The driver slowly rolled down the window. Need a ride?
Lin Wanyi was in a hurry; she needed to get to town immediately to find the police, but she was also cautious.
Seeing a woman wearing a hat sitting in the car, she let her guard down. Please take me to town. Thank you, I can pay.
The car started up again, and the women behind her breathed a sigh of relief.
But sitting in the car, Lin Wanyi realized something was wrong.
She hurriedly asked the driver, Sir, did you take the wrong way? This isn't the road to town.
The driver kept his mouth shut, not saying a word, but quietly locked the windows.
Panic set in for Lin Wanyi. She turned to look at the woman in the passenger seat.
Her heart sank completely to the bottom.
She had to get out of the car, she absolutely had to.
She frantically beat on the driver. Stop the car! I want you to stop the car!
Instead of stopping, the woman in the passenger seat pulled out a knife and pressed it against Lin Wanyi's neck. Don't move, or you'll never see your daughter again.
Lin Wanyi watched helplessly as a police car drove past at the corner.
The next second, she lost consciousness.
Lin Jiajun and Wang Hao were locked in a fierce fight.
Liu Chunlan wanted to help, and Wang Jianguo also wanted to launch a sneak attack.
But the moment they moved, they were blocked by Zhang Cuihua, Wang Xiu'e, and the others.
Zhang Cuihua looked at her with contempt. Liu Chunlan, they are still guests.
Are you trying to gang up on one person?
Let me tell you, don't ruin the reputation of our Wangjia Village.
Neither you nor Wang Jianguo is allowed to move. Let the two of them settle it themselves.
They didn't fight for long before the police arrived.
Liu Chunlan slapped her thigh and lunged toward the police.
Oh, nephew, you're finally here! Come look at what this outsider did to my son.
Hurry up and arrest him, take him away! He's an absolute savage.
Who knows what backwater ditch this thing crawled out of.
Quick, arrest him and throw him in jail.
The police officer's face darkened.
What nephew? I am a police officer on official duty.
Now, who can explain the situation? Who called the police?
Wu Qin and Lin Jiajun raised their hands at the same time. I did.
The officer pointed at Lin Jiajun. You, tell me, what's going on?
Lin Jiajun recounted everything in detail. After listening, the officer sternly criticized Wang Hao.
You are seriously breaking the law. Are you trying to commit kidnapping and false imprisonment?
We live in a society governed by law, and everyone is free. You cannot force someone to stay here against their will.
What?
Liu Chunlan shrieked.
Nephew, what are you saying?
I watched you grow up, and you were classmates with Wang Kai.
Why aren't you helping us? Why are you speaking up for that outsider?
How can you bite the hand that feeds you?
The officer's face grew even darker.
Don't talk nonsense. I am enforcing the law impartially. If you have a problem with it, you can sue me in court.
You!
Liu Chunlan hit a brick wall and was indignant.
Wang Ergou, I really misjudged you.
I'm going to go find your mother later.
The officer ignored her and asked Lin Jiajun:
How do you want to handle this? Settle it here, or go to the police station together?
Lin Jiajun blurted out, I want Wang Hao to divorce my sister immediately.
The officer didn't show bias toward him either.
We can't decide that. If it comes to it, you can file for divorce in court.
Lin Jiajun knew this was impossible right now.
He was just speaking out of anger.
He looked around but didn't see Lin Wanyi, so he quickly called her.
But he called several times, and no one answered.
He sent a message:
Sis, where are you? I'm fine now, the police are here.
Sis, I'll come find you and we can go back to the city together.
At worst, we'll hire a lawyer and sue. You don't need to be afraid.
No one replied to his messages, and Lin Jiajun grew anxious.
He tried video calling, but after several attempts, no one picked up.
He felt something was wrong. Even Wang Hao came over.
Can't reach her?
Lin Jiajun didn't look at him; he hurriedly told the police officer:
I can't find my sister. I don't know where she went.
In the crowd, Wu Qin raised her hand.
Jiajun, your sister should have gone to town. We saw her get into a car.
A car?
Lin Jiajun remembered the taxi he had told to wait by the road, and he quickly asked Wu Qin:
Was it a taxi? The taxi waiting by the road?
No.
Wu Qin answered honestly:
We didn't see any taxi. Wanyi flagged down a passing car to go to town.
Don't worry, she'll be fine.
How could Lin Jiajun not worry?
She was alone, her phone couldn't be reached, and it wasn't the driver who brought them.
Lin Jiajun was furious, cursing the driver in his heart.
He had clearly paid the money, how could the guy just leave?
This time, Wang Hao also panicked. He immediately called Lin Wanyi.
Still, no one answered.
Angry, he confronted Lin Jiajun:
What exactly did you guys say? Where could she have gone?
Lin Jiajun was already fuming:
What did we say? Isn't this all because of you?
We wouldn't have even come if you hadn't forced us.
Wang Hao, how do you have the nerve to question me?
Wang Hao was speechless, but Liu Chunlan was dismissive.
Haha, let her be cheap, let her act crazy.
It'd be best if she just died. Just drop dead.
You!
Lin Jiajun wished he could sew her filthy mouth shut.
But, worrying about Lin Wanyi, he held back his temper.
He pleaded with the police:
Officer, please help me find my sister. You have to find her.
The officer immediately said,
Get in my car.
As the car was about to drive off, Wu Qin told them:
Wanyi got into an unlicensed car. There was a man and a woman inside.
As for anything else, I don't know.
As soon as the police car left, Wang Hao also opened his driver's side door, but Liu Chunlan stopped him:
Where are you going? Son, where are you going?
Wang Hao was anxious:
I'm going to look for Lin Wanyi! What if something bad happens to her?
So what if it does?
Wang Jianguo blew out a puff of smoke.
Her dying would be the best outcome. You two aren't divorced yet anyway.
If she dies, everything will be yours.
Son, do you understand?
As long as she dies, you won't have to do a thing, and her five hundred thousand will be all yours.
Five hundred thousand, five hundred thousand.
Wang Hao slammed the car door in frustration.
All you care about day in and day out is money, money, money! You have so much in your hands, why don't you give me some?
Move, get out of the way!
I'm going to find my wife, I don't want the money.
He quickly drove his car to the town's police station.
Lin Jiajun was still pacing around anxiously.
He still couldn't get through to Lin Wanyi's phone, and his messages were like stones dropped into the ocean.
The police were checking the surveillance footage. An officer told Lin Jiajun:
There are very few security cameras on the village roads, and some places don't have any at all.
So this is going to be somewhat difficult.
Ten minutes passed, then half an hour.
They still hadn't found anything.
Wang Hao suddenly said,
Call your hotel and ask if she went back. Maybe her phone just ran out of battery.
Lin Jiajun immediately called the hotel.
But the person on the other end gave him a definitive answer:
There's no one in the room.
