One Birth Two Treasures: The Billionaire's Sweet Love Novel - Chapter 2741
Chapter 2741: It does not help.
Meanwhile, another twenty-four hours passed, yet Chu He still had not heard any news about her son, so she started growing anxious.
Even though Mu Yancheng might have his ways and means, it took time to find a person, after all.
Once the policewoman gave the man the license plate number, the latter immediately dispatched his subordinates to locate the vehicle.
The man himself could not personally lead the search due to his pregnant girlfriend; naturally, he wanted to stay behind and look after her in the hospital. Chu He moved to follow along at first but was stopped by her friend. Meng Qingxue reminded her that it might not be worth the loss if the mother herself got in danger. As such, it would be better if only her boyfriend’s men went to search for the kidnappers and the car, bringing back the boy.
Even though the lady cop was ill at ease with the decision, she had no other way except to force herself into staying calm as she waited for their news.
Indeed.
The truth was that it would not help if she had tagged along.
If they were to encounter some problems, it would be counterproductive, especially if she could not synchronize her actions with the rest of the team.
Hence, she ended up staying in the hospital to await news of her son patiently.
Her friend was more anxious than her, though.
Meng Qingxue liked Baby Chu and she attributed the greatest blame on herself for his disappearance.
Even though the boy’s mother had repeatedly reassured her that his abduction had nothing to do with her, she thought otherwise.
In her mind, the boy was implicated because of her.
Hence, the pregnant woman was even more apprehensive. She did not know what to do in the event that they could not locate the child; she really did not know how she could atone for her sin then.
Just as she was in a state of panic, Mu Yancheng finally received news from his men at 3:10 in the morning. They found the target vehicle parked outside a small underground gambling den in Tong’an County, Yishan Town.
“A gambling den?”
“Yes!”
“Are you sure it’s a van?”
“It’s a Baojun 730 MPV with a matching car plate. This should be the vehicle you’re looking for!”
The Mu head instructed sans expression, “Bring those people back. As for the boy, be sure to take good care of him. Understood?”
“Understood!”
…
Yishan Town was a big city next to the capital. Despite its size, the economy was lagging due to its geographical location.
The nation had wanted to support the city’s growth. Alas, it was surrounded by mountains and limited its potential as an industrial city, so nowadays, this place still mainly relied on agriculture. Many young men and women from the town went to the capital to work after graduating from school.
Tong’an County was a relatively well-developed county in Yishan Town.
When Mu Yancheng’s men rushed to the place, they could see the Baojun van, bearing the plate Black A87B9L, parked quietly outside the entrance.
The two men who drove this vehicle, one named Luo Qing and the other Luo Hao, were born and bred in Yishan Town; they came from the Luo Village.
Two years ago, they followed the rest of the county men to work in the capital. Initially, both would send some money home at the end of each year. However, as the days grew longer, they gradually caught some bad habits, such as gambling and ‘skating’, in the prosperous metropolis.
Of course, the word ‘skating’ was slang for taking drugs. They dabbled in all kinds of vices—gambling, gluttony, or sleeping with hookers, and there was nothing they had not tried.
Their savings were depleted progressively and the money they earned was no longer sufficient for them to pay their debts. In the end, they were forced to take on illegal assignments.
By far, this assignment on Meng Qingxue was their biggest one to date.
