Chapter 404: Pity the Parents' Heart
Zhang Ruiming's voice sounded quite hoarse after trying his best to hide it, and even Tang Zuo didn't hear it for a while.
"Oh...... Where are you reporters? And where did you get my phone number?"
Hearing this, Zhang Ruiming had an idea and said: "We are reporters from the "Voice of the Times", and your phone number was given to us by the Public Relations Department of Quanjian...... I just wanted to do a pilot interview, may I ask...... Was the infringement case of Zhou Qiangnong v. Quanjian Group decided?
"Didn't their public relations department tell you?" Tang Zuo's sudden rhetorical question caught Zhang Ruiming off guard, he suddenly remembered that Tang Zuo was still Zhou Qiangnong's lawyer after all, and it really seemed a little strange to change his position to ask, but fortunately, Tang Zuo himself didn't study too carefully, he replied directly: "...... The verdict is down, Quan Jian won, what else is there to ask, what do you have to ask your company's legal counsel yourself. ”
Speaking of this, Tang Zuo was about to hang up the phone, Zhang Ruiming was stunned for a moment, and then continued to ask: "Oh, oh, finally ask, how is this plaintiff Zhou Qiangnong's current situation? Will he fight the second ......trial?"
Over there, Tang Zuo was too lazy to entangle, so he hung up the phone, Zhang Ruiming put down the phone, and a strong sense of frustration hit him.
Lost...... In the end, I lost.
Although this result was expected, it still gave him a headache, since Quan Jian had solved Zhou Qiangnong, then now all these problems provoked by his own investigation were like a bubble dissipated, this 10 billion scale giant, still standing in the sky above Jingang, looking down on his group of losers, and himself and Zhou Qiangnong, in front of this behemoth, are just some disturbing flies, and they can't hurt it at all.
What will happen to the Zhou family? What will happen in the future? Zhang Ruiming shook his head, what does all this have to do with himself, this case is a "war of others", and he can't even promote public interest litigation from beginning to end, and now watching the collapse of a family is also the most normal outcome.
Moreover, when Zhou Qiangnong appeared in the city inspection for the last time, the roar against Zhang Ruiming made the prosecutor who was already not good-tempered extremely angry, this lawsuit that he lost because he refused to confess, did not explain clearly his contractual relationship with Quan Jian, and the exchange of interests, if you look at it this way, the result of the judgment now is normal, not to mention, in the end, what Zhou Qiangnong actually thought about was to blame Zhang Ruiming, blame those who wanted to help him, how could this still make people sympathetic.
Although there are such and such reasons not to get involved, Zhang Ruiming still feels desolate in his heart, not only for Zhou Qiangnong, but also for his investigation these days, he wanted to sleep on the back of this car, but he couldn't rest assured, Xiao Zhouyang's propaganda photo always dangled in front of his eyes, which made him worry.
When he arrived at the door, the expectation that he was about to see his daughter made him feel better, he pressed his hand at the door and didn't push it open, but he only felt a huge force coming, the heavy wooden door of Zhang's house suddenly opened out, Zhang Ruiming was almost hit on the head, he dodged back, but he was still hit by a figure that suddenly rushed out inside.
He was hit on the chin by the top of the head, and he couldn't open his eyes at all at once, and when he looked up, the person who came was his wife Tang Shi.
"Oh yo ~ what are you doing?"
Tang Shi should have also been hit lightly, but she was completely like no one, she didn't care about rubbing the top of her head, grabbed Zhang Ruiming's shirt, and said in a crying voice: "Xuanxuan! Xuanxuan didn't see anyone!"
Zhang Ruiming only felt a strong tinnitus in his mind, as if he couldn't hear anything, he quickly stared at his wife and said, "What!? You can make it clear!?"
Seeing his man in front of him, Tang Shi burst out crying, and two bean-sized tears instantly popped out of Tang Shi's cheeks, and then tears poured out.
