Chapter 167: Who is that Person?
Chapter 167: Who is that Person?
How could someone have escaped? And revealed the truth?
He had kept a close eye on them and even set an example to deter others. The remaining women should have been too scared to even think of escaping.
As for the person before him, Gao Songbai, he was an insider. Or, to be more precise, he was part of the same chain of interests.
That was why, upon learning that his mother's secret had been exposed, Gao Songbai was the first to call him.
"Don't worry."
Gao Songbai patted his shoulder and spoke in a low voice, "It's unlikely that she escaped from your place. I heard that the woman was locked up in a pitch-black basement in an urban village. It seems like she was held captive by someone else."
"Then how did she get out? Did she escape secretly?"
Wan Yuliang breathed a sigh of relief.
"I heard that someone killed the two men who were holding them captive and rescued the women from the basement."
Gao Songbai explained.
"Who is that person?"
Wan Yuliang's eyes widened in shock.
"It's not clear yet."
Gao Songbai shook his head, "But I suspect that the women are connected to the murderer of your mother. They have the motive, or perhaps they hired that person to kill your mother."
"Damn them!"
Wan Yuliang's anger caused the veins on his face to bulge, and his fists clenched tightly.
"Where is that woman now?"
"I already know where she lives."
Gao Songbai smiled.
"After we find her, I'll call you. But this is just my guess."
He continued, "It's also possible that your mother was targeted by someone else, or your enemies hired someone to do it. In any case, I'll also investigate from other angles, and you should do the same."
"I understand. I'll find someone to investigate them, but that woman must not be spared!"
A ruthless look flashed in Wan Yuliang's eyes.
If they hadn't spread the news, he wouldn't have known, but now that it was out, he couldn't let her off.
If they could find the murderer through her, it would be the best outcome!
...
West Hua Garden.
Building 5.
Unit 502.
A family of four sat around the dinner table.
The middle-aged couple was heartbroken as they looked at their daughter, who had become emaciated beyond recognition.
"Xiao Hui, don't just eat vegetables. Eat more meat."
The middle-aged woman picked up a large piece of spare ribs and placed it in the young woman's bowl.
Their daughter had returned home a few days ago, and she still couldn't control her emotions. Every time she saw her daughter's condition, tears would well up in her eyes.
"Sister, eat some meat."
The boy beside her also put a piece of meat into her bowl.
"Xiao Shu is such a good boy."
Chen Hui patted Xiao Shu's head.
But soon, her smile faded, and she looked at her husband with concern, "Dad, if we don't listen to that person, what will happen?"
A few days ago, when their daughter had appeared at the door, her parents had been so overwhelmed with joy that they almost fainted.
After learning the whole story, the couple had wanted to rush to the law enforcement bureau to report the case and have the woman named Zhang Hong executed!
But she remembered the instructions of that person.
There were deep waters beneath the surface. Although they were the victims, if they reported the case, they might not only fail to achieve the desired result but also face further trouble.
However, her father was very agitated, and it took a lot of persuasion to calm him down.
Later, she brought up the idea of finding a place to hide for a while, as that person had suggested.
But her father immediately refused.
His reasoning was, "We haven't done anything shameful. We have nothing to hide, so why should we go into hiding?"
If Zhang Hong dared to come near, he would sacrifice his life to ensure they both perished together.
She thought about it and felt like she was overthinking.
On top of that, she had finally reunited with her family and regained her freedom.
Over the next few days, the news gradually spread, and many people came to visit her, bringing gifts and cursing Zhang Hong.
But for some unknown reason, her unease intensified, and she felt like something terrible was about to happen.
"Knock, knock, knock, knock."
Just then, rapid knocking sounded at the door.
"Is anyone home? We're from the East City Enforcement Bureau."
Upon hearing the words "Enforcement Bureau," Chen Hui's heart trembled.
"The Enforcement Bureau?"
The middle-aged woman's face also tensed up.
Why would the Enforcement Bureau come to their home?
The middle-aged man was stunned, and fear flashed in his eyes.
"I know someone's inside. Open the door!"
The knocking continued.
"I'll go check."
The man clenched his teeth, stood up, and walked to the front door, opening it.
Several uniformed officers stood at the door.
"Is Chen Hui staying here?" the leading officer asked with a smile.
The middle-aged man turned and glanced at Chen Hui.
Instantly, the gazes of the Enforcement Team members followed.
"Yes, she lives here. She's my daughter. Are you looking for my daughter? Is there something wrong?" the middle-aged man asked anxiously.
"Oh, you're Chen Hui's father, right? Don't be nervous."
The leading officer spoke gently, "We heard about your daughter's situation, so we came. We heard she went missing for over a year and only returned a few days ago, right?"
"Yes, yes! Officers, what's this about?" The middle-aged man became excited.
Could it be that these people before him were here to seek justice for their family?
"That's right."
The officer smiled, "We're here primarily to confirm the situation. If it's true, we hope Miss Chen Hui will come with us to the Enforcement Bureau so we can understand the details. If the case is solid, we will definitely not let the mastermind off the hook."
"Really? Is it true?"
The middle-aged man was so delighted he didn't know what to say.
To be honest, he usually had strong opinions about the Enforcement Bureau.
Like during his daughter's disappearance, he had run back and forth until his legs were about to break, but all he got was the same response: "Go back and wait for news."
Until a few days ago, when his daughter returned on her own.
But to be fair, if something like this happened, no one could help him except the Enforcement Bureau.
Not to mention, the other party was now taking the initiative to come to their door.
Chen Hui's heart also fluttered.
She was far from content with letting Zhang Hong go unpunished.
Now, it seemed like an opportunity was presenting itself.
"Miss Chen Hui, come with us. It won't take long. After we clarify the situation, you can come back." The officer smiled, "Don't worry, we'll ensure justice is served."
"Why don't we go?" The middle-aged woman was also tempted.
"Sister, let's go. We'll go together." The little boy also spoke up.
"Yes, Xiao Hui, we'll go with you. Don't be afraid. I'll definitely get justice for you!" The middle-aged man clenched his teeth.
As a father, he felt a deep sense of injustice.
If his daughter hadn't stopped him, he would have reported the case long ago.
"Okay!"
Chen Hui nodded firmly.
"Then let's go. Rest assured, we will definitely give you justice." The man outside smiled.
