Su Minjian spat with rage: "Slowly tell? He stole my sister’s child! Find that damn bastard for me!"
Zhao Yingjun also clenched his fists, and said viciously: "If he returns the child now, that’s fine. But if he dares not to return the child, I’ll fight him to the death!"
These two usually bully Wang Shufen like tigers, but at this moment they were suddenly frightened and shivering, unable to cope.
Mrs. Ding trembled and said, "We don’t know, Ding Quan is not here, just checked his room, he’s not home."
These two can’t control their son normally, knowing he often gambles, so when they found out he was missing, they didn’t care.
Of course, Su Minjian didn’t believe it, so he rushed in to search, even checked the bathroom, but didn’t see anyone.
Sun Chan glanced around and, not seeing any cotton, said: "He might not have returned."
Gu Junming thought for a moment, then turned and left.
Su Minjian hurriedly followed: "Where are you going?"
"To those gamblers’ homes. Aside from gambling, he has nothing good going on."
The crowd found several gamblers, and one of them was intimidated by Gu Junming and revealed that someone wanted the child. The Su Family heard this and it felt like a thunderbolt!
"I’m afraid by now, he must’ve sold the child." Gu Junming’s face darkened: "Initially he came to our house, not to try to get my sister to remarry, but likely intending to sell the child!"
Zhao Yingjun and Sun Min cursed again, but when they went to the place where the child was sold, they found the big iron gate locked, and the people had left. It was Sun Chan who found tire tracks on the ground.
"It seems this family has a car. After getting the child, they fled overnight. As for Ding Quan, he probably slipped away with the money to hide." Sun Chan frowned.
Zhao Yingjun managed to stand still, but Su Minjian was already close to collapsing. He was anxious and stressed, cold and exhausted, being old made it worse.
Gu Junming supported Su Minjian: "Village head, don’t worry for now. The child has likely been bought by a wealthy family, so they’re safe for now. Besides, we don’t have a car, can’t chase after them. It’s better to go back and rest. I promise to help you get the child back."
"Gu Junming..." Su Minjian looked at him with embarrassment.
Honestly, when Gu Junming joined the army, he never cared for the Wang Family, cut back on the homestead, and often made things difficult when the village asked for money or materials, or when voluntary labor was needed. Now with this, Su Minjian felt terrible shame.
Gu Junming said: "The nation’s cracking down on child trafficking now. As a soldier, I definitely won’t ignore such behavior! No matter whose problem it is, I have to act, and I’ll report this to the higher-ups. Rest assured, now’s just before Spring Festival, the crackdown is severe, we won’t let off this bastard Ding Quan!"
Though Zhao Yingjun was anxious, he knew nothing could be done now, and he also persuaded Su Minjian to return.
"This evening there’s not even a car, we can’t walk to chase them, let’s head back. Brother, your health is important." Zhao Yingjun regretted so much, had he known, he would never have come to the village, losing his son!
Gu Junming and Sun Chan escorted them back, the atmosphere was heavy, the snow underfoot crunching loudly.
Gu Junming said: "We need to find Ding Quan first, does he have relatives?"
"He was your ex-brother-in-law. Don’t you know?" Su Minjian asked, then realized his tone was inappropriate, coughed a few times, and added: "That guy has many dubious friends, can’t necessarily find relatives."
Gu Junming didn’t mind it, since his own family lost a child, he was also anxious.
