Chapter 540: Integrity and Conscience
Seeing this, Liming asked hurriedly: "Xiao Ning, do you know him?"
"I don't know him," Ning Xin shook her head and added, "But this name sounds so familiar."
Several people looked at her hopefully.
"By the way, I remembered." Ning Xin suddenly shouted loudly.
Chu Tianshu stretched out his finger and put it to his mouth, motioning for her to speak lower.
Ning Xin stuck out her tongue and whispered: "Brother, during the winter vacation, the two children we rescued in the reservoir on Xiufeng Mountain were Leng Feng and Mengmeng?"
Chu Tianshu was stunned for a moment and said, "Yes, it should be the two of them."
Zhu Yongzhi and Liming asked what was going on.
Ning Xin told her that during the Spring Festival, when she and Chu Tianshu were playing in Xiufeng Mountain, Mengmeng and a boy were playing on the ice of the reservoir and accidentally fell into an ice hole. It was Chu Tianshu who braved the cold to rescue Mengmeng.
Mengmeng was rescued, and the boy was named Leng Feng. At that time, he took Mengmeng away on a motorcycle.
After hearing this, Liming thought for a while and said, "That must be what happened. That evening, Mengmeng came back from outside with a high fever all night. Her mother and I asked her what was going on, but she just refused while covering her hands with the quilt.
explain."
Chu Tianshu said: "This is also a clue."
Although Zhu He in the ward was guarding his mother's bedside, he had been paying attention to the conversations outside. Ning Xin's scream just now did not wake up her sleeping mother, but it aroused her alertness. What happened that afternoon suddenly became clear.
Ruomeng, as a mother, Zhu He can hardly survive.
She read the letter Li Meng left over and over again. The letter was very simple, with only a few dozen words: "Dad, Mom, I am not the good boy you want. I'm gone, and you don't have to look for me anymore."
." But these twenty-some words hit her heart every time.
She finally knew that her neglect and carelessness towards her daughter had finally been retaliated against. Her daughter was growing up, and girls during this period needed more care and attention from their mothers. Although she had been worried before, she always had illusions and luck, and she always
I feel that Mengmeng is a good child and bad luck will not befall him.
Now she understands that being a mother requires sacrifice. If you don’t pay every little bit, you may end up paying even more heavily!
Mengmeng's life may not be in danger, but when he thinks about her being with a boy, Zhu He's heart will ache inexplicably, and many undue fears will come up at the same time. Thinking of all kinds of abduction and trafficking in society
The rumors of kidnappings in the red light district and the ridiculous things that happened among the children made her, a mother, almost on the verge of tears.
At this moment, she heard that there seemed to be new clues outside. Zhu He couldn't bear it anymore. She glanced at her sleeping mother, opened the door and came to the living room.
Zhu Yongzhi glared at her and complained: "You all take your work too seriously and don't take your children seriously at all. There were signs half a year ago, but you just didn't pay attention to it. If we had taken measures at that time
, how could it have developed to this point?"
Liming lowered his head and remained silent.
Zhu He said with tears in his eyes: "Dad, we were wrong. After Mengmeng comes back, I will treat her well and never let her be wronged again."
Chu Tianshu continued: "Ning Xin and I ran down the mountain that day, but we didn't see Leng Feng and Mengmeng. This means that they had a hiding place nearby at that time."
Liming nodded and said, "It should be like this. Leng Feng is originally from Qingyuan. His father made money from business and probably bought a house on Xiufeng Mountain."
Chu Tianshu said: "If this is the case, it will be in the 'Bodhi Garden'."
At this moment, Chu Tianshu's cell phone rang, and it was Wei Shijie calling.
"How's it going, Old Wei?" Chu Tianshu was very confident in Wei Shijie's efficiency.
"We found out." Sure enough, Wei Shijie said: "The owner of one number is Leng Tianci, the owner of another number is Leng Feng, and the owner of still another number is Huang Yanping."
Ning Xin was close to Chu Tianshu and could listen to their phone calls closely.
Needless to say, Leng Tianci is Leng Feng’s father, and Huang Yanping is probably Leng Feng’s mother.
Chu Tianshu asked: "Old Wei, what is the current status of these numbers?"
He stretched out his hand to Ning Xin. Ning Xin understood and immediately handed over a pen and paper.
Wei Shijie said: "Leng Tianci is a large leather merchant in Qingyuan City. The company's name is Tianfeng Leather Co., Ltd.; Leng Feng's number is from Linjiang City, but it has been turned off now. The last call he made was to
We contacted Leng Tianci and initially found out that the number had reached Xinhe City in Jianghai Province. Huang Yanping has not spoken to these two people recently."
The hourly investigation showed that the activity ability in Qingyuan is not low. Wei Shijie spent a lot of money to recruit Liu Minghui and others to his side. It seems that it was indeed worth the money.
"Okay, Lao Wei, thank you for your hard work, Liu Minghui and the others." Chu Tianshu recorded the contents of Wei Shijie's report while talking on the phone.
Zhu Yongzhi and Liming read the contents recorded on the paper, looked at each other and nodded.
Wei Shijie asked: "Old Chu, what's going on? What else do you need me to do?"
