"How is that possible?" Cheng Bin waved his hands and said with an apologetic smile, "We have been neighbors for so many years, we should have some trust in each other. I will definitely return the money to you, but it will take some time. You know the situation at my home, there is a pregnant woman, and after the child is born, it will definitely cost a lot of money. Give me some time, okay?"

Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and sighed, "I already said last time that I wanted to pay you back, but you have to divorce Sister Yuming. You broke your promise. Brother Cheng, I'm not forcing you. I'm helping you. The law protects marriage. You didn't divorce Sister Yuming, but you're living with another woman. This is completely against morality and the law."

Cheng Bin scratched his head in distress and sighed, "Isn't there anything I can do? It's absolutely impossible for me to divorce Yu Ming, but Xiao Hong is pestering me again, and my parents are on Xiao Hong's side. Now I am alone and helpless."

Fang Zhicheng said disdainfully: "Brother Cheng, are you still a man? If you are a man, please be decisive. You can only choose one between sister-in-law and Xiaohong."

Cheng Bin remained silent, then suddenly sighed, "Mr. Cheng, what do you think of the matter I mentioned to you last time?"

Fang Zhicheng blushed, knowing that Cheng Bin was referring to the "vaccination" issue. He waved his hand and said angrily, "If you don't want me to look down on you, don't mention it again."

After saying this, Fang Zhicheng walked away, no longer paying attention to this "coward".

After work, just after sitting down, the phone rang. After Fang Zhicheng answered it, he got bad news. Lele was missing. Because Xie Yuxin's job was special, she couldn't take good care of Lele, so she left the child at her sister Xie Fang's house. This morning, Xie Fang sent Lele to kindergarten and bought buns at a stall on the way. In the blink of an eye, Lele disappeared.

This frightened Xie Fang, and she immediately called Xie Yuxin. Xie Yuxin didn't know why, but in a hurry, her first reaction was to call Fang Zhicheng.

Fang Zhicheng frowned and whispered, "Did you call the police?"

Xie Yuxin's tone was anxious, her voice trembling slightly, and she sighed softly: "I have called the police, but the police station said that it will take some time. I am very scared now. If anything happens to Lele, how will I live?"

Fang Zhicheng sighed, immediately connected Lele's disappearance to the child trafficking gang, and said softly: "Yuxin, don't worry. I will go to the Municipal Public Security Bureau to ask and see if there are any clues."

Xie Yuxin nodded heavily and said, "Can I go with you?"

Fang Zhicheng thought for a while and nodded, "Okay, we'll meet at the Municipal Public Security Bureau in fifteen minutes."

After hanging up the phone with Xie Yuxin, Fang Zhicheng called Song Wendi to explain the whole story. When Song Wendi heard that Qiu Hengde's sister-in-law's daughter was very likely to have been abducted, she frowned and urged, "Find the girl in the shortest possible time, otherwise, Lao Gao must take responsibility."

At the gate of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, we saw Xie Yuxin, who was filled with anxiety. Because the news was too sudden, she had no time to put on makeup. She looked pale and haggard, as if she was malnourished.

Fang Zhicheng walked over, patted Xie Yuxin's shoulder gently, and whispered, "Don't worry too much. The municipal party committee asked the public security system to crack down on child trafficking criminal gangs throughout the city two days ago. Because of the special rectification, a large number of police forces have been mobilized. As long as everything goes well, there will be news soon."

Xie Yuxin suddenly felt very upset. She covered her mouth, leaned on Fang Zhicheng's shoulder, and cried, "What if Lele gets hurt? I heard that those gangs that kidnap children are very cruel and will beat and maim children..."

Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and consoled him, "Don't overthink it. The first choice of these gangs is to resell the abducted children to families who want children. Lele is so pretty and cute. For them, if they can sell her for a good price, they will definitely not hurt Lele."

After listening to Fang Zhicheng's analysis, Xie Yuxin calmed down. Not long after, Xie Fang took a taxi. She cried even more sadly than Xie Yuxin. After all, Lele was brought up by Xie Fang, and Xie Fang's feelings for Lele were no less than Xie Yuxin's.

Fang Zhicheng gently comforted the two sisters, and then took them to the office of the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

Public Security Bureau Chief Gao Jin was in a bad mood today. First, Organization Minister Qiu Hengde called him, and then Municipal Party Committee Secretary Song Wendi personally gave Gao Jin a death order. Gao Jin conveyed the order, requiring relevant departments to find clues within half a day and solve the case within 48 hours, but those trafficking gangs were very cautious and had already woven a mature and unclear network of relationships. How could they be easily cracked

Half an hour later, news came that someone reported seeing a middle-aged man with two women and a little girl who looked like she had been abducted, staying at a gas station for a while in Xiahe County. The little girl was crying in the car, and one of the two women was trying to persuade her while the other was threatening her.

