From abandoned baby to CEO

Chapter 1316 Even a tiger won’t eat its own cubs!

When the man and the investigators rushed to the suburban bungalow, they found nothing.

The scene was deserted.

Sun Xue, who was extremely anxious, and Zhu Biao also rushed to the scene along with the investigators.

When the room where Hu Zi was imprisoned was opened, everyone was shocked.

The room was messy and cold, and the air was filled with a nauseating, pungent smell.

For several days, Hu Zi's eating, drinking, defecating and urinating were all done in it.

Sun Xue immediately saw a pair of pants on the bed. She pointed at them and shouted:

"Police, those are Hu Zi's pants. I bought him that pair of jeans."

Looking at the familiar pants, Sun Xue's eyes instantly turned red.

The investigators took photos of everything in the house to collect evidence. When they saw an iron chain on the ground, they cursed:

"These people are so cruel. They locked a child in here in such a cold weather and tied him up with chains!"

After hearing what the investigators said, Sun Xue looked at the chain on the ground in shock, and was stunned for a long time...

She simply couldn't believe what the investigators said.

She noticed the chain on the ground as soon as she entered the house.

She thought that the chain was used to tie up dogs, but unexpectedly, it was used to imprison Hu Zi.

She simply couldn't imagine that Hu Zi was chained up in such a cold room...

She just stood in the room for a while and felt the cold air. How did Hu Zi get through these days?

When she thought of Hu Zi curled up on the cold ground, her tears started to flow.

"Chun Ni, you are not a human being. How can you be so cruel? Hu Zi is just a child. Why do you treat him like that? If you are angry, you can come to me!"

Sun Xue couldn't control her anger, she cried and cursed.

"Comrade police officer, this time we must catch the criminal no matter what the cost. We must not let her go and make her pay the price!"

Sun Xue said this indignantly, and it was directed at Chun Ni.

She felt that Chunni was so hateful that she could be so cruel to her own son.

As the saying goes: Even a tiger won’t eat its own cubs!

The investigators carefully inspected the scene and collected evidence. Although they failed to catch the criminal who kidnapped Hu Zi, the case made a major breakthrough.

What is certain is that Hu Zi is still in Quancheng City, and another criminal suspect, Boss Meng, has surfaced.

Although the man did not know Boss Meng's real name, the investigators quickly drew a portrait of Boss Meng based on the man's description.

After layers of screening, the target was finally locked on a suspect named Meng Tao.

After investigation, it was found that Meng Tao, 58 years old, from Pennsylvania, was an unemployed vagrant with a criminal record. He had served decades in prison for intentional injury and wandered around the country after being released from prison.

I came to Quancheng five years ago, and I don’t know what I do...

Investigators immediately investigated Meng Tao's whereabouts and social relations.

At the same time, relevant leaders of the Quancheng Public Security Bureau received a call from Deputy Mayor Wang, who personally inquired about the progress of the case.

After leaving the crime scene, Sun Xue's eyes were red and she couldn't calm down for a long time.

When she thought of the inhuman torture that the simple-minded Hu Zi had suffered, she felt terribly sad.

She was still full of hope as she followed the investigators on their way to capture the criminals.

She thought that this time she would be able to reunite with Hu Zi, who had been missing for many days.

Unexpectedly, they were still a step late.

Now the criminals are hiding somewhere with Hu Zi. What kind of inhuman torture will Hu Zi suffer next?

On the way back, Sun Xue was in a very low mood. Zhu Biao saw Sun Xue's red and swollen eyes and didn't dare to talk to her.

At this time, Sun Xue's phone rang.

The call was from Vice Mayor Wang.

Sun Xue quickly adjusted her mood, answered the phone, and said politely, "Hello, Vice Mayor Wang."

"Xiao Sun, how is the progress plan for the villa project and the film and television base project going?"

Sun Xue hurriedly prevaricated, "Deputy Mayor Wang, I'm working on it."

“When will the plan be available?”

"About a week."

When Vice Mayor Wang heard this, he immediately got angry. "Xiao Sun, what's going on? What did you promise during the meeting?"

"I...I'll make it as soon as possible."

"Xiao Sun, I don't want to hear the word as soon as possible. I want to see your complete plan tomorrow."

Sun Xue could tell that Deputy Mayor Wang was very dissatisfied with her answer.

Her mind was a mess now, especially after seeing the place where Hu Zi was imprisoned, all she could think about was Hu Zi.

Hu Zi's life or death is uncertain, so she can't concentrate on doing other things.

"I understand, Vice Mayor Wang."

Deputy Mayor Wang asked sternly:

"Xiao Sun, our city has been qualified to host the National Games. Do you know how much effort the Quancheng government has put in to achieve this? If your company's villa project and film and television base project cannot be completed on schedule, how much impact will it have on our city's image? Have you considered the consequences?"

"I……"

Sun Xue was speechless when asked.

"Xiao Sun, I have always had high expectations for you. I think you are ambitious and an excellent representative of young entrepreneurs in Quancheng City. You will not fail at the critical moment, right?"

Sun Xue replied in a low voice, "Deputy Mayor Wang, I know."

She really wanted to tell Deputy Mayor Wang about her troubles, but she knew that her troubles were private matters and had nothing to do with work.

Deputy Mayor Wang has no obligation to listen to her private matters, let alone listen to her excuses.

She could only carry out the tasks assigned by Vice Mayor Wang unconditionally.

"Xiao Sun, didn't I tell you? If you have any difficulties, just report them to me and the relevant departments. We will do our best to support your work.

We now have only one goal, which is to complete all tasks before the National Games begins. Do you understand?"

"I see."

"Okay, hand in the project schedule to my office at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. I and the leaders of the relevant departments will review it personally. Can you do that?"

"can."

After hanging up the phone, Sun Xue felt confused.

She knew very well that if she could not hand in the plan to Vice Mayor Wang on time the next morning, she would be regarded as a person of bad faith in his eyes.

Next, she will lose many, many opportunities.

She immediately cheered up and asked Zhu Biao to take her to the company.

She immediately called Pei Shaojie, Liu Bin, and the person in charge of the project.

Unexpectedly, the first phone call undermined her confidence.

Because of her carelessness, she did not inform Pei Shaojie in advance about the modification of the project schedule.

At this moment, Pei Shaojie was on a plane traveling to the south, and his phone could not be reached.

Sun Xue made many calls in a row, but the other party's phone was always turned off.

Sun Xue called Pei Shaojie's family and learned that he was traveling to the south.

She became anxious instantly.

Pei Shaojie is the general manager of these two projects. If he wants to formulate a new plan, he must participate in person.

At this time, it was already afternoon, and there were only a dozen hours left until the next morning.
