Chapter 73 Breakthrough

Chapter 73 Breakthrough
Yan Youwei and Xia Xiaoqiao sat in the cafe opposite the hospital for a long time.

Xia Xiaoqiao finally found an outlet to vent. The grievances hidden in her heart all these years couldn't bear it for a while, and she vomited out all the grievances like beans poured out of a bamboo tube.

From how she met Nie Kun and who chased who later, he looked quite normal when he was in love with his family, and there was nothing unusual when he first got married.But slowly his mood became worse and worse.The business situation of the family's magazine has been deteriorating since he took over, and it looks like it's doing well on the surface, but it's actually struggling to make ends meet, which made Xia Xiaoqiao secretly want to find a job to do it.But every time she mentioned job hunting, Nie Kun would fly into a rage, accusing her of disliking him as an old worker who couldn't earn money or support his wife.So she can only give up again and again.

Xia Xiaoqiao said with a hint of disdain on her face: "It sounds like something is going on, but in fact, the magazine is about to close down. The Mercedes-Benz he drives was also bought with money from the company's loan. It's just a window dressing Yes. If even the car is looked down upon, the bank would have come to collect the debt early in the morning. The wall fell down and everyone pushed him. He thought he had so much ability, but now he is just at the end of his strength, and it will be a matter of time. Divorce is divorce, What's the big deal, maybe I'd be better off without him. I'll be beaten by him all day long if I don't have any money, and take it out on me whenever something goes wrong, and treat me like a human sandbag? Parents-in-law and mother-in-law He was about to die of anger, my father-in-law scolded him several times for not being able to grow up, but he was still not convinced, and his father slapped me once for being stubborn. Outsiders don't know about this kind of thing, so I don't know anything about it."

Therefore, when couples get divorced, most of them have nothing good to say.Yan Youwei recalled that when she and Zeng Zimu divorced in the past, both of them finally gave each other face, and there was no bad word about each other after they separated.From this point of view, Yan Youwei felt that Zeng Zimu was very righteous.Because if he wants to discredit himself, it is too easy. Whatever he says can be magnified countless times. When it is passed to her ears, the taste will have changed to the point where he can't taste the original. Here comes the smell.

She persuaded Xia Xiaoqiao: "Forget it, we decided to get a divorce, and he still said what he did with those things. Thinking about it, I feel bad. Why don't you just forget about it and start your life again, at least you won't have to be beaten anymore."

"The more I think about it, the more it's not worth it. If I don't say it, I feel panicked. At that time, he was always bragging in front of me, how many billions he would make every year for me to squander. Pooh, he has to owe a few dollars a year now. Tens of millions, where is the money coming in. The brilliance of the family is all supported by loans. Once the bank thinks of demanding debts one day, it will not be able to pay off those debts if all the assets of our family are sold. People are not only incompetent, but also very small-minded. The last time the interview your newspaper did for Zeng Zimu came out, he bought it back and read it that day. After reading it, he sulked and scratched the newspaper with a pen. After scratching, I felt puzzled and tore it up again. I accidentally went to the trash can to throw something, and found that he had made the face on Zeng Zimu’s photo look like a ghost. At that time, I thought this guy was too small and a pervert. If you drink too much, you will yell at me, saying that Zeng Zimu means good fate and good reincarnation. If he is the chairman of Zhimei, he will be as brilliant today. I think you will pull it down. Your magazine passed it to you back then. It was worth at least eight figures when it was launched. Now that the debt is more than eight figures, you are ashamed to brag. If Zhimei is in your hands, you will probably lose faster and lose more."

"Narrow-minded people in this world are like this. It is estimated that the total number of people who are jealous of Zeng Zimu's good family background is probably more than the total population of the Vatican. Listen to it and let it go, there is no need to take it seriously. Anyway, he can't become a beauty. President."

