Chapter 187: Scared
"What did you talk about him?" asked Officer Wang.
"I told him that when the rainy season came, all the work in the orchard would be stopped, and that there would be no need for so many workers, and I told him to go down to the mountains and find another job. Chen Gong replied.
"Did you ask him to come down that night? Did you pay him?"
"No payroll, oh? It's only been a few days since last month's paycheck. I didn't ask him to come down that night, he did so after I left the orchard. Chen Gong replied.
"You called me at noon the next day, why did you say that your wife A-Ying wanted to inquire about Lu Yao's situation?" asked Director Lin.
"I just want to make sure that Lu Yao has not come down the mountain, so that I can adjust the workers in the orchard. My wife has always been in charge of the orchard, and I am usually very busy at work, and I don't have time to ask about things in the orchard, you all know. Chen Gong replied in a flash.
"Please answer my question directly!" Director Lin said sharply.
"It's the rainy season, when I was communicating with A-Ying, she asked me about Lu Yao, and I thought that he would go down the mountain in the middle of the night, which would definitely attract the attention of the joint defense team members patrolling the village, so I called you to ask you. Chen Gong replied.
"We will check with A-Ying about this issue. When you know that Lu Yao sent medicine and wine to your father-in-law, did you call your father-in-law and ask your father-in-law's family about Lu Yao's delivery of medicine and wine?"
"No, I'm not interested in these things. Once Lu Yao leaves the orchard, he has nothing to do with me. Chen Gong replied.
"In the past few days, have anyone else asked you about Lu Yao's situation?" asked Officer Wang.
"Nope. Chen Gong replied.
"Where do you think Lu Yao will go?" asked Officer Wang.
"I don't know, it's his freedom to go wherever he wants, and it has nothing to do with me. Chen Gong replied.
"Is there anything else you would like to add?" asked Officer Wang.
"No, I've said everything I know. Chen Gong replied.
"Now you can leave, but in the meantime, you must keep the communication open, we may talk to you at any time, and we hope that you will cooperate. Officer Wang said.
"Definitely, cooperating with the police in handling cases is the duty of every citizen, I understand. Chen Gong said.
Next, Ah Ying, Ning Hao, Wu Jingsheng, as well as Zeng Da and Zeng's two brothers, all cooperated with Director Lin and Officer Wang to investigate and question, and left the police room together.
When they came to the road, A-Ying said: "Big cousin, Brother Ning Hao, it's been the rainy season recently, and it's very inconvenient for you to live in the mountains, so you can stay in my house during this period?"
"Boss, we are a few old men, it's not suitable to live in your house, let's go up the mountain with our two cousins. Wu Jingsheng said.
"There's nothing wrong with it, we're all our own people. My children and I have moved back to my uncle's house, and Ah Xin lives alone in this house for the time being. Usually he is very busy with work and rarely comes back to live, so you can live here, and I will arrange for my two cousins to cook for you. A-Ying said.
At present, the most urgent task is to find Lu Yao, and it is really inconvenient to live in the mountains, and it takes two or three hours to go up and down the mountain, which is too much time. Let's go, let's go back to the proprietress's house!" Ning Hao finished speaking, raised his hand and tightened his raincoat and hat, took a big stride, and walked straight towards A-Ying's house.
They entered the living room and saw that Zeng Youliang and Chen Gong had returned. Zeng Youliang sat on the sofa with a dark face, while Chen Gong stood opposite the coffee table, drooping his head as if he was being reprimanded by Zeng Youliang.
"Are you all back, sit down! Are you Lu Yao's eldest cousin Wu Jingsheng? Are you Ning Hao?" Zeng Youliang stood up, walked to the middle of the living room, stretched out his big hand to shake hands with Wu Jingsheng and Ning Hao respectively, and then let them sit down on the sofa.
"Boss Zeng, Boss Zeng, Second Boss Zeng is also here, sit down. Yingzi, make tea!" Zeng Youliang shouted.
After everyone drank two cups of tea, Zeng Youliang said again: "Until now, we have not received any news about Lu Yao. In this case, according to the usual saying, no news is good news, but my heart is as anxious as you are. Of course, it's useless to be in a hurry, we have to find a way to find Lu Yao as soon as possible.
You went to the police office just now to file a case, and I believe that with the help of the police, it will be easier to find Lu Yao. But we can't put all our hopes on the police, we all have to work together to find Lu Yao. Before you come back, I've already scolded Ah Xin. Lu Yao's departure this time has a direct relationship with him, he just has thousands of reasons, and he can't shirk responsibility!
As I said just now, if I can find Lu Yao smoothly and be sure that Lu Yao is safe, I can not blame the past. If something really happens to Lu Yao, Ah Xin must be fully responsible! I will solemnly state to you now, Ah Ying and I will definitely not favor him!
During the period of looking for Lu Yao, Boss Zeng was here to take charge of the lives of Wu Jingsheng and Ning Hao. All expenses for your outing, as well as your labor costs during this period, will be borne by us. If you need to use a car, you can arrange it with Yingzi at any time, and I will also send you a car to wait outside the gate at any time. I am personally responsible for all the logistics work, including helping you apply for border permits, so you can go to Lu Yao with peace of mind!"
"Big boss, you have arranged it very carefully, and Ning Hao and I have nothing to say. Today is the seventh day, and although each of us hopes that Lu Yao is safe and sound, we also know in our hearts that the longer the time drags on, the lower the probability that Lu Yao will come back safely. In the past two days, Ning Hao and I have not thought about tea and dinner, and it is difficult to sleep and eat. Lu Yao was called out by me in a letter, and he has not been heard from now, how can I go back and explain to his family?" Wu Jingsheng choked up.
He raised his right hand to wipe away a handful of tears, and continued: "I decided to look for another day, and if I still can't find anyone, tomorrow I will go back to my hometown and report to his family." At that time, Lu Yao's family may have to come over, I hope you must arrange it. ”
"You can rest assured that we will arrange it, and we will bear all the costs. Yingzi, Wu Jingsheng is going back to his hometown tomorrow, you must have paid enough for the car and travel expenses, and you can't let Lu Yao's family suffer on the road, you know?" Zeng Youliang said with red eyes.
"Got it, I'll arrange it. A-Ying replied, wiping away her tears.
"I hope there is good news today, otherwise, hum!" Ning Hao glared at Chen Gong hatefully, and raised his casserole-sized fist at him, which scared Chen Gong for a moment.
