Early the next morning, Xue Chen put the porcelain imitation of the mid-Qing Dynasty in the Republic of China into the underground storage room. Although its value was not high, only three to five thousand yuan, its meaning was by no means ordinary and it symbolized something.
As soon as he locked the door of the storage room, his cell phone rang rapidly, and when he picked it up, he heard Uncle Shen's anxious and heavy voice.
"Zixi is missing in London!"
These eight short words made Xue Chen's heart tremble violently, and he felt that something bad had happened.
"Uncle Shen, tell me slowly, what exactly is going on." Xue Chen took a breath and said.
Shen Wanjun explained the matter in detail. Just an hour ago, a phone call was made to him. The caller was none other than Shen Zixi's college classmate who was holding a wedding in London.
The college classmate told Shen Wanjun very anxiously that Shen Zixi disappeared last night. She could not be contacted by phone and she never returned to the hotel.
Half a world away and in a foreign country, Shen Wanjun was completely at a loss. Calling the police? It seemed useless. That was London.
The female classmate said that she had already reported the case to the police, but because the person had been missing for less than twelve hours, the police did not take any specific measures. They only communicated briefly and said that the patrol police would pay attention to the situation.
After understanding what happened, Xue Chen felt anxious for a while, but he knew very well that being anxious was of no use, especially since Uncle Shen was definitely most worried about getting angry now. If he messed up the situation again, the situation would be even worse.
"Xue Chen, what should I do now? Oh, why did the person disappear?" Shen Wanjun couldn't help sighing. Through the flashlight, Xue Chen could imagine how uncomfortable Uncle Shen was at this time.
Xue Chen thought about it, and first comforted Uncle Shen with a few words: "Uncle Shen, don't worry, Zixi people are very smart, nothing will happen to them. Maybe new news will come soon, and Zixi's daughter Give me your classmate’s contact information and I’ll communicate with her.”
After getting the contact information of Shen Zixi's university classmate, Xue Chen didn't waste a second and immediately dialed the number. When the call was connected, Xue Chen didn't say any nonsense: "I am Shen Zixi's friend, you Now tell me what happened, what happened, how did the person disappear?!"
He was already a little annoyed. Someone he knew went to London to attend a wedding, but suddenly disappeared. This female classmate from the university had an unshirkable responsibility!
After two or three seconds of silence on the other side of the phone, a woman's apologetic voice came: "I'm sorry, I am responsible for Zixi's disappearance. I will tell you the situation now."
The female classmate narrated the whole thing in detail, but it was very simple. The wedding had ended yesterday. Shen Zixi decided to stay one night and then take a flight the next day, which was today's flight.
Last night, the newlyweds held a banquet and invited many relatives and friends to the dinner. By the time the dinner was over, it was already dark.
The female classmate helped Shen Zixi call a taxi back to the hotel, but Shen Zixi completely disappeared after getting in the taxi. The phone could not be reached, and she did not return to the hotel.
When she realized that Shen Zixi might be missing and in danger, the female classmate immediately reported it to the police. However, because the talent disappeared overnight, the police did not pay much attention to it and only asked the patrol officers on the street to pay attention.
"I'm really sorry. I insisted on letting Zi Xi come to London. If something happens to her, I..." The woman on the other side of the phone sobbed softly.
"Don't cry yet. Let me ask you, why do you think Zi Xi disappeared and what are the possibilities?" Xue Chen frowned and interrupted his daughter's crying.
The woman opposite's sobs softened a lot, and she whispered in a sad voice: "I'm sorry, I don't know, I really don't know, I don't know why Zixi disappeared, I don't know why she didn't return to the hotel.
"
After realizing that he couldn't get any useful information out of this woman's mouth, Xue Chen told the woman to tell him as soon as he had any news. After hanging up the phone, he thought about it.
Called Wu Yue.
He hoped that Wu Yue, who was well-informed, could give him some useful advice. Thinking of Zi Xi's mysterious disappearance in a foreign country, he felt very impatient, fearing that any accident would happen to Zi Xi.
When the call got through, he told Wu Yue the whole thing quickly and in detail. Wu Yue didn't interrupt and listened quietly: "Director Wu, I hope you can give me some advice on what to do now.
.”
