Ran Xia: “…”
She never expected that Zhan Beiyao in his previous life would die in such a trap?
It was such an unjust death!
But why did the master trick Zhan Beiyao, who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, to come to Nancheng?
Can killing Zhan Beiyao relieve the hatred in my master's heart?
Thinking of this, the woman withdrew her thoughts and smiled faintly at Zhan Beiyao: "Let's go, let's go find someone to ask about Li Xinyu."
An old man happened to pass by carrying a load on his shoulder. Ran Xia immediately stepped forward, took out a photo of Li Xinyu from forty years ago, and asked with a smile, "Old man, do you know this person?"
When the old man saw the photo in Ran Xia's hand, his eyes widened in surprise: "Isn't this Miss Xinyu from our village?"
At this point, he sighed: "She and I used to be classmates. After graduating from junior high school, she went to the city to develop her career. Since then, I haven't seen her again."
Ran Xia didn't expect to find the right person so quickly, and immediately took advantage of the situation and asked, "Uncle, this is the case. We want to come here to learn about Li Xinyu's family situation. Can you tell me about it?"
"Li Xinyu moved here with her mother. After she graduated from junior high school, her mother became seriously ill. She went to the city to work and earn money for her mother's medical treatment, but her mother later passed away. Since then, Li Xinyu has never returned here, and I don't know anything else about her situation."
Ran Xia quickly asked, "Excuse me, is the house where Li Xinyu lived forty years ago still there?"
The old man waved his hand and said, "That mud house collapsed a long time ago."
Upon hearing this, Ran Xia frowned fiercely.
Is it really that there are no clues at all?
Zhan Beiyao also came forward at this time and asked, "Old man, this is what happened. We are looking for Li Xinyu for something very important. Does Li Xinyu have any other family members or friends living here?"
"Li Xinyu has no family other than her old mother."
The old man thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Oh, I remember now. Li Xinyu had a very good friend back then. They were often together. Her friend lived on the hill next door. If you want to know more about her, you can go ask her friend."
Ran Xia quickly asked, "Uncle, can you tell me the address of Li Xinyu's best friend?"
The old man nodded: "Okay."
…
Five o'clock in the afternoon.
Yi Tangchen and Lieyan went to Jiangcheng Kindergarten early to pick up Xiao Donglin together.
When the two arrived at the kindergarten gate, it was the peak time for school to be dismissed.
Lieyan couldn't help but smile: "This is the first time I come to the kindergarten so early to pick up Donglin from school. He must be surprised to see me, right?"
"You are really not a competent mother." Yi Tangchen gave Lieyan a cold look.
Lieyan glared back in displeasure: "Yi Tangchen, how dare you say that to me? If you hadn't left without saying goodbye, would this have happened?"
Yi Tangchen immediately hugged the woman in his arms: "It's my fault. I promise to pick up Donglin on time next time."
"Donglin's teacher has come out with the children!" At this moment, Lieyan pointed out the window in surprise: "I'll go downstairs to pick up Donglin."
Yi Tangchen held the woman's hand and said, "Let's go together."
As the two of them got out of the car and walked over, Li Muchen, a child who was waiting in line for his parents to pick him up, suddenly called out, "Donglin Dad, why are you here?"
Yi Tangchen immediately walked over, squatted down and said with a smile: "Little Mu Chen, we are here to pick up Donglin."
Having said that, he glanced around and didn't see Donglin. He couldn't help but feel curious: "By the way, where's Donglin? Why didn't he come out with you?"
At this time, Teacher Fang, who was organizing the children to line up, walked over with a smile and said, "Hello, are you Donglin's father?"
"Hello, I'm Donglin's father." Yi Tangchen immediately stood up and responded very politely.
Lieyan also came over at this time, "Hello, Teacher Fang, we have been troubled by you taking care of Donglin all this time. Now that Donglin's father is back, we won't pick him up so late anymore."
When Teacher Fang saw the handsome Yi Tangchen, she immediately showed a crazy expression: "It's okay, Donglin's mother, Donglin is a good child. If you don't have time, I'm happy to help take care of him."
"By the way, where is Donglin? Is he still playing in the classroom?" Lieyan asked subconsciously.
Teacher Fang also showed a surprised expression: "Donglin's mother, I was just about to ask you, didn't Mr. Zhan's people take Donglin away an hour ago?"
"What did you say?" Lie Yan frowned when he heard this: "Master Zhan sent someone to pick up Dong Lin in an hour?"
"Yes." Teacher Fang said with a smile, "And I also received a call from Master Zhan, saying that he needs to pick Donglin up early today because of something."
A bad premonition suddenly arose in Lieyan's heart.
How could Mr. Zhan pick up Donglin in advance?
Even if Mr. Zhan wants to pick up Donglin, he will call me, right?
Teacher Fang seemed worried that Lieyan wouldn't believe her, so she took out her phone and opened the call log. "Donglin's mother, could you please check if this number belongs to Master Zhan?"
Lieyan glanced at the phone and found that it was indeed Mr. Zhan’s phone number.
only……
When Yi Tangchen realized something was wrong, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "Lieyan, what's wrong?"
"The teacher said that Master Zhan picked up Donglin an hour ago." Lieyan's face gradually turned ugly: "Although I usually ask Master Zhan to help pick up Donglin, it's impossible today."
Yi Tangchen comforted her, "Wife, don't worry, call Master Zhan first to ask about the situation."
…
at the same time.
Zhan Beiyao and Ran Xia have arrived at the address of Li Xinyu's best friend provided by the old man.
It was in front of an old red brick house.
As soon as I got off the bus, my cell phone rang.
The man picked up the phone and saw that it was Lieyan calling. He immediately pressed the answer button: "Lieyan, what's the matter?"
"Mr. Zhan, where are you now?" Lie Yan's somewhat anxious voice came from the phone.
"Ran Xia and I are doing some business in Nancheng. What's wrong?" Zhan Beiyao asked curiously.
"No, it's okay, Mr. Zhan, you go ahead and do your work first." Lieyan on the other end of the phone hung up without asking any more questions.
"Is there something urgent that Lieyan wants to talk to you about?" Ran Xia asked with a frown.
Zhan Beiyao frowned: "Well, Lieyan looks like she has something urgent to do, but I believe she can handle it. Let's go find someone first."
Just as the two were about to go to the red brick house in front of them and knock on the door, the door suddenly opened.
An old woman in her seventies walked out.
"Hello, old lady."
Ran Xia walked forward and asked politely, "Can I ask you something?"
