Chapter 522: Kidnapped?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“The other party only said that they want my parents to bring them to find their daughter and son-in-law, Xia Ru and the secretary,” Xia Wan explained, recounting what she had heard from the shop assistant.
“What danger could there be in letting them help us find someone?” a young policeman muttered, recording the conversation.
Officer Song immediately turned and silenced him with a stern look.
The young policeman promptly closed his mouth and remained silent.
“Any other clues?” Officer Song inquired, turning his attention back to Xia Wan.
Xia Wan shook her head before adding, “Someone mentioned earlier that the document has returned.
“I’m not certain if this is related to the document.”
Though it was just a hunch, Xia Wan was almost convinced that the secretary was behind this!
Ever since Xia Jiang and Song Yan discovered that Xia Ru had been admitted to the mental hospital, they had been too ashamed to show their faces in the village.
It must have been the secretary who found them and caused this situation!
“But they claimed they wanted to find their daughter and son -in-law. This doesn’t seem straightforward,” Xia Wan continued.
“They’ve already visited Xia Ru in the mental hospital. I checked with the hospital, but Xia Ru hasn’t been discharged.” 𝒇𝓻𝒆𝒆𝔀𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝒆𝒍.𝓬𝓸𝓶
“In other words, they came here to take my parents!”
Upon hearing this, Officer Song grasped the gravity of the situation.
“Are you suggesting they abducted your parents for some ulterior motive?” Officer Song speculated, based on Xia Wan’s account.
“They haven’t contacted me yet. I’m unsure of their intentions,” Xia Wan said, visibly tense. “I fear they might not just be after blackmail, but seeking revenge!”
“Revenge?” Officer Song furrowed his brows. “But…”
“But only the police knew about the previous incident!” he exclaimed, pausing abruptly.
Xia Wan felt a surge of frustration.
She had previously requested the police station to keep her commendation discreet. Yet, a significant ceremony was held, albeit internally at the school. It was impossible to ensure such a ceremony would remain secret.
Though the commendation was in the name of a good Samaritan, the true story might have leaked.
It was as if… Jiang Lu knew!
Xia Wan glared at Chen Mo. “Jiang Lu! Could he be involved?”
“Who is Jiang Lu?” Officer Song looked puzzled, glancing between Xia Wan and Chen Mo.
“He’s a new transfer student at our school, arriving on the day of the commendation ceremony,” Xia Wan explained. “He informed me that the document had returned.”
“What else does he know?” Officer Song’s concern grew.
After all, despite several arrests, the case remained open, with key masterminds at large.
This was known only within the upper echelons of the police force; the public was led to believe the case was closed, a strategy to lower the masterminds’ guard.
“I don’t know what he knows, but he must know the document’s whereabouts!” Xia Wan, seizing Chen Mo’s arm, exclaimed, “Yes! Let’s find Jiang Lu. He can lead us to the document!”
Xia Wan made to leave, but Chen MO held her back. “Wait!”
“We can’t assume your parents were taken due to the document. Besides, we don’t know Jiang Lu’s connection to it.”
“I suggest we wait…”
“Wait for what?” Xia Wan implored, her patience waning.
Seeing her distress, Chen MO reassured her gently, “We still don’t understand why your parents were taken.”
“I doubt it was solely for revenge. Furthermore, if it were for revenge, targeting your parents doesn’t add up…”
Xia Wan understood Chen Mo’s implication but couldn’t mask her anxiety. “I’m worried that if it involves the document, we’re running out of time…”
“We could start by investigating your uncle’s family,” Chen MO suggested, turning to Xu Ye, who stood nearby. “Take a few people to Xia Wan’s uncle’s house. We might find clues there.
“Also, have someone revisit the mental hospital to check if we missed anything.”
To Officer Song, Chen MO added, “Regarding today’s events, I hope…”
Officer Song nodded in understanding. “I’ll keep it under wraps.. Let me know as soon as you have any information, and we’ll act immediately!”
