"What, the person is gone. Find him for me. Even if you turn Fengtian City upside down, you still have to find him for me." Shen Wentao stood in the hall of Shen's residence, looking at the nurses and bodyguards with a livid face, and roared loudly. The servants had never seen the master, who was always so kind and cheerful, so angry. They were all frightened and ran away, and no one dared to come close.
The nursing staff and bodyguards lowered their heads, knowing that they had neglected their duties. They allowed Shen Wentao to scold them without a single explanation.
Shen Wentao was tired of scolding, so he sat on a chair and waved to them, "Go out and look for people. If you can't find you, don't go back to the Shen Mansion. You can go back and forth wherever you go. I don't care for waste."
"Sir, it's useless for us. If we can't find Miss, we won't have the shame to come back." The guard captain raised his head and looked at Shen Wentao, who looked slightly pale, and said in a deep voice, "We will look for her now, and we will never come back until we find her. "After that, he led the nurse and left the hall.
All the way out of Shen's house, the guards asked him cautiously, "Brother Wang, Fengtian City is so big, where can we find it?"
"Divide me into five groups, one for each place in the east, west, south, and north cities. Mobilize all the connections and make sure to find the lady." Guard captain Wang Yimu stood on the steps and shouted, "Just turn Fengtian City over. , you must also find the young lady for me, we cannot afford to lose this person."
"Understood." The nursing staff responded and dispersed, each looking for their relatives, friends, and connections outside to see if they could get any news.
Captain Wang looked at the guards leaving, sighed, and went to look for people.
With the departure of the Shen family guards, the Shen residence seemed much emptier. Shen Wentao sat on a chair and closed his eyes, but his head was spinning rapidly. He was thinking about who kidnapped Shen Yue.
Shen Yue disappeared this morning. He was not so anxious at first, because it was not the first time that Shen Yue ran out like this. She usually walked around outside and then came back. So although he sent someone to look for him, he didn't. Taking it too seriously.
However, when the guard who went out to look for someone found Shen Yue's lost wooden box in the alley opposite Qingyaxuan and saw the jewelry scattered on the ground, he realized that something had happened to his daughter, and he became anxious at that time, so That's why he got so angry at the guards.
With the anger in his heart lessened, Shen Wentao leaned on the chair and began to think about the whole story. He found that this matter looked a little strange.
If it was a robbery, then the jewelry should be snatched away instead of leaving them alone in the alley. There are no thieves that stupid.
As for the robbery, it is possible, but why did the other party kidnap Shen Yue? Don't they know that taking such a big living person will cause a lot of trouble?
"Is it possible that he is the legendary human trafficker?" Shen Wentao sat up suddenly, and he was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.
There is a legend circulating in Fengtian that there is a group of people who kidnapped women and sold them to people in Tsarist Russia as wives, because the land there was vast and sparsely populated, and there were fewer women, so someone was needed to carry on the family line.
Originally, Shen Wentao just laughed when he heard this statement, thinking that it was nonsense, but now he couldn't help but start to think about it.
"If Yue'er is captured by those people, then things will probably be bad." When Shen Wentao thought of this, he was so anxious that he wanted to find the traffickers immediately and rescue Shen Yue.
At this moment, a servant suddenly ran in and reported to him, "Master, there are guests visiting."
"See you, see you!" Shen Wentao was so preoccupied with Shen Yue's affairs that he had no intention of meeting the guests. He waved his hand irritably, "Tell him to come back in a few days."
The servant stood there without moving. He hesitated and continued, "Master, the person who came here said his name is Luo Xiao."
"Who cares about Luo Xiao, he's missing, wait, who do you think he is?" Shen Wentao was about to get angry, but when he heard Luo Xiao's name, he immediately calmed down, and a look of ecstasy appeared on his face. "Quickly, let Luo Xiao come in."
The servant didn't know why Shen Wentao changed so much, but he didn't dare to ask, so he hurriedly went down and opened the door.
Before the time was up, Luo Xiao and several special operations team members walked into the hall from the outside. When he saw Shen Wentao, he immediately clasped his fists and saluted him, "Uncle, you are always a good person."
"Luo Xiao, you're here, haha!" Shen Wentao affectionately pulled Luo Xiao to sit next to him, then looked him up and down and nodded, "Well, he's not thinner, but he's darker."
"You have to be exposed to the wind and sun all day long, so you can't help but get dark, uncle." Luo Xiao replied with a smile. He treated this old man as an elder.
Shen Wentao nodded and said, "That's good, that's good."
Luo Xiao looked around and asked a little strangely, "Uncle, where are your guards and bodyguards, and where did Xiaoyue go?"