"I told him the same. One time he drank too much again and came back to make a big fuss with me, saying that he was unlucky and unlucky. Since he begged me, he has been unlucky all the way. He talked about Zeng Zimu again. I was also angry that day, thinking that my in-laws were at home, I guess he would not dare to do anything to me, so I yelled at him back. I said that the wife Zeng Zimu married could not help his career, and he was divorced Well, Zhimei is not booming. I have no ability to be jealous of others. In the end, he said nonsense, saying that Zhimei should belong to him, he is the son of the Zeng family, and Zeng Zimu is a counterfeit. I think he is crazy Now, I am willing to be someone's son because of the property of the Zeng family. I don't know what my parents-in-law will think when they hear this, but raising a piece of char siu is better than raising a bastard like him."

Yan Youwei was sitting there just to listen to Xia Xiaoqiao venting, so that she could feel better.I didn't expect to hear something different after listening to it.It would be fine if she hadn't heard Sun Jinyang mention Zeng Zhiquan's illegitimate child before.But Sun Jinyang just talked to her, and the words he said are still deeply engraved in his mind.Now that Xia Xiaoqiao mentioned Nie Kun's drunken words again, Yan Youwei had to be concerned.

They all say the truth after drinking.The more things that are not tolerated by the world, the easier it is to be revealed after drinking.Why does Nie Kun always target Zeng Zimu because he is rich?But Zeng Zimu is not the only rich person in this world.He works in the media, and there are many predators in the media field. If he doesn't compare himself to others, he can't complain about those people, so why did he bite on a shipping company.It sounds like horses and horses have nothing to do with each other.

A bold but vague idea flashed in Yan Youwei's mind.She wasn't sure yet, she just felt a little absurd but didn't want to let it go.She continued to ask Xia Xiaoqiao: "Does your husband always make fun of rich people? He probably scolded everyone on the rich list except Zeng Zimu."

"That's not common. I think he's a bit strange, as if he's targeting Zeng Zimu. We usually watch financial news on TV, and when we report on some rich people or their companies, I see him acting quite normal. Once on TV Reporting on the business situation of a certain domestic automobile company, he also praised the founder of the company for his foresight and ability. He knew that Zeng Zimu and I graduated from a university, so he often asked me about him. I told him that Zeng Zimu had been chasing a girl for several years but failed, and he was very happy. Later I I told him about your divorce, and he was so excited that day he dragged me to sing K. Do you think he is sick?"

Yan Youwei thought to himself, maybe this Nie Kun is really sick, what he has is heart disease.He must have some kind of connection with Zeng Zimu or the Zeng family, that's why he was stimulated to talk all day long and behave abnormally.He has been unable to achieve success in taking over the family business, which may also be related to his mentality.It is good for a person to be competitive, but when ambition and ability do not match, things are often done in a mess.

What's more, from Xia Xiaoqiao's words, Nie Kun is a petty and incompetent man.He hates Zeng Zimu, but he is unwilling to work hard to catch up with him. He just lives in fantasy all day long, and attributes the root of all failures to his birth.

Think about Nie Kun's face, and then think about Zeng Zimu, is there really some unknown connection between these two people?
Yan Youwei suddenly felt that maybe Xia Xiaoqiao could be the breakthrough to find Zeng Zimu.

She was pondering over the feasibility of this matter when Xia Xiaoqiao, who was sitting across from her, suddenly changed her expression, the glass in her hand was tilted, and half of the glass of milk poured out.

"What's wrong with you?" Yan Youwei saw that she seemed to be looking out of the window, and followed her.There were cars coming and going in front of the hospital, but nothing unusual could be seen.

Xia Xiaoqiao's lips were trembling nervously: "Nie, Nie Kun came to me, he came to me. Youwei, what should I do. I can't be found by him, he hasn't come home for several days, He must have been drinking these few days. If I fall into his hands, I will definitely be beaten. Help me, help me, please, Youwei, I beg you."

Yan Youwei realized that Xia Xiaoqiao had developed a habitual fear of Nie Kun after a long period of domestic violence.When he is not around, Xia Xiaoqiao can talk to people like a normal person, and even speak ill of him.But once he was about to appear in her sight, the abuse she suffered would stimulate her nerves, making her different from ordinary people, extremely timid, suspicious, and even prone to self-harm.

She suddenly felt that Xia Xiaoqiao was very pitiful.

"How did you know that he came to look for you?"

