A single glance jolted Chen Guodong awake from his reverie. He froze, then pulled Gu Sinian outside. Sun Youde, seeing that the two had left, followed them to take a look.
Are human traffickers really this brazen these days, robbing women in the street?
Could his son have also been kidnapped by human traffickers?
Thinking about it carefully, it seems unlikely. A tractor is more important than his son's life, isn't it?
But someone didn't want the tractor; instead, they took his good-for-nothing son away.
He's not handsome when he grows up, but he's passable... He has a wife and a son, but he doesn't have many redeeming qualities.
Sun Youde's brain was practically turned to mush; he couldn't understand all these twists and turns.
Now I understand why everyone on duty at the police station has thinning hair; it turns out they're all worried.
They then went to the police station, where a couple knelt down and cried their hearts out, tears streaming down their faces as if they didn't care about money.
"Officers, please come quickly! My daughter has been snatched away in the street!"
Chen Guodong stepped forward anxiously, "Have you seen any of their physical features?"
The couple shook their heads in unison, "We didn't see them. They were all wearing black hoods, so we couldn't see their faces at all."
Chen Guodong thought he had found a breakthrough in the case, but to his surprise, it was still stuck in the same place.
"How could this happen? When your daughter was abducted... approximately how long ago was that?"
When the woman saw her daughter being snatched, she was so anxious that she couldn't possibly be looking at her watch.
"I don't know. I was just focused on chasing my daughter and didn't notice what time it was."
The man beside her answered calmly, "It was about 35 to 40 minutes after our daughter was arrested, no more than five minutes apart."
With the confirmation, the gloom on Chen Guodong's face lessened considerably.
"That makes things easier. With a specific time, we can pinpoint the approximate location of the target."
Gu Sinian felt that this method was feasible, but it was too manpower-intensive, and even if they waited for someone to come to them, they might not be able to find anyone.
He still suspected that the two people he met on the black market were not good people.
After all, seeing that someone is useful, they want to keep them around, completely disregarding Chinese law.
They must have someone backing them up.
But his baseless speculation...without any evidence...Captain Chen certainly wouldn't believe it and would still investigate the case using his usual methods.
Although the military and police are one family, they have always kept to themselves and have their own things to do, so he shouldn't interfere too much during his leave.
Let's wait until things develop before he gets involved. It's not appropriate for him to interfere too much now without evidence.
His idea was that criminals wanted not only men, but also women.
What exactly are they trying to do?
What's the point of arresting so many people?
"Sister, is your daughter in good health?"
The older woman kneeling on the ground was stunned, then looked up at him in surprise, "How did you know?"
"Just a guess."
The older sister didn't believe he was guessing. Her daughter had never met the man in front of her, let alone had any interaction with him. How could he possibly know that her daughter was in good health?
This was very strange. Forgetting all her sadness, she stood up straight and grabbed Gu Sinian's hand, refusing to let go.
"Tell me honestly, how do you know my daughter is in good health?"
Gu Sinian sighed, "Didn't I just say it was a guess? Why won't you believe me?"
"I don't believe you. Explain yourself, or you're not leaving here tonight."
Chen Guodong was also taken aback. How did Commander Gu know that the eldest sister's missing daughter was in good health? He wanted to know too.
"Commander Gu, why don't you tell me how you guessed that this lady's daughter was in good health?"
Upon hearing that the other party was the regimental commander, the eldest sister realized that her previous suspicions about him were completely unfounded.
It turned out the other person was a soldier. How could a soldier be a bad person? She was just overthinking it.
"Because my missing brother was also in good health, I guess their target is someone with excellent physical fitness."
“We soldiers are different from you police officers; the dark side we see is different from yours.”
"So I guess the other party is looking for people in good physical condition. Instead of searching for people like looking for a needle in a haystack, Captain Chen would be better off asking around for people in good physical condition and protecting them."
"Luring the snake out of its hole... is better than catching it. Which is easier? I don't need to tell you, do I?"
Chen Guodong suddenly understood Gu Sinian's meaning, and their eyes met in the air.
Thank you for your guidance.
"Let's make a good plan. We need to head back now; it's too late."
Chen Guodong nodded. "Okay. Take care."
Gu Sinian, who had walked halfway, suddenly turned around and said something to Chen Guodong.
"By the way. It's too late now, so we'll drive the tractor back. We'll leave the oxcart here with you for the night, and I'll bring a young man over tomorrow morning to drive it back."
"Sure. You can come tomorrow."
"Thanks."
The next day.
Gu Sinian was preparing to deliver goods. In Liushu Village, besides Sun Xuelin, only he knew how to drive a tractor, so he was the only one who could deliver the goods for now.
Su Ying insisted on going no matter what. Last night before bed, she talked with her daughter for a long time and mentioned the child's precognitive dreams again.
Xiao Bao said they were all dead, and she felt very panicked. She had a feeling that Sun Xuelin had disappeared this time, and if she didn't go today, they might not be able to come back.
She didn't know what was wrong with her either.
Today, for some inexplicable reason, I wanted to go along.
"Stop joking. Your baby is still small and hasn't passed the critical period yet. Why would you come with me? I'm just going to deliver goods; there's nothing dangerous about it."
Su Ying didn't believe the man's explanation. "Sun Xuelin's unexplained disappearance shouldn't be a coincidence. I'm afraid someone might be targeting you."
"Didn't you say that they only target healthy and strong people? You're obviously their type, I'm worried about you, you have to take me with you if you want to go out."
Gu Sinian sighed helplessly, "Behave yourself. I'm just going into town today to deliver goods and bring back yesterday's oxcart."
"The back seat is full of goods, how are other people supposed to sit there?"
The young man was very perceptive. "I'll just squeeze in with the goods, and Su Zhiqing can sit next to you."
Su Ying thanked the young man and straddled him.
Gu Sinian sighed and shifted his weight to the side. "Sit still."
"You agree to let me go with you?"
"Now that you're up here, do you still need my permission?"
Su Ying had an "I knew it" look on her face, while the man's face was very sour, he was definitely angry.
"Don't be angry. I just came along because I was worried about you going to the county town."
Gu Sinian turned to look at Su Ying, "With you here, wouldn't I have even less chance of winning if there's danger?"
"But don't forget, I have a spatial ability, which can save my life in case of danger."