She ...... Her teacher just called and said she had been picked up...... Woo, it's that I saw Xuanxuan before I got to the point and didn't take the school bus home today, I felt strange, called the teacher Huang, she said that Xuanxuan had left before, she said that there was a family member to pick up, I wanted to confirm with our parents, and then I cleaned up the housework inside, the phone was not turned on, Xuanxuan disappeared...... Oops, I said as I walked, you come and drive. ”
Tang Shi couldn't say anything at all when she cried, Zhang Ruiming listened to a general meaning in a daze, her daughter did not go home as usual, but was picked up by someone who didn't know, just stuffed her car keys into Zhang Ruiming's hand, and led Zhang Ruiming to the garage at a trot.
Zhang Ruiming was not verbose, he pulled the car door, sat on it and pulled the seat belt, while trying to calm his wife, the more this time, the more he couldn't fall, if the only man in his family fell, it would be even worse.
"It's okay, it's okay, my daughter may just go out to play, there are no other problems, Xuanxuan is so smart and sensible, where may there be any danger, don't worry, let's go to school first?"
Her husband's comfort didn't make Tang Shi much better, she sobbed and replied: "At the school, their teachers have been looking for them along the way, I just asked in the parent group, and the children who usually play well with Xuanxuan told me a place, saying that Xuanxuan may be there, let's go there first." ”
…………
Along the way, Tang Shi's emotions were close to madness, and her tears never stopped, her face was red and jumping, lined with tears, and Zhang Ruiming was even more uncomfortable to watch. While blaming herself for why the phone wasn't turned on at the time, she cried and kept making phone calls, asking everywhere where her daughter was.
Zhang Ruiming was also on the verge of collapse at this time, he held the steering wheel tightly with both hands, and kept reminding himself that he couldn't let himself get out of control.
Listening to Xuanxuan's homeroom teacher Huang's complaint, when she took the bus after school, Xuanxuan said that it seemed that someone came to pick her up, and then when Teacher Huang turned around and called Tang Shi, Xuanxuan disappeared when she turned around, which sounded like a problem.
Zhang Ruiming is immersed in the city inspection work, Tang Shi is also actively preparing for the job at home, Zhang Qingcang, who is usually responsible for picking up his daughter, has been busy with the affairs of his resort recently, so Xuanxuan has been taking the school bus to and from the school during this time. This scene just appeared, but since the Zhang family is busy with their own work, who will be this Xuanxuan who will come out to pick her up!?
At this time, it is the peak period of getting off work in Tianjin and Hong Kong, and the night of this coastal city in winter comes very early, and now it is only more than six o'clock, and the overcast night is shrouded in this bustling metropolis, Zhang Ruiming is a burst of fear in his heart, he has to admit that if this matter leans on the worst possibility, there is a person who is the most dangerous suspect.
Zhou Qiangnong!
Thinking of this name, Zhang Ruiming is now a cold attack, this man who has lost everything, not long ago because of his own arrangement climbed the city inspection building to find death, now he has declared defeated, originally planned to seek justice from Quan Jian, but he has to bear such an honorary compensation, how can this reckless crop man be convinced!?
And he was cornered, trapped and fighting, and if he was instigated by that Tang Zuo, he would probably regard himself as the culprit of all this! And under the forced jumping wall, could it be Zhou Qiangnong who robbed his daughter!?
As soon as this thought came out, a few drops of cold sweat broke out on Zhang Ruiming's head, and his back was instantly soaked. This is not a trivial matter where children are greedy for fun and don't go home, if that's the case, then Xuanxuan's life is likely to be in danger, in case Qiangnong is crazy this week, maybe her daughter is ...... now
The sharp sound of 呲呲~, Zhang Ruiming slammed the direction, Tang Shi next to him was thrown out of the seat, and the car he was driving turned to the right suddenly, only then did he avoid a normal SUV in the side lane.
