Qian Shulan wandered there for a long time, and had no idea where Zhengguo would run to.
She thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to the police station and report it."
Jiang Yuying also agreed, and then went to the police station to report the case without stopping.
Hearing that a child was missing late at night, the police officer was obviously very worried and muttered, "How come another one is missing?"
Qian Shulan and Jiang Yuying looked at each other, both of them panicking. "What do you mean? Have you lost it before?"
The policeman regretted his words after he said them casually. After hearing their questions, he struggled for a while before saying, "A child is lost almost every month in our area."
Qian Shulan asked quickly, "Have you found them all?"
The police officer shook his head. “It’s not that easy.”
Then he took out a notebook and asked them to register, which contained the missing person's name, address, age, gender, and appearance characteristics.
After Qian Shulan finished writing, she began to ask, "Did those children suffer any misfortune?"
Seeing the panic on the old lady's face, the police knew that she was thinking of something bad, and quickly waved his hands, "No, no! She is missing and can't be found anymore."
Qian Shulan frowned. The absence of a body didn't mean that nothing had happened to the person. Maybe he had been abducted to a mine to dig coal. A thirteen-year-old boy was already a laborer. If he was older, the traffickers might not be able to abduct him.
"You two wait here for a moment. I'll request police assistance to block all the checkpoints in the county and try not to let anyone out."
Qian Shulan quickly said yes.
Jiang Yuying's eyes instantly turned red, and she couldn't help but started to cry, "Godmother, it's all my fault. If I hadn't taken a shower, Zhengguo wouldn't have been kidnapped."
The front door of the Jiang family was made of wood, and Jiang Yuying could not hear any noise outside while taking a shower in her room.
But Jiang Yuying remembered that she had clearly locked the door from behind, so how did the human traffickers kidnap Zhengguo
Qian Shulan's heart sank after hearing what Jiang Yuying said. If the human traffickers couldn't get into the Jiang family, then it could only be that Zhengguo opened the door himself. "Could it be that Zhengguo followed me, and then the human traffickers saw that he was alone and snatched him away directly?"
The more Jiang Yuying thought about it, the more she felt that this guess was more likely.
She patted her godmother's hand and said, "Godmother, this child is too troublesome. You must discipline him when you come back. Why is he so disobedient?"
Qian Shulan thought the same thing. She had always treated Zhengguo as a little adult, but who knew he would be so bold.
She was really stupid. She should have looked back more often when she walked. Maybe she would have discovered Zhengguo. She covered her face and blamed herself.
The police were dispatched, and Qian Shulan didn't want to just sit there and wait for death. "I'll go find Xiaowu and Laosi and ask them to help look for him. There's strength in numbers."
Jiang Yuying also agreed that just waiting here was not a solution.
So the two of them split up. Qian Shulan went to find Xiaowu, and Jiang Yuying went to find Guo Zhengliang.
Guo Zhengliang has met Zhengguo before, so he should be able to help.
"Let's meet at the county department store in an hour."
The Water Conservancy Bureau is not far from the police station, only about ten minutes' walk away.
When she arrived at the door, she woke up Wang Shouzhi who was still sleeping.
"Mom, why are you here?" His mother actually came to the Water Conservancy Bureau to look for him in the middle of the night. "What happened?"
Qian Shulan ran here. She couldn't calm down when she thought that Zhengguo might suffer.
"Something happened to Zhengguo, hurry up and come with me!" She glanced at Xiaodie in the room and saw that she had woken up, so she hurriedly said, "Hurry up and send Xiaodie to Grandma Fan and ask her to help take care of her."
When Wang Shouzhi heard the seriousness of the matter, he immediately dressed Xiaodie and carried her out.
"Mom, you go north along this road first. I'll ride my bike to take Xiaodie there first."
Qian Shulan didn't bother to be polite and waved goodbye to let him go.
Less than ten minutes later, Wang Shouzhi finally rode over on his bicycle in a hurry, "Mom, where are we going? The hospital?"
Seeing that he had misunderstood, Qian Shulan hurriedly said, "He is not injured, he is lost, and it is very likely that he was abducted by human traffickers."
Wang Shouzhi's face turned pale, "What should I do?"
"You go find Wang Danna and Xiaomei first. I'll go inform Lao Si. We'll meet at the county department store later. Yuying and Shouliang are waiting there too."
"good!"
The two split into two groups.
Half an hour later, everyone arrived at the department store.
Wang Danna, Xiaomei, Wang Shouzhi, Wang Shouli, Qian Shulan, Jiang Yuying, Guo Zhengliang and Guo Mingde.
Guo Mingde came to help when he heard Jiang Yuying say that her godmother's grandson was lost. However, he didn't know Zhengguo, so he could only confirm the child's physical characteristics with Jiang Yuying several times.
Jiang Yuying is most familiar with the roads in the county town. "There are thirteen roads into the city. There are eight of us in total. Let's each be responsible for one road. The remaining five roads will be handed over to the police. We must keep a close eye on them."
Everyone said it was a good idea.
When Qian Shulan reached the road in the south of the city, she suddenly remembered whether she could ask the system for help.
