Chapter 48 Slapping the Real Daughter in the Face 48
At first, when Zhong Changsheng received a call from an unknown person, he did not take it seriously. Even if the other party could accurately say Zhong Chuchu's name, he still maintained a trace of doubt.
Since Zhong Chuchu disappeared two years ago, the Zhong family has used all their connections to find her. The news of Zhong Chuchu's disappearance could not be concealed at all, and there were quite a few people who knew about it. In the past two years, there have been people who claimed to have news about Zhong Chuchu coming to the door. With hope and disappointment again and again, the Zhong family has been shrouded in shadow for a long time because of this incident.
Poor parents, after Zhong Chuchu disappeared, her parents cried all day long, quit their jobs, and went all over the country to look for their daughter.
This time it must be true, Zhong Changsheng's confidence increased, and he quickly called his third brother, Zhong Changyun, Zhong Chuchu's father.
After a brief exchange, Zhong Changsheng put aside all his affairs and set off for Province G, while Zhong Changyun, who was far away in Province M, also bought a ticket to Province G as quickly as possible.
The next day at noon, Jiang Lan put on a mask and a hat, walked slowly to Granny Yang's shop, and bought an ice cream in a good mood.
Two men in POLO shirts were guarding the door of the shop, not buying anything, but looking around anxiously. The two looked very similar, both had a pair of beautiful peony eyes, but one of them looked more elegant and the other looked more serious.
Jiang Lan took off his mask and started eating ice cream. While eating, he looked at the two people, thinking that these two people must be Zhong Chuchu's family.
Perhaps he could sense the gazes of the people around him, so one of them asked politely, "Little boy, have you ever seen a strange woman?"
"Strange woman?" Jiang Lan tilted her head to look at him, "Yes."
The man looked at her happily and asked, "Really? Where did she go?"
"Nowhere, just here."
"Where?" The man looked around, "No?"
"I mean, the strange woman you are talking about is me." Jiang Lan was holding an ice cream, looking childish.
"Star... Starman?"
It always felt a little humiliating for a grown man to say these words.
"Yes, it's me, you guys follow me."
Zhong Changsheng and Zhong Changyun looked at each other, and finally followed obediently.
A young girl, with two middle-aged men, going to a hotel...something seemed wrong.
Seeing the subtle expressions on the front desk, Zhong Changsheng and Zhong Changyun lowered their heads in embarrassment, as if they had done something shameful. Jiang Lan was the calmest. She hadn't finished her ice cream yet, and she ate as she walked, looking very natural.
Entering the room, Jiang Lan took off his hat and asked them to sit down. "Please sit anywhere. Do you want some tea? Oh, I don't have any tea leaves. Do you want some water?"
"No, we're not thirsty." Zhong Changsheng found a seat and sat down. "Comrade, how should I address you?"
"My last name is Jiang, and my given name is Lan. Jiang means river water, and Lan means strong and broad waves. You can just call me by my name." Jiang Lan took two bottles of water and placed them in front of them. "Drink some water first. It's tiring to run in such hot weather."
Zhong Changyun was a little anxious. "Ms. Jiang, I'm Zhong Chuchu's father. I'm sorry that I know it's a bit abrupt. But could you please tell us where Chuchu is? We're really anxious."
"Comrade Jiang, please understand our anxiety as parents." Zhong Changsheng sighed, "We have waited too long, and my family and I are suffering every minute and every second."
"I can understand." Jiang Lan took out a notebook from the bedside table and handed it to Zhong Changsheng, "Zhong Chuchu was abducted, and now she is being held in a nearby place called Yujia Village. This notebook records the list of people who were illegally abducted by the chief of Yujia Village, as well as information about the buyers. There may be some who have slipped through the net, but my ability is limited, and you will need to track them down later."
"Chuchu..." Zhong Changyun clenched his fists, "Is she okay?" As a father, he couldn't imagine what kind of situation abducted people would end up in.
"Zhong Chuchu was lucky, she didn't suffer too much." Jiang Lan didn't say much, after all, the damage was already there, even if it was the lightest injury compared to others, it was a nightmare for a lifetime. "
Thank you, Comrade Jiang!" Zhong Changsheng didn't open the notebook, but stood up and saluted Jiang Lan, which was the most sincere respect of a soldier.
"No need to do that. Everyone has a responsibility to fight crime." Jiang Lan handed the package on the sofa to Zhong Changsheng and explained: "It is not appropriate for me to hold ill-gotten gains. I hope you can arrange it properly and use it for the victims."
"Comrade Jiang, don't worry." Zhong Changsheng took the package and asked: "I wonder if Comrade Jiang has time. We are unfamiliar with this place and may need your help in many things. Of course, if you find it inconvenient, I won't force it. If you can bring us news about Chuchu, our whole family will be very grateful to you."
Jiang Lan was very straightforward, "I can help."
"Thank you very much." Zhong Changsheng and Zhong Changyun bowed to Jiang Lan, "It is not convenient for us to stay here for a long time, so as not to attract the attention of relevant personnel. We will not disturb you for now. How can we contact you then?"
"I don't have a cell phone..." Jiang Lan was helpless. She really forgot about this.
Zhong Changyun smiled, took out the cell phone from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Lan. "If you don't mind, use my cell phone first. I'll buy you a new one later."
"You don't need a new one. Lend me your cell phone first." Jiang Lan was not polite and took the cell phone directly. "The situation in Yujia Village is more complicated. We must seize the time, otherwise I'm worried that the people will be transferred by them."
"Comrade Jiang, don't worry and wait for the news. We will leave first." Zhong Changsheng didn't say anything more and walked out with Zhong Changyun.
I don't know why, Jiang Lan looked at their backs leaving and felt a sense of sadness and sorrow. Alas... I was filled with infinite emotion.
[Zhong Chuchu's family is so powerful, but she was still abducted. I can't imagine it.]
[Human traffickers don't care about the family background, ability, and IQ of the abducted people. In their eyes, there is no difference between humans and animals. They are just goods.]
[I once read a news report about the ancient earth. It said that a female scholar from a nuclear experiment team disappeared while riding a train in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. It is very likely that she was abducted.]
[Human traffickers are so disgusting. They should be killed.]
[I hope this matter can end quickly. It is so distressing. I don't know how those poor young ladies are doing now...]
[The people locked up in the village chief's house will definitely not starve to death. I just don't know how the women in the wooden house are doing. They are so pitiful.]
"Alas..." Jiang Lan sighed, thinking about the things in Yujia Village, her heart was in a mess. She tightly held the mobile phone left by the Zhong family, hoping that the other party would move faster.
