After hearing what her parents said, Shen Lu felt a wave of dizziness and wanted to curse them as idiots.

What was Gu's mother thinking, entrusting her child to a stranger?

Shen Lu endured the intense dizziness and gripped Gu's mother's arm tightly.

"Where are the man and woman? Take me to them."

"I...I don't know either. They are Cuiying's friends. They said they would bring the child back tonight."

They didn't think much of it at the time, just waiting for the two of them to bring the child back that evening.

Who would have thought that Shen Lu would discover it on her own initiative...

If I don't discover anything, they can easily call Gu Xiao and tell him to divorce Shen Lu.

Afterwards, Gu's mother still didn't care about the safety of her eldest grandson, Gu Xingyu. Instead, she blamed Shen Lu for discovering what they had done.

Shen Lu glared at Fan Cuiying with sharp eyes and demanded, "Who is your friend?"

If you have a fixed address and a job, it will be easier to find one.

but.

Fan Cuiying hesitated for a long time before slowly saying, "It's a friend I met at the mahjong table before."

How many people who frequently hang out at the mahjong table are reliable?

If Shen Lu remembered correctly, Fan Cuiying was a gambler, and she even had someone come to her house to cause trouble because of cheating.

In this situation, how credible are her friends?

Shen Lu gripped Fan Cuiying's shoulders tightly and gave a stern command.

"Go find Xiao Yu. If you can't, don't blame me for being ruthless. I'll bet my whole life I'll put you in jail!"

Fan Cuiying had never seen Shen Lu so frantic before, and for a moment she was a little scared and vaguely uneasy, but she still kept her mouth shut.

"Xiao Shen, don't worry, they are all friends I've known before. Your mother and I are just testing you..."

Shen Lu lowered her head, her whole body trembling. She didn't want to say another word to Fan Cuiying. She was worried that she would lose control and slap Fan Cuiying in the next second.

"Get out there and find it!"

Fan Cuiying was so frightened that she froze on the spot.

Li Mei stopped Fan Cuiying and verified the identities of the man and woman, as well as the specific appearance of the vehicle and its license plate number.

Fan Cuiying was not usually so observant, and when Li Mei asked her questions, she could only give a few scattered answers.

Now everyone can only pray that the man and woman didn't really intend to kidnap Xiao Yu.

Otherwise, after so much time, the two of them would have long since disappeared with the child.

Li Mei and Shen Lu went to the police station to register their personal information as a man and a woman.

After doing all this, it was already afternoon, and two hours had passed since Xiao Yu went missing.

Li Mei looked at Shen Lu with some concern.

"Shen, are you sure you can manage on your own? Should my man call Gu Xiao's unit?"

Shen Lu felt more exhausted than ever before, and she waved her hand in refusal.

"Never mind, Gu Xiao is working for the country, we can't let him get distracted."

Shen Lu understood the mission Gu Xiao carried and knew that he couldn't be disturbed casually.

Even though she was now in a dire situation, she would keep the rear stable and not let Gu Xiao be distracted in the slightest.

Besides, even if Gu Xiao were contacted, he wouldn't be able to offer much help since he wasn't on-site. All the troops had already been mobilized, and that was enough.

Shen Lu was used to being independent and never relied on anyone, not even her nominal husband.

Upon hearing this answer, Li Mei couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for Shen Lu.

If she were in that situation, she couldn't guarantee she wouldn't bother her husband who was in the military.

"Don't worry, we've already sent people to search every vehicle."

In this era, few people owned cars, and since the colors of all cars were clearly identified, finding one wasn't too difficult.

Now, all Shen Lu can do is wait.

But Shen Lu was unwilling to give up. She had to get moving, otherwise she would feel uneasy all over.

Shen Lu remembered that Fan Cuiying said they met at the mahjong table, so she inquired around and came to the mahjong parlor that Fan Cuiying frequented.

The place was filled with smoke, and people were chatting and laughing, smoking and playing mahjong at the same time.

Shen Lu knew exactly what would attract them most, so she took out a stack of ten-yuan bills and shouted.

"Who has time to answer one of my questions? I'll pay you ten yuan."

Knowing that the average wage is 50 yuan now, this 10 yuan is equivalent to six days' wages.

Everyone immediately put down their mahjong tiles, and without caring whether they would win or not, they swarmed around, all smiles and eager to please.

"Beautiful lady, what do you want to know? I can tell you anything."

"Get out of the way. I'm the owner of this mahjong parlor. I know everything. Beautiful lady, you can ask me anything."

Shen Lu slammed the stack of tempting 10,000-yuan bills on the table and spoke.

"I want to know the names of the man and woman who often play mahjong with Fan Cuiying, and where they live."

"The two of them are called Ma Zi and E Zi. They are lovers and they used to rent a house over there."

The proprietress pointed to the square meter not far away.

Shen Lu got the answer she wanted and immediately pulled out a ten-yuan note and handed it to the proprietress.

The proprietress took the ten-yuan note and immediately beamed with joy.

Seeing Shen Luhao's domineering demeanor, those around him immediately rubbed their hands together, eager to try and answer the question.

Does anyone know where Ma Zi and E Zi went today?

The group looked at each other in bewilderment. Although they spent every day together, they hadn't actually seen the two of them today.

Just as I was wondering how to answer, a voice came from afar.

"I know, I saw them packing their things, saying they'd made a fortune and were going back to their hometown."

This answer made Shen Lu's heart clench. Was he going to sell his Xiao Yu after making such a huge profit?

"Where are they from?"

"In the neighboring city of Haihe."

Shen Lu immediately ran home and notified the police.

"I learned from the mahjong parlor that the couple might be going back to their hometown, which is in the neighboring city of Haihe."

Police responded quickly and immediately ordered all officers to block the roads leading to Haihe City.

Soon, they received a message.

"Captain, we've spotted a suspicious vehicle on our way to Haihe City. We haven't seen any children in it yet, but the man and woman inside refuse to stop. We've already sent people to follow it."

Very immediately got up and went to grab the captain's sleeve.

"Captain, I want to go too!"

Under such circumstances, the outcome will certainly be very chaotic.

Just as the captain was about to refuse, Shen Lu looked up with teary eyes.

"That way, if anything happens to the children, I can be there on the spot and make a decision immediately. Promise me."

The captain met Shen Lu's gaze, hesitated for a long time, and then finally agreed.
