The profile showed a sixteen-year-old girl with an oval face, a high nose bridge, and youthful beauty that could not be concealed even by her loose school uniform.

Han Bingjie, female, 16 years old, is a freshman in Beiyang No. 13 Middle School. She ran away from home half a year ago and has not been heard from since.

The Han family lives in Unit 6, Building 507, Lianhua Community.

When Zhang Hui and Xiao Qingze arrived at the entrance of the community unit, a woman in her forties who was dressed very fashionably passed by them.

Huh? Zhang Hui thought the woman looked familiar, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

When he knocked on the door of Room 507, there was no movement in the room. Xiao Qingze asked, "Is he not at home?"

Zhang Hui's ears moved, and there was a faint breathing sound in the room. He said to Xiao Qingze: "There is someone in the room."

Xiao Qingze knocked on the door again, and there was a sound of a bench being knocked over inside the house, followed by someone walking around, and then without any warning, the door was suddenly opened.

A big bearded face stretched out, looked them up and down with drunken eyes, and said vaguely: "Are you the police?"

Xiao Qingze showed him his ID, and the man opened the door and let them in.

A strong smell of cigarettes and alcohol filled the room. Zhang Hui was choked unexpectedly and started coughing.

Xiao Qingze took a few steps forward, quickly opened the curtains, and opened the window to let in fresh air.

The coffee table and the floor were littered with wine bottles, takeout boxes, and other sundries.

The sofa in the living room was obviously used as a bed by the drunkard in front of him, with a thick quilt piled on it in a messy manner.

"Well, sit anywhere." The man scratched his head and yawned.

Xiao Qingze looked around, pulled out a stool for Zhang Hui, and found a folding chair for himself.

The man felt his head buzzing and yawned continuously. He went into the bathroom and took a quick shower as quickly as possible.

Zhang Hui was speechless. He was the first one who could take a shower so calmly when there was a stranger at home.

"Is this your daughter Han Bingjie?"

"Well, yes, she has been away from home for six months and nine days." The man, who was in much better spirits, told the time when his daughter disappeared almost without thinking.

Then she disappeared during the summer vacation. Zhang Hui calculated the time and asked him, "Before she ran away from home, was there anything different?"

Han Liang shook his head: "I've been thinking about it for half a year, but I can't figure out why she ran away from home."

"She was fine the day before. She asked me to give her some money because she was going to the pedestrian street with her friends to buy some clothes."

"She disappeared the next day, along with her backpack. She disappeared without any warning."

As Han Liang spoke, tears began to flow.

Zhang Hui asked again: "Where is Han Bingjie's mother Liu Xiaohui?"

Oh, she remembered why the woman who passed by at the door of the unit downstairs looked familiar. Her eyebrows, eyes and nose were exactly the same as Han Bingjie's.

When Han Liang heard her asking about Han Bingjie's mother, his face turned a little ugly, and he stammered, "She can't come because of something."

Zhang Hui thought that there must be something going on, because the person had just left, but he said he couldn't come.

But this won’t have any impact. Han Liang just needs to follow him. He is his biological father.

After explaining the situation in a few words, Han Liang naturally cooperated very well in order to get his daughter back.

Following the red line between his eyebrows, the three of them left the city center and headed out of the city.

This is Leyun Town, the closest to the city center, with a permanent population of about 400,000. Although the town is small, it has everything it needs. There are no large factories, but there are many small ones.

Following Zhang Hui's instruction, the car left the main street, turned right onto a small road, and stopped in front of a residential building.

The paint on the exterior of this house has peeled off, and the spots are quite old. The main door is a double-leaf wooden door, which has a sense of age.

"She's here?" Han Liang was a little unbelievable. He knew his daughter best. She was a bit of a germaphobe. How could she have lived here for half a year?

Zhang Hui listened carefully. There were quite a few people inside and there were faint sounds of machines running. Was this kid working here?

“Just ask and you’ll know.” He knocked for a long time, but perhaps because of the loud noise inside, no one heard him.

Zhang Hui was a little impatient. Xiao Qingze was afraid that she would step on Tian Lingsha again and climb over the wall to get in, which would be really fun.

