Mr. Li nodded.
"Comrade Li, is your daughter at home?"
Once Song Lan was sure she hadn't come to the wrong place, she quickly asked Li's father.
"She's in her own room. Comrade, is there something you need to see my Kexin about?"
Mr. Li became increasingly puzzled, wondering why Mr. Feng and Song Qingbin had brought people to his house looking for his daughter.
"My name is Song Lan. I do have something to ask Li Kexin. I would like to ask Li to arrange for Kexin to meet with me."
Even though Song Lan was anxious inside, she maintained a polite smile on her face.
"Okay, I'll call Kexin out right now."
As he spoke, Li's father took a step to call for help.
A moment later, Li Kexin appeared in front of Song Lan, following behind her father.
"Li Kexin, you made plans with Qin Yaxin to go shopping at the department store in the county town today, right?"
Upon seeing Li Kexin, Song Lan immediately asked to confirm.
Seeing that the other person nodded, Song Lan asked again, "Did you come back together?"
Li Kexin shook her head and said, "I came back before 2 p.m., and Yaxin ran into an acquaintance when we were leaving the department store."
I saw they were chatting very enthusiastically, so I went to wait aside. Later, Yaxin found me and said she would be back later.
She asked if I wanted to go to her friend's house with her, but I thought I had things to do at home, so I rode my bike back first.
"Friend? Can you tell me what Ya-xin's friend looks like?"
Song Lan frowned and asked Li Kexin.
"It's a girl, she looks a few years older than me and Yaxin, she..."
Li Kexin described the appearance of the acquaintance Qin Yaxin had met at the entrance of the department store in the county town. As she finished speaking, a figure flashed through Song Lan's mind.
"Lanlan, do you perhaps know her?"
Noticing the change in her expression, Qin Yanzheng asked casually.
"If I'm not mistaken, my second sister should have encountered Zhai Qiu."
"Zhai Qiu?"
"She's one of the two girls I rescued from kidnappers in the county town."
As Song Lan spoke, she shifted her gaze to Mr. Feng: "Uncle Feng, could I borrow the phone at our grain station?"
"Why can't this be done?!"
Mr. Feng said, "Then let's go to the grain station now."
"Has Ya-xin not come home yet?"
Li Kexin suddenly asked Song Lan.
"Um."
Song Lan looked at the other person and nodded slightly.
Li Kexin's eyes showed worry: "Yaxin will be alright, right? She might have stayed overnight at that acquaintance's house..."
"I hope so."
As Song Lan spoke, she nodded to Li's father as a farewell, and then left the Li family with Qin Yanzheng, Song Qingbin, and Feng's father.
-
Upon arriving at the grain station, Song Lan called home to ask if Qin Yaqing had returned. The response was no. Without hesitation, she asked Qin Yaqing to find the Zhai family's landline number in the phone book.
After Qin Yaqing gave the number, Song Lan quickly dialed and the call was connected. Hearing a female voice on the other end, she tentatively called out, "Zhai Qiu?"
"Sister Song Lan?! You're Sister Song Lan, right?"
Ever since Zhai Qiu, her best friend, and three children were rescued from child abductors by Song Lan, Zhai Qiu and her best friend Zhao Tiantian have maintained contact with Song Lan.
Even though they only see each other a few times a year, both Zhai Qiu and Zhao Tiantian idolize Song Lan.
It should be noted that during their limited meetings with Song Lan, they also became friends with Qin Yaqing and Qin Yaxin.
Therefore, Li Kexin said that Qin Yaxin met an acquaintance at the entrance of the department store, and based on her description, Song Lan was 80% certain that this acquaintance was Zhai Qiu.
"It's me."
Song Lan said, "I heard that Ya Xin ran into you outside the department store today and followed you home. Is she with you now?"
"ah?"
Zhai Qiu paused for a moment, then said, "Sister Song Lan, I did run into Ya Xin and invited her to my house for a while, but she left before four o'clock. Could it be... could it be that she hasn't gotten home yet?"
"No."
The distance from the county town to the machinery factory takes about 30 to 40 minutes by bicycle, but if you ride fast, it takes less than half an hour.
It's almost six o'clock now...
Song Lan didn't think any further. After exchanging a few brief pleasantries with Zhai Qiu, she ended the call and said to Qin Yanzheng:
"Let's head to the county town along the way."
"good."
Qin Yanzheng's expression was unusually serious at this moment, and his eyes were filled with worry.
"Little sister, I'll go to the county town with you!"
Song Qingbin's eyes were also full of worry.
Mr. Feng: "I'll go too. The more people searching, the greater the chances of finding it!"
“Uncle Feng, you and my eldest brother don’t need to come with us. My second sister might be on her way home.”
Song Lan didn't want to trouble Mr. Feng and Song Qingbin.
"Dad, you shouldn't go. Otherwise, Yuanyuan and Mom might get really worried if we don't come back soon."
Song Qingbin persuaded Mr. Feng to go home, giving very good reasons. After thinking for a moment, Mr. Feng could only nod and say, "Alright, I'll go home."
At the entrance of the grain station, Song Lan, Qin Yanzheng, and Song Qingbin got into the car, and the next moment, Yang Fan drove away quickly.
"System! System, are you there?"
With her gaze fixed outside the car window, Song Lan summoned the system in her mind.
[Host, this system is here!]
The system responded quickly.
Song Lan: "My sister-in-law, Qin Yaxin, has gone missing. I suspect something happened to her. Can you help me find her and see where she is now?"
[Host, you need to tell this system what exactly happened. This will give the system a preliminary clue and make it easier to find your sister-in-law more quickly!]
