Xia Chujian's mind raced as she said calmly, "Not every woman would have the courage to call the police in this situation. That's my neighbor, and he's been beating her for over a decade."
Zong Ruoan looked at her deeply and said, "That's right, this kind of thing probably won't happen to you."
Xia Chujian said confidently: "Colonel Zong has a keen eye. The man who dares to treat me like this, his family burns incense for him every year."
Zong Ruoan laughed, shook his head and said, "I usually don't mind my own business, but if I encounter this, I would be derelict in my duty if I don't."
"You are not an official of the Disciplinary Department, what does it have to do with you?" Xia Chujian was a little nervous and worried that Zong Ruoan would intervene.
Zong Ruoan put away his smile, walked over to Zhu Bangxiong and Aunt Chen, and said, "You just said your daughter is missing? How old is your daughter?"
Aunt Chen looked up and saw Zong Ruoan. She immediately wiped her tears, stood up from the ground and said, "Who are you? Can you help us?"
Seeing Zong Ruoan's extraordinary demeanor, Zhu Bangxiong didn't dare to continue beating Aunt Chen. He burped and said drunkenly, "It's...none of your business!"
Xia Chujian hurried over and shouted to Zhu Bangxiong, "Mr. Zhu, you dare to scold Colonel Zong from the Special Security Bureau? Are you drunk so early in the morning?"
When Zhu Bangxiong heard the words "Special Security Bureau", he sobered up immediately.
His expression changed instantly, becoming one of flattery and fawning. He even extended his hand towards Zong Ruoan and said, "Are you the head of the Special Security Bureau? Nice to meet you!"
Zong Ruoan slowly put his hands into his trouser pockets, ignoring Zhu Bangxiong. Instead, he continued to look at Aunt Chen and said, "I just asked, is your daughter missing? How old is she?"
Aunt Chen sobbed and said, "My daughter is eighteen years old. It was her first time meeting her classmate. After school yesterday, she didn't go home..."
Xia Chujian didn't dare to wink at her, but just asked curiously, "Aunt Chen, are you looking for Yingying? What happened to her? Is she missing?"
Aunt Chen took over her conversation and started crying again, saying, "Chubian, you and Yingying are classmates. Let me ask you, did you see Yingying after school yesterday? Do you know where she went?"
Xia Chujian widened his eyes: "She hasn't come back yet?!"
Zhu Bangxiong and Aunt Chen asked in unison, "Do you know where she went?"
Xia Chujian looked at Zong Ruoan uneasily, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
Seeing that it was Xia Chujian's classmate, Zong Ruoan nodded and said, "I happen to be free today, I can help you look for it."
Xia Chujian showed a happy expression, pulled Aunt Chen's arm, and said, "Aunt Chen, this is great! Colonel Zong is from the Special Security Bureau, so finding him will be a piece of cake!"
Aunt Chen thanked Zong Ruoan taciturnly, then looked at Xia Chujian hopefully and said, "Chujian, do you know where Yingying went?"
Xia Chujian sighed and said, "Yesterday afternoon after school, Yingying was supposed to go home with me, but a girl from the next class called her over and asked her to go with her to 'see the world.'"
Zhu Bangxiong came to his senses and immediately asked, "See the world? What do you mean by seeing the world?"
Xia Chujian said, "I don't know the details either. Yingying left in a hurry, saying she was going to a private club. That classmate said she wanted to... said she wanted to..."
She glanced at Zhu Bangxiong, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.
Zhu Bangxiong glared at her: "Hurry up and tell me! Otherwise I'll sue you for keeping the truth to yourself!"
Xia Chujian: “…”
Her face turned cold, and she curled her lips and said, "Then I won't say anything. Your daughter Yingying is already eighteen years old and has freedom of movement. Where she wants to go is none of my business."
"You--!" Seeing this, Zhu Bangxiong habitually raised his hand and was about to slap Xia Chujian.
He was used to beating women at home and looked down on women in normal times. Especially when he was drunk, he naturally couldn't control himself.
Of course Xia Chujian wouldn't let him hit her.
But before she could dodge, Zong Ruoan had already grabbed Zhu Bangxiong's arm and said coldly, "How dare you attack a minor? Do you want to go to jail?"
Zong Ruoan used his mental power slightly, and Zhu Bangxiong rolled his eyes and was knocked unconscious by his mental power.
Zong Ruoan let go of his hand, and Zhu Bangxiong fell heavily to the ground like a heavy object.
Aunt Chen looked timid and pleaded with Zong Ruoan, "Master, please be magnanimous! Let my husband go! He was drunk and he's not like this normally..."
"Aunt Chen! Mr. Zhu is always like this! Even if he is not drunk!" Xia Chujian said indignantly.
Aunt Chen wiped her tears and lowered her head and said, "Chu Jian, just tell me, where did my Yingying go?"
Xia Chujian sighed and said, "I'm really not sure. Yingying just told me that Fantani from the next class said she wanted to introduce her to a boyfriend and take her to a private club called 'Yu'."
"That person's name is Fantani? Do you know her contact information?" Aunt Chen asked quickly.
