Chapter 186
Leyuan was somewhat helpless. He explained that he was not a thief and he did not knock the man unconscious. He lifted the face of the man on his back and showed it to the old man, signaling to him that the expression on the man's face did not show that he had just been beaten.
The old man was skeptical, but seeing that he didn't look guilty at all, he reluctantly believed it and kept telling him to be careful recently. It seemed that there were strangers sneaking in here. Normal people would not come here casually. If someone passed by the door in a sneaky manner, there must be a problem. If you see someone like that, remember to tell him, or call the police.
Leyuan nodded, and the old man talked for a while before letting him go.
Leyuan brought Boss Liang back to his residence. It was after noon when Boss Liang woke up. He was lying on the bed in a daze, his face was pale, there were tears in the corners of his eyes, and his cheeks were red, as if he didn't know what he had said before.
He looked ill, listless and low in spirit.
"What's wrong with me?"
Boss Liang asked about the park.
"I don't know, you suddenly became like this, and I brought you back."
Paradise replied.
"What happened before?"
Boss Liang cares.
Paradise told him something.
He didn't feel any better after hearing this; instead, he became even sadder.
“I suddenly don’t know what I should do.”
Boss Liang whispered to Leyuan.
"I'm very sad now. I don't want to do anything, but when I think about my child still missing, I feel like I can't just lie down like this. But what can I do?"
Boss Liang leaned against the bed, wiped his face, and looked like he had given up on himself.
"Your sister called and told me an address. It's the address of your ex-wife's sister. Do you want to go and see her? Maybe you can find her there."
Paradise asked.
His question immediately brought up the main point.
Boss Liang stood up, looking a little shocked, as if he had heard nothing just now, and suddenly he perked up.
"Is there really an address? Is there really a phone number? Who called you? How did she have your phone number?"
Boss Liang chased after Leyuan and asked.
The old man sighed and had to repeat what he had just said.
"Your sister told me the address and called you. You can check it out for yourself.
I didn't delete the record.
I already said that it was your sister who called you. Of course she didn't have my phone number because the call was made to your phone number.
Isn't it normal for your sister to have your phone number?
I just said so much in vain. Did you not hear anything, or do you know nothing?"
Paradise asked Boss Liang.
Boss Liang took out his cell phone and checked it. Sure enough, he found the record of the call that had been made not long ago in the call records that had not been deleted.
"Just in case there are any recordings, you should know where the recordings are in your phone. They are the call recordings."
Paradise added.
Boss Yang listened to the recording happily, then immediately stood up and went out to look for someone.
"Are you sure you want to go now? It's late now. Who knows what will happen? And it's not good to go empty-handed. After all, he is your relative."
Le Yuan was a little hesitant and tried to persuade him from behind.
Boss Liang couldn't hear anything at all. He was in a trance and seemed to only remember looking for his child. He opened the door and walked out.
He only remembered to answer Paradise after he walked out.
"It's okay. We can buy fruits and flower baskets outside. She probably won't mind. Even though I married my ex-wife, I didn't have any close relationship with her sister.
Our relationship was just average before, and it became even more distant after I divorced her sister. It was good enough to have something, what else did she want?
Don't take her too seriously. We just went to ask. It's normal even if we went to her house. You also said that we are relatives, not strangers without any connection.
Would someone who has no bad intentions still be afraid when they visit someone's house? Although you and I are both men and there is a woman there, we would be afraid if we saw someone opening the door, but we still have the option of not opening the door.
I won't force the door to open.
As long as we can talk and there is someone at the door, it doesn't matter whether the door is open or not. I don't have to go in. Is there any benefit for me in forcing my way in?
Do you think I don't know that someone might call the police? Do you think I don't know that the current situation is unclear? Do you think I don't know that others are unlikely to believe me?
Speaking of calling the police, I should have called the police if I couldn't find my child, but how should I say it? I really couldn't think of any words. This was also very embarrassing.
Although the shame is nothing compared to the life of my child, what should I do if I lose face and cannot find my child?
I lost my wife and my soldiers.
I won't take responsibility for this.
If I hadn't called the police, maybe the child would have been alive.
As long as I don't call the police, maybe the child is just lost and will come back soon.
As long as I don't call the police, maybe the child has been taken away by someone and can be brought back as long as I pay money.
No matter how you come back, as long as you come back, it's fine.
Isn't this a simple thing?
Is this too much to ask?
Don't look at me like that.
