Working in Dongguan: The Girls I Met Over the Years

Chapter 259 Unsolved Mysteries

Upon seeing this, the bodyguard became so nervous that he couldn't speak.

Ma Junjie said softly,

"Brother, it's alright. Just tell me slowly who came by!"

Seeing that the bodyguard was still hesitating, Liu Xiong was furious and raised his hand to hit him.

The bodyguard was so frightened that he quickly took two steps back.

Ma Junjie stepped in and blocked Liu Xiong's path.

"Uncle Liu, don't be impulsive, let him speak!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Xiong snorted and angrily lowered his hand.

The bodyguard paused, swallowing hard.

After organizing his thoughts, he stammered out,

"Brother Xiong...it's...it's Aunt Zhang, Aunt Zhang came by..."

"Just a short while ago, Aunt Zhang came to tell us that you, Xiong-ge, instructed her to keep an eye on things for us for a while, and told us to go to the backyard to wash our faces and have breakfast..."

"With Aunt Zhang watching over us, we didn't think too much about it... so we went..."

"It only took five or six minutes in total. When we came back, the door was still locked, so we continued to keep watch until you arrived, only to find that... there was no one inside!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Junjie turned pale and basically confirmed it.

Aunt Zhang must have let the person go.

He said to Liu Xiong,

"Brother Xiong, believe it or not, this matter is definitely related to Aunt Zhang!"

"Zhang... Gui... Lan!" Liu Xiong gritted his teeth and called out Aunt Zhang's name, word by word.

Slowly, the memory returned to her mind: when she asked Aunt Zhang to bring people over, Aunt Zhang's expression and tone had been very unusual.

The key to the storage room was also kept solely by her.

In an instant, all the information came together.

Liu Xiong had no choice but to believe it.

Zhang Qiang was released by Aunt Zhang.

"That traitorous old bastard!" Liu Xiong was furious, gritting his teeth in anger.

With a "bang",

Liu Xiong raised his foot and kicked the iron gate hard, making a dull thud.

Ma Junjie's mind raced, and he quickly grabbed Liu Xiong's arm.

"Uncle Liu, chase them! Quickly, call for reinforcements!"

"Whether it's Zhang Qiang or Aunt Zhang, they shouldn't have gone far. Quickly, call someone to chase after them!"

Liu Xiong suddenly realized what was happening and quickly pointed at the two bodyguards, shouting,

"Quickly, go back and gather everyone!"

"Chase them! Chase Aunt Zhang, and Zhang Qiang too!"

"Whoever finds them, I'll give them 500,000! Hurry!"

The two bodyguards were stunned for a moment, but when they heard "five hundred thousand," their eyes widened.

Without even saying goodbye to Liu Xiong, he took off running.

Once the two had run away, Liu Xiong felt it wasn't enough, so he took out his phone and started calling for backup.

Hearing Liu Xiong's hoarse voice yelling into the phone, Liu Jialing, who was standing next to him, could no longer control herself.

With a cry of "Ah!", his legs gave way and he sat down on the ground.

Ma Junjie reacted quickly and rushed forward to support Liu Jialing. As soon as he got close, he heard her muttering to herself in a tearful voice.

"It's over...it's all over now..."

"Zhang Qiang ran away, what will happen to Bingbing? Will he go back and kill her...?"

"Ah Jie, what do we do? What do we do?"

These words were like a bucket of cold water, poured coldly onto Liu Xiong and Ma Junjie.

Neither of them said it, but they both knew perfectly well what was going on.

Zhang Qiang's escape not only made Liu Bingbing's whereabouts a mystery, but also raised concerns that he might resort to desperate measures and harm her upon his return.

Liu Bingbing's chances were already slim, but now they're probably even worse...

Ma Junjie clenched his jaw, his mood plummeting to rock bottom.

I really didn't expect things to develop like this.

For a moment, Ma Junjie was also flustered and didn't know what to do.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Xiong called Aunt Zhang again.

Sure enough, the other person's phone was switched off.

Liu Xiong's chest heaved violently as he kicked a nearby pillar hard, sending dust flying.

He cursed, his eyes red.

