Chapter 604 Recruiting the Team
Wei Guoqing sat in the driver's seat with full concentration, his expression solemn and meticulous, his eyes fixed on the road ahead.
With his hands steady and powerful, he controlled the steering wheel. Under his skillful driving, the police car sped along the road like a roaring cheetah.
The wheels rubbed against the ground violently, making a sharp hissing sound that blended with the whistling wind.
It seemed to form a tense and rapid melody, echoing in the silent night sky, as breathtaking as the sound of wind and cranes.
Soon, the police car arrived at the Huashengyuan residential complex like a flash of black lightning. With a sharp brake sound, the car came to a steady stop.
Wei Guoqing unbuckled his seat belt skillfully and quickly opened the car door and jumped out.
As soon as his feet touched the ground, he couldn't wait to take out his cell phone from his pocket and dialed the familiar number with his fingers flying.
The moment the call was connected, he said eagerly and clearly: "Captain Xing, we're here."
On the other end of the phone, Xing Zhongxing spoke concisely, his voice revealing an unquestionable authority: "Come to the monitoring room immediately."
"Yes, Captain Xing." Wei Guoqing hung up the phone without hesitation, turned around and walked a few steps closer to Zhou Li, his tone urging: "Captain Xing is in the monitoring room, hurry up."
Zhou Li was helpless and looked at Wei Guoqing with a look of worry and helplessness in his eyes.
In the end, he gritted his teeth and walked towards the floor where the monitoring room was located.
Time seemed to pass exceptionally quickly in the tense atmosphere, and in a blink of an eye, the two arrived at the door of the monitoring room.
Xing Zhongxing looked solemn and serious, like a general about to go to the battlefield.
He held a cigarette in his hand, the butt of which was flickering a faint red light, and he was sucking on it feebly.
Wisps of smoke slowly emerged from his mouth, swirling and rising in the dim light, making his tired face look even more haggard.
Seeing this, Wei Guoqing shouted, "Captain Xing."
Zhou Li was extremely anxious. He trotted forward, his voice distorted with anxiety: "Captain Xing, where is my daughter?"
Xing Zhongxing slowly raised his head, his eyes filled with fatigue and anxiety, and said slowly: "When we arrived, the room was empty."
"No one?" Zhou Li widened his eyes, his face full of surprise, as if he had heard some unbelievable news.
Xing Zhongxing nodded gravely, staring at Zhou Li, and said, "Go in immediately.
Point out Al Robuk from the surveillance footage. Only in this way can we locate him as quickly as possible and rescue your daughter."
Zhou Li didn't dare to delay for even a moment and quickly walked into the monitoring room. His eyes were fixed on the monitor in front of him, filled with anxiety and anticipation.
The images flashed before his eyes rapidly, and every second seemed like torture. Soon, he found the target entering and leaving the community gate in the complex images.
He pointed at the white car and said loudly, "That's him. How come he didn't see my daughter? You guys were in the room, didn't you really find my daughter?"
Xing Zhongxing stood behind him and responded in a low voice: "No."
When Zhou Li heard this, his heart tightened. Without thinking, he turned around and rushed towards the door, intending to go out and look for his daughter's whereabouts immediately.
Just as he was about to step out of the door, Wei Guoqing was quick-witted and quick-handed. He took a step forward and grabbed Zhou Li's shoulders tightly with his hands like a pair of pliers.
At the same time, other police officers also reacted quickly, surrounded the door and blocked it tightly.
Seeing this, Xing Zhongxing's face darkened and he shouted harshly, "Do you know where else he could go? At this time, the only way to help your daughter is to tell the truth."
You must believe in our police's ability to detect and solve this case. We will do our utmost to rescue your daughter."
Zhou Li was stopped by everyone, and the anxiety and helplessness in his heart were like a surging tide that was difficult to suppress.
He panted heavily, hesitated for a moment, and said helplessly: "He must have gone to Longan Taikang Hotel, where the boss Jin is very rich.
The people I usually interact with are all well-known and influential people. In this area, ordinary people simply cannot afford to offend them."
When Xing Zhongxing heard the words "Longan Taikang", a complex emotion flashed across his face, an expression that was a mixture of solemnity and determination in the face of unknown challenges.
He quickly gave the order: "Retreat." After that, he turned around and strode out of the monitoring room door, each step revealing firmness and decisiveness.
Zhou Li's eyes were red as if they were about to spit out fire. He struggled desperately and shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Captain Xing, my daughter is still in his hands. Aren't you going to rescue her?"
However, Xing Zhongxing's face was as hard as steel, his lips were tightly pursed, and he did not respond to Zhou Li at all. He just hurriedly left the monitoring room.
The back revealed an unquestionable coldness and determination, as if he had already weighed the pros and cons of all actions in his mind.
Zhou Li was extremely anxious and felt his heart was filled with anxiety and fear.
Like a mad trapped beast, he twisted his body madly, trying to break free from the hands that were holding him, while screaming with tears in his eyes:
"Let me go. If you don't rescue my daughter, I'll go by myself! That devil, Al Robuk,
He has already brutally killed my wife. With his ruthless methods, he will definitely not let my daughter go!
My daughter isn't in the video, Xiaoxue...she must have been in trouble!"
