Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

Chapter 470 The Stick Disappears, Qin Huairu Collapses

Jia Zhangshi searched the front yard thoroughly, then asked the neighbors in the middle yard, and finally came to the back yard.

She searched the entire compound but couldn't find Banggeng. Even the people in the compound said they hadn't seen Banggeng. She was completely panicked this time.

Madam Jia rushed back to the Jia family home, shouting at the top of her lungs, "Qin Huairu, Qin Huairu, Banggeng... Banggeng is missing! Go find my precious grandson!"

Upon hearing Jia Zhangshi's shout, Qin Huairu's hands trembled, and the bowl in her hands fell to the ground with a bang and shattered.

She didn't bother to clean up the dishes on the floor, and rushed out of the kitchen, looking at Jia Zhangshi and asking hurriedly:

"Mom, have you searched the entire yard? Did you ask any of the neighbors?"

Madam Jia nodded repeatedly: "I searched the front yard, the middle yard, and the back yard, and asked more than a dozen people, and they all said they didn't see Banggeng come back this afternoon."

"Qin Huairu, hurry... before it gets dark, go out and look for Banggeng. I'll stay home with Xiaodang. You absolutely must find my precious grandson!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Huairu felt as if the sky had fallen, and tears instantly streamed down her face.

Bang Geng is her life. If Bang Geng is kidnapped by a conman, how will she survive?

She hurriedly said to Jia Zhangshi, "Mom, I'll go look for Xiaodang on the way back to our compound from Hongxing Elementary School. You stay home and watch over Xiaodang."

This time, Madam Jia didn't argue with Qin Huairu anymore and quickly nodded in agreement, "Go ahead, I'll keep an eye on Xiao Dang."

Qin Huairu wiped away her tears and ran out of the door like a madwoman, heading towards the outside of the courtyard.

"Bang geese, bang geese!"

"Bang Geng, where are you? It's your mom! Bang Geng!"

Along the way, Qin Huairu searched for sticks while shouting wildly.

But when she searched all the way from No. 95 Courtyard to Hongxing Elementary School without finding any trace of Banggeng, she collapsed to the ground, completely devastated.

"My darling! My darling! Waaaaah!"

Upon seeing this, the gatekeeper of Hongxing Elementary School quickly comforted him, saying, "Comrade, don't worry. Maybe the child was playing on the way and hasn't gone home yet. You should go to the police station to report to the police right away, and then go home and ask your family and neighbors to help look for him."

Upon hearing this, Qin Huairu wiped away her tears and bowed deeply to the gatekeeper, saying, "Thank you, sir. I'll go report it to the police right away."

As she spoke, she ran towards the Nanluoguxiang Police Station as if she had gone mad.

In less than fifteen minutes, Qin Huairu arrived at the Nanluoguxiang Police Station. She burst into the station, breaking down in tears and screaming:

"Officers, officers, my son Banggeng has gone missing! Please, you must help me find him!"

Upon hearing that the child was missing, the police officers rushed forward and asked, "Officer, please don't panic. Tell us what happened."

Qin Huairu wiped away her tears, grabbed the policeman's clothes as if they were her last lifeline, and hurriedly said:

"My son Jia Geng was in class at Hongxing Elementary School today. He usually comes home alone and is usually back around 4 p.m., but he hasn't come back by 5 p.m. today. I searched all over our courtyard, and the neighbors all said they hadn't seen him. Then I searched along the road from Hongxing Elementary School back to our courtyard, but I still couldn't find my son Jia Geng."

"Officers, please, please, you must find my dog, Banggeng! If anything happens to him, I don't want to live anymore!"

After listening to Qin Huairu's account, the police had a general understanding of the case.

Recently, child abduction has become extremely rampant, with several cases of missing children reported in Nanluoguxiang recently. After registering the case details, the police officer immediately went to the station chief's office and explained the case to the chief.

The director, aware of the seriousness of the situation, acted decisively and immediately issued an order:

"Team Leader Zhang, your team must set off immediately, find Jia Geng, and bring the kidnapper to justice."

"Yes."

Five police officers plus a captain, each on a bicycle, took Qin Huairu back to courtyard number 95.

Among the six police officers who came this time, two were regulars at No. 95 Courtyard, one young and one old. As soon as the young police officer entered the courtyard, he found Yan Fugui and told him about Banggeng's disappearance.

Yan Fugui knew the matter was urgent, so he hurriedly sent Yan Jiekuang to announce a general meeting of the entire institute.

......

The Intermediate People's Court, the Wang family.

For dinner, Qin Jingru cooked two beef dishes: braised beef and boiled beef. Wang Feng ate with great appetite and even ate half a bowl more rice than usual.

Lu Banxia also ate too much tonight; her belly was bulging. The three of them finished two pounds of beef in one meal.

Just as Wang Feng and his two companions were sitting inside drinking tea and digesting their food, Yan Jiekuang's loud shouts echoed throughout the entire courtyard.

"A hospital-wide meeting is being held."

"A college-wide meeting is starting! Come out here and start a college-wide meeting!"

Upon hearing that another hospital-wide meeting was to be held, Qin Jingru was overjoyed, thinking that there would be another good show to watch.

"Brother Wang Feng, Banxia, ​​another college-wide meeting is starting. Let's hurry up. Banxia, ​​bring me a chair."

As she spoke, she and Lu Banxia each carried a stool and walked out the door toward the conference venue.

Seeing Qin Jingru's impatient manner, Wang Feng smiled helplessly. It seemed that Jingru's habit of enjoying watching the excitement was something she couldn't change.

He lit a cigarette and walked out of the room at a leisurely pace.

Qin Jingru arrived at the meeting venue first. When she saw that it wasn't Director Wang who was holding a meeting for the entire hospital, but rather six police officers, she knew that something must have happened in the hospital today. She quickly put her chair in the front seat, pulled Lu Banxia to sit down, and waited to watch the show.

This time, the octagonal table was not brought out. The three old men stood obediently behind the six police officers, clearly indicating that the police were in charge this time.

When Wang Feng arrived at the conference, he saw six police officers. His brows furrowed almost imperceptibly, and Qin Jingru pulled him to sit down.

Soon, everyone in the courtyard arrived one after another. Xu Damao's health has improved a lot now, and he usually walks around in the courtyard to exercise. He also came to this courtyard-wide meeting.

Just like before, he moved a stool and sat down next to Wang Feng.

Wang Feng handed Xu Damao a Daqianmen cigarette. Xu Damao took the cigarette and asked, "Brother Wang Feng, do you know what's going on? Why are there so many police officers here?"

Wang Feng shook his head: "I don't know. Something must have happened in the hospital, otherwise so many police officers wouldn't have come to our hospital."

Just as the two were talking, Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu walked over. Qin Huairu's eyes were red, clearly indicating that she had just been crying.

Madam Jia was also sighing, and Wang Feng knew without a doubt that something must have happened to the Jia family.

I just don't know what happened that required the deployment of six police officers.
