Luo Yan hugged Xiao Xiu with heartache.
The milky scent of the small embrace was incredibly comforting, and Xiao Xiu felt completely revitalized.
"Xiao Xiu, can you tell Grandpa why you went to the abandoned warehouse?"
Xiao Xiu nodded and told the truth.
Cheng Yichen had been trying to torment Xiao Xiu since he was a child. Xiao Xiu sought help from his parents countless times, but each time his parents would only blame him, saying that he was framing Cheng Yichen and that they did not believe that Cheng Yichen would harm Xiao Xiu.
Cheng Yichen's most common method was to punish Xiao Xiu by not letting him eat. Xiao Xiu often went hungry at first, but later he discovered that there were many elderly women and women who had accompanied the army in the compound who were very lonely. As long as he went to keep them company for a while, or even just played around with them, he could get some food in return.
Sometimes, when they received a lot of food, they couldn't finish it all in one go. Afraid that Cheng Yichen would snatch it away if they took it home, they would hide it in an abandoned warehouse near the compound.
Chen Yuanshan gritted his teeth as he listened, "What's your father's name?"
During the days when Xiao Xiu ran away from home, Chen Yuanshan was only focused on searching for Xiao Xiu and didn't ask about Xiao Xiu's family situation in detail. Now that he heard about Xiao Xiu's tragic experience, he wished he could beat up those bastard parents right now.
Xiao Xiu could tell that Chen Yuanshan was really angry, but he didn't want his father to do anything wrong for those two people who didn't love him, so Xiao Xiu refused to say anything.
Sun Bailing ignored Chen Yuanshan, who was so angry he was spinning in circles, and continued to ask Xiaoxiu.
Do you know why your parents adopted Cheng Yichen?
Every time his parents scolded him, they would say, "If we had known that after all these years of praying, we would have given birth to such a heartless wretch, we should have never had him."
So Xiaoxiu really knows why.
“They never had a baby before, and I was born after they adopted Cheng Yichen.”
Many families who adopted children and then had their own biological children end up giving the adopted children away, and some even abuse them. This is the first time they've heard of an adopted child abusing their own.
Chen Yuanshan gritted his teeth, "This family is really quite unique."
Since Cheng Yichen is Xu Tai's biological son and has had contact with Xu Tai, Cheng Yichen must know something. Sun Bailing immediately sent someone to the capital to question Cheng Yichen.
Chen Yuanshan was detained by Sun Bailing.
"Are you going to question him, or to stand up for Xiao Xiu?"
"Both."
Sun Bailing slammed his fist on the table, “You can’t separate public and private matters, you’re not allowed to go.”
Just as Chen Yuanshan was about to retort, the telephone on his desk rang loudly.
Sun Bailing gestured for Chen Yuanshan to shut up and answered the phone.
"Old Sun, I am Xia Suya..."
"Sister-in-law?" Sun Bailing was surprised that Xia Suya suddenly called him.
Xia Suya said, "I called to tell you that I found out that Xiao Xiu's abduction was indeed related to Cheng Yichen, but now Cheng Yichen is missing, and Cheng Yi and his wife suspect that Cheng Yichen's disappearance is related to Xiao Xiu and have gone to Jiangcheng..."
Sun Bailing was shocked by the thought process of Cheng Yi and his wife.
"Xiao Xiu is just a child, and he's not even in Beijing. How did they determine that Cheng Yichen's disappearance was related to Xiao Xiu?"
Xia Suya had never encountered such a strange person before, and she sighed.
"Cheng Yi and his wife said that Cheng Yichen had told them before he disappeared that someone claiming to be from Jiangcheng was looking for him, and Cheng Yichen disappeared the next day."
"Everyone from Jiangcheng is connected to Xiaoxiu? What's wrong with those two?"
Not only Sun Bailing couldn't understand it, but Xia Suya couldn't understand it either.
"That's why I called you. Make sure Luo Shicheng protects Xiaoxiu well. Also, why is no one answering my home phone?"
Sun Bailing waved his hand and called to Luo Yan, "Yan Yan, come here quickly, Grandma is on the phone."
Luo Yan obediently ran over and took the receiver from Sun Bailing's hand.
"grandmother……"
Xia Suya responded with a soft, trembling voice.
"Oh dear, my darling Yan Yan, why didn't you go to kindergarten? Also, why didn't anyone answer the phone these past two days?"
Unable to answer, Luo Yan handed the receiver back to Sun Bailing.
Sun Bailing briefly explained the situation, and Xia Suya listened with a pounding heart.
"By the way, sister-in-law, how did you find out that Xiaoxiu's abduction was related to Cheng Yichen?"
Sun Bailing is not in a position to reveal the relationship between Xu Tai and Cheng Yichen at the moment, so he can only hint at it indirectly.
Xia Suya said, "I started investigating after I returned from Jiangcheng, but it took a long time, and Cheng Yichen did a good job of concealing the truth, so the investigation was very difficult."
Fortunately, Xiao Xiu was well-liked in the compound. During my visit, I met an elderly man who witnessed the whole process of Cheng Yichen and a man knocking Xiao Xiu unconscious and kidnapping her. However, the elderly man was a bit senile, and no one believed what he said.
I also went to the abandoned warehouse the old man mentioned, and happened to run into Cheng Yichen. When I questioned him, Cheng Yichen's answers were incoherent and full of inconsistencies. Then, within two days, Cheng Yichen disappeared. I suspect he ran away because he was afraid of being exposed.”
This matches exactly what Xiao Xiu said. If nothing unexpected happens, the man the old man saw was Xu Tai.
Sun Bailing said, "I suspect that Cheng Yichen didn't escape but was kidnapped."
Xu Tai's arrest suggests that his superiors may have received the news and are very likely to kidnap Xu Tai's own son to silence him.
“Sister-in-law…” Sun Bailing said, “I ask you not to ask the reason yet, but to contact the police as a kidnapping case and try to find Cheng Yichen as soon as possible.”
Without saying a word, Xia Suya hung up the phone and went to do it.
Inside the supply and marketing cooperative, it was almost time to leave work when Fang Aihua spoke with Hua Li.
"Hua Li, I hope you can resign voluntarily..."
Fang Aihua placed this month's attendance sheet on her desk and pushed it in front of Hua Li.
"Can you even count how many days of leave you've taken this month?"