At this point, Zhou Li's voice was choked with sobs, tears welled up in his eyes, and his cries were full of despair and grief.
"Let me go. I'm going to find Al Robuk and avenge my wife and daughter!"
His hands waved helplessly in the air, and each wave seemed to use up all his strength.
Faced with Zhou Li's emotions completely out of control, the people around him did not dare to relax at all. They held his arms and shoulders tightly, with such strength that it seemed as if they were going to embed into his bones.
While trying to appease Zhou Li with kind words and calm his madness, they continued to drag him towards the police car.
Zhou Li's feet stomped on the ground randomly, and the friction between the soles of his shoes made a harsh sound and splashed some dust.
In this way, several people dragged him all the way to the police car. They quickly opened the door and pushed Zhou Li into the car regardless of his struggle.
Zhou Li collapsed on the car seat, still sobbing and cursing, his hands still weakly slapping the car door.
With the roar of engines, one police car after another started slowly and left Huashengyuan Community in an orderly manner.
The wheels rolled, sweeping up the fallen leaves and dust on the ground, as if also enveloping this sudden tragedy and Zhou Li's heart full of pain and despair into the endless night.
The next morning, the bright sunshine gently shone into the warm and elegantly decorated restaurant of the Goldsmith Bay Villa.
The sunlight shines through the spacious and bright floor-to-ceiling windows, dancing and sparkling on the dining table, covering the entire space with a warm golden veil.
Shen Rou got up early and carefully prepared a sumptuous breakfast for the old lady.
At this moment, she was standing beside the old lady, serving her meal with her own hands, and every movement was meticulous.
She leaned forward slightly, her eyes focused on the old lady's needs, and asked softly, "Mom, is the porridge at the right temperature? Do you want some more side dishes?"
In the kitchen not far away, Jiang Shuo's young yet energetic figure was busy.
He stood beside Aunt Zhao like a little adult, his little face full of seriousness and concern, urging Aunt Zhao to carefully fill the thermos with red date, wolfberry and black chicken soup.
He said in a childish but serious voice, "Aunt Zhao, please add more soup. Mom is sick, and all the essence is in the soup!
"Let mom drink more so she can get better soon and come home to be with me." He looked as if he was the commander-in-chief of the whole thing.
Aunt Zhao looked at the lovely Jiang Shuo with eyes full of doting, and responded with a smile: "Okay, little master, I'll listen to you. I will definitely fill more soup and make sure Mommy has enough to drink."
Jiang Shuo seemed still uneasy, and pointed to another thermal box next to him with his little finger, and continued:
"There are also egg and red bean paste buns, and some small desserts. Mom prefers sweet things, so please give me more.
Aunt Zhao is such a great cook! Every time Mom eats these little bean buns and desserts, she's so happy all day long. Even my grandmother doesn't go out to buy them from the specialty store!
Aunt Zhao's laughing voice echoed in the kitchen, and she replied, "Really? Young Master's mouth is sweeter than honey. Look, is this enough to hold all this?"
Jiang Shuo reached out and picked up a little piggy bean bun and said, "This little piggy is so cute. Give one to mom. Mom will definitely have a great appetite when she sees the cute little piggy."
Just then, Mu Xiaoji walked into the restaurant with steady steps. He was dressed in simple yet stylish casual clothes, and although his face was a little tired, he still looked heroic.
He walked to the old lady, pulled out a chair and sat down, and said politely and caringly: "Grandma, I haven't been with you these days, are you okay?
I'm really sorry that I frightened you while you were shopping."
The old lady raised her eyes and looked at Mu Xiaoji with a loving face. She reached out and gently held his hand, and said in a kind tone:
"Silly child, grandma is fine now. I feel much better now after drinking the calming soup prepared by Choubao!"
As she was speaking, Aunt Zhao came out of the kitchen carrying the packed thermos bucket and box.
Jiang Shuo immediately ran to Mu Xiaoji with his short legs, and said in a childish voice full of anticipation: "Dad, I want to go to the hospital to see Mom. Do you want to come with me?"
Mu Xiaoji looked down at Jiang Shuo, his eyes full of love. He reached out and gently stroked his head, asking, "Jiang Shuo, are you ready?"
Jiang Shuo nodded vigorously, looked at the thermos bucket and the thermos box like a little adult and said, "It's all here.
If possible, I would like to take my mother home to recuperate. With me taking care of her, I believe she will get better soon.
Mu Xiaoji looked at his son's determined eyes and couldn't help but smile and nodded. "Okay, when we get to the hospital, we'll give Mom a thorough checkup. If there's nothing else wrong, we'll take her home to recuperate."
After that, Mu Xiaoji slowly stood up and said to the old lady, "Grandma, eat slowly. Let's go to the hospital to see Xiaoyue."
The old lady waved her hands quickly, urging, "Go quickly, grandson. I feel uneasy if I don't see Xiaoyue for a day."
Jiang Shuo also shouted loudly: "Goodbye, Grandma, Goodbye, Grandma!"
Shen Rou said with concern, "Choubao, be careful on the road and come back with daddy as soon as possible."
Mu Xiaoji picked up the prepared insulated box and bucket and walked towards the door first.
Jiang Shuo responded, "I understand," while taking small steps to follow closely behind.
