncle Zhou, don't panic!" Jiang Feiyan quickly reassured him, "We need to discuss this matter carefully, please listen to me..."

Next, Jiang Feiyan expressed her thoughts and concerns one by one.

She also mentioned that Jiang Wanbao might be the son of a scumbag father.

Zhou Jianbai had just calmed down for a while, but when he heard the next sentence, he almost lost his temper again.

He gritted his teeth and said, "That Jiang Guowei... he's a beast! He doesn't deserve to be your father at all!!"

“I don’t consider him my father anymore.” Jiang Feiyan gave a bitter smile and continued:

"All I want now is for the truth to come out and for him and that woman to be brought to justice!"

"Absolutely!" Zhou Jianbai looked at her and solemnly assured her, "Yanzi, don't worry, I will investigate as soon as possible and give you an explanation!"

Even if that woman's cousin runs to the ends of the earth, he will still bring him back!

"Please don't tell Aunt Wu and Sister Linghui about this for now, I'm afraid they'll worry," Jiang Feiyan continued. "We'll talk about it after we've investigated it thoroughly."

Zhou Jianbai nodded: "Okay, I understand!"

Concern can lead to confusion; if my wife and daughter do something impulsive and alert the enemy, it won't be good.

Jiang Feiyan said gratefully, "Thank you, Uncle Zhou. You're the only ones I can rely on now."

“We’re all family, no need for such formalities.” Zhou Jianbai looked at her with affection: “From now on, treat the Zhou family as your own home. Our door will always be open for you.”

"Uncle Zhou... thank you..." Jiang Feiyan felt a warmth in her heart.

After the two finished their conversation, Jiang Feiyan said goodbye.

Wu Jiahui quickly stepped forward and asked her husband, "What's wrong? You've been talking for so long?"

"It's nothing." Zhou Jianbai glanced at his wife, telling a lie for the first time.

"Yanzi asked me if the thugs who were trafficked had been found. I told her they had been caught."

On the train at the time, a few thugs took advantage of the chaos to escape, and the train conductor and passengers only managed to catch one of them.

He had been working tirelessly on this matter for the past few days, and finally managed to apprehend the others, but unexpectedly, there were other culprits behind it all.

No wonder when he interrogated those thugs yesterday, they looked anxious and stammered, but couldn't say anything important for a long time.

That woman's cousin was really cunning; disguised and speaking with a stranger's accent, he had already vanished without a trace.

If Yanzi hadn't overheard the woman's conversation with Jiang Guowei, wouldn't things have just ended like this?

Thinking of this, Zhou Jianbo's dissatisfaction with Jiang Guowei deepened, and he became even more eager to find out the truth.

He quickly grabbed his uniform and hurried outside, instructing his wife as he went:

"I have a case to follow up on at the bureau these few days, so I probably won't be back for meals or lodging. You don't need to wait for me."

After saying that, he strode away.

"Ugh!..." Wu Jiahui couldn't catch up even from behind, and could only mutter complaints:

"This idiot, he gets so anxious whenever there's a case. He could at least let me prepare some things..."