It was still dark at this moment, and apart from a few policemen with guns guarding the intersection, there was no one else.
Qian Shulan used the excuse of going to the bathroom and found a deserted place where she began to hide in the space.
"System, are you there?"
"exist"
"My grandson is missing, can you help me find him?"
“This system does not provide tracking services.”
Hearing this, Qian Shulan lost even the last glimmer of hope. She started to type No. 153 again, but found that her head was black. It was late at night, and who wouldn't sleep
Qian Shulan had to find it herself.
It was not until dawn that she heard someone knocking at her in the system mall.
She quickly made another excuse to go to the bathroom. This time, No. 153 was online. It seemed that the other party had seen her message.
No. 153: "Can't your spiritual power track people? Why are you asking me?"
Qian Shulan wanted to cry but had no tears. She had so little spiritual power now, and there was almost no spiritual power left in the crystal ball. How could she use it to track people
"I will channel my spiritual power into the crystal ball and lend it to you for use."
Qian Shulan was very grateful, "When I find my grandson, I will definitely help you collect more spiritual power."
"good!"
Soon she got the crystal ball sent by No. 153.
Unlike hers, the crystal ball No. 153 is purple, a very deep purple, and the whole crystal ball looks like a purple SpongeBob SquarePants. The stars are the size of peanuts, filling the entire crystal ball.
Qian Shulan tried it and found that the crystal ball had great spiritual power.
But if she wanted to track someone, she had to have something of that person in her hand, so that she could use it as a medium to find him.
So Qian Shulan had no choice but to run back to Jiang's house. After searching for a while, she finally remembered the notebook.
Qian Shulan returned to her room and lifted the pillow, and saw the notebook lying there peacefully.
So she began to use her spiritual power to follow the aura of the person in the notebook to find the direction where Zhengguo was currently.
It was actually in the east.
How did it get there? Isn't there a river over there? It leads directly to the sea.
Huh? Sea
Those children haven't come back yet. Could they have gone out to sea
Qian Shulan didn't care about anything and ran eastward desperately.
I ran all the way to the river and found that there was actually a boat sailing not far away.
The direction the spiritual power was pointing to was that boat. So Jungkook must be on the boat.
Qian Shulan looked around several times, but didn't see any other boats. So how could she stop the boat from leaving
Qian Shulan estimated the distance, about five or six miles, she tore off a piece of paper from her notebook and folded it into a paper boat. Then she put the ring on her hand into the paper boat, and in order to prevent the ring from falling off, she also used her spiritual power to seal the two together.
She hid in the space and used her spiritual power to guide the paper boat forward.
Because of her strong spiritual power, she reached her destination in less than ten minutes. She flashed out of the space and put the ring back on her finger.
Then climb into the boat.
Although this boat has a cabin, it is not very big and can barely seat five people.
Fortunately, there were only two people on the boat, one was a man in his thirties, and the other was Zheng Guo. At this time, he was lying on the boat with his eyes closed, his body tied up, his mouth tied with a rag, and his whole body wet.
They sat in the middle of the boat. Qian Shulan made some noise when she climbed onto the boat, and the man turned around and saw her.
Qian Shulan stood at the stern, holding a kitchen knife in her hand, which was the only thing she could use as a weapon from the space, "Hurry up and release my grandson."
The man was a little stunned. He didn't expect that the other person was actually an old lady.
He looked around, but there was nothing there. How did she get here? Did she swim
He might not be able to swim this far. How could she be so good at swimming
He looked at Qian Shulan warily until she slashed at him with a knife, then he dodged hastily.
This man was very skilled, so skilled that even Qian Shulan, with her great strength and the knife in her hand, was unable to do anything to him.
She wondered whether she should use the space to take him in.
When the man kicked at her, Qian Shulan used her spiritual power to attack his other foot. The man slipped and fell into the river. He struggled a few times and then steadied himself in the water.
Qian Shulan stood at the stern of the boat, afraid that he would come up again, so she quickly rowed.
Although it was immoral to stand by and watch someone in danger, she would never do such a stupid thing as saving a human trafficker who could kill her at any time.
Qian Shulan waited until the boat had moved several dozen meters away before she let go of the oars and untied the rope for Zhengguo.
She patted Jungkook's face, anxiously, "Jungkook? Jungkook?"
Zhengguo closed his eyes tightly and didn't move at all. Qian Shulan touched his forehead and found it was frighteningly hot.
Qian Shulan quickly laid Zhengguo flat and continued rowing.
After a while, the boat docked and Qian Shulan directly put the boat into her own space.
Then she ran to the hospital holding Zhengguo.
There is only one hospital in Liuguan County, which is located in the central area and a bit far from here.
Fortunately, I met a kind person on the way who helped send me to the hospital.
Qian Shulan asked the doctor to examine Zhengguo and she ran to the accounting office to pay the money.
"He's fine! He must have been knocked unconscious. He'll wake up on his own once the drug wears off. He just has a slight fever. To prevent him from developing pneumonia, I suggest he stay in the hospital for two days for observation."
Qian Shulan nodded quickly, "Then go to the hospital."
