After listening to Sun Aimin's story, everyone in the room had already guessed the conspiracy.
The driver, Master Chen, was furious and cursed Zhan Jinhua and Qian Jindou: "They are truly lacking in virtue for eight lifetimes. They are not afraid of retribution..."
Shen Nan said confidently: "This is something that couple can do."
Afterwards, Shen Nan expressed the doubts he had always had: “This time the public security comrades came to investigate their situation, is it also related to child trafficking?”
Sun Aimin and the others nodded and gave Shen Nan an affirmative answer.
Luo Changshun and his wife had always known about child buying in their village, but they had never heard of human traffickers. His wife, with a look of sudden enlightenment, said, "No wonder that scoundrel, the second son of the Qian family, got so rich! It turns out he did these heinous things..."
Then she asked the others besides Sun Aimin, "Are you also here to look for your children?"
Wu Xing and Zhao Hongjun quickly responded, "Our two children have been missing for over ten years, and we haven't heard from them in all these years. We happened to meet Brother Sun this time, so we came here with him."
Wu Xing then pulled out a few missing child flyers from his backpack and showed them to Luo Changshun and his wife and Shen Nan. He asked, "Take a look at my son's photo. Is there anyone in the village who looks like him? He's twelve years old now... Oh, Sister Shen, Brother Sun said he saw Zhan Jinhua's son and he looks a bit like my child. Do you have a photo of that child?"
When Shen Nan heard Wu Xing mention Zhan Jinhua's son, he asked, "Are you talking about Qian Longchuan?"
Sun Aimin confirmed, "Yes, it's Qian Longchuan. I think he looks very similar to the child from Brother Wu's family. I also heard that he's not his biological son and that he didn't have a good life in that family."
Shen Nan listened carefully, recalling some details, and said: "Hearing you say this, I did think of something. I haven't seen that child many times. The first time I saw him was three or four years after my child was lost. In the past few years, those two bastards didn't come back.
When I went back to Luojiagou that time, I went to find them and asked about the whereabouts of my children. I met his two children, one was his eldest daughter, and the other was Qian Longchuan.
Although he looked thin and small at the time, he should have been at least six or seven years old. However, Zhan Jinhua claimed that he was her child. Based on the timing of her pregnancy, if she had successfully given birth to the child, he would have been only about four years old, so there was no way he could have been that much older.
Moreover, the Qian family has a serious patriarchal mentality, and they haven't been very kind to the child, so I think the child must have been stolen or bought by them."
She carefully looked at the photo of Wu Xing's son again and said, "According to his real age, the child is about twelve or thirteen now. I don't have any photos of the Qian family, it would be nice if we had some to compare. I haven't seen him in recent years, so my impression of him is a bit vague, but the child in this photo seems to resemble Qian Longchuan. I can't be sure, so you still have to find that family first."
Although Shen Nan didn't confirm the facts, her account suggested the child's background was suspicious. Furthermore, the fact that their ages matched, and Sun Aimin's assertion that Qian Longchuan resembled Wu Xing's child, gave Wu Xing immense confidence. Regardless of whether it was true or not, he figured, it finally gave him a general direction, rather than the headless, chaotic pace he'd been in before.
Zhao Hongjun sensed that something was happening with Wu Xing's son, so he quickly pulled out his missing child flyer and said to the people in Luojiagou, "Can you help me see if there's any child in the village whose origins are unknown and who looks like my child? My son and Lao Wu's son were lost together, and they're now thirteen years old. I think if the traffickers sold the children, they wouldn't be too far apart."
Luo Changshun and his wife and Shen Nan quickly took the flyer and began to research Zhao Hongjun's child.
Luo Changshun's wife thought the child looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him. Shen Nan also frowned and searched in his mind for information about the young man in the village.
At this moment, there was a knock on the big iron door, and someone outside shouted loudly: "Second uncle, are you home? It's urgent!"
Luo Changshun gestured to everyone to stay in the house, and he walked to the front door to open it.
As soon as the door opened, Qian Xiaoshu and Qian Baoge both called out "Brother Dajiang" in a clear voice!
It turned out to be Luo Dajiang. His father, Luo Changyou, was of the same generation as Luo Changshun, but younger than him. Luo Changshun was the second child in the family, so Luo Dajiang called him "Second Uncle".
Luo Changshun asked, "Dajiang, what happened that makes you so anxious?"
"Uncle, my eldest sister was beaten by my brother-in-law. She was seriously injured. They were reluctant to pay to send her to the hospital, so they asked someone in the village to drive a tractor to bring her back to my house.
My parents asked me to ask you to go home and see my sister and see if there is any medicine that can cure her."
Luo Changyou's family had four daughters and one son. The eldest, Luo Xiaoyun, was over a decade older than the youngest, Luo Dajiang, and was now twenty-five. However, she had been engaged to her husband's family and had a wedding at the age of seventeen. This meant she had been married for eight years, having married a year after Luo Dajiang arrived at the Luo family.
Luo Changshun asked Luo Dajiang to wait in the yard for a while and went back to the house to get the medical kit.
After entering the house, his wife asked, "What brings you here?"
Luo Changshun replied: "Her elder sister was beaten by a man again. They said the injuries were quite serious."
The old lady said with some regret: "That girl was very smart when she was young, studied well, and was diligent. Who would have thought that she would be fooled away by a man like that? It's such a pity, alas..."
Shen Nan was reminded by Luo Changshun's wife's words, and instantly thought of something. He quietly reminded the people in the room: "Do you think Dajiang might be the son that Brother Zhao lost?"
A single stone stirred up a thousand waves. Several people in the house looked out the windows. Zhao Hongjun was even more excited, staring intently at the boy in the yard. His eyebrows and eyes were so similar to his son Xiaohui. He couldn't wait to rush out of the house, but was stopped by Luo Changshun at the door.
"Xiao Zhao, don't get excited yet. That child is indeed not the Luo family's biological child. He was bought when he was about three or four years old. But now there is no real evidence to prove that he is your son. If you rush out like this, it will be difficult to take the child away.
If things go wrong, the child might be hidden by that family, which would make it even harder to find him. You guys wait here for my news. I'll go to his house first to see what's going on, and then find a chance to bring Dajiang back. We can talk about other things later. I'll go there first."
Luo Changshun's words calmed Zhao Hongjun down a bit. Although he stopped the urge to rush out, he was still too excited and stammered, "Yes, yes, Uncle Luo, you are so thoughtful! I, I'm not in a hurry..."
