Chapter 405: Soft Corners
His wife didn't give Zhang Ruiming a chance to hesitate, she stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Ruiming's sleeve, her expression was so vicious that she was about to burst into flames.
"Tell me, where the hell is our daughter!?"
Zhang Ruiming held back the trembling and fear in his heart, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "I'm thinking...... Is it possible that our Xuanxuan was ...... by that damn Zhou Qiangnong? Tie it up?"
Tang Shi's eyes opened to the limit in an instant, and in these originally beautiful eyes, the pupils became as sharp as a female leopard.
"What are you talking about!? You mean the guy surnamed Zhou who fought a lawsuit with Quanjian, and he kidnapped our daughter?"
"It's not...... I'm not sure, I'm just wondering if there's such a possibility...... Because Zhou Qiangnong climbed the top floor of our city inspection last time because of his misunderstanding of me, I am worried that he will come at me again this time...... So ......"
Zhang Ruiming's voice was so low that even he couldn't hear it clearly, he lowered his head and didn't dare to look directly at his wife's gaze, the terrifying atmosphere spread rapidly between the two, although Tang Shi didn't say a word at this time, he had already faintly felt the powerful aggression of Tang Shi in front of him as if he was going to choose someone to devour.
"Zhang Ruiming, I don't want to talk to you about these at work now, you'd better bless our daughter to be safe and sound this time, otherwise, I guarantee that you won't have a good life in your next life!"
When he said this, Tang Shi's finger clip that grabbed his collar was already deeply stuck into his skin, and Zhang Ruiming, who was in pain, gasped, but not to mention that his wife was just venting the frustration in her heart a little now, it was at this time that Tang Shi gave him a few heavy blows, and Zhang Ruiming felt that he deserved it.
He pulled a bitter face, and tried to put his hand on Tang Shi's shoulder to appease the mother who was on the verge of collapse, but Tang Shi directly shook off his hand heavily, Zhang Ruiming had a bitter expression, and comforted: "Don't be anxious first, it won't necessarily come to that point, I'll call the police immediately, and then mobilize friends to help find my daughter as soon as possible." ”
Zhang Ruiming said as he dialed a number, "Hey, hello, I'm a ...... from the Jingang City Procuratorate."
When she called the police, Tang Shi listened attentively, and before Zhang Ruiming hung up the phone, she urged: "You hurry up and find someone again!
Zhang Ruiming nodded slightly, then raised the mobile phone to his ear, and when he called the phone, his eyes swept away into the distance, and after two beeps, the phone was connected.
"Oh, what are the instructions?"
"That's right, Director Chen, excuse me, this ......"
Tang Shi heard Zhang Ruiming's tone and knew that the person her husband was looking for at this time was probably Chen Jie, the director of the Xijiang Branch, but the originally wandering gaze on Zhang Ruiming's face suddenly looked fixedly, and then his whole expression changed suddenly.
“…… Ju Chen, wait a minute, I'll call you later. ”
Tang Shi didn't know why her husband suddenly hung up the phone, she just wanted to make a sound, but Zhang Ruiming pointed to a place with a finger.
"Look over there......"
The location of the two is a pavilion next to the north gate of the botanical garden, the terrain is slightly higher, and under the eyes of the four rounds, they can look beyond the fence of the park and see outside. Tang Shi followed his gaze, only to see a full moon shrouded embankment, which is located in the northwest suburbs of Jingang City, close to the mouth of the Jingsha River, along the river area, the municipal government has built a scenic belt along the way, and the small park and small square scattered in the middle are a good place for young people to play skateboarding at night, release drones, and small couples to gather secretly, and the location projected by Zhang Ruiming's eyes is a beautiful riverside landscape belt outside the botanical garden.
"Why? Isn't that a belt of scenery?"
Tang Shi felt that Zhang Ruiming's reaction was a little too excited, isn't this ordinary riverbank landscape all along the way? And on this cold day, how could Xuanxuan run to such a remote and uninhabited place alone?
But Zhang Ruiming's expression was quite solemn, and he didn't mean to point at it, "No, do you think that place is familiar?"
"Familiar?"
Tang Shi cast her gaze on the embankment again in confusion, but after looking at it for a few seconds, she didn't see anything unusual, she was too frightened in her head today, and she couldn't concentrate on thinking about anything at this time.
Seeing that his wife was unaware, Zhang Ruiming said with a hint of excitement in his tone: "Look there, isn't that the place where our family "ate knives" together last time?"
…………
"Eat knife" in Tianjin and Hong Kong dialect, is the meaning of eating saury, such a valuable delicacy, not every ordinary family can afford to eat, in recent years, the environment has deteriorated, the river knife is comparable to gold, the national annual Yangtze River saury fishing certificate is generally only 29. And Zhang Ruiming's memory of the last time he ate a knife is still stuck in the scene of his father taking the whole family in the small shop along the river a year ago.
That day was Zhang Ruiming just returned to Jingang from Dongjiang City after the Nanjiang Group case, and the rare reunion of the family came to a small shop near here under Zhang Qingcang's shouting.