Then I went to do the admission procedures.
Thinking that Zhengguo had not eaten yet, Qian Shulan went to the Hongqi Hotel to cook porridge and asked Du Dahai to help notify Jiang Yuying.
When Qian Shulan brought the porridge to the hospital, Zhengguo woke up.
Zhengguo felt that he had done something wrong and kept his head down, not daring to look at Qian Shulan.
"Why are you running out so late at night instead of staying at home?" Qian Shulan asked with a stern face.
Jungkook twisted his fingers together, saying nothing.
Seeing how listless and energetic he was, Qian Shulan couldn't bring herself to scold him.
Qian Shulan sighed, poured him a bowl of porridge and handed it to him, "Eat quickly."
Hearing that his grandmother didn't scold him anymore, Zhengguo breathed a sigh of relief and finished all the porridge in no time.
"Are you trying to follow me?"
Jungkook stiffened and nodded.
Qian Shulan was a little curious. She remembered that she didn't notice anyone following her. Although Zhengguo was quite smart, he was not a professional after all. She shouldn't have failed to notice him. "How could you be kidnapped while following me?"
Zhengguo said with a bitter face, "I went out when my aunt was taking a shower, but I found that my grandma was gone. Not long after I walked out of the alley to the left, she was kidnapped."
"You see there are still bad guys, right? Don't do this again. You are still a child, and you don't have much strength. What will you do if you are taken away by someone?"
Jungkook lowered his head with a docile look on his face.
"Why are you following me?" Qian Shulan finally remembered to ask this.
Zhengguo pursed his lips and said after a long while, "I want to be a scalper."
Qian Shulan's eyes suddenly shrank, and she opened her mouth in surprise. She subconsciously glanced around.
Fortunately, there was only Zhengguo in this ward. She walked towards Zhengguo and whispered, "Why are you doing this at such a young age?"
“I want to save money.”
Qian Shulan was somewhat speechless, "You are so young, are you obsessed with money?" Thinking that she seemed to be the same, she felt a little embarrassed. Could this be a blood relationship? She was extremely embarrassed.
After thinking for a while, he said, "When you graduate from technical secondary school, you will have a job. By then, you will make at least 30 or 40 yuan a month. If you get caught now, your life will be ruined."
After she said that, Jungkook was obviously a little scared, his voice was trembling, "Really?"
"yes."
"Grandma, then please don't do it anymore?" Zhengguo pulled Qian Shulan's sleeve and pleaded in a low voice.
Qian Shulan looked at him and said, "I didn't do that. I was just buying food. It's not a problem."
"But I heard you talk to that uncle about introducing someone?" Because they were far away, Zhengguo of course only understood half of what was said.
Qian Shulan touched his hair and said, "No! Grandma knows a friend, and that person asked me to help introduce him. Grandma is not a scalper."
Zheng Guoxiao breathed a sigh of relief, and Qian Shulan felt very warmed by the look on her face, as she thought the child was worried about her.
"Don't let your imagination run wild in the future. Study hard and try to get a good job after graduation. Then grandma can enjoy a good life with you."
Zhengguo's eyes lit up and he responded crisply, "Okay."
Because of the fever and not being in good spirits, Jungkook soon fell into a deep sleep again.
Qian Shulan was also very sleepy. She opened her own bowl of porridge, ate it, and then fell asleep on the bed.
Others also rushed to the hospital. Seeing that the two were sleeping, they didn't have the heart to disturb them.
Half an hour later, Qian Shulan woke up by herself.
I noticed someone was looking here through the door and windows with his head tilted, so I hurried out.
"You guys are here?" Seeing that everyone was here, Qian Shulan smiled and told the story of how she found Zhengguo, but she changed the plot a little.
The part about spiritual power and the fight at sea was omitted, and even the ship was not mentioned.
Everyone else was thankful for Zhengguo's good fortune. If he had gone out to sea, Zhengguo might never have been found again in this lifetime.
The police also rushed over, recorded Qian Shulan's statement, and asked her to help draw a portrait.
The police went out again to look for someone.
Qian Shulan said to everyone, "Xiao Wu, take everyone to eat quickly. I will stay here and take care of everything."
Jiang Yuying shook her head, "No need, we already ate at the intersection."
Others also said no.
"Okay, as long as you're full, the factory has been very busy lately, so you should go back to work. I'm really sorry to bother you with this."
Jiang Yuying wanted to stay and help, but Qian Shulan waved her hand, "No, no! You still have to go to work."
Qian Shulan specifically kept Wang Shouli and gave him the household registration booklet and property license in her bag. "This is the house that mother bought. It will be registered in your and the third child's names for the time being. You can transfer your household registration first. It will be easier to apply to the unit to transfer to a formal union later."
Wang Shouli was startled, and glanced at Wang Danna and Xiaomei who were left at the end. When he found that they hadn't seen him, he whispered, "Mom, where did you get the money?"
Qian Shulan said casually, "Mom borrowed it from your uncle. You have to work harder and get a permanent job soon."
Wang Shouli felt warm in his heart and nodded heavily.
