After Shen Mingzhu briefly explained the situation, she brought Shen Zhemin to Liu Cuihua:

"Aunt Cuihua, I've found Officer Shen for you. If you have any ideas or suggestions, feel free to tell him."

"Aunt Liu, you should get up first. It's freezing cold. If you get sick from kneeling, it will be a burden to your family, right?"

Shen Zhemin tried to persuade her with both emotion and reason, but Liu Cuihua was determined not to change her mind.

"I won't get up until I find my Baolan!"

"Well, you come with us and look for it together."

Liu Cuihua hesitated: "I go to look for him? Where can I find him?"

"There are many ways. Go door to door with photos, post missing person notices, and you'll eventually find clues. As for the methods you mentioned, such as using police dogs and closing roads, I can also apply to my superiors."

"You kneeling here will only embarrass others and will not help the case at all. Why not ask your family to help you find the case together? More strength means more hope. Don't you agree?"

Without waiting for Liu Cuihua to speak, Shen Zhemin continued, "Your daughter is your own, but you are unwilling to take care of her, and yet you expect others to do their best. Isn't that unreasonable?"

As Shen Zhemin came forward, the opinions of passers-by also turned to Shen Mingzhu's side: "The police officer is right, old lady, helping is a favor and not helping is a duty. How can you have the nerve to force others to find your daughter for you when you don't even look for her yourself?"

"You're forcing people to give you special privileges through backdoors. How much has your daughter contributed to the country and society? Is it worth concentrating all the police forces in the city to find her? Are you going to ignore other cases?"

"What does your daughter's disappearance have to do with them? They don't owe you anything. You're crying and making a fuss here, affecting their business."

The criticism from passers-by made Liu Cuihua feel ashamed, and she was finally dragged away by Shen Zhemin reluctantly.

Although the farce subsided, Shen Mingzhu's mood was not calm.

Calling in police dogs, searching by helicopter, closing roads and setting up checkpoints, these are all things Yan Yi has done in the past.

Liu Cuihua suddenly came to her and accurately described these methods, obviously instigated by someone.

After much thought, Shen Mingzhu called Shen Zhemin and asked him to help get some information out of Liu Cuihua.

The food factory donates money and supplies to the Public Security Bureau every year, and just for this reason, Shen Zhemin would not refuse this small favor.

Half an hour later, Shen Mingzhu got first-hand information: "Auntie Liu said that a young woman she didn't know told her to come to you. You know someone powerful and influential. Not only can you help find Shen Baolan, but you can also get back the five million."

"Do you know what the other person looks like?"

"She said she couldn't remember clearly, but she had long hair, was thin, and dressed very fashionably. Oh, and she wore a purple jade bracelet on her hand."

Shen Mingzhu went through all the women she knew in her mind, but none of them matched her, so she simply gave up thinking about it.

If you are a fox, your tail will show up sooner or later.

…

Foshan Airport.

"Brother Yang, thank you for your hard work along the way."

As soon as they walked out of the airport exit, Zhou Shuhuan greeted the father and his two sons with a smile on his face, and considerately took the suitcase from Pei Yang's hand.

"The car is outside, let's go."

"Um."

After getting in the car, Pei Yang sat in the passenger seat, while Pei Ziheng and Pei Tang sat in the back seat.

Before he even sat down, Pei Tang leaned over the car window to look outside, "Brother, it's a coconut tree!"

Pei Ziheng leaned over, supported himself on the front seat with his hands, and held Pei Tangxu in his arms to prevent him from hitting his head if he didn't sit firmly.

"Um."

Seeing that Pei Tang liked to look at the trees, Zhou Shuhuan raised his hand to lower the car window and slowed down the speed.

"Why didn't my sister-in-law come with you?"

"She has a lot of work to do at the factory and can't leave. How are the wedding preparations going?"

"It's all handled by the wedding company, and you just need to go through the process."

"But it's the last time."

Feeling the seriousness in Zhou Shuhuan's tone, Pei Yang's emotions became complicated for a moment.

As a brother, he naturally hopes that Zhou Shuhuan has a happy family and a happy marriage.

But if Shen Baolan’s disappearance was really related to Zhou Shuhuan, it would be difficult for him to turn a blind eye.

When they arrived at the hotel, Pei Yang declined Zhou Shuhuan's arrangement and planned to take the two children out for fun by himself.

November in the Buddhist city is a season with gentle breeze and perfect sunshine.

The sky is as clean as a piece of blue paper, with cotton-like clouds suspended in the air. The flowers on both sides of the street are in full bloom, and with the rows of coconut trees, the scenery is breathtaking.

In order to let the children appreciate the scenery more intuitively, Pei Yang specially rented a convertible sports car, drove around the city, went to the riverside to ride a yacht, and ate seafood. He played until ten o'clock in the evening before returning to the hotel.

The wedding the next day was grand and lively.

Unlike the custom in Fengcheng, the wedding banquet here was held at night. After the banquet, Zhou Shuhuan was dragged to the bar by the best man to party.

After settling the brother and sister to sleep in the hotel, Pei Yang also went to the bar.

"Brother Yang, why are you here? Come in and have a drink!"

Seeing Pei Yang, Zhou Shuhuan enthusiastically wanted to pull him into the bar, but was pulled back. "Shuhuan, is it convenient? I want to chat with you."

As if sensing something, Zhou Shuhuan's smile faded a little, "Does it have to be now?"

"I'm leaving early tomorrow morning."

"Then wait for me, I'll go in and say hello."

"Um."

The two found a tea restaurant.

Zhou Shuhuan was so busy toasting and socializing the whole night that he had no time to eat, so he ordered more than a dozen snacks in one go.

Pei Yang ordered a pot of Ganpu tea.

After the tea came, Pei Yang poured half a cup for Zhou Shuhuan first, "Drink some tea to sober you up."

"Um."

After drinking, Zhou Shuhuan put down the empty cup and said, "Brother Yang, just say whatever you want to say."

Pei Yang picked up the kettle and refilled his tea before speaking: "Shuhuan, did you know Gao Hualiang before?"

Zhou Shuhuan took out a cigarette box and lit one, looking far away and asking, "Why do you think so?"

Pei Yang looked at him, "I hope I'm overthinking it. Tell me the truth. Does Shen Baolan's disappearance have anything to do with you?"

Just as Zhou Shuhuan was about to speak, the waiter knocked on the door and came in to serve the dishes, and the two of them fell into tacit silence.

One smokes and the other drinks tea.

After the waiter left, Zhou Shuhuan spoke up first: "Brother Yang, if this is really related to me, what are you going to do? Are you going to report me to the police station?"

Pei Yang replied: "I want to report you, so I will go there directly, and there will be no conversation tonight."

Zhou Shuhuan bit the cigarette and said nothing, just looking at him.

"It's best if it has nothing to do with you. Some things can be concealed for a while, but not forever. The police will get to the bottom of it sooner or later. You will never have peace in your life if you carry such a heavy burden in your heart."

Zhou Shuhuan put out his cigarette, picked up his chopsticks, picked up a crystal shrimp dumpling and stuffed it into his mouth, eating while saying:

"I just want a divorce, I don't want her life."

"She is stupid. I reminded her that Gao Hualiang is not a good person, but she didn't listen."

"She is like this, she never listens to advice. I told her not to compete with my sister-in-law and live our own lives peacefully, but she just thought I was talking nonsense!" (End of this chapter)
