A gust of cold wind blew in from outside the window. Wei Zhe stared fixedly at his biological father. After a few seconds, he suddenly smiled, and his eyes were filled with gentleness. The young man stood up and said politely, "I have something to do later. Excuse me."
After he finished speaking, he nodded slightly at the few people present. When he left, his posture was very calm. It was impossible to associate him with the violent young man from before. However, his strides were very large. In the blink of an eye, he left the cold and gorgeous private room.
"This …" The principal smiled awkwardly and said, "Mr. Wei, if you have something to do, we'll meet again next time."
"It's fine." Wei He shook his head indifferently. He picked up the wine glass beside him and took a sip. The wine was rich and fragrant, and the aftertaste lingered in his mouth.
His son was much more patient than he had expected.
"Then let's continue eating. Eat …" The principal smiled apologetically and signaled the other two teachers to find something to say to liven up the atmosphere.
***
As soon as Wei Zhe walked out of the hotel, he took out his phone and called Uncle Li. "What the hell is going on?"
Uncle Li was about to go crazy. He didn't dare to hide the truth and told Wei Zhe the whole story. After he parted ways with Wei Jing at noon, he followed Wei Min and his cousin around the amusement park. When it was almost five o 'clock, he wanted to bring someone to pick up Wei Jing.
Who knew that the Lü Tianyou would suddenly be hit by a bicycle and break his arms and knees?
Uncle Li had no choice but to accompany him to the hospital. He took an X-ray and negotiated compensation. In the end, the sky unknowingly turned dark.
When he brought Wei Min to look for Wei Jing again, they found that … they couldn't find him at all.
And coincidentally, they weren't the only ones looking for the child. They heard that the son of the artist who organized the art exhibition, Xu Jiaming, was also missing. They had already confirmed that the child was kidnapped through the surveillance camera at the entrance of KFC. They had already called the police, and the police had already started to investigate the surveillance cameras along the way.
However, the kidnappers were very cunning. Not only did they take detours along the way, they often walked in the blind spots of the surveillance cameras.
As soon as Uncle Li heard this, he knew that things were bad. He shamelessly went to KFC and asked to check the surveillance footage, saying that his family's young master was also missing. When he saw it … half of his soul flew away, and his legs turned to jelly. He had lost the Wei family's child. How could the Wei family forgive him?
What he didn't expect was that Mr. Wei didn't seem to care about the child at all.
Just as he heaved a sigh of relief, he was shocked by Wei Zhe's questioning call.
"I'm sorry, I really didn't expect this to happen." Uncle Li sincerely apologized. His words were full of regret and disgust for the kidnappers. "That group of shameless people. How could they do such a wicked thing as kidnapping children?"
To be honest, Uncle Li was at fault for not taking care of the children. However, it was also wrong for Wei Jing to insist on going to the art exhibition alone.
However, now wasn't the time to pursue the matter. Wei Zhe quickly went through the whole process in his mind. After focusing on a few doubts, he asked in a deep voice, "Where is Wei Min's cousin? Where is he? "
"Him?" Uncle Li was stunned. "I don't know. We separated at the hospital."
"Where is Wei Min now?"
"I sent him back to the old mansion."
"Okay, I got it." Wei Zhe hung up the phone and quickly made a call to the police station. The person who answered the phone was a girl with a gentle voice. Wei Zhe didn't have any tender feelings for the girl. He directly asked about the investigation of the kidnapping that happened this afternoon.
The girl more or less knew a little, but she wasn't willing to say it clearly. She just said perfunctorily that the police would handle this matter.
Wei Zhe pursed his lips and said sternly, "My younger brother was among the people who were kidnapped today. Do you know who he is? Get your chief to answer the phone. If my younger brother is missing, do you know about the mall that is going to be built in the western suburbs? That's my father's money. If my younger brother can't be found, I think there's no need to talk about this matter. "
Right now, the city center of B City was rapidly expanding and the population was increasing. The city intended to build a super mall along the city center to stimulate the economy.
How big would the mall be when it was ready to be excavated? More than half of the people in B City knew about it. Now that the girl heard it, whether Wei Zhe was scaring her or not, she didn't dare to make a decision.
She reported it to the higher-ups one after another. When the people in the police station heard it, they couldn't wait to tear the kidnappers apart.
It was already troublesome enough to lose the son of Painter Xu. Even though Xu Jiaming was only a slightly famous painter, he had connections! Among his friends, there was no lack of people of noble status. The police station was already in a half-crazy state and all of them were mobilized to search for him.
Now, there was also the young master of the Wei family. This … really didn't give them a way out!
Wei Zhe was respectfully invited to the police station and met with Xu Jiaming and his wife, who were anxiously waiting.