Tang Shi's collapsed mood was also interrupted by this sudden danger, she turned her head and complained: "Can you drive a little more steadily, don't get distracted! I just know that I can't drive emotionally, how can you do this...... You have to resist, my daughter is still waiting for us to pass!"
Zhang Ruiming nodded hurriedly, his upper lip bit his lower lip heavily, the sharp pain between his lips calmed him down a little, and he comforted himself: It's okay, it's okay, my daughter should just be greedy to play out for a while, it's okay......
Regardless of whether such psychological comfort is useful or not, Zhang Ruiming does not plan to tell his wife this terrible inference, now that Tang Shi is on the verge of collapse, if he scares her again, Tang Shi may faint directly.
Zhang Ruiming gritted his teeth and drove forward, but fortunately he quickly found the place where Xuanxuan often haunted by this daughter's classmate, this is the Botanical Garden of Jingang, which is originally an extremely remote place. Zhang Ruiming and Tang Shi hurriedly parked the car, trotted to the door, and asked the staff if they had just seen a little girl about ten years old go in, but at this time it was early winter, the cold wind in the botanical garden, it was the off-season, several irresponsible staff were in the door duty room closed door to sleep, after waking up, all they got was their impatient reply: "I didn't pay attention to anyone, we don't charge tickets, they are all in and out by themselves, what do you have to go in and out yourself, we are not responsible!" ”
At this time, there was a request for people, Zhang Ruiming didn't have time to talk to these people, he forced himself to smile, took out the prosecutorial card from his pocket, and said in a pleading tone: "I am the prosecutor of the city procuratorate, my daughter was lost this afternoon, her classmates said that she usually likes to come here alone to play, can you help, help us find it?"
The impatient botanical garden manager glanced at Zhang Ruiming's certificate, he "tsk", his tone was still better, but the meaning was still the same: "We can't help you with this, we have our responsibilities, we have to be stationed in the drip bits, you want to find it, or find it yourself, it's really not good, you call the police to find it!"
After speaking, the man was about to close the small window of the duty room and not get entangled with Zhang Ruiming, but the anxious father held it down with one hand, and pleaded through the cracks: "Please help!
"Monitoring...... This surveillance has long been broken, you want to see it and you don't look at us, you have to go to the municipal government, it has nothing to do with us. ”
After speaking, with a snap, the park administrator closed the small window, hid in the duty room to blow the air conditioner and watch TV, disdainful of the rights and wrongs outside.
Tang Shi was on the fire, and a slap was slapped on the door of the indifferent park duty room, and she scolded these municipal silverfish twice, and was stopped by Zhang Ruiming.
"Scold these people too
It's useless, they're like this, they don't take care of things, let's look inside ourselves, it's really not good, I'll go to the public security bureau here to find an acquaintance, see if we can ask the police station to come over to help, in short, let's find it ourselves. ”
After Zhang Ruiming finished speaking, he pulled his wife to the park, the two were anxious, shouted while walking, looked for a few hundred meters, and found that the effect was too poor, Zhang Ruiming looked at the huge park, and said to Tang Shi: " This is the old park built many years ago, there are two gates in the north and south, very far from the city, probably the plan is to build a circle around this dusty lake, the two of us simply go our separate ways, starting from this south gate, along both sides of the lake to find separately, there will be nothing left in the middle, when the time meets at the north gate, in the middle found Xuanxuan immediately called......"
Tang Shi cared about his daughter, and before Zhang Ruiming finished speaking, he walked quickly in another direction, looking at his wife's dejected appearance, Zhang Ruiming was worried for a while, and shouted Tang Shi behind him after more than ten meters.
"Huh!"
Tang Shi glanced back at him, his eyes were empty, and he didn't know what he was doing when he stopped himself at this time.
"You're better!Stay safe, you're fine!"
Zhang Ruiming kindly reminded Tang Shi that it was completely inaudible nonsense now, she immediately turned her head and trotted along her route to find it, and her husband, who was worried about his wife and daughter, was stunned.
