Chapter 1741: Chapter 1741: Thought It Would Be Easier

Bai Sulì was somewhat disapproving, "I think we should find Mom and Dad first. With them around, Luo Qiao definitely wouldn’t have the nerve to make things difficult."

"We can’t delay Zining’s matter any longer. The longer we wait, the more likely she is to lose her job. As for our son crashing into someone’s car, that’s just a matter of compensation. That can be put on hold for now."

Yang Liwu thought for a moment and somewhat agreed. He actually didn’t want more people in the factory to know about Bai Sulì getting hit, as it was too embarrassing.

Only then did Bai Sulì breathe a sigh of relief. If they went to the security department to write a testimony, her being beaten would surely spread, which would be utterly shameful in the factory. Furthermore, she didn’t want the housewife from the factory director’s family to know, to avoid causing trouble for herself.

She thought it would be simple to just find an excuse to decline, but she underestimated the situation.

She didn’t realize that right now, the Chen family was also talking about this, and Chen Guoyue being beaten up was something Madam Chen couldn’t swallow. She was urging Director Chen to avenge their son.

Director Chen was already troubled enough today, and now hearing his wife say their son was beaten, he had nowhere to vent his anger, so he agreed to look into the matter after work the next day.

As a result, the next day, when Director Chen arrived at the office, he called logistics to inquire, only to find out that Bai Sulì had taken three days off.

Director Chen directly ordered logistics to arrange for someone to fill her position, saying that they would assign her to another post once she returned. They couldn’t leave the work unattended.

The logistics officer understood immediately and arranged for his relative, who worked at the canteen, to take over Bai Sulì’s job.

After all, once she returned, the factory director had the final say, so he had nothing to fear.

Meanwhile, at home on leave, Bai Sulì had no idea her job had been filled by someone else. Unable to reach her in-laws by phone, she decided to take her daughter to visit them.

But when they arrived, the house was locked tight. It was only after asking the neighbors that she found out the couple had left for a trip the day before.

Bai Sulì stood there dumbfounded, thinking how coincidental it was for them to leave suddenly without any notice?

The two quickly looked for a public phone to call Yang Liwu: "Hello, could you help me find Yang Liwu, please?"

"Sure, please hold."

After a long wait, someone finally picked up: "Hello, who’s this?"

Bai Sulì was somewhat anxious, "Liwu, it’s me. Mom and Dad aren’t home. The neighbors said they left for a trip yesterday. What should we do?"

Yang Liwu was also stunned and thought, where could they have gone?

Thinking it over, he said, "If they really went on a trip, it’s likely either Shanghai or Hangzhou, probably with Wang Bingwen or Sun Guoliang, no one else."

"So what do we do now?"

"We need to find their contact numbers and call them to ask."

"But we don’t have their numbers either?"

"Luo Qiao definitely has them."

"Even if she does, considering the current situation, she wouldn’t give them to me."

"Have Zining call her and ask. The kids haven’t done anything to her. Just give it a try."

Yang Zining felt a bit embarrassed, as she hadn’t contacted Luo Qiao since the work arrangements were made. Calling now to ask for phone numbers felt awkward.

But she mustered up the courage to call, only to find nobody answering. After persistently calling for a long while, someone finally picked up. However, the person said Luo Qiao wasn’t in the office and was in the classroom teaching, suggesting she call back later.

Looking at the tightly locked gate from afar, ever since the elder had been hospitalized, the lock on the gate had been changed, and they had to head back and figure out another solution.
