Chapter 787 - 785: Mengting Disappears
Just as Chen Tianlong’s car drove out of the Lin Family’s gates, he heard his phone ringing.
Chen Tianlong hurriedly took out his phone. He had been feeling anxious, and now hearing the phone ring, he felt even more uneasy and quickly answered, "Hello, who is this?"
"Chen Tianlong? It’s Qiqi. This morning, Elder Tan called Mengting early and asked her to come over. But later, when I called her, there was no answer. I’m a bit worried. If you can, please go over and check it out!"
It was clearly Tang Qiqi speaking on the other end.
"Alright, I’ll head over right away!"
After hanging up, Chen Tianlong began to worry. He thought for a moment and then drove directly to the Tan Family residence.
By this time, the road to Elder Tan’s courtyard had improved significantly. Chen Tianlong’s BMW quickly entered the alley and swiftly arrived at Wu Mengting’s doorstep.
But upon arrival, he saw a group of people standing at the door, not knowing what they were doing.
As Chen Tianlong approached, he heard some elderly folks say that early this morning, a black BMW came by, and the license plate was purposely obscured.
Wu Mengting was kidnapped, and Tan Tian was kicked in the abdomen and has not regained consciousness.
Chen Tianlong walked over to Mr. Shen and pinched the acupoint hard, but he still didn’t wake up. Chen Tianlong frowned and suddenly thought of something, quickly pressing a few points on Mr. Leng.
"Cough, cough..."
Finally, Tan Tian regained consciousness. Chen Tianlong breathed a sigh of relief; it turned out someone had pressed the sleep acupoint, no wonder the neighbors couldn’t wake him up for so long.
However, Chen Tianlong suddenly had a thought. The person who kidnapped Wu Mengting knew acupoint techniques; how skilled must they be?
"Elder Tan, what’s the matter? I heard Mengting was taken, do you remember what they looked like?" Chen Tianlong asked anxiously.
Tan Tian took a deep breath, shook his head, and frowned as he thought for a moment, "Mengting was taken by two tall young men, and the driver was a middle-aged man with a beard."
Tan Tian recounted everything he saw. He was naturally very tense as well.
This was his only relative; if Wu Mengting had any problems, he would truly have no courage to carry on living. She was his only support.
"Elder Tan, don’t worry, I will bring Mengting back, definitely." Chen Tianlong saw Tan Tian was okay, quickly took out his phone, and called Zhang Yufei.
Zhang Yufei was just starting work and, upon seeing Chen Tianlong’s call, was initially startled, then quickly answered, "Hello, Chen Tianlong, are you looking for me?"
"Yes, Yufei, Mengting has been kidnapped, gather a few colleagues and come over, also check the cameras around, I want to see who it is." Chen Tianlong was obviously very angry, shocked that someone would dare target Wu Mengting.
However, he guessed it probably wouldn’t be those enemies; after all, in this situation, they’re struggling with their own issues, and taking Wu Mengting could worsen their predicament.
So who actually took her?
With these doubts, Chen Tianlong helped Shen Bing inside to sit, and about twenty minutes later, a police car entered the shantytown area, and four people got out, two of whom Chen Tianlong knew.
It was Zhang Yufei and Li Jun.
Seeing the police had arrived, Chen Tianlong quickly went outside to greet them and explained everything. Zhang Yufei gave orders to two subordinates, who quickly left, probably to investigate the camera footage.
"Hello, Elder Tan, I’m the police and also Mengting’s friend. Please don’t worry; we’ll follow up on Mengting’s matter very quickly," Zhang Yufei said softly to Tan Tian, who was lying on the chair.
"Yes, thank you." Tan Tian expressed his gratitude.
Zhang Yufei smiled slightly, then turned to Chen Tianlong beside her, "Chen Tianlong, what do you think happened? Could it be a planned kidnapping?"
"In my opinion, it shouldn’t be. Generally, kidnappings have two purposes: one is for money, and the other is to threaten family. But Mengting’s family clearly doesn’t have money, and there’s no need to threaten her family,"
Chen Tianlong said with a wry smile.
"That’s true, so Chen Tianlong, what do you think happened?" Zhang Yufei was indeed puzzled and asked in confusion.
"Not sure for now, but since it’s not for money, that makes me even more worried." It’s understandable that Chen Tianlong would think this way; if Wu Mengting weren’t extremely beautiful, it wouldn’t be as concerning, but she was stunning like a fairy.
This suggests that they might be after her looks, which could very likely be the case.
"Chen Tianlong, it can’t be. No one would be so bold as to snatch someone in broad daylight from their home." Zhang Yufei said this, her face turning red, as the topic was hard to speak about.
"Let’s hope so."
Chen Tianlong dared not think too much, focusing on the positive possibilities.
About fifteen minutes later, the two police colleagues returned, seemingly having found some clues, whispered to Zhang Yufei, and she frowned.
"Chen Tianlong, we’ve found it was a black BMW, but the license plate was modified and completely unrecognizable." Zhang Yufei revealed the truth.
Chen Tianlong, upon hearing this, took a deep breath but didn’t give up and said, "Is there still footage? I want to take a look."
Zhang Yufei nodded, and after leaving the Shen Family, they went directly to the neighborhood’s monitoring room, where with the technician’s help, Chen Tianlong quickly identified the relevant video.
He pressed play to start the video. At this frequency, most people can’t see the details clearly and only pause when something suspicious appears. But Chen Tianlong was different; his scanning speed was faster than average, quickly noticing a problem.
"Bracelet... silver bracelet. Gather all street footage at this time period with black BMWs, Yufei." Chen Tianlong didn’t explain much, directly instructing.
"No problem."
Zhang Yufei nodded, then took out her phone and ordered the task from headquarters.
Soon, the group left the shantytown area and headed straight for the police station.
As they arrived, the tech department had already found several suspicious vehicles tracked from the shantytown. There were just three left, and two were women leaving for work.
So the last target was locked on that remaining black BMW.
Chen Tianlong had the technician play the vehicle’s footage for him, and sure enough, it was correct. The bracelet stuck at the car door’s edge was Wu Mengting’s.
"Check which direction this car went last." Chen Tianlong said somewhat excitedly.
The truth was about to be unveiled; he had to hurry to prevent any harm to Wu Mengting.
"Capital City!"
The technician reported the name, and everyone present was stunned.
They had actually left South Sea City, and these people had traveled thousands of miles to take Wu Mengting to the Capital City; what was the reason? Are they human traffickers?