When Luo Xiao asked about this, Shen Wentao sighed, with a look of worry on his face, and said, "Oh, something happened to Xiaoyue, and all the nursing homes went out to look for her."
"What?!" Luo Xiao was stunned.
Shen Wentao told him what happened, and finally expressed his conjectures and worries.
After listening to Shen Wentao's narration, Luo Xiao lowered his head in thought. It took a long time before he raised his head, with a serious face, "Uncle, I don't think the matter is that simple. I'm afraid there is some conspiracy here."
"Conspiracy?" Shen Wentao fell silent when Luo Xiao said this. He thought about the recent events to see if there was anything that could be related to this incident.
Luo Xiao continued, "I'm afraid this matter will have to be investigated from Qingyaxuan. We first need to know who Shen Yue met there, so that we can know who has motives for Xiaoyue."
"Okay, let's go now." Shen Wentao is not stupid. When Luo Xiao said this, he immediately realized it, stood up and ordered his servants to get clothes.
Luo Xiao stopped him and said, "Uncle, please rest at home. I'll go for you and find out what's going on."
Shen Wentao thought for a while and thought it would be okay for Luo Xiao to go, so he agreed, "Okay, Luo Xiao, you have to be careful. Fengtian City is now owned by the Japanese, so be more careful when you go there."
"Don't worry, uncle, Fengtian City will no longer be dominated by the Japanese soon." Luo Xiao stood up as he spoke, and walked out the door with the special forces team members.
Shen Wentao stood at the door of the hall, watching Luo Xiao lead the people away, and felt a little more at ease.
"It would be great if Luo Xiao could become a son-in-law. Where can I find such a good uncle?" Shen Wentao suddenly said this, and then shook his head, "It's better to find Xiaoyue now. What are you thinking about?"
Shen Wentao has always been very satisfied with Luo Xiao. He is upright and resolute, calm in work, a good person, and good-looking. He is really a good candidate. The key is that he has never been interested in Shen Yue, which leaves Shen Wentao helpless. .
He can't force things about feelings, as that will have no effect. He can only hope that the two of them will have more contact and eventually develop some feelings.
Just when he was thinking wildly, the phone in the room suddenly rang. Shen Wentao was deep in thought and was startled. He hurriedly grabbed the phone and asked, "Who?"
"Shen Wentao, don't ask us who we are." It was a deep voice, which sounded like it was deliberately choked, "We want money, otherwise your daughter's life will not be saved."
When Shen Wentao heard this, he immediately became anxious. He shouted into the phone, "How much do you want? Speak and don't hurt Xiaoyue, otherwise we and you will be ruined."
There was a cold snort from the other end of the phone, followed closely by the girl's scream, which made Shen Wentao's blood boil.
"Don't hurt her. I'll pay as much as you want." Shen Wentao was already yelling. He heard that it was Shen Yue's voice and felt that his blood vessels were about to explode.
The deep voice sounded again, full of pride, "Okay, I don't want money, I want a truckload of flour. You can deliver it to a ruined temple outside the city at midnight tonight."
"What do you want that for?" Shen Wentao was a little confused, why did the other party not want money but only flour.
"Stop talking nonsense and give me whatever you want." The person on the other end of the phone shouted, smiling sinisterly, "If you play tricks with us then, all you will see is a corpse and a corpse. Corpses that dozens of people played with."
"Okay, I will do as you say, but you must ensure Shen Yue's safety." Shen Wentao took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Otherwise, I will never let go even if I spend all the money. Yours."
"Okay, it's a deal!" After saying these words, the other party hung up the phone.
Putting down the phone, Shen Tao slowly sat down and fell into deep thought.
A truckload of flour is nothing to him. His flour mill has hundreds of trucks pulling flour out, but he always feels like there is some conspiracy involved.
Why didn't the other party want anything else but a truckload of flour? Could it be that they were a group of bandits nearby and did this because they had no food to eat?
However, the bandits near Fengtian have been almost wiped out by the Japanese. If they can only be a slightly distant force, but he, Shen Wentao, has a good reputation. The bandits know that he is very loyal. If he needs money, just ask him. No. It was necessary to go through so much trouble, and it offended him.
So, what do these people want to do?
Shen Wentao didn't think about it and couldn't figure out what was going on, so he had to put this matter aside for the time being. At worst, he would send a truck of flour over and exchange Shen Yue for it, so he could see what tricks the other party had up his sleeve.
Shen Wentao made up his mind that when Luo Xiao comes back, he will tell him about this matter and see what suggestions he has. After all, Hu Xiaoling led by Luo Xiao is well-known in this area, and other bandit forces must give it some credit. Face-saving.
In this way, Shen Wentao sat quietly while waiting anxiously, without even eating lunch.
