Mo Shaocheng was anxious and immediately sent more people to look for it together.
The sky was clear and there was not a single cloud. Zheng Ziye received a call from the household registration department early in the morning, saying that new regulations had recently been introduced and it would be troublesome, and asked him to wait.
He couldn't wait any longer. After comforting Shen Manman, he went to the police station alone to inquire about the situation and asked her to rest well at home.
It was too late last night, and it was almost dawn before the two of them went to bed.
When she woke up, it was after nine o'clock. There was breakfast left by Zheng Ziye in the microwave. She heated it for thirty seconds and ate the hot breakfast.
After washing up, Shen Manman was about to go out for a walk when she suddenly received a call from Mo Shaocheng.
She hung up without thinking.
Then, a WeChat message was sent. When Shen Manman saw it, his pupils instantly dilated and he immediately called back.
"Where are you? I'll go find you right now."
"We are about to rush to Mayao Town. You can also drive over and we will meet there."
"good."
Zheng Ziye has many cars, and the car keys are all in the drawer. She can drive whichever one she wants.
Shen Manman randomly found a key and took it out.
The red sports car. When she first met Zheng Ziye, the car he drove had a layer of dust on it. It must have been a long time since it was driven out.
Pressing the accelerator to the bottom, the sports car instantly jumped out of the underground garage.
After turning on the navigation system, Shen Manman was traveling very fast, and her heart was jumping up and down with anxiety, wishing she could grow a pair of wings and fly away.
There were few cars on the expressway and the speed was fast. After more than an hour, she got off the expressway and talked on the phone with Mo Shaocheng in the car.
"I'm almost there, where have you been?"
"I'm almost there too, please turn on the shared location and I'll check the distance."
"good."
Turning on her phone, Mo Shaocheng's shared location application was sent to her. When she clicked on it, she discovered that the two red dots were almost next to each other.
Shen Manman looked ahead again and saw Mo Shaocheng's car not far away.
He used full speed, and the distance between the two cars became smaller and smaller, gradually becoming even.
The car window fell, and Mo Shaocheng glanced at Shen Manman, "Would you like to park the car on the side of the road and get in my car?"
"No need, this is fine."
"Well, it's up to you."
After that, the two cars remained in tandem.
By a river in Mayao Town, there is a large withered and yellowing reed swamp, as tall as a person, swaying in the autumn wind.
It's cold and silent.
Jiang Lige was tied up with five flowers, her mouth was pressed against her feet, her eyes were full of fear, she was scared for the first time in her life, and it was even more terrifying than the people Mo Shaocheng sent to torture her day and night.
She kept moving her body and moving backwards, but the man approaching step by step was full of murderous intent.
"What's the point of struggling? It's all death anyway, what do you think?"
Jiang Lige shook his head desperately and made a painful sound, but this did not cause any disturbance in the man's eyes.
"Jiang Lige, I didn't want to show up, and I will never show up in my life. But you dare to hurt her? It's fine if I didn't know two years ago, but now that I know, how can I let you go so easily?"
Suddenly, the man grabbed her hair and pulled hard, "You should never, never, never think about harming her. Jiang Lige, if you touch her, I will kill you."
The man's tone was very calm, and when he said murderous words, he was as light as killing a chicken.
He spat in her face and then dragged her towards the river by her hair.
The river water gradually submerged his calf, and Jiang Lige was in extreme pain. When he walked to a place he felt was appropriate, the man remained expressionless.
He grabbed her hair from behind and pushed her face into the river, as if punishing her.
This feeling of dying was too painful, but every time she was about to die, she could take a breath of air, and then the next critical point of death would come.
Over and over again, Jiang Lige was tortured until he went crazy.
Maybe enough was enough, and the man said grimly, "Jiang Lige, go to hell."
When he pressed it this time, he didn't think about letting her live again.
The water was still for a few seconds, and suddenly, a voice came, "Brother, brother..."
The man was startled, and immediately untied Jiang Lige's rope and the tape on his mouth, and hurriedly threw them into the reed swamp.
By then, Shen Manman and Mo Shaocheng had already arrived, and the surrounding area was deserted. It was too late for him to hide.
He flopped in the water a few times and dragged the dying Jiang Lige ashore.
Shen Manman was startled again, "Jiang Lige? Isn't she receiving treatment abroad? How could she drown?"
There were ten thousand question marks in her mind, but in an instant, Shen Lei and Mo Shaocheng reached a silent tacit understanding, and no one revealed it.
"Perhaps he ran back by himself." Mo Shaocheng looked at Xiao Zhang, "See if he's dead?"
Xiao Zhang used his hands to test his breath. The breath was very weak, but it was true that he was not dead. "There is still breath."
"Since he's still alive, let's take him to the hospital."
It didn't matter if she didn't die, he hadn't tortured her enough yet, so he died like this, and it was too easy for her.
"Okay, Mr. Mo."
Shen Manman didn't think too much. She was more focused on Shen Lei now.
She had not seen each other for so many years that she lost count. Her tears fell uncontrollably and she threw herself into his arms, "Brother, where have you been all these years? Why don't you go home? Why don't you come back to us?" .Do you know that dad is no longer here, but he was still thinking of you before he died."
Shen Manman cried so hard that her voice became hoarse due to longing, grievances, and even some complaints.
Shen Lei choked with sobs and hugged her with his big rough hands, "Manman, don't cry anymore. My brother is back and I won't let anyone bully you anymore."
On the way back, Shen Manman drove and Shen Lei sat in the passenger seat. After calming down, the brother and sister talked a lot about each other.
From Shen Lei's words, he learned that he was stuck in a traffic jam on the Winding Mountain Highway and accidentally fell off. When he woke up, he lost his memory. By chance, he moved to Country J and became a sailor.
He spends 300 of the 365 days a year at sea, so very few people know him. This should be the reason why Mo Shaocheng sent people to find no trace of him in these years.
It was not long ago that he recovered his memory and hurried back.
It's not that Shen Manman didn't believe it, but she always felt that there were a lot of things that didn't make sense, "Brother, since you're back, why didn't you come to me as soon as possible instead of coming to Mayao Town and meeting me by chance? Drowning Jiang Lige?"
These experiences have allowed Shen Lei to develop a calm character and act calmly.
The reason why he came to Jiang Lige in the first place was very simple. He planned to leave secretly after getting to know Jiang Lige, and had no intention of meeting the Shen Manman brothers and sisters.
