The compound.
Ren Zhaodi rushed over, but Jiang Jingzhou wasn't home. Hua Xiuyun frowned when she saw her anxious look. "What's wrong? Zhaoyue isn't home. You can tell me what's urgent. I'll tell her when you get back."
"Auntie, she hasn't come back?"
Ren Zhaodi swallowed hard and stared at Hua Xiuyun with wide eyes.
No,
"Where did she go today?" Ren Zhaodi asked again.
"Zhaoyue said she's going back to her parents' home today, and it'll be almost time for her to return. What's wrong?" Hua Xiuyun urged her to speak quickly, seeing how anxious she was.
“Oh no! When I was at the state-run restaurant just now, I heard Zhaoyue calling me from the car. The car didn’t stop, and it was going so fast. I was worried something had happened, so I came to see if she was back. Where did she go in such a hurry? If you don’t know, I’ll go to the hospital to ask again.” As Ren Zhaodi spoke, Hua Xiuyun sensed something was wrong in her words.
How fast were you driving?
Hua Xiuyun's expression changed.
She had instructed Old Li that the car shouldn't go too fast when Zhaoyue was traveling. He couldn't possibly make such a basic mistake. Even if it was something important, why would Zhaoyue call for Ren Zhaodi in the car? Some things don't make sense.
"soon!"
Ren Zhaodi didn't know the exact speed, only that it was very fast. "You can't drive this fast on the street normally, it's easy to cause an accident!"
"Okay, I understand." Hua Xiuyun nodded anxiously, her eyes darkening. "Zhao Di, if you drive me to the hospital now, is it possible for Zhao Yue to go to the hospital as well?"
"Let's go quickly!" Ren Zhaodi said hurriedly. "Auntie, don't worry, we'll know once we get there!"
Lin Zhaoyue was not at the hospital, nor at the research institute, nor did she go to find Jiang Jingzhou. She had just returned from the Lin family home; she had disappeared.
It's like she's vanished into thin air. And Lin Zhaoyue would usually be home by now, but there's not a trace of her.
The Jiang family.
Hua Xiuyun looked up at her son Jingzhou and hesitated before saying, "We can't just wait here for news from the police. Our own family also needs to go out and look for the person. The more people there are, the more we can do, and we'll try to find the person as soon as possible."
"Mom, if what Ren Zhaodi said is true, and Zhaoyue didn't go anywhere, she might have been kidnapped!"
Jiang Jingzhou said in a low voice, "I have to wait here for them to contact us first. If they really wanted to kill someone, they would have done it already. Ren Zhaodi would never have run into them."
"Auntie, I think his analysis makes sense!"
Ren Zhaodi said seriously, "We can't be too high-profile when looking for someone, lest we alert them. We need to decide based on the situation."
"I'd like to see who dares to kidnap my family!" Jiang Guofu said aggressively, pacing back and forth in the room with one hand on his hip, trying to calm his agitation.
"Could you please stop hovering in front of me? You're making me dizzy."
Hua Xiuyun said with annoyance, "I can't get in touch with Lao Li now, and I don't know what's going on at his house. In my opinion, it's very likely that you two have made some enemies outside, and since they can't target you, they've set their sights on Zhaoyue!"
"I don't have any enemies." Jiang Guofu couldn't recall offending anyone; he had never argued with anyone.
"I don't have any either..." Jiang Jingzhou frowned, clearly impatient. Every minute he waited here was agonizing.
"I don't think it necessarily has anything to do with those two." As he spoke, Lin Erwu stepped into the house and continued, "Have you contacted the Huang family? What did they say?"
"No contact!"
Hua Xiuyun's expression suddenly changed. "What do you mean? Could it be that this matter is related to the Huang family? No matter what, Zhaoyue is their niece. How dare they lay a hand on their own niece?"
“They’re capable of anything. Let alone Zhaoyue, even if her mother were alive, they would still do anything if it affected their interests. They have no concept of family ties. Their relationship has never been good.” Lin Erwu said seriously, “I think there’s a high probability that this matter is related to them. It would be best to have someone investigate.”
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Jiang Jingzhou went to take a look first.
"It's definitely not okay for you to go by yourself. I'll go with you."
Lin Erwu wanted to follow, and Jiang Jingzhou didn't stop him.
If he goes, some things might be easier to handle.
...
When Lin Zhaoyue was taken to the Huang family, the first person she saw was Huang Zizhong. Apart from him, she didn't recognize anyone else.
Yu Shuangjiang looked Lin Zhaoyue up and down, then burst out laughing, "You really do look a lot like your mother. No wonder the old lady and the old man like you so much. Not long after you were recognized as family, they were willing to transfer all their assets to you. It seems that you and your mother are both quite shrewd."
At this point, Yu Shuangjiang paused, raising an eyebrow slightly, "It's just that your mother had bad luck. She died so young because of childbirth. Honestly, you haven't had any contact with the family for so many years, why did you have to contact them now?"
"What do you want with me here?!"
Lin Zhaoyue had no intention of reminiscing with her and said coldly.
"Thank you for your hard work, Lao Li. You can go down and collect your money now." Yu Shuangjiang ignored Lin Zhaoyue and said to the driver.
The man glanced at Lin Zhaoyue with a somewhat unpleasant expression before finally leaving.
Lin Zhaoyue: "..."
"Young lady, here's what I'm doing. I don't mean to make things difficult for you. As long as you can transfer all the things that the old man and the old woman gave you to me, I guarantee you'll be able to leave here safely today."
Yu Shuangjiang said, "Even if you don't value your own life, you still have to consider the baby in your belly, right? You don't want your baby to never see the sun before it's even born!"
Lin Zhaoyue subconsciously reached out to protect her stomach, glaring warily at Yu Shuangjiang. This woman spoke in a light and airy tone, but in reality, she was ruthless.
"Mom, why did you bring him here! I think we should have just taken him to some godforsaken place and disposed of him."
Huang Zizhong said irritably.
He glared fiercely at Lin Zhaoyue, his anger rising as he recalled the day her husband had beaten him.
Beggars!
"Don't always talk about fighting and killing. You should leave yourself some leeway. I don't want to have so much blood on my hands," Yu Shuangjiang said calmly. "Zhaoyue, I'll ask you one last time, do you want money or your own life? I don't have the patience to waste time with you here. Just make your choice, and I'll listen to you!"
Nonsense! What's the point of money if you're dead?
Lin Zhaoyue will definitely choose her own life.
