A fast-paced transmigration story set in a historical fiction era: The fox spirit is enjoying happin

It wasn't until the original owner, Li Qiao, asked about her sister whom she hadn't seen for many days that Li Bentian revealed the truth.

Li Qiao felt increasingly uneasy as she listened, and asked Chen Yu to investigate.

Chen Yu quickly found out that Li Mai was missing, and that she had been abducted by outsiders.

If it were someone from the provincial capital, Chen Yu's own people would definitely recognize Li Mai.

The reason why Li Bentian didn't take it seriously was that Li Mai wrote "a letter" and sent it to Li Bentian's factory.

The letter roughly stated that he wanted to travel far away with his beloved, leaving the provincial capital.

She told her family not to look for her, as she had already consummated her marriage with the man she loved.

If it weren't for what happened with Zhu Fang's second daughter today, she wouldn't have remembered this detail.

The gang that trafficked Li Mai was definitely related to Zhu Fang's second daughter running away from home.

"Alright, check the recent cases of missing girls to see if there are any similar situations."

She'll ask Zhu Fang's daughter if she's come home when she goes to work tomorrow.

-----

Li Jiaojiao looked around at her workstation, waiting for Zhu Fang.

It's been an hour since we started work. Sister He and Xiao Cui have arrived, but Zhu Fang hasn't come yet.

"Sister He, is Zhu Fang off today?"

Sister He is in charge of human resources. If someone is taking a break, they need to report it in advance. They also need to notify her if they want to take leave. If there is an emergency, a leave slip can be submitted on standby.

Sister He looked at her with slight surprise: "What's wrong?"

Li Qiao and Zhu Fang have a notoriously bad relationship, so why are they suddenly asking her about it now?

Li Jiaojiao didn't want to cover it up, and she figured it would be good if someone could help her persuade them later: "I have a relative's daughter, my cousin, who also disappeared after leaving a letter."

He Jie and Xiao Cui both looked at her intently.

"A relative who knew someone helped investigate, and it turned out my cousin hadn't run away from home; she'd been trafficked to the north."

Seeing the serious expressions on the faces of the two people opposite her, she continued, "The common trick used by that human trafficking gang to abduct girls is to leave letters with this kind of content."

Xiao Cui asked nervously, "Have you found your cousin yet?"

Li Jiaojiao shook her head: "We couldn't find it. My relatives live in another city, and they reported it to the police, but they still couldn't find it."

Xiao Cui and Sister He exchanged a glance, both nervous and worried.

Now, two more people were looking around the office, waiting for Zhu Fang to return.

The office door was gently pushed open, revealing Zhu Fang with red and swollen eyes, prominent wrinkles, and disheveled hair.

The haggard look on her face was a stark contrast to her clean-cut and energetic appearance yesterday.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Cui and the other woman became even more worried.

Sister He wanted to ask Zhu Fang how things were going, but she just couldn't bring herself to say it.

Li Jiaojiao glanced at the group and sighed inwardly. She had said so much just to avoid having to say more to Zhu Fang.

She couldn't count on those two now that they looked so anxious.

"Zhu Fang, has your daughter come home?" Li Jiaojiao asked directly.

This question came like a thunderbolt from the sky above the office.

Xiao Cui and Sister He hesitated to speak, trying to figure out how to ask Zhu Fang this question in a way that would comfort her without triggering her wounds.

Fangjie's bloodshot eyes glared fiercely at Li Qiao;

"What? You want to say something sarcastic?"

Last night, after her husband went to the police station, the police came to their door.

The neighbors all knew about her second daughter running away from home. Zhu Fang usually spoke harshly and offended many people.

Last night, a group of neighbors came to her door; some came to comfort her, while others came to mock her.

Neither Zhu Fang nor her husband slept well due to the repeated stimulation.

Ignoring her reaction, Li Jiaojiao said, "Your daughter has most likely been abducted."

Zhu Fang felt as if this was the second thunderbolt, striking her head directly and leaving her stunned for a long time.

She gripped a bracelet tightly in her hand: "Why? Why are you saying this? What proof do you have?"

Zhu Fang withdrew her thorns, her eyes filled with sorrow, staring blankly ahead.

She couldn't see the person in front of her, nor could she see the office wall. The tears she had managed to hold back burst forth fiercely again.

Even when giving birth, Zhu Fang did not cry out.

She had long forgotten what crying sounded like, tears streaming down her face: "Tell me, why?"

Whether her daughter ran away from home on her own or was abducted, she found it hard to accept.

Li Jiaojiao looked at her silently, wanting to say something sarcastic, but the cold words stuck in her throat.

She didn't like Zhu Fang because, in the original owner's memories and in the storyline given by the system;

Zhu Fang is someone who loves to watch the excitement, gloats, and won't feel pain unless she gets pricked by a needle.

So, she's in excruciating pain from being pricked by needles.

Seeing that she was just a pitiful mother, Li Jiaojiao still helped her out.

He Jie and Xiao Cui both took handkerchiefs to give to Zhu Fang;

Then he repeated to Zhu Fang what Li Qiao had just told them.

Zhu Fang rushed out the door, her steps hurried and flustered. She was going to the police station to find Chen Dahe.

She ran out of the factory gate and immediately flagged down a tricycle: "Driver, this is the police station. I'll give you two yuan, the faster the better."

Upon hearing this, the tricycle driver pedaled furiously; the tricycle sped along the road like a gust of wind, and his clothes rustled in the wind.

Xiao Cui hesitated for a long time before speaking, "Sister He, I...I want to ask for leave to see Sister Fang. I know work is important too..."

Sister He gently shook her head: "Go ahead. If you need anything, come looking for me, and I'll help explain."

"Thank you, Sister He. I'll go check and make sure Sister Fang is safe, then I'll come back," Xiao Cui promised firmly.

Sister He was also worried about Zhu Fang; they had worked together for twelve years.

They weren't just ordinary colleagues; they were friends and family.

After a while, Li Jiaojiao wrote a leave note for Sister He.

He Jie didn't say much, and just nodded in agreement.

Li Jiaojiao has already had the system pinpoint the location where the human traffickers are hiding.

That place was very close to the Dongjiang caravan; it wasn't exactly remote. The fact that human traffickers dared to leave people there shows how incredibly bold they were.

In this day and age, reporting to the police is not an easy task. On her way from the factory to the human traffickers' hideout, Li Jiaojiao didn't have a single landline phone.

Tuotuo was somewhat surprised: "Does the host intend to catch the human traffickers himself?"

"No, I was just keeping watch," Li Jiaojiao said, not believing that this body could defeat a group of people.

Zhu Fang specifically sought out the police officer who visited her yesterday, and told him that her daughter might have been abducted.

Zhu Fang handed over the letter announcing her departure from home, and the police officer opposite her changed his expression.

Several recent missing persons cases have included this detail.

Chen Dahe arrived soon after, along with Xiao Cui.

Li Jiaojiao has already gone to the caravan's convenience store and used the phone there to call the police.

"Sister-in-law, are you waiting for Brother Yu to come back?"

Li Jiaojiao turned around and saw it was Shi Tou: "I was just passing by to make a call. Are you free now? Could you do me a favor?"
