"Hello……"

Hearing the tiredness in Su Ruchu's voice, Chen asked, "What's wrong? You seem very tired?"

"I'm fine. Maybe I walked too much these past two days. I just need to rest for a while."

Su Ruochu asked with a smile: "Why did you call me? Did you miss me?"

Chen 꼎 asked with a smile: "Miss, what time is it today?"

"Didn't you say you were only going to be gone for five days? You should be back tomorrow."

"Chen 꼎..."

Su Ruochu hesitated for a moment, and seemed to be a little embarrassed to speak.

"Well...I may not be able to go back for the time being."

Chen 꼎 frowned: "What do you mean?"

Su Ruochu quickly explained: "Didn't I come to visit the children these two days? I also visited several families."

"Based on the results of the home visits, I got some information and I think there seem to be other reasons why children drop out of school."

"Other reasons?"

"Um."

"Li Feifei's mother works away from home, and her father is an alcoholic who drinks all day long."

"The tuition I gave to Li Feifei a while ago was actually asked back by her father from the school, and he used it all to buy alcohol."

"I contacted Li Feifei's mother, and she only then knew that her daughter had dropped out of school."

"As for Wang Erya and Song Chunxiao, their parents were also working in other places and had no idea that their children had dropped out of school."

"I contacted the school, and they said that except for Li Feifei, the other two children didn't even apply for dropout, and suddenly stopped coming to school."

"According to the teachers and the children's memories, when these three children were in school, every time they got out of school, there would be a few young men waiting for them on motorcycles at the school gate."

"Yanni told me that those young men had red and green dyed hair, and it was obvious at first glance that they were not good kids."

"Song Chunxiao's parents came back today and brought back some new news. They said they found a job for their daughter, working in a nightclub in the county town."

"Song Chunxiao's father went to look for his daughter, but was chased away and didn't see his daughter at all."

"They said their daughter was forced to work here..."

At this point, Su Ruchu paused.

"I think there is something fishy going on here. Especially in this nightclub, it is very likely that there is illegal behavior of employing minors."

Chen's heart sank. "Did the child's parents call the police?"

"I did. But the police said they went to check and there were no girls of theirs in the nightclub."

Chen 꼎꺗 asked: "How did Song Chunxiao's parents know where their daughter worked?"

"When they were looking for a young lady, they met a young lady from Lijiagou who worked as a waitress there. The girl told them that she had met Song Chunxiao."

Chen 꼎 understood a little.

"This matter is probably going to be quite troublesome and may involve some local forces."

"We still have to let them call the police themselves."

Su Ruochu hesitated for a moment and said, "I... I think there is news to be dug up here, so I called the newspaper leaders to discuss it. They also thought that the topic of child labor was a good one, so they agreed to my application for investigation."

Chen 꼎: “…”

"You want to interview this news?"

"I'm sorry, Chen. I should have discussed this with you in advance."

Chen 꼎 felt helpless.

My sense of honor as a daughter-in-law is so strong.

Especially after becoming a reporter, her sense of justice has become more obvious than before.

"Wife, listen to me, this is different from anything I have interviewed before."

"First of all, this incident happened in another city. It's easy for your newspaper to encounter obstacles when conducting interviews across regions."

"And if something unexpected happens, it could cause trouble."

"Also, it's too dangerous for you, a girl, to be out alone."

"Why don't you come back first..."

Su Ruochu said quickly, "It's not just me. The newspaper will send a photographer and several team members over tomorrow. I won't take any risks."

"And I promise you, I'm just doing regular interviews. If there's any trouble, I'll call the police immediately. OK?"

"Chen 꼎, they are all my students. I can't bear to see them in danger."

"How about this, if this matter is really troublesome to investigate, then I will just find the children and let my colleagues continue to investigate the news, and I will go back to Yunhai. Is that okay?"

"Honey, please. Just let me try..."

Seeing that his wife had said so much, Chen 꼎 sighed helplessly.

"All right."

"Yeah! I knew you were the best to me." Su Ruchu, the guy on the phone, shouted excitedly.

Chen 꼎 said unhappily, "Don't be so happy yet. I have to make three rules with you."

"You say."

"First, your bodyguard must always be with you wherever you go. You can let him be your driver, but you can't leave him alone."

"no problem."

"Second, don't take risks. Discuss everything with the team before making a decision. Don't try to be too individualistic."

"Yeah, that's fine."

"Third, if you find something is very troublesome, prepare to come back immediately. Let the local police handle all other calls."

"As long as you have clear evidence, once the newspaper reports it, the local authorities will definitely take action."

"So you don't need to rescue the child yourself, you just need to get the evidence. Do you understand?"

"Understood. I promise."

"Honey, thank you for supporting my work so much."

Chen 꼎 smiled helplessly: "Who told my wife to be a reporter, and a reporter with a strong sense of justice."

Su Ruchu smiled foolishly.

"I promise you, I will protect myself."

The two chatted for a while and hung up the phone, but Chen was still a little worried.

So he called Lin Xue and asked her to secretly investigate the situation of this nightclub that Su Ruo first mentioned.

After calling Lin Xue, Chen Rou was still a little worried.

I originally wanted to book a flight for tomorrow and go to Sichuan in person, but suddenly I remembered the reminder I gave myself during the day.

The day after tomorrow we have to sign a contract with the city regarding the implementation of the Macronix computer research and development center.

Tong Haoran from the city will personally attend the event, and it would be unacceptable if Chairman Chen 꼎 did not show up.

There was no other way but to call the bodyguard and ask him to keep an eye on Su Ruchu and report to him in detail every day what he did.

After handing over all this, Chen Rou finally breathed a sigh of relief.

…

The next day, we went to Xiakubo Town.

Standing on a desolate patch of ground, Bai Qingci glanced around while wearing sunglasses.

Then he turned his head and looked at Chen 꼎 beside him.

"Are you sure you want to build the R&D center here?"

Chen 꼎 nodded.

"Even if I don't understand business, I can see that this place is very desolate. Even the road we took when we came here is full of potholes."

"Are you sure you can build a factory here?"
