Rebirth 78: Hunting for Treasure in the Mountains, Spoiling My Wife and Daughter to the Heavens

"Hurry back inside and take care of Jia Huan. The house needs someone. What if Jia Cheng just ran off to play for a moment?"

That's how little boys are at this age; they're mischievous, like little monkeys.

I'll hurry to the brigade headquarters and have the village chief take a loudspeaker and search the entire village.

Fendou Village has not yet been fully connected to electricity.

There wasn't a loudspeaker that could broadcast messages throughout the entire village.

All there is is a small handheld megaphone.

He helped Li Xiulian into the house.

Zhao Yangyang locked the outer door when he left.

She was afraid that Li Xiulian might do something rash and bring Jia Huan out to look for people again.

He swung his arms and ran into the brigade's courtyard.

Panting heavily, she pulled up Village Chief Huang, who was drinking tea.

"Sizzle."

The scalding hot tea spilled all over Village Chief Huang's crotch.

Before Village Chief Huang could get angry, Zhao Yangyang blurted out, "Lu Jiacheng is missing!!"

"What!!"

Huang Guangzu immediately became anxious.

When Lu Weiguo passed away, he vowed to protect Lu Weiguo's wife and children with the help of his ancestors for eighteen generations.

But in just a few days, his eldest son has disappeared!

"Speak properly! Where did it go?! I heard the weasels have been kidnapping children lately..."

"Catch her my ass!! Even if Grandma Hu San came, she can't cause trouble like this. You hurry up and take the loudspeaker to search the whole village!"

Zhao Yangyang finally caught his breath and shouted, startling the young men working outside.

These people were all called by Huang Guangzu to help set up the purchasing station.

Upon hearing that it was Lu Weiguo's eldest son, the God of Wealth, who had gone missing.

Whether it ran away on its own because it was playing or was taken away by Wong Tai Sin.

I put on my coat and ran out to look for it.

Many hands make light work.

In addition, Huang Guangzu would ride his bicycle around the village with a loudspeaker, shouting slogans.

Several old men came to the village committee compound.

Upon seeing Zhao Yangyang, he said, "I saw that little guy this morning; he ran off to the south all by himself."

There aren't many children in Lu Jiacheng's group.

Moreover, there aren't many households in the entire village.

The elderly in the village must be able to identify the wrong child.

"South end? Have we left the village?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yangyang swayed slightly, as the south-facing direction was towards the county town.

If you walk straight out of the village, it's less than a kilometer away, and there's an intersection with the forestry area.

The forestry industry is currently focused on hauling timber before the Lunar New Year to boost performance targets.

There are many cars and people there; what if something happens...?

Fortunately, she went out on her own and wasn't kidnapped by human traffickers.

"I don't know, but it's been a while."

Once you have a direction, finding the right people becomes much easier.

Zhao Yangyang spoke with the young people in the village and asked them to take the village chief there to look for him.

He thought about it for a long time before daring to dial the police number.

She knew Lu Weiguo had gone to the police station, and she was determined to try her luck no matter what.

Police station, office.

Besides Lu Weiguo and Lao Liu, there were also many other police station chiefs from subordinate police stations.

In addition to recognizing Lu Weiguo, this meeting also included other activities.

There was also an analysis of the six-fingered human trafficker and recollections of dividing the area.

The bonuses have all been distributed.

Old Liu asked Lu Weiguo to write down the characteristics of human traffickers he had heard about on a blackboard.

"Based on what I heard while arresting human traffickers, and the analysis I've done over the past few days, I can confirm that their leader has the following characteristics."

First, they have six fingers. This is very important, and it's definitely not a disguise. They are human traffickers; they can't give themselves such an obvious feature.

Secondly, this person is extremely good at disguising himself. The several people who have met him have given different descriptions, but they all share one characteristic: he likes to wear a mole on his face.

However, the location of the mole is uncertain.

Thirdly, this person has an extremely low profile. This is a natural human characteristic. I don't know if you've heard of people like this before: average-looking, with a soft voice, you wouldn't notice them even if they were standing in a crowd or right behind you.

And also... this person definitely has deep wrinkles between their brows. A murderer, a ruthless human trafficker, trying to feign a low profile—that murderous aura would definitely manifest in other ways.

This is something I've considered, and you can use it as a reference.

A skilled human trafficker is really hard to find, and you never know if he'll be carrying the abducted child with him.

Or rather, he disposed of the child after discovering that the other traffickers had already been arrested.

Lu Weiguo dared not think any further.

Just as he finished speaking, a young policeman rushed in in a panic.

Old Liu turned his head and looked over. "Didn't you know they were in a meeting? Even if the sky were to fall, you couldn't come in!"

"Director Liu... is... bigger than... even if the sky were to fall."

The policeman spoke in a trembling voice.

He was one of the people who had personally witnessed Lu Weiguo protecting his deceased brother.

He had also personally witnessed how Lu Weiguo treated one of the people who had kidnapped his wife.

"Bigger than the sky falling down? What? Zhao Kaishan is dead too?"

Old Liu stood up, frowning as he spoke.

"No...it's Lu...Brother Lu..."

"Hmm?" Lu Weiguo, who had just sat down, got up and walked over.

The young policeman was almost in tears, but after being punched hard by Old Liu, he mustered up the courage to say, "I just received a call from someone named Zhao Yangyang. She said... she said..."

In his panic, the young policeman stammered, but he had to get to the point, so he finally shouted, "Lu Weiguo's son went missing this morning!!!"

boom!!!

Instantly, the entire conference room erupted in a loud bang.

Everyone who came to the meeting stood up and looked at Lu Weiguo.

"Did they get lost, or were they kidnapped?"

Lu Weiguo's voice remained calm, revealing no emotion whatsoever.

But the more this happened, the more worried everyone inside became.

They were having a meeting to discuss the last human trafficker.

Knowing the ruthlessness of human traffickers and the evidence of their crimes.

That's not a soft-hearted person.

"I don't know, but they said someone walked out of the village, saying they were afraid of encountering danger at the crossroads. They haven't seen any strangers in the village."

The young police officer was quite skilled and had already ascertained the details of the matter beforehand.

He described the events from beginning to end.

"I understand, Brother Liu. Could you please send a car to take me back?"

After Lu Weiguo finished speaking, he walked outside.

And in his mind, he began to recall the people and events he had experienced in the past few days.

From the moment I arrived in the county town.

They found the human traffickers.

In the end, they brought the child back.

I went through it carefully in my mind, bit by bit, again and again.

Even when Lao Liu got into the car with him, he didn't say anything.

"Lu, it's alright. That guy named Wang Jiawen can't be that coincidental..."

"I guess he's just being playful..." Old Liu said without much conviction.

"Brother Liu, I need your help with something." Lu Weiguo didn't answer until they were almost at the village, then said, "Gather all the parents and children together and ask them again if they've encountered anything strange."