He had no choice but to sacrifice himself. He gathered all his strength and shouted, "Open the door! Is there anyone there?"

This time it worked, I could hear someone opening the door and walking out in the yard.

Zhang Hui pursed his lips to hold back his laughter. Young Master Xiao has always been gentle and polite. He has never drunk so hard before. Today is a new experience for him.

Xiao Qingze's handsome face turned red, knowing that she would laugh at him.

A woman in her fifties came out and asked warily, "What do you do?"

Han Liang asked anxiously, "Hello, big sister. I'm here to look for my daughter. Her name is Han Bingjie. Is she here?"

The woman was startled, the vigilance in her eyes faded, and she asked again: "Are you really here to look for the child?"

Han Liang was almost going crazy: "Yes, sister, my daughter has been away from home for more than half a year. Is she here?"

"Come in." The eldest sister let the three of them in and then quickly closed the door.

"Xiao Jie, come out for a moment." The eldest sister raised her voice and shouted.

Zhang Hui looked back and saw three rooms on each side of the yard. Someone in the first room on the left answered him.

After a while, two little girls about fifteen or sixteen years old ran out happily.

Who else could that little girl on the right be but Han Bingjie?

Han Liang was surprised and happy. He looked the child up and down carefully several times before he felt relieved.

"You little bitch, why don't you just talk about it calmly instead of running away from home!"

"Let's go! Go back with Dad!" Han Liang said as he was about to pull her hand and leave.

Han Bingjie shook off her father's hand and said, "I won't leave! I want to make money here!"

"What? Make money? How can a girl like you who is not even an adult make money?" Han Liang felt a little strange at his daughter's resistance.

Since when did she stop acting like a spoiled child to me and no longer need her dad?

"Xiao Jie, go back with your father." The eldest sister advised.

Han Bingjie's eyes suddenly turned red: "I won't leave! I can support myself!"

Han Liang was a little at a loss, not understanding why his daughter would say those words.

Suddenly, he remembered a one-sided quarrel he had with his wife Liu Xiaohui six months ago.

Liu Xiaohui scolded him for not being able to earn money to support the family and not being able to tutor her daughter...

Did his daughter hear this? In March of the first half of this year, he was fired by the company for some reason.

After that, I haven't found a suitable job, so I just rest at home.

At first, Liu Xiaohui would comfort him, but later she would give him a cold look from time to time.

He also knew that it was not easy for a woman like her to support the family, so he didn't care no matter how Liu Xiaohui scolded him.

However, influenced by the current social environment, he stayed at home for three months without finding a suitable job.

Liu Xiaohui's temper became more and more violent, but she knew how to do it behind her daughter's back, and the two of them never quarreled in front of the child.

Unexpectedly, his daughter heard it. He wiped his face and said, "Xiao Jie, this is between your mother and me. You don't have to worry. You are just a kid. Just focus on studying!"

"Then can you promise not to divorce my mother?" Han Bingjie raised her head and looked at her father with eager eyes.

Han Liang was startled. What did his daughter know that made her ask this question?

The topic of divorce was first brought up by Liu Xiaohui last summer.

He did not agree, and although the family of three was not rich, they lived a happy life. Liu Xiaohui did not say why they divorced.

He vaguely felt that Liu Xiaohui had an affair. She dressed up neatly all day long, which was completely different from the simple and unpretentious girl she used to be.

He observed carefully and found that Liu Xiaohui's clothes, cosmetics, etc. had new changes, which were totally beyond the affordability of a small employee like her.

In daily life, she avoided him and delayed as much as possible. Only then did he realize that Liu Xiaohui really didn't want to live with him anymore.

This was a bit cruel to him who was still deeply in love with Liu Xiaohui. He thought that maybe things would be better if he found a job.

Until one day, he received a call asking him to go to a certain place for an interview.

When he was about to leave after the interview, he heard a familiar voice, it was Liu Xiaohui.

Through a door, I could hear her smiling sweetly, "Lao Liu, thank you for your help. I will divorce him when he gets a job. Otherwise, he won't be able to raise the child."

So that's how it is. He felt mixed emotions, but he could only escape.
