The aunt said that over the years, her family had been swindled out of almost all their money.

This 10,000 yuan was the last of their money, pieced together from the money they made by scavenging scraps along the way.

Even with a knife held to her head, her husband refused to let go.

The young man with blond hair was greedy for money and actually stabbed her husband.

The aunt said she still can't forget the scene of her husband clutching the 10,000 yuan under his stomach, the blood that flowed out staining the bag and the money red.

Even today, Zhou Chunhua can't forget the way her aunt was moved to tears when she told her about this place.

The aunt said that the two young men with blond hair stabbed her husband repeatedly with their daggers in order to steal the money.

The blood... gushed out in a gurgling stream.

In the end, it was the sound of police sirens that scared the two blond-haired punks away.

Later, the ambulance arrived and took them to the hospital.

She was seriously injured, and her husband died.

The ten thousand yuan they risked their lives to save was ultimately given to the hospital.

After handling her husband's funeral arrangements, she took his ashes and, riding her only remaining tricycle, continued her search for her granddaughter.

This time, however, she was out of money, and the calls offering paid tips became fewer and fewer, until finally they stopped altogether.

She went from village to village asking, from county to county searching, and from city to city posting missing person notices.

That departure lasted eight years.

It wasn't until recently, when she was selling scrap metal, that she heard a video of her playing on the scrap yard owner's phone, and that's when she rushed to Qing'an.

When her aunt found her that day, she showed her Xu Kexin's photo and asked if she had seen her before, or if Xu Kexin's name was in the diary.

She told her aunt with certainty that Xu Kexin was not in the diary.

At the same time, he also asked about a few questions that had been bothering him after hearing about Xu Kexin's story.

For example, since the surveillance cameras captured the motorcycle and the driver, why don't they just go directly to the motorcycle and the driver?

The aunt then told her that the motorcyclist had been wearing a helmet the whole time and his face hadn't been captured on camera.

As for the motorcycle's license plate, it was found to be fake. The ambulance's license plate was also fake.

The woman also said that the police checked the 120 dispatch number and found that they had never received a call from the motorcycle driver.

At this moment, Xu San said in person that there were such fake ambulances... so Xu Kexin may very well have encountered this situation.

After Zhou Chun trembled as he found Xu Kexin's name, he felt suffocated by the black lines on it.

She took a deep breath before pushing the list in front of Xu San.

Where is Xu Kexin?

Xu San glanced at Xu Kexin's name and shook his head, saying, "She's dead."

"How did he die?" Qin Donglai asked.

Xu San glanced at her, then turned his gaze to Qin Donglai.

“She was also a match. We went to great lengths to get her.” Xu San suddenly stopped and fell into deep thought.

After a long while, he spoke again.

"I remember we tried many different methods. But this girl neither played games nor went on dating platforms. Even when we offered her 100 yuan as bait to ask for directions, she ignored us."

Later, we planned to target her in public restrooms. However, she refused when we asked her to deliver sanitary napkins. So, we followed her for quite some time after that.

Originally, I wanted to figure out her lifestyle before making a move. But who would have thought that she was already a high school student, and every morning either her grandfather or her grandmother would take her to school?

Her radio show aired in the afternoons and evenings, and either her dad or her mom picked her up. In short, she was never left out. At that time, we were like headless flies, completely lost and incredibly frustrated.

Until I remembered the ambulance I'd seen when I dropped Lin Rui off. Hey! I thought I could do the same. So, I went to great lengths to arrange that car accident and get my hands on him.

As soon as Xu San finished speaking, Zhou Chunhua questioned, "Xu Kexin's grandmother said that her family called the police at the time. The police also saw your fake ambulance in the surveillance footage, and then they started looking for you."

Logically speaking, finding a person is difficult, but finding a car shouldn't be hard. But you all ran away! Under those circumstances, how did you manage to leave Xilinhot?

Xu San shook his head at her: "I don't know! Everything that happened after that was arranged by Wu Hao. At the time, Wu Hao only told me which road to take, which highway to take, and which place to go."

Just as he finished speaking, Xu San said "Oh" again, "I remember now, I think I heard Wu Hao say that the person who was a match for her was the son of a wealthy family. So all the obstacles along the way were caused by the other party."

Once we get our hands on the person, we can easily transport them to their designated location.

At this moment, not only Zhou Chunhua fell silent, but Qin Donglai also remained completely still.

And so, everyone, including Xu San, remained unusually quiet.

After a while, Qin Donglai suddenly pointed at Xu San and said, "Xu San, you'd better tell the truth!"

After regaining her composure, Zhou Chunhua guessed that this incident must have shaken Qin Donglai's faith. After all, for such a large vehicle to leave a county under lockdown was, in the eyes of a normal person, simply impossible.

Zhou Chunhua didn't believe it, and Qin Donglai didn't believe it either.

Unexpectedly, Xu San nodded again: "I'm telling the truth."

"Fine! You wait!" Qin Donglai said, then winked at her and left.

Perhaps because she had worked at a law firm before, she immediately understood and followed.

When I came out, I saw Qin Donglai making a phone call.

He held the phone in one hand and took out a cigarette from his pocket with the other and lit it.

After a long while, Qin Donglai finally spoke, "Old Li, it's me, Qin Donglai."

Because she wasn't on speakerphone, she couldn't hear what the other person was saying.

In no time, Qin Donglai recited a series of times, from year, month, and day to minute.

Then she said, "Xu Kexin's family reported the case to the police. Didn't you receive any notice about the lockdown?"

Zhou Chunhua immediately perked up her ears, trying to hear something.

But... it didn't affect the fact that she couldn't hear anything.

She only saw Qin Donglai's expression, which went from ugly to increasingly ugly.

Even the cigarette he hadn't finished smoking was snapped in two by him.

Finally, Qin Donglai stomped his feet and cursed, "How could you bastards do this? That was a living, breathing child! How can you face the country and the people?"

Have you forgotten the oath you took under the national flag when you enlisted? Old Li! Don't you have nightmares? Aren't you afraid of retribution?

After Qin Dong finished speaking, he stopped.

It seems that the other person is speaking.

But... Qin Donglai, who had initially looked grim, suddenly smiled.

"Really? Brain cancer? Good thing, he deserves his retribution!"
