It was very cold, and Yang Duo was shivering from the cold. She had already put on enough clothes, even covering her face tightly, but there had been no cold wind outside for a long time, and she could not suppress her body's natural reaction.

Song Xiaoting gave the gun to Yang Duo and taught Yang Duo how to use the gun. However, Chu Xiang knew that this was in vain. It was a delusion to allow a weak woman to use a rifle in a short time. However, Chu Xiang did not stop Song Xiaoting because what he gave was not

Strength, but confidence.

Jiangcheng is not far away, less than 30 kilometers away. It is a medium-sized city. Before the drastic change, it was a city second only to the provincial capital. The three of us walked the 30 kilometers of road in a day. If we didn't take Yang Duo with us, we could get there in two hours.

.

This is an ancient city. After the drastic change, the newly built urban area extended based on the ancient city wall, forming a city with a length and width of about three kilometers.

"Jiangcheng is right there. The next section of the road is very dangerous. You must be very alert." Chu Xiang pointed at the building in front and warned.

"We're about to enter the city, shouldn't it be safe?" Song Xiaoting asked in confusion.

"Hurry into the city. The last step is the most dangerous step before you enter the city. When it gets dark, many people will ambush on the only way back to the city, specifically to attack and kill those returning to the city. They usually hide in the snow.

In the field, we call such people Voldemort." Chu Xiang said.

"They specialize in killing people and eating human flesh?" Song Xiaoting's face changed a little.

"Yes, they are not hunting wild beasts, but hunters for food." Chu Xiang said.

Song Xiaoting almost vomited. She thought of the fat palm on the plate, the shopkeeper's palm.

"Pay attention to your surroundings and don't leave my two-meter range." Chu Xiang said solemnly.

If it was just to protect Song Xiaoting, it would be very simple, but with Yang Duo who had no ability to protect herself, Chu Xiang was not sure that he could guarantee her safety 100%.

It was easy to distinguish a weak step. Soon the three of them encountered the first attack. The attacker sprang out from the snow and slashed at Yang Duo. Yang Duo didn't react at all. He couldn't react at all. He didn't know.

The knife has reached his head.

Song Xiaoting drew her sword, but as soon as the sword came out of its sheath, Chu Xiang kicked the person away and landed in the snow more than ten meters away. She didn't know whether she was alive or dead.

The target of Voldemort's second attack was Song Xiaoting. Song Xiaoting reacted in time and the two started fighting. Seeing that the attacker failed to succeed, Chu Xiang immediately wanted to escape, but Chu Xiang did not give him a chance to escape and chopped the person down on the snow with a knife.

middle.

The three of them encountered six attacks. Fortunately, the three of them did not encounter Voldemort who was acting together and did not put any pressure on Chu Xiang. After all, it was better for Voldemort to do things by himself.

After successfully entering the city, Song Xiaoting helped Yang Duo hide the rifle under her coat. The soldiers at the city gate looked at the three of them but did not search them. Who doesn't bring some self-defense weapons these days, let alone two women, who is not tolerant to women.

Women always attract people's attention, let alone a woman who doesn't look ugly and ignores the person following her. In the city, the person shouldn't be so bold to attack her.

After finding a mobile station to stay, Chu Xiang asked the waiter to deliver the food directly to the room, without staying too much in the lobby, so as not to attract more attention and cause greater trouble.

Chu Xiang opened a suite, and the three of them went up to the room. Chu Xiang carefully checked the room to make sure there was no eavesdropping camera equipment before sitting down.

"From the time we entered the city until now, eleven people have been eyeing us. It may not be eleven people, but eleven groups." Chu Xiang looked at the two people and said.

"What should we do?" Yang Duo asked worriedly.

"They shouldn't dare to take action in the city, but it will hinder our plan." Chu Xiang said.

"Can we get rid of them?" Song Xiaoting asked.

"You have to understand that even if we get rid of them, there will be others." Chu Xiang said.

Song Xiaoting didn't know what to do. For the first time, she felt the difficulties of being a woman. Two women could bring such big troubles, and how could any woman gain a stable foothold in this world?

"Don't go out tomorrow, just stay in this room. It's safe here for the time being. I'll go out to investigate the situation and see if I can find any clues." Chu Xiang said.

Yang Duo was very tired after walking for a day, so she went to bed after eating. She knew that she couldn't help, and the best way to help was not to cause trouble to others.

"What should we do if we find her daughter?" Song Xiaoting asked.

"That depends on what you want to do." Chu Xiang said.

Song Xiaoting fell into deep thought. This was a difficult problem to solve. No matter what she wanted to do, it was still a thorny problem.

"I'm going out for a walk. You stay here and don't come out." Chu Xiang warned, took the key and went out.

The nights are long and the dreams are many. Although this is a mobile station, it cannot guarantee 100% safety. You cannot kill people and set fires. It does not mean that you cannot use other methods. There are many tricks in the world, and there are all kinds of deception and abduction. Women like Song Xiaoting and Yang Duo, who have no experience in the world, are...

He was abducted and sold without even knowing it.

Now that they have just moved in, those people don't dare to take action immediately. They will first inquire about the target and make sure it is a target that can be taken action. This process usually takes half a day. It is already dark now, and people are more alert at night than during the day.

, they generally don’t test at night.

Chu Xiang's idea was very simple. Taking advantage of this safe time, he would first check out the Jiangcheng Children's Shelter to see if he could find any information. It would be great if he could find Qian Huixin. If he couldn't find it, he could also understand the situation.

