Reborn as a Tough Army Wife-Chapter 832 - 827: Too Selfish

Luo Zhiming chased for a while, and after retrieving the bag, he realized that Haohao was missing. It was then that he understood he had fallen for a diversion tactic; their real aim was not the worthless bag, but Haohao.

Immediately, Luo Zhiming was in a panic, shouting and searching everywhere, asking anyone he could find if they had seen his son, nearly on the brink of a breakdown.

At the time, he thought that Haohao had been abducted by human traffickers.

It's important to know, during these times, there are many human traffickers, and once a child is taken, it's very difficult to recover them. If Haohao had been taken away just like that, he...

Luo Zhiming couldn't bear to think any further, he really felt like dying. At that moment, he was filled with endless regret. Why did he have to bring Haohao to see Zhou Yunmei, knowing full well that nothing good ever happens whenever Haohao meets Zhou Yunmei.

Thinking of Zhou Yunmei, Luo Zhiming realized that she had been in the restroom for an unusually long time, at least half an hour. Could something have happened to her as well?

However, he had heard of children being abducted, but not someone of Zhou Yunmei's age being taken.

At this point, to be honest, given Luo Zhiming's temperament, he didn't dare to immediately tell Fang Xiu and others that he had lost Haohao. He didn't know how to open his mouth, nor did he dare to call the police right away. For the moment, he thought to find Zhou Yunmei first to discuss it and ask her for advice.

While Luo Zhiming was searching for Zhou Yunmei, Zhou Yunmei and Liu Fengsheng had already reached an agreement. Unable to deal with Zhou Yunmei's persistence, Liu Fengsheng simply gave her two thousand yuan to send her away but demanded that she not reveal this to anyone.

For Zhou Yunmei, although this amount was slightly less than what was initially discussed, she thought it was enough that she got her money back, plus an extra US$ 500, and fearing any further issues, she agreed with Liu Fengsheng and took the money to head back to her hometown.

When Luo Zhiming saw Zhou Yunmei, he hurried over, angrily shouting at her, "Mom, where did you go? It took you so long in the restroom."

Zhou Yunmei had already prepared her excuse, speaking as if it were the truth, "There were many people in the bathroom, I waited for a long time. What's the rush?"

Luo Zhiming urgently said, "Why the rush? Haohao is missing."

"What, what do you mean Haohao is missing?" Zhou Yunmei didn't react immediately, not expecting something like this to happen.

Luo Zhiming was somewhat reluctant to face reality and tell the truth, but he had no choice. He took a breath, nearly gritting his teeth as he said, "Haohao might have been abducted by human traffickers, just now..."

Afterward, Luo Zhiming explained the situation to Zhou Yunmei.

Zhou Yunmei, being more thoughtful and aware of more things, immediately suspected Xu He upon hearing this from Luo Zhiming.

Moreover, although Liu Fengsheng had pulled her aside to talk earlier, she vaguely saw a few people leaving from the place she and Xu He had spoken earlier. Although she hadn't thought much of it initially, thinking back, it seemed suspicious.

Thus, after calming down, she asked Luo Zhiming in detail, "Did you see clearly where the person who took your bag came from, or what they looked like?"

Luo Zhiming thought for a bit, the people didn't have any obvious features, so he described the clothes they wore, "Just a few ordinary men, built like oxen, dressed like people working on construction sites."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yunmei thought those people might be the ones she had seen earlier. She then immediately asked, "How many were there?"

"I don't know, at least two or three," Luo Zhiming didn't understand why Zhou Yunmei was pressing for details. His mind was overwhelmed with fear and unable to think, but he retained some rationality, asking Zhou Yunmei, "Mom, what do we do now? Should I report to the police first or notify Fang Xiu's side for help?"

Hearing that, the first thought in Zhou Yunmei's mind was that this matter absolutely couldn't be disclosed like this, otherwise, her dealings with Xu He would be exposed. Besides, if it were reported to the police, she might have to take responsibility. She almost immediately stopped Luo Zhiming, "No, no, don't do anything yet. Let's inquire around here first. They can't have gone far since they just left, and we might still find Haohao."

Afraid that Luo Zhiming would doubt, Zhou Yunmei quickly explained, "I mean if you tell Fang Xiu them you lost the child so quickly, think about it, would Fang Xiu still let you take the child out in the future? You might never see Haohao again."

"I..." Luo Zhiming hesitated, but inwardly agreed with Zhou Yunmei's idea.

Seeing that he wasn't speaking, Zhou Yunmei patted his arm, comforting him, "Listen to mom, let's search for a while first, maybe we'll find him soon. If we really can't find him, then it's not too late to notify Fang Xiu and your sister-in-law's side."

Luo Zhiming thought that was reasonable, so he agreed, "Alright, let's split up and search."

Zhou Yunmei nodded, watching Luo Zhiming hurriedly leave to search for the child elsewhere. She rolled her eyes and thought of finding Xu He.

Although she was not sure if Xu He took Haohao away, according to Luo Zhiming's description, she was certain the men came from Xu He's place; they might be Xu He's people. As long as she found Xu He, she would find Haohao.

For Zhou Yunmei, she still thought things were simple for the time being. She believed Xu He merely took the child because she was upset about giving her this money, so she took the child in a fit of anger.

Anyway, she felt that as long as she confirmed the child was with Xu He and not taken by traffickers, things would be much easier.

Thus, confirming Luo Zhiming went that way, she hurried to where she spoke with Xu He earlier, planning to get Haohao back. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

But when she reached there, she didn't see Haohao, nor did she see the men from before, not even Liu Fengsheng. She started to feel frightened, afraid Xu He had just taken Haohao away.

Fortunately, after circling the area, she found Xu He in a not-so-obvious place.

However, it shouldn't be said that she finally found Xu He; rather, Xu He was deliberately staying there waiting for Zhou Yunmei, because her purpose for taking Haohao was to meet Fang Pingying. She needed someone to help deliver the message to Fang Pingying.

When Zhou Yunmei saw Xu He, she was furious. She immediately ran over, pointed at Xu He, and shouted loudly, "Xu He, you bitch, what are you doing taking my grandson?"
