"Could you follow up with Wu Jing for me this afternoon?" Then she told her about the phone call she had that morning and the things she had been wondering about.
To her surprise, Gu Yao was exceptionally agreeable; she agreed as soon as she finished speaking.
They said they'd be right there.
After hanging up the phone, she felt relieved.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
It's important to know that from the moment she approached Wu Jing, Wu Jing never let Zhang Bo be alone.
She might get some useful information this afternoon.
Just as she was worrying about whether Wu Jing would leave before Gu Yao arrived, her phone rang with a WeChat message notification.
She opened it and saw that it was sent by Gu Yao.
Arrived.
So fast?
I glanced at the time; it had been less than ten minutes since I made the call!
She replied, "So fast?"
I happen to be running errands nearby.
After she replied with an OK emoji, Gu Yao responded with a well-behaved smiley face.
Zhou Chun frowned as he looked at it.
A little after one o'clock, Wu Jing left with her designer handbag.
Zhang Bo nervously escorted him to the door.
When Wu Jing left, she told Zhang Bo not to worry.
Then, for the entire afternoon, she chatted with Zhang Bo on and off.
The topic of conversation was still the children's schooling.
As any parent knows, the closest thing to a generation gap between adults is with their children.
Zhang Bo is especially proud of his daughter.
He can talk on and on about his daughter for ages whenever the conversation starts.
She then gleaned useful information from these fragments of information.
The most useful part is Zhang Bo's account of his daughter's annual expenses while studying abroad, as well as his and Wu Jing's monthly salaries.
She had tried to talk to Zhang Bo about this before, but every time the topic came up, Wu Jing would interrupt or send Zhang Bo away.
With Wu Jing not around, Zhang Bo started talking non-stop, pouring out his words.
This topic continued until Zhang Bo took his afternoon nap.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, I finally received a message from Gu Yao.
To be precise, what Gu Yao sent was a very clear video and the message, "She replied."
In the video, Wu Jing is sitting face to face with an elderly man with gray hair.
The phrase "she replied" likely refers to Wu Jing returning.
She quickly made an excuse to leave the Zhang family's house, and in a secluded corner, she opened the video...
By the time Zhou Chunhua finished watching the video, her eyes were red from crying.
After wiping away her tears, she sent a message to Gu Yao.
Is it illegal for me to use this as leverage to threaten them?
[It's not like I'm using this to blackmail them for money; what law am I breaking?]
With Gu Yao's words as a safety net, she was also prepared to confront them directly.
Looking up at the blood-red sky, Zhou Chunhua took a deep breath to calm herself.
Nini, Mommy will definitely find you.
When they returned to the Zhang family home, Wu Jing was already back, and she and Zhang Bo were sitting in the living room.
"Where did you go?" Wu Jing asked.
Zhou Chunhua stopped pretending and sat down opposite them.
"Sister Wu, Teacher Zhang, I need your help with something."
Grandma Zhang turned to look at her curiously, and Wu Jing frowned, looking displeased.
Without waiting, she said directly, "Could you please help me find the passenger information for Pudong Bus Station in August 2017?"
Zhang Bo's face was gloomy.
"What do you mean?" Wu Jing asked.
“My daughter was abducted in August 2017. In the same month, the abductor took her to Pudong Bus Station. I want to determine if the abductor bought a ticket there, and if so, where the ticket was for.”
She tried her best to remain calm.
"So, you deliberately approached me?" Wu Jing suddenly asked.
Zhou Chunhua nodded calmly.
But she still explained, "Please understand a mother's feelings."
With a loud thud, Wu Jing slammed her hand heavily on the sofa armrest.
"You're the one who called me several times and I rejected you, right?"
“It’s me,” Zhou Chunhua nodded.
Wu Jing was so angry that her chest heaved.
"I don't know what you're talking about, and I don't have what you want! Please leave my house! Otherwise, I'll call the police!"
“I’m not leaving. Go ahead and call the police. When the time comes, it won’t be me who gets taken away.”
"What do you mean?"
Zhou Chunhua took out her phone and sent the video to Wu Jing's phone.
"Take a look at this first, and then we can talk."
Wu Jing picked up her phone and tapped the screen.
Soon, Wu Jing's voice rang out.
"What do you mean by causing trouble for me as soon as you come out?"
Then came a withered, aged voice.
“I’ve been sitting here for so many years, and Chen Bo has been living a carefree life for just as long. I’m not happy about that.”
"We had a clear agreement about this back then. You would take the lead, and you would get the lion's share of the money. We did as agreed and gave you most of the money. What are you complaining about?"
"Do you think it's a comfortable place to stay in there?"
“Wang Decai, why don’t you think about what kind of job can make you millions in three to five years? Besides, even if Lao Zhang had gone to jail back then, wouldn’t you have gone to jail too?”
Now that you're out, is it still necessary to argue with us about these things?
"Wu Jing!" Wang Decai's voice rang out, accompanied by the sound of slamming his hand on the table.
The cups on the table made a clattering sound as a result.
"What did you promise me back then? Huh? You said you would take care of my family and children, did you keep your word? When my father was sick and needed money to save his life, my wife called you, and not only did you not answer, you also blocked her number!"
