The atmosphere was a little awkward, and everyone's eyes were focused on Chen Bowen.

Just as he was trying his best to search for fragments about Bai Yu in his mind, someone suddenly asked him loudly about the scene that happened on the night he and Lu Wanting confessed to each other in Miao Village.

The man with red cheeks must have drunk too much to ignore his silence and continue to shout unscrupulously: "You say, there's nothing you can't say, right? ”

Everyone seemed to be interested, and looked at him expectantly, and the person who was further back moved his chair forward.

"I drank too much that night, and I can't remember a lot of things." He glanced at Lu Wanting and quickly looked away.

Everyone was obviously dissatisfied with this answer, but in order to resolve the embarrassment, they toasted each other with wine glasses.

He raised the glass in his hand and met the cup stretched out to him, the sound of clinking glasses "ding" brought a moment of trance, he asked himself what he was doing, Chen Zhongwu was now on the verge of life, but he had no way to save him.

After a moment of commotion, he had no intention of staying any longer.

She couldn't drink much because of a foot injury, and watched him smoke one cigarette after another from a distance, and the melancholy expression on his face appeared in the smoke from time to time.

She lifted her injured foot, supported the back of the chair with one hand, and circled most of the table to hold him.

"Let's keep playing, let's withdraw first."

did not get any of the newcomers drunk, which made everyone very unwilling and resolutely refused to let them go.

She protected him like a child, blocking the wine glass that someone handed her. After repeatedly apologizing, he pulled him out of the room.

When she got home, she went straight to the living room and poured herself a cup of tea. The amount of alcohol was not good, and she felt very weak after drinking a few more glasses at the class reunion, and on the way home, he drove the car so fast that she almost couldn't hold back and vomited in the car.

Seeing that she was very uncomfortable, he took a tissue to help her wipe the fine beads of sweat from her forehead.

"Don't go if you don't want to go in the future, who didn't force you with a gun."

After saying this, she went upstairs and went back to her room without looking back. He stood alone in the living room, watching her cling to the handrail of the stairs and jumping up the stairs, still holding the tissue in her hand, her body as if she had been nailed.

Grandma's room was on the first floor, and when he saw that the light was still on, he went inside.

Mrs. Chen sat on the edge of the bed, holding an old photo album in her hand, and when she saw his tall figure appear in front of her, she kindly beckoned him to come and sit beside her.

"You see, this is what your grandfather looked like when he was young, and you look most like him. I remember when you were younger, you liked to play the game of cop and thief with him, and you and Zhongwu always rushed to be cops. ”

Grandma's words hit him like an electric current at once, and he suddenly had an idea.

After leaving his grandmother's room, he came outside the house and made a phone call to Xiao Li of the company, asking Xiao Li to ask his uncle at the police station about a person named Bai Yu, who had to pretend to be inadvertent, so as not to arouse the vigilance of Sheriff Li.

Although it was such a strange thing to suddenly receive a call from him so late, Xiao Li, who knew how to observe words and looks, did not ask a word, and from his serious tone, Xiao Li guessed that the importance of this matter might be extraordinary, so he promised to do it, and he could call him back before tomorrow morning.

He looked up at the vast night sky, and the stars in the night sky were clearly visible without the obstruction of tall buildings. He lit another cigarette and smoked it before returning home.

However, he never noticed that in a room on the second floor, she was standing behind a curtain and watching his every move.

In the first half of the night, he barely closed his eyes, and he kept thinking about all kinds of possibilities, and he didn't fall asleep until the second half of the night. Finally, it was dawn, and as soon as he left the room, he saw her yawning with her long hair unkempt.

"It's really strange, I haven't heard your snoring in the past few nights, and you played quite happily when you were in Miao Village."

She seemed to have put last night's unhappiness behind the clouds, and made jokes about him like no one.

After a full day's rest yesterday, coupled with Mrs. Chen's ancestral secret recipe for treating sprains, Lu Wanting, who has a strong self-repair ability, can almost walk on both feet today.

At breakfast, she asked her grandmother where there was a supermarket nearby, and she wanted to cook hometown dishes for her grandmother at noon, so that her grandmother could relive the taste of the past.

When Mrs. Chen and her were discussing each other's familiar hometown dishes, Chen Bowen's mobile phone rang, it was Xiao Li.

He hung up the phone, texted Xiao Li back that it was inconvenient to answer now, and then left the dining table, took his coat and prepared to go out.

"Grandma, I'm going to see a big customer today, and I shouldn't be going home for dinner at noon."

"It's okay, you can go about it." Grandma waved her hand. Originally, there were few opportunities to eat with his grandson, and they were busy with work, after Chen Zhongwu went to New Zealand, he spent more time with him than before, and he was already very satisfied, not to mention that there was a lively and sensible granddaughter-in-law by his side.

