After leaving the store, Chen Tinghan stood on the street, breathed a sigh of relief, and looked relaxed.
He just looked relaxed.
As soon as he stepped out of the store, Chen Tinghan felt several gazes coming from different directions. This was certainly not because he really had any murderous intentions, but because he was deliberately paying attention to these gazes.
These hyenas were too lazy to even prepare elaborate camouflage. They were scattered around lazily and randomly, staring blankly at Chen Tinghan. The smell on their bodies could be smelled for ten miles even in the wind, and it couldn't be dispelled.
Who were these hyenas commanding? Wang Jinling? The Wang family?
It is most likely the Wang family, which proves that there is something wrong with the group of motorcycle taxi drivers he met today. He was deliberately fishing for them. After all, they offered a "reward", so it is not surprising that the Wang family reacted.
Looking at their lazy appearance, it was obvious that they did not think Chen Tinghan was a threat. Perhaps they just wanted to be on the safe side and cast a net to see if they could really catch something.
If it was Wang Jinling, she would probably also suspect that Chen Tinghan was reborn, and would never send such a scumbag to deal with him.
The trouble is, no matter who sent them, they were closely monitoring Chen Tinghan's every move, so even if he hid in the school, he might not be safe.
Chen Tinghan, by deducing Old Wu's movements and combining them with his past life memories, determined the kidnapped girl's location. He initially planned to find her on his own. This wasn't a safe option, but it wasn't particularly dangerous either, as the kidnapper was only Old Wu, not some gangster, but a motorcycle taxi driver who was tempted by the money.
Now that several pairs of eyes are watching, this road is blocked.
The girl's body was found five days after she went missing. It was speculated that she was killed a day ago. Now Old Wu has been missing for three days. If no action is taken today, the girl's body might be found at the designated location tomorrow.
He did not personally experience this kidnapping incident in his previous life. He only found out about it while digging up dirt on the Wang family and Wang Jinling, so he did not have a deep impression of it. He only remembered it by chance today.
The most rational and safest thing to do at this moment is to let things take their own course and not intervene. Anyway, he has not lost anything so far, but has instead gained a lot of information.
For his own sake and for his family's sake, he should swallow his pride.
He suddenly took a step forward and slowly walked along the commercial street. The sun had already set, and the sunshades on the street acted as a canopy, swallowing up the last ray of sunlight. The warmth was like bubbles, collapsing at the slightest touch, but the bitter cold brought by the darkness penetrated into his bones and was lingering.
Chen Tinghan's eyes were as bright as ever, but he suddenly felt uncontrollable anger in his heart.
He felt it was unfair. Why could these beasts who had done so many evil things and were rotten to the core stand in the sun openly, while people like that girl, who were in the best years of their lives, had to be exploited and eaten alive by them?
Why should people who should be living a good life be squeezed into the gutter and feed on damp moss, while these rats who should die in the light can absorb sunlight?
No, that's not right. He insisted on driving the mice back to where they belonged, sprinkling medicine on them and covering them with soil.
And no one who should not die is allowed to die.
Chen Tinghan looked up, toward the direction the hyenas were following, and laughed with a mocking smile. If Wang Jinling hadn't returned, this would be their last chance to kill him. Could these idiots seize the opportunity?
The observers didn't know why the half-grown child suddenly laughed, looked righteous, and walked into a dessert shop and ordered a double portion without hesitation.
In the end, they didn't care about that smile.
If they had taken the teenager away unreasonably and resorted to force as usual, perhaps something could have been changed. However, the police who occasionally passed by because of the missing persons case and the plainclothes officers who were patrolling outside were an invisible barrier, and they believed that this young boy was not important at all.
It is precisely because of this that they missed the last chance to stop the wheel of history from starting.

......
Zhou Jinwei, wearing a police uniform, sat at a small round table in the reception room. Although he was in the prime of life, he looked like a ghost who was about to leave on his journey. He looked indescribably haggard and tired. He held a bowl of instant noodles and ate it without any taste.
Soon, his colleagues came to join him. As soon as they sat down, they said, "Look at how busy they are. How can they eat?"
As he spoke, the other party opened his lunch box and without hesitation, he put a few chopsticks of vegetables into Zhou Jinwei's instant noodles, muttering, "I can't stand eating this all day. Try this. My wife made this dish and just delivered it to me."
"When did you get married?" Zhou Jinwei asked, holding the bowl.
"You can call your girlfriend your wife, but bachelors don't understand."
Zhou Jinwei pursed his lips and wanted to curse, but he was too tired to do so and swallowed it back.
The other party said, "I've been so busy that I can only sit down and eat a few mouthfuls of food today. If I go downstairs to take a shower, I'll be moldy."
Zhou Jinwei didn't say anything. After taking two bites of his rice, he looked up and said, "Old Cai, I still don't understand."
"What's so confusing? The child was missing for two days before the police were called. He could have been kidnapped and taken anywhere in those two days."
Old Cai's words sounded cold, but they were also true. The most indifferent were the missing girl's parents. Every minute of delay in reporting the missing person's case made the subsequent search several times more difficult. He said, "We've practically plowed every corner of the Chengmao area these past few days, right? It's no use. There are still many blind spots we can't find. We have to search further, across districts, cities, counties, and even provinces. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack."
Zhou Jinwei shook his head, his straight face serious, and said: "What I can't understand is what the robbers are after.
Wu Wu's ancestral home is in Wanghai, he doesn't have many close relatives, and he's struggling financially. He makes a living driving a motorcycle taxi. Last month, his motorcycle was impounded for illegally parking. He's left with no income and is saddled with debts. "This guy kidnapped a middle school girl from a wealthy family, so I think any amount he asks for is reasonable."