Looking at the back of his wife Xi Lian, Zhang Ruiming's heart was desolate, as a man, he really failed to take care of the two most important people in the family over the years, what are he busy with every day!?
The discomfort in his heart was almost drowning him, if his daughter really had three long and two short, Zhang Ruiming's life would collapse, he swallowed the bitter water in his heart at this time, turned around and shouted while walking to the depths of this botanical garden.
Along the way, he was analyzing the general situation that his daughter might face, and the best ending was to find Xuanxuan here, but from common sense, Xuanxuan is not a playful girl, and rarely doesn't go home because of what to play, especially alone. And just now Tang Shi sent another message, several of Xuanxuan's classmates said that her daughter has not been in a good mood recently, and she has quarreled with others a few times at school, which is good news for Zhang Ruiming, if what this classmate said is true, then Xuanxuan should be in a bad mood and don't want to go home too early, so she hides here alone. In Zhang Ruiming's current opinion, as long as he was not robbed by Zhou Qiangnong, then it is easy to say anything. He thought that Xuanxuan was in the first rebellious sensitive period of her life at this time, and it was normal to have these mood swings, and it was really possible to come out alone to relax.
Yes!
Zhang Ruiming kept comforting himself in his heart, thinking about it like this, he was in a much better mood, but at this time it was completely dark, he searched all the way forward, kept calling his daughter's name, and the only thing that answered him was the sound of frogs and the inaudible bird calls.
He turned on the flashlight function on his mobile phone and searched all the way to the path, just because he was worried that his daughter would be angry and deliberately did not let the parents find it. But Zhang Ruiming held the bright light of his mobile phone and looked for a way, in addition to arousing the disgust of pedestrians who were irradiated in the face, and startling a few pairs of wild mandarin ducks hiding in the woods, he didn't see Xuanxuan at all.
Not far ahead, the north gate exit of the botanical garden could already be seen, Zhang Ruiming's heart became more and more nervous, he had to admit that his daughter was probably not here. If Xuanxuan wasn't here, then she ...... Zhang Ruiming didn't dare to think badly, but he also had to admit that the possibility of Zhou Qiangnong robbing his daughter was rising, and Xuanxuan might really be in danger of her life!
At this time, a burst of strong light hit, and a figure walked towards him with a flashlight, Zhang Ruiming blocked the dazzling light, and he didn't have to look at it to guess that his wife had quickly finished looking for half of the botanical garden on her side, and at this time he had already found Zhang Ruiming's side.
"How's that!?" Tang Shi's tone was anxious, she approached Zhang Ruiming, and saw a helpless look on her husband's face, and her eyes, which were still with a hint of expectation, suddenly dimmed.
"What to do!What to do!?"
Tang Shi hurriedly circled in place, she couldn't stop at all, Zhang Ruiming's face was pale, he thought about it, and decided to confess to his wife, telling Tang Shi that her daughter might be robbed by Zhou Qiangnong.
"Wife, listen to me...... You promise me first, and after I say anything, don't get excited......"
Looking at Zhang Ruiming's suddenly solemn tone, Tang Shi instantly understood that Zhang Ruiming must have grasped some bad news that she didn't know, she suddenly stopped moving, looked at her husband in a daze, and said in a stern tone that Zhang Ruiming couldn't refuse: "If there is anything, you can say it quickly! I just want to save my daughter now, you can say it quickly!"
Zhang Ruiming also wanted his wife to be mentally prepared not to faint all at once, but at this time, Tang Shi's eyes already wanted to eat him, and he couldn't listen to the words that made her ready, so he could only say hard.
“…… There is a possibility, I just said maybe ha, this ...... Tut. Zhang Ruiming gritted his teeth and shook up half a circle with a headache, he was really a little speechless, if Tang Shi knew that it was because of the damn public interest litigation case he was going to do, if his daughter really had something, then this family would be completely gone, and Tang Shi would definitely divorce herself!
