Translator: 549690339 |
Yu Minglang and Zheng Xu teamed up for the first time, with Xiao Qian’s whereabouts weighing on their hearts. These two rivals joined forces.
Yu Minglang used all his connections in the legal realm to search for Xiao Qian, while Zheng Xu used his special channels.
Fortunately, before Xiao Qian entered the singing hall, she asked Xiao Yu in front of Zheng Xu which private room she was in.
This information did not exist in the past life.
In the past life, Shi Touyu left home and came here, with no one knowing where she went or who she was with.
Zheng Xu immediately found the singing hall’s boss and demanded to see the surveillance footage. Thank heavens, there was surveillance in this singing hall.
There weren’t many places with surveillance in that era, even among venues frequented by dignitaries and nobles like singing halls, which avoided it. The boss of this singing hall had a crooked idea, installing surveillance in the private rooms’ hidden areas in hopes of capturing footage of the dignitaries and nobles fooling around with young ladies for future use.
This kind of secret should never be revealed, but Zheng Xu was no ordinary person. His power was terrifying, controlling almost half of the underground world in Qiang City. The boss obediently brought up the footage.
Based on the surveillance, Yu Minglang found Xiao Xuanzi. As expected, she refused to say anything, claiming they left separately after getting in the car.
When pressed for the license plate, driver’s appearance, and characteristics, she stammered and avoided eye contact.
Yu Minglang, an experienced special forces soldier, immediately realized that the girl was not as simple as she seemed.
He decided to interrogate her overnight.
At first, Xiao Xuanzi adamantly refused to speak and claimed Yu Minglang had no right to interrogate her, which was illegal.
Yu Minglang then smashed a chair in front of her.
■’I’m not here in any official capacity, just as a family member. If you tell me, I’ll make your time inside a bit easier. If you don’t, I’ll kill you. Test me if you don’t
believe me.”
Xiao Xuanzi still refused to speak, but she was already frightened by Yu Minglang.
Seeing this, Yu Minglang had all the investigators leave, then suddenly grabbed Xiao Xuanzi’s collar with one hand and dragged her to the window.
This was the fourth floor.
“Not talking, huh? I’ll send you on your way right now! If a single hair on my girlfriend’s head is harmed, I’ll kill your entire family!” Yu Minglang grabbed Xiao Xuanzi’s hair with one hand. At first, she thought he was joking, but his crazed eyes made her realize that he might actually kill her.
“Fine, you’re tough. It’s okay if you don’t talk; I’ll kill you right now!” Yu Minglang feigned letting go, and Xiao Xuanzi felt her body falling, screaming.
“I’ll talk!”
Yu Minglang, holding her leg with one hand, easily pulled her up.
Scared, Xiao Xuanzi knelt on the ground, coughing continuously.
She had just brushed past the Death God.
“Hurry up and speak! If you dare to lie, you’re as good as dead!” At this moment, Yu Minglang was possessed by a devil.
Xiao Mei’s safety made him forget about his bottom lines.
“Is it okay to be so rough inside?”
Someone outside the interrogation room asked the captain.
The captain knew Yu Minglang’s background.
“Did you see anything? Did anyone complain to you?”
“Uh, no.” He understood.
Yu Minglang stormed out of the room, fuming.
“Did you get her to talk?”
“Yes, lookup this license plate, it’s probably fake. The driver is nicknamed Old Wu in the underworld, and his wife is called Da Mei. She doesn’t know what they do. I’ll use my network to find him. You can open a formal case; this is a serious human trafficking case involving an entire family.” Yu Minglang’s hand was still in a cast, but he didn’t care; he only wanted to save his Xiao Mei
quickly.
Just as Yu Minglang prepared to launch a long-distance pursuit, his emergency contact phone rang.
“General Manager, there’s a problem with the construction project we talked about earlier, and your big brother asked me to tell you—” His company’s department manager’s anxious voice came through the phone.
Without hesitation, Yu Minglang replied, “I don’t want to hear it.”
To hell with the business, to hell with the money, as long as he could save his woman.
Yu Minglang could no longer care about anything else; he only had one thought on his mind.
Bring his Xiao Mei back.
“General Manager, you—”
Yu Minglang hung up the phone.
The others who were with him exchanged glances.
“One, should we—”
“Enough chatter, get in the car!”
Yu Minglang was seeing red. If he couldn’t bring Xiao Mei back, his life would be over. Saving so many people, he couldn’t believe his own girlfriend was abducted. It was shameful.
The captain’s portable communication equipment rang.
“I am—”
“Put that stinky kid on the phone! Tell him if he doesn’t pick up, don’t blame me for not letting him come along!” Big Brother Yu’s angry voice came through the phone.
Yu Minglang snatched the phone.
“I’m going to save my girlfriend. Deal with me however you want!”
“Who’s stopping you from saving her?! Were you planning to take their car? Our family’s off-road vehicle can’t compare to their car? Can you have some patience and listen to what I have to say?” Eldest Brother wanted to curse.
“Big Brother, what do you mean—?”
“I had someone call you to let you know I’ll take care of your company. I’U handle any problem projects, and I’m ordering you as your Big Brother to bring your sister-in-law back safely. If you lack money or people here, we have them!” Eldest Brother’s words were resolute.
“Big Brother…” Yu Minglang didn’t expect his big brother to say this.
“We’re brothers, if I won’t help you, who will? Remember, you must bring your sister-in-law back!”
“Understood!”
He was fighting for his woman. He would definitely find Xiao Mei and bring her back safely!
Xiao Mei, wait for me!
At this moment, Xiao Qian, after going through countless winding mountain roads, finally arrived at her destination.
A remote mountain village in a mountain valley.
Time seemed to stand still here.
It still looked like the 1960s or 1970s. The broken mud wall at the entrance of the village had slogans stating boys and girls were equal. Already fading with age, the words “the girl” had been splashed with paint, indicating a preference for boys over girls.
As Xiao Qian arrived, she observed the terrain carefully.
This place was terrifying.
The mountain roads were narrow and the road conditions were poor, only allowing one car at a time.
If another car came, it might collide.
A novice driver on these perilous mountain roads might topple over.
Desolation all around.
It was extremely poor. Upon arrival, the evildoers took Xiao Qian, Xiao Yu, and another girl off the car.
Xiao Qian glanced around, noticing that the houses in this poor place were made of grass. The people were ragged and dirty. Several dirty children, their shoes revealing their toes despite the winter cold, ran up to them.
The adults, all dirty, stared curiously, some with white hair already.
These were the bachelors of the village..
