"I'm sure it won't be long before they'll be able to bring Xiaochen back!"
Chengcheng stepped forward to comfort Chen Shuting.
Although she nodded, the tears she couldn't stop still revealed all the worries in her heart.
Xu Lei didn't say much about it, but he quietly gave Xiao Qiang a wink.
Xiao Qiang, understanding Xu Lei's intentions, left immediately.
a few days later.
Xiao Qiang took Lu Han back home.
"Officer Lu Han, have you found my son?"
Chen Shuting immediately stepped forward and asked.
"We found it, but..."
Lu Han stopped mid-sentence and turned to look at Xu Lei.
Only after obtaining Xu Lei's consent did he reveal everything he knew.
Not long ago.
A tragedy has occurred in Jinghai City.
The son of a sanitation worker, about the same age as Xiaochen, passed away because of an explosion caused by a counterfeit Xiaolong mobile phone.
Deeply affected by this incident, the sanitation worker kidnapped Xiaochen after school in order to get revenge on Xu Lei.
"He was too emotional; there was a risk of him killing the hostage at any moment."
“My master is negotiating with him right now. He asked me to come find you and Xu Lei, hoping that you two can be there and tell the sanitation worker the truth.”
Lu Han said in a deep voice.
"Okay, I'll go. Xu Lei and I will both go!"
"Officer Lu Han, where are the sanitation worker and my son now?"
Chen Shuting was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
As long as Xiaochen's safety can be guaranteed, she's willing to do anything.
"They are on the roof of a building in the industrial park."
Lu Han took out his phone and showed the photos he had taken before leaving.
Seeing Xiaochen tied to the ground, only three or four meters from the edge of the roof, Chen Shuting was so frightened that she almost fainted on the spot.
"Xiaoqiang, hurry up and get the car, we're going there now!"
Seeing this, Xu Lei quickly helped Chen Shuting up and then gave the order.
"it is good!"
...
Ten minutes later.
Xu Lei and his group arrived at the rooftop of that building.
"Great! You've finally arrived!"
Bai Ling and Xiao Wu came over and briefly explained the current situation.
The sanitation worker was very firm in his stance.
He insisted on meeting Xu Lei.
Otherwise, he would have grabbed Xiaochen and jumped off the roof together.
"There's no time to lose, take me to see him right now!"
Xu Lei, fully aware of the seriousness of the situation, said.
"it is good!"
After leaving Xiao Wu to take care of Chen Shuting's emotions, Bai Ling took Xu Lei over.
as predicted.
With Xu Lei's appearance, the sanitation worker immediately stopped paying attention to An Xin.
"Xu Lei, you've finally arrived!"
"Do you know, my son is the same age as your son, both still in school, but what about him?"
"He's dead now, killed by a knock-off phone!"
Why are you ignoring the issue of counterfeit mobile phones?
"If you hadn't chosen to ignore it, my son wouldn't have died!"
"It's all your fault, it's all your fault!"
The sanitation workers were screaming at the top of their lungs.
Tears streamed from his already bloodshot eyes, making him look somewhat ferocious and terrifying, yet also evoking a sense of heartache.
"Xu Lei, this guy is very smart. He chose a blind spot for sniping."
"Now, we have no other way but to calm him down and then persuade him to release Xiaochen."
"So you must pay attention to his emotional changes!"
After speaking, An Xin stepped back, while Xu Lei walked toward the sanitation workers with a solemn expression.
When the distance between the two was only a few meters.
The sanitation worker suddenly pulled a watermelon knife from his pocket.
The blade gleamed white and was very sharp; it was currently held against Xiaochen's neck.
"If you dare take another step forward, I'll kill your son right now!"
"Okay, I'll stand here and not move!"
After receiving Xu Lei's assurance, the sanitation worker continued, "Xu Lei, tell me, why do you allow counterfeit mobile phones to operate?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Lei fell silent.
He certainly wouldn't tell the sanitation worker in front of him his true plans.
But if she didn't tell, Xiaochen's life would be in danger.
