"It's like this, I just received news that things are looking up with my son. I'm in a hurry to go check on him, so I left before you got back. Don't worry, it's not far, I'll be there quickly..."
"Really?" Before Old Chen could finish speaking, Zhou Chunhua excitedly interrupted, "That's wonderful! This is fantastic news! Hurry up and go, don't delay!"
Having had the same experience, she understood even more how important this moment was to them.
Over the years, even though Old Chen has traveled almost all over the country and received tens of thousands of phone calls, very few of them were actually related to his son.
That's why he was able to find his son along with Nini's trail while searching for Nini.
Now that's good, there's finally news!
Zhou Chunhua choked up as she said, "Old Chen, if you need any help, just give me a call. Have a safe journey, and I'll be waiting for your good news."
As the words fell, a low, hoarse sob came from the phone.
She quickly comforted him, "Don't cry! You should smile and be happy. Remember, people who like to smile have good luck."
“Okay! I’ll go there, and then I’ll head to Nini’s place. I’ve calculated it, there’s enough time. Chunhua, you can rest assured and wait for me in Jiang City, I will definitely bring the children back.”
"Mmm," Zhou Chunhua replied immediately.
Old Chen was investigating the criminal's trail, while she was searching for the long-distance bus station in Jiang City. More routes meant more hope.
After hanging up the phone, a chat window popped up on WeChat; it was the third group for finding missing relatives.
These WeChat groups for finding missing children were added to her by Lao Chen after her divorce from Liao Nanxing.
The group members are all families or individuals whose children have gone missing.
While searching for their own children, everyone took photos of any suspicious children they saw on the street and posted them in the group chat.
Because they believe that many hands make light work.
While helping others, you may also be helped by others.
However, Zhou Chunhua frowned deeply after reading the message.
The screen displayed a notification from the group admin saying that Liu Wenzhong and his wife had left the group.
In the short few months since joining the group, some new people have joined, but many more have quietly left.
If you can no longer abide by the rules in the group, simply inform the group admin and then leave the group.
The group admin will announce the names of those who leave the group to everyone.
Whenever the group admin issues such an announcement, the group becomes unusually quiet.
Because every time someone leaves the group, it's a test for everyone else.
The search for a lost child is like being in a dark cave; not being able to see what's ahead isn't the most terrifying part.
What's most frightening about this road is that you don't know when you'll find the exit.
Therefore, it is understandable that some people could not persevere and chose to turn back.
But every time someone turns away, the companions' faith wavers.
So everyone remains silent during such times.
When I first joined the group, Lao Chen said that in times like these, you can only process your frustration and negative emotions on your own.
This feeling is like having a scabbed wound forcibly torn open, but you can't cry out in pain; you can only quietly lick your wound and wait for it to scab over again.
So the group admin set a rule: at times like these, people are not allowed to vent negative emotions in the group.
Zhou Chunhua looked at the setting sun outside the French windows...
This time, she broke her silence.
I firmly believe that the children are somewhere waiting for us to take them home.
He sent it, put down his phone, and straightened his collar.
However, my phone started ringing with WeChat notification sounds.
When she opened her phone again, the screen was filled with her previous words.
As I watched the names of my fellow group members scroll by, a sense of conviction rose from the bottom of my heart.
She put down her phone, turned on her mobile phone, and began to collect all the information about the Pujiang Road Long-Distance Bus Station.
If Su Mu really gets involved, then this time, she will personally send her to where she belongs!
While Zhou Chunhua was still engrossed in information gathering late at night, a video was slowly climbing to the top of the trending search list.
The video is set in a hospital, with Liao Nanxing in a hospital gown on a hospital bed.
With a full head of white hair, bloodshot eyes, and a haggard expression, he admitted that Chen Xiaoyu's bullying at school was partly related to his dereliction of duty, and that the whole incident was his personal behavior and that the school was unaware of it.
Then he began to beg for forgiveness from Chen Xiaoyu's family and produced his medical diagnosis, which stated that he had severe depression.
He said he was filled with deep remorse because of this incident. He also said he regretted his actions day and night.
He was even willing to take responsibility, just so that the deceased could rest in peace.
As a result, the online sentiment immediately reversed.
They no longer condemned Liao Nanxing for being unworthy of being a teacher, but said they sensed his deep remorse at that moment.
Some people say he is a responsible and accountable teacher; otherwise, he wouldn't be so consumed by self-blame.
What's even more incomprehensible is that some people say Liao Nanxing has already admitted his mistakes and deserves to be forgiven.
As more and more people sided with Liao Nanxing, Jiangda University also issued an announcement.
They said they would reinvestigate Chen Xiaoyu's past experiences and provide some compensation to Chen Xiaoyu's family.
Then, less than a day later, Jiangda University issued a situation report.
The incident of Chen Xiaoyu being bullied was briefly explained, and Liao Nanxing was given the punishment of expulsion from the Party, removal from his professorship, and cancellation of his postgraduate supervisor qualification.
When Zhou Chunhua, who had stayed up all night, saw this trending topic, she was stunned.
Because this means that Liao Nanxing's former glory and the halo he was so proud of will no longer exist.
In other words, he worked hard all his life, only to find it was all just a mirage.
Seeing this, Zhou Chunhua couldn't feel happy at all.
After all, a vibrant life was lost, a strong mother was lost, and a family was lost.
In her worldview, Liao Nanxing and the criminals who abducted Nini were essentially no different!
To her, they are all executioners.
I turned off the computer, put away the printed documents, stretched, and washed my face and brushed my teeth.
Today is her last day at the law firm. After today, she will devote herself entirely to finding clues about Nini.
After applying thick concealer to her dark circles and carefully dressing up, she was about to leave when she received a message from Gu Yao.
I'll be waiting for you in the parking lot.
...
At the same time, at the hospital.
Standing by the window, Liao Nanxing stared blankly at the bustling traffic on the road.
He didn't come to his senses until his phone rang.
Seeing the caller ID, a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes.
"teacher."
At this moment, Liao Nanxing was like an eagle with broken wings, having lost his former arrogance.