"Just now, a car just entered the hospital. It's his car. It's exactly the same. He must know that I'm in the hospital and come to catch me."

"Did you see the license plate number?"

"No, it's definitely not wrong. I won't admit his car." Xia Xiaoqiao said while looking for a place to hide, and finally got under the table.

Everyone else in the cafe looked here suspiciously, making Yan Youwei very embarrassed.She squatted down and went to Laxia Xiaoqiao: "You read it wrong, it must not be his car. Didn't you also say that he must have been drinking after disappearing for a few days. How can a drunk person drive, even if he does, he must drive." Accident. You just saw a car of the same model, and it wasn't him."

"Really?" Xia Xiaoqiao looked at Yan Youwei with helpless and terrified eyes, "Yeah, maybe he didn't go to drink, he just didn't want to go home. Now that he came back, he found that I was not at home, so he came out to look for me. "

"Does he know you're coming to the hospital? Does the rest of the family know?"

"No, they don't know. I didn't say anything, and a person came out quietly. I also deliberately found a hospital far away from my home, just because I was afraid that he would find out. If he knew that I came to the hospital to see my injuries, he would definitely lose his temper again. "

"That's right, Nie Kun is not a god, how could he know that you are in the hospital. And it is a hospital so far away from home. This is just a coincidence, don't be nervous."

After hearing what she said, Xia Xiaoqiao felt that it made sense, so she slowly got out from under the table.But she still had lingering fears, and she held on to Yan Youwei's sleeve: "Youwei, can you help me find a place to live temporarily? I, I don't want to go home, I'm really afraid of seeing him. And I plan to Divorce him, if I tell him about it, he will definitely beat me again. He can talk about divorce, but I can't, but I can't keep procrastinating like this. I want to leave Nie's house first, Once you settle down, go to court, then get a job and start living again."

Yan Youwei thought that even if you really went to sue, wouldn't Nie Kun dare to beat you?But after thinking about it, she still didn't say that, and she really couldn't get used to Nie Kun being such a coward, she couldn't take it out on his wife or anything.So she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take you to meet someone first."

Yan Youwei took Xia Xiaoqiao to meet Sun Jinyang.

Now the only person around her who she can trust and is capable of helping Xia Xiaoqiao is Sun Jinyang.Of course, her helping Xia Xiaoqiao was not all sympathy, the main reason was that she felt that Xia Xiaoqiao was the key to helping her find Zeng Zimu.If her guess is true, she might be able to find Nie Kun following the clues in Xia Xiaoqiao's hand.

Of course, this is all just speculation.Maybe Nie Kun had nothing to do with this matter at all, maybe he just didn't like Zeng Zimu and wanted to scold him.

Yan Youwei didn't tell Sun Jinyang too much about her in front of Xia Xiaoqiao, she only said that her friend was in some trouble and wanted to find a safer place to live.Sun Jinyang recognized Xia Xiaoqiao at a glance, knowing that she had framed Yan Youwei, his face changed slightly at that time.

But Sun Jinyang is no longer a kid after so many years of training.After a brief shock, he quickly came to his senses, enthusiastically helped Xia Xiaoqiao arrange a place to live, and sent a few more men to "protect" her in the euphemistic name.

Xia Xiaoqiao didn't realize that Nie Kun had anything to do with Zeng Zimu's disappearance.She didn't even know that Zeng Zimu was gone, so Sun Jinyang's arrangement seemed to her to be kindness rather than surveillance.Looking at those tall, upright men who looked like bodyguards, Xia Xiaoqiao's heart, which had been terrified for many years, finally had a moment of peace.

After arranging a place for Xia Xiaoqiao, Yan Youwei took Sun Jinyang to the car alone and talked: "Don't be surprised, this woman is the one who almost made me go to prison a while ago. I'm helping her now, not all because of her, I'm a little suspicious of her That husband, Nie Kun, is related to Zeng Zimu's disappearance this time. Is there a way for you to track down the whereabouts of that Nie and see if he has done anything out of line recently."

"Nie? What does he do? Does he have any grudge against my brother?"

