ng Qingxue saw her grim look and could not help feeling disappointed, too. “What happened? Did we not get the license number correctly, or...”
“We found the car’s location. It’s a white Baojun 730.”
“That’s right, but I don’t know what the car model is, except that it’s seven seaters; it is very spacious, with the seats in the back dismantled. The car logo is of a horse.”
“The car drove to the capital before proceeding to Yishan Town.”
“Well... since we already have leads, shouldn’t we go after the criminals imdiately?”
“The station director needs to approve the proposal.”
The pregnant lady gazed at her friend in puzzlent. “What does that an?”
“We are just insignificant folks, so the director won’t pay attention to this case at all. Even though we got hold of the suspects’ whereabouts, the director won’t use the limited annual funding, issued by the provincial bureau, for a nobody like . The inter-provincial arrest requires one hundred thousand yuan and I can’t afford that amount at all.”
The news was a great shock to ng Qingxue. She pressed on anxiously. “Do we just sit back and do nothing then? We obviously have a good grasp of the suspects’ whereabouts, so are we not gonna do anything just because of such a reason?”
“Qingxue, this is a very pragmatic and cruel society. Everything depends on your status. Nobody will pay attention to you if you’ve got no status.”
She did not know what to say.
“I’ll have to think of so other ways.” Chu He sighed.
“I can help you find your son.” Mu Yancheng’s calm voice was heard from behind.
The two won turned their heads over in unison, to see the man calmly walking into the room. “Finding soone is nothing difficult for ; I can help you.”
“Really? Are you so kind to help ?” The policewoman was unconvinced by his gesture of goodwill.
“Of course, there’s a condition attached”—his gaze then fell on ng Qingxue—”and that’s for you to return with to the capital.”
The policewoman cocked a brow in disapproval. “Are you using my circumstance as a bargaining chip to force Qingxue?”
“This isn’t sothing like that; it’s simply a condition.”
After saying that, the man stopped looking at Chu He and focused on his ex-girlfriend. “I can help you find the boy but on one condition: You must return to the capital with .”
The woman on the bed sniggered. “Why must you insist on returning to the capital?”
“I can’t leave you alone here.”
She bit her lower lip hard for a long ti as she gripped the quilt hard. Suddenly, she smiled and nodded faintly. “Alright.”
Chu He was alard. “Qingxue, don’t force yourself—”
“I’m not forcing myself.” She cut her off with a gentle smile. “It’s alright. I’m just returning to the capital with him. This isn’t a harsh condition. Right now, the most important thing is to find your son.” After saying this, she turned to address Mu Yancheng. “Can you really help us find Baby Chu?”
“Yes.”
“Alright, then. As long as you’re able to locate the boy, I’ll return to the capital with you.”
On another end.
At the Gu residence.
In a large bedroom, Baby Chu lay in bed, spread-eagle. He slept extraordinarily well without dreams all night.
He woke up at dawn, but when he opened his eyes, the morning sun was already shining outside the open window.
He sat up and surveyed the surroundings. The spacious room was full of classic, oriental charm, where even the furnishings looked grand and possessed an air of solemn elegance.
He looked down and saw that the dirty clothes on him had been removed. A pile of clothes was neatly folded by the side of the bed, and when he took them, he realized that they were brand new.
