Chapter 549 Tiger Cub Disappears (2)
What was this woman's name again, "Ding"? Luo Ning didn't know. (x23us)
"You've been loitering around here without knowing what's happened in the village. My little nephew, Huwa, has been stolen."
Your actions are nothing more than covering up child abduction; human trafficking is a capital offense! You'll be executed!
You now have two choices: First, confess and be lenient; second, I'll beat you until you confess!
Personally, I lean towards the latter. I haven't hit anyone in ages, my hands are itching!
Luo Ning flexed his wrists, cracking his knuckles.
"I'll talk!" Aunt Ding was almost paralyzed with fear. She had personally witnessed Luo Ning hitting people, and the thought of those punches hitting her made her want to collapse.
"You're smart to know what's good for you!" Luo Ning crossed his arms, waiting for what was to come.
"I heard a noise at night, so I got dressed and went to see what was going on. As soon as I went out, I saw Boss Wang coming towards me. He gave me five yuan and told me to wander around the road construction area. I didn't know their purpose was to steal children..."
The more Ding's sister-in-law thought about it, the more frightened she became, and her pupils contracted sharply.
"Luoning, you are the clan leader, you must testify for me! I was deceived by them, I did not abduct children!"
Holy crap, her brother-in-law is right.
That simpleton Wang is actually Li Laoguai's lackey; most people wouldn't notice.
Luo Baiwan was also very surprised. In his impression, Wang Laoda was both simple-minded and lazy, and he was the dumbest of the Wang brothers.
He never expected that the dumbest one would be so ruthless in doing such a despicable thing.
Luo Ning gave Ding's wife a cold look, then gestured forward with her lip, "Back to the village!"
"Hey!" Sister Ding seized the opportunity faster than a rabbit.
Luo Ning and the other two deliberately slowed down their pace and discussed their strategy behind them.
“A few months ago, Old Lady Wang led her whole family to the workshop and made a scene, but then there was no more news. I thought they had changed their ways, but I didn’t expect they had found a shortcut to get rich!” Luo Baiwan curled his lips and looked up to find that Sister Ding was gone.
"Da Ya, aren't you just letting that woman go back too easily?"
"I never said I was going to let her go!" Luo Ning's eyes were filled with icy coldness, and his whole demeanor was somewhat sinister.
Luo Baiwan nodded. "So what do we do now?"
"Dad, go home and get some sleep!" Luo Ning smiled. Her father wasn't old, but he wasn't young either. He had to go to work tomorrow, and it was already late. If he stayed up any later, he wouldn't be able to get up!
"No need. I've been worried sick about Tiger Cub and can't sleep."
When our family had our troubles, we were so grateful for the help from Tie Jun and his wife. Now that their family is in trouble, how can I go to sleep?
Besides, Tiger Cub's disappearance is because of our family. I can't rest easy until he comes back!
Luo Baiwan was worried. Although Huwa was quite clever, he was too young and had no ability to protect himself.
In addition, they are good-looking and healthy, making them the most popular children among families without children. Once a tiger cub is abducted, it is easy to sell him.
We must find that child as soon as possible, otherwise we may never find him again.
Luo Ning understood his father's thoughts; they felt the same way, so he stopped trying to persuade him.
Walking beside Luo Ning, Xie Chang'an suddenly felt a pang of sympathy for her. He had no idea about his father-in-law's accident, and Luo Ning had single-handedly supported her family without ever mentioning it to him.
Under the cover of night, he tentatively explored the edge of holding hands.
Luo Ning slapped him away, muttering, "It's getting cold, and there are still these annoying mosquitoes!"
Xie Chang'an sighed inwardly. His wife was still angry. What should he do?
Luo Baiwan saw through it but didn't say anything. He felt quite regretful about what happened between Daya and Chang'an.
He liked Chang'an quite a bit, but Daya was his own daughter, and he hoped that Daya would have a better future.
"Da Ya, shall we go find Boss Wang?"
Luo Ning shook his head, "Dad, that idiot Wang wouldn't know anything. He doesn't even know who his superior is. As long as there's money, he'll do whatever his superior tells him to do. He won't think too much! You can see right through a fool's thought process. He won't even try to think straight."
We can go see him again if we need to. Right now, we're short on time, so we need to use it wisely.
You take the village road, and Xie Chang'an and I will walk on either side, searching from here into the village. It would be best if we could find Huwa.
If we can't find it, we'll just have to go home and wait for my brother-in-law's group, and then we'll discuss what to do next!
Her words were echoed by Luo Baiwan and Xie Chang'an, and the three of them went their separate ways.
When they entered the village and finally found Luo Ning's house, all three of them were empty-handed, so they had no choice but to go home and wait.
"Dad, besides the road at the village entrance, are there any other roads leading to the town?" Luo Ning leaned back on the sofa, his eyes gleaming.
When they were rejected by the village, her brother-in-law told them to leave the village by another route, since there were at least two routes in the village.
"Yes, there's a main road at the village entrance, and a small path at the foot of the back mountain that leads out of the village. People going down to the village are using that path to get in and out!" Luo Baiwan explained clearly.
Just then, Wang Tiejun and Liu Chunsheng returned, but they also found nothing.
“Big cousin, we’ve searched that path for a long time, but we haven’t found any useful clues, and we haven’t seen Zhang Caixia either.”
Wang Tiejun stood in the main room, his eyes red and swollen, as if he had been boiled alive. He still couldn't accept the fact that Huwa had disappeared.
That child suffered a lot since birth, and only had a few comfortable days this year. If he were to be kidnapped and sold, he couldn't even imagine what would happen next...
"Brother-in-law, don't worry too much, we'll definitely find Tiger!" Luo Ning poured a cup of tea and handed it to Wang Tiejun, who was feeling unwell, and brought up the events of the past few days.
"Why don't you go home and check if Tiger Cub is wearing the silver bracelet?"
Wang Tiejun's eyes lit up, as if he had seen a glimmer of hope.
"He really likes the silver bracelet you gave him. He always wears it with him and doesn't even want to take it off when he sleeps!"
Luo Ning secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She had given Huwa the silver bracelet to guard against Jian Yin, but it turned out to be useless. Being prepared is always beneficial; at least now she could relax a little.
"As long as the silver bracelet is there, Tiger Cub's safety shouldn't be a problem!"
Brother-in-law, Tiger is missing, my sister is bedridden, you're the family's only hope. If you make yourself sick from worry, who will look for Tiger?
The silver needles inside the silver bracelet can paralyze the enemy for six hours, and he still has at least eight silver needles left.
Human traffickers wouldn't be so ruthless as to send eight people at once to capture Tiger Cub.
There is hope as long as he escapes within an hour.
Of course, they couldn't pin their hopes on Tiger Cub escaping; the child was too young, and might be so frightened by what happened that he wouldn't remember the secret of the silver bracelet at all.
They needed to find him as soon as possible; Luo Ning's mind raced...
Wang Tiejun pursed his lips and nodded. Luo Ning was right; he couldn't fall down. Huwa was still waiting for him to save him.
Seeing that time was ticking away, Liu Chunsheng became anxious. "Big cousin, what should we do now? Should I arrest Li Laoguai?"
