So, the next day, Fang Pingying subtly observed Zhou Yuni.
Speaking of Zhou Yuni, after a day, it soon reached the ti set by Xu He. Her heart was in conflict. She wasn't sure whether she should tell Fang Pingying about this matter.
Additionally, because Fang Pingying had reported to the police, she was also afraid that the police would quickly uncover this issue.
In Zhou Yuni's mind, she always thought the police were all-powerful. Perhaps they would soon find out, and once Xu He was caught by the police, everything would be exposed. Then, when Luo Zhiming and Luo Dashan found out the truth, she didn't know how they would deal with her.
Once a person is flustered, they naturally tend to slip up. Moreover, with Fang Pingying quietly observing Zhou Yuni all along, she quickly noticed sothing amiss.
First, although Zhou Yuni acted very anxious about her missing grandson, whether a person is truly anxious or just nervous at heart can be discerned with careful observation.
But, with her grandson missing, why would Zhou Yuni be nervous?
The more it was like this, the more convinced Fang Pingying beca that Zhou Yuni must know sothing.
Thus, once again, Fang Pingying quietly approached Luo Zhiming, asking him to recount the scene where Haohao went missing once again in detail.
This ti, since he wasn't in a hurry to find Haohao, Luo Zhiming narrated the entire process, naturally including the fact that Zhou Yuni went to the toilet for at least half an hour.
With this, Fang Pingying felt she found a flaw. She was now almost eighty to ninety percent sure this matter was related to Zhou Yuni.
However, Fang Pingying never imagined that Zhou Yuni was connected with Xu He. She initially and simply thought that Zhou Yuni might have sold Haohao to soone for money.
But, try as she might, Fang Pingying couldn't comprehend it, because she couldn't imagine Zhou Yuni being so heartless.
Furthermore, Fang Pingying thought, if this were truly the case, Zhou Yuni might have run away already. She wouldn't dare remain here. Watching her these past few days, she seed burdened with worries, as if she couldn't let sothing go.
Then, the only possibility, daringly hypothesized by Fang Pingying, was that Zhou Yuni might know where Haohao was, but for so reason dared not disclose it, yet she was still worried for Haohao, which kept her in conflict.
Or perhaps, for money or otherwise, she did sothing to Haohao, but the money hasn't been received yet.
If that were the case, Fang Pingying felt the situation would be easier to handle.
Therefore, on the morning of the day when Zhou Yuni and Xu He had made an appointnt, Fang Pingying and Luo Zhiyong analyzed the situation at ho, suggesting setting a trap to make Zhou Yuni reveal the truth voluntarily.
Though Luo Zhiyong too couldn't quite believe Zhou Yuni could be so excessive, he found sense in Fang Pingying's words. Besides, setting a trap wouldn't cause any harm, so he agreed.
Thus, the two pretended to be in a hurry, suddenly heading over to Luo Dashan's side. Fang Pingying anxiously called out to Zhou Guangsheng, Fang Xiu, and others who were there looking, "Quick, quick, stop searching here. I got the news that indeed a group of human traffickers was roaming nearby and took away several other children. Now those traffickers have escaped from here. Captain Huang has already sent people to pursue them. They said they already intercepted them, but the traffickers have certain conditions, refusing to let the people go. They are now at a standoff with the Police Station. They say Haohao is right there, and we need to go imdiately."
Upon hearing news of Haohao, Fang Xiu was too excited to speak clearly and imdiately pulled Zhou Guangsheng, "What, really news of Haohao? Then we go, let's go."
Being a man after all, Zhou Guangsheng remained more rational at this mont. He found what Fang Pingying said about the traffickers being in a standoff with the Police Station, bringing up conditions, sowhat odd, and pursued by asking, "Wait, those traffickers and the Police Station are at a standoff, what other conditions did they propose?"
"They said they want twenty thousand yuan for a child. As long as the money is delivered, they will release them imdiately." Fang Pingying glanced at Zhou Guangsheng, secretly gave him a signal, and continued, "However, the Police Station's funds are insufficient, so the traffickers are reluctant to let them go."
Zhou Guangsheng understood the hint in Fang Pingying's eyes and didn't pursue further questions, simply saying, "These traffickers are indeed quite brazen."
Fang Pingying nodded and then glanced at Zhou Yuni, deliberately taking out a stack of money from her bag and saying, "Money is a small matter; it's just twenty thousand, I've got it ready. I'll imdiately go to fetch Haohao back."
"Alright, alright, we are all going too." Apart from Luo Zhiyong, Fang Pingying, and Zhou Guangsheng, no one else doubted Fang Pingying's words, all eager to bring Haohao back, so everyone imdiately called to head out.
Seeing this, Zhou Yuni was in a panic, because she knew very well that Haohao wasn't abducted by traffickers, and it was soon the ti set by Xu He. If Fang Pingying left, even if she wanted to say sothing, there would be no chance. Then what about Haohao?
However, Zhou Yuni hesitated, unsure whether to stop Fang Pingying and the rest.
Later, seeing everyone truly about to leave, Zhou Yuni gritted her teeth and reached out to stop them, "Wait, once you go, how long before you return?"
At this mont, others were not inclined to bother with Zhou Yuni.
But Fang Pingying paused, elaborating clearly to her, "The traffickers are quite a distance away, almost to the Southern region. It will take us at least two to three days to return."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuni instinctively shook her head imdiately, "No, you can't go for that long."
"Why?" Fang Pingying glanced at her, imdiately pursuing the question, hoping Zhou Yuni would, in a mont of haste, reveal sothing.
Sure enough, Zhou Yuni imdiately said, "What if Haohao isn't there, wouldn't you be wasting ti?"
After speaking, Zhou Yuni saw the expression in Fang Pingying's eyes seed unreadable, quickly adding, "I an, you're not even sure Haohao is there, right? If sothing happens here, and you're all gone, wouldn't it delay things?"
Upon hearing this, Fang Pingying imdiately shook her head, deliberately appearing very assured, and replied, "No, Haohao is definitely there, Captain Huang is sure of it."
At this, Zhou Yuni curled her lip, grumbling indignantly, "What Captain Huang, he's just talking nonsense. I think he wants to cheat your money."
"Even if it's just to cheat us out of money, it's only twenty thousand. Compared to Haohao, this money is a small matter, and it's not like we can't co up with it." After saying this, Fang Pingying looked at Zhou Yuni, deliberately adding, "Moreover, to save Haohao, even if it's a hundred thousand, I'd give it without a blink."
Hearing such a large sum of money ntioned, Zhou Yuni's eyes lit up imdiately, and her mouth, out of control, blurted, "Then give a hundred thousand, and I'll save Haohao."
Zhou Yuni, out of urgent impatience, couldn't control her words at that mont, completely forgetting what her words had just revealed.