"I don't know at the moment. I only know that he had a plan to discuss cooperation with Zeng Zimu a while ago, but he never met your brother. He originally wanted to get online with Zeng Zimu through me, but I refused Yes. That time Xia Xiaoqiao reacted more than him, and I never doubted him. But I talked with Xia Xiaoqiao today, and I think there is something wrong with him."

Yan Youwei talked with Sun Jinyang about the key points of the chat with Xia Xiaoqiao before.Sun Jinyang nodded while listening, and finally concluded: "It seems that this Mr. Nie has a lot of opinions on my brother. His situation is quite similar to the group of people I investigated before."

"Which group of people?"

"My uncle's illegitimate children. I have secretly contacted them several times, and several of them have the same tone as Nie Kun. They just think that my brother is lucky to occupy the title of illegitimate son, which is why he can live in such a good way now. Those people always like to say, what will happen if they take over Zhimei, everyone’s heart is higher than the sky, their lives are thinner than paper, and they are all mud that can’t be pasted on the wall.”

Yan Youwei's eyes lit up: "Then have you come into contact with this Nie Kun?"

"No. Basically, what I checked was the superficial group. You also know my uncle's temperament. He is merciful and keeps seeds everywhere. I don't know how many men in this world are happy to be fathers because of him. I can only find out about those I once asked my uncle or my aunt for the information of the women who asked for money, and then found their children. I can’t do anything about those who didn’t say anything or said it in a more cryptic way. But since you provided Nie Kun, I want to check It’s convenient. I can find his mother from him, and then check whether his mother had sex with my uncle before. If it’s like you guessed, this Nie Kun’s father’s head will be green. I really sympathize with him .”

"I heard what Xiao Qiao said. Nie Kun's father obviously thinks this is his son, otherwise he would not pass on the family business to him. Of course, it is also possible that Nie Kun is really his father's son. We think too much gone."

Sun Jinyang smiled slightly: "Not really. Oh, by the way, I went to the police station to inquire. The female teacher surnamed Zhuang was found unconscious in a bus yesterday. She was still awake when the police went before, and they didn't ask A clue of value. Have you gone?"

"Not yet. I bumped into Xia Xiaoqiao just now. I didn't expect to have an unexpected harvest by chatting with her. Jin Yang, don't delay, go and find out about Nie Kun. If he is really Zeng Zimu's father outside If it is a son, then our previous efforts will be effective. You said that his father would agree to help us, right? "

"Of course, although my uncle is affectionate, he is not ruthless. He values ​​my brother very much, not just as an heir. After all, my brother has lived with him for more than 30 years, and the relationship between father and son is not fake. What's more, My uncle's character, someone dares to touch him, and he simply doesn't take him seriously. He will never let anyone who dares to provoke him go. I am worried about my brother's situation now, in case ..."

Yan Youwei stared ahead with rare calm eyes: "No, such an outstanding person like your brother must have a way to protect himself. Even if you can't escape temporarily, it should be no problem to save your life. You also pay attention to Xia Xiaoqiao, don't let her leave you I can't tell if she is an enemy or a friend now, and what she said may not be true, we'd better be careful."

Listening to Yan Youwei's well-organized words, Sun Jinyang suddenly felt that the woman in front of him had changed a lot.In the past, she was fragile, sensitive and controllable, but after his brother disappeared, Yan Youwei calmed down in a rare way.

He couldn't help admiring: "Youwei, your psychological quality is really good. I thought you would collapse."

"I can't break down now. I really want to break down, but I have no right to do so. Zeng Zimu is my child's father, and I have to do something for him. Even if it's for Yang Yang, I will hold on. Now crying Making a big fuss won't help at all, it's better to find a way to rescue your brother quickly is the right way."

After Yan Youwei finished speaking, she showed a non-smiling smile. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't calm down at the moment, her internal organs and six lungs seemed to be overwhelmed.But she also knew that she had to calm down.

In the past when Zeng Zimu was around, she felt a little dependent in her heart, and always felt that no matter what happened, someone would always stand behind her.But now that her support is gone, she will become the support of others instead.Crying and crying at this time will only be annoying, so it's better to force yourself to do something.

