It has been 24 hours since the little star went missing.
Bu Ling saw Ling Wei again.
"I know where the child is." These were the first words Ling Wei said after arriving at the location.
That one sentence drew everyone's attention to her.
Ling Wei swallowed hard and gasped for breath: "But we still can't act rashly."
"Where is the child?" Bu Ling selectively ignored Ling Wei's last question.
Ling Wei emphasized once again: "We must not act rashly."
Sang Zi stepped forward, playing the good cop: "Comrade Ling Wei, we understand. Please tell us where the child is first, and then we can discuss this further."
These past few days have been the most thrilling time Ling Wei has experienced since she transmigrated, but seeing Sang Zi with her gentle smile still makes her heart flutter.
In other words, if the first face I saw after I traveled back in time looked like this, who would still be interested in someone like Han Weiguo?
It's all her fault for being so naive back then. She regrets it so much!
However, she only hesitated for a moment before saying, "In...in our compound."
As soon as she finished speaking, Sangshen rushed out like the wind, with Buling close behind. Sangzi quickly shouted to the two of them, "Stop!"
The two ignored him.
Sang Zi then said, "Dongzi, Zhiwei, stop them both."
Xie Dong and Lü Zhiwei exchanged a glance, then stepped forward and pulled the two men back.
"Don't be impulsive, let Sangzi finish speaking."
"Calm down!"
Seeing that the two had calmed down, Sang Zi turned to Ling Wei and asked with a gentle smile, "Comrade Ling, do you know where the child is in the compound?"
Ling Wei was captivated by his good looks: "The Sun family, the Sun family in the backyard."
Upon hearing this, both Bu Ling and Sang Shen frowned. The Sun family?
The two exchanged a glance. "Is it the Sun family next door to Sister Xu?"
“That’s right, it’s the Sun family.” Ling Wei said decisively, “But I don’t know exactly where your daughter is?”
Sang Zi was very understanding: "This is already very good, thank you, Comrade Ling."
Ling Wei was escorted downstairs, her body swaying gently.
Once only their own people were left in the office, Sang Zi asked, "Xiao Qi, how much do you know about the Sun family?"
Bu Ling answered for him: "Very little. I only know that he and his wife were workers in the machine factory and came to the compound on the same day as Sister Xu. Otherwise, they had a very low profile in the compound. Later we moved away, so I don't know much about them."
"Workers from the machine factory?" Sang Zi frowned, seemingly thinking of something, and strode to his desk to pick up the phone.
A moment later, Sang Zi put down the phone and came back. "Sun Siqing was born in 1923. He is forty-one years old this year and is a veteran employee of the machinery factory."
"I just asked. Sun Siqing is a very nice guy at the machinery factory. His wife is also not very prominent. The two of them have a very good reputation at the machinery factory."
“Sun Siqing and his wife were very well-connected at the machinery factory. Even the most difficult troublemakers could be approached by Sun Siqing, and the couple never hesitated to help others.”
“Normally, the two of them had no other hobbies or interests besides going to and from get off work. They only moved out of the staff dormitory when they were allocated a house two years ago.”
It sounds like Sun Siqing and his wife are the kind of people who are honest to the point of being naive.
However, everyone present was a shrewd individual, and they naturally sensed the incongruity in the conversation.
This Sun Siqing is excessively popular in the large machinery factory with tens of thousands of employees.
Normally, he doesn't stand out and doesn't reveal anything, so they didn't think there was anything wrong with him. But now that they've investigated, they've discovered that this person is incredibly popular, but he has almost no presence. He seems to be on the fringes of the machine factory, yet he's somehow deeply involved in every department of the factory.
We're all smart people, and Sun Siqing's behavior is very much like that of a certain type of person.
He was popular but had a low profile, seemingly an outsider, yet he was a common sight in the machine factory.
Despite his thoughts, Xie Dong remained skeptical: "How could Ling Wei know so much?"
"I don't know," Sang Zi said. "Dongzi is right. We can't put all our hopes on Ling Wei."
“That’s right.” Mulberry agreed.
Since it concerned his daughter, he dared not take any risks, especially since his family and Ling Wei's family had a feud.
He turned his head and looked at Sang Zi: "Brother?"
Sang Zi nodded to him: "The arrangements have been made."
Sang Shen was relieved, but he still couldn't sit still. "Lingling and I, shall we go back to the compound?"
“No.” This time, it was Lü Zhiwei who refused: “We mustn’t alert them.”
Sangzi shared the same sentiment, saying, "Xiaoqi, you and your sister-in-law are attracting too much attention now."
Mulberry knew this all too well, but he really couldn't stand sitting there waiting.
“I’ll go,” Lü Zhiwei suddenly said. “Not many people know about my relationship with my sister, so it’s most appropriate for me to go.”
Sang Zi frowned and thought for a moment before agreeing, "Okay, Zhiwei, go ahead."
If Ling Wei's information is correct, someone must be watching their movements, so it's better for them to remain still than to make a move.
As for Lü Zhiwei, he is a soldier by training and his professionalism goes without saying. In addition, he and Bu Ling are only colleagues on the surface, so it is indeed more appropriate for him to go.
Having obtained everyone's consent, Lü Zhiwei didn't delay and went downstairs immediately.
Xie Dong thought for a moment, then said, "I'll go out and check the situation." He then followed Xie Dong.
Only Sangzi, Sangshen, and Buling remained in the office. The three of them were extremely anxious, but dared not do anything. As mentioned before, they were definitely being watched by many eyes, and their every move would be scrutinized.
The atmosphere in the office was tense. Sang Zi took off her glasses, rubbed her temples, and poured a glass of water for Sang Shen and Bu Ling each to ease the tension: "Xiao Qi, sister-in-law, sit down and rest for a while."
Bu Ling and her companion sat down as instructed, but they still seemed uneasy. Seeing this, Sang Zi changed the subject and asked Bu Ling, "Sister-in-law, you seem to trust Comrade Ling Wei a lot. Aren't you afraid she'll deceive you?"
Bu Ling composed herself. "I don't believe Ling Wei, I believe the reasons she gave."
She explained, "When I visited my colleague in the hospital before, I saw Ling Wei behaving intimately with other men. Brother Lü and Manager Zhu were also there that day, so her reason is valid."
"Later, Sister Yuanyuan told me that Ling Wei and Han Weiguo had a fight. Although I don't know the reason, the claim that the two were at odds is probably true."
This morning, Ling Wei approached her not only because she wanted her help, but also because she still had a conscience.
Ironically, Ling Wei, a modern female college student, although foolish, selfish, and love-struck, is remarkably clear-headed when it comes to matters of principle.
Admittedly, Han Weiguo's identity was not revealed to Ling Wei, but having seen and experienced everything in the modern world, Ling Wei could naturally guess Han Weiguo's identity.
This is also the most important reason why Ling Wei approached her, and the reason why Bu Ling was willing to believe her.
People are selfish, but in this kind of situation, as long as you don't make any mistakes, there's still hope.
As for Ling Wei's affair with men, Bu Ling said that it was at most a moral flaw. Besides, given someone like Han Weiguo, it's only natural for Ling Wei to act this way, isn't it?
"Furthermore, Han Weiguo had his own ulterior motives; otherwise, he wouldn't have sent Ling Wei to deliver the message to us," Bu Ling added.
