Chapter 132 This is a targeted act of retaliation.
Bo Ye smiled gently at Lin Qingran and patted her head.
"It's just a superficial wound, don't worry, don't cry."
Lin Qingran finally lost control, suddenly hugged Boyi tightly, wrapped her arms around his waist, buried her face in his chest, and burst into tears.
Tears flowed like a burst dam, soaking Bo Ye's clothes.
Bo Ye was also touched by the sudden hug, and his eyes gradually reddened. He lowered his head slightly, rested his chin on Lin Qingran's head, gently stroked her back with one hand, and softly comforted her.
"Alright, alright, I'm fine, aren't I? Look, I'm back safe and sound, so why are you crying?"
Bo Shicheng looked at the two embracing, coughed lightly, and stepped forward.
"Don't just focus on being sad. The most important thing right now is to find clues."
Susukino heard the sound and looked up in surprise.
Upon seeing his second brother, whom he hadn't seen for many years, his expression instantly became awkward.
He frowned slightly, his eyes filled with suspicion and disdain, and snorted coldly.
"Oh, what a rare guest! Second Brother, what brings you to the police station? I suppose you're not worried about my well-being, are you? Are you on your deathbed and just waiting for me to show up so you can take me to the hospital for tissue matching and surgery right away?"
Bo Ye's lips curled into a mocking smile, his eyes filled with deep wariness, as if Bo Shicheng in front of him was not a relative, but a treacherous enemy.
Bo Shicheng was slightly taken aback by Bo Ye's words, a hint of helplessness and bitterness flashing across his face, but he quickly regained his composure.
"Third brother, you still love to overthink things. Now is not the time to talk about these things."
Bo Ye remained unmoved, still staring intently at Bo Shicheng, as if trying to find a flaw in his expression.
Bo Shicheng's eyes dimmed slightly, and a look of desolation followed him. He lowered his head slightly, remained silent for a moment, and then repeated in a low voice.
"Finding the child is the priority."
Bo Ye's brows furrowed instantly, and the distrust in his eyes turned into anxiety.
"What? Both children are missing too?"
His voice unconsciously rose a few decibels, his body leaned slightly forward, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists.
Lin Qingran held Bo Ye's hand, tears welling up in her eyes again, and quickly recounted what had happened.
"Shortly after you disappeared, I discovered the children were also missing. I suspect Fu Xiuheng; he knew the children were missing all along, but he hasn't shown up. Perhaps he orchestrated this whole thing!"
Bo Ye listened, frowning inwardly, but quickly shook his head.
"No, he hates me to the core. If it were him, with his methods, I wouldn't have been found so easily. I don't think it's him behind this. As for why he hasn't shown up yet... maybe he himself has met with misfortune."
A hint of doubt flashed in Bo Ye's eyes. He paced back and forth, his steps hurried and flustered, as if he was trying to piece together the clues in his mind.
Lin Qingran also gasped. Could it be that Fu Xiuheng was also part of the scheme?
Thinking of this, her face turned deathly pale, and the anxiety in her eyes burned even brighter like flames.
Her fingers trembled slightly as she quickly tapped on her phone screen to dial Fu Xiuheng's number.
Each sound of waiting felt like a heavy blow to her heart; her breathing became rapid and disordered, her eyes filled with anticipation and unease.
However, despite repeated calls, no one answered. Just like when Bo Ye disappeared that morning, Fu Xiuheng and Lu An seemed to have vanished into thin air.
Undeterred, Lin Qingran dialed again, but still received no response.
Her lips began to tremble slightly, the panic in her eyes became more and more obvious, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
"How could this happen? Why aren't they answering their phones?"
Lin Qingran murmured to herself, her voice tinged with a sob.
She turned and rushed toward the police in a panic, clutching her phone tightly in both hands as if grasping at her last glimmer of hope.
"Officer, I can't get in touch with Fu Xiuheng. When the child went missing this morning, I notified him immediately. He was very worried and immediately planned to buy a plane ticket to Yuncheng, but now more than half a day has passed and he still hasn't shown up! There's definitely something wrong!"
Lin Qingran spoke rapidly, her eyes fixed on the police officer.
The police officer nodded solemnly. "Please don't worry, we will investigate immediately."
Bo Shicheng watched all this silently from the side, his brows furrowed slightly, his eyes filled with contemplation.
He then took out his phone and dialed his assistant's number.
"Help me investigate Fu Xiuheng's whereabouts and his recent movements. This is very important, the sooner the better."
Bo Ye and Lin Qingran entered the police station's interrogation room together. After a long day and being injured, Bo Ye looked slightly tired and spoke in a hoarse voice as he recounted the whole story.
“My assistant Qi Xinglan and I were going out this morning to meet with a client for a temporary project. Because we had other work to do afterward and time was tight, we thought we would take a shortcut to save time, so we took that side road. Who knew we would suddenly get into a car accident, and we both passed out. When we woke up, we were already in the suburbs, and our phones were gone.”
The police officer nodded as he took notes, speaking with a serious expression.
"According to our investigation, the road where your accident occurred is indeed the only way to your destination, and there are no surveillance cameras on that road. We believe that this incident was deliberately orchestrated. They made you disappear briefly to lure you away and make it easier to harm the child. Judging from all the signs so far, the person who harmed you and the person who kidnapped the child are in cahoots, and this kidnapping is not for money, but more like an act of revenge."
Lin Qingran stood to the side, her eyes fixed on the police officer, her brows furrowed.
She murmured softly, "Revenge? Who could it be?"
Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes, and she blurted it out.
"Could it be Zhou Lan?"
Susukino looked up, his face full of surprise.
"Zhou Lan?"
If Zhou Lan were to take action, things would unfold much faster than they anticipated.
However, transferring the children to Beijing in a short period of time is not an easy task; they would likely be intercepted by the police en route.
This can only mean that the children haven't gone far, and Zhou Lan may have also come to Yuncheng.
Lin Qingran slapped his forehead. It was all his fault for being so focused on things in Nancheng after he came back that he forgot to keep an eye on Zhou Lan's movements.
Perhaps it was during these few days, when Lin Qingran was trying to uncover more of the truth, that Zhou Lan chose to take a desperate gamble.
