Wu Jing's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and she slammed her phone onto the coffee table.
Suddenly, she leaped up, using the coffee table as a springboard, and pounced on him.
Give me your phone!
By the time Zhou Chunhua realized what was happening, Wu Jing had already pinned her down.
He hooked his leg around Wu Jing's foot and twisted his waist, turning the two of them around.
"Let me go! Zhou Chunhua! Do you believe I'll accuse you of burglary and call the police to arrest you?!"
"Report it! We'll see who gets there first..." Before she could finish the word "go," an arm was already around her neck.
"Let her go!" Zhang Bo's voice rang out from behind.
Why are you pinching her? Go get your phone!
"Are you stupid? I'd show you; I have plenty of backups!"
As soon as she shouted, Wu Jing and Zhang Bo froze as if a pause button had been pressed.
Suddenly, Zhang Bo let go of her hand.
"Stop hitting him."
Wu Jing angrily slapped her hand.
Withdrawing her hand, before she could move aside, Wu Jing pushed her away and went around the coffee table to sit back down.
"We have no grudge against you, so why are you targeting us?" Wu Jing asked, tidying her messy hair.
"I told you, I just want to know where my daughter was taken."
"If I give you what you want, you really won't release this video?" Zhang Bo asked.
"What I can guarantee is that I won't."
Zhang Bo suddenly stood up: "Okay! One week! I'll give you what you want in a week."
"Hehehe..." Zhou Chunhua laughed: "A week? Waiting for you to escape to your daughter's place? I said I'm not stupid, just because I'm not well-educated!"
Zhang Bo seemed unfazed by her words. However, although Wu Jing's face remained expressionless, Zhang Bo still noticed the surprise and astonishment in her eyes.
It seems that, just as she thought, they have already discussed going abroad.
Zhang Bo coughed twice, clearing his throat. "Looks like no matter what I say, you won't believe me. So how long will it take? I can't possibly give it to you now, can I? I'm retired; this kind of thing requires connections and favors!"
Two days!
"Two days? Are you kidding me! Do you know how troublesome this is? Two days is impossible, we wouldn't even have enough people to find in two days! It's impossible!" Zhang Bo shook his head and waved his hands.
"Then you're in the wrong. It's not mine. If you don't get your things in two days, you can expect to go to jail!" She got up to leave.
While she was changing her shoes, Wu Jing rushed over, grabbed her, and cried, "Chunhua, how about I give you money? Tell me, how much do you want? As long as I can afford it, I'll give you everything."
When Lao Zhang was still in office, he was just a small station manager, so he didn't have any connections. Now that he's retired for so many years, where is he going to find someone to do this for him?
Please, I beg you! He's so old and has so many illnesses. If he goes in, he might never get out! Chunhua, please, for the sake of how good we've been to you, leave us a way out!
Zhou Chunhua suppressed the urge to hit someone.
"Give you a way out? What about the abducted children? Did you leave any way out for us parents who lost our children? You also have daughters, you are parents too. When you did this, why didn't you think about us?"
"I...you can't say that! We didn't kidnap the child. If you really want to hold someone accountable, you should hold the traffickers accountable! Besides, the parents are also responsible for the child's loss! You can't put all the blame on Old Zhang!"
"So what? So you're providing opportunities for child traffickers to evade detection and take children out of the country?"
"I...we had our reasons! Those were truly impoverished times! We were both working, and there was no one to help with childcare, so she lacked discipline and her grades were at the bottom of the class. If we hadn't sent her abroad, her life would have been ruined!"
"Huh?" Zhou Chunhua laughed. "So, your child is a treasure, while other people's children are just trash!"
"No! That's not what I meant! When they first found Lao Zhang, he didn't know they were human traffickers! Lao Zhang was tricked by them! By the time he realized it, he was already trapped! Really, we were forced into it."
Wu Jing spoke with tears streaming down her face, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Zhou Chunhua found it ridiculous that they were the ones who benefited, yet they were also the ones who tore other people's families apart.
But in the end, she managed to completely absolve them of their selfishness.
"So what? What do you want to hear? That I forgive you? That I'll let you off the hook?"
Wu Jing, her eyes red from crying, looked at her with hopeful eyes.
"Dream on!" She shook off Wu Jing's hand and pushed open the door to leave.
She took one foot out, then pulled it back.
Turning to look at Wu Jing, who was crying on the ground, she still couldn't suppress the hatred in her heart.
"Wu Jing, do you know what has become of those families who lost their children? Some died from missing their children, some died on the way to find their children, and some disappeared without a trace. No one knows whether they are alive or dead."
Some people can't face each other and choose to divorce, going their separate ways. But there are many, many mothers and fathers like me who are still gritting their teeth and persevering!
If you have any conscience at all, you should stand up, take responsibility for your mistakes, do everything you can to make amends for the harm you've caused others, testify against those human traffickers, and help us find our child!
Wu Jing just stared at her.
At that moment, Zhou Chunhua suddenly realized that some people can really be so evil that they have no humanity, no bottom line! They can be so evil that they have no scruples!
"It seems your husband's dementia isn't accidental, but rather retribution! Remember, you have two days to give me what I want, or I won't be polite!" This time, she turned and left immediately after saying that.
Therefore, all evil is never accidental, but rather etched into our genes.
Liao Nanxing was like this, as were Zhang Bo and Wu Jing.
However, she had to thank Liao Nanxing. If it weren't for him, she would never have learned how to see the real him in someone's eyes!
Watching Zhou Chunhua walk away, Wu Jing, who had been crying her heart out, suddenly fell silent.
She got up and reached out to pull the door shut.
"What should we do?" Zhang Bo asked.
Wu Jing tore off a tissue and wiped the snot and tears from her face.
"What can we do? Let's go! You don't really want to get the information for her, do you? It's not that I look down on you, but during the years you were in office, you neither worked for the benefit of the people nor trained a successor."
All those shady things you did during that time, you don't even know how many people you offended! Who can you turn to for help now?
Zhang Bo looked embarrassed: "Then what do we do? Where can we go if we just walk?"
"I'll check the plane tickets now. You hurry up and pack your things! No matter what, let's get abroad first."