"This Leng Feng took Professor Zhu's granddaughter away." Chu Tianshu said: "Lao Wei, ask Liu Minghui and the others to check the situation of Tianfeng Leather Company. If you find anything, please text me anytime."
Wei Shijie was very clear about the purpose of Chu Tianshu's trip. Hearing this, he laughed and said: "Haha, Lao Chu, you are so lucky. This is a most important gift."
Chu Tianshu smiled and did not dare to say anything in front of Zhu Yongzhi. He said goodbye and hung up the phone.
Liming looked at the words on the note and said, "Call the police, Xiao Chu."
Chu Tianshu said: "Uncle Li, it's not impossible to call the police, but I guess it will take a long time."
Dawn asked: "Why?"
Chu Tianshu said: "This is just an ordinary child running away from home. It is not a major criminal case such as abduction and kidnapping. It is difficult to attract the attention of the public security department. Moreover, Mengmeng's true whereabouts are still unclear. Wait until the police
Once our investigation is complete and the police are dispatched, it will not be until four or five days at the earliest."
Zhu He was anxious and asked quickly: "What should we do?"
Chu Tianshu pondered for a moment and said: "Uncle Li, Aunt Zhu, do you think this will work? You and aunt will take good care of your wife and search for Mengmeng's whereabouts in Linjiang City. Ning Xin and I went to find Leng Feng's father.
If necessary, we will rush to Xinhe City overnight, find Mengmeng's whereabouts, and contact you immediately."
Neither Liming nor Zhu He dared to make the decision without permission, so they went to see Zhu Yongzhi.
Zhu Yongzhi has been observing Chu Tianshu attentively and basically agrees with his opinions and ideas.
As a noble old intellectual, he can use Qiao Mingsong's connections for his granddaughter. However, as Chu Tianshu said, even if a high school student ran away from home, even if the provincial governor was alerted, the basic police procedure for handling the case is still
If you have to leave, with this delay, maybe Mengmeng has been found.
Of course, it would be hard for Zhu Yongzhi to ask him to bother Qiao Mingsong with such a personal matter and excessively occupy public resources. If he mobilized troops and caused a stir in the city, it would have an adverse impact on his and Qiao Mingsong's reputation.
.
Zhu Yongzhi was silent for a moment and suddenly asked: "Xiao Chu, tell me the truth. Is there any other purpose for you and Xiao Ning to help find Li Meng with such painstaking efforts?"
After saying that, Zhu Yongzhi stared at Chu Tianshu intently.
Zhu He had a look of astonishment on his face, and his eyes glanced back and forth at Zhu Yongzhi and Chu Tianshu.
Chu Tianshu, who had been thinking about how to find Li Meng, never expected that Zhu Yongzhi would ask such a pointed question at this time. He was not mentally prepared at all and didn't know how to answer.
Zhu Yongzhi seemed to see through Chu Tianshu's thoughts. He said slowly: "Xiao Chu, with all due respect, it's not that my old man is unkind. If you can help us find Mengmeng, it will be equivalent to saving my wife's life."
I can't thank you enough for my life, but please tell me frankly that what you want me to do will not violate my principles and conscience, okay?"
Looking at Zhu Yongzhi's gray hair and firm expression, Chu Tianshu was moved by the old man's persistence and integrity. He said sincerely: "Teacher, I admit that I came to you today to ask for something from you. But.
, We want to find Mengmeng, not for our own selfish gain, and we also ask the teacher to believe in the conscience of your students."
"Okay, I believe you." Zhu Yongzhi nodded and said: "Xiao Chu, with your honesty, as long as what you ask for is worthy of my helping hand, even if there is nothing cute, I can help you
I will definitely help.”
"Teacher, student, thank you for your understanding." Chu Tianshu held Zhu Yongzhi's hand with both hands and said emotionally: "Please take care of yourself. We will get Mengmeng back as soon as possible so that our teacher's wife can recover as soon as possible."
Zhu Yongzhi patted the back of Chu Tianshu's hand and nodded heavily.
This gentle pat felt extremely important to Chu Tianshu, and he nodded solemnly, all of which were words he couldn't say.
After coming out of the Provincial People's Hospital, Chu Tianshu proposed to go back to Qingyuan to find Leng Feng's father, Leng Tianci.
Ning Xin was very careful. While Chu Tianshu was reversing the car in the parking lot, she ran to the small shop in front of the hospital and bought bread and water. After getting in the car, she tore off the packaging, took a bite for herself, and gave it to Chu who was driving.
Take a bite of Tianshu.
Originally, she wanted to give Chu Tianshu some water. This was a difficult move, as it could not block the driver's view, but also prevented the bumps on the road. She tried several times without success, and the leaked mineral water still wet her.
After getting Chu Tianshu's clothes wet, Ning Xin had no choice but to give up with a smile.
When the car passed the toll station, Chu Tianshu asked Ning Xin to drive. He grabbed some bread and mineral water and ate it. Then he took out his mobile phone, connected it to the car charger, and started calling Leng Tianci's mobile phone.
The phone was quickly connected.
However, no one answered.
When receiving a call from an unknown number late at night, most people will naturally think that it is a scammer and usually ignore it.
