"Mr. Zhao, you've come at the right time! Please call a few more people to help us look for Jiaxiang!" Zhou Bingxing hurriedly approached and made his request.

Zhao Qingshan frowned.

Zhao Qingshan didn't expect that Zhou Bingxing would actually dare to say anything.

At this hour, many people are already asleep. Unless it's a matter of life and death, who would be willing to get out of bed to help you find someone?

Zhou Bingxing even asked Zhao Qingshan to call more people.

Human relationships are something that diminish with use.

Moreover, Zhou Jiaxiang is not Zhao Qingshan's biological grandson. If Zhao Qingshan really goes to great lengths for Zhou Jiaxiang tonight, even if his friends help, they will definitely not be happy about it.

"How long has the child been missing? Have you reported it to the police?" Zhao Qingshan asked, a sudden thought striking him.

"Report to the police? Can the police handle this?" Zhou Bingxing's eyes lit up.

“If a child goes missing, the police will take care of it as long as you report it to the police station. How about this, I'll go with you to the police station!” Zhao Qingshan made a decision immediately.

Zhou Bingxing and his wife have always been shameless. If Zhao Qingshan doesn't find a way to get rid of them, they might stay here and make a scene all night.

Zhou Jiakai has to go to school tomorrow, and Zhao Qingshan is worried that if Zhou Bingxing and his wife continue arguing, they will wake up the children.

“Dad, I’ll go to the police station!” Zhao Zhenzhu said.

Zhao Qingshan had already gone out and worked hard tonight, and Zhao Zhenzhu couldn't bear to see him suffer again.

“Sister-in-law, why don’t you come with us? You know a lot of people in town, and you… hehehe…” Zhou Bingxing said with an embarrassed smile.

Zhou Bingxing's implication was that he felt Zhao Zhenzhu was incompetent and that no one would care if she went to the police station.

Unlike Zhao Qingshan, who could find acquaintances wherever he went.

"Pearl, I'll go! You stay home and keep an eye on things, I'll be right back," Zhao Qingshan said, winking at Zhao Zhenzhu.

Zhao Zhenzhu understood.

Liang Xiaohe hasn't come home yet tonight. Zhao Qingshan is worried that Liang Xiaohe might bring her family over to make a scene.

Zhao Zhenzhu is at home, so she can keep an eye on things.

"Okay, Dad, watch your step." Zhao Zhenzhu saw Zhao Qingshan and the others out before returning to her room.

The person on duty at the police station tonight happens to be Lao Li, an acquaintance of Zhao Qingshan.

After hearing Zhou Bingxing and his wife's report, Old Li frowned and said to Zhao Qingshan, "Old Zhao, normally, a case shouldn't be filed unless someone has been missing for at least 24 hours. However, since you're a relative, I'll make a note of it first. I'll report it to Chief Jin as soon as he gets to work tomorrow morning."

"Why do we have to wait until tomorrow? Can't we go find the child tonight?" Ding Xiaocui objected before Zhao Qingshan could even speak.

“Yes, yes, officer, what if the child gets taken away by human traffickers tonight? By tomorrow, it will be too late.” Zhou Bingxing also looked dissatisfied.

"Comrade, are you sure your child was taken away by human traffickers? Who saw it? I'll have someone investigate right away." Old Li was startled and quickly stood up.

There haven't been any missing children in Peach Blossom Town for several years.

Old Li was also afraid that there really were human traffickers.

"No, no, officer, we were just guessing, just guessing," Zhou Bingxing said with a forced smile.

Ding Xiaocui rolled her eyes at Zhou Bingxing, then pushed him behind her with her big buttocks.

Ding Xiaocui didn't care about any of that. If the police wanted to look for someone, then let them! It wouldn't cost her any money anyway.

"My husband is just guessing, I'm not. I heard someone say that my Jiaxiang was indeed taken away. Officer, please go and arrest the human traffickers right now and rescue my Jiaxiang!" Ding Xiaocui lied through her teeth.