He still remembers the scene of holding his daughter in his arms and singing poems to the full moon, and he still remembers the delicious fish fat and fragrant teeth, and the embarrassed appearance of Xuanxuan eating too quickly and biting her tongue. At this time, that beautiful memory came alive in his mind because of this situation.
Will Xuanxuan also chase this memory and go to the riverbank scenery alone?
The two of them thought of it, and acted quickly, walking quickly through the north gate of the botanical garden, trotting towards the embankment, shouting along the way, it was evening, and it was the most remote section of the embankment, and there was no figure to be seen at all. Zhang Ruiming and his wife were shouting and looking for the depths, just when the two were about to give up, Zhang Ruiming's eyes were sharp, and he suddenly found that the grass in the low part of the embankment not far from him moved.
He took two steps over there, tentatively leaned down to look down, and he was suddenly overjoyed to see a familiar little body curled up on the steps, sitting there alone with her head down, it was a little girl who was staying alone, the girl just glanced back at Zhang Ruiming, and her whole head was buried lower and lower.
Zhang Ruiming's tears of excitement were about to come out, but in his heart was indescribable joy, this little girl hiding under the railing of the embankment was Xuanxuan, who he and Tang Shi were about to find crazy. The two of them hurriedly surrounded them, and they were speechless with excitement for a while.
Xuanxuan...... You...... Well, why did you come here alone? You don't know how anxious we were looking for you......"
Seeing that he finally found his daughter, Zhang Ruiming's burden in his heart was finally let go, he squatted down with a look of pity, pressed his hand on his daughter's shoulder, and sighed incomparably at the preciousness at this time. But Xuanxuan didn't give her face, as soon as he put the hand on his shoulder, he was thrown away by Xuanxuan, and then the little girl's angry words.
"I don't want you to care, it's good that you let me stay here alone!"
The depression and pain of running all the way made Tang Shi almost on the verge of despair, but after finding someone, her daughter still had such an attitude, and at the moment when Xuanxuan threw off Zhang Ruiming's hand, Tang Shi's anger completely exploded.
"Zhang Jinxuan, what do you mean!? Do you think it's cool for a person like you to come out!? Have you ever considered whether An is safe? Have you ever thought about how worried our parents are!? What are you still squatting here!? Hurry up and go back with me!"
She was a "tiger mother" at home, where had she ever encountered Xuanxuan so rebellious, she immediately grabbed her daughter and lectured her, but Xuanxuan just raised her head and gave her a fierce look, completely ignoring Tang Shi's roar.
Tang Shi was violent, and he wanted to teach Xuanxuan a good lesson, but it can be seen that his daughter ignored her, and now his face changed, and he stepped forward to drag her up.
Zhang Ruiming, who was following alongside, saw that Xuanxuan was also aggrieved now, and knew that it would not work hard, it would only make the situation more out of control, so he took two steps forward and pulled away Tang Shi who was ready to come hard. Protect your daughter behind you.
"You wait a minute, the situation hasn't been clarified yet, don't you rush to force her first......"
Tang Shi was angry, and her husband was still arguing beside her, and this time she sprayed at Zhang Ruiming: "What are you doing!? I haven't trained her yet, you are in a hurry to protect her!? I tell you, it's because you are always with the mud, do you know how naughty your daughter is now? You ask her, I have been called by their Teacher Huang three times this semester, and every time it is because she beats someone, do you still think your daughter is so well-behaved at school!? You usually don't care about it, but now I'm going to take care of you in the back, no wonder it's not good at home! If you want to take care of it, then you can take care of it!"
Tang Shi was looking for people who were crazy all the way, but she didn't expect that when she came to the front, Xuanxuan actually had such an attitude, and Zhang Ruiming's maintenance next to her made her even more unhappy, she only felt cold at once, and the warm expression on her face also turned into a fierce look.
Zhang Ruiming next to him softened first, and saw that Tang Shi couldn't communicate with his daughter now, so he gently pulled her aside and whispered: "This girl must have suffered some grievances in her heart, why don't you avoid it first, and I'll talk to her slowly?" ”
Although she knew that what her husband said was basically the truth, Tang Shi was still uncomfortable, she looked at her daughter who was squatting on the steps, she could only retreat to the side with tears in her eyes, and watched Zhang Ruiming lean over, regardless of whether the ground was dirty or not, she sat down next to Xuanxuan.
Although Xuanxuan has been intimate with Zhang Ruiming since he was a child, he has no clue at this time, what kind of thing can make his always well-behaved daughter suddenly run out alone, which makes him feel tricky. I can only try to make a start.
"Girl, what's the matter, what are you doing when you come out alone today? Have you eaten? What do you want to eat? How about your favorite pizza? I'll take you there." ”
Zhang Ruiming tried to start with these other topics, first hooking out the gluttonous worms in his daughter's stomach, but Xuanxuan didn't respond to him at all, just buried her head deeply, completely ignoring the anxious parents next to her.
"Xuanxuan, how about ordering your favorite cheese prawns?! It's eight o'clock now, and it's going to close later." ”
The river breeze is blowing, Xuanxuan still ignores Zhang Ruiming's temptation, at this time, the lights on the other side are on, and the dazzling neon reflects the river water into the painting plate in the painter's hand, Zhang Ruiming sighed, and can understand why his daughter chose to hide in this place.