If it were any other day, they might have chatted and gotten to know each other. After all, one more friend meant one more path to take. But now that the most important person to them was missing, neither of them had the mood to talk. They nodded at each other and didn't say much.
The people in the police station followed Wei Zhe's request and showed him the surveillance video. It was a blurry video and a familiar abduction method from the future.
"It was a premeditated kidnapping." Wei Zhe pondered for a while and pointed at the surveillance video. He said, "Look, these people were sitting here without moving. From where they were sitting, they could see the art exhibition that was being held across the street through the glass."
"Yes, yes." The policemen, who were originally at a loss for what to do about this kidnapping case, were suddenly enlightened. It was good that they had a clue. They could follow this clue to arrest the kidnappers. They were just afraid that they would have no clue.
"Then …" Wei Zhe pointed at another surveillance video. "When Xiaojing and the others came out of the art exhibition, all the people in the shop looked over there. This should be to confirm who they wanted to kidnap."
Although they weren't in the same surveillance video, it could be inferred from the time.
"A premeditated kidnapping and knowing that the two children were in the art exhibition …" Wei Zhe turned his head and said to Xu Jiaming and his wife, who were listening attentively, "I want to ask, have you made any enemies recently?"
"No." Xu Jiaming thought carefully and shook his head without hesitation.
He was proud of his success recently. Plus, he had a good personality and a lot of friends. As for enemies … At most, he had some conflicts before, but there was no one who wanted to kidnap his son.
"And we brought Xiaohui to the art exhibition today. It was a last-minute idea." Xu Jiaming's wife said with red eyes, "He was by my side before, and so was Xiaojing until this afternoon when he said he was hungry. I wanted to take him out to eat, but he took Xiaojing and ran away. At that time, I happened to meet an old acquaintance. I thought that he came here often, so I didn't chase after them."
"If only I knew … If only I knew …" Mrs. Xu began to cry as she spoke.
Xu Jiaming was also a little dissatisfied with his wife, but after all, they were close friends. Plus, she looked like she was about to break down, so he couldn't blame her at all.
"Then … these people should be here for my brother." Without hesitation, Wei Zhe told her his judgment. "My brother came out alone this afternoon. In the morning, someone from my family followed him, but this group of people didn't appear."
"In the afternoon, Mr. Li followed Wei Min to the amusement park. They had agreed to pick up Xiaojing before dark, but coincidentally, Wei Min's cousin was hit by a bicycle and was sent to the hospital."
Wei Zhe sneered. "Even more coincidentally, Wei Min's mother planned a car accident not long ago to kill me."
"Don't you think … these coincidences are a little too much?"
"Then we …" The people at the police station were still a little confused.
"What are you waiting for?" Wei Zhe's voice suddenly became fierce, and his face was gloomy. "If you don't arrest them now, are you waiting for them to run away and then slowly investigate?"
"Yes, yes, yes …"
The policemen, who were at least twice as old as Wei Jing, were like mice that had seen a cat. They shrank their tails and moved quickly.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Wei Jing held Xu Jiahui's hand and found a big rock. This area was too remote, and there was no place to hide from the rain. The sound of the rain covered their ears, and the rain blocked their sight. In addition, Wei Jing did not hesitate to hit the rock hard.
The kidnappers were also afraid that someone would die. The three of them hesitated for a while. In the end, one of the big men carried the man back to the yard. They planned to stop the bleeding first and then deal with the man after they caught him.
The other two men continued to chase after Wei Jing and Xu Jiahui.
But it was enough. In just a short while, Wei Jing had already run far away with the child.
At this time, the two of them had reached the limit of their physical strength and could not move forward anymore.
Wei Jing looked at Xu Jiahui, who was shivering in the cold. His face had turned pale. Wei Jing was also very cold, and there seemed to be a chill in the crevices of his bones.
The blood on his forehead had already dried, and the wound on his back was faintly painful after being hit by the bean-sized raindrops.
Wei Jing hesitated for a moment. He took off his jacket and threw it to Xu Jiahui. He said, "Wait for me here. I'm going to look for something. I'll be back soon."
"No … don't." The big man not only hurt Xu Jiahui's throat, but also his courage. He held Wei Jing's hand. "I … I'll go with you. I don't want to be alone."
"Don't worry, I'll be back soon. Wait for me." Wei Jing comforted him in a low voice. Then, he walked forward in the heavy rain.
He picked up some sturdy branches from the ground and casually picked up a large leaf. He carried it back to the original place. The child first put the leaf under the rock, then put the branch on the rock bit by bit, just like a bird building a nest. In the end, Wei Jing put his coat outside the tree branch, trying his best to keep the rain out.
The two children, who were six or seven years old, held hands and leaned against each other. They huddled in the last little jacket to keep each other warm.
