The group quickly took their positions, with Xu Xiuhe comforting Zhengzheng, who was still hungry.
Xu Xiuhe was anxious, as Liu Bo had some news, and Xue Jingrui had also utilized his connections to help search.
When Xue Jingrui had just asked whether to report to the police, Xu Xiuhe was initially inclined to agree, but he felt that relying on themselves would be better than relying on others.
Xue Jingrui felt that more people meant more strength.
Xue Jingrui reported the case to the police and began checking various surveillance videos. He discovered that the perpetrator was very familiar with that area, riding an electric scooter that appeared in the videos only at the beginning and then disappeared.
This indicated that the kidnapper had avoided all surveillance, causing them great difficulty.
On Liu Bo's side, he had gathered a lot of information. He sent people to find those who had seen the delivery person based on the order's starting location.
People from the vegetable market said that this delivery person had been in the area for a few months, didn't talk much, and they were unaware of his character.
Upon learning this, Xu Xiuhe spent a significant sum to obtain surveillance videos of the area and hired many people to watch them. After over an hour, they finally located the kidnapper's residence.
Xue Jingrui also brought two police officers and rushed to the kidnapper's home to meet up with Xu Xiuhe and the others.
In front of the police officers, Xu Xiuhe kicked open the old wooden door of the dilapidated house.
Inside, the floor was littered with instant noodle cups and mineral water bottles.
The bedding was bundled into a heap, nestled together. The entire room had a strange odor, both foul and sour, even with a hint of musty dampness.
The two police officers covered their noses, looking disgusted.
"You two, search and see if there are any suspicious items," Xue Jingrui instructed.
The two police officers immediately sprang into action, quickly searching the premises.
They found a bag of powder under the table, and one of the officers smelled it and said after opening the powder, "It's not poison."
The other officer said, "But it seems like one of those powerful sedatives that have appeared recently. If sprayed, it would cause immediate unconsciousness and make someone pass out."
Xu Xiuhe and Xue Jingrui exchanged glances.
"Take this back as evidence first," Xue Jingrui said.
"What about you two?" The two police officers looked at each other, unsure what else they needed to do besides taking the powder back.
When they came, the chief had specifically instructed them not to neglect the person surnamed Xue.
The two police officers did as instructed.
Xu Xiuhe continued rummaging through the room and found an ID card in the drawer of the bedside table.
Confirming the identity would make things easier.
Liu Bo was also continuing his investigation.
"This person's name is Wang Zhihao. Do you know him?" Xue Jingrui asked Xu Xiuhe.
Xu Xiuhe held the ID card and stared at it for several seconds but had no recollection. Of course, he wouldn't know the perpetrator personally, as who would want to harm someone and do it themselves?
"From Yang City?" Xue Jingrui muttered.
"Yang City?" Xu Xiuhe suddenly thought of something.
He immediately sent the photo to Liu Bo, and Xue Jingrui also sent it to the people at the police station.
Soon, they received a response from the police station.
"We've got it. This person has a criminal record and has been in prison before," Xue Jingrui told Xu Xiuhe.
Xu Xiuhe suddenly remembered that Shen Yin had mentioned she had a childhood sweetheart.
That guy had been in prison before, so could it be that he's now seeking revenge on Shen Yin, for money or for something else?
Xu Xiuhe didn't have time to think too much. He had to find Shen Yin as soon as possible.
Xu Xiuhe took the man's ID card and left the damp, dirty, and musty rental room.
Liu Bo's call came in at that moment.
"Any progress?" Xu Xiuhe asked.
"A little. He was in prison before and only came to Rong City three months ago. He's been delivering around Qinghe Street. I found a technician who tracked his movements over the past ten days and discovered he visited an abandoned factory in the north of Rong City."
"Send me the location of the factory. I'm going there now."
Upon hearing this, Liu Bo sent the location to Xu Xiuhe.
Xu Xiuhe was about to drive there, but he panicked. Several thoughts flashed through his mind again.
The kidnapper hadn't called him yet, and he was afraid. If it was for money, he wouldn't be this worried, as he could solve any problem with money.
"I'll drive," Xue Jingrui said, worried that Xu Xiuhe's panic might cause an accident on the road.
"Contact the police and have them go to this address too," Xu Xiuhe said.
Xue Jingrui opened his phone and dialed a number.
"Head to an abandoned factory in the north of Rong City. The kidnapper may be there."
In the abandoned factory in the north of Rong City, Shen Yin was still unconscious, her hands and feet bound tightly with iron chains.
The man stood in front of Shen Yin, looking at her with a predatory gaze.
He took a bottle of mineral water, unscrewed the cap, and tilted it over Shen Yin's head, pouring the water down.
The entire bottle of water flowed through Shen Yin's hair.
Shen Yin opened her eyes and looked at everything in front of her, slightly dazed, wondering if she was dreaming again. This time, she saw the kidnapper's face.
"You're awake."
The water from her hair dripped down, wetting her clothes. Shen Yin realized this wasn't a dream, but what had happened in her dream had actually occurred.
Shen Yin began to recall that she had gone downstairs to retrieve a food delivery when she lost consciousness, and the next time she woke up, she was here.
"Who are you, and why did you kidnap me?" Shen Yin had a special quality of being able to remain calm in difficult situations.
"Sweetheart, do you really not know who I am? Think about it. You can figure it out."
Shen Yin did rack her brain, but she genuinely couldn't remember who this man was, she swears she tried her best.
Shen Yin defiantly raised her head, "I don't know you."
"Baby, how could you not know me? We have a marriage agreement." The man's face moved closer.
Shen Yin felt disgusted, the man's breath was even more foul than his words.
"I don't have a marriage agreement. I'm already married," Shen Yin remained calm.
The situation had now changed, differing slightly from the dream, as the man didn't immediately resort to violence.
"No, you're engaged. You unfaithful woman, how could you forget me? I'm your fiancé." The man continued to say.
Shen Yin realized with a start that she thought this matter was over, but she didn't expect this person to come looking for her again.
"I don't know. If I'm not mistaken, we had agreed that if I got married before the age of 22, the childhood engagement would be canceled. Now my child is already two months and four weeks old. And I just turned 24. So please don't talk nonsense."
