Chapter 1610: Chapter 1610: Didn’t I tell you to stay calm?
Luo Qiao watched Guan Yuqi enter the office before dialing Shen Jianzhong, instructing him to coordinate efforts on both the Sun Family and the Ning Family. The more people involved, the greater the strength; right now, time was Fengfeng’s life.
There were things she didn’t want to say in front of Guan Yuqi, fearing she wouldn’t be able to handle it, so she sent her away.
After arranging everything, Luo Qiao drove Guan Yuqi to her workplace and then headed towards the Valve Factory herself.
It’s not that she distrusted the police officers, but she had a gut feeling that this matter was related to the Sun Family, compelling her to personally check it out.
The sky had already darkened. If it were truly them who took Fengfeng, they wouldn’t give him much time. Moreover, if the Ning Family took him, Fengfeng wouldn’t be in danger and it wouldn’t matter if they found him late. But it would be different if he was in the hands of the Sun Family.
She drove faster than usual and, upon reaching the Valve Factory’s residential area, didn’t drive in. Instead, she stopped not far from the factory, changed her bright top to a black cotton jacket, locked her car, and entered the factory through a side gate.
She didn’t enter the Valve Factory’s residential area because the Guan Family was already there. She knew the police would certainly send people to investigate the factory, but her sense of smell and hearing were above the ordinary, so she wanted to act on her own.
She remembered Guan Yuqi once mentioned that Sun Yu’s mother, Leng Lamei, was assigned to the waste material workshop. She thought if the Sun Family really took Fengfeng, they wouldn’t hide him at home. But if they went far, they might be afraid of being exposed. So, could it be that the most dangerous place was the safest?
The factory wasn’t too far or too close. They were familiar with the environment. If it was really the mother-daughter duo, they might have prepared early, and the child might be hidden somewhere in the factory that was hard to find.
She didn’t share her thoughts with Lu Yichen, as she didn’t want to disrupt their professional judgment of the case. After all, they were experts.
Furthermore, she feared that if the child was indeed hidden there, too many people might alarm them, prompting them to act ruthlessly in desperation.
By coming alone, she had a smaller target and could adapt to situations as they arose.
Luo Qiao had been to the factory once before and roughly knew the direction of the waste material warehouse, so she quickly headed that way.
When she reached the waste material warehouse, she found the door open and no one inside. Fearing an accident, she turned her phone to silent mode, just in case she got a call that ruined everything.
She searched slowly; the waste material warehouse was really large, filled with unused scrap and various old withdrawn equipment everywhere, making it difficult to navigate except for one cleared path.
After searching for over an hour and finding nothing, just as she was about to try another direction, she heard someone enter. The person first walked around, then called out, "Mom, Mom, where are you?"
Upon hearing the voice, Luo Qiao knew it was Sun Yu who had come. But she had been here for an hour without encountering anyone. If Sun Yu’s mother, Leng Lamei, was indeed in this waste material warehouse, then something must be wrong here.
Luo Qiao’s heart pounded in her chest as she silently prayed for Fengfeng’s safety, while closing her eyes and listening intently to the movements, waiting to see if Sun Yu’s mother would appear.
A dozen minutes later, she heard movement. Someone walked out from afar from where she was hiding: "How did you get here?"
Then she heard Sun Yu say, "Mom, the police just left, and the Guan family is back again. I saw them going from one house to another. Are they suspecting us?"
"Don’t scare yourself. Things have reached this point, there’s no turning back. As long as we get through tonight, we’ll take the money and run far away. Don’t worry."
"Mom, I’m really anxious. Besides, when I passed by the Li family just now, Uncle Li was still at home drinking. How are you going to cover for his night shift?"
"You don’t need to worry about that. When the time comes, someone will take care of it. Haven’t I told you to keep your composure?"
