Wang Dabao and Zheng Jun hurriedly left the courtyard and headed to the Xiao family's house.
On the way, Wang Dabao asked Zheng Jun what Section Chief Hu had to say about the matter.
Zheng Jun was startled and frowned, saying, "This afternoon, Section Chief Hu said that you could come to him with anything, and if you couldn't handle it or if you were having a headache while handling it, then you could go to him. So we haven't informed Section Chief Hu about this yet."
As soon as Zheng Jun finished speaking, he was kicked by Wang Dabao.
"You guys are so obedient, not telling him about something this big. Believe me, he'll ruin you tomorrow. Maybe Hu Ke and Director Xiao know each other, and besides, his presence is a sign of respect."
"Once you get there, quickly send someone to inform Section Chief Hu. When you go, knock on the door quietly, as he has elderly relatives at home."
Zheng Jun broke out in a cold sweat. Don't be fooled by Section Chief Hu's cheerful demeanor; it was only because Wang Dabao was present. It wasn't like this before.
Moreover, Wang Dabao is right. What if Section Chief Hu and Director Xiao know each other? If they find out tomorrow, they'll take all their anger out on them!
Director Xiao's real name is Xiao Zhenguo. He lives in the cadre building of the steel rolling mill. His house has two bedrooms and a living room, which is about 60 square meters. He is considered to be at the level of a section chief.
There were people inside and outside the house, and the doorway was blocked by neighbors. It seemed they had just returned from outside, but they still couldn't find the person.
Once inside, Zheng Jun quickly introduced Xiao Zhenguo, the person in question, to Wang Dabao.
Even sitting down, you could tell that Xiao Zhenguo was very tall and quite handsome for that era. Perhaps because he was the workshop director, he also had a certain air of authority about him.
At this moment, Xiao Zhenguo was comforting his tearful wife with red eyes. When he saw Wang Dabao arrive, Xiao Zhenguo immediately stood up from the sofa as if he had grasped a lifeline, and strode over to grab Wang Dabao's hand.
"Section Chief Wang, I... I beg you, please help me find my daughter. She's my only child, and we can't afford to lose her!"
Xiao Zhenguo's voice trembled, but he hadn't lost his composure yet. "I heard that you, Wang Ke, are still the deputy director of the police station. Could you please ask me to mobilize the officers at the police station? I will definitely repay you handsomely!"
Wang Dabao's expression was equally serious. He solemnly said, "Director Xiao, don't worry, we will do our best to search. I will contact the police station later and try to get them to send more people."
With tears in his eyes, Xiao Zhenguo repeatedly expressed his gratitude, saying that he would definitely repay the people who helped him find the body.
Wang Dabao waved his hand: "Don't talk about rewarding us. Our original intention was to find this child, not to covet your reward."
“I understand, I understand. I’ve been through a lot at my age, but losing my child is devastating for my family. I’m just panicking and talking nonsense.”
Xiao Zhenguo held Wang Dabao's hand and nodded repeatedly.
Wang Dabao glanced at Xiao Zhenguo's wife, who was in her forties, slightly overweight, and whose eyes were lifeless and whose spirits were extremely low.
Just as Xiao Zhenguo was about to pull Wang Dabao to sit down, a woman, or rather a woman, rushed over from the side.
"Da Bao, Da Bao, is that you, Da Bao? It's your Aunt Zhao!"
The woman, with tears still on her face, looked at Wang Dabao as if he were her savior.
When Wang Dabao finally realized what was happening, he saw that it was Zhao Da Maozi's wife from the village. What was she doing here?!
"Aunt Zhao, what are you doing here? Has my uncle arrived?"
Wang Dabao hurriedly helped Zhao Da Maozi's wife up with both hands. He could put on airs in front of others, but in front of the aunties in the village, he still had to be the child who ate food from many families.
Zhao Da Maozi's wife nodded while tears streamed down her face, her hands gripping Wang Dabao tightly: "He's here, he's here! Your uncle went out to look for Susu. Dabao, you have to help your aunt! Susu is my niece, my sister's only child. If she gets lost, it'll be the death of my sister!!!"
"Aunt Zhao, don't worry, your family is my family too. I will do my best to find them."
Wang Dabao helped Aunt Zhao to sit down on the sofa before looking at Xiao Zhenguo, who was dumbfounded.
Zhao Da Maozi's wife was an impatient person, so she quickly reached out and grabbed Xiao Zhenguo, "Brother-in-law, this is Da Bao, the one I told you about. He's Wang Da Bao, the one who's a big shot at the steel mill in our village."
These words surprised Wang Dabao. Xiao Zhenguo had become Aunt Zhao's brother-in-law, which meant that he had been demoted by a generation. But now was not the time to think about such things.
Wang Dabao immediately said, "Director Xiao, with Aunt Zhao's connection, I believe you can rest assured that I will do my best to find her. Now, please tell me the details of the situation as soon as possible."
Afterwards, Wang Dabao inquired in detail about Xiao Susu's daily habits, commuting routes, and other such details.
I discovered that this girl is extremely self-disciplined. Why do I say that? Because her life is really monotonous.
My daily routine consists of going to get off work, doing housework, reading, and exercising. Only on weekends do I occasionally meet up with classmates or friends to go shopping for half a day.
I never go home late after get off work. Even if I have something to do, I will go home first and tell my parents before going out.
Therefore, Mr. and Mrs. Xiao Zhenguo were absolutely certain that something had happened to their child.
She was the epitome of a well-behaved girl in the eyes of her parents and neighbors.
There was no rebellious behavior either. According to Xiao Zhenguo's description, he and his wife never restricted their daughter from doing this or that.
The couple even advised Xiao Susu to go out more on weekends, maybe even date, instead of always staying at home reading.
Unfortunately, that's just how my daughter is; she always just smiles and brushes them off.
After listening, Wang Dabao nodded, and then asked about Xiao Susu's clothing today before beckoning Zheng Jun over.
"Go to the factory and bring all the brothers who don't have night patrol duties over here. Go door to door along the route they went missing and ask around to find clues. This needs to be done quickly, so get on it."
