Chapter 13: The Plum Blossom Goes Missing
There was no one in the bedroom and bathroom, and the last bit of hope in Bai Wendi's heart was completely disappointed.
In a trance, he felt as if he was back in his childhood.
He was only six years old that year, and his grandfather asked him to buy a few teenage girls from Suzhou. What a beautiful little girl, white and clean, with big watery eyes, a girl with a pair of small dimples smiled very sweetly, and took his hand and called him little brother. Later, she was taken into her grandfather's room, and when she was carried out the next day, she was covered in blood, and the two servants raised their heads and feet, and the blood fell to the ground dripping, and the young lady's thick black hair dangled like a broom.
Bai Wendi rushed over and asked, "Where are you going to carry her?" ”
"Young master, this girl can't resist tossing and is out of breath."
Out of gas? Xiao Bai Wendi was bold and reached out to probe her snort, and sure enough, there was no breath, and her face was cold.
"Young master, don't get your hands dirty." The maid dragged the little girl out, Bai Wendi was stunned and watched the door open, there was a bright sunshine outside the door, and then the door closed again, he raised his hand, looked at his fingers, the fingertips were stained with a little girl's blood, sticky, he squatted down, pressed on the floor, and then again, looking at the small red blood fingerprints on the ground, the young Bai Wendi felt the sadness of beauty and brokenness for the first time. , my heart also snapped, as if something had broken.
Now, that feeling of powerlessness strikes again.
He staggered and reached for the wall, and slowly crouched down to sit on the floor, his eyes full of fear, his hands covering his face, and crying silently.
Why, why is he still so useless, he has grown up, established the League of Justice, and vowed to be a righteous person and work hard to help the lower masses, but why is this still the case...... Fail. I don't know how long it took for him to get up slowly, look around, and say to himself in a firm tone: "I can't give up, I can't give up on that child." ”
Bai Wendi ran down and called a rickshaw to rush to the alliance. The rickshaw walked away for a while, and Bai Wendi reached out blankly and inserted it into the pocket of his suit, and suddenly he touched a hard card, and when he picked it up, he saw that it was the reporter's business card.
Didn't I throw that card away?
Bai Wendi picked up the business card, only to see that the words reporter Shao Nan were printed in bold on it, and the small print below was the reporter's office location.
Thinking of the indifferent faces of the three and four elders in the alliance, the quibbles of Boss Qi and those shameless lies, Bai Wendi suddenly felt a wave of pride in his heart: What if everything is exposed? This alliance is already full of holes, Boss Qi, the third and fourth must have a lot of things to hide from themselves, and the alliance needs to be cleaned up.
According to the address on the business card, Bai Wendi found a small building and saw a sign hanging at the door of a room on the second floor with the reporter station of the Hujiang Evening News.
"Mr. Bai." Reporter Shao Nan saw Bai Wendi coming in and greeted him enthusiastically.
Bai Wendi looked at his outstretched hand a little embarrassed, and shook it hesitantly: "Mr. Reporter, I want to cooperate with you." "Welcome, Mr. Bai, in fact, our newspaper is not without purpose, we want to report on the abduction and trafficking of children in the Yellow Flood Area, and we have already done an investigation in advance. Since three years ago, your Justice League has participated in a total of four major humanitarian relief efforts, taking away a large number of children from the earthquake-stricken areas and the Yellow Flood area. ”
Bai Wendi shook his head: "I always thought that this was a trivial matter and never paid attention to it, but now that I think about it, those children are probably also very lucky." ”
"Yes, we have investigated, that year of the Diexi earthquake, Boss Qi took away more than 50 children from Mao County, of which 18 boys over the age of 10 were sold to a coal mine in Pingdingshan, and the 18 children were tortured to death within a year, and the remaining 16 girls were sold to inferior kilns."
He ...... What a loss of conscience! ”
Bai Wendi didn't expect that Boss Qi would be able to do this kind of thing three years ago, and he really used him as a big brother all these years.
"Mr. Bai, although you are ranked fifth in the alliance, as far as I know, you play the role of a military advisor in this alliance, why did you never think about understanding the situation of those children before? So many children disappeared without a trace after being taken away by Boss Qi, you never doubted it? ”
Bai Wendi shook his head: "Before, I was a little afraid of children. ”
"Afraid of children?" What are these words?
Zhao Nan repeated, and Bai Wendi smiled bitterly: "Several newspapers have my headlines today, Mr. Shao Nan must have read it, right?" ”
Zhao Nan smiled embarrassedly, which was tantamount to acquiescence.
"What the newspaper says is true, that is my family, I have lived in that dark and rotten and even perverted environment since I was a child, I am afraid of touching children, I am afraid that I will not be able to control my demons, like my grandfather and my father, I will extend my evil hand to those children, so I have been hiding away from those few times to save children, because I have no self-confidence."
After saying these words, Bai Wendi was relieved.
Zhao Nan looked at him, nodded and said, "I can understand your feelings, what made you decide to deal with these things head-on?" ”
"It's trust, plum blossom's trust in me, I feel that I can't be like an ostrich anymore, don't look at it and don't ask as if nothing happened, those children need me, I pay too much effort for the League of the Justice, I don't allow others to tarnish the word justice."
"Yes, Mr. Bai, you ...... You are really a righteous person, a good person, and we blamed you wrongly before. Zhao Nan stood up excitedly, and Bai Wendi was startled: "Mr. Shao...... You're ......"
The reporter's voice was too loud, as if it was deliberately addressed to someone, but there were only two of them in the room, and the scene was a bit strange.
Zhao Nan said embarrassedly: "I am the most affectionate person, and I was excited when I heard Mr. Bai say this, don't be surprised." ”
"I grew up in that environment, and I couldn't do anything in the face of those painful cries, all I can do now is a kind of redemption, not anything great, reporter Shao, you praise it."
"Two big men, you praise me, I praise you, the flesh is not numb." A woman's voice sounded, and Bai Wendi followed the voice to see a woman with fair skin and bright red lips coming down the stairs.
"Miss Ye? Why are you here? ”
Bai Wendi stared at Ye Liang with wide eyes.
"Do you know that you are invited into the urn?"
Ye Quan looked at him with a smile: "Lawyer Bai, do you still insist that your organization is a position to help the poor and speak for the broad masses of laborers?" ”
Bai Wendi was dumbfounded: "I'...... We ......"
"Do you also believe that your alliance represents the fairness and justice of Shanghai?"
Zhao Nan saw that Bai Wendi's face was gray, and coughed on the side, Ye Quan smiled and said, "What's the matter, it's not straightforward." ”
Bai Wendi stood up, strode towards Ye Quan, and Zhao Nan shouted: "Mr. Bai, Mr. Bai, you can't mess around, you can't ......"
He was worried that Bai Wendi would attack Ye Limit in anger and would be hurt by Ye Limit.
Zhao Nan's words were not finished, because he saw Bai Wendi standing opposite Ye Liang and bent down deeply.
"Miss Ye, it was my fault that I didn't understand the facts before, and I apologize to you. I know that you have great powers, and you will definitely be able to find the plum blossoms and find those children who have been sold, I beg you, help me. ”
