Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets

Chapter 1060: Chapter 1060: Where Did She Go?

The cries of the children, the shouts of the women, the questioning voices of those men, Zhao Xiangyang’s rebuttals, whispers among the crowd—all kinds of sounds mixing together, causing chaos in the crowded alley.

"You are traffickers, come with us to the police station. I want to expose your true identity."

The man shouted loudly, reaching out to grab Zhao Xiangyang and Tang Yue.

Wu Xin stepped forward, shielding Tang Yue behind him and reaching to pull Zhao Xiangyang.

The man swiftly grabbed Zhao Xiangyang, who was startled, loudly exclaiming, "Let go of me, what are you doing?"

"To the police station. If you don’t dare to go there, you must be traffickers. Everyone, let’s help catch them. Don’t let them harm our children." The man’s voice was exceptionally loud, and his shout drew the uninformed crowd closer.

Human traffickers are the most hated, ruining not just a family, but a child’s life, also affecting one or even multiple families’ lives.

As a result, the alley erupted instantly.

Seeing the situation turn unfavorable, Tang Yue already took out her phone to call the police, but the voices she and Zhao Xiangyang made were faint. Even if they yelled to report and go to the police station, such small sounds were overshadowed by the loud voices of several men. The crowd kept squeezing in, and Tang Yue dared not be brave, standing behind Wu Xin.

Wu Xin and those men had already started fighting, making the crowd even more chaotic.

Zhao Xiangyang had no martial skills, only able to lean against the wall, her face pale.

"Xiangyang, don’t move around." Tang Yue advised, as Wu Xin was handling several men alone and Tang Yue wasn’t at ease. If any slipped past to find them, Tang Yue would not be lenient.

"Sister Xiao Yue, I, I..."

Zhao Xiangyang wanted to say she wasn’t afraid, but her legs were trembling so much she couldn’t complete a single sentence.

The scene was in turmoil; people watched the fight break out and were bewildered, not knowing what was happening.

"Sister Xiao Yue."

Suddenly, Zhao Xiangyang shouted, causing Wu Xin to turn his head to look.

It was a shock when he looked around—where was Tang Yue?

The person was gone?

"Sister Xiao Yue."

Zhao Xiangyang hurried forward. As it turned out, Tang Yue and the man had ended up inside a shop. Somehow, in a blink, the person was gone.

"Don’t leave; you all look so pretty. How can you be human traffickers?" someone pulled Zhao Xiangyang.

Zhao Xiangyang shouted, "You’ve got it wrong. I’m from Zhaojia Village too. How could I be a trafficker?"

Zhao Xiangyang was furious. Although Zhaojia Village was just a village, it had many people, including many who had moved in from elsewhere. Especially this area, which was unfamiliar to Zhao Xiangyang. Suddenly she spotted a familiar face and said, "Aunt Liu, I’m Xiangyang."

Zhao Xiangyang was like seeing a savior. Most of the people who had come out were tourists, and the young faces of locals were unrecognizable to Zhao Xiangyang. Now she finally saw a familiar person. Aunt Liu explained, but people were still skeptical. After all, who said locals couldn’t be traffickers?

"Sister Xiao Yue is my friend. She’s a fashion designer. How could she possibly be a trafficker? They made a mistake." Zhao Xiangyang briefly explained the situation.

"Of course, I can guarantee with my life that I’m from Zhaojia Village. Aunt Liu knows where my home is, and she was once the top scorer in Jiang Province, graduated from Jinghua University. How could such an excellent person do such a thing?" Zhao Xiangyang didn’t know what else to say, only trying her best to explain.

Upon hearing she’s a fashion designer and a top scorer, everyone realized there was a misunderstanding.

"I said so, didn’t I? Such a pretty girl, how could she be a trafficker?"

"Hey, where’s that pretty girl?"

Once everyone realized it was a mistake, where was Tang Yue’s trace?

"Wu Xin, stop fighting, Sister Xiao Yue is gone." Zhao Xiangyang shouted in panic, searching everywhere, but where was Tang Yue’s shadow?

It’s over, it’s over. She kindly escorted Sister Xiao Yue around the village, yet how could she lose her?

Zhao Xiangyang was frantic, her legs weak, muttering, "It’s all my fault."

Wu Xin couldn’t see Tang Yue, so he struck harder, delivering a kick so fierce it left the person powerless.

"Where’s the person?" Wu Xin grabbed Zhao Xiangyang to question.

"I, I last saw Sister Xiao Yue right here." Zhao Xiangyang explained, as it was indeed chaotic at the time.

Wu Xin charged in the direction Zhao Xiangyang indicated. It was a calligraphy store where many were selecting calligraphies. When Wu Xin entered, he overheard many people discussing things and pursued in the direction of their chatter.

Wu Xinming stood not far away, observing clearly but not daring to approach, just watching like a spectator. When Tang Yue was taken, Wu Xinming instinctively followed, although he did so discreetly.

Wu Xin tracked the footprints along the way.

This was a planned kidnapping. From the crying little girl to one incident after another, she truly didn’t foresee encountering trouble in a small village after being safe in Su City.

The other side was premeditated, but Wu Xin wasn’t easy to deal with either. Following the clues, he quickly got on the trail.

Zhao Xiangyang started looking for the little girl and woman, but upon looking, they were nowhere to be found, leaving Zhao Xiangyang extremely anxious. She took out her phone to call home, asking her parents for help.

Mr. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao were alarmed upon hearing a person was missing. They mobilized the Zhao Family to start searching, along with those who had witnessed before, realizing their misunderstanding of Tang Yue, now causing her capture, everyone began actively searching.

Zhaojia Village isn’t small, just full of twisty alleys. If one isn’t local, they might get dizzy navigating them, compounded by many tourists further complicating the search.

An hour later, there was no trace of Tang Yue, nor did Wu Xin return, Zhao Xiangyang’s heart sank bit by bit. What to do, what to do?

Unable to bear it, Zhao Xiangyang ultimately, afraid of delaying matters, called Zhao Xiangqian.

At the company, Zhao Xiangqian received Zhao Xiangyang’s call and thought he had misheard because of his ears. Disbelievingly, he questioned, "What? Xiangyang, you must be mistaken, right?"

"Brother, how could I joke about this?" Zhao Xiangyang was anxious, hurriedly explaining the situation and asking, "Wu Xin went to find someone, but it’s been an hour without him returning. I’m worried there might be an accident. Brother, it’s all my fault."

Zhao Xiangyang’s voice choked several times. If, if Tang Yue experiences an accident... Zhao Xiangyang didn’t dare think further.
