The next day, Xiao Xiu went to kindergarten, Hua Li went to work, and Luo Zhaoxing had something to do and left early. Xia Suya was all alone with her granddaughter and was very happy.
When Song Lang visited, Xia Suya was watching TV with Luo Yan.
Song Lang sat down on the sofa next to Luo Yan, and Xia Suya instructed the nanny to bring two cups of tea.
Song Lang got straight to the point, “Yan Yan’s abduction is very likely related to Liu Jingqiu, but she had already run away when we came to her house yesterday. So I came to ask Yan Yan if there is any way to catch Liu Jingqiu as soon as possible.”
Xia Suya was furious when she heard that Luo Yan's abduction was related to Liu Jingqiu, but she thought it was nonsense when Song Lang said to ask Luo Yan for help.
"Yanyan is still young. What can she do if none of you have caught her?"
Luo Yan, watching TV, said, "Yes, yes, Grandma is right. You should ask your heels instead of me."
Song Lang said, "You underestimate Yan Yan because you were able to take down a human trafficking gang in one fell swoop."
Luo Yan, I beg you to underestimate me. I don't want to meddle in other people's business.
Hearing Song Lang's confident assertions, Xia Suya also wanted to test whether her granddaughter was really as capable as Song Lang claimed.
"Yanyan, Tongtong's mother is missing. Do you know how to find her?"
Why is Grandma joining in the fun? Luo Yan glanced at Xia Suya and continued watching TV intently.
Song Lang said, "Yanyan, you helped your uncle, and I will help you in the future. If anyone bullies you, just tell your uncle, and I will protect you, okay?"
You even fool children, don't you have a conscience?
Luo Yan remained deaf to her pleas.
Song Lang dropped another bombshell: "Uncle will not only protect you, but also your mother. If anything happens to you or your mother, just tell Uncle. Uncle guarantees that as long as Uncle is there, you and your mother will be there too."
The more Xia Suya listened, the more uneasy she felt about what he meant by "as long as he is here, she and her daughter will be here."
"Captain Song, I think you shouldn't waste your time here. Let's go."
Upon hearing this, Luo Yan thought it was great. With the police protecting her and her mother, what was there to be afraid of? Especially her weak and easily bullied mother, if there was a policeman standing by her side, let's see who would dare to act arrogantly towards her mother.
Luo Yan turned her head, her bright eyes fixed on Song Lang.
Song Lang swore, "I swear on the police badge above my head that I, Song Lang, will keep my word."
Luo Yan tilted her head and looked at Song Lang with a smile.
"Mommy, Mommy..."
It seemed like Song Lang was mimicking the phrase "protect mom," but Song Lang had a feeling that Luo Yan was about to make a move.
"Yes, Uncle will protect you and your mother. Will you help Uncle catch Liu Jingqiu?"
Luo Yan smiled, "Daddy, Daddy..."
It's normal for children to rely on their parents and often talk about "Mom" and "Dad," and Xia Suya didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but Song Lang's words were a wake-up call.
Yes, during the investigation, he learned that Luo Yan's father, Luo Shicheng, had taken good care of Liu Jingqiu and her mother...
Now that Liu Jingqiu has been arrested for abducting Luo Yan, if Liu Jingqiu goes to Luo Shicheng for help, Luo Shicheng, as the parent, might issue a letter of understanding and drop the case, allowing Liu Jingqiu to escape this predicament.
"Yanyan, you are so smart!"
Song Lang sincerely expressed his gratitude to Luo Yan.
Luo Yan looked at Song Lang as if he were an idiot, then turned back to watch TV.
Xia Suya asked Song Lang, "Why can't I understand what Song Lang says when they're put together?"
Why did you choose Xie Yanyan?
Song Lang, I can't tell you this.
"It's nothing, it's just that Yan Yan and I get along really well, and when I see Yan Yan, my thoughts flow like a spring."
Song Lang got up to take his leave.
