A large number of personnel have been deployed to conduct a wide-ranging search, and they have found some clues. Someone discovered dried bloodstains.

When he heard about the blood, Zhu Yaowu's heart sank.

On the third day, after Ji Ling and her team arrived at the place where Zhu Weidong disappeared, they found new clues. They saw traces of something being dragged in the grass and wolf footprints.

This is very bad news.

On the day Ji Ling and her team arrived, they expanded the search area to an area within a radius of thirty miles, and conducted a carpet search, and found a piece of torn coat fabric.

Xiao Li recognized that it was the material of the cotton coat that Zhu Weidong was wearing.

Ji Ling also recognized the material, although it was of a different color, but this coat was bought from Hong Kong by her mother-in-law through a friend. The material was very thick and the whole coat was very warm.

Ji Ling held the cloth tightly. Everyone looked at her and no one dared to step forward and speak.

I really don't know how to persuade her.

Four or five days have passed. Even if we are not injured, we would not be able to hold on in this desolate place without food or water.

"Sister-in-law." Zhu Yaowu stepped forward.

His voice was hoarse. During the past few days on the road, his sister-in-law rarely spoke and was unusually silent.

On the way, he received a call from home, asking him to persuade the child more, but when he saw the person in person, he couldn't bring himself to say the words of persuasion.

At this time, dozens of people were watching, and Zhu Yaowu couldn't bear it, but he had to stand up.

Ji Ling raised her head, opened her mouth, and tried several times before her dry throat uttered, "Your brother will be fine."

She held the scraps of cloth tightly in her hands and looked at Director Cheng. "Director Cheng, I believe Zhu Weidong will be fine. If he is, we will always see his body. Since he is not, I think he must have encountered some problems and cannot contact us. He has delayed the bureau a lot of time in the past few days. Let us take care of him now. Director Cheng should arrange the work first."

After saying this, Ji Ling bowed to everyone again and said, "Thank you all for your help these past few days. I would like to thank you all here first."

"Xiaoling, the bureau didn't take good care of the person and lost him." Director Cheng stepped forward to help the person up. "I'll leave some people to help, and you'll be in charge of the others. I also believe that Weidong will be fine. You have to hold on. If you fall down, who will go find Weidong?"

"Director Cheng, thank you." Ji Ling forced the corners of her mouth.

Afterwards, Director Cheng arranged to leave behind a car and four people for Ji Ling and the others to use.

Ji Ling did not agree and only left behind a guide, a car, and then her and Zhu Yaowu.

"Director Cheng, our family has already arranged for someone to arrive tomorrow. Just leave one behind," Zhu Yaowu also said.

Director Cheng then agreed, and the crowd dispersed, leaving only three people and a car in the wilderness, the guide and the driver.

Zhu Yaowu took out some water from the car and said, "Sister-in-law, drink some water."

Ji Ling took it, sipped it, and looked at the vast wilderness, "Your brother will be fine."

Zhu Yaowu's heart twisted, "He might have gone in the wrong direction, nothing will happen to him."

Ji Ling held the kettle tightly and said, "Yes, he has never been able to tell the direction. Even when he is at home, I am the one driving."

"Brother must have gone far away. He was afraid that we would worry if something happened to him, so he must have left very quickly. That's why we can't find him now."

"That's what I thought."

The two of them were looking for a plausible excuse, which was also a way to comfort each other.

In the past half month, except for Mrs. Zhu and Kong Siya who were at home taking care of Niu Niu, Mr. Zhu and his son all rushed to XJ, and together with the four brothers of the Zhu family, all the family connections were used, but there was still no clue.

Ji Ling finally couldn't hold on and fell ill.

Zhu Weiming was arranged to be taken care of in the hospital, and was also asked to give Ji Ling more guidance.

Before Zhu Weiming could say anything, Ji Ling stopped him and said, "I'm fine, don't try to persuade me. Maybe I didn't get enough rest these days. I will be discharged today. Please arrange a car and we will go there this afternoon."

"Sister-in-law, if I take you there like this, Grandpa and Dad will break my legs. If you really want to go there, you have to eat. Look how thin you are."

The person who was originally handsome and gentle was now skinny and looked sick. Just looking at him made people worry, as if a gust of wind could blow him away.

Ji Ling, "I ate, so you can't blame me for being thin."

"The food you eat is like cat food. That's not eating." Zhu Weiming stood up. "I'll go get you some food. Eat more first. If you have an appetite, I'll take you away tomorrow. Anyway, you can't leave today."

Finally, he added, "You should always think about Niuniu."

Speaking of her daughter, Ji Ling fell silent.

These past few days, my daughter has been crying on the phone and asking for her mother. It was fine in the first few days, but after a long time, Niu Niu started to make a fuss and ask for her mother.

Originally, Ji Ling had been crying secretly since her husband had an accident. When she heard her daughter crying, she also started crying. The men of the Zhu family beside her were also heartbroken when they saw this.

Lying alone on the hospital bed, Ji Ling secretly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. As soon as her hands were removed from the corners of her eyes, they became wet again.

Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, Ji Ling hurriedly wiped the corners of her eyes, and then after seeing the person coming in, she was stunned.

Wang Sanmei and Ji Jianhua came in one after the other. Wang Sanmei strode to the bedside first and said, "I told you to come earlier. Your elder brother said you could hold on. Look how thin you are. You look like a nobody."

Wang Sanmei's eyes turned red as she spoke, "Xiaoling, you know how to live your life. No matter how much others persuade you, it's useless. You have to think it through yourself."

Ji Ling's eyes were red and she remained silent.

Wang Sanmei held her hand, and the two looked at each other and cried.

Ji Jianhua couldn't stand such a scene. "Xiaoling, don't worry. I believe Weidong will not get into trouble. He will definitely come back."

For the past half month, Ji Ling has been comforting herself with these words, but half a month has passed and there is still no clue. She even searched everywhere where there were people, but still found no clues.

Ji Ling really couldn't hold on any longer. She could deceive herself temporarily, but not forever.

No matter what happens, Zhu Weidong can find someone to deliver the message within half a month.

But there is none at all.

Zhu Weiming pushed the door open and came in. He was not surprised to see Ji Jianhua and his wife. "Brother Ji, did you drive here?"

"I was afraid that the car would be needed here, so I drove here." Ji Jianhua saw him carrying the lunch box and put it aside.

Wang Sanmei wiped the tears from her face.

Zhu Weiming pretended not to see it and put the lunch box on the cabinet. "Sister-in-law, you really need to take care of your health. My brother must have been framed by someone. You are still waiting to investigate this matter."