"Grandma, I'm going to the supermarket now to buy ingredients, and if I go earlier, I can buy fresh fish."

As soon as Chen Bowen went out, she was ready to go out with her.

Grandma was worried about her foot injury and asked to accompany her, she smiled and walked around Grandma a few times, telling Grandma not to worry, she herself would be more careful, and then walked out of the house.

The car in front of the door was gone, leaving only two shallow ruts, she hurried to the side of the road to get a taxi, and suddenly saw a black car parked in the corner in front of her, she recognized it as his car, so she retreated, hiding behind a thick tree trunk, observing the movement ahead.

In the car, Chen Bowen dialed Xiao Li's phone.

Xiao Li learned from Sheriff Li that the man named Bai Yu was sentenced to three months in prison last year for fighting in a group, and there were rumors that after he was released from prison, he gathered a group of people and kidnapped a rich man, but because of insufficient evidence, the police were unable to launch a search and pursuit.

Officer Li was assigned to take charge of the case, and went to collect information from the person who had been kidnapped, but the other party insisted that he had never been kidnapped, and the matter was closed.

Hearing this, the flame of hope in his heart seemed to be about to be extinguished, there were so many gangsters in this world, how could he accurately judge that this Bai Yu was the kidnapper who kidnapped Chen Zhongwu? From last night's gossip and Xiao Li's description, he still couldn't match Bai Yu with this kidnapping.

His mood was plunged into darkness. Today is the third day, I don't know how Chen Zhongwu will be tortured at the hands of the kidnappers, no matter what, he has to come up with a way.

Next, he heard what he thought was the most important message, which gave him a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

Officer Li inadvertently revealed a few more words, in the fight incident led by Bai Yu, his younger brother Bai Long was accidentally injured and is still lying in the hospital, becoming a vegetative person. During the days when Bai Yu was serving his sentence, their old mother took care of Bai Long, and later because she couldn't afford the expensive medical expenses, the old mother committed suicide by jumping into the river.

Not long after Bai Yu was released from prison, he not only paid off the arrears to the hospital, but also paid the hospitalization fees for the following year. No one knew where he got the money, and Officer Li saw that he was no longer in trouble, so he ended his attention to him.

After listening to Xiao Li's description, Chen Bowen suddenly felt that he was no longer passive, and he had mastered the key weakness of the other party.

Then, he asked Xiao Li Bailong which hospital he was hospitalized in.

At the end of last year, Xiao Li went to that hospital, because he had acute enteritis again, and it was Officer Li who accompanied him to see the doctor.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Bowen took a deep breath. If Bai Yu is the kidnapper who kidnapped Chen Zhongwu, then he must go to the hospital and find the patient named Bai Long, which is the only way for him now.

Since he was under the surveillance of the other party most of the time, after he found the white dragon, Bai Yu would think that he would be disadvantageous to his younger brother, and this was a good time for him to take advantage of the situation.

It was enough to go to the police station alone, but if he continued to touch the other party's weakness this time, he didn't know what the consequences would be, but he didn't understand the truth of getting the tiger if he didn't enter the tiger's den.

It has been two days since Chen Zhongwu was kidnapped, and today is the deadline, and it is impossible for him to raise 20 million in such a short period of time, nor can he ask the police for help, so he is undoubtedly joking with Chen Zhongwu's life.

Now, the development of things is not too bad, no matter how well the other party disguises, sooner or later he will show his feet, and he decided to take a risk.

However, on the other hand, if his judgment was wrong, what if Bai Yu had nothing to do with Chen Zhongwu? He didn't think much of it, he twisted the car keys, and after a few roars of the engine, he slowly drove out of the corner.

Lu Wanting, who was hiding behind the tree, saw the car start, and immediately ran to the side of the road, just as a taxi passed by, she waved her hand to stop, pulled the car door and sat in, the movements were coherent as if it was a matter of seconds, and the driver also became cautious under her fast action and serious expression on her face, and asked, "Miss, where are you going?" ”

"Follow the black car in front of you." She pointed ahead, seeing him driving farther and farther away from them, "Hurry up, hurry up, you won't be able to see it later." ”

The driver didn't seem to be surprised by this kind of nervous and exciting tracking, he quickly started the car and followed, with a contemptuous smile on the corner of his mouth, guessing in his heart that this is not the bridge that often appears in TV dramas, and the owner of the car who was tracked was either her husband or her husband's junior.

This morning's tracking was decided between the electric and the light after he hung up the phone and left. Ever since they had returned from Miaozhai, she had sensed that something was wrong with him, and that feeling had intensified last night.

"Chen Bowen, what else are you hiding from me?" She sat restlessly in the back seat.