"Zhang Guilan, you're getting more and more senile as you get older!"

"You've followed me for thirty years, always careful and cautious, never disobeying my orders. This time, why are you acting like you've taken the wrong medicine?"

"Damn it, damn it!"

Liu Xiong was completely baffled.

He even wondered if Zhang Guilan and Zhang Qiang were in cahoots.

Or perhaps they all share the surname Zhang and are related?

No, no!

Liu Xiong quickly dismissed these thoughts.

He was absolutely certain that Zhang Guilan did not know Zhang Qiang, and they were not related.

They are even less likely to be in cahoots.

So, why did Zhang Guilan let Zhang Qiang go?

Liu Xiong felt this was like an unsolved mystery.

The only way to solve this mystery is to find Zhang Guilan!

"Ah Jie, Jia Ling, cheer up, let's go back!" Liu Xiong said in a low voice, trying to sound calm, as he reassured them.

"Zhang Qiang has escaped, that's a fact, but there's always a way out; there must be other methods!"

"Let's go back first!"

As he spoke, Liu Xiong stared at Ma Junjie, gesturing for him to help Liu Jialing walk back.

Ma Junjie nodded gently and helped Liu Jialing walk forward.

Ma Junjie's heart was also filled with turmoil.

However, he understood that things couldn't fall into chaos because of an unexpected accident.

We must calm down, take a long-term view, and carefully plan our next steps in order to save Liu Bingbing.

He held Carina Lau's hand and comforted her.

"Sister Liu, Uncle Liu is right. There's always a way out. We'll definitely find other solutions."

Carina Lau looked sad.

Her eyes had reddened again, I don't know when.

She looked up at Ma Junjie, her hoarse voice choked with emotion, and said...

"Ah Jie... what... what other options are there?"

"Once Zhang Qiang ran away, everything... everything was over..."

"Bingbing, my Bingbing, what do I do, what do I do..."

Seeing that Carina Lau's emotions were becoming increasingly agitated, Ma Junjie was anxious to think of a way to temporarily calm her down.

Ma Junjie's mind raced.

It slipped out of his mouth.

"Sister Liu, don't worry..."

"There must be another way...for example...for example..."

"Oh, right, for example, we also have news about Jiang Hao... Brother Hao!"

"Yesterday, Uncle Liu told him to use all his connections to investigate; maybe there's good news today!"

Upon hearing this, Carina Lau stopped.

After a few seconds, he gently shook his head.

He said dejectedly,

"Ah Jie, don't try to comfort me..."

"No, Dongguan is like a vast ocean; finding someone there is like searching for a needle in a haystack—it's too difficult..."

Liu Xiong, listening to Ma Junjie's words, seemed to have received some inspiration.

He took out his phone and said...

"Ah Jie, I had completely forgotten about Jiang Hao if you hadn't mentioned it."

"Jiang Hao is a capable and highly efficient person!"

"I'll call him right now and ask what's going on!"

As he spoke, Liu Xiong began dialing Jiang Hao's cell phone.

I found the phone number and was about to press the dial button when I suddenly heard someone banging loudly on the front door and shouting.

"Brother Xiong, Brother Xiong, open the door!"

Liu Xiong was taken aback, listened carefully to the sound, then put down his phone and gave Ma Junjie a wry smile.

"Ah Jie, Chinese people can't stand being talked about behind their backs."

"See, speak of the devil and he appears!"

"Is that Brother Hao knocking on the door?" Ma Junjie asked, puzzled.

"That's right!" Liu Xiong replied.

"Let's go in through the back door and talk to Jiang Hao face-to-face!"

The group quickly went inside, circling from the backyard to the front yard of the villa.

Liu Xiong shouted outside,

"Jiang Hao, don't worry, I'm here to open the door!"

"Alright, Xiong-ge!" Jiang Hao replied from outside the door.

"Open the door quickly, I have a big surprise for you!"

surprise?

Liu Xiong and the others inside looked at each other in bewilderment.

The next second, I couldn't wait to rush over and open the front door.

As soon as the door opened,

With a "thump",

A man scrambled and crawled, kneeling before Liu Xiong...
