The man was a bit dazed, nervously inquiring about Su Yang's location, and then didn't dare to hang up the phone, hurrying over here.
Looking at the child already asleep in his arms, Su Yang didn't leave either. This child looked quite cute. If Su Yang left him here, who knows what kind of situation he might encounter. In a place like this, which is full of garbage, stray dogs could easily appear, and he couldn't let this child take that risk.
Besides, this place is very far from Capital City, and when Su Yang was here, he had already scouted the surroundings pretty thoroughly. The neighboring cities didn't have any Land Immortals stationed. It could be said that there was no danger for Su Yang here, so he didn't need to be particularly cautious.
Ten minutes later, a car roared up to the mouth of the alley, and a man in his thirties jumped out.
The man looked anxious, holding a phone in his hand, scanning his surroundings, and suddenly his eyes lit up when he saw Su Yang standing in the alley, and he quickly rushed over.
"Brother, you made the call just now, right?" the man hurriedly asked, while also looking at the child in Su Yang's arms, getting even more excited: "Baby, baby, it's my baby!"
Using the Soul Searching Technique to take a glance, Su Yang could discern that this man was indeed the child's father. Therefore, Su Yang didn't doubt him and handed the child back, explaining the situation of how he found the child.
After hearing Su Yang's story, the man was imdiately stunned. He looked at the pile of trash, handed the child back to Su Yang, and said shakily, "Brother, could you hold the child for , please..."
Su Yang did not refuse and took the child. The man then ran frantically into the pile of trash, searching wildly as if looking for sothing.
"I searched earlier, there's no one inside," Su Yang said.
The man was a bit discouraged, but soon, he found a black won's handbag from the pile of trash. Staring at the handbag, the man was imdiately dumbfounded, stamring, "This... this is my wife's bag..."
Su Yang took a look and furrowed his brows; could this be a robbery?
But if it were a robbery, the perpetrator should have taken the bag. Even if they didn't take the bag, they should at least have taken the money inside. However, the handbag seed not even to have been opened at all; it didn't look like a robbery at all, so what's going on?
Could it have been a kidnapping? But then, if they were kidnapping, wouldn't it be much easier to kidnap a child than an adult?
The man was full of panic, realizing sothing was amiss when he saw the handbag. He quickly opened the bag, finding everything intact inside, including two thousand yuan in cash, nothing was missing. It was evident this wasn't about taking money.
"How could this happen? How could this happen?" The man anxiously circled around, seeing Su Yang at the alley entrance, as if grabbing onto a lifeline, and shakily said, "Brother, did you... did you find any clues when you ca over earlier?"
Su Yang shook his head and recounted the situation from the mont he arrived.
The man was stunned, staring blankly at the bag, completely lost.
Seeing this, Su Yang couldn't help but remind him, "Could it be your enemies? Or maybe a kidnapping?"
The man looked at Su Yang, shaking his head: "I... I don't have any enemies. Kidnapping, this... this shouldn't be. I... I'm busy paying my mortgage every month, where would I have money for a ransom..."
Su Yang frowned. If not these, then there was only one possibility left: it could be a sexual assault.
"What was your wife doing today? Why would she co here?" Su Yang asked.
"She... she went shopping with a girlfriend today, but they got separated. Her friend went ho for dinner around six or seven, but my... my wife hasn't co back yet..." the man said shakily.
"Didn't you ask her girlfriend?" Su Yang inquired.
"I did, but... but she doesn't know either..." the man said, "They got separated at the mall, and afterward, she went ho first..."
Su Yang felt a twinge in his heart upon hearing this, suspecting that this so-called girlfriend might have trouble.
"Where is the mall they were shopping at?" Su Yang asked.
"On Beihua Street..." the man replied.
"How far is that from here?" Su Yang asked.
"About six or seven kiloters..." the man replied.
"Six or seven kiloters?" Su Yang nodded slowly, "So, her friend and your wife got separated at Beihua Street?"
"Yes!" The man nodded.
Su Yang: "After getting separated, why didn't she call your wife?"
"She did, but my wife didn't pick up at that ti..." the man said with a face full of sorrow. "I guess my wife was already in trouble at that ti and couldn't answer the call. But her friend didn't think much of it, so she just went ho..."
"Really?" Su Yang said with a cold smile, "I think if you really want to know your wife's whereabouts, you'd better go and ask this friend of hers!"
"Huh?" The man was taken aback: "Why?"
"If your wife was indeed abducted at Beihua Street and your child was discarded, why would they go so far, bypassing seven or eight kiloters, to throw your child here?" Su Yang said, "Such a kidnapping would only cause trouble for themselves, wouldn't it?"
The man scratched his head, "That's true, but what… what does this have to do with her friend?"
"It's obvious that her friend is lying!" Su Yang quietly said.
The man was stunned, wide-eyed and blank-faced: "She... she's lying? Why would she lie?"
"You'll have to ask her that reason yourself!" Su Yang replied.
The man paused montarily and then nodded vigorously, "Right, I'll go ask her! Brother, thank you for everything this ti."
"You're welco!" Su Yang smiled, "By the way, I'm free, so why don't I go with you?"
"That... that would be great!" The man said joyfully, "With you there, I can have a witness, she won't dare deny it then!"
The man drove with Su Yang straight to his wife's friend's house.
On the way, Su Yang learned more about the man. His na was Wang Yong, and he had an ordinary life. From childhood to adulthood, he had been the type to follow the rules. Although he never dropped out of school, he also didn't get into a good university. Graduating from a second-tier school, he returned and joined a company where by the age of thirty, he beca a small leader, barely making it to what could be considered a middle-class family.
