He Wenlin got into the police car, and the van was given to other police officers to drive.
In the car, He Wenlin used the police officer's phone to call her parents and let them know she was safe.
He's mother was sobbing uncontrollably on the phone.
Mr. He was so excited that he became incoherent.
Because of He Wenlin's phone call, He's mother also gave up the idea of going to Yangguping to support her.
He Wenlin was already in the police car. If she took a taxi to Yangguping at this time, she might miss He Wenlin. It would be better to stay at home and wait for her to come back.
When He Wenlin was taken back to her rented room in Caijiang Village by the police, it was already seven o'clock in the morning.
Aunt He, He Wenjun, and their younger brother had been eagerly waiting at the door for some time.
Seeing He Wenlin get out of the police car, He's mother burst into tears, grabbing He Wenlin and saying, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back! You scared me to death!"
"Sister, are you alright?" He Wenjun, the younger brother, looked He Wenlin up and down, his face full of worry.
"Linlin, are you hurt? Did they hit you?" He Wenjun asked.
He Wenlin forced a smile: "I'm fine, I'm just a little hungry."
Upon hearing this, He Wenjun quickly said, "Then I'll go get you breakfast. What would you like to eat? How about fried noodles?"
“Sure, bring some steamed buns and dumplings for these police officers too,” He Wenlin said. “They must be hungry, coming to meet me so early in the morning.”
"You're welcome. We've safely delivered you home and now it's our turn to go back."
"Yes, you're welcome. Little sister, after you finish your breakfast, you should rest well. Don't overthink it or be afraid. You're safe now."
The police officers all felt that they had said something unnecessary.
Along the way, they had already questioned He Wenlin and knew how she escaped.
They greatly admired He Wenlin's mental fortitude and courage.
They were also surprised that He Wenlin could drive.
They wondered if children from wealthy families were really different; she could drive at such a young age.
If she didn't have this skill, no matter how brave she was, she wouldn't have been able to escape!
He Wenlin said, "Thank you, uncles. You've all worked hard. My family runs a breakfast shop, so breakfast is free. You've been driving for a long time, so please rest here for a while. My second brother will be back soon. Please come in and have a seat."
At this moment, Liao Jianhai also drove He's father back, accompanied by a middle-aged man from the south, whom He Wenlin guessed was a policeman.
"Linlin!"
Mr. He rushed over and looked He Wenlin up and down. Only when he saw that she was really safe and sound did he feel relieved.
"Dad, Uncle Liao."
Liao Jianhai looked at her and said, "It's good that you're alright. The people who kidnapped you have been caught. Don't be afraid!"
"Really? So fast!!!" He Wenlin was stunned. This efficiency was too fast.
“After you ran away, the other party immediately contacted me and asked me to bring the money to the train station. They probably knew they couldn't catch you and didn't want to miss this opportunity,” Mr. He explained. “If we catch the person withdrawing the money at the train station, the others definitely won't be able to escape either!”
"Is this person we've captured someone we know?"
Mr. He shook his head: "I don't know him."
Liao Jianhai: "Why do you ask that?"
He Wenlin explained, “From what the people who kidnapped me said, they knew a lot about our situation. They knew we had taken out a loan from the bank, and they had accomplices who were probably monitoring us nearby. They were sure we hadn’t called the police. I even felt that they knew my family owed their current status to me. Outsiders couldn’t possibly know that. I suspect it was someone I knew who committed the crime.”
Those who don't know them would never know that He Wenlin is the one in power!
Even if they tell others, people who don't know them well won't believe them.
Upon hearing this, Mr. He said with relief, "Luckily we met at the bank and didn't come back here!"
He Wenlin looked at her father, puzzled: "What do you mean?"
“At first I thought you were joking about kidnapping or something. Who would have thought something like this would happen to us? We’re not Li Ka-shing,” Mr. He said. “But then I felt something was wrong, so I asked your teacher and found out you hadn’t gone to school. The shop said you went to school by motorcycle. When I tried to call you again, no one answered, so I called the police. But I was afraid the kidnappers would kill you if they found out I called the police, so I met the police at the bank. Anyway, I had to go to the bank to withdraw money. Now that I think about it, I’m glad the police didn’t come back here with me.”
Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Mr. He still feels lingering fear when he thinks about it.
"How did you escape?" Mr. He asked.
"Breakfast is here!" He Wenjun and Lin Fei brought over more than ten breakfasts.
"Eat something first, we'll talk later."
When Lin Fei got breakfast earlier, he didn't include He's father, Liao Jianhai, and the other two in the count, so he went back and cooked three more servings of fried rice.
After having breakfast, the police officers who brought He Wenlin back went home.
Mother He sent He Wenjun to take He Wenjun to school.
"Mom, please ask for a day off for me. I need to stay home and comfort my sister," He Wenjun said. "Sister, don't be afraid, your little brother is here."
He's mother said irritably, "I think you just don't want to go to school. You got such low scores on the test, and you still don't want to study properly."
“I’m fine. I’ll have my second brother take you to school on his bike,” He Wenlin said. “When you get home from school, we can comfort me properly.”
He Wenjun sighed: "Alright, then don't be afraid at home."
"The police officers are all here, I'm not afraid."
He Wenjun didn't even want to go see her off. He even wanted He Wenjun to take half a day off because he desperately wanted to know how his sister had managed to escape.
