Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The other party only said that they want my parents to bring them to find their daughter and son-in-law, Xia Ru and the secretary, Xia Wan explained, recounting what she had heard from the shop a.s.sistant.

What danger could there be in letting them help us find someone? a young policeman muttered, recording the conversation.

Officer Song immediately turned and silenced him with a stern look.

The young policeman promptly closed his mouth and remained silent.

Any other clues? Officer Song inquired, turning his attention back to Xia Wan.

Xia Wan shook her head before adding, Someone mentioned earlier that the doc.u.ment has returned.

Im not certain if this is related to the doc.u.ment.

Though it was just a hunch, Xia Wan was almost convinced that the secretary was behind this!

Ever since Xia Jiang and Song Yan discovered that Xia Ru had been admitted to the mental hospital, they had been too ashamed to show their faces in the village.

It must have been the secretary who found them and caused this situation!

But they claimed they wanted to find their daughter and son -in-law. This doesnt seem straightforward, Xia Wan continued.

Theyve already visited Xia Ru in the mental hospital. I checked with the hospital, but Xia Ru hasnt been discharged.

In other words, they came here to take my parents!

Upon hearing this, Officer Song grasped the gravity of the situation.

Are you suggesting they abducted your parents for some ulterior motive? Officer Song speculated, based on Xia Wans account.

They havent contacted me yet. Im unsure of their intentions, Xia Wan said, visibly tense. I fear they might not just be after blackmail, but seeking revenge!

Revenge? Officer Song furrowed his brows. But

But only the police knew about the previous incident! he exclaimed, pausing abruptly.

Xia Wan felt a surge of frustration.

She had previously requested the police station to keep her commendation discreet. Yet, a significant ceremony was held, albeit internally at the school. It was impossible to ensure such a ceremony would remain secret.

Though the commendation was in the name of a good Samaritan, the true story might have leaked.

It was as if Jiang Lu knew!

Xia Wan glared at Chen Mo. Jiang Lu! Could he be involved?

Who is Jiang Lu? Officer Song looked puzzled, glancing between Xia Wan and Chen Mo.

Hes a new transfer student at our school, arriving on the day of the commendation ceremony, Xia Wan explained. He informed me that the doc.u.ment had returned.

What else does he know? Officer Songs concern grew.

After all, despite several arrests, the case remained open, with key masterminds at large.

This was known only within the upper echelons of the police force; the public was led to believe the case was closed, a strategy to lower the masterminds guard.

I dont know what he knows, but he must know the doc.u.ments whereabouts! Xia Wan, seizing Chen Mos arm, exclaimed, Yes! Lets find Jiang Lu. He can lead us to the doc.u.ment!

Xia Wan made to leave, but Chen MO held her back. Wait!

We cant a.s.sume your parents were taken due to the doc.u.ment. Besides, we dont know Jiang Lus connection to it.

I suggest we wait

Wait for what? Xia Wan implored, her patience waning.

Seeing her distress, Chen MO rea.s.sured her gently, We still dont understand why your parents were taken.

I doubt it was solely for revenge. Furthermore, if it were for revenge, targeting your parents doesnt add up

Xia Wan understood Chen Mos implication but couldnt mask her anxiety. Im worried that if it involves the doc.u.ment, were running out of time

We could start by investigating your uncles family, Chen MO suggested, turning to Xu Ye, who stood nearby. Take a few people to Xia Wans uncles house. We might find clues there.

Also, have someone revisit the mental hospital to check if we missed anything.

To Officer Song, Chen MO added, Regarding todays events, I hope

Officer Song nodded in understanding. Ill keep it under wraps.. Let me know as soon as you have any information, and well act immediately!
