Chapter 352 Finding People
Shang Hua spoke with conviction, and Zhuang Qingxiang had a lot to say to argue with her, but the remaining clarity and rationality in her mind told her that arguing wouldn't solve anything, and finding her son was the most important thing.
"Sister Shang, please stop talking."
Lu Congyue and Zhuang Qingxiang shared the same thought: "Finding the child is the most important thing right now. We can talk about anything else after we find the child."
He had his first objection to Shang Hua, but he had to keep it to himself for the time being.
Zhuang Qingxiang pushed away his hand that was supporting her and stood in front of the police officer: "Officer, what's the progress of the investigation?"
She was already beautiful and delicate, but now, because of the loss of her son, her face was pale and broken, which would soften anyone's heart.
The police officer quickly explained the situation from the investigation.
Shanghua was shopping with her child at a department store. Everything was fine at first, but then she saw a navy uniform for her child at the clothing counter and decided to buy it for her. While she was putting her child down to check the quality of the clothes, her child went missing.
"We visited the department store and found that customers were constantly moving around, so many people didn't notice anything. However, two sales clerks saw a man carrying a sleeping child as he left the store, and he looked somewhat flustered," the police officer said.
Zhuang Qingxiang clenched her fists, feeling cold sweat pouring down her back. She bit her tongue to calm herself down.
"Officer, may I see those two sales clerks? I'd like to ask what the man looks like."
The police officer raised an eyebrow slightly: "Comrade, do you know who took your child?"
Upon hearing this, Shang Hua immediately perked up his ears and stared intently at Zhuang Qingxiang: "You know?"
"I don't know, but a few days ago a man suddenly came to my house and spread false information. I want to know if it was him," Zhuang Qingxiang said to the police officer, ignoring her.
Upon hearing this, the police officers quickly took her to find the two sales clerks.
A comparison of the man's physical features confirmed that it was indeed the same person.
The police officers immediately became alert.
This wasn't a spur-of-the-moment act by the kidnapper; it was a premeditated crime.
"Comrades, please come with us to the station to give your statements," the police officer said sternly.
The group quickly went to the police station. Zhuang Qingxiang recounted the events of that day in detail. Lu Congyue and Shang Hua were at the hospital with Cheng Lin at the time and nothing happened, nor did they see any strange strangers.
Shang Hua frowned deeply: "Did you offend someone? Why didn't anyone mention this to me before? If I had known earlier, this wouldn't have happened."
Zhuang Qingxiang offended many people; she even sent her own biological father to jail.
Li Weixing's family is still around...
Zhuang Qingxiang took a deep breath, glanced at Lu Congyue, and Lu Congyue nodded, indicating that he wanted to find a room to talk to the police officer alone.
Confused, Shang Hua borrowed a phone from the Public Security Bureau and called Shang Jianjun to explain the situation.
Upon hearing this, Shang Jianjun immediately scolded Shang Hua, saying that she was over thirty years old and yet so careless as to lose someone else's child.
Shang Hua's face flushed red from the scolding, but he didn't dare say anything. After the other person finished venting his anger, he said, "Dad, do you know anyone here? Could you please ask them to help find the child...?"
If something really happens to Xiao Chenglin, how will she bring up that matter with Lu Congyue?
It's estimated that the two of them will not only be unable to become relatives in the future, but will also become enemies.
Shang Jianjun had no choice but to agree to his eldest daughter's request, especially since it involved losing Lu Congyue's son.
After hanging up the phone, Shang Hua breathed a slight sigh of relief.
As long as there are enough people, we'll turn this city upside down and find the child!
Zhuang Qingxiang and Lu Congyue have also explained the situation to the police officers. Knowing what Zhuang Qingxiang had done, the police took it very seriously. Their first reaction was that enemy agents had infiltrated and were retaliating against Zhuang Qingxiang.
As for Li Weixing, he did not have the time or the means to commit the crime.
In order to catch the enemy agents and find the child, the public security department sent out almost all its personnel to set up a wide net to search for the person.
Shang Jianjun also contacted the troops here, asking for their help in finding the person. As a result, the troops also sent a number of people to search for the person.
However, despite sending out so many people, not a single person was found for three days in a row.
Zhuang Qingxiang was able to remain calm on the first day, but she couldn't stay calm on the second day. In the past, if a child went missing in the village for more than a day, they were basically never found again.
In the city, with its convenient transportation, children can easily be taken anywhere in a day.
"No, I have to go find Cheng Lin."
On the third day, she had reached her breaking point and walked out muttering to herself.
Lu Congyue stopped her: "Where are you going to look? What will happen to me and the children if something happens to you again? Qingxiang, calm down, stay home and wait for news. We've sent out so many people, we're sure we can find you."
"No, I can't calm down. Cheng Lin is waiting for me. He must be hoping that I will find him. He is still so young. He... he..." Zhuang Qingxiang broke down in tears.
A child who is just over one year old should not have any memory. If he cannot be found, he probably won't even remember his mother.
Zhuang Qingxiang broke down and rushed outside. When Lu Congyue tried to stop her, she hit and kicked him.
She harbored resentment towards him.
If he hadn't brought Shang Hua, and if Shang Hua hadn't taken Cheng Lin away alone, none of this would have happened!
"Lu Congyue, let me go. Go find your Sister Shang, and I'll go find my Chenglin. My Chenglin won't get in your way. He's so well-behaved and doesn't understand anything. I'll take him far away from you, okay?"
"What nonsense are you talking about! Qingxiang, don't overthink it. My relationship with Sister Shang is very simple. You can't assume that kind of relationship between me and her just because Chenglin is missing."
Lu Congyue tried to reason with her, but who listens to reason at a time like this?
Seeing that Zhuang Qingxiang was having a serious emotional breakdown, Lu Congyue simply knocked her unconscious.
Little Lu Yue is already sensible. Knowing that her younger brother is missing, she only dares to shed tears silently, not daring to distract her parents. When she sees her mother faint, she rushes over to block Lu Congyue.
"Dad, don't bully Mom!"
Lu Congyue hadn't slept for a day and a night, and his head was throbbing. He forced a smile and said, "Daddy didn't bully Mommy. Daddy just wanted Mommy to rest for a while. Yueyue, be good. You watch over Mommy and little brother Donghua. Daddy will lock the door and go out to find your brother, okay?"
Xiao Luyue shook her head: "No, I can't stop Mom."
She's just a child. If her mother wakes up and starts making a fuss about going out like before, she'll climb over the wall to get out. How can a little kid like her stop her?
"Dad, why don't you call Aunt Yongxian and Uncle Shi over? Uncle Shi will definitely have a way to calm Mom down," she cleverly suggested.
Lu Congyue had been so busy these past few days that he was completely overwhelmed and forgot to ask Sun Yongxian and Shi Peiran to come and help.
"Yueyue is so smart. Daddy will go call them over. Soon, Mommy should be able to sleep for a while. You watch over her." He patted little Lu Yue's head.
Xiao Luyue nodded vigorously, then watched him leave with concern.
