Chapter 122 Farewell
Around four o'clock in the afternoon, the driver came back, humming a little tune and looking in a good mood.
Seeing Liu Dongsheng, he greeted him again, "Brother Li, why don't you go out for a walk? You said before that you would go with me to see the goods, why didn't you go? This batch of goods is really good."
Liu Dongsheng could only smile bitterly, "Don't mention it, my money was stolen, and I can't do business anymore."
The driver looked at him sympathetically and asked, "How much did you steal?"
Liu Dongsheng shook his head and said nothing.
"So, what are your plans now, Brother Li?"
Liu Dongsheng whispered, "I plan to work in the Miandian area."
The driver nodded in understanding. "That's not bad. I heard the wages there are quite high, and many Chinese people have made fortunes there."
He attentively handed Liu Dongsheng a cigarette and said, "Brother Li, if you become rich, don't disown me as your brother."
Liu Dongsheng waved his hands and smiled bitterly, "It's not that easy to get rich."
The driver smiled and said, "Brother Li, I can tell from the looks of it that you are a well-educated person. You also look very lucky. You will definitely make a fortune."
The driver also told some examples of people who made a fortune by gambling on stones in Miandian. Liu Dongsheng was excited after hearing this. This was also a way out. If he had the chance, he would definitely try his luck.
The driver went back to the hotel, took a look around and left again, saying that he was going to another place with a friend to look at goods.
Liu Dongsheng sat there until dark, then went out to buy a box lunch. When it was almost ten o'clock, he walked out and stood at the door of the hotel, looking around.
Soon a minibus drove over and someone got out. He looked at Liu Dongsheng and asked, "Are you Li Dahai?"
Liu Dongsheng was stunned for a moment before nodding, "It's me." The name on the ID card he bought was Li Dahai.
The man waved his hand and said, "Get in the car."
Liu Dongsheng got on the bus. There were already quite a few people on the bus, most of them young people.
He quickly started chatting with the person next to him. This person was also there to work, but from the information revealed in his words, Liu Dongsheng knew that he was there to work as a code-spinner in the casino, and his salary was not as high as Liu Dongsheng's.
Liu Dongsheng had a subtle sense of superiority.
After picking up Liu Dongsheng, the car drove towards the border.
Someone on the way said, "When we get there, everyone follow the instructions. This is what we're doing, and you all know what we're doing. If anyone disobeys the instructions and runs around, and gets caught or shot, don't blame me for not warning you."
The car turned many corners and soon got onto a small road.
After stopping on the roadside for a while, all the people in the car were forced to get off.
Then they were led through a path in the woods to a barbed wire fence, where they climbed out one by one through a gap in the fence.
When Liu Dongsheng stood in front of the barbed wire, for some reason, he suddenly shed two lines of tears.
He couldn't help but look back. Although he could only see the dark night, what he saw was his motherland.
The capital city, and his hometown which he had not returned to for a long time.
He had never felt so clearly that he could never go back.
This land behind me, this farewell, may be forever.
······
It's already past eleven o'clock, and Qi Mo hasn't slept yet.
He is expecting an important call.
The phone finally rang. He answered it and asked in a deep voice, "Is it done?"
The other side replied: "It's done."
"He has already left the country. I saw him go there with my own eyes."
"Don't worry, boss. That person promised me that once he goes there, they will keep an eye on him and won't give him a chance to return home."
Qi Mo hummed softly, "Very good, you did a good job, thank you for your hard work."
"That money will be divided among you guys, as a reward for your hard work."
The voice on the other end of the phone was a little surprised, "Thank you, boss."
Qi Mo hung up the phone, the corners of his lips slowly curled up, the problem was finally solved satisfactorily.
Although it took a long time and the process was a bit tortuous.
But the result is good.
In the same city, at this time, there was another person who was still awake.
Huang Juan stayed in the police station, tears streaming down her face.
The night before, Huang Juan came out after cooking and found that Liu Dongsheng was missing.
When she was in the kitchen, she clearly heard the sound of Liu Dongsheng coming in and closing the door. She even looked back and saw Liu Dongsheng going into Xiaopang's room.
When I called him to eat, he was gone and his phone was turned off.
I asked Xiaopang, and he thought for a while and said that his father seemed to have gone out with a bag on his back.
That night, Liu Dongsheng did not return home all night.
Huang Juan was very nervous. She was worried that someone from Fia Company had taken Liu Dongsheng away again.
The next day, Huang Juan called but the phone was still turned off. She found Liu Dongsheng's workplace, and people there said that Liu Dongsheng had not come to work.
Huang Juan was about to call the police, but when she remembered the forty-eight hours the officer mentioned, she forced herself to hold back.
I counted down and waited for forty-eight hours before reporting the case. The staff did file a case, but they didn't take it seriously.
Huang Juan made a scene at the police station, saying that it must be the people from Fia Company who arrested Liu Dongsheng. They had arrested Liu Dongsheng once before, and had beaten him severely, forcing him to compensate them for the house.
The staff then took the case seriously and conducted an investigation, but did not find any useful clues.
Fia Company did not admit that it had arrested Liu Dongsheng before, and said that they did have some unpleasantness due to the contract, but it was resolved peacefully and an agreement was signed.
The staff then checked the flight and train information, but found nothing.
After checking the surveillance footage at the long-distance bus station, an employee discovered that Liu Dongsheng had appeared there before.
And he bought a ticket but didn't get on the bus and left.
After investigating the surveillance footage around the bus station, they found that Liu Dongsheng had gotten into a taxi.
By questioning the taxi driver and checking the surveillance footage inside the car, we confirmed that Liu Dongsheng left on his own and was not coerced by anyone.
I called the county and asked them to cooperate with the investigation. The county also sent a surveillance video showing Liu Dongsheng getting on a long-distance bus on the side of the road and leaving.
The staff did not investigate further. This was an adult with legs growing on his body and his life was not in danger. This could not be considered a missing case at all.
A female staff member gave Huang Juan the investigation results of the case and even showed her the surveillance video.
Huang Juan couldn't believe that Liu Dongsheng would leave her and her son behind.
She cried and said, "It's impossible. He ran away without even saying hello. There must be something going on."
"I beg you, please check again. My husband is an honest man. He would not abandon us and run away."
The female clerk was a little impatient. "Auntie, I showed you the surveillance video. Your husband left on his own. He avoided airplanes, high-speed trains, and other means of transportation and took a long-distance bus that doesn't require real-name registration. It's obvious that he doesn't want anyone to know his whereabouts."
"Auntie, why did your husband run away? Don't you have any idea?"
"Didn't he say he owed Fia Company half a million? He ran away, maybe to avoid his debts."
"We're very busy every day, with so many cases. He's not missing, and we don't have the police force to run all over the country to find your husband!"
For some reasons, sensitive words are avoided in the work as much as possible. Ladies reading this book, please be tolerant.
