Liu Wang stepped into the room and eagerly opened the email in her hand. Normally, only her colleagues from the TV station would use email to contact her. Liu Wang was afraid that the station had issued an urgent task, and she had been worried during her meal that she might delay the station's official business.
Strangely, the email only contained a video with no accompanying text. Liu Wang felt an inexplicable sense of unease, and her intuition told her that this video might contain something she couldn't bear to see.
Was it a threatening video sent by kidnappers? Or were the perpetrators from previous cases she had investigated coming back for revenge? Since becoming an investigative journalist, she had received numerous inexplicable videos, ranging from graphic and violent scenes to direct threats on her life.
At first, Liu Wang would still feel scared about this. As she received more videos, Liu Wang would directly block the person sending the messages, delete the messages in one click, and feel no disturbance in her heart. Because the person who would actually carry out retaliatory actions against her would not give advance notice, but would suddenly deliver a fatal blow when she least expected it.
She thought to herself, "I've seen all kinds of threatening videos, why am I suddenly feeling scared this time?" Liu Wang self-mockingly said. She wanted to see what strange thing would happen this time.
The video downloaded quickly and didn't seem to be very long. Liu Wang's finger lightly touched the play button, her eyes squinted slightly, waiting for the show to begin. However, when the first frame appeared, her pupils instantly dilated, and sparks seemed to explode in her mind.
It's the surveillance video from Dad's office! At this moment, there is no one in the frame, but behind the luxurious desk is a huge phoenix painting. This painting was chosen by Liu Wang and Dad together at the furniture market, she couldn't be mistaken! Realizing the video's close connection to Dad, Liu Wang locked the door behind her, put on her headphones, and tremblingly pressed the play button. It felt like there was a small drum in her heart, constantly beating "thump thump," as if it was about to jump out of her chest in the next second. She felt inexplicably nervous and excited, as if she was about to uncover a earth-shattering secret, and all the hairs on her body couldn't help but stand up. As time passed second by second, in the video, Liu Changsheng and a man walked in, the man was shabby, with disheveled hair, in stark contrast to the well-dressed Liu Changsheng.
When the man unexpectedly saw himself on the surveillance camera, Liu Wang finally recognized that he was Wang Mingyang! In the video, Wang Mingyang was even fatter than he is now. Although his face still looked disheveled and distressed, it was clear that he was a lively person with emotions and actions. The Wang Mingyang that Liu Wang had seen in person seemed like a lifeless skeleton, devoid of any signs of life, as if he were a walking corpse.
"Director Liu, please help me. My wife can't hold on much longer. If I can't find my son, I'm afraid she will leave me too..." As he spoke, Wang Mingyang suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to Liu Changsheng.
Liu Changsheng sat motionless behind his desk, his face stern and his eyes revealing sharpness and shadow. Liu Wang felt completely unfamiliar with this side of his father. It turned out that his father's tenderness was only for her... Yes, he was the director in charge of the overall situation, and without being ruthless, how could he have achieved his current position?
"Mr. Wang, I think I made myself very clear before. The Population Management Bureau is not a police station, and cases of missing persons are not within our jurisdiction. If you have the time to come to me, you might as well make a few more trips to the police station, or visit the nearby villages a few more times, rather than wasting your time coming to me."
"I have another suggestion. Why not take advantage of the fact that your wife is still alive and have another child? This would not only alleviate your pain of losing a child, but also make a contribution to our bureau. Why not do it?" Liu Changsheng's tone revealed persistence and mockery.
Wang Mingyang's forehead was already bloodied. Upon hearing this, he froze in place, then lifted his blood-stained head in disbelief, saying, "Director Liu, I heard you also have a daughter. You are also a parent. Why can't you understand the pain of losing a child?"
"It's not that I don't understand, I just don't want to understand. There are so many children being abducted every day. Do I have to empathize with every single one? I'm not God, and having an overflow of compassion does me no good."
Wang Mingyang froze again. It was clear that this simple farmer was not good with words. Faced with Liu Changsheng's sarcasm, he couldn't find the words to refute. Helplessly, he could only hang his head, his body trembling violently, as if enduring immense anger.
He took a deep breath, and when he looked up again, his face no longer showed a humble, pleading expression, but rather extreme hatred and anger. He clenched his fists and slowly stood up from the ground, step by step approaching Liu Changsheng, his eyes fixed firmly on Liu Changsheng's face.
"Director Liu, I didn't want it to come to this. I never speak without evidence, and I'm not afraid to wrong honest people. You've gone too far!"
"Director Liu, over the years, there have been many abduction cases in the city. How did I come to know that these cases were all orchestrated by you behind the scenes?"
