Brother, Da Huang... those are the few warm memories in Lin Jinghui's life. As these two words came out of the mouth of the little girl in front of him, the image of himself as a child at that time suddenly emerged in his mind.
At that time, I lived in the countryside, and I was carefree every day. The most important thing every day was to look forward to my brother saying that he would take me and Da Huang to play somewhere today...
Lin Jinghui paused and looked at the little girl in front of him who was only three or four years old and knew nothing.
This is a harmless, lovable little life. The other party has no idea who they are and may even have post-traumatic stress disorder after experiencing this incident. They don't remember any of them at all and only regard everything as a nightmare.
Lin Jinghui, whose hands were filled with the lives of many adults, suddenly had a rare moment of softness.
People like him don't actually have much sympathy for the weak, but Wei Lan at this moment reminded him of himself back then. No matter how cold a person is, they will still have a hint of warmth when treating "him".
The other three people were also slightly moved when they saw Wei Lan, but it was just like seeing a kitten or a puppy on the street. They just sighed at the pity in their hearts, but they were not moved to take the initiative to help.
This is also the reason why Wei Lan finally chose the most indifferent-looking man as the entry point after checking the memories of the three people.
Because from his performance just now, this man has very strong execution ability. He and the man with glasses have the most say in the entire team. In comparison, the warm moments in his life are most suitable for her as an entry point.
'Ding! Congratulations to the host for gaining Lin Jinghui's favor, increase your points by 5!'
Wei Lan heard a long-lost system prompt.
In addition, Wei Lan discovered that a seemingly useless function of the system could play an unexpected role.
That is the favorability gained through face-to-face contact with the person. The system can read the person's real name.
If this happened on an ordinary day, knowing a person's real name might be of little use, but in real life, especially in the situation where Wei Lan is kidnapped, these people hide their identities in order to avoid being discovered. If she knows these people's real names, and if she can escape in the end, she can tell the police these people's names, which can play a big role in the investigation.
But everything depends on how much effect these five points of favorability can have.
Seeing Lin Jinghui stopped moving, Xiaoliu asked, "Second brother, how do we deal with her?"
Wei Lan has a cute appearance. Such a delicate and pretty girl was caught by them by accident. It is hard to bear to punish her harshly now. However, since they have been given the order by their superiors, they dare not disobey. At most, they will feel uncomfortable for a while.
The man with glasses sighed and said, "Why not send it to the laboratory? What they need most is people."
When the laboratory was mentioned, the other three people present felt an uncomfortable chill in their hearts. What was lacking there was not "people", but human experiment materials.
Lin Jinghui couldn't imagine what would happen to Wei Lan if he really sent her to the laboratory.
They actually didn't know much about the laboratory. After sending people in, they had never seen anyone come out. He caught a glimpse of the experimental subjects they were discarding for incineration when he was sending people there one time.
At that time, the wind blew up a corner of the blue cloth, and he only saw a hand. It was a hand that looked like a layer of skin wrapped around bones. Lin Jinghui had a nightmare when he returned home that day.
Not everyone can remain indifferent when seeing biochemical scenes similar to those in movies in real life.
Lin Jinghui frowned and looked at the man with glasses, feeling a little uncomfortable: "You think so much about them, do you want to get a job in the laboratory?"
If Wei Lan was really sent in, he could hardly imagine what would happen...
After being blocked, the man with glasses didn't dare to continue the conversation, lest he make others uncomfortable. He just shrugged and said, "I just think out of sight, out of mind. Isn't it better to leave it to them than to do it ourselves? Anyway, those researchers are much more ruthless than us..."
This made several people silent. Yes, in their situation, they definitely couldn't let Wei Lan be found by her family. Although she was young, there was a risk of their identities being exposed through her. However, if they really wanted to kill her directly, they would still hesitate.
After a moment of silence, Xiao Liu gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go, find a high place to throw it down, and the rest of the life and death will be up to fate."
When Wei Lan heard this, she was extremely nervous, but she did not cry. Instead, she pretended not to understand. She just opened her tearful face and looked around at everyone in the car one by one, like a confused puppy, wondering why they all suddenly became quiet.
Compared to the crying and frightened look when he knew everything, Wei Lan's look of 'I will be good and obedient and you have to treat me well' is the most heartwarming.
As a director, she understands the audience's psychology better than the audience themselves. Now these people are her audience. She must not only play the role of "actor" well, but also stand in the role of "director", arrange the script temporarily, and in this scene, arouse the sympathy of these desperadoes to the greatest extent.
This may be the most dangerous scene she has ever filmed in her life.
There is no chance to start over. If you take a wrong step, there is no recovery.
'Ding! Congratulations to the host for gaining Yu Zhi Favorability, increase the score by 3!'
