"Just recently," Yang Jiayue said. "Last night she told me her family was going to the zoo next door on 278th Street. This morning before she left, I told her to take more pictures and send them to me. But I haven't heard from her yet. I just asked her if she'd been to the zoo, but she hasn't replied or answered my calls."
But if he just didn't reply to messages or answer calls, it might just be because Wang Qin was having too much fun and didn't notice.
Xie Xuan asked, "Is it possible that she just didn't hear it? Why are you so sure she's lost contact?"
“Because there has never been a situation like this before.”
Yang Jiayue paused. "Wang Qin... has applied for a community protection plan. If Wang Qin herself cannot be contacted within a period of time, community staff will contact her family to confirm her condition."
This was another thing Xie Xuan had never heard of. "What does the protection plan mean?"
"That is... volunteers in the community will help some vulnerable groups..." Yang Jiayue seemed unsure how to express it clearly.
"To put it simply, it is a project to provide assistance to people in the community who are suffering from domestic violence and other bullying behaviors but cannot or dare not leave the abusers for various reasons." Xie Yuheng suddenly said.
Xie Xuan turned her head, and Xie Yuheng's gaze passed behind her and fell on his terminal.
"Who is he?" Yang Jiayue asked Xie Xuan quietly, "Is he your boyfriend?"
Xie Xuan almost choked on her own saliva. "No, no, he's a relative of mine. He happened to be here, so he came to my house and stayed."
Yang Jiayue nodded. "Oh, that's pretty much what he said. Wang Qin is like that. She married here from 303 Street. Because she has many children, her family doesn't care much about her. Her mother-in-law has always had a problem with her, especially after she gave birth to two daughters. Her husband also started to beat her."
Yang Jiayue seemed to be thinking of something bad, her brow furrowed. "Actually, it happened over the past six months. It all started with him slapping Wang Qin during an argument. Wang Qin called the police, but the security team came and tried to mediate. Wang Qin's husband saw that the matter had gone unresolved, and when Wang Qin's family found out, they didn't even say a word and started to escalate their situation."
Xie Xuan pursed her lips. Both Wang Qin and Li Yajun, the victim in the previous field, seemed to have received the anonymous express delivery after being bullied and seeking help from the outside world to no avail.
Xie Xuan could almost imagine what the person who sent this express delivery was thinking. He probably thought that he was a hero of the dark night, providing the only chance for revenge and relief for those struggling in difficult situations.
Arrogant and conceited, as if he thinks of himself as a god.
Yang Jiayue had already told the story in a few words. "In fact, this protection plan is only a temporary solution, not a fundamental solution. Wang Qin can't bear to leave her two daughters, but if she divorces, she can't support her daughters on her own salary. Her family doesn't care about her, and her mother-in-law also said that if she divorces, she won't get a penny of her money. Wang Qin has no better choice but to endure it."
But Xie Xuan didn't want to care about so many things now. She just hoped that Wang Qin had not followed the same path as Li Yajun.
"So you said Wang Qin was missing because the community staff couldn't contact her family?"
"Yes." Yang Jiayue nodded, looking a little confused. "Do you think Wang Qin really did what the letter said and tampered with her husband's car..."
Xie Xuan hoped otherwise. "Can the protection plan pinpoint Wang Qin's final location?"
Yang Jiayue shook her head. "Wang Qin didn't give me permission. Now no one knows where Wang Qin is."
Xie Xuan suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Xie Yuheng.
"Xie Yuheng, can you...?"
Before Xie Xuan could finish her words, Xie Yuheng interrupted her. "No. Although Noah Technology provides some technical support for the terminals, the District Six Information Security Department has the authority to oversee the terminals of all District Six citizens. It is illegal to retrieve user information without the terminal user's authorization."
Xie Xuan was almost intimidated by Xie Yuheng, but if Xie Yuheng was really so law-abiding, how could Xie Yuheng know all her information?
Thinking of this, Xie Xuan suddenly thought that since Xie Yuheng knew her better than she did, Xie Yuheng should know everything about the original owner's previous experiences.
Maybe she could find an opportunity to ask Xie Yuheng about it later.
Xie Xuan's thoughts wandered briefly before returning to Wang Qin's matter. "Then can we call the police to get Wang Qin's location?"
Yang Jiayue shook her head in embarrassment. "We won't file a case if an adult goes missing within 24 hours. The protection program isn't officially organized, so we can't let the guards file a case directly."
In this case, it seems that there is only one last method left, which is to try your luck at the zoo on 278 Street as Wang Qin herself said.
After Xie Xuan said this, Yang Jiayue immediately said, "I'll go too."
Xie Xuan shook her head. "I'll go alone. If Wang Qin really does what the letter says, you'll be in danger if you follow me."
Yang Jiayue said hesitantly, "Then you will be in danger too. Why don't we call the police?"
"I can't. I'm a mutant."
Yang Jiayue was stunned for a moment, "Are you a mutant?"
Xie Xuan nodded. "I work in the Reception Department of the Ecological Bureau. Don't worry about me."
Yang Jiayue was so surprised that she repeated Xie Xuan's words like a mynah bird, "You work in the containment department?"
"What's wrong?" Xie Xuan asked curiously.
Yang Jiayue shook her head, her cheeks flushed. "I just didn't expect that people working in the Internment Department would live here. I heard that the minimum monthly salary in the Internment Department is 40,000. I thought they would live in a better place."
Xie Xuan was also stunned for a moment. She had lived here for more than a month and had already gotten used to it. She had not yet considered moving to a new house.
Seeing Xie Xuan was silent, Yang Jiayue quickly waved her hand and said, "I was just kidding. Then you can go alone. I won't make things more complicated. Just be careful."
Xie Xuan nodded, "Okay, I'll be off then."
Yang Jiayue sent Xie Xuan to the elevator, watched the elevator door close, and the numbers on it began to go down, then turned around and went back to the door of Room 908.
But before she could knock, the door opened by itself.
Xie Yuheng stood at the door with a cold expression.
"Mr. Xie, why did you come here suddenly?" Yang Jiayue looked a little uneasy.
Xie Yuheng snorted lightly, "Your performance just now was too exaggerated."
"S-Sorry, I was a little nervous seeing you so suddenly." Yang Jiayue was so nervous that she stuttered a little. "Did something happen?"
