Chapter 843: Breakthrough
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gao Ming reassured, “Don’t panic. Teacher Zhou is someone we know. She won’t treat us too badly. Sir, you’re quite handsome. Are you Teacher Zhou’s husband?”
His question was directed at the man driving the car.
Brother Gua, the man in question, chuckled at the comment, while Xie Chang, sitting beside him, looked at Gao Ming in disbelief and annoyance. “You little brat, can’t you see? Zhou Hua is my woman!” he retorted.
Brother Gua laughed heartily, “Indeed, you are a child from the First Bilingual Primary School. Your perception is impressive. You can tell who’s in charge just by looking!”
Brother Gua’s words couldn’t have been clearer. He was the leader, and Xie Chang had no choice but to flatter him, “Indeed, Brother Gua is wise and powerful. He is no ordinary man. But Brother Gua, these two little ones are awake now. What if they cause trouble later?”
Brother Gua sneered, “Then we’ll cut off their little heads and bury them somewhere. We’ll separate the heads from the bodies to make their deaths more gruesome. Even as ghosts, they’ll be terrifying and despised. We’re in the middle of nowhere, do you think I’m afraid of these little things?”
In the past, when he caught these little ones, a little scare was all it took to keep them in line. Brother Gua was experienced and not worried about these two boys playing any tricks. He had plenty of ways to deal with them.
Sure enough, upon hearing these words, the two boys in the back of the car immediately quieted down. They remained silent for a good while. The girl, possibly due to the strong effects of the drug, was still unconscious.
As the car passed through a town, Su Li’s eyes lit up.
Wasn’t this Pingshui Town?
He nudged Jiang Nuan, who was still in a daze.
Jiang Nuan opened her eyes briefly before falling back into her stupor.
Su Li, however, became restless again. He leaned against the trunk, his eyes fixed on the soda by the car window, “Teacher Zhou, sirs, I’m so thirsty!”
Zhou Hua, both scared and annoyed, turned around and scolded, “Thirsty? Stop playing tricks. Let me tell you, you won’t see your mother again. It’s better to behave and avoid getting beaten!”
After steadying Gu Zi, the man hurried to the window and told the officer, “Officer, my van has been stolen at…”
Gu Zi overheard a familiar address and felt like she had found a breakthrough. She quickly approached and interrupted the man, “Do you live on Huaiyang Road? Do you know Zhou Hua?”
The man had just mentioned an address to the officer, and it was unmistakably Zhou Hua’s address.
Gu Zi considered a possibility and rushed forward, causing the man to step back in surprise.
The officer quickly explained, “Sir, don’t be afraid. This lady’s child is missing and hasn’t been found yet. We apologize for the disturbance. I have already recorded the information about your van. Please answer her question.”
Upon hearing about the missing child, the man naturally understood and thought for a moment before replying, “I know Zhou Hua, she lives across from me. However, I don’t interact much with her. I have some dealings with her husband. She’s a teacher, and I’m just a laborer who transports sand.”
The officer quickly checked his notes and asked, “From what you just said, your van is your transport tool, and you frequently enter and exit Jifu New Village, helping residents transport sand and cement. Coincidentally, the children also disappeared from Jifu New Village.”
The officer’s words frightened the man, who quickly clarified, “Officer, Miss, I’m a good person, not a human trafficker!”
