Since Yangyang's father and his family arrived in Qing'an, they have been having dinner at the hotel's second-floor restaurant, which is a buffet.
Sure enough, as soon as she and Gu Yao entered the restaurant, Yangyang's father and the others were already sitting together at their usual spot, eating.
As soon as she saw them, Yangyang's father waved to her.
As soon as she led Nini over, Yangyang's father said anxiously, "Quick, sit down, we have good news today."
"What good news?" Zhou Chunhua asked in surprise.
You should know that everyone has been busy during this time.
They divided the work every day: some prepared materials, some petitioned, some reported... It could be said that she was probably the only one with a lot of free time.
Yangyang's father handed a plate of small desserts to Nini and Tongtong before saying, "The petition office has asked us to compile a list."
"Really?" Zhou Chunhua's eyes lit up.
Gu Yao had told her before that if the petition office asked them to compile a list of missing persons, it would mean that the scope of the incident had expanded.
As long as the impact of this matter is significant enough, no matter how powerful the people behind Wang Lin are, they will not be able to cover it up.
At that point, Wang Lin's protectors will become anxious, afraid, and worried that they too will be dragged into the public eye.
Gu Yao said that only by pushing them to the brink and making them take action against Wang Lin would Wang Lin tell the truth in order to save his life.
Only when Wang Lin tells the truth can the heinous crimes in Sha Tin Tsui truly be exposed to the light of day.
"Great! This means that everyone's hard work over the past few days has finally paid off! Quickly get everyone to prepare the materials, strike while the iron is hot, and don't delay."
If the hype dies down, things might change again.
Zhou Chunhua excitedly drank half a glass of water in one gulp.
"By the way, Yangyang's dad, please send this message to all the missing persons groups. Tell those who couldn't come to prepare their documents and submit them to you by a set time."
ID card, household registration booklet, birth certificate, photos, and the police report receipt for when the relative went missing—you can't leave any of them out!
"Okay, Nini's mom, I'll send the message to the group right away," Yangyang's dad said, taking out his phone.
"etc!"
A voice came from the other side, and Zhou Chunhua looked up.
The one speaking was Lin Rui's mother, a middle-aged woman of similar age.
They weren't in the same group, so they weren't as familiar with each other as Yangyang's dad.
It is said that Lin Rui disappeared while on an internship with the school.
It wasn't until half a month after Lin Rui went missing that Lin Rui's mother realized something was wrong.
When they went to the school to demand the person back, the school not only failed to provide an explanation, but also had the school security guards dump the person on the street in front of the school.
That day, Lin Rui's mother called the police.
When Uncle Hat came, he only took a statement, nothing more.
According to Yangyang's father, Uncle Hat also brought the school officials over to discuss Lin Rui's matter face-to-face.
But in the end, the school only said that Lin Rui went out without permission and did not return, putting all the blame on a missing child.
Then she called the police several times, but nothing came of it.
Desperate for help, Lin Rui's mother's hair turned white overnight. She began holding up posters with Lin Rui's photo and student ID every day, standing at the school gate demanding an explanation.
However, no one paid attention to her son's disappearance.
She stayed there for an entire semester.
Her son's classmates have all graduated and left the school, but she still kneels at the school gate every day at the same time, crying and begging the school for help.
Even so, Lin Rui's school did not respond.
Later, I heard from Lin Rui's mother that the school principal secretly told everyone to ignore her, saying that she would at most cry until the end of the semester and then give up and stop causing trouble.
As a result, Lin Rui's mother not only did not back down, but became even more determined.
Throughout the entire holiday, rain or shine, she would appear at the school gate on time and kneel there for an entire day.
And so, she waited until the new school term started in September.
On the first day of the new students' arrival at school, she prepared a microphone and speakers, and when there were the most people, she made sure that everyone knew about Lin Rui's disappearance.
The principal noticed that the new students and their parents had been affected, so he called security to take her to his office.
On the same day, in order to avoid affecting the enrollment of new students, the principal offered her 100,000 yuan to settle the matter.
However, the principal overlooked the love a single mother has for her child.
That day, Lin Rui's mother not only secretly recorded the principal's ugly face on her phone, but also used the video to blackmail the principal, demanding that he return her son.
Otherwise, she would post the video online.
Unexpectedly, the enraged principal called the school security guards, who forcibly took away Lin Rui's mother's phone and beat her so badly in front of so many people that she couldn't even get up.
Finally, someone called the police, but when the uncle arrived, the principal said that Lin Rui's mother had a conflict with one of the security guards, which led to the physical altercation.
Lin Rui's mother naturally denied this explanation, but a security guard stepped forward to take the blame for the principal.
The matter ended after the security guard was given seven days of administrative detention and fined 500 yuan.
Although Lin Rui's mother continued to kneel at the school gate every day demanding an explanation after that incident, she didn't get any news about her son even after kneeling for several years until the principal retired.
It wasn't until she saw the video Lin Rui posted online that Lin Rui's mother rushed over to Qing'an.
It was at this time that she first came into contact with Lin Rui's mother.
Pulling herself out of her thoughts, she asked, "What's wrong, Lin Rui's mother?"
Lin Rui's mother put down her chopsticks, stood up, and said, "I don't agree to post this message in the group!"
Everyone present was stunned. They all lowered their hands and looked over.
"Why?" Zhou Chunhua asked.
"Why? Why do we work hard while they reap the benefits for free? When we needed their help, they didn't come to our aid. Now that our hard work has paid off, they get all the credit! Why?!"
Lin Rui's mother spoke angrily, slamming her hand on the table.
With a loud bang, everyone was startled.
Once they came to their senses, the crowd began to discuss the matter.
Some people said, "Lin Rui's mother is right. When we came here, we begged them to come and help us, but they either had to work or take care of their children and elderly relatives."
Since they don't want to look for their missing relatives, why should we drag them into it?
Of course, some people disagree, saying, "I disagree. Every family has its own unique circumstances. After all, not everyone only has one child."
Those who couldn't come to help must have genuinely been too busy at home.
In no time, everyone started arguing.
Zhou Chunhua looked at Lin Rui's mother and stood up...
