Red Bean Lives in the Republic of China - Chapter 10.2

Chapter 10.2
Peter Wang was silent for a few seconds, carefully scrutinising Yu Hongdou’s expression with drunken eyes, and asked lazily, “Miss Yu, you often read newspapers, right? Then you should know that there have been many people missing in Shanghai recently. There are always one or two kidnapping cases every month. According to the practice of dismantling the White Party, after they kidnap someone, they will often take the initiative to contact the kidnapped family within a week. Right now, your cousin has just disappeared for two days. God, all you need to do is look for your cousin’s whereabouts and wait for the kidnapper’s call.”
Hearing such words, Yu Hongdou felt cold over her body.
He Yunqin, who was listening to the conversation, put down his water glass, leaned back in his chair, and stared at Yu Hongdou with deep eyes.
“You should be aware that although these demolition parties often cause trouble, they only want money and don’t intend to hurt people. After they receive the money, they will release people without any harm. As far as I know, except for a few cases, almost all the kidnapping cases in the past years were like that,” Inspector Wang said.
Yu Hongdou responded calmly, “I’m worried that the kidnappers will harm my cousin.”
“Mr. He works with my cousin at the same university. So if you have met her before, you should know how beautiful she is. I’m afraid they will harm my cousin, so I want to find her as soon as possible.” Yu Hongdou looked at He Yunqin and said it with a panicked look.
Hearing that, Peter Wang looked outside the window with an empty gaze and asked in a dull voice, “Is that so?”
Yu Hongdou nodded firmly while replying, “That’s it.”
Peter Wang tapped his fingers on the armrest of the chair; his face turned slightly cold, apparently losing interest in the conversation.
Yu Hongdou didn’t get discouraged by Inspector Wang’s attitude because she got a clear idea about that person at the tea party that day. She knew he was not a person who could easily deal. Therefore, she didn’t intend to just give up.
She straightened her back and said again, “I think Inspector Wang said when he gave me the business card that as long as my request does not involve a large amount of money and does not touch the existing law, you will satisfy it all. Is that true? Now when I came to Inspector Wang to seek help, why would you add so many additional conditions?”
Peter Wang didn’t expect that Yu Hongdou would be so brave to fire back like this, so he was stunned for a while.
Seeing Peter Wang’s stunned face in disbelief, He Yunqin flashed a slight smirk, slowly stood up, took steps towards the bookshelf in the corner of the room, and looked through some messy files there.
Peter Wang quickly came to his senses and launched a counterattack. “If I don’t hear your truth, how can I judge whether I will lose a lot of money and whether I will violate the existing laws? Miss Yu, the premise of cooperation is sincerity. This is not only a tacit understanding but also a universal rule. Before I decide whether to help you, I have the right to hear the truth.”
Yu Hongdou pondered for a while. ‘Chen Baidie’s case was full of ups and downs. Once the case is solved, the policeman who solves it is bound to steal the limelight. With the relationship between Peter Wang and the Police Department, he will not be interested in making wedding clothes for the police.’
But she had no other choice. Every minute they waste, her cousin’s life is in danger.
She just didn’t know why Inspector Wang had fallen out with the current chief of police. So she had to arouse his curiosity to get his help willingly. She thought to start with Wang Meiping’s death case.
“Three months ago, a girl named Wang Meiping came to Shanghai to join her uncle. She was in a similar situation as my cousin and disappeared for no reason. At that time, the police suspected that Wang Meiping had been kidnapped. Ordinary cases of dismantling the White Party and rioting are dealt with, but for three months, her family has never received a call from the kidnappers, and just last Saturday, they finally confirmed that she was dead.”
Those words not only aroused Peter Wang’s attention but also He Yunqin’s.
He Yunqin looked at the young girl with a surprise and asked with a serious tone, “Miss Yu, this is a detail that only the police will know; how did you know?”
Peter Wang also gave her a warning gaze. “Miss Yu?”
Have a nice day!
