Xunyang City is a famous cultural city in the south of the Yangtze River with a history of more than 2,000 years, which has been the capital, county, state and government in the past dynasties, located in the north of Xijiang Province, the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, the shore of Poyang Lake, the junction of the four provinces, the transition zone between the eastern coastal and the central inland, and the three major tea markets and four rice markets in the south of the Yangtze River, known as "the mouth of the three rivers, the thoroughfare of the seven provinces" and "the land of the eyebrows of the world".

Li Chengran is not in the mood to appreciate this eyebrow place, because her father Li Mo has not had an eyebrow since he was kidnapped.

Qiao Minshan saw Li Chengran's thoughts, and there was no better way than to accompany her silently. Li Chengran had already informed the people of the Sun Zhou family, and Sun Mao asked his grandson to take people to wait for Li Chengran in Xunyang.

After seeing Sun Panzhou, Li Chengran politely greeted the cousin in the next room, Sun Panzhou was in his thirties, looked personable, he greeted Li Chengran very warmly, when he saw Qiao Minshan, he felt that his eyes lit up, and his eyes had been wandering unscrupulously on Qiao Minshan's face and body.

Qiao Minshan's face suddenly turned cold, she hadn't seen this kind of son-in-law, if she had done so before, she would have turned around and left immediately, but this time she was at Xin Yifan's request to accompany Li Chengran to rescue Li Mo, and she could only endure Sun Panzhou's rude behavior.

Li Chengran also saw Sun Panzhou's actions, she coughed and said to Sun Panzhou: "Cousin Panzhou, this is Officer Qiao from the Beijing Police Department, and he came with me to investigate my father's kidnapping. ”

"Ah, it's Officer Qiao, no wonder you're so heroic, hello, I'm Sun Panzhou, I'm lucky. Sun Panzhou put on a gentlemanly smile, and then greeted Qiao Minshan very politely and stretched out his hand to shake Qiao Minshan's hand.

Qiao Minshan just said lightly: "Fortunately." "And didn't put his hand out.

Sun Panzhou was bored, smiled awkwardly, and withdrew his hand.

Li Chengran saw that the atmosphere was a little embarrassed, and said to Sun Panzhou: "Cousin Panzhou, thank you for coming so far, I don't know if there is news of my father now?"

Sun Panzhou shook his head at Li Chengran and said: "Not yet, when my grandfather told me, I was in a meeting in Hong Kong City, and I received a notice from my grandfather that I came directly from Hong Kong City." ”

Li Chengran replied with some disappointment, "Oh." ”

Sun Panzhou saw that Li Chengran was a little disappointed, he smiled and said to Li Chengran: "Cousin Chengran, you don't have to worry, I have already notified the local police in Xunyang, and at the same time I have also said hello to the local snake in Xunyang, I will be notified as soon as there is news, cousin, you haven't eaten yet, why don't we go to eat first?"

Li Chengran shook his head and said, "Cousin Rafting, we're not hungry now, and I'm really not in the mood to eat now, I'm worried about my father." ”

"Cousin Chengran, it's not okay not to eat, you have to take care of your body now, otherwise your body will collapse, what should Uncle Li Mo do, besides, this Officer Qiao didn't eat either. Sun Panzhou persuaded.

"Thank you, I'm not hungry, Mr. Sun, let's find a way to inquire about Uncle Li's whereabouts as soon as possible. Qiao Minshan said in a light tone.

Sun Panzhou pursed his mouth, turned back to a young man beside him and said, "Zhifeng, go and call that Ah Biao and ask him if he has any news." The young man named Zhifeng nodded, and then took out the phone and stepped aside to make a call.

"Officer Qiao, cousin Chengran, I will personally call Director Zhang of Xunyang City again, please wait a moment. Sun Panzhou said to Li Chengran and Qiao Minshan.

Li Chengran nodded, and Qiao Minshan was noncommittal.

After a while, Sun Panzhou came over with a gloomy face, and Li Chengran hurriedly asked, "Cousin Panzhou, how is it?"

Sun Panzhou pursed his lips and was about to speak, when the young man named Zhifeng came over and said a few words in Sun Panzhou's ear.

"What? does this Ah Biao really say that?" asked Sun Panzhou a little angrily.

The young man named Zhifeng nodded and said, "That's what he said. ”

"Hmph, I want to see if there's anything my grandson can't handle. Sun Panzhou snorted coldly.

"Cousin Chengran, this matter may become a little troublesome now, but you don't have to worry, I will call the mayor of Xunyang City immediately, and ask him to immediately order the Xunyang City Police Department to investigate this matter!" Sun Fanzhou said very seriously, and then turned around and went to call.

Li Chenran and Qiao Minshan seemed to smell a hint of unhappiness from Sun Panzhou's words, and the two glanced at each other, neither of them spoke, waiting for Sun Panzhou's news.

After about ten minutes, Sun Panzhou walked over with a sinking face and said to Li Chengran: "Cousin Chengran, just now I called Mayor Wang of Xunyang, and he said that now he is studying in the provincial capital, and he can only wait for him to come back to supervise and deal with this matter." ”

"Did he say when he would be back?" asked Qiao Minshan.

Sun Panzhou shook his head and said, "He said that he might study in the provincial capital for a month!"

"What!" Li Chengran exclaimed dumbly.

Sun Panzhou also seemed to realize the complexity of the matter, put away other thoughts, and began to think carefully about this matter.

