Chapter 197: Don’t Tell Others
After dinner, Deng Xiuzhen said that she was tired from working today and went back to her room early to rest.
No matter how worried she was about Tan Yanlin, Deng Xiuzhen chose to trust Tian Guoqiang and wait patiently when she was powerless to do anything.
I was daydreaming when my phone suddenly vibrated.
Deng Xiuzhen took out her cell phone and saw that it was Tian Guoqiang calling.
"The children are back. I didn't tell them about what happened to Qin Yanlin. I'm alone in the room now. Is there any progress on your side?" As soon as the call was connected, Deng Xiuzhen lowered her voice and immediately told Tian Guoqiang about the situation on her side.
"There is indeed a traitor in your company, Li Xiaomei confessed that she hated the people in the company because she was beaten in the company.
She wanted revenge, and then she ran into Li Zhigang and his men. But just bringing Li Zhigang into the picture was not enough. She had to lead them to a suitable place before she could teach them a lesson.
That day she went to the company gate to observe the situation again and was hit by something.
She turned around and saw a figure flashing by the company's window. She intuitively felt that it was the person who threw the thing.
When I picked it up, I saw that it was a ball of paper with a printed introduction to the customer on it.
She didn't care at the time, but still put the paper ball away.
He was thinking about stealing the company's clients and bringing down Tan Yanlin's company.
Not long after, she received a call. The other party spoke in a pinched voice, saying that she was also unhappy with Liu Youzhen and the others.
Li Xiaomei said that the other person pinched his throat and she couldn't tell who it was, but she was sure it was a woman. Women's voices are different and their speaking habits are also different from men's.
She felt that the other party was taking advantage of her, but when she thought about it, she was seeking revenge anyway, so it didn't matter whether she was benefited or not.
So she went to buy a phone card and sent a message to Zhang Liuying pretending to be Tan Yanlin..."
"Did she say who she suspected that person was?" Deng Xiuzhen asked.
"She said she suspected it was someone from the company. She didn't know which one exactly, but it should be someone who had worked there. After all, if you just assign work, you won't know the actual situation of the employer's home." Tian Guoqiang thought for a moment and said:
“Our people have been monitoring the old alleys of West Street for such a long time, but they didn’t find anything unusual.
Are you sure that Tan Yanlin disappeared in the yard that day?"
Deng Xiuzhen hesitated and said, "In fact, I was talking to the old man at the time and was not sure where Tan Yanlin disappeared.
It’s just that the door made a loud noise whenever it was opened and closed, but I didn’t hear it at the time.
Oh, yes. Have you checked the old lady's condition? How are her children doing?"
"This is a bit problematic. The old man has one son and two daughters. Two of the daughters married and moved to an island country. One of them died, and the other one lives an ordinary life. She hasn't given the old man a penny in several years.
Her son used to make a lot of money in business, but he was cheated and lost everything. He also owed debts and no one knew where he had gone. "Tian Guoqiang did not hide anything from Deng Xiuzhen. He told Deng Xiuzhen everything that he could not tell anyone outside the task force.
"How old is her son? Is he married?"
"I was married, but my wife ran away with someone after he went bankrupt. I heard that he had a daughter..." At this point, Tian Guoqiang paused, as he realized that he had neglected something.
"What's wrong?" Deng Xiuzhen asked.
"It's okay. I'll send someone to check on the old man's son and his family. I'll hang up first!" Tian Guoqiang said and hung up the phone.
The next day when Deng Xiuzhen arrived at the company, Zhang Liuying had already arrived with Liu Lanlan.
Seeing Deng Xiuzhen, Liu Lanlan quickly ran over and asked, "Aunt, have you found my mother?"
Deng Xiuzhen shook her head, smiled and said nothing. Facing the innocent child, she was afraid that she would reveal emotions that she shouldn't show and say words that she shouldn't say.
"Aunt, take me away and I want to tell you something in private." Liu Lanlan hugged Deng Xiuzhen's arm and said with her big round eyes.
"Okay," Deng Xiuzhen agreed, took Liu Lanlan's hand and walked towards the office.
This office is independent and was initially used by Deng Xiuzhen and Qin Yanlin.
Later, when Li Xiaomei came, Deng Xiuzhen never came in again, and it was used by Tan Yanlin alone.
Now that Tan Yanlin is missing, Deng Xiuzhen doesn’t come here very often.
The cleaners rarely come in, especially since something happened recently. The room is a bit messy, with a thin layer of dust on the table and the floor.
Deng Xiuzhen asked Liu Lanlan to wait while she went to get some things to clean up.
When I opened the door, I saw Zhang Liuying.
"Boss?" Zhang Liuying felt very uncomfortable when suddenly meeting Deng Xiuzhen.
"Is there something wrong?" Deng Xiuzhen suppressed her emotions and asked calmly.
"It's okay, it's okay." Zhang Liuying responded in panic and turned away in a hurry.
Deng Xiuzhen looked at her fleeing back, her face darkened, but she said nothing.
He took his things, cleaned up the office, and took Liu Lanlan out.
Said he was taking Lanlan to buy something.
Zhang Liuying looked at Deng Xiuzhen, opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
"Auntie, can I speak now?" Liu Lanlan's childish voice rang out as soon as she sat down in a corner of the breakfast shop.
"Well, go ahead and tell us what our Lanlan wants to whisper." Deng Xiuzhen handed Liu Lanlan a glass of milk.
"Aunt, I had a dream about my mother. She told me that she was dead and that Aunt Zhang and the bad guys had killed her.
Let me not tell anyone else, let me follow you and listen to you."
Liu Lanlan's words shocked Deng Xiuzhen. She didn't know what to say for a moment and just stared at the child in front of her who was less than eight years old.
"Aunt, did I say something wrong?" Liu Lanlan was at a loss as to what to do. She was about to cry and didn't dare to eat. She just looked at Deng Xiuzhen pitifully.
"Lanlan, don't be afraid. Your aunt is here. When did you have the dream?" Deng Xiuzhen hugged Liu Lanlan and comforted her gently, but the look in her eyes was inexplicable.
Liu Lanlan was comforted and relaxed. She drank a sip of milk, picked up a donut and took a bite, then said, "The day before yesterday, the day before yesterday, I dreamed about it when I was taking a nap."
"Don't tell anyone what your mother and aunt said, okay?" Deng Xiuzhen said as she wiped the corners of Liu Lanlan's mouth with a tissue.
"Well, I'll listen to you, aunt. Aunt, let me tell you, I still miss my mother very much. Is she really never coming back?" Liu Lanlan asked, tilting her head.
"I really don't know this, Auntie. Lanlan, be good and eat first. These are all yours. If you can't finish them, we will pack them up and take them back later." Deng Xiuzhen said, touching Liu Lanlan's head.
Liu Lanlan ate peacefully while Deng Xiuzhen concentrated on thinking, who contacted Liu Lanlan the day before yesterday, at noon?
What method is used to leave such an impression on a child?
Is that person the traitor? What is her purpose in doing this?