Xia Suya personally saw Song Lang off at the door, and Song Lang asked Xia Suya a question before leaving.
"Excuse me, when will Comrade Luo Shicheng return?"
What do you want with the third brother? Xia Suya's face darkened.
Song Lang explained, "Please don't take it personally. I just wanted to learn from Comrade Luo Shicheng and ask him how he raised such a lovely daughter as Yan Yan."
One sentence made Xia Suya happy.
"He's gone on a mission and we don't know when he'll be back. If you want to learn the scriptures, you'll have to wait."
Even if you try to find Luo Shicheng to ask about Liu Jingqiu's whereabouts, you won't get any information. So don't waste your time and try to solve the case from another angle.
Xia Suya was not so easily fooled. In a few breaths, she figured out Song Lang's intentions, but she chose to remain silent and did not expose him.
Song Lang thanked him and then went to the military base.
When Yang Daocheng received Song Lang, he heard that Song Lang wanted to see Luo Shicheng but didn't say why. So he gave Song Lang a perfunctory reply, saying that he would notify Song Lang as soon as Luo Shicheng returned from his mission.
For several days in a row, Liu Jingqiu disappeared without a trace, and Luo Shicheng did not return. However, the sentences for Zhang Yulin, Tian Chunhua, Yan Yuan, and all the arrested gang members were handed down: all were sentenced to death and to be carried out immediately.
Xia Suya and Luo Zhaoxing had been waiting for this day. They asked Hua Li to take leave to stay home and take care of Luo Yan. The two of them disguised themselves slightly and went out to wait.
The procession slowly drove up to the execution ground. Xia Suya held Luo Zhaoxing's hand tightly. When she saw Tian Chunhua and Zhang Yulin trembling on the Liberation truck, she clapped desperately with tears in her eyes.
The onlookers, who also deeply hated the human traffickers, joined in the applause.
Song Lang, dressed in plain clothes, blended into the crowd of onlookers and moved slowly with the convoy.
Suddenly, Song Lang's gaze was drawn to a tall figure dressed in casual clothes.
Luo Shicheng!
It seems he's back from a mission. Song Lang narrowed his eyes as he stared at Luo Shicheng.
Noticing Song Lang's gaze, Luo Shicheng's hawk-like eyes met Song Lang's gaze, and he threw two pebbles with both hands.
The pebble flew through the air and hit Zhang Yulin and Tian Chunhua on the head, causing them to bleed profusely.
The armed police officers in charge of escorting the prisoners tried to stop them, but other civilians followed suit and started picking up stones from the ground to throw at the perpetrators.
Song Lang tried to push through the crowd to get closer to Luo Shicheng, but saw a petite figure heading straight for him.
Although the woman had her head wrapped in a veil, Song Lang recognized her at a glance as Liu Jingqiu and quickly gestured to his team members.
Luo Shicheng also discovered Liu Jingqiu...
Noticing that Song Lang and his group had a clear objective in blocking the area, and in order to avoid causing a riot and injuring innocent civilians, Luo Shicheng took the initiative to walk towards the outer edge of the crowd.
Liu Jingqiu followed Luo Shicheng out, and Song Lang and the others immediately followed.
Luo Shicheng stopped walking on the street, away from the crowds.
With the crowd no longer obstructing her, Liu Jingqiu quickly ran to Luo Shicheng's side.
Before Song Lang could get close, he first showed Luo Shicheng his work ID.
"Comrade Luo Shicheng, this is Song Lang from the Municipal Bureau. Regarding the case of your daughter Luo Yan's abduction, we need to bring Liu Jingqiu back to the bureau for investigation. Please cooperate."
Luo Shicheng frowned. "Do you have any evidence?"
Song Lang said, "Qu Yingqiu, who was involved in the trafficking, has confessed that she was instructed by Liu Jingqiu."
Luo Shicheng scoffed, "Qu Yingqiu said she was acting under Liu Jingqiu's orders, so you believe everything a person of questionable character says? Your evidence gathering is utterly childish."
