Song Shishi and Su Yao were talking when Li Ming and Xie Yushan also walked into the room.
When they saw Song Shishi, they expressed their concern for her for a few words and then started talking about business.
Everyone discussed the negotiation matters for a while, and Song Shishi participated in the afternoon negotiations with Xie Yushan and others. She experienced more deeply the struggle without gunpowder at the negotiation table.
After the negotiations, Xie Yushan invited Song Shishi to have dinner with them, but Song Shishi was worried about Zheng Zeqian and declined politely.
Her uncle is now alone in Haicheng, and she doesn’t have much time to spend with him. If she can have dinner with Zheng Zeqian, she still wants to accompany him.
When she returned to the courtyard, Song Shishi found that the house was empty and her uncle Zheng Zeqian had not returned yet.
When Zheng Zeqian sent her to the guesthouse in the morning, he clearly said that he would come back for dinner in the evening.
Song Shishi had just put on her apron and was about to cook dinner when the auntie from next door knocked on her door.
"Well... my last name is Zhang, and I live next door to you. Your uncle helped our family before. When you moved in, he was afraid that you would have no one to help you, so he came to say hello to us. So I thought I should tell you about this."
...
...
Seeing Aunt Zhang seeming to want to say something but hesitant, Song Shishi couldn't help but frown.
Did something happen to my uncle?
Or is it because of something else?
"Aunt Zhang, if you have anything to say, just tell me."
Aunt Zhang whispered, "When I came back today, I heard someone say that your uncle seemed to have been taken away by a group of people. They said it was related to his business. I don't know if it's true, so don't worry too much."
When Song Shishi heard this, her head buzzed and her heart was instantly in suspense.
She suppressed her panic, thanked Aunt Zhang, found out where Zheng Zeqian often went recently, took off her apron and rushed out.
She ran to all the shops and factories that Zheng Zeqian often went to, trying to find out more about Zheng Zeqian, but all she got was a shake of the head and ignorance.
As the sky gradually darkened, a depressing atmosphere filled the streets of Haicheng.
Song Shishi was extremely anxious, she knew that her uncle must be in big trouble.
She doesn't know anyone in Haicheng. If something happens to Zheng Zeqian, who can she turn to for help?
At this moment, Song Shishi suddenly thought of a business partner whom Zheng Zeqian had mentioned when he was bragging in front of her: Uncle Jiang.
Uncle Jiang has been working in Haicheng for many years and has a wide network of contacts and a lot of experience, so maybe he knows something.
So, based on the clues provided by Zheng Zeqian in her memory, Song Shishi asked many people and found Uncle Jiang's home overnight.
Uncle Jiang didn't know Song Shishi. Seeing such a young girl coming to his house so late at night, Uncle Jiang looked outside and then led her into the house.
"Whose little girl are you? Why do you want to talk to me so late at night?"
In fact, Song Shishi was also a little scared, but thinking that this was the only person she could find who had the opportunity to help Zheng Zeqian, she kept encouraging herself in her heart.
"Uncle Zhao, I'm Zheng Zeqian's niece, my name is Song Shishi."
When Uncle Jiang heard Zheng Zeqian's name, he withdrew his gaze and became more clear about the purpose of Song Shishi's visit.
Uncle Jiang turned around and made tea for Song Shishi.
"Uncle Zhao, I heard from others that my uncle was taken away by a group of people. They said it was related to his business. Do you know why? I really don't know who to look for, so I came to you."
Song Shishi tried her best to explain.
"Your uncle is being targeted this time."
Uncle Jiang said solemnly: "His business is so good that he has taken away some people's jobs.
When he was overseas, no one could do anything to him.
Now that he is back in Haicheng, those people will naturally not let him go easily.
Recently, there is a man named Liu Mazi, who has a powerful force behind him and has been trying to swallow up your uncle's business.
I heard that they found an excuse today and took your uncle away, saying they were going to send him to the Revolutionary Committee."
"Revolutionary Committee?"
Song Shishi frowned, "Uncle Zhao, do you know which Revolutionary Committee they took him to? How can I rescue my uncle?"
Uncle Jiang shook his head helplessly. "I'm not sure about that. Liu Mazi and his gang are always unscrupulous. I guess they just want to find an excuse to mess with your uncle. Shishi, you have to be careful. They are not easy to mess with."
Uncle Jiang obviously had no way to deal with this group of people, and Song Shishi couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
But now at least she knew who took Zheng Zeqian away, so she didn't have to wander around like a headless fly anymore.
After saying goodbye to Uncle Jiang, Song Shishi stood on the dark street with mixed feelings.
She knew that she couldn't just sit there and wait for death, and she had to find a way to rescue her uncle.
But the other party's forces are complicated and she has no power or influence. Where should she start?
Song Shishi suddenly thought of Xie Yushan.
Xie Yushan has a certain influence in the diplomatic community and is knowledgeable. Even if he can't help her, he can at least give her some advice.
Early the next morning, Song Shishi came to the guesthouse again and found Xie Yushan.
She told Xie Yushan everything about Zheng Zeqian's experience, her eyes full of anxiety.
After hearing this, Xie Yushan's face became very serious. "I didn't expect such a thing to happen in Haicheng. These people are really too much. They will do anything for their own selfish interests."
"Mr. Xie, can you help my uncle?"
Song Shishi said anxiously, "I can't just watch him being bullied by bad guys."
Xie Yushan pondered for a moment and said, "This matter is indeed very difficult and involves some complicated local relationships.
However, we cannot just sit back and do nothing.
I have a friend who works in the government department in Haicheng. Maybe I can learn more about the situation through him and see if we can find a solution.”
After hearing this, Song Shishi felt a glimmer of hope in her heart.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Xie. I will do anything to save my uncle."
Xie Yushan patted Song Shishi on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, go back and wait for my news. During this period, you should also pay attention to your own safety. If there is any new situation, please tell me at any time."
Song Shishi nodded and left the guesthouse.
After what happened to Zheng Zeqian, she had no intention of attending any negotiations. She was just there to listen anyway.
After returning to the courtyard, she was restless, pacing in the room, looking at the door, looking forward to news from Xie Yushan.
However, a day passed and no news came from Xie Yushan.
After much hesitation, Song Shishi called her uncle Zheng Zecheng who was in Beijing.
She couldn't let Zheng Peilan know about her uncle's affairs for the time being.
Zheng Peilan has a bad heart. If she can't stand the shock and something happens again, and she is not around, it will be too late to regret.
My uncle is very powerful, so he should be able to find a way.
But when I called my uncle's house, my aunt said that my uncle was not there.
Her aunt asked her if something happened, and Song Shishi just said that she would call again when her uncle came back.
When things were still unclear, she didn't know how to explain it to her aunt.
I couldn’t contact my uncle, and there was no news from Xie Yushan either.
Song Shishi was extremely anxious, and she decided that she couldn't just wait like this any longer.