If you don't want to talk, don't talk.
Zhang Ruiming leaned back, accompanied his daughter to blow the river breeze, enjoying this rare leisure, except for the sharp gaze of his wife not far behind him who blamed himself for not getting it done quickly, "like a man on his back", this situation and this scene really made Zhang Ruiming willing to stay for a while.
The three of them were silent for a while, and Zhang Ruiming suddenly began to talk to himself.
"On the way here today, because I was worried about your safety, your mother drove too quickly and almost hit a truck, but fortunately I pulled the direction to the side, otherwise, your mother and I might have been gone......"
Although Zhang Ruiming's exclamation of replacing the protagonist with Tang Shi did not cause Xuanxuan's response, he had already noticed that his daughter had actually listened, and he could even see that his daughter's little head buried in her knees had two cute little ears erected.
“…… Hey, now that I think about it, in fact, I'm not afraid at all, it doesn't matter what I live with your mother, the only thing I'm afraid of is to leave you alone in this world...... What can I do then? You're so young, you're alone, sitting alone in a place like this, I can just think about it...... Hey, I don't dare to think about it, don't look at your mother just murdered you, in fact, she cried all the way over, no parent can bear his child struggling alone in this world, I ......"
Zhang Ruiming said that the more he spoke, the more emotional he became, his tone was a little choked, Xuanxuan couldn't help it at this time, she raised her little head, and said with a hint of anxiety in her tone: "That...... Were you all right just now? Didn't you bump into it?"
Just like Zhang Ruiming said, in the same way, no child will not worry about the safety of their parents, just this thrilling elaboration, so that Xuanxuan temporarily let go of the defense in her heart, she said a little anxiously, as if she was really worried that because of her willfulness, she would miss her parents.
"If it's dangerous, then pay attention to your own safety, calm down, don't look for me, I'll be fine......"
Zhang Ruiming smiled bitterly, took his daughter with one hand, and touched her little head lovingly: "How can it be so easy to calm down, my little princess, you are the most important person in this family, without you, your mother and I really won't live." ”
Xuanxuan didn't resist this time, and said with a little anger in Zhang Ruiming's arms: "You and I still believe it...... I don't believe it, she's always going to murder me anyway, saying I'm not good enough, and if I'm gone, then she'll just have another obedient one with you. I'm not good anyway...... Hum. ”
Zhang Ruiming pinched Xuanxuan's silky little face, "You don't know how much your mother cares about you, just now, in order to find you, she ran all the way from the south gate of the botanical garden, fell a few times along the way, and her face was marked by branches, you know how much this old princess of your family loves beauty." But as soon as she fell, she got up immediately, and went forward to look for you without saying a word, and her hair was messed up and she didn't have time to wipe the blood on her face, isn't it amazing?"
"Really?" Xuanxuan said, turning her head from Zhang Ruiming's arms, and secretly looked at Tang Shi a few meters away, wanting to see if she really fell, just her eyes met Tang Shi's eyes, and Xuanxuan was so frightened that she quickly turned around.
Although Tang Shi has always been a tiger mother, the first sentence of the first sentence when they met was to murder her, but Xuanxuan really felt a little guilty today, her father was right, and there were still blood marks on her mother's face.
"Okay, you tell me the truth, why did you suddenly lie to Teacher Huang today and come here alone?"
Zhang Ruiming did not miss the atmosphere that was finally adjusted at this moment, and asked his daughter softly. Xuanxuan's answer was beyond his expectations, she didn't answer directly, but asked a strange question.
"Dad, I want to ask you first. Are you really fighting the lawsuits of the rich?"
"What kind of rich man's lawsuit ......" Zhang Ruiming's face was stunned for a while, but he combined with the last Tang poem's mouth, Xuanxuan was bullied by some rich businessmen's children at school, and then Zhang Ruiming immediately reacted, Xuanxuan should ask "Do you often fight those lawsuits against the rich".
“…… Oh, you actually want to ask me if I'm only fighting lawsuits against the rich businessmen and bosses, right?"
A haze swept across Xuanxuan's face, but she still nodded.
"Dad is a prosecutor, this is still complicated to explain to you, you just need to know that Dad is the one who punishes those bad guys, it's similar to the police uncle, you just remember this. ”
Xuanxuan nodded as if she didn't understand, and then she hesitated and asked, "That'...... Dad, you're not in a lawsuit with those rich people, you're not looking for them for money, are you?"
Sure enough, Xuanxuan estimated that she was laughed and attacked by other children, no wonder she was so disappointed and wanted to find herself for verification.
Thinking of this, Zhang Ruiming smiled bitterly, and suddenly explained seriously: "Of course not, Dad is a good person, Dad is for the country to punish these bad people, you are still young, and when you are older, you know that Dad, a public interest litigation prosecutor, is for the good of everyone in society, and stand up and clean up those bad rich people, not to be greedy for their money...... Daddy assures you everything. ”
