Sheng Yueqing also found it strange.

"I heard from a rumor that Boss Hua seems to have run away."

It is said that they boarded a ship and fled.

At the time, Sheng Jingheng's men happened to be on the ship, and he told them this on their way back.

Now that Boss Hua has run away, where will Sheng Jinjin get the money to open a restaurant?

He Yushen felt increasingly uneasy. "Honey, is Sheng Jinjin up to some kind of scam?"

Or did the boss leave her some money?

She used the money to open a restaurant?

Sheng Yueqing shook her head. "That's unlikely."

The place Sheng Jinjin mentioned sounds very poor.

They have traveled to many places over the years.

I've also heard about many underdeveloped areas.

She had just heard of the region where Sheng Jinjin lived.

It is said that the area is closed-minded and has poor public security.

In a chaotic area, it's impossible to open a restaurant without a bit of snobbery.

With Boss Hua gone, Sheng Jinjin simply couldn't open a restaurant in such a short time on her own.

Unless, of course, all of this is fake.

He Yushen was startled. "She wouldn't be lying to people to do something illegal, would she?"

Sheng Yueqing frowned slightly. "I'm afraid so."

Sheng Yueqing called back to the village to ask.

The village chief said that Sheng Jinjin was calling girls from the neighboring village who were looking for work.

Several of them were sisters-in-law of Wang Xiaocui.

There were also some female classmates from the village.

Sheng Yueqing sensed something was wrong and immediately contacted Sheng Jingheng.

Just then, Sheng Jingheng returned from a meeting and, upon hearing that it was in a remote mountainous area, he understood.

“I know that place.”

It was a hub for gambling, trafficking, and smuggling.

Because that area is both near mountains and the sea, it's an easy place for people to escape, making it difficult to catch them.

The higher authorities had been planning to rectify the situation for a long time, and this time they were going to send Shengjing Heng to handle it.

Sheng Yueqing showed Sheng Jingheng the photos of those girls, which she had specially asked the village chief to send them to her.

"The first one to be called away was Wang Xiaocui, Sheng Jinjin's elementary school classmate."

"According to the village chief, the people behind were all called over by Wang Xiaocui."

However, Wang Xiaocui would still call home from time to time to tell her family that it was safe there, but that she was too busy with the restaurant opening and wouldn't have time to call anymore.

And phone calls are expensive, so please tell your family not to keep calling.

The people from her hometown had never traveled far from home, and Wang Xiaocui seemed very honest and not like someone with ulterior motives, so they believed her.

Sheng Yueqing, however, felt that something was amiss.

Since Sheng Jingheng said that there are many underworld bosses in that area, Sheng Jinjin may have already joined them.

Sheng Jingheng was also getting ready to leave. "I'll go check first. If I see your classmates, I'll rescue them."

Sheng Yueqing told him to be careful, "Brother, please be safe."

Compared to other things, Shengjing Heng's life is definitely more important.

Sheng Jingheng nodded, "Don't worry, I'll leave the family to you."

Sheng Yueqing hummed in agreement, "Your parents are both here, so you don't need to worry."

Pearl still lives in the factory with them, and her three children also live there. Now, Mrs. Sheng and Old Mrs. Sheng are taking care of them together.

With his parents' help, Sheng Jingheng felt more at ease when he was away from home.

After he left, Sheng Yueqing instructed the gatekeeper, "If anyone calls me, remember to notify me immediately."

She always felt that Sheng Jinjin would come looking for her again.

I just don't know what else she might do.

He Yushen thought, "She probably invited those elementary school classmates over there to get themselves killed, right?"

In the past, He Yushen would not have made these connections.

But now that I watch a lot of news, I've learned to think of bad people in even worse ways.

Sheng Yueqing thought so too.

"She probably wanted to find a few prey to show her loyalty in order to surrender."

In her past life, she had read a lot of news about scams and would think of human nature in the worst possible light.

Sheng Jinjin is inherently selfish and self-serving, and hurting others for her own sake is very much in line with her style.

I just don't know if she'll try to take advantage of her?

He Yushen thought so.

"She's so jealous of you, she definitely can't stand to see you doing well, and she'll definitely try to seduce you into going there."

"But you don't get along with her. She probably knows you're not going, so she'll probably come up with another idea."

Sheng Yueqing laughed, "Then tell me, what tricks will she come up with to lure me over?"

He Yushen guessed, "He's probably just pretending to be pitiful."

"He might tell you the truth, but only half of it."

Just as Sheng Yueqing was about to answer the phone, it rang.

It was an unfamiliar number.

She and He Yushen exchanged a glance.

Let He Yushen answer the phone first.

Hello, who is this?

Sheng Jinjin got excited as soon as she heard He Yushen's voice.

I finally got it right.

She had secretly asked an employee for Sheng Yueqing's office number, but she remembered the wrong digits and dialed several incorrect numbers.

I finally got it right today.

With a sob in her voice, she pleaded with He Yushen, "Brother-in-law, I've been kidnapped! Please come and save me!"

He Yu scoffed coldly, "Didn't you go back to your hometown with Boss Hua? How did you get kidnapped?"

Sheng Jinjin glanced at the people staring at her and whispered, "I was cheated by Boss Hua. He ran off with my money and sold me to this remote mountain village."

"I can't get out now, brother-in-law, please call the police for me."

It's unlikely that He Yushen will come to her rescue, but getting him to call the police should be no problem.

He Yu pressed her for answers, "How can you prove you were kidnapped? What evidence do you have?"

In order to save her life, Sheng Jinjin had no choice but to tell him, "I am currently in a mountain village, and I am being forced to become a human trafficker by a madam."
