Chapter 1612: Chapter 1612: Discovering the Secret
Soon, the police also made progress; the car that took the child was found, it was a delivery vehicle from the Valve Factory.
Lu Yichen simultaneously received news from Shen Jianzhong that foreign contacts had previously reached out to Leng Lamei, making things seem clearer and clearer.
At the same time, the Guan Family also sent news to the police that someone saw Sun Yu leaving the residential complex at four-thirty in the afternoon today.
Luo Qiao took more than an hour to discover the secret within. Behind a batch of old equipment stood a pillar, which was originally built for load-bearing purposes.
Because the warehouse was large and no partition walls were built in the middle, this load-bearing pillar was made thicker than a regular one.
Luo Qiao circled the pillar several times before noticing something unusual.
Just then, someone came looking for Leng Lamei, "Sister Leng."
"Hey, Xiao Zhang, what are you doing here?"
"I came over to discuss with you whether you could cover a shift for Old Li tonight."
"Old Li asked for leave?"
"Don’t mention it. He was fine before. I even talked to him over the fence, but suddenly his youngest son ran over saying Old Li twisted his ankle when he went out, ending up with a fracture."
"Oh, is it that serious?"
As she said this, she felt a pang of guilt in her heart. After all, Old Li often helped her out, unlike Old Cai, that scoundrel who only helped if he got something out of it.
"I’m not really sure about the specifics. Sister Leng, could you cover just today? We’ll figure it out when the managers come back tomorrow."
"Sure, how big of a deal is it to make you come all the way here? Could’ve just called me."
"Sigh, I feel more assured coming over. You were about to get off work anyway, sorry for the trouble, Sister Leng."
After the person left, Leng Lamei shut the door and walked toward the pillar, moving around it for quite a while before arriving.
Luo Qiao found a perfect spot to hide and was puzzled about how to open the door on the pillar. Unexpectedly, Leng Lamei came and demonstrated it live.
After Luo Qiao saw how it was done, she entered the space, edited a message on her phone, exited, and sent it out. She couldn’t let them disrupt things now; it was time to deploy. She had to catch the big fish.
It seemed now that Leng Lamei made a deal involving Fengfeng. This indicated no immediate life danger; it sounded like the transaction was tonight. Wait for the big fish to show up, then catch them all at once.
This time Leng Lamei wasn’t inside for long and soon came out.
Then she left the warehouse, walking outside. It was unclear if she was heading to the office or off the premises.
Ignoring where she went, Luo Qiao first opened the secret door on the pillar using Leng Lamei’s method and went down. Inside was kept very clean, and soon enough she spotted Sun Ningfeng lying on a bed ahead.
The child obviously had been drugged with sedatives, his little face flushed, looking like he had a fever.
She felt his forehead, confirming he was indeed slightly feverish but it was no major issue, probably mainly due to fright.
The priority now was to leave here safely, thinking to give him medicine once they reached a safe place.
Just as she was about to leave, she spotted something around the corner inside, resembling the telegraph machines she’d seen on TV.
Suddenly, her heart felt like it would leap out. Returning to check, she meticulously searched the area again but found nothing else.
