Lu Fan did not pry into Yan Menghan's family affairs. After hanging up the phone, Lu Fan pushed out his motorcycle, preparing to go to the county town. As the general manager of Yixiang Pavilion, Bai Xuemei was now stationed in several hotels in the provincial capital. Although someone was in charge of the county town branch, Lu Fan was still a bit uneasy.
Moreover, he also had his own fruit supermarket, and he should go and take care of it every couple of days. Fan Xue'er was a young girl, and she was also unfamiliar with the place. Besides, he had promised Elder Fan that he would take care of her. He had to keep his word.
Mounting his motorcycle, he sped towards the county town. As he entered Fengyuan Town, he suddenly saw a large crowd gathered around the direction of the town's police station. Lu Fan couldn't help but slow down his vehicle for a closer look. It seemed something had happened, and it appeared to be happening right at the entrance of the police station. Out of curiosity, Lu Fan drove his vehicle over.
"Damn human traffickers! Beat her to death! Beat her to death!"
"Yes! She deserves to be beaten to death, so she won't harm others again!"
Lu Fan was stunned. Were there human traffickers in such a small town? He parked his motorcycle and squeezed into the crowd. On the ground at the entrance of the police station sat a woman dressed quite neatly. She was around forty years old and looked decent.
However, at this moment, she sat on the ground with her head bowed, not daring to look up at all. This was because the surrounding crowd was scolding and cursing her, and some people were even spitting on her. If not for a few police officers holding them back, this group of people would have likely rushed forward to beat her.
"You damned soul, tell me quickly where my son is!" a woman under thirty was crying hysterically, pointing at the woman on the ground and scolding her. However, being held back by two police officers, she couldn't rush forward to scratch her.
Just then, Shen Xinyi walked out of the police station and shouted to the onlookers, "Everyone, please don't crowd here. If you really want to do something, help search for the missing children. If you have any clues, contact us immediately."
"Xiao Zhao! Take her in for questioning, and inform us immediately if there's any news. The rest of you go find the child!" Shen Xinyi shouted to a few police officers beside her.
"Yes! Director!" Officer Zhao responded and reached out to pull the woman sitting on the ground.
"Sister Xinyi! What's going on?" Lu Fan hurried forward to ask.
"Lu Fan! Why are you here? However, we are short-handed right now, so why don't you join us in searching for the missing child! A three-year-old boy from the town is missing. Someone saw the child with this woman, but when we found this woman, the little boy was nowhere to be seen. Moreover, this woman is deaf and mute, and can't tell us anything! So we can't confirm if this matter is related to her," Shen Xinyi said while hurrying out, wanting to search for the child first.
"Deaf and mute? Are you sure someone saw that child with this woman?" Lu Fan frowned and asked.
"Sure! The witness is right here." Shen Xinyi suddenly looked into the police station, and just then, the man who testified came out after finishing his statement.
"He is an individual vendor selling ice cream and water at the center street intersection. He said he saw the little boy with this woman. She even bought the boy an ice cream," Shen Xinyi continued.
"How long ago did this happen?" Lu Fan asked urgently.
"Half an hour ago! The child was playing at the entrance of his home. A few minutes later, the child's mother couldn't find him. So she went to the street to inquire, and happened to ask this vendor," Shen Xinyi replied.
"Take her inside! I might be able to help!" Lu Fan said urgently and then entered the police station.
"This woman sat on the ground as soon as she arrived at the police station and refused to go in. She was also quite strong; three people couldn't get her inside," Shen Xinyi said helplessly.
"Sigh! Can't you police officers even handle such a small matter?" Lu Fan frowned and turned around, reaching out to pull up the woman sitting on the ground.
Everyone was stunned. They said the person was very strong, but in Lu Fan's hands, she was like a little chick?
"Ah... Ah ah..." Obviously, the woman hadn't expected Lu Fan to be so strong. She shouted and tried to break free, but no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't get out of Lu Fan's grip.
"Tch? A woman? Deaf and mute!? You're quite good at faking it! Did you learn disguise techniques?" Lu Fan sneered, and suddenly reached out and grabbed the woman's chest.
*Riiip...* The woman's clothes on her chest were instantly torn apart by Lu Fan's fingers. *Crack...* A padded bra was pulled off...
"Holy crap... He's a man!" The surrounding crowd was in an uproar. They all thought it was a woman, but unexpectedly, it was a man!
"Since you can't speak, let me speak for you." Lu Fan said and suddenly slapped him.
"Ouch!..." The person cried out in pain, covering his cheek. The slap was so fierce that blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
At the edge of the crowd, a middle-aged man in his thirties suddenly looked displeased and turned to leave.
"Xinyi! Don't let that person go!" Lu Fan suddenly pointed at the man and shouted.
*Whoosh...* Hearing this, the man immediately bolted.
"Damn it... Catch him! Don't let him run!" The crowd immediately swarmed after him.
"You think you can escape right under my nose? Wouldn't that make me a useless director!" Shen Xinyi said, and then she also chased after them. She leaped onto Lu Fan's motorcycle.
*Vroom...* The motorcycle sped off with a roar.
"Holy crap... We asked for half an hour and couldn't get a word out of them, and this kid solved it in one minute?" Several police officers stared in astonishment at the speeding motorcycle.
Within three minutes, a gray minivan drove over. On board were a driver and a three or four-year-old boy! Of course, Shen Xinyi was also there, controlling the driver.
