Coming out of the station, You Jinge saw Zhen Wei and Zhang Xin waving and nodding at her.

Unexpected, but not that unexpected.

She had had some vague suspicions ever since she gave them the address, but she didn't expect that they would arrive before her.

"There's no high-speed train in this county, but Brother Zhang and I have a tacit understanding and met at the previous station. Although I didn't catch the bus, I have this."

Zhen Wei came over with a smile and rubbed his fingers towards You Jinge.

"So we are faster than you. We might even pass by the bus you are on."

You Jinge raised his eyebrows: "You guys are following me, aren't you afraid of danger?"

"It's okay. I just love excitement." Zhen Wei waved his hand and said, "Besides, I understand that you, Sister You, are not sincere. In fact, you really want to act with me and Brother Zhang, right?"

He was still a little proud, then he clenched his fist and hit his chest, saying: "I can't wait to shatter the darkness!"

The emotion that had just risen in You Jinge's heart was shattered. She smiled slightly and uttered a cold word from her pink lips: "Get lost!"

Zhang Xin came over after seeing Zhen Wei finish his show, "We rented a car. It's too cold. If you have anything to say, let's talk in the car."

The three returned to the car.

"Let's go to the Public Security Bureau first." You Jinge said, "This time, we may not be as lucky as last time."

Otherwise she would have taken the stairs and gone directly to the place closest to Kurumi.

Zhang Xin and Zhen Wei nodded, then started the car and drove towards the local public security bureau.

When they arrived at the destination, You Jinge got off the car alone and walked into the Public Security Bureau.

As the Chinese New Year is approaching, the business window of the Public Security Bureau has suspended services, but there are still police officers on duty at the call center 24 hours a day.

Seeing You Jinge coming in, the staff on duty all looked over.

You Jinge: "I want to call the police. A friend of mine sent me an address but I haven't been able to contact her since. I suspect she might be in danger."

She didn't think that Boss Xiaoba's reminder was just a casual remark.

When the police heard that it was a missing persons case, they immediately became alert and asked You Jinge to explain the situation in detail.

You Jinge didn’t know much, but fortunately Hu Tao had the habit of posting her location on WeChat Moments, and the police soon saw from her latest WeChat Moments that she had indeed been here.

Just as I was about to tell You Jinge that I would notify her if anything happened, the phone next to me rang.

A policeman answered the phone and soon his expression became even more serious. He looked at You Jinge several times.

After hanging up the phone, the police said to You Jinge: "We will immediately arrange for someone to look for clues about the situation you described, but we hope you won't spread the word to avoid alerting the enemy."

You Jinge keenly noticed the change in the other party's attitude before and after answering the phone. He suppressed the urge to investigate and nodded.

"I understand. I left my contact information. I've been here for some time. If you find any clues or people, please let me know."

After saying that, he stood up, thanked the police officer on duty, and left the Public Security Bureau.

"What's the situation?" Zhang Xin turned around and asked You Jinge who got into the car from the back seat.

You Jinge frowned, "The police's attitude is weird, it seems like they are hiding something, but I'm sure they don't have bad intentions, it seems like they don't want me to get too involved in this matter."

If it was malicious, she would have just taken action.

Zhen Wei turned his head and looked at You Jinge in the back row: "Based on my many years of experience reading detective novels, Hu Tao's loss of contact is probably not a simple matter."

Zhen Wei: "Small places like these that don't have high-speed trains and haven't developed are not necessarily the hardest hit areas for missing people, but they are good places for danger to lurk."

He started the car, "I just searched to see if there were any local industries. Guess what I found."

You Jinge and Zhang Xin looked at him.

Zhen Wei didn't keep the secret any longer: "There are one or two factories that were invested in by outsiders. They haven't made back their capital in just over a year, but now they are almost unable to operate."

"I found a piece of news through my friends' network, which I don't know if it's true or not, that the main reason why the factory couldn't continue to operate was because the powerful dragon couldn't defeat the local snake."

Zhang Xin hissed and asked in shock: "So complicated?"

Zhen Wei curled his lips, "That's just the beginning. When my old man opened a branch company or a processing plant in another place, even if the local government invited him to come, there would still be local troublemakers who would ask for benefits, or take the opportunity to cause trouble, or sneak in and incite the employees to cause trouble."

"Calling the police won't suppress them for long. They are like toads that don't bite, but they are annoying."

"So I guess that Walnut might have entered a place he shouldn't have entered."

You Jinge: "She was with Fang Rou. Although Fang Rou didn't make any noise, I think their situations were similar."

Zhang Xin had a complicated expression, "Why do they always encounter such dangerous things?"

Zhen Wei thought about how after he added Hu Tao's contact information, he often saw her posts about small frictions that happened during travels, and he couldn't help but nod in agreement with Zhang Xin's words.

"Indeed, I think it would be better for her to stay at home."

It was rare for You Jinge to agree with Zhen Wei's statement.

Regardless, the three of them replenished their supplies according to their needs in the county town and headed towards the last location of the address.
