Chapter 209 The truth is always cruel
"So you mean you had someone watching them from the moment they took the child away?" Secretary Lei said, looking at Lei Jingwu who had suddenly appeared.
Lei Jingwu nodded.
“Someone told me that Tian Lei’s family was planning to do something bad in secret. I took it to heart. Uncle, your trip to the provincial capital for a meeting should be their best opportunity.”
At first, I thought it was just a simple desire to have a second child.
If that's the case, all I need to do is keep an eye on where they take the child and bring the child back when the time comes.
But I never expected them to send their child so far away, to such a remote mountain village.
What I never expected was that they would actually try to harm Tiantian and kidnap her from school.
Third Uncle, you should be able to figure out their real intentions in wanting to get rid of Tiantian!
If she only stole Tian Mi, it's because she wanted to have a second child, to try for a boy... Many people have this thought.
She wasn't alone; this is a case of "where there's a policy, there's a countermeasure." At most, it can only be considered a little bit of scheming!
But regarding Tian Tian's situation...
Uncle, this is breaking the law!
Whether from a legal or personal perspective, this matter cannot simply be left unresolved.
Grandpa doesn't know the specifics of this yet. If he did find out... Third Uncle, you know Grandpa's temper." Lei Jingwu just looked at Secretary Lei like that.
Secretary Lei's face was as black as it could possibly be.
He had come happily to pick up his child and learn about the situation, but now he felt that everything was so ironic.
The mother abandoned her own child in order to have a second child.
If she treats her own children this way, how will she treat children who aren't her own?
Secretary Lei lit a cigarette, but didn't smoke it; he just held it in his hand.
Secretary Lei only took a puff after feeling the smoke swirling between his fingers rushing into his nostrils.
Lei Jingwu could tell that Secretary Lei's hands were trembling.
No one could accept something like this, after all, reality is cruel.
Director Wang of the Public Security Bureau stood silently to the side.
For the past week, he has had to deal with at least three phone calls a day from Secretary Lei, while also sending people to accompany Lei Jingwu across provinces to arrest people and rescue children.
He was also speechless. Couldn't they have found another way to have a second child? Why did they have to create this mess?
Isn't this making a joke at the expense of state organs?
After a moment of silence, Secretary Lei asked, "Where's Mimi? Where is she now?"
"The hospital! She has a cough and keeps crying. The family they took Tian Mi to is an elderly couple with limp bodies."
They are quite old, have no children, and don't know how to raise children, so they don't have any milk powder to feed Tian Mi.
Boiling some rice gruel to feed the field bees is the most they can do.
"After I brought the child home, I took him to the pediatric department of the hospital for a check-up. The pediatrician suggested that he stay in the hospital for two days," Lei Jingwu replied.
Secretary Lei nodded and stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray.
"Okay! I'll go to the hospital to see Mimi later."
"Have all those people been arrested?" Secretary Lei continued to ask.
"They've all been arrested, not one less. Among them is Tian Lei's older brother. Tian Lei's mother hasn't been touched yet. As for whether Tian Lei knows about this, we don't know yet."
"After all, the person hasn't been interrogated yet," Director Wang hurriedly said.
Secretary Lei grunted in agreement, stood up, grabbed his coat, and headed outside.
“Since it’s child abduction, then follow the normal procedures. Human trafficking is a serious crime in any era.”
Interrogate everyone thoroughly! Make them spill everything they know.
Also, aren't there people abducting children from schools? This issue deserves even more attention. Schools are places where children learn knowledge, not gardens where human traffickers can do whatever they want.
"No matter who is involved, we must investigate to the end." After saying this, Secretary Lei put on his coat and left.
Lei Jingwu did not follow.
At this time, his third uncle needed to be alone in peace.
The fact that such a huge incident originated from his wife's family is incredibly embarrassing for his third uncle.
If it's not handled properly... his third uncle's life will be over.
“Jingwu…” Director Wang looked at Lei Jingwu.
"Examine it carefully and thoroughly, and make sure you understand everything."
As for other things... someone will take care of them!
Director Wang, thank you so much this time! I called my dad before I came here, and he said that you were a very meticulous person when you were in the army, so he was sure it was the right decision for me to come and find you.
"My dad said he'd call you personally in a couple of days once the investigation is nearly complete," Lei Jingwu said to Director Wang with a smile.
Director Wang chuckled.
How could I not take the things assigned by my old leader seriously?
Serving the people is our duty, and it is all we should do.
“No wonder my dad said you should take on more responsibility! I guess if I want to ask you for help again in the future, I’ll have to go to the city.” Lei Jingwu continued.
Director Wang was overjoyed upon hearing this.
Sometimes, no matter how well you do, you still need someone to appreciate it...
Lei Jingwu returned home happily, eager to share the news with Yao Shula as soon as possible.
...
"In the mountains? Is it a place where corn cobs are drying everywhere, and the land is all yellow earth? That place is as poor as it gets?" Yao Shula asked subconsciously.
Lei Jingwu was taken aback.
"Yes! How did you know about this place?" Lei Jingwu was surprised.
"Does that old, lame couple live at the very back of the village, near the west wall where there's a sheep pen?" Yao Shula continued to ask.
Lei Jingwu...
"How...how did you know?"
“It’s not that I know, it’s that I dream about that place every day. He told me that he was sold there for some reason and was beaten by a lame couple every day and they wouldn’t give him any food. Later, I asked him a few more questions and that’s when he told me,” Yao Shula said softly.
Lei Jingwu...
Lei Jingwu couldn't bear the thought of being sold to that place every day without any preparation...
If Tian Tian and Yao Shula hadn't been so vigilant, Tian Tian might have actually been sold to that place.
It's so far away, so remote, so poor, and surrounded by mountains... They couldn't find it even if they wanted to!
Tian Lei's family all deserve to die!
"Shura, thank you!" That was all Lei Jingwu could say.
Yao Shula smiled and said nothing more.
...
When Secretary Lei returned home from the hospital, he immediately saw Tian Lei sitting anxiously on the sofa.
When she saw Secretary Lei return, she quickly went to greet him.
"Old Lei...where's the child?"
“She’s in the hospital!” Secretary Lei said, looking at Tian Lei’s face.