"Comrade, was the person who took your child male or female? How old were they? Did they have any distinctive features?" Old Li quickly picked up his pen to take notes.

"Huh? I don't know, I didn't ask." Ding Xiaocui was dumbfounded.

Ding Xiaocui thought that with Zhao Qingshan around, as long as she insisted that Zhou Jiaxiang had been taken away, the police would immediately set off to find her Jiaxiang!

Unexpectedly, the police did nothing but ask questions and take notes, without taking any action at all.

"Then there's nothing we can do. We'll have to wait until tomorrow. Tomorrow morning, we'll temporarily suspend bus services and conduct a full-scale search of the town," Old Li said.

"Our in-law Zhao brought us to report the case, why do we have to wait until tomorrow? Our in-law Zhao isn't very considerate," Ding Xiaocui said, somewhat disappointed.

"Old Li, our relatives from the countryside are ignorant, please don't take offense." Zhao Qingshan offered Old Li a cigarette and quickly led Zhou Bingxing and his wife away.

Zhao Qingshan was extremely embarrassed.

If Zhou Bingxing and his group stayed any longer, who knows what even more bizarre things they might say.

Once outside the police station, Zhao Qingshan parted ways with Zhou Bingxing and his wife.

The road is right in front of the police station; Zhoujia Village is to the south, and Zhao Qingshan's house is to the north.

Zhou Bingxing took a few steps before realizing he had forgotten to visit Ding Ermei.

"Xiao Cui, Mom is still in the police station! Should we go back and check on her?" Zhou Bingxing asked.

"Let's see if we can release him?" Ding Xiaocui rolled her eyes at Zhou Bingxing.

"Probably not. I think that policeman is very rigid and inflexible, he doesn't know how to be flexible at all." Zhou Bingxing also commented on Lao Li.

"If you can't let them out, what are you going to see? You're probably upset because you didn't get scolded by your mother today, aren't you?" Ding Xiaocui was speechless.

Zhou Bingxing shuddered when he thought of Ding Ermei's mouth.

Oh well, if they didn't go, they didn't go. Anyway, his mother doesn't know they were at the police station.

Zhou Jiaxiang had no idea that Zhou Bingxing and Ding Xiaocui were frantically searching for him outside.

At this moment, Zhou Jiaxiang had already returned to Zhoujia Village and was fast asleep in bed. He even had a sweet dream.

In his dream, dozens of large chicken legs were circling around Zhou Jiaxiang. He took a bite from one, then a bite from another, feeling very happy.

Zhou Jiaxiang returned home just as dusk was falling.

When I got home, the house was completely quiet.

Zhou Jiaxiang didn't care about anything else and went inside to sleep.

This afternoon, Zhou Jiaxiang practiced at Cao Laoliu's house all afternoon, and his hands were so tired they almost cramped up.

Fortunately, he finally succeeded. Zhou Jiaxiang received a large chicken leg as a reward from Cao Laoliu.

On his way home, Zhou Jiaxiang devoured the chicken leg completely.

After finishing a chicken leg, Zhou Jiaxiang was full and didn't go to the kitchen to find anything else to eat.

Zhou Jiaxiang was in a good mood before going to bed.

Cao Laoliu said that after ten days or half a month, when Zhou Jiaxiang has mastered his skills, Cao Laoliu will take Zhou Jiaxiang to make money together. At that time, not only will he have chicken legs, but he can eat whatever he wants.

This afternoon, Zhou Jiaxiang finally learned what Cao Laoliu did for a living: a thief.

At first, Zhou Jiaxiang was very scared.

Thieves are hardly better than rats crossing the street; everyone hates them.

If his parents found out he was a thief, they would definitely beat him to death.

Seeing that things were not going well, Cao Laoliu hurriedly joined Liang Xiaobao in brainwashing Zhou Jiaxiang.

Cao Laoliu said they were not thieves, but "heroic thieves".