Yan Youwei looked at the time and it was almost dusk.She has been busy all day today and didn't even eat anything. She doesn't plan to find a place to eat dinner right now, so she just asks Sun Jinyang to buy a boxed lunch at a roadside convenience store, and sits in the speeding car for three or two bites. It's over.

Then she went to the hospital to find Teacher Zhuang.Teacher Zhuang just woke up when she went. The police came out of the ward just after recording the statement. When they saw Yan Youwei, they didn't say anything. They thought she was Teacher Zhuang's friend.

Yan Youwei waited at the door for the police to leave before knocking on the door and entering.She was carrying the fruit basket she had just bought from the fruit shop in front of the hospital, and she smiled at Teacher Zhuang as soon as she entered.

Teacher Zhuang knew her and knew that she was the mother of Yang Yang in his class, so he immediately greeted her: "Mother Yang Yang, you are here."

"Mr. Zhuang, let me come and see you. How is your health?"

"Fortunately, I'm not seriously injured, just a little tired, and I'll be fine after a few days of rest." She looked at the fruit basket in Yan Youwei's hand, and said politely, "What are you still shopping for, you're too polite."

"It should be, you are Yang Yang's teacher, I should come to see you, and I can't come empty-handed."

Yan Youwei put the fruit basket on the bedside table, and took a rough look at the situation in the room.This is a single room, and the environment is not bad, but there are not many things in the ward, and it seems that no parents have visited Teacher Zhuang.

Thinking about it, what happened yesterday was so shocking that many parents probably haven't recovered by now.Besides, children's ability to resist stress can be high or low. Those like Yang Yang are better. They can still remember the situation at the time of the crime and roughly tell the main content.Some children might be so frightened that they can't even speak. They have a fever and vomit. Parents have no time to take care of their children. How many people will know about Teacher Zhuang's illness.

Even if you know, you may not come.Yan Youwei asked herself, if it wasn't for Zeng Zimu, she might not have immediately thought of visiting the teacher the next day.

Thinking of this, she was a little embarrassed, pulled a chair and sat down beside Teacher Zhuang's bed.The two chatted a few words first, or Mr. Zhuang took the initiative to bring up yesterday's incident: "Is Yang Yang okay?"

"He's okay, there's nothing serious about it. He told me about your kidnapping. I went to the police station to ask about the situation, and I know you've been rescued. I'm so thankful."

Speaking of yesterday's scene, Teacher Zhuang's heart is still pounding.When she was taken off the school bus, she really thought she would not survive.Luckily, she was so excited that she was speechless.In front of Yan Youwei, she couldn't control her emotions for a while: "Yeah, I also think I am very lucky. I think I will remember this in my whole life."

"Mr. Zhuang, I'm really sorry. You were frightened so much, but I still came to you without understanding. I wanted to ask you what happened yesterday. Can you tell me?"

Teacher Zhuang thought that Yan Youwei wanted to know the process of the hijacking of the school bus, so he said, "The situation was not right when we got on the bus yesterday. The driver was a stranger, and we had never seen him before. The route the car drove was not the original plan at all. On the road that day, our other teacher Gu asked the driver. As a result, he behaved very fiercely and suddenly threatened us to hand over our mobile phones, or else we would drive into the isolation belt on the side of the road. At that time, he drove the car on the highway , the speed of the car is very fast, we are afraid of the danger of overturning, so we can only hand over the mobile phone to him."

The situation after that was similar to what Yan Youwei heard, the driver hijacked the whole car and went to a strange place, stopped for a while and then continued driving.During the period, someone got into the car and took Mr. Zhuang out of the car.Teacher Zhuang apologized when he said that he was taken out of the car: "I don't know what happened later, you can ask the other two teachers who lead the team."

"Mr. Zhuang, in fact, the main reason I came today is to know what happened after you were kidnapped. Can you tell me about it?"

Teacher Zhuang's face changed, and he immediately became alert: "Why are you asking this? I just told the police what I should say. If you want to know, you can ask them."

"Mr. Zhuang." Yan Youwei's tone was soft and not high, with a bit of pleading in his tone, "I came to see you not to gossip, but because Yang Yang's father disappeared because of yesterday's incident, and I Want to get him back. That's why I'm here to ask you for help."