I'm going there now.
I don't care what people over there think or do.
How could he be gone in broad daylight?
Even if I'm not here during the day, I can wait until night.
I don't care how long I have to wait.
I am extremely worried now.
But didn’t I search for so long before?
I had a nightmare and was so upset, but didn't I still persevere and find you to solve the problem?
Don’t be too greedy.”
Boss Liang seemed to be trying to convince himself.
He murmured and repeated the last sentence.
"Don't worry, the child will come back."
These words spoken now are without basis, like duckweed on the water being moved by the wind.
Leyuan looked at him like this and didn't know what to say for a moment, so he could only accept it.
Boss Liang asked him if he wanted to go with them, and Leyuan had no choice but to agree.
Boss Liang looked mentally ill, and who knows what would happen if he was provoked further. Rather than quarreling with him and causing trouble for both of us, it would be better to obey him.
If obeying him can solve the problem, then that's great. If obeying him doesn't solve the problem, at least he will calm down a little.
It's better than a direct fight.
After weighing the pros and cons, Paradise convinced itself.
He was calm and followed Boss Liang to the address.
This address is a small building with no gate, no security, no other people, and no children.
There is a school gate in the distance, but the school is separated from here by at least one street, so the children in the school will not come here easily.
Walking up from the first floor, the walls are painted in a riotous manner, as if someone once opened a kindergarten here, and those colorful graffiti were for children to see.
If the light is bright, it does look nice.
But when we arrived, the sky had changed a little. There were heavy dark clouds, and it felt gloomy and chilly walking on the road. It felt even darker when we reached the stairs.
You can see it without a flashlight, but you have to be careful where you step. Look around and you'll see graffiti on the walls, green and red, which becomes increasingly eerie.
The red ones are small flowers, the green ones are small grasses, and there are also winding birds.
But in dim light, the red looks like eyes, the green looks like blood, and the curved bird looks like the sickle of death, ready to slit your throat.
Everything is so bad.
Leyuan had a hunch that even if he went up there in time he wouldn't get the answer, but he didn't say anything and didn't intend to persuade anyone.
Because he knew that persuading her now would be fruitless.
Boss Liang won't listen to him.
Originally, their relationship was not close, and in the mind of Mr. Liang, perhaps if she walked up to him she would be able to see his child, and he would not listen to anything she said.
It doesn't matter who speaks.
When they arrived at the place, the door was closed and it was dark all around. It seemed that someone lived there. There was some garbage at the door, probably that the neighbors were going to carry it down themselves later.
But when I knocked on the door, there was no sound. It was quiet and silent, as if there was no one inside, or if there was someone, that person was dead.
If the door cannot be opened from the inside, it cannot be opened from the outside either.
They waited outside the door for a long time. It was getting dark and almost time for dinner, but no one was in the mood to eat. They kept waiting, but still no one came when it was time for supper.
My stomach growled.
A man came in from outside carrying food.
Boss Liang stood up suddenly, thinking that the man was the one he was looking for, but after taking two steps forward he realized it was not him. He walked back and sat down in disappointment, and the man was startled.
He stood at the staircase for a long time with food in his hands. When he came to his senses, he took a cautious step forward to look at the two people blocking the door. He found that he didn't know them, which made him even more scared.
"Who are you?"
"We are here to look for someone. This should be the residence of my ex-wife's sister."
Boss Liang replied.
He hesitated and did not tell the whole story.
"It sounds like you two aren't close, why did you come here suddenly?"
the stranger asked.
"I heard someone died and they were going to hold a funeral, so I came to ask if it was true."
Boss Liang was getting a little impatient because he had been waiting for a long time and was being questioned again.
"Did you see any children around here?"
Paradise asked.
“Although I live here, I don’t usually see children.”
After saying something, the stranger was no longer so scared. He walked to the door, took out his key and prepared to open the door of his house.
He opened the door and saw a middle-aged woman who looked like his mother.
The middle-aged woman had a loud voice and was startled to see two people outside the door, but she was very enthusiastic and asked them if they wanted to be her guests, if they wanted to have dinner, and if they had a place to stay that night.
They both declined.
A stranger put food on the shoe cabinet at home and asked his mother if there were any strange children nearby recently.
His mother thought about it and initially said no, but then she suddenly remembered and changed her story and said yes: "I was taking out the trash at night and saw a child running outside the door. When I opened the door, he got shy and disappeared.
Right there.”
