Chapter 99 Dahe Village
After searching for a whole night, they still couldn't find Zhong Long. The whole Zhong family was dead silent. When my third aunt came back, she had cried all her tears dry.
But there was news from Mr. Zhong.
"You mean, Zhong Wei just disappeared from the face of the earth?" Zhong Qiao said.
"Yes." Zhong's father nodded, his face heavy. "We waited there all night, but we couldn't hold it in any longer, so we took action. Zhong Hong and the two children are still here, but Zhong Wei seems to have vanished from the face of the earth."
This is bad.
Zhong Qiao originally thought that he should not alert others and let Zhong's father and others wait at home. After all, if it was really done by Zhong Hong and his wife, they would definitely go home to rest first and then sell Zhong Long.
She never thought that she underestimated Zhong Wei's shamelessness and abandoned his home, wife and children.
"We can't delay any longer." Zhong Qiao's eyes darkened. "Have the police found a way to find him?"
Mr. and Mrs. Zhong looked at each other in surprise.
"We told them, and they did look for it, but Suzhou is so big, they had no clue where to find it, and it was impossible to find it."
"Don't worry." Zhong Qiao thought for a moment, "There's still room for this to turn around. Does Zhong Wei have any close friends? With all the fuss going on outside, he definitely wouldn't dare bring Zhong Long out. He's most likely been hidden by his friends."
Zhong Siqi also thought it made sense.
"Sister, when I left, I inquired about this. Zhong Wei is involved in all kinds of things, including drinking, whoring, and gambling. He has quite a few bad friends, but there are three people who have a particularly good relationship with him. One is called Zhou Hu, and the other two are called Cheng Fugui and Qian San."
After a pause, he emphasized in a low voice: "This Qian San seems to be Qian Sao's son, but for some reason, we haven't been in contact for a long time."
Zhong Qiao fell into deep thought and said, "Cheng Fugui, which Cheng?"
Zhong Siqi said: "The character for 禾 is used to refer to someone who is a ruffian and idles around all day."
Zhong Qiao's pupils shrank slightly. She really didn't expect to have such an unexpected gain. These two people, one was Cheng Fugui and the other was Qian San. Although she met them by chance, she had a good memory and remembered them both.
"Go and invite Mrs. Qian over." Zhong Qiao said.
Since this matter is related to Mrs. Qian, we cannot delay it. If we delay any longer, there is no guarantee that something will happen to Zhong Long.
Although Zhong Qiao didn't like him, he wasn't going to bother with a junior.
Zhong Siqi called Mrs. Qian over. After thinking for a moment, Zhong Qiao decided to explain the whole story to her and then went to see her reaction.
Normal families would naturally turn against their sons if they were slandered, but Zhong Qiao had been with Mrs. Qian for so long, and he believed that she was a sensible person and knew the pros and cons of the matter.
After hearing everything, Mrs. Qian's face changed again and again, but she answered without hesitation: "Impossible, my son is not that kind of person."
Zhong Qiao nodded and said, "Mrs. Qian, I'm not saying your son is definitely one of them. I just want you to tell me everything about what Zhong Wei and his friends do in private, and where they live."
Mrs. Qian naturally knew what had happened overnight, and she told the whole story in a serious manner.
"My son and he were in the same class in high school, and they had a good relationship. But ever since Zhong Xiang got addicted to gambling, he's even been beating his wife. My son Qian San couldn't stand it, and once he even got into a fight with him to defend Zhong Hong."
Mrs. Qian sighed. "My son has a good heart. He just can't stand men hitting women. Zhong Wei got drunk and acted crazy. No one would listen, and no one could stop him. He even slandered my son and Zhong Hong for having a relationship, and then the two of them broke up."
"After so many years, my son has already married and had children. My wife is a city girl who likes cleanliness and is particular about things."
Having said that, Mrs. Qian smiled bitterly.
"She rarely comes to our place, but I can guarantee that with my son's temper, he will never associate with Zhong Wei. Not to mention him, my daughter-in-law is very strict with him. After hearing about the incident, she also won't let him associate with Zhong Wei's family."
Zhong Qiao nodded: "What about the other two people? What do they and Zhong Wei mainly do on weekdays?"
Mrs. Qian pondered for a moment and shook her head. "I don't know. My son hasn't had any contact with him for years. He just chatted with the neighbors and heard some things. Cheng Fugui and Zhou Hu were both ruffians. It was them who tricked Zhong Wei into gambling."
Mrs. Qian suddenly had an idea: "Oh right, these people often gather at Cheng Fugui's house to gamble."
Zhong Siqi shouted, "Then why don't we go find this Cheng Fugui?"
Mr. Zhong was worried: "But where does he live?"
"I know where to live." Zhong Qiao suddenly interrupted the topic, raised his eyes, and his eyes were frozen. "Dahe Village."
A group of people were about to rush to Dahe Village. During this time, Cui Liu saw this scene and was frightened to death. He quickly grabbed one of the people's hands and asked, "Where are you going?"
The man said angrily, "Where else can we go? Of course we should go to Dahe Village. They say it was Zhong Wei who did this. Pah, he doesn't even dare to steal from his own relative's child. He's absolutely heartless!"
"Today, I must break his legs!"
After saying that, he shook off the distraught Cui Liu.
Cui Liu's heart plummeted, his face turned pale, and he managed a gentle smile, feeling extremely panicked.
She thought that if they didn't find anything after one night, these people would calm down, but she didn't expect that they would trace it back to Zhong Wei so quickly.
No.
She shook her head.
There's no way the police could have found it so quickly! Someone must have been interfering!
Cui Liu didn't bother to think about it and followed him in a rage.
She absolutely couldn't let Zhong Wei speak.
Zhong Qiao had to go with him.
Even if something like that happened, she couldn't let go of Wanwan, but if they wanted to escape from this kind of life, they could only accumulate wealth as quickly as possible. Only with money would they have the confidence to split up.
You can change to a better environment instead of living in this smoky and chaotic environment, living in fear every day, thinking about making money while also dealing with people outside and the wolves and tigers at home.
"Wait until mom comes back." Zhong Qiao kissed Wanwan's little face, "I'll change a bigger house for you."
"Don't worry." Mrs. Qian's face was full of relief. "I'm here."
Zhong Qiao nodded and said sincerely, "Mrs. Qian, thank you. I really don't know what I would have done without you."
"Why are you saying all these weird things today, kid?" Mrs. Qian said warmly. "I've been through this myself. It's not easy for a woman to raise a child. But you're lucky. You even got a divorce. You're better off than me. Your life will get better and better in the future."
She patted the back of Zhong Qiao's hand with a meaningful tone.
Zhong Qiao had mixed feelings.
If it weren't for Mrs. Qian and her family who always took good care of Wanwan, how could she have the confidence to go out and make her own way? In her heart, Mrs. Qian was no different from the reliable elders in the family.
She took a deep breath, got on Mr. Zhong's bicycle, and rode away.
The destination is also Dahe Village.
