Chapter 207 - 207 No Excuse
207 No Excuse
“At that time, Li Hongmei said that someone was watching our children and waiting for an opportunity to make a move,” Grandma explained the reason why she had left with her. “But if I go with her, then those people won’t be watching the children anymore.”
“So, Grandmother, you left with Li Hongmei just like that?” Shi Yaoqing was speechless. “If someone was really watching our child and you told us, wouldn’t we have called the police? Why did you have to go with her?”
Grandmother shook her head and said, “No, I don’t regret leaving with her. After I got into the car with her, I found out that Liu Tiancheng really wanted to do something to the children. He saw me, an old woman, and he was furious with Li Hongmei.”
“No, Grandma, do you mean that Li Hongmei is in cahoots with Liu Tiancheng?” Shi Yaoqing said in surprise, “How did Li Hongmei get together with Liu Tiancheng? She even dared to participate in the kidnapping?”
Grandmother shook her head and said, “I don’t know how Li Hongmei got together with Liu Tiancheng. It’s just that when they were arguing, I heard Li Hongmei begging Liu Tiancheng to let her go.”
“From what they said, Liu Tiancheng and his men seemed to have captured quite a number of women. He said that she had to be obedient, or else she would end up like the women in the cage. At that time, Li Hongmei was so frightened that her entire body went limp. Her face was as pale as a piece of white paper, and she looked especially ugly!”
“Women in cages?” Eldest Uncle frowned and asked in confusion, “What do they mean? Could it be that they kidnapped many women?”
Shi Hangyu said, “That’s very likely! You have to know that Sister suspected Liu Tiancheng back then. Now, we can further confirm her guess!”
Second Uncle asked curiously, “Where are those women locked up? Could it be in Pingyang County?”
“That’s very likely! Li Hongmei has only known Liu Tiancheng for a short period of time. She can usually be seen returning to the village,” Third Uncle said. “It’s just that someone often saw a black car waiting at the village entrance. Then, they saw Li Hongmei get into that car.”
“Tsk tsk, Li Hongmei was simply courting death! I think Shi Bangqing treats her quite well. He even let her manage all the money he earns from his work.” Third Uncle mocked, “But she doesn’t know how to cherish it. Now, she’s eating free food from the country.”
“There’s something wrong with this woman’s style.” Grandma snorted. “She’s vain and greedy!”
When Grandpa heard about the old woman’s dangerous experience, he said worriedly and angrily, “Old woman, you too. Since Li Hongmei threatened you, can’t you contact us? If Mingming hadn’t happened to find out and subdued the kidnapper with another person, we really wouldn’t dare to imagine the consequences!”
When Grandpa heard that his grandmother had been kidnapped, he felt a lingering fear.
If this happened again, he couldn’t guarantee that his heart would be able to take it.
Grandma also had lingering fears about her own experiences.
She said, “When Li Hongmei threatened me to go out, my phone was confiscated. Before I left the village, she kept warning me not to speak nonsense because my every move was monitored. If I didn’t follow her, the children would be in danger.”
If she had to do it all over again, she would still do it.
Grandma sighed softly. “It’s just that I didn’t expect them to be so bold as to kidnap someone in public!”
She followed Li Hongmei out of the village. After getting into the car, her mouth was gagged and her hands and feet were tied. She could not speak or move.
“These deranged people are willing to do anything for money.”
“I thought that Boss Liu was really a watermelon vendor. I didn’t expect him to collect targets everywhere under the pretext of buying watermelons. It’s really terrifying!”
“Fortunately, such a terrifying person was caught today.” Shi Yaoqing heaved a sigh of relief. “Otherwise, if we continue to indulge him, how many people will be hurt!”
“Mingming, how did you discover that Grandma was in their car?” Shi Hangyu looked at Gu Qingming in confusion. “I remember that you drove to the county city, right?”
Gu Qingming drove to the county city first. After her grandmother was kidnapped, her grandmother’s phone was confiscated. Where did Gu Qingjing get the news?
Everyone looked at Gu Qingming in unison.
Being stared at by everyone, Gu Qingming smiled and said, “Yes, before Liu Tiancheng kidnapped Grandma, he called me to extort money!”
This excuse was a little untenable.
Because there was no unfamiliar caller ID on her phone at that time.
However, she could not tell the truth and say that the little fairy had discovered it.
When Grandma heard this, she immediately asked suspiciously, “Ming’er, is what you said true? But why didn’t you say anything at the police station?”
Gu Qingming spread her hands and said embarrassedly, “Alright, I’ll tell the truth.”
Then, she said with a serious expression, “It was my sixth sense. At that time, I had already arrived at the county city and suddenly panicked. I immediately drove my car back. After that, I almost collided with the cars of Liu Tiancheng and the others. I didn’t expect that. By accident, I found out that those people had kidnapped Grandma.”
This was not a good excuse, but it was the best excuse she could find.
“My instincts have always been accurate. Just like that time when Wenwen was kidnapped. I suddenly had a premonition that Wenwen might need me to rescue her. Otherwise, she would be in danger.”
Gu Qingming said, “At that time, if I hadn’t arrived in time, something might have really happened to Wenwen. This time, I didn’t know that my grandmother had been kidnapped, but my heart told me that something must have happened to someone, so I drove back.
“I’m really glad that my intuition is accurate. Otherwise, I don’t know what those vicious people would have done.”
As she spoke, Gu Qingming looked at her grandmother and said guiltily, “Speaking of which, I was the one who implicated her and got her kidnapped. Grandma, I’m sorry!”
Grandma’s heart immediately ached. She hugged Gu Qingming and comforted her. “Child, it’s not your fault. You don’t have to feel guilty or blame yourself. We’re family. I’m very glad that I was the one who was kidnapped. This way, you can come and save me, right?”
As soon as her grandmother finished speaking, everyone reacted and comforted Gu Qingming.
“Mingming, Grandma’s kidnapping really has nothing to do with you. It was just an accident. Besides, didn’t you save Grandma? She’s fine.”
“That’s right. We should be glad that you weren’t the one who was kidnapped. If it were you, without your sixth intuition, where would we find you?”
“Mingming, we’re family. Your grandmother was kidnapped by accident. Now, aren’t those bad people arrested? Then they’ll definitely be severely punished. Hmph, good and evil will eventually be repaid.”