Sun Maocai said when he called him, let him use everything in Xijiang Province, and even all the relationships to deal with this matter, he felt that his grandfather was making a fuss at first, but now from the reaction of the mayor of Xunyang and the police chief, it seems that it is a little unexpected, and even the leader of the local underground gang, Ah Biao, asked Zhifeng to leave this matter alone.

"Cousin Chengran, what did the kidnappers say before you came?" asked Sun Panzhou.

"They asked me to take this Buddha statue and the contents in exchange for my father. Li Chengran said.

"Have they contacted you since you arrived? Sun Panzhou asked again.

Li Chengran shook his head and said: "We contacted you as soon as we arrived in Xunyang, until now, those robbers have not contacted me, I went back according to the number they called me last time, and the phone number displayed was empty." ”

Sun Panzhou nodded and said: "They may use dialing software, or they may use someone else's ID card to register the number, and then cancel it." In this way, you wait for me a little longer, I will tell my grandfather about this matter first, and if it doesn't work, ask the family to come forward and find the province. After Sun Panzhou finished speaking, he frowned and went to call again.

"Min Shan, do you want to tell your captain about the situation here, now the two of us are like headless flies, there is no direction, my dad is so old, I am really worried about him. Li Chengran's eyes turned red as he spoke, as if he was willing to cry at any time.

Qiao Minshan stepped forward to hold her hand and said, "Sister Chengran, I'll contact Team Du immediately, don't worry, there will always be a way to do things." After that, Qiao Minshan also went to report to Du Gang.

Li Chengran stood alone in place, looking at her shadow, and suddenly felt inseparable, she didn't even have a person to rely on now, she thought of Xin Yifan again, I don't know how Xin Yifan is doing now, whether he rescued his parents, how good it would be if Xin Yifan could be by her side, and Ye Zilan. Li Chengran only now realizes that he is becoming more and more dependent on Xin Yifan, and when he is away, he always feels empty in his heart.

After Qiao Minshan finished the phone call, Sun Panzhou returned, his brows were still tightly wrinkled, completely lost the graceful and chic appearance when he first met, as if he was not so interested in Qiao Minshan, he said to Li Chengran: "Cousin Chengran, grandpa said that this Buddha statue is related to the future and safety of the Sun and Zhou families, let me go to the province immediately, I want to know what is the secret of this Buddha statue, so that grandpa attaches so much importance to it." ”

Li Chengran looked at Sun Panzhou with a difficult face, then looked at Qiao Minshan, and said to Sun Panzhou: "Cousin Panzhou, this Buddha statue does have a great secret, which is also the reason why the kidnappers kidnapped my father, I can't tell you now, if you really want to know, you can only let your uncle tell you, this is also a family secret, I have no right to tell you." ”

After Sun Panzhou listened to Li Chengran's words, his face was a little ugly, and he asked Li Chengran a little angrily: "Since it is a family secret, why do you know it?"

"Because this Buddha statue was rediscovered by me! And the secret in it was also discovered by me and my friend first, cousin boating, you don't have to be angry, you shouldn't have taken care of this matter in the first place, but now that my uncle and grandfather have asked you to deal with it, I think he has his plans, you can ask him for clarification." Li Chengran was already a little unhappy with the rudeness of this cousin he had just met, and now in the face of his questioning, Li Chengran didn't want to say anything.

Hearing Li Chengran's somewhat unhappy words, Sun Panzhou just looked at her, snorted softly, and turned to leave. Li Chengran glanced at Sun Panzhou's back and sighed softly.

Qiao Minshan walked over, took Li Chengran's hand and said to her: "I called Team Du just now, and he said that he also has no right to order the police in Xunyang City, this matter is obviously aimed at the spirit bones, since the people sent by the Sun family don't care, we still have to find a way, Sister Chengran, let's find a place to live first, I think it won't be long before the robbers will contact you." ”

Li Chengran could only nod helplessly, took out his mobile phone, and prepared to find a hotel nearby to stay.

It didn't take long for Sun Panzhou to go and return, and when he saw Li Chengran again, his attitude changed again, and he didn't have the anger when he left.

I saw Sun Panzhou say to Li Chengran in a gentle tone: "I'm sorry, cousin Chengran, I had a bad attitude just now, just now my grandfather called me again, and will let my second uncle come over, he used to be an important member of Xijiang Province, just now grandpa also told me about the secret of the family, cousin, and thank you for helping the family find the family heirloom that has been lost for a long time." ”

Sun Panzhou's change of attitude did not surprise Li Chengran too much, but for this cousin to change his face so quickly, Li Chengran felt that he was a little underestimated.

Seeing that Li Chengran didn't speak, Sun Panzhou continued: "Cousin, don't be angry with your cousin, I'll compensate you, don't worry, I'll leave for the provincial capital right now, I will leave Xiao He and Zhifeng to protect you, they are all special forces who have just retired, and they are very good, cousin, you can let Zhifeng settle the bill for your expenses here." After speaking, Sun Panzhou smiled all over his face.

Regarding Sun Panzhou's apology, Li Chengran just smiled bitterly and said: "Cousin Panzhou, I'm not angry with you, I want to rescue my father as soon as possible now, you don't have to mind." ”

"Yes, yes, I'll go to the provincial capital now, you wait for my news, if the robbers call you, you must tell me, don't act alone." Sun Panzhou said again.

Lee Seung-ran nodded.
