My Youth Began With Him

Huo Mian lifted the lollipop and licked it.

Immediately, she passed out on the ground beside the flowerbed.

The little girl beckoned at someone behind her.

Instantly, a man and a woman walked up and swiftly carried Huo Mian into a van.

It took them less than two minutes to finish the whole process.

When Qin Chu came back with cotton candy, Huo Mian had disappeared.

"Mian?" Qin Chu called out but got no answer.

Alarmed, he dropped the cotton candy and asked the people around the place, "A pregnant woman dressed in white was sitting here a moment ago. Do you know where she is now?"

"Did any of you see what happened to her?"

"I'll pay lots of money for clues. Did you see the pregnant woman?"

Frantically, Qin Chu searched all over the place and asked anyone he saw, but they all shook their heads.

After all, they had been watching the show and didn't notice the things happening near the flowerbed behind them.

At this moment, a dirty homeless boy that was about 14 years old said, "Uncle, I saw her."

"Tell me where she is." Excited, Qin Chu grabbed the boy's shoulders despite the dirt on his clothes.

"Can you buy me a hamburger first?" Pointing at the KFC at the edge of the square, the boy looked hungry.

Without a word, Qin Chu took out 1,000 yuan from his pocket and handed it to the boy. "Take it all. Tell me where my wife is."

"I saw a little girl give her a lollipop and she ate it and passed out. Then a man and a woman came and carried her into a van."

"Okay. Thank you."

Agitated, Qin Chu called Gao Ran, telling him to order the branch bureau in the city to find the van with the footage from their surveillance cameras.

For Qin Chu, losing his pregnant wife was scarier than losing his life.

"Chu, calm down. Mian is smart; she'll be fine." Gao Ran tried to comfort him.

"I can't calm down. When I get my hands on the bastards who took Mian, I'll kill them."

Qin Chu cursed, totally losing his composure.

"Do you want me to drive over and see you?" Gao Ran said.

"It's not necessary. I only need to know the whereabouts of the van; I can handle them."

Meanwhile, the van had driven out of the city and was meandering on a bumpy mountainous road.

They had thrown away Huo Mian's cellphone, so it was impossible to call her phone.

Qin Chu had put a tracker in her phone but when he found it, it was in the hands of a passerby.

Without the phone, it was difficult to find her.

"Have you found it?" In the surveillance room, Qin Chu urged the police officers.

"Mr. Qin, please calm down. Wait one second."

Then they found the clip and zoomed in, showing a man and a woman carrying Huo Mian into the van.

"Mr. Qin, is she your wife?"

"Yes. Tell me the plate number."

The officer zoomed in on the plate number—S1446.

"This number looks familiar; it doesn't belong to a van…" one of the officers murmured.

"Pull out the owner's information."

Sure enough, when they pulled out the owner's information, they found the plate indeed didn't belong to the van. It meant that the van had stolen the plate.

"They stole the plate. What do we do now?"

"Follow the van and track it down." Qin Chu directed immediately.

"But if the van drives out of the city, the surveillance cameras are few and far inbetween. It will be difficult to track it down."