'Ding! Congratulations to the host for gaining Liao Kang's favor, increase your score by 1!'
'Ding! Congratulations to the host for gaining Zhao Changhe's favor, increase your points by 2!'
Fortunately, Wei Lan's script was not filmed wrong. On the contrary, the favorability of "Xiao Liu" Yu Zhi increased the most, while the bespectacled man Liao Kang had the least. The driver also contributed two points.
But these are not the big guys. Wei Lan looked at everyone's memories and finally chose Lin Jinghui because she saw from a series of events that had happened before that this person was the one who made the decisions in this gang.
"We..." Lin Jinghui looked at Wei Lan, pondered for a while, and finally exhaled: "We sell her to a remote place."
As he spoke, he looked at Yu Zhi and directly ordered: "Xiao Liu, contact Mrs. Zhu."
After hearing this, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief. This decision saved them from having to bear the guilt of killing young children, and they would not have to bear any responsibility if their superiors investigated.
This was the best solution Lin Jinghui could think of at this time, because it touched upon the warm memories deep in his heart. He did not have the heart to kill Wei Lan, but he could not let Wei Lan be rescued by the police. He simply sold her. Even if her fate was uncertain, at least she survived. What would happen to her in the future would depend on her fate.
Liao Kang laughed happily: "It's just right. We can all share some money after selling it. Just tell Mrs. Zhu to sell it far away."
I don't know whether he was happy that he didn't have to kill anyone or that he had money to share.
The other two also nodded after hearing this, this was indeed the best solution at the moment.
Wei Lan also felt relieved. This was the most desired result of everything she had done before.
Even though being sold to human traffickers is an equally dangerous path, it is much better than falling into the hands of this group of people. In the hands of human traffickers, she is a valuable commodity, but to these people, she is a burden that needs to be quickly discarded. The most terrifying thing for a person is not being used, but having no value to be used.
Moreover, compared with these criminals with strong planned anti-reconnaissance capabilities, human traffickers have more opportunities to contact the outside world. Many children are abducted because they are ignorant of everything around them and do not know how to ask for help. Wei Lan, however, has the thinking of an adult. In the hands of human traffickers, her chances of being rescued are much greater.
…
On the other side, in the police station, Wei Mingjie and his wife, the person involved, Lao Wang, and Ye Jingran were all there.
Ren Liang, the leader of the special case team, is a man in his forties with a resolute face. "Because you are all parties involved, we are revealing these details of the case. We hope that you will not contact the outside world for the time being before the case is solved. The most precious time for being kidnapped is these first 48 hours..."
"You are the people who know Wei Lan best right now. I hope you can help us analyze her current situation based on your understanding of her so that we can find her faster."
"At present, we have basically ruled out that the kidnappers' target is your 'second child' Wei Lan, but Director Wei Lan. Has she offended anyone recently?"
Ye Jingran has the most say in this regard: "Lanlan is very low-key at work and gets along well with her colleagues. It has always been like this. All the staff I know like her very much. If she offends anyone, it is only those who are blocked by her..."
Wei Mingjie was anxious, his eyes bloodshot. "I can't think of anyone else except Chengguang! How much has Lanlan's movie caused Chengguang's stock price to drop? They are desperate. Aren't you investigating their situation?"
"Mr. Wei, calm down. We understand how you feel, but we are investigating now. We must first rule out other possibilities. Otherwise, the direction of the investigation will be misjudged, and the golden time for saving people will be wasted!" Ren Liang said in a deep voice, not affected by Wei Mingjie's emotions.
Ye Luoxue patted Wei Mingjie's hand. As a mother, she was exceptionally calm and strong at this moment. She looked at Ren Liang with red eyes.
"We understand. Please continue to ask."
…
At two or three in the morning, in a small alley near the H City South Railway Station, Wei Lan was handed over to a sturdy woman with a simple look.
This person is the one they call Mrs. Zhu.
"Wow, what a pretty girl!" Mrs. Zhu continued to look at Wei Lan's little face in the dim light, as if she was looking at an exquisite and high-quality product.
Wei Lan was also a little sleepy at this time, with drooping eyelids, but he didn't cry or make a fuss, and remained quiet. Seeing this, Mrs. Zhu felt more relieved, and she signaled a slightly hunchbacked man beside her to give the money to the four people.
After getting the money, Lin Jinghui threw it to Yu Zhi, who quickly counted the money and nodded to him.
"That's it."
One hand handed over the money and the other hand handed over the goods, both of whom were walking in the dark. After the transaction was reached, both parties turned around and left from both ends of the alley.
Before leaving, Lin Jinghui turned his head and glanced at the little person held in Mrs. Zhu's arms.
When I turned around and left again, it seemed as if the scenes of my brother and Da Huang in my childhood had faded away...
