1637 Feeling That Something Is Wrong
These men dropped Xia Yan and Xia Lu off at a random bus stop and then left. Whatever happened next had nothing to do with the two brothers anymore. They had completed their task successfully.
“Younger Brother, let’s inform the family members to go and pay for the release of the two children. The earlier this matter ends, the earlier we can get the money!” Xia Lu said.
“Right! Let’s go home and call them now!” Xia Yan said happily.
Once he received the money, he could continue gambling! Such a big amount of money would be enough for him to gamble for a long time! At this moment, he only hated the fact that Xia Zhe was the only one from the Xia family’s first son’s family who had children. If Xia Wen and Xia He also had children, he could get even more money!
It was soon noon and everyone was waiting for Liu Fen to be back for lunch. However, Xu Lan did not see Liu Fen yet. She stood at the door and waited. By right, Liu Fen should be back by now.
“Madam, what’s wrong? You’ll catch a chill if you stand here. You haven’t recovered yet,” Wan Wen said worriedly.
“What time did Liu Fen go out? Why isn’t she back yet?” Xu Lan asked.
“Probably about seven or eight in the morning. The second madam brought the children out. She said that she was going to the mall to buy some milk powder because the children had finished all of it,” Wan Wen said after recalling carefully.
Xu Lan felt that something was wrong and immediately grabbed Wan Wen’s arm and said, “Quick! Call Zou Ming! Tell him to search for Liu Fen immediately!”
A group of the Xia family’s guard team was with Xia Mao, a group went with Luo Yu to investigate the matter regarding Li Gui, and a group was at Qiao Mei’s house to ensure the safety of the occupants. There was no one in the house to help her at the moment.
Wan Wen hurriedly ran back into the house and made a call to Zou Ming. He immediately mobilized his police officers to go out and look for Liu Fen. Using the information which Wan Wen provided, it did not take long for them to find Liu Fen lying unconscious on the ground.
Zou Ming first brought Liu Fen to Xia Fang’s hospital. He asked the police officers to help take care of Liu Fen and he immediately ran upstairs to look for Xia Wen and the others. He knew about the Xia family’s recent situation and had even come by to visit Li Gui and Qiao Mei not long ago.
“Eh? Zou Ming, why are you here? Are you on leave today?” Xia He bumped into Zou Ming at the door of the bathroom with the washbasin in her arms.
Zou Ming could not be bothered to explain to Xia He. He simply grabbed her and ran forward. As they ran, he asked, “Where’s Xia Wen! Bring me to Xia Wen! There’s an urgent matter!”
“The last ward room in front!” Xia He said.
The two of them rushed back to the ward. Xia Wen was currently reading documents in the living room. He had fallen behind on his work in order to take care of Li Gui and Qiao Mei, so his secretary had sent all the work documents to the hospital.
Zou Ming panted heavily as he said to Xia Wen, “Quick! Go and get your father to search the entire city! Liu Fen has been drugged and is downstairs now! When I reached the crime scene, there was a double pram next to her. Xia Fan and Xia Xing were not there. They must have been kidnapped!”
“What!” Xia Wen and Xia He shouted out as they looked at Zou Ming in shock.
“Don’t just stand there! Go look for the children! Ask your father to get people to search for them! My men are all outside looking for them now! But I don’t have enough manpower!” Zou Ming said anxiously.
There had been many cases of missing children in the capital recently, causing everyone to be in a state of panic. The police station at which he was stationed already had 4 reported cases. There must be a group of criminals involved in this.
He did not know if it was also this group which kidnapped Xia Fan and Xia Xing, but he had to check it out. It was better than not doing anything. If the matter today was done by the human traffickers, they definitely had not left the capital yet, They would only leave after the situation had died down.
Xia Wen immediately picked up the phone and called Xia Mao. When the call went through, he did not really know what to say. He only knew that Xia Fan and Xia Xing were missing, but he did not even know where they were taken or when they had gone missing.
Zou Ming snatched the phone receiver and said, “Hello, Uncle. I’m Zou Ming. The children went missing in Victory Garden opposite the mall. We found Liu Fen at around 12 noon. The children were probably taken not more than two hours before that. That group of people must still be in the capital.”
“Alright! I understand. Contact me anytime if there are any new clues.” After saying that, Xia Mao hung up the phone and made arrangements for his subordinates to search for Xia Fan and Xia Xing.
