Chapter 78 Your Mother Wasn’t Lost at All
"I'm Yuan Chun, may I ask who you are?"
Yuan Chun asked doubtfully.
"Hello, Master Yuan! My name is Zeng Qianxiu. My mother's name is Xu Fenglan. She's lost, and I'd like you to help me figure out where she is now!"
Zeng Qianxiu's brows were tightly furrowed, and she kept stomping her feet back and forth, obviously very anxious.
"Ms. Zeng, please don't be anxious. Explain the situation clearly first. How did your mother get lost? Didn't you call the police?"
Yuan Chun raised his hand to signal Zeng Qianxiu to calm down first.
Zeng Qianxiu nodded, took a deep breath and continued:
"Master, I married and moved to another place a few years ago. My mother has poor legs and feet and suffers from Alzheimer's disease, so I left her in the care of my brother back home. As compensation, I send living expenses to my family every month."
"Everything was fine, but a week ago my brother suddenly found me and told me that my mother had gone missing. I rushed back without hesitation. My brother called the police a long time ago, but there has been no news since then!"
"I had no other choice but to find out about this, Master. I'd like to ask for your help!"
Yuan Chun nodded upon hearing this:
"You have a photo of your mother, right?"
“Yes, yes!”
Zeng Qianxiu quickly took out her cell phone and pulled up a photo of her mother, an elderly woman with gray hair and a kind face.
"Wait a moment."
Yuan Chun narrowed his eyes slightly, and started to deduce the old man's past experiences by running the secret book of heaven in his mind.
"asshole!"
After a moment, Yuan Chun's eyes flashed coldly and he slammed his palm on the table.
"What's wrong, Master? What did you calculate?"
Yuan Chun’s reaction surprised Zeng Qianxiu.
Yuan Chun's expression changed as he thought about how to talk to Zeng Qianxiu.
"Your mother is at your brother's house now."
"At my brother's house?! How is that possible?! Was she found by my brother?"
Zeng Qianxiu was overjoyed.
"It's not that she was found, it's that she has been at your brother's house the whole time..."
"What? I don't understand what you mean, Master..."
Zeng Qianxiu blinked, looking confused.
"Come in the car with me first, we'll talk on the way."
After saying that, Yuan Chun asked Zeng Qianxiu to get in the car and drove quickly towards Zeng Qianxiu's brother's house.
"Call the police and have them go to your brother's house too."
After getting in the car, Yuan Chun said.
"good..."
Zeng Qianxiu looked at Yuan Chun's serious expression and notified the police without much hesitation.
"Master, please tell me what is going on here?"
After hanging up the phone, Zeng Qianxiu couldn't wait to ask.
"Your mother was never missing. This was all a hoax staged by your brother. Your mother has been in the cellar in your brother's yard the entire time."
Yuan Chun said.
"What?! In the cellar?! The cellar is always cold and gloomy even when it's the hottest. My mom is in such poor health and has been in the cellar all these days? What's going on? How is she? Is there anything wrong?"
Zeng Qianxiu's brain buzzed as if it had exploded when she heard this, and she asked Yuan Chun incoherent questions.
"Your mother has been in the cellar for nearly a week without food or water, suffering from hunger and cold. Her already weak body couldn't bear it at all. She's already... she's gone..."
Yuan Chun sighed and spoke with difficulty.
"My mother...she...died?"
Zeng Qianxiu was suddenly struck by lightning, her face was stunned, and she couldn't believe her ears.
"He's been dead for two days."
Yuan Chun nodded.
“Why…how could this happen…how could this happen!?”
Zeng Qianxiu grabbed her hair with both hands and screamed heart-wrenchingly.
Seeing Zeng Qianxiu's collapsed appearance, Yuan Chun couldn't help but feel his heart churning. He then stepped on the accelerator and rushed towards the destination as fast as possible.
Soon, Yuan Chun drove to a small town and stopped at the door of Zeng Qianxiu's brother, Zeng Hongwei's house.
As soon as the car stopped, two police cars came roaring from behind.
"Hello, Ms. Zeng. I'm Liang Xin, the person in charge of this missing persons case. You just called and said your mother was at home. What's going on?"
A tall and thin male police officer asked.
However, Zeng Qianxiu was in no mood to answer any questions. She got out of the car and rushed into the gate like crazy.
"This is......"
Liang Xin was a little confused.
"Officer Liang, you'll know what's going on once you go in."
After that, several policemen followed Yuan Chun in.
......
At this time, Zeng Hongwei, who heard the sound, walked out of the house in the yard.
"Little sister, why are you back? I have some clues about our mother..."
“Get out of here!!”
Before Zeng Hongwei could finish his words, Zeng Qianxiu suddenly pushed him away and ran straight to the cellar.
Zeng Hongwei's face suddenly changed when he saw this, and he immediately rushed over to stop Zeng Qianxiu!
However, just as he took a step forward, a heavy and powerful hand suddenly pressed on his shoulder.
"Mr. Zeng, why are you panicking? We are all here to help you find your mother."
Zeng Hongwei turned his head, and Yuan Chun's half-smile face suddenly appeared ten centimeters in front of him.
"You... who are you? What are you doing in my house? Let me go!!"
Zeng Hongwei tried desperately to break free, but Yuan Chun's hands were like cast on Zeng Hongwei's shoulders, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move an inch!
"Don't move, just stay still."
Yuan Chun snorted coldly, his words full of unquestionable tone.
At that time, Zeng Qianxiu came to the entrance of the cellar and opened the door. Her mother Xu Fenglan suddenly appeared in front of her. She was tied up in the dark cellar with a towel stuffed in her mouth!
"mom!!!"
Zeng Qianxiu let out a shrill roar and then jumped down.
"The rest of you, follow Ms. Zeng down! The rest of you, restrain Zeng Hongwei!"
"yes!"
Liang Xin's face changed when he saw this. He immediately gave an order and then dialed the emergency center himself.
"Mr. Zeng, can you explain what's going on?"
Liang Xin frowned and asked seriously.
“This…this…this…I don’t know…I don’t know…”
Zeng Hongwei's face was pale at this moment, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat!
His legs were shaking so much that he couldn't even stand. If the two police officers hadn't supported him, he would have collapsed to the ground.
"You didn't know?! Your mother was imprisoned in the cellar of your house, and you lied about her disappearance. Now you tell me you didn't know?"
Liang Xin narrowed his eyes and stared at Zeng Hongwei, as if he wanted to see through him.
While Liang Xin was questioning Zeng Hongwei, several police officers untied the ropes on Xu Fenglan and carefully lifted her out.
"Team Leader... the old man is no longer breathing. He must have passed away a while ago..."
A police officer reported in a low voice.
"knew..."
Liang Xin rubbed his face vigorously and sighed.
At the same time, Zeng Qianxiu rushed towards Zeng Hongwei like crazy with disheveled hair!
