"Ah Ye is right, you guys need to make a decision quickly, good opportunities don't wait for anyone! If you keep dragging your feet, the cops might come!"
Brother Leopard was getting impatient. If he didn't need manpower, he wouldn't have let these idiots come back to him and get in his way.
Those people looked at each other again and again before finally making a decision.
"Alright! Brother Leopard, we're sticking with you! You absolutely have to lead the brothers to riches!"
"Hahaha... Alright! Hurry up and pack your things, we'll move to a new location tonight!"
Everyone sprang into action, leaving behind only essentials, and taking their valuables and money with them as they fled. Everything was going according to Cheng Ran's plan, and as was his custom, he left behind a secret signal…
The next day, Jiang Wanqing was about to go to find the head of law enforcement, Cha Chengran, when she was suddenly informed that the Cheng family elders had already arrived at the train station with the child!
Left with no other choice, she had to rush to the station to pick up the person.
"Hmph! So you finally came to pick us up? Your wings have grown incredibly strong. You didn't tell us anything else, but you didn't even tell us, your parents, that Cheng Ran was still alive. Jiang Wanqing, what are you really up to!"
As soon as she picked up the person, Cheng's mother started venting. She had been holding back her frustrations all the way and just had to get it off her chest.
Mr. Cheng sighed and looked at Jiang Wanqing with displeasure: "You really made a mistake this time. No matter what your concerns were, you should have informed us. If we hadn't heard it from someone else, we wouldn't have known that Cheng Ran was alive. Take us to see him now!"
"Mommy, have you finally found Daddy? I want to see Daddy."
The little girl nestled obediently in her arms, wrapped her arms around her neck, and spoke in a sweet, childish voice.
Jiang Wanqing's heart melted. She patted her daughter's head and smiled.
“Okay, Nannan will definitely see her father.” After comforting her daughter, she turned to the two elders and said, “This is not the place to talk. I’ll take you to the guesthouse first, and we can sit down and talk slowly.”
She knew she was wrong, but being publicly and loudly reprimanded by Cheng's mother made her feel uncomfortable, so her expression wasn't very good.
The atmosphere was somewhat eerie all the way to the guesthouse.
Jiang Wanqing called Hong Xing over and asked him to play with the child for a while. She then closed the door and spoke with Cheng Ran's parents.
"Dad, Mom, when I call you that, it means I'm speaking from a family perspective. If you disagree with anything, please wait until I finish, okay?"
She could tell that the two elders were a bit agitated. They hadn't seen Cheng Ran yet, so they definitely needed to explain beforehand to avoid them going berserk.
Mrs. Cheng opened her mouth and was about to get up when Mr. Cheng pressed her down and shook his head.
"Listen to what she has to say first. You forgot, the military has also sent people. It's definitely not as simple as we think. Obey the overall situation."
"Okay, then tell me, what exactly happened?"
Their emotions finally calmed down, and they were willing to listen carefully to what Jiang Wanqing had to say.
"Then I'll keep it short. Two years ago, Cheng Ran fell off a cliff during a mission and was rescued by farmers in the mountains. Because of amnesia, he lived with that family for two years until I came here to prepare for the new factory and went to the mountains to investigate. That's when I found out he was still alive. Some time ago, I found a neurosurgeon from Beijing to treat him. The reason I didn't tell you is because he was very resistant to people during his amnesia and his condition was unstable. I was afraid you would worry. I thought that once his condition improved, I would bring him back to Beijing to reunite with you."
Jiang Wanqing first explained the reason why Cheng Ran was still alive. After listening, Cheng's father did not agree with it, but after putting himself in Cheng's shoes, he realized that it was not unreasonable.
After all, there are still children involved. If Cheng Ran were to face the children while suffering from amnesia, it might not be a good thing.
"Then tell me, why did Cheng Ran disappear after he regained his memories?"
"Well... because he inadvertently found criminals connected to a mission two years ago, and he wanted to bring them all to justice, so..."
She dared not reveal too much about the mission, although she didn't know much either.
"Alright, I think I understand now. No wonder the military sent people here; they must be here to help him complete a task he didn't finish two years ago."
"Yes, that's right."
Jiang Wanqing and Cheng's father exchanged words back and forth, creating a pleasant atmosphere. However, Cheng's mother was still unhappy and snorted.
"These are all excuses. Do you really think we're so clueless? You told us, and we'd leak the secret? It's clearly you who's heartless. Stop making up all this nonsense. I'm still very angry about this!"
"sorry."
"Forget it, Wanqing has already explained that it wasn't intentional. Let's try to understand each other. At least Cheng Ran is still alive, we should be happy."
Mr. Cheng was quite reasonable; he acted as an emotional mediator, constantly soothing his wife's emotions.
"Hmph, I'm going out to check on Nannan, what's going on here..."
Meanwhile, military law enforcement officers arrived at a courtyard on the outskirts of the city.
They found it based on the code left by Cheng Ran. The place was deserted, but judging from the remaining traces of life, those people should have left not long ago, probably around dawn.
The captain waved his hand: "Everyone, look around and see if there are any secret codes left by Battalion Commander Cheng."
"yes!"
At a command, everyone began searching, turning the entire courtyard and rooms upside down, and finally found the secret code in an inconspicuous corner.
"Captain! He's here!"
Someone shouted, and the captain went over to hear it.
This time it wasn't a crumpled piece of paper, but a mark left by Cheng Ran in the corner of the wall, hidden by a chair; you wouldn't notice it unless you looked closely.
The captain squatted down, put on gloves, and carefully examined the area.
"They've indeed moved their position, and they've taken quite a few people with them. Let's go back and contact the local authorities to get reinforcements!"
"clear!"
"Send men to encircle both the waterways and land routes; don't let the train station escape!"
The captain gave the instructions and was still thinking about their next destination. This wasn't mentioned in the code, so they probably hadn't decided where to go either. They could only continue to investigate using the code left by Cheng Ran.
Jiang Wanqing was still a little disappointed when she learned that Cheng Ran was nowhere to be found. She advised Cheng's parents to take the child back to Beijing first, but they wouldn't listen.
"There's no room for discussion! We need to see Cheng Ran as soon as he's back to feel at ease. Don't even think about hiding it from us anymore!" Cheng's mother argued firmly.
"Don't worry, we'll just stay and won't cause you any trouble," Mr. Cheng said.
Helpless, Jiang Wanqing could only let them go, but due to her busy schedule and fear of accidents, she had to ask Hong Xing to take care of them.
When she had free time, she took care of her daughter. Several days passed like this. Finally, the law enforcement team followed Cheng Ran's coded messages and found out where Brother Leopard and his group would stop next. They led the main force to find them, hoping to bring all the criminals to justice!
