Eternal Love: The Billionaire's Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 680 - 673: A Clue Emerges
In the past few days, Leng Yichen has been staying near the police station to easily access the latest information about Bai Yiran’s whereabouts.
Almost four days have passed, and still, there is no news about Bai Yiran.
On the second day of Bai Yiran’s kidnapping, Leng Yichen sent Wang Hai to search for her. At this moment, he couldn’t solely rely on the police to solve the case. He couldn’t wait any longer, not even for a second. Without Bai Yiran by his side, he was on the verge of going insane!
Finally, on the fifth day of Bai Yiran’s kidnapping, both Wang Hai and the police brought back information.
On the day Bai Yiran was kidnapped, a suspicious vehicle passed through a gas station. The gas station attendant faintly heard a woman screaming for help and shouting about a kidnapping as the car drove past, then it quickly sped away. The attendant didn’t pay much attention at that time, but later realized from the news that Bai Yiran had been kidnapped. The attendant began to suspect that car and initially planned to report this to the police immediately. However, his family and colleagues were against him doing so, fearing retaliation in the future. The matter was thus put on hold, but over time, the attendant’s unease grew, and he eventually reported it to the police, pointing out the direction the car had headed.
This gave the police and Leng Yichen an initial direction in their search.
In the case of the murder of Mr. Dong and others in H City, the police promptly targeted Wu Chengzu as the suspect.
After Qiu Zi was dropped off by Wu Chengzu, she found a household and directly called the police. Based on the direction indicated by Qiu Zi, the police located the gas station where Wu Chengzu and his companions had refueled their vehicle. It was only at this point that the cashier at the gas station’s store realized that the seemingly charming man was actually a felon.
Using the gas station’s CCTV footage, the police swiftly pinpointed the direction Wu Chengzu had driven.
Combining these two leads significantly narrowed the search area, eventually pinpointing Wu Chengzu and Yao Zhiqing’s hideout near the border with A City.
However, the small towns and villages in that area are numerous, with winding roads. There were even fewer video clues available to the police, leaving them with no choice but to search in a comprehensive, sweeping manner from the outside in, ensuring no area was overlooked.
But, Leng Yichen couldn’t wait. He couldn’t stand by while the police conducted their methodical search, uncertain of what might happen by the time Bai Yiran was found.
The thought of the harm Bai Yiran might suffer filled Leng Yichen with anxiety.
He took a map and, with Wang Hai, studied the most likely places where Wu Chengzu and his group might be hiding. Once the locations were determined, they prepared to set out in search of Bai Yiran.
Considering that Wang Hai had a wife and children at home and the inherent danger of the journey, Leng Yichen didn’t want Wang Hai to accompany him. However, the middle-aged man was stubborn, refusing to let Leng Yichen go alone. He simply insisted that an extra person meant an extra pair of hands, and he too hoped for Bai Yiran’s early return.
Unable to persuade Wang Hai otherwise, Leng Yichen and Wang Hai quickly packed up and set off without delay.
On the way, Leng Yichen called home, and Xia Lian answered. Since the day Leng Yichen left, Cheng Gang had been staying with Xia Lian. For one, Sister Liu couldn’t manage to care for both children, and second, with such a significant matter at hand, someone had to maintain some order at home.
Leng Liewei was too old to be suitable, and with the troublesome women Qi Hui and Luna around, Leng Yichen didn’t trust leaving the house to him.