Wu Yue pondered for a moment and said seriously: "This matter is quite troublesome. If you want the local police to seriously search for your missing friend, unless there are great public opinion conditions that force the police to pay attention to this matter, I
I have been to London several times. It was an international metropolis at that time with a long history, but the situation there was also very complicated. First, I could try to contact some friends to see if I could get in touch with people from the embassy in London.
contact with……"
"Thank you." Xue Chen said sincerely.
"But that's not enough. Maybe, some people can help you..."
"who?"
"The Hongmen Grand Hall..." Wu Yue said, the Hongmen Grand Hall has developed a lot of influence abroad, especially in Europe and the United States. It has certain capabilities. There must be branch organizations in cities like London. If you can get
With some help from the Hongmen Grand Hall, maybe things will turn around.
With almost no hesitation, Xue Chen said hello, and then asked Wu Yue for the contact information of the upper-class people who had the right to speak in the Hongmen Grand Hall. Although he had the contact information of Chu Fenglong, the conflict between the two was not small.
The possibility of getting Chu Fenglong to agree is extremely slim.
Wu Yue also knew that there was a lot of grievance between Xue Chen and the Hongmen Grand Hall. After thinking about it, he gave a phone number and said that this person was a high-ranking person in the Hongmen Grand Hall and his status in the entire Hongmen Grand Hall was high.
Ranked in the top ten, I have met him many times. He is a relatively sensible and sensible person. If there is anyone in the Hongmen Grand Hall who can agree to help with this matter, it must be this person.
Xue Chen didn't have time to say any words of thanks. Now he wanted to break it in half in one second and dialed the number as soon as the phone was hung up.
As soon as the call was dialed, a slightly surprised voice came from the other side: "Mr. Xue Chen?"
The other party directly handed over his name. Xue Chen was not surprised. Many people knew his contact information. Obviously, this person knew it and recorded it on his mobile phone.
"Mr. Jiao, my name is Xue Chen. I'm calling this because I want to ask for help on something."
The person on the other side pondered for a moment and said, "You tell me, and I'll listen."
Xue Chen didn't know whether the other person would be willing to help, but he still briefly talked about the matter. At the end, he said seriously: "If you can help me, then I owe you a favor."
Mr. Jiao on the other side smiled faintly and thought about it for more than ten seconds: "I'll first communicate with the people in London to understand the situation, and then I'll call you. By the way, I'd like to remind you that you should book a flight.
Well, according to what you just said, your friend should have fallen into the hands of a local gang that is involved in kidnapping and trafficking in people. This kind of thing is not uncommon. You can now fly to London."
Xue Chen turned on his mobile phone and took a look at the flight routes. The nearest flight took off in Haicheng City, and the flight to London happened to take off an hour and a half later.
When he booked the ticket, Mr. Jiao's phone number was called back.
"I have already contacted the people in London. Let me ask you a question first. What does your female friend look like, what is her figure, her age, and whether she is a virgin..."
Xue Chen didn't know why the other party asked these questions, but he still said it. As for the last personal question, he said he didn't know, but after thinking about it, according to his understanding of Shen Zixi's character and the influence of Shen Wanjun, he was relatively conservative.
After hearing this, the other party exclaimed: "Young, beautiful, and maybe...yes, if that's the case, then your friend's situation may be better, and maybe he won't suffer any hardships for the time being."
Mr. Jiao also explained everything in the following words. If a person suddenly disappears abroad, apart from the possibility of being accidentally robbed, there is a high probability that it is done by a premeditated and organized gang.
"London is an international metropolis. It's bright and beautiful on the surface, but there are places where the sun can't be found. Countless people are doing illegal things in the dark, especially those less illegal immigrants, such as Albanians and Yugoslavs.
People, Mexicans, etc..."
Xue Chen frowned and listened quietly.
"People in London said that recently, several foreign tourists have disappeared in large areas of London. Coincidentally, most of them are relatively young women. They said that someone should be engaged in human trafficking.
It is a business to transport and sell the kidnapped women. As for where they will be sold, it is hard to say. There are two main gangs engaged in this kind of business, namely Albanians and Mexicans..."
"If your people can help me find my friend, I can pay enough reward, 100 million, how about it?" Xue Chen took a deep breath.
"Oh, you are very generous. I think the people in London also want it very much. Okay, I will convey your wishes to the people in London. They will definitely be willing to help for the money, but
Whether it can really be found is still unknown. In my opinion, it may be at most 30%, or even less. Therefore, Mr.
