"Xiao Lu, I need you to help me find someone."

Only after Zhang Bo spoke did Lu Ming's gaze shift away from her.

However, Lu Ming's gaze towards Zhang Bo was not very friendly.

What did you call me?

“Little Lu?” Zhang Bo asked, puzzled.

After all, that's what he always called Lu Ming during the years he was the station manager.

The next second, Lu Ming chuckled coldly, his fingers, stained yellow and black from the smoke, shoved the cigarette into the ashtray.

“Zhang Bo, I’m not some lowlife who has to fawn over you just to get you to do him a favor. Do you think it’s appropriate for you to call me that?”

Zhang Bo's expression changed, and he immediately changed his words.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lu."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Ming's expression softened considerably.

He leaned back on the sofa and asked, "So, what do you want?"

Zhang Bo handed over the piece of paper that Wang Lin had given him.

"Mr. Lu, Mr. Wang said that this thing can be found here."

Lu Ming glanced at the string of numbers on the paper and immediately refused.

Before Zhang Bo could even speak again, he directly ordered Zhang Bo to leave.

Seeing that Lu Ming was about to leave, Zhou Chunhua raised her hand, and Lu Ming stopped her.

"Why?"

"Why what?"

Feeling the sinister look in Lu Ming's eyes, Zhou Chunhua felt a chill run down her spine.

She had lived most of her life and had never crossed paths with someone like Lu Ming.

Moreover, she strongly disliked people like Lu Ming.

To put it bluntly, in her eyes, Lu Ming was utter trash.

If there were no people like Lu Ming and Wang Lin in this world, how could so many children be abducted!

Moreover, whether or not they can find Nini depends on this opportunity, and she absolutely cannot let it slip away.

"Why can't you give us what we want!" Zhou Chunhua demanded sharply.

Faced with Lu Ming's scrutiny, Zhou Chunhua met his gaze without flinching.

Just as Zhou Chunhua was mentally going through every possible reason Lu Ming might give, she never expected that Lu Ming would say something like...

"May I have your name?"

Zhou Chunhua straightened her back, as if going to her death on the battlefield, and clearly enunciated: "Zhou Chunhua!"

The next second, Lu Ming's expression suddenly changed.

"A Lincheng native?"

Zhou Chunhua nodded, seemingly confused.

"You went to No. 27 High School?"

Zhou Chunhua was taken aback at first, and then nodded.

Just as she was wondering how Lu Ming knew, Lu Ming suddenly grabbed her hand.

"Old classmate, don't you remember me? It's me! Lu Ming!"

Zhou Chunhua frowned and shook her head.

Looking at the man in front of her whose expression had changed so drastically, she truly had no recollection of him at all.

"What? You forgot that when the Russian girl transferred here, I cornered her outside the school, and you beat me up!"

Upon hearing Lu Ming's words, Zhou Chunhua's eyes widened, and her eyeballs almost popped out of her head.

She still hadn't expected this person to come.

"Come, come, sit down and let's talk." Lu Ming took her hand and led her directly to the sofa.

He then waved to Zhang Bo and Gu Yao, saying, "Sit down and let's talk, sit down and let's talk."

When Zhou Chunhua turned to look at Gu Yao, she saw that Gu Yao had his eyes narrowed and his expression was so cold it was almost icy.

She unconsciously pulled her hand away, finally freeing it from Lu Ming's grasp.

I don't know if it was just my imagination, but Gu Yao's expression seemed to have improved the moment she pulled her hand back.

After that, the whole thing became somewhat surreal.

Lu Ming first called the front desk to make them coffee.

Then he said he would treat them to a meal.

Zhou Chunhua refused outright.

"Mr. Lu, I'm here today to ask for this document."

Her mention of it dampened Lu Ming's enthusiasm.

He seemed to be weighing something, and after a long while, he finally spoke: "You want it? Why?"

When Lu Ming asked this question, Zhou Chunhua hesitated.

After all, Lu Ming had said that she had given him a good beating back in school.

If Lu Ming's outward appearance is friendly but his true intention is revenge, then the information about Nini is likely to be even more distorted.

Hesitating, she looked at Gu Yao.

Their eyes met, and Gu Yao said, "Because that thing can help me find my daughter."

"Who are you……"

Gu Yao didn't answer, but instead handed over his business card.

After Lu Ming looked at the business card, his expression completely changed.

Zhou Chunhua even heard Lu Ming hissing and gasping.

“Jun He, Gu Yao.”

Lu Ming stared at Gu Yao for a while, then said "Wait" and got up to leave.

Zhou Chunhua looked at Zhang Bo with concern.

Zhang Bo looked even more nervous than she did.

Then look at Gu Yao...

All she could say was that people are truly different.

At that moment, Gu Yao was leisurely leaning against the sofa, scrolling through his phone.

Even when he felt her gaze, he looked up and smiled at her: "Don't worry, he'll bring the things over soon."

Zhou Chunhua didn't know why Gu Yao was so confident.

However, when Lu Ming returned twenty or thirty minutes later, he simply placed a USB drive in front of Gu Yao.

Even his expression was completely different from before.

"It was just a misunderstanding, please don't take offense, Attorney Gu. If I had known earlier that they were looking for your daughter, I would have taken this out long ago."

He even kept emphasizing: "It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding."

Gu Yao picked up the USB drive, and Lu Ming immediately brought over the laptop.

Under Gu Yao's control, the blurry surveillance footage appeared on the display screen.

Zhou Chunhua excitedly looked at the time displayed on the screen... It was the day that Su Mu and Nini appeared on another surveillance camera at the same time.

As Gu Yao moved the progress bar, a blurry yet familiar figure appeared on the screen.

Sumu!

Judging from the little girl following Su Mu's feet, just from her back view, her clothes, and her tied hair, Zhou Chunhua was so excited that she almost stood up.

She held back the tears welling up in her eyes, biting her lower lip hard. A strong, metallic taste of blood filled her mouth.

Trying to calm myself down, I took deep breaths without making a sound.

In the surveillance footage, Su Mu looked around, appearing more like he was looking for someone than waiting for a bus.

Then, in the surveillance footage, Su Mu led Nini out of the surveillance area.

She quickly looked at Gu Yao.

Gu Yao nodded in understanding.

"What about the ticket purchase records for this time period?"

"They're all here." Lu Ming opened a file and handed the mouse back to Gu Yao.

At that moment, Zhou Chunhua's heart leaped into her throat with excitement.

It seemed that the moment she opened her mouth, my heart would leap out of my throat.

Finally, perseverance pays off, and she has finally found Nini!

If they can find Su Mu's ticket purchase record, they can not only follow the clues to find Nini's whereabouts, but also send Su Mu to jail!
