926 A Tight Slap In The Face

Liu Hongjiang did not understand what Helian Wei Wei meant between the lines initially.

He felt that there was no logic nor reason in her words.

He walked out of the interrogation room and decided to use other methods to interrogate the next person, Baili Jia Jue.

However, his personal cell phone rang before he managed to open the door of the interrogation room.

On the other end of the call was his wife, her voice was dull and raspy, “Oh, what am I going to do, Old Liu? Our Hengheng is missing!”

“Missing? How could that happen?” Liu Hongjiang tilted his head. “Did you search for him in the garden? Perhaps he went to play in the mud?”

“I have looked everywhere but to no avail. All the neighbors said they did not see him around. How can he just disappear after I wake up from my nap?”

Liu Hongjiang felt his stomach churn and his heart plummet. “Calm down. How long has it been since he went missing?”

“I am not exactly sure when he went missing, but I have been finding him for the past three hours. I tried calling you but it never went through. Where have you been the whole night? You are always so busy with work, you don’t even have time for your own child!”

Liu Hongjiang spent a night in a hotel, but how could he tell his wife that? He ran his hands through his hair. “Alright, our main priority now is to look for Hengheng. I will settle this matter. In the meantime, you should think if there is anywhere you have yet to search.”

If it was a random child who went missing for that long, Liu Hongjiang would definitely hypothesize that the child was kidnapped.

However, this was Yun City, his territory.

Even Sixth Brother had always performed tasks for him, who would dare to kidnap his son?

His son would be safe and sound even if the sky collapsed.

However, it was that exact belief that gave Liu Hongjiang a tight slap in the face right at that moment.

When he wanted to hang up his phone, he heard a shriek from the other end of the call, “Ah!”

“What’s the matter?” Liu Hongjiang urged.

The voice in the phone turned into sobs of agony, “Old Liu, someone...someone kidnapped Hengheng.”

“That’s impossible!” Liu Hongjiang raised his voice.

“How is that not possible? The kidnappers sent a letter, saying that you sinned too much. You allowed child trafficking, and you would do anything to your own benefit. That is the reason they kidnapped Hengheng. They also asked you to think of what you did to those children who had memories of the past – they will do the same to Hengheng.” She clutched onto a picture of her son tightly while nagging him. “Old Liu, I don’t understand. What happened to those children with memories?”

Liu Hongjiang felt chills up his spine and an unprecedented haunting sense of fear upon hearing that. He knew how Sixth Brother treated the ‘products’. The harder it was to move the products, the more troublesome it was for them.

They had a method to make the children more obedient. For the children who still had memories, they would disable them by amputating their limbs before dumping them on the streets to beg for money.

Liu Hongjiang could not bring himself to think of an image that seemed normal to him previously as now it was such a dreadful scene for him to even imagine it.

“Old Liu, say something, Old Liu.” Old Liu’s wife was panicked over the phone, she had a bad feeling in her gut about this.

Liu Hongjiang’s words verified her concern. “I will go search now, I will talk to you again once everything is settled.”

After hanging up the call, Liu Hongjiang sent his men to search up all the surveillance cameras nearby. After some hard work, they finally found a delivery boy. He sent some people over, only to find a vacant car that had been dumped by the roadside.

It was obviously a well-thought-out job that used intricate skills and plans. There was almost no flaw nor loophole. Even if one wanted to track them down, there was no clue of where one should start looking.

It had been almost five hours since Liu Hongheng’s disappearance before Liu Hongjiang finally understood the meaning behind Helian Wei Wei’s words.

His eyes twitched and his hands clenched in fists. He was furious. He kicked open the door of the interrogation room and stomped in.

“You are the one who kidnapped Hengheng, right?” Liu Hongjiang looked straight at Helian Wei Wei, looking like he wanted to strangle her on the spot. “Where is Hengheng? I demand you to hand him over now!”

Helian Wei Wei leaned back, her tone was calm, “Why are you so anxious? This is only one child. You were not as anxious over the whole railroad car of children trapped in the sleeper train.”

“Stop talking crap. I’m going to ask you again. Where is our Hengheng!” Liu Hongjiang was tripping on the edge of his sanity.

Helian Wei Wei glared back at him. “Are you feeling awful? There are 661 cities in Mainland China, out of them there are four province-level cities, 283 prefecture-level cities, and 374 district-level cities. Those parents who want to locate their children would have to spend two years and travel to a different city every day to complete the search in the whole Mainland China. I have not even started on the 1636 counties within these cities. It would take them seven years to finish searching all these places, and by that time, their child would have grown up already. The parents will not have a clue about what their child looks like by then. The lucky ones may stand a chance, but the unlucky ones might spend their whole life searching. They might never see their child ever again. This is all because of child trafficking. You know what Sixth Brother does for a living, yet you let him be. As long as you got your benefits and nobody found out or exposed anything, you would allow it to happen. Here’s a question for you – if it was your child who was kidnapped, would you still outrage your conscience for money?

Upon hearing that, Liu Hongjiang’s expression was as cold as ice, “It is indeed your tactic! What do you want? Do you want to be released without charges? Do you even know who is in charge of the whole of Yun City? Yet, you came here acting like a hero. Let me tell you one thing. If you do not hand me Hengheng by today, you can choke on a bullet!”

“That’s weird. Didn’t you say that trafficking will never be a death sentence in Mainland China, no matter how big the scandal? Now that your son is in trouble, you’re changing the sentence?” Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrows with a faint smile. She then moved her finger and made a command fitting to her situation via her Bluetooth earphone.

Liu Hongjiang was enraged over her words that his face flushed purple. He decided that he would give her a heavy punishment since he had the right to make decisions.

As for Hengheng, he did not believe that he would not be able to find him. He was the one who made the rules in Yun City!

However, Liu Hongjiang was unaware that his arrogant words and disgusting behavior were being recorded on a computer. It was traveling at the speed of light, spreading like wildfire on the Internet...
