"Is Xiao Xiao's disappearance related to you?" Li Man asked directly.
"What the hell! Are you crazy? How dare you say such things?" Huang De Han exploded in anger, gasping for breath as he continued, "You can eat anything, but you can't say anything. Why are you acting like someone with no brains, spouting nonsense? If I really kidnapped Xiao Xiao, do you think the police wouldn't find out? Besides, why would I kidnap Xiao Xiao for no reason? Am I bored or something?"
Although Huang De Han vehemently denied any involvement in Xiao Xiao's disappearance, Li Man couldn't shake off the feeling that there was a connection between Xiao Xiao's disappearance and Huang De Han.
However, in all matters, evidence was crucial. Li Man couldn't simply convict Huang De Han based on her gut feeling.
Li Man thought about the two evenings when Huang De Han didn't come home. Where did he go during those two nights?
Also, Huang De Han claimed that he had already deleted Xiao Xiao's nude photos. Why did he suddenly delete them? After all, he used those photos to blackmail Xiao Xiao. Without them, what would he have to threaten her with?
Unless he couldn't threaten Xiao Xiao anymore.
If Xiao Xiao had indeed gone missing, it meant that he couldn't threaten her anymore. However, he claimed to have seen Xiao Xiao on the day he deleted the photos.
And Xiao Xiao disappeared on the day after he deleted the photos.
Li Man connected all the events together and pondered over them. Something felt off.
Did Huang De Han know that Xiao Xiao would go missing the next day?
How did Huang De Han know? Could it be that he was the one who kidnapped Xiao Xiao?
It was the only explanation that made sense. It explained why Huang De Han knew about Xiao Xiao's impending disappearance and was willing to delete her photos.
But solving a case wasn't based on speculation; it required evidence.
Where could she find the evidence?
If Huang De Han was a suspect, wouldn't the police be able to find out?
Li Man suddenly felt powerless, unsure of what to do.
...
From the beginning, the police were misled by Huang De Han, so their investigation went in the wrong direction.
They had no chance of finding Xiao Xiao.
In the end, the case was classified as a missing person's case because, without finding Xiao Xiao's body, it meant that she was still alive.
The police could only intensify their efforts to combat human trafficking.
Huang De Han escaped once again, and he was overjoyed. He went shopping with his new girlfriend every day, enjoying himself.
...
Life returned to normal.
An Xin had fully recovered from her injuries and returned to school.
That day, after school, An Xin waited at the bus stop with a few classmates.
Previously, either Wang Jun Feng or Chen Xiao Hui would pick her up, but now Chen Xiao Hui had to go to work and didn't have time to come and get her. So, after school, she had to take the bus home by herself.
The bus arrived, and An Xin was swept up by the crowd and got on the bus. It was the peak hours when students finished school and people got off work, so the bus was packed with people. There was no space to spare.
As the bus started moving, An Xin tightly held onto the handrail. And in a casual glance, she saw Wang Jun Feng squeezed in the crowd.
"Wang Jun Feng gazed at her with a smile playing at the corners of his mouth.
An Xin was so startled that she almost let out a scream. She hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand, looking at Wang Jun Feng in terror.
Her entire body seemed to freeze, and An Xin felt an icy coldness coursing through her as her body trembled uncontrollably.
Why was Wang Jun Feng here? Was he following her?
The more An Xin thought about it, the more frightened she became. She wanted to get off the car, but she was afraid that Wang Jun Feng would follow her too."