Left with no other choice, he had to come up with a new excuse.
· ······Requesting flowers· ········
"Because I haven't found the source of the counterfeit phones yet."
Upon hearing this, the sanitation workers instantly understood what Xu Lei meant.
"Just because you haven't found the source and can't cut off the sale of counterfeit phones at its root, are you just going to let them go unchecked?"
"Xu Lei, Xu Lei, you really are a businessman through and through!"
Xu Lei simply nodded in response and didn't say anything more.
On the contrary, An Xin, who was standing to the side, became anxious.
"Big brother, listen to me first!"
"Xu Lei's actions were certainly wrong, but the child was unaware of the situation and is innocent!"
"How about this? You release the child first, and then I'll take Xu Lei back to the police station. I'll definitely give you a satisfactory explanation afterward. What do you think?"
Faced with An Xin's maneuvering, the sanitation worker simply laughed.
. 0 0
"Officer An, I know you're a good policeman, but my child is dead, do you understand?"
"Even if you sentence Xu Lei to prison and make him spend his whole life in jail, do you think you can bring my son back to life?"
Seeing the sanitation workers' readiness to give up their lives, An Xin knew that nothing she said would make a difference.
He turned to look at Xu Lei, placing all his hopes on him.
Xu Lei did not disappoint him.
“Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. In the end, this matter is my fault, not the child’s.”
"How about this, Officer An handcuffs me, and then we'll exchange me for your child, what do you think?"
Upon hearing Xu Lei's words, the sanitation worker looked at Xiao Chen, who was trembling, pondered for a few seconds, and finally nodded.
He picked up Xiaochen, and Anxin handcuffed Xu Lei's hands behind his back.
It's too late, but it's soon.
When Xu Lei walked up to the sanitation worker.
With a click, the handcuffs opened.
Having broken free of his restraints, Xu Lei snatched the watermelon knife from the sanitation worker, pinned him to the ground, and handcuffed him.
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and save the child!"
Chen Shuting shouted from a distance.
......
This incident quickly made headlines across major news outlets, and the phrase "counterfeit mobile phone" further fueled the anger of the people of Jinghai.
They took to the internet to condemn the unscrupulous merchants who sell counterfeit mobile phones.
The Xu father and son, who had witnessed all of this, frowned slightly.
Chapter 179 Meng Dehai's Sudden Realization
The news only reported on the explosion of the counterfeit mobile phone that took the life of an innocent child, but did not expose the subsequent kidnapping case.
happen.
The Xu father and son, who had just returned from the city, witnessed this incident from downstairs.
"Dad, Xu Lei really has some impressive skills!"
"In this way, his reputation will not be affected in the slightest, and he can take the opportunity to suppress our business."
"No wonder he was able to climb from a nobody rich kid to his current high position!"
Xiao Xu snorted, but there was even a hint of praise in his words.
"Unfortunately, Xu Lei, despite his meticulous planning, never anticipated that we, father and son, would witness everything!"
Xu Jianguo gave a cold laugh and continued, "You're more familiar with the online stuff. Now go turn on your computer and make sure to tell everyone about this!"
After saying that, Xu Jianguo walked out of his house.
Not a moment.
He arrived at the online newspaper under Meng Yu's name with the number "100".
After briefly explaining his purpose, he entered Meng Yu's office.
Huang Xi happened to be there too.
"Ladies, I know you've been emphasizing the authenticity of your posts."
"Therefore, I brought evidence."
Xu Jianguo took out his mobile phone.
In his photo album, there are several relatively blurry photos.
Upon closer inspection, one can indeed vaguely see the figures of An Xin and Xu Lei.
"Although I don't know exactly what happened back then, this kidnapping case must be related to Xu Lei and counterfeit mobile phones."
"I would like to trouble you two ladies to do your part and get this story on the front page so that more people can understand the truth!"
Seeing that Xu Jianguo had already put his words to this point.
Meng Yu and Huang Xi naturally couldn't defend Xu Lei, so they had no choice but to edit a news article in front of him.
