Su Li reached out and held Xie Zhengchuan's hand and said, "Xie Zhengchuan, tell me the truth. Are you hiding something from me? I always feel that something is wrong with you these past two days. You seem to be worried. You don't let me and the child go out, so something must have happened."
Xie Zhengchuan looked a little hesitant.
Su Li looked at the changing expression on his face and continued, "Xie Zhengchuan, you won't let me and the children go out. Something must have happened. This concerns the safety of me and the children. If you don't tell me, how can I protect myself and the children? Xie Zhengchuan, I'm a mother."
Su Li looked at Xie Zhengchuan anxiously, her eyes turned red. Xie Zhengchuan knew from the look on her face that he had to tell her.
"Something happened. Recently, I was dealing with a transnational smuggling case. Originally, our small county would not have such a serious case. But the bad thing is that the ancient tomb in our Lin County was robbed, and a lot of valuables were stolen from it.
The current situation is not the same as it was before. Because of the previous digital gang, the country lost a lot of artifacts and books, and now we are trying hard to recover them. This group of tomb robbers contacted people from the United States, and we caught them when they were trading, but one of them escaped.
According to the suspect, the man who escaped was the leader of this group of tomb robbers, and his methods were extremely cruel. When he ran, I hit him in the arm. A few days ago, I often received a bloody note. There was nothing written on it, but I always felt that it was someone. I reported this to the director, and the director wanted me to take a leave for a while. "
Su Li looked at him quietly and said, "You didn't agree, did you?"
"Yes, I didn't agree. Even if I hide at home, this situation won't end well. His target is me, so only if I catch him myself can my family be safe. Xiaoli, I have to protect you and the child. I can't hide behind my colleagues."
"I understand, I understand, Zhengchuan."
Xie Zhengchuan stood up and slowly hugged Su Li.
"Xiao Li, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. My job is special. Every promotion means you and the child will bear more danger. But Xiao Li, I can't give up. I have seen people living in the ugliness and darkness of life, and I want to bring them a little sunshine in my hands, even if it's just a little. I know I'm not a saint, but someone has to do this kind of thing."
Su Li also hugged him tightly, "I understand, Zhengchuan, don't worry, I will protect myself and the child, you take care of yourself, and by the way, there are our families. Let someone send a message to my brothers tomorrow and tell them not to go out recently. I will give them a holiday in the clothing store these two days, so let them go home first."
"Well, okay, you're right, Xiaoli."
Su Li ignored his compliments, thought for a moment and then said, "Be careful. You must wear the things I prepared for you last time when you went out of town every day, and you must also carry your weapons with you, understand?"
"Okay, I understand."
The two chatted for a long time, but Su Li couldn't fall asleep. In the end, Xie Zhengchuan held her down and comforted her in a gentle voice. Finally, Su Li couldn't bear it anymore and fell asleep.
The next day, Xie Zhengchuan went to the bureau as usual, and then sent Wang Lei to inform Su Li's third and fourth brothers, who then informed the family and asked Xie Zhenghe and Xie Zhengyang in the village to be more careful.
The bureau also sent several security police officers to Shanghe Village, and there were also two people at the cannery, so Su Li and Xie Zhengchuan felt a little relieved.
For Aunt Xu's safety, Su Li also gave her a holiday and asked the Xu family members to apply for the job at the factory as usual. She had already given instructions.
Aunt Xu may have learned something from Xuzhou, so she agreed without insisting.
Su Li's family spent five days in anxiety. The children seemed to know that something was going to happen and they stayed at home obediently to help Su Li and Xie Zhengchuan take care of their younger siblings.
Since she couldn't go out, Su Li simply stayed at home and drew more drawings of clothes and furniture for the new season.
After painting for a few days, there was nothing to do, so Su Li went home to think about making something delicious.
The children had obviously gained weight from eating at home in the past few days. The interactions she had had with them had made her almost forget that she was still in danger.
The quiet and peaceful life seemed to be something Su Li had just experienced when she came. As the days passed,
That day, Su Li was cooking in the kitchen. After she finished cooking, she put the food on the dining table and called the children to start eating.
"Why are you guys the only ones here for dinner? Where's Li Dan?"
Hu Zi looked at Su Li with a guilty conscience, while Shi Tou looked at him with resentment. The two children's expressions showed that they were hiding something from her.
"Tell me quickly, where did your eldest brother go?"
Shitou was about to speak when Huzi immediately pulled him back and said, "Brother will be back soon, Mom, don't ask any more questions."
Su Li immediately thought of the escaped suspect that Xie Zhengchuan mentioned.
He looked at Hu Zi with a pale face and said, "Tell me quickly, where is Li Dan? If you don't tell me, wait until your dad comes back and let him spank you."
Hu Ziyi hadn't seen his mother so ferocious for several years, and he trembled with fear.
"Mom...Mom, I didn't mean it. It was my eldest brother's ex-mom who stuck her head out of our door and called me out, saying she missed my eldest brother. I scolded her and threw stones at her, but she wasn't angry. She knelt down in front of me and cried, saying she missed my brother so much that she couldn't sleep every day. She said just looking at my brother would be enough. I felt sorry for her, so I asked my brother to go out and talk to her. I didn't mean it, Mom."
Su Li looked at Hu Zi's frightened expression and said, "Mom is not mad at you, but at your eldest brother's mother. You two stay at home and don't go anywhere. I'm going to go out to look for your eldest brother. Mom, come and look after them. Don't go out. Stay at home and eat first. Mom will be back with your eldest brother in a while."
Hu Zi lowered his head and said nothing. Shi Tou was also a little angry with him.
Su Li reached out and touched Hu Zi's head. She didn't have time to comfort Hu Zi now. The most important thing now was to find Li Dan, and Li Dan's mother Qian Maizi.
It would be better if this woman sincerely thought about Li Dan. Otherwise, if she had any tricks, Su Li swore that he would beat her to death.
Su Li walked to the door of her house, checked everything on the left, and even went to the neighbors' houses, but no one said they had seen Li Dan.
He looked at the gate of the compound, but saw no one. Su Li's heart sank little by little, and he couldn't help but tremble all over.
Su Li hardened her heart and walked out to the street to look around. She didn't see Li Dan. Su Li felt her breathing quicken and her palms began to sweat.
Just as Su Li was looking for Li Dan all over the street, Xie Zhengchuan received another bloody note at the police station.
