Dai Donglin remained silent with a sullen face. Seeing that he was not happy, Aunt Miao awkwardly took the child and went to the inner room.
When Chu Yu returned, Dai Donglin served her rice. Aunt Miao pursed her lips, thinking to herself that the male head of the household was really good, actually serving rice to the female head of the household. Since ancient times, it has been women serving men, how can a man serve a woman?
Chu Yu had just taken a few bites when she heard Yu Guihua come in looking for her, saying that Yuanyuan was missing.
"Gone?" Dai Donglin frowned. "How could it be gone? When did it disappear?"
"Who knows? Yuanyuan's kindergarten teacher, Beibei, came to our house for a home visit when she noticed Yuanyuan wasn't at school. Who knew that Wei Mingyuan's mother would say that the child was missing? Qiao Shanshan and Wei Mingyuan were worried sick at home. Neither of the adults knew the child was missing. Wei Mingyuan's mother didn't dare to say anything, which is why it was delayed."
"How many days has the child been missing?" Chu Yu asked, frowning.
“It seems like it’s been two or three days. I can’t say where it went missing. I just know that the child went out with her and disappeared without her noticing. She said she was afraid the children would blame her when she came back, so she didn’t dare to tell them and has been dragging it out until now.”
Chu Yu felt that what Wei's mother said might not be the truth.
"Did you call the police?"
"The Wei family didn't call the police, saying they found it themselves first."
"They just won't call the police? An adopted child can just disappear like that. Who knows what they're up to? These days, it's so easy to lose a child. Not to mention losing them, it's common for them to kill them. If they hadn't called the police, this child might have just disappeared without a trace."
Yu Guihua was a little frightened. Qiao Shanshan and Wei Mingyuan seemed normal enough, but she didn't expect them to be this kind of people.
Chu Yu picked up the phone and called the police immediately. Dai Donglin picked up his clothes and said in a low voice, "I'll go out with you to look for it."
Yu Guihua nodded repeatedly, "I'll talk to the others in our compound and we'll all go out and look for it separately. The problem is, we don't know where it's lost. Mother Wei says it was lost on the road, and then she says it was lost in the mountains."
Chu Yu frowned and called Luo Kangcheng directly. When Luo Kangcheng heard that the child was missing, and since it happened to be in his jurisdiction, he brought his men over. Chu Yu greeted Luo Kangcheng, and Luo Kangcheng went directly to the Wei family.
Wei Mingyuan was also a little flustered, but fortunately he had a good mental fortitude. When he saw Luo Kangcheng pause for a moment, he invited him in.
“When and where did the child go missing? Tell us clearly.”
Luo Kangcheng was the director's man. His voice was deep and authoritative. As soon as he spoke, he intimidated Wei's mother. Wei's mother was a little flustered by his gaze and trembled, unable to speak clearly for a long time.
Luo Kangcheng frowned. "You just said the child was lost on the way to a relative's house, but now you say he was lost while hiking. You've mentioned several places where he was lost, so where exactly was he lost? If you don't tell the truth and deceive the police, we have the right to take you back for investigation."
Luo Kangcheng said this to deceive her, but Mother Wei was easily frightened and blurted out:
"I don't know either. I lost it while hiking on my way to a relative's house."
"Where do your relatives live? What's their name? When did you meet them? Tell me all of this and we'll go over and find out."
Ms. Wei was surprised that the police would come. She felt that since her child was missing, why should the police come and take responsibility if she didn't report it to the police herself? She was thinking of making up a relative to give an explanation to others, but she forgot to make up the relative's home address.
Wei's mother's hometown is over a thousand miles away from Beijing. Where would she have any relatives near Beijing? She was just lying to others. Now that Luo Kangcheng was pressing her for details, Wei's mother really didn't know what to do.
Mother Wei was trembling with fear and couldn't speak, so she simply sat down on the ground and wailed loudly:
"God, just let me die! I'm a sinner of the Wei family! I'm useless, I can even lose a child. I'm sorry to my son and daughter-in-law, and I'm sorry to Yuanyuan!"
Luo Kangcheng frowned. He was most afraid of encountering shrewish women like this when investigating cases, making it seem as if the police were making things difficult for her.
Luo Kangcheng gave Chu Yu a wink. Chu Yu walked out the door, and Luo Kangcheng frowned and said:
“She’s probably lying. Since she won’t say where she went missing, we can only send people to continue questioning her while we go out to search. I’ll contact all the branch offices to see if there are any missing little girls in the vicinity. This child may have been missing for several days. It’s still quite cold now. She’s been gone for several nights. We don’t know what she might have encountered.”
Chu Yu's expression also turned serious. This Wei mother was no good. In fact, the entire Wei family were bad apples. They couldn't have children of their own, so they had to adopt, and then they didn't know how to cherish the adopted children.
