"I've been waiting for you for a long time..." In the chilling, bone-deep darkness of the night, Jiang Yichen, with bloodshot eyes, took from me.
He was my driver, and also my liv...
Chapter 275 Running
Xiao Tiantian nodded promptly and quickly continued to film the scene with her phone.
Her eyes were focused, not missing any details, as if she wanted to deeply engrave the entire scene in her mind.
"Sister Mo, here is a torn note."
Xiao Tiantian squatted down, picked up the scraps of paper carefully, and pieced them together carefully.
My heart tightened, and I quickly walked forward and looked down carefully.
The handwriting on the note was blurry, but I could still barely make out the words "pier" and "tonight".
"The dock... tonight..." I murmured, my face instantly turned pale, and a strong sense of uneasiness surged in my heart, "Will Li Yunma and the child be taken to the Jinjia dock?"
Jiang Yichen's face darkened, his eyes were stern, and he said in a low voice: "It is very likely. The Jin family wharf is their key place, with tight defenses, so it is the best place to hide people. And there are many spies, so it is easy to control."
When I thought about the safety of pregnant mother Li and the child, worry grew like weeds in my heart.
"Sweetheart, please study the photos carefully to see if there are any other clues." I spoke quickly, full of anxiety.
Xiao Tiantian's eyes flashed with worry, and she nodded and reminded: "Sister Mo, be careful, and contact me at any time if there is any situation."
I nodded, turned to look at Jiang Yichen, and said firmly: "Bring the bodyguards that grandma gave you. There can't be any negligence."
Jiang Yichen said without hesitation: "Of course."
His eyes flashed with tenderness, as if to soothe my flustered heart.
A warm current just surged into my heart,
Xu Sisi frowned and took a step forward worriedly: "Sister Mo, don't be impulsive. The Jin family is very shrewd and would not leave such obvious clues. It is very likely a trap. If we are at the dock, the Jin family will not let us detect it easily with their methods."
Xu Sisi's words were like a bucket of cold water, which instantly sobered me up and my face was full of realization and worry.
Jiang Yichen frowned and thought, his eyes solemn: "Sisi is right, there may be a bigger conspiracy behind it. It is dangerous to act rashly. They may lead us to the dock and take the opportunity to transfer the hostages or set an ambush."
I bit my lower lip, feeling anxious but also knowing that they were right.
Jiang Yichen stared at me with a concerned and firm look: "I can't let you get into danger. I will talk to Officer Zhang and ask him to lead the investigation. At the same time, I will arrange for my men to investigate secretly and keep an eye on the other industries and bases of the Jin family."
I nodded gently. Although I was reluctant, I knew it was the best strategy at the moment.
Jiang Yichen quickly took out his cell phone and explained his concerns in detail to Officer Zhang, emphasizing the possible trap.
He then ordered his men to carefully investigate the dock and keep an eye on other movements of the Jin family.
Every second of waiting in the safe house was extremely painful.
I was extremely anxious and kept pacing with my eyes fixed on my phone.
Xiao Tiantian was concentrating on analyzing the photos to find clues; Xu Sisi sometimes frowned and thought, sometimes took notes, and also sorted out the Jin family's assets and network of relationships, and offered insights from time to time.
Finally, Officer Zhang responded that he had led the team to the dock and asked us to wait in the safe house and not to act rashly.
Jiang Yichen's men also sent news that they were approaching the dock and were conducting reconnaissance.
As time goes by, my heart becomes more and more worried.
Are pregnant mother Li and her baby safe? Will the operation be successful?
You can only choose to believe them.
After a long time, Jiang Yichen's cell phone rang. It was a call from his subordinate.
My heart sank when I heard that there was nothing unusual at the dock and that pregnant mother Li and the child were not found.
Then, Officer Zhang also sent a message, his tone puzzled and unwilling: "We searched the docks, but there was nothing suspicious and no one was there. I don't know if the information was wrong or the other party was too cunning."
My hope was shattered in an instant, and I stood there, feeling panic-stricken.
What tricks is the Jin family playing, and where are Li Yunma and the child?
Jiang Yichen's face was gloomy, and he held the phone tightly, his eyes full of anger and unwillingness: "The Jin family had expected that we would find clues, so they set up a trap to lure us to the dock and attack from the east. They have strong anti-detection capabilities and have cleaned up the traces."
Xu Sisi bit her lip and said seriously, "The most urgent thing is to sort out the clues again to see if there is anything missing. The Jin family went to such great lengths to hide something important. Start with the interpersonal network, check the partners and hiding places, and then look at the travel and communication records of the senior management to find clues."
"Yichen..." I called Jiang Yichen.
He looked at me distressedly: "It's okay, he can't run away, go back and rest now."
"Yes, yes." Xu Sisi followed.
Then he added: "Then Xiao Tiantian and I will leave first."
"Okay, then you guys go back and be careful."
"Of course."
After returning home, Jiang Yichen went to bed first.
Since my grandma insisted on being discharged from the hospital, she happened to be discharged and is at home today. I plan to go and ask her in person.
"Grandma." She spoke before I could finish.
"Momo, grandma has something... that she must tell you."
Her voice was hoarse but clear; she had been very exhausted in the past few days.
I took the photo, looked down, and found that it was a photo of my grandfather and several strangers. The background seemed to be a remote warehouse.
My heart sank and my fingers unconsciously clenched the edge of the photo.
"Grandma, this photo is..." My voice trembled a little, and I felt in my heart that there was an important truth hidden behind this photo.
Grandma took a deep breath and said slowly, "Grandpa... was framed. He discovered the secret of the Jin family, and they framed him to cover up the truth. This photo... is the evidence of their deal."
My heart seemed to be grasped by an invisible hand and my breathing became rapid.
My grandfather’s injustice, the Jin family’s conspiracy, and all the suffering our family has endured over the years all came to my mind in an instant.
I held grandma's hand tightly, and said in a firm but choked voice: "Grandma, don't worry, I will definitely seek justice for grandpa!"
Grandma nodded slightly, a hint of relief flashed in her eyes, but then she became exhausted again.
Her breathing gradually became steady.
I gently tucked the quilt in for her and whispered, "Grandma, you take a rest first. I'll be here with you."
She closed her eyes and soon fell into sleep again.
I sat on the edge of the bed, looking down at the photo in my hand, with complicated emotions surging in my heart.
Anger, sadness, unwillingness, and a hint of fear.
Just then, the door was gently pushed open and Jiang Yichen walked in.
He walked up to me and whispered, "How is grandma?"
"Are you awake?"
"Yeah." I raised my head and looked at his concerned eyes, and the uneasiness in my heart was slightly relieved.
I answered softly, "Grandma just told me something about Grandpa. She said that Grandpa was framed by the Jin family. This photo may be the key evidence."
Jiang Yichen took the photo, looked at it carefully, and frowned slightly: "The background of this photo looks very remote. If we can find the specific location, we may be able to find more clues."
