"Brother," Chu Wujin suddenly called out.
Chu Wuyan, who was lost in thought, suddenly stood up and asked, "What did you find?"
"Come here."
Chu Wuyan walked over, and Chu Wujin asked, "Don't you think he looks a bit like Li Mancang?"
Li Mancang?
That bastard who kidnapped Xiaobao?
Chu Wuyan immediately perked up, his gaze fixed on the man's face on the hospital bed as if drawn by a magnet.
Don't tell me, you really shouldn't tell me.
When the name Li Mancang is applied to this person, his eyebrows, eyes, and overall features bear a striking resemblance to the human traffickers they remember.
How can this be verified?
While it may look similar, it's not entirely certain that this person was beaten so badly by Lin Xiaoxiao that even their parents wouldn't recognize them.
Chu Wuyan suddenly remembered the information he had learned from Li Mancang's wife, and raised an eyebrow at Chu Wujin, "Good brother, go and pull down his pants."
Chu Wujin: "..."
His facial expression was somewhat petrified.
Some were unwilling.
"You go." Chu Wujin wanted to get rid of this errand.
"Are you the older brother, or am I?" Chu Wuyan put his hand on his shoulder and gave him a push. "Go quickly, you're our glorious police officer, can't you even handle this little thing?"
When his professional convictions were questioned, Chu Wujin didn't hesitate any longer and went up to pull down the man's pants.
"grass!"
"That son of a bitch is really something."
The moment Chu Wuyan saw the birthmark on the man's buttocks, he rolled up his sleeves.
Chu Wujin grabbed him, his tone much calmer than his, "One more punch and you'll really die."
Having regained his senses, Chu Wuyan lowered his sleeves, his arms exposed and freezing cold.
Seeing Li Mancang covered in injuries, Chu Wuyan nodded in satisfaction, "Lin Meimei did a good job beating him, a wonderful job indeed."
"But this bastard didn't become a human trafficker, he became a murderer instead?"
Chu Wujin calmly analyzed, "According to the information from the investigation, this guy used to be a hoodlum. He has an older brother, and the only job in the family was transferred to his brother after he came of age. In order to avoid being sent to the countryside, he has been living around Beijing without a fixed place to live."
“The rural affairs office monitored him for a year but found nothing, so they stopped caring. Then they used extreme measures to ruin his current wife and forced her to marry her daughter to him, after which their son was born.”
"To support his son, he started dealing in the black market. He almost lost a hand because of his dishonest practices. With no other options, he began doing shady things."
“His first job was abducting Xiaobao. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have abandoned his wife and children after the abduction and fled to another place to hide for eight or nine months.”
"Perhaps the reason I'm coming out of seclusion this time is because the heat has died down."
Little did they know that as soon as he dared to show his face or appear at home, the Chu family would find out immediately.
He was met with legal judgment.
Chu Wuyan frowned. "This guy is obviously very cautious. He's even managed to resist going home after returning to the capital."
Otherwise, the Chu family would have caught him long ago, and there would have been no incident of him stabbing Lin Daiyu in the street.
"I have a suspicion now." Chu Wujin crossed his arms and tapped his fingers on his arms at a steady pace, a gesture he always made when thinking.
"What suspicions?" Chu Wuyan looked at him.
Chu Wujin said, "The person behind Li Mancang's abduction of Xiaobao and the person who ordered him to injure Comrade Lin, even if they are not the same person, know each other and have a good relationship."
Chu Wuyan's pupils contracted slightly. "What do you mean?"
"What a coincidence." Chu Wujin rarely showed a smile. "There are two possibilities why Li Mancang returned to Beijing but didn't go home."
"First, either the previous 'customer' contacted him again and gave him a satisfactory price, which allowed him to climb out of the gutter."
"Secondly, as I just said, perhaps he felt the heat had died down before returning to Beijing. So why didn't he go home? Someone must have warned him that we weren't going to let him go and were keeping an eye on his family."
"In that situation, his continued presence in Beijing and acceptance of another order suggests he's planning to make one last quick buck and then retreat back to his old ways."
"This order was either placed by the previous customer or referred by the previous customer."
Chu Wuyan chuckled, "In the capital, there aren't many people who have a grudge against Lin Daiyu, are related to our family, and can get in touch with Xiaobao."
We've reasoned about this far enough.
It's only a matter of time before we uncover who's behind this.
"I'll go to Lin Daiyu's place again later. You'd better have someone keep a close watch on that scoundrel," Chu Wuyan said.
Chu Wujin glanced at Li Mancang's still-unresolved bones and offered a polite smile. "Excuse me, how is he going to escape?"
It's not that he's arrogant, but given Li Mancang's current physical condition, he'd kick the bucket within half an hour of leaving the hospital.
Chu Wuyan added, "It's best to be cautious; we've already detained him for eight or nine months."
If the person behind this cannot be found, it will always be a hidden danger for them.
Chu Wujin nodded, "Don't worry, I'll send a few people over to keep watch. Remember to tell Dad and Second Uncle about this."
"OK."
Chu Wuyan estimated when Lin Xiaoxiao would wake up and brought nutritional supplements to her door again.
"This time I've really suffered a lot; I'll need at least ten days to two weeks to recover."
"Should I ask Director Fan for leave for you? What if he suddenly assigns you a task?"
Upon entering, seeing Lin Xiaoxiao drinking water, I proactively offered a suggestion.
Having worked in the bureau for so many years, he was well aware of how things were done above.
An emergency task might come up at any time, and as long as you haven't asked for leave, you have to get it done quickly, even during your normal vacation.
Lin Xiaoxiao thought about it and realized it made sense, so she nodded and said, "Yes, thank you."
Chu Wuyan dared not accept her thanks, as Lin Xiaoxiao had helped the Chu family in countless ways.
"Does the wound still hurt?" Chu Wuyan glanced at her arm.
He witnessed the entire suturing process and was deeply impressed by Lin Xiaoxiao's perseverance and patience.
He could suture without anesthesia and endure the pain without crying out, but to do it like Lin Xiaoxiao, who barely flinched, was truly amazing.
It was impossible for it not to hurt, but it was within Lin Xiaoxiao's tolerance level.
So she said, "It's okay."
Knowing that she was alright, Chu Wuyan began to get down to business.
After explaining Li Mancang's identity and his and Chu Wujin's conjectures, he asked, "Do you have any enemies in Beijing?"
Otherwise, how could they be so vicious as to pay someone to stab them in the back?
If you poke it at the wrong angle, it won't be as simple as just getting injured.
“Enemies,” Lin Xiaoxiao chuckled, “there are just too many.”
But in the end, it seems to be just the Lin family and the Qin family, mother and son.
Qin Yu glanced at Lin Xiaoxiao's belly, a cold glint in his eyes, and said, "The Qin family."