Xiahe County is more than 20 kilometers away from Yinzhou City. In just one hour, they escaped so far, which fully demonstrates the gang's terrifying ability to roam.

Fang Zhicheng recalled the map of Yinzhou City in his mind and whispered, "The trafficking gang is moving towards Huaibei. They probably want to transfer Lele to Donglu Province. We must track them quickly. Once they leave Yinzhou, it will not be so easy to track them."

Cross-region pursuit will become more difficult because it involves the deployment of police forces, so the best way is to intercept the vehicle within Yinzhou City.

Gao Jin and Ding Feng instructed: "Notify the Xiahe County Public Security Bureau immediately. They must find the target as soon as possible. At the same time, notify all highway intersections to conduct a strict inspection of the license plate number."

Ding Feng immediately stood up and used his mobile phone to make a remote call and give instructions.

Seeing that Xie Yuxin and Xie Fang looked extremely nervous, Fang Zhicheng stood up and poured them a cup of hot water. Half an hour later, from the video at the gas station, it was confirmed that the girl kidnapped by the gang was Lele. However, the gang had a keen sense of smell and seemed to feel that they were being targeted by the police. Instead of taking the main road, they jumped into the rural road.

Chapter 0069 Inspiring Action

Around 6pm, a convoy of four or five vehicles of various types drove into Dongba Township, Xiahe County, at the border of Yinzhou City and Linfeng City. Because it is adjacent to the river, this place is a little backward, with scattered villages scattered everywhere. The doors of the cars opened, and three to four people got out of each car.

Ding Feng pointed to a village with dim lights not far away and whispered to Fang Zhicheng, "Based on a day's tracking, the gang should have set up a hideout in that village. The sound of children crying was often heard in the three bungalows, and the villagers had doubts before."

Fang Zhicheng nodded and sighed, "Hurry up and do it. The sooner you do it, the better it will be for the victimized child to escape from the clutches of the devil as soon as possible."

Ding Feng said solemnly, "From the current situation, that group of gangs should have lethal weapons in their hands, so we can't act hastily. We need to wait patiently. Once we have a detailed understanding of the other party's situation, we can strike in one fell swoop and try to reduce the danger to the minimum."

Seeing the tears in Xie Yuxin's beautiful eyes, Fang Zhicheng gently embraced her shoulders and comforted her: "Don't worry too much, you will be able to see Lele soon."

Xie Yuxin clasped her hands together, praying, and murmured, "I just hope that nothing will happen to Lele, and that all disasters will befall me."

Fang Zhicheng could hear the maternal love in Xie Yuxin's voice, and couldn't help but think of his own mother. With a pain in his heart, he volunteered with Ding Feng, "Director Ding, I will carry out the search with your operatives. One more person means more strength."

Ding Feng hesitated for a long time, then nodded and said softly, "Okay, but it's dangerous. You must stay calm and restrain yourself."

Afterwards, Ding Feng called over the team leader Zhong Yang and carefully told him the key points of this operation. Zhong Yang's face was serious, different from usual. There was a bit of fierceness in his handsome face, which was the wildness commonly possessed by many public security personnel.

On the other side, Fang Zhicheng turned to Xie Yuxin and smiled gently, "You and the others stay here. I will help you bring Lele back safely."

Xie Yuxin was at a loss at the moment. Everything Fang Zhicheng did showed his courage and strength as a man. He became her only support. She was moved and said softly, "Everything is up to you."

It had just rained a few days ago, and the country road was muddy. After walking along the path for dozens of meters, the leather shoes on my feet were already covered with mud. Zhong Yang walked in the front, turning around from time to time to look at Fang Zhicheng, thinking that this guy was good and could keep his composure. If an ordinary person followed behind the action team, he would definitely not be so calm, but Fang Zhicheng did not say a word from beginning to end, and followed the team steadily at the end according to the pre-determined formation.

Arriving at the target location, Zhong Yang pointed his finger. A police officer behind him nimbly took out an unnamed climbing tool from his briefcase and climbed up the wall in no time.

"There's a dog in the yard!" the police officer made a gesture.

Zhong Yang responded with a shooting gesture, and a moment later, he heard the dogs' cries of pain. Fang Zhicheng realized that he must have knocked down the two vicious dogs with the tranquilizer gun.
