Chapter 150 : The Dragon Son-in-Law
“We have registered the child’s information here. Once we have any updates, we will send someone to notify you immediately.”
In the interrogation room, faced with irrefutable evidence, Wu Jinfeng finally confessed.
“At first, I just couldn’t stand Song Miao. Why does her child get better grades than ours, and why is her husband more capable than mine?”
“I just thought, it would be great if her child disappeared one day.”
“One time, I was talking about this when a woman approached me on the street. She said she was in the business, and if I helped her find a place, she’d give me fifty dollars per child.”
“I was shocked at first and ignored her. But soon after, my husband made a mistake at work and lost the deputy director position. He Guoqing took over.”
At this point, Wu Jinfeng gritted her teeth and said, “It’s not my fault. It’s her fault. Song Miao was showing off in front of me all the time!”
“She permed her hair and bought me new clothes. She told me her child got first place in the grade and received a big bonus for the New Year! I got angry just hearing that!”
“When that woman came to me again, I somehow agreed.”
“After it was done, the couple cried all day and no longer had their arrogant attitude. It made me feel happy to see that.”
“It doesn’t matter whether it’s for money or not. But if I provide a few clues, I can earn several months’ salary, so I did a few jobs. Sometimes I brought them things and helped buy train tickets.”
“Comrade Public Security, that’s all I did. I didn’t abduct the child. I only played a small role at most.”
The female police officer taking the statement couldn’t help but say, “You are so shameless! Your face is thicker than my heels!”
Wu Jinfeng folded her arms and sneered, “Who are you talking to? My husband works for the Railway Bureau. If I want to go out, it’ll only take a few minutes.”
Liu Chaoying brought the topic back to the case, “How many clues have you provided over the past three years? Where are the children from? What are their names and addresses?”
Wu Jinfeng glared at the female officer and said, “Comrade Police Officer, I’m hungry. When is dinner? Even if I’m a prisoner, I’m entitled to a meal, right? Also, get this woman away from me. I feel uncomfortable just looking at her. If I don’t feel well, I can’t talk.”
Liu Chaoying and her colleagues exchanged looks and said, “Wait.”
Li Sainan came out of the interrogation room angrily, saying, “Shameless! I’ve never seen anyone with such a bad heart.”
“The parents of the abducted children are extremely worried, and yet she’s begging for food as if she’s at home!”
Liu Chaoying sighed, “This woman is so fearless because she has someone behind her. Her father is influential. Maybe it’s true what she said , she could walk out of here scot-free.”
Behind the glass, Chen Weiming answered the phone in his office with a serious expression.
“Yes!”
“Yes! The suspect in the trafficking case is currently detained here…”
“What? Transfer?” Chen Weiming refused on the spot, and an angry voice came from the other end of the line.
“Chen Weiming, no one can tell you what to do now, right? Do you want me to ask your superior to call you?”
Chen Weiming frowned, “Impossible. The suspect cannot be transferred before the case is thoroughly investigated. If my superior knew, he’d actually commend me for doing a good job!”
With a thud, Chen Weiming hung up the phone, sat down helplessly, and sighed deeply.
The superiors were pressuring him to release Wu Jinfeng.
It was obvious that Wu Jinfeng knew this and was deliberately stalling with her confident attitude.
No, he couldn’t just sit there and wait.
After thinking for a while, he called a journalist he knew, “Reporter Chang, hello, I have a case here. Are you interested?”
Late at night, Zhang Jianye and his wife returned home, supporting each other. The person guarding the door turned around , it was He Guoqing.
He was wearing half-broken glasses, and his face was full of guilt. “Old Zhang!”
“Believe it or not, I really didn’t know about this.”
“Wu Jinfeng and I don’t have a good relationship. She keeps everything she does secret from me. I really don’t know anything about it!”
Zhang Jianye didn’t respond. Their daughter was still missing, neither alive nor dead, but the couple had survived these three hopeless years.
Now that he had a clue, it seemed to have given him infinite courage. He was determined to find the child.
“He Guoqing, if you really feel sorry for us, go tell Wu Jinfeng and ask her to speak up as soon as possible. Tell us where the child is and confess her crimes.”
When Song Miao thought about his daughter suffering somewhere, his heart felt like it was on fire.
His child had been 14 years old when she was abducted. One could only imagine what would happen to a half-grown girl once she was sold. He could only pray that it wouldn’t be the worst.
“Okay, I’ll go and tell you.”
The next day, He Guoqing asked for leave and was about to go to the police station when his father-in-law called him away.
This was not the first time He Guoqing had come to this military compound. He would always remember that he was a poor boy from the mountains, who went to the Workers, Peasants, and Soldiers University and was favored by Wu Jinfeng.
Thanks to his father-in-law’s relationship, he had been able to rise through the ranks with few obstacles.
He was grateful to his father-in-law for his support and kindness, so even though he had many conflicts with Wu Jinfeng, he had tried his best to be tolerant.
But after so many years, he had had enough.
His father-in-law and mother-in-law sat in front of him. His well-maintained mother-in-law looked unhappy, “Guoqing, you haven’t been to see Xiaofeng at the station for so many days. Xiaofeng has been spoiled by us, but she would never do such a thing for a few dollars. You have to believe her.”
He Guoqing remained silent for a long time before speaking, “She’s not doing it for money. She just can’t stand someone dominating her.”
“Guoqing, how can you talk like that? Don’t forget who helped you get to where you are today.”
Wu Qun took a sip of tea and said slowly, “Don’t mention the past. Guoqing is a good boy, he knows it in his heart.”
“National Day, this matter will be resolved in two days. Don’t worry, you and Xiaofeng will live a good life in the future.”
“I want a divorce.”
“What did you say?” Mrs. Wu opened her eyes wide and slammed the teacup heavily on the table.
He Guoqing raised his eyes and said more loudly, “I want a divorce! I’ve had enough!”
Wu Qun suppressed his dissatisfaction and warned everyone with his words, “Guoqing, you need to think this through carefully. Now is the critical moment in the competition for the directorship. Without our Wu family, do you think you can compete with others?
You said you could rely on yourself, but in the end, you couldn’t even be promoted to deputy director. Do you think you have come this far by yourself? Naive!
If you have no background and no connections, you will never succeed no matter how outstanding you are. I will only be played around by those old hands, working myself to death and not getting any benefits!”
After saying that, he slowed his tone, “Guoqing, if there’s anything wrong with Xiaofeng, I will discipline her when she comes out. You’ve been married for so many years, and Zhaoying is still here. You should at least have some affection for each other. There’s no need to be so ruthless!”
