Ming Jing raised her eyebrows, looking at the refined and dignified middle-aged man in front of her: “For today’s incident, I owe you all a favor. Why don’t I treat you two gentlemen to dinner as a token of my gratitude?” Upon hearing this, Jiao Mei’s eyebrows furrowed.
What a bold statement from the girl. Who did she think she was, inviting Mr.
Shen to dinner? Perhaps even her own father didn’t have that level of prestige.
To her surprise, Mr. Shen agreed cheerfully, “It would be an honor.”
Jiao Mei stared in shock, her eyes wide.
Ming Jing said, “Today is inconvenient, as my sister has been startled. I need to take her home to comfort her. I’ll prepare for the banquet another day, and you’ll be warmly welcomed.”
She wanted Mr. Shen to wait for her? Jiao Mei didn’t know what to say.
“Alright, let’s exchange WeChat contacts. Just let me know when you’re ready, and I’ll do the same.” Shen Zhou took out his phone, opened WeChat, and prepared to scan a QR code.
Jiao Mei was astonished. Although Shen Zhou was approachable, she never expected someone of his status to engage in such lengthy conversation with a young girl, let alone adding her on WeChat.
She stared at Ming Jing’s face for three seconds, wondering if…
Ming Jing had Xiao Ying hold Ming Yi and then opened her WeChat QR code. After Shen Zhou scanned it, Shen Ke took the opportunity to do so as well.
Shen Zhou glanced at Shen Ke, who casually shook his phone and explained, “For business purposes.”
So, both Shen Ke and Shen Zhou successfully added Ming Jing on WeChat.
Jiao Mei stepped forward to mediate, looking at the security-guard-captured Han Suwen and asking, “As the victim’s family member, how would Ms. Zhu like to handle this matter? Settle privately or pursue criminal charges? My colleagues and I will cooperate in any way we can.”
Ming Jing looked at Han Suwen, who was still desperately shouting that Ming Yi was her daughter Nannan, but no one believed her. Everyone thought she was insane.
Moving in front of her, Ming Jing asked the security guard to let her go.
The guards looked at each other, wary of the woman going crazy again. They released her but remained on high alert.
Suddenly, Han Suwen knelt before Ming Jing, pleading, “Please return my daughter to me. She’s my Nannan.”
Qin Xu sighed in frustration, “Wake up! She’s not our Nannan. When will you stop your madness?”
“I’m not insane! If it weren’t for your family’s preference for boys over girls, you wouldn’t have thrown my daughter away while I was weak and recovering. You give me back my daughter!”
The onlookers, now aware of the backstory, felt pity for her. The security guards didn’t know whether to intervene.
Normally, the couple might have fought like this, and the man would have grown accustomed to it. However, the man’s pride was wounded from being watched by so many people. He pushed the woman away harshly and yelled, “Enough! I’ve had enough of you!”
Ming Jing shot him a cold glance, causing his heart to tighten involuntarily.
Soon, the police arrived. Since Ming Jing chose to settle privately, they took several people to the station to give statements before releasing them.
From start to finish, Han Suwen was eerily silent and calm, a stark contrast to her earlier hysteria.
Upon leaving the police station, Qin Xu rubbed his hands, apologizing to Ming Jing. “I’m sorry, Ms. Zhu, for causing you so much trouble. I don’t know how to thank you for not holding us accountable.”
Shen Zhou had taken the initiative to add her on WeChat, so the girl must come from a distinguished background. It was their good fortune that she chose not to pursue their responsibility.
Ming Jing glanced at the silent Han Suwen standing behind him and asked,
“How old was your daughter, Nannan, when she went missing?”
Han Suwen’s eyes flickered upon hearing the name Nannan. Qin Xu held her hand, comforting her while answering, “It’s a long story. It’s all my fault. I was too busy with work when Suwen was giving birth and couldn’t take care of her. My mother came from our hometown to help, but one evening, while my mother was cooking, Suwen took the child for a walk in the community garden. Suwen answered a phone call, and when she turned around, the child was gone. We reported it to the police immediately, but she was never found after searching for a long time.”
“It’s all my fault. If I hadn’t been so busy and could have accompanied Suwen, our child wouldn’t have been lost.”
Ming Jing asked, “Can you tell me the exact date your child went missing?”
Qin Xu looked at her in surprise.
“I have connections in this area and can help you inquire about it.”
Qin Xu hurriedly said, “Thank you, Ms. Zhu. Our child went missing five years ago, on April 1st. I remember it clearly because it was April Fool’s Day, and I thought Suwen was playing a prank on me..”