Be prepared for the next step.

No one was peeping in the corridor outside. Chu Xiang immediately changed his appearance after going out. He went to the shopping mall of the mobile station to change clothes, put on several coats, and then went to the former site of the children's shelter in the east of the city.

Jiangcheng Children's Shelter no longer exists, and the old site has been transformed into a government office. Unless someone protects a child, it is impossible for a child to survive, and most people cannot protect a child. Chu Xiang has not seen a child in more than a year.

The Jiangcheng Children's Shelter no longer houses children and has lost its proper functions. It was closed down almost a year ago and converted into a government office.

The former site of the shelter was not big, with only two buildings. The door sign read Jiangcheng Government Planning Bureau. There were soldiers on duty at the door, and there were lights on in some rooms. Chu Xiang walked around and found no threats, so he sneaked into the planning bureau.

Enter a room with a light on and a Director's Office sign on the door.

The middle-aged man who was dealing with documents was a little surprised when he discovered that there was a stranger on the other side of the table. He found that Chu Xiang did not have the vicious look of killing people and setting fires. He calmed down a little and said in a deep voice: "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Chu Xiang pulled a chair over and sat down, saying: "It doesn't matter who I am. The purpose of coming here is very simple. I want to know all the information related to the children's shelter."

The middle-aged man frowned slightly and said, "The children's shelter has been disbanded long ago. Who knows what happened so long ago."

"It won't do any good to treat me lightly. My patience is limited." Chu Xiang said.

"It has been more than a year since the renovation here. I don't know where the information is. Those surviving children have disappeared long ago. You can't find out the results even if you want to check." The middle-aged man said.

"I heard that government officials like to do Tai Chi. I didn't believe it before, but now I firmly believe it." Chu Xiangdao picked up a pen and said to the middle-aged man: "If your hand is nailed to the table

What would it feel like?"

The middle-aged man's face changed slightly and he said, "I really don't know. I've only been transferred here for four months."

"Who knows?"

"Let me think about it first. It's been too long. Even our leaders have changed several times. There are very few people who know the relevant situation. There is nothing I can do." The middle-aged man said.

Chu Xiang sneered and suddenly took action, passing the pen through the back of the middle-aged man's hand and inserting it into the hard tabletop.

The middle-aged man screamed, his whole body trembling under the severe pain, sweat suddenly fell like rain, and his teeth chattered.

"What now?" Chu Xiang said.

The middle-aged man closed his mouth tightly and had no intention of opening his mouth. He was actually very tough.

"Sooner or later, we have to say, why suffer more, or do you think the shelter has some serious implications, so you have to hold on?" Chu Xiang stared at the middle-aged man and said.

The middle-aged man lowered his head slightly to avoid Chu Xiang's eyes. He kept breathing in the cold air, but still had no intention of speaking.

"Okay, then I can only go to your superior. I believe he will be very interested in you betraying him."

"If you touch him, he will never escape the government's pursuit." The middle-aged man said.

"I don't want to kill him. I just told him that you betrayed him and the situation in the children's shelter has been exposed. I told him to run for his life." Chu said to the old god.

"The director is so smart, how could he be deceived by you?" the middle-aged man said.

"I'm worried that he's not smart enough and doesn't think enough." Chu Xiangshou said with a smile.

The middle-aged man's hands were shaking a little. He didn't know whether it was because he was in too much pain or because he was afraid.

Chu Xiang searched for the middle-aged man's cell phone, searched for a while in the address book, and found a number called Director Zhao. He showed the phone to the middle-aged man and asked, "Is this your director?"

"No." The middle-aged man said.

"Then I can only make a call." Chu Xiang said, dialing the number.

The phone rang a few times, and Chu Xiang suddenly hung up the phone again and said, "It seems like this is a bit bad, what if it's not?"

After a while, Chu Xiang said: "It doesn't matter if it's not the case. It doesn't seem to be a shameful thing to make a phone call in the middle of the night to catch up on feelings." After that, he dialed Director Zhao's number again, but before the person over there answered.

After the phone rang four times, Chu Xiang suddenly hung up again.

Chu Xiang looked at the middle-aged man and showed a weird smile. The middle-aged man didn't know why. After a while, his face suddenly changed. His hands stopped shaking and his waist straightened. Instead, his lips began to tremble and his teeth became a little bit...

Trembling, he said, "I'll tell you whatever you want to know."

Chu Xiang smiled. These people in the officialdom are the most suspicious. They made two calls in the middle of the night but hung up again. Who knows what Director Zhao on the other side would think. If he is really the director of this planning bureau, then

It’s even more fun. Judging from the middle-aged man’s reaction, it’s obvious that Director Zhao is the Director of the Planning Bureau.

"Just rest assured, I won't implicate you in matters that have nothing to do with you." Chu Xiang said, reassuring the middle-aged man.

"A gentleman's words make his horse whip faster." The middle-aged man said.

"Don't worry." Chu Xiang nodded.

"The children's shelter was disbanded a year ago, and the remaining eleven children were taken away. I don't know where they were taken. I heard they were taken away at night. I don't know the specific circumstances. I still don't know about this situation.

I heard it from a drunk colleague, and I heard it is related to some big shots." The middle-aged man said.

"Your director doesn't know, either?"

"I don't know about this, I may or may not know it," the middle-aged man said.

"Then why are you so afraid of me calling your director?"
