Gao Wenya accompanied Lee Victoria out of the company and arrived at the gates of South Hill Villa. When she got out of the car and saw that the gates were tightly shut, Gao Wenya hurriedly knocked on the door. The security guard who came to open the door was a young man in his twenties. He looked suspiciously at the limousine and the two gorgeous ladies in front of the door. One was old and the other was young. The young one was young and beautiful, and her behavior was elegant. The old one was graceful and luxurious, with jewels and treasures, and an extraordinary aura. He was newly hired after Wang Dasheng resigned. He did not know Lee Victoria and Gao Wenya, nor could he guess who they were or why they were here. However, seeing that the two of them were dressed well, he did not dare to neglect them. He bowed forward and said,"This is a private villa. Outsiders are not allowed to visit.”
Seeing that the security guard did not know them, Gao Wenya took the initiative to introduce them."I'm Mr. Stanley's secretary, Gao Wenya. This is the chairman's wife. Recently, the chairman was not at home, and Mrs. Zhang was worried. She specially came to the villa to take a look and understand some of the situation.”When the young man heard that it was Mr. Stanley's wife and secretary, he quickly opened the door and greeted respectfully,"Hello, Old Madam! Hello, Secretary Gao!"
"Where's Auntie Li?" Gao Wenya asked again. The security guard said," Mrs. Lewis and Mr. Stanley went to Shen Zhen.”
"If she doesn't care about the villa, why would she go to Shen Zhen?”
"That day, Mr. Stanley sent his driver, Mr. Wang, to pick up Mr. Li. I heard that she went to pick up the young master in Shen Zhen.”
"You brought it back?"
"No, I haven't. She had been gone for a few days and hadn't come back. The restaurant was urging her to pay the bill.”
"Do you know the reason?"
"I don't know."
"Have you heard any news?"
"No, I haven't."
Gao Wenya could only comfort him."
"He's almost back. Watch your door. Manager Li is not at home. Don't let anything happen. It's your responsibility! Especially at night, he had to be even more vigilant. This place was located in the suburbs and was in the wilderness. It was the most likely for something to happen!”The security guard quickly agreed.
"Who's in the inner courtyard?" Secretary Gao asked, pointing at the inner courtyard.”"It's the young master's nanny, Sister Liu."”"Who has the key to the Inner Academy's main gate? Mrs. Zhang wanted to go in and see Sis Liu to understand some of the situation.”"The key is with me, Manager Li gave it to me before he left."”As he spoke, he hurriedly walked to the inner courtyard to open the door.
Gao Wenya accompanied Madam Zhang into the inner courtyard. "Let's go to the garden first," said Victoria. I haven't been here for a long time. I wonder how the management is doing.”The two of them walked into the garden along a green brick path. It was Gao Wenya's first time at Nanshan Villa. She was pleasantly surprised to see the small bridge and flowing water in the garden. The bamboo trees were lush and luxuriant, and the flowers were still blooming in winter. She praised,"So beautiful! What a paradise! To be able to live here, it was simply the life of an immortal! Mr. Stanley is still in the mood." Lee Soo Hyun sighed." Shangri-La has its disadvantages too. It's just that it's too far away from the world. If you do bad things here, it's not easy for the world to find out.”Gao Wenya understood that Mrs. Zhang was talking about Mr. Stanley and that young woman from Northern Jiangsu. It was not convenient for her to comment, so she kept quiet.
Victoria took Gawain around the garden. She looked around and said,"The garden is well managed. It seems that Auntie Li is doing her best. The old staff is still reliable!" He climbed up the bridge and looked around. He had a panoramic view of the entire garden. "This is the highest point of the entire garden. Standing here, you can see all the scenic spots." However, it was winter now, and many flowers had not bloomed. They would look even better in spring.”
Li Shuxian was not in the mood to enjoy the scenery. Thus, the two of them left the garden and walked into the hall of the dormitory building together. Gao Wenya helped Victoria sit down on the sofa and shouted upstairs,""Ms. Larsson, Mrs. Larsson is here to see you!”
When Sister Liu heard the shout, she thought that Auntie Li had returned with Little Jiye. She quickly went downstairs to the hall, but she didn't see Auntie Li and Little Jiye. The person didn't know them. Seeing that they were dressed well, she could only stand cautiously at the side and look at the two noble and unfamiliar women, waiting for her to ask questions.
Gao Wenya made the introduction and said,""Mr. Zhang and Mr. Li aren't at home. Mrs. Zhang came to see you and understand the details of the child's theft. Don't be afraid, just tell the truth.”
Sister Liu nodded cautiously and said,"No matter who comes, I will say the same."”So she told him about the night when Xiao Jiye was lost.
Victoria didn't comment and said to Gao Wenya,""Let's go to the crime scene and take a look."
Seeing that Sister Liu was still standing there, Gao Wenya said,""Sister Liu, Mrs. Zhang wants to see the scene of the child being stolen. Bring us to your bedroom.”
This time, Sister Liu understood. She brought the two of them up to the second floor, opened the bedroom door, and invited the two of them to enter the room to check.
Gao Wenya accompanied Mrs. Zhang into Sister Liu's bedroom and looked around carefully. This was a room that was not very spacious. The bed, wardrobe, and dressing table were all available. This was something that Zhang Jingye had arranged for Zheng Xiaomei back then. Now, it was all left to Sister Liu. Victoria saw a small and exquisite crib beside the big bed. The bedding inside was thick and clean. It was probably the bed of Zhang Jingye's lost son. She bent down and reached out to touch it. She asked,"This is the bed for children?" "Yes." Sister Liu replied. Victoria sighed." In the past, when people brought up children, mother and son would share the same bed. The child would be warm and safe in the mother's arms. Now, it was the other way around. The mother and son slept in separate beds. The newborn baby also slept in a single bed. They did not interfere with each other. If something happened to the child, the mother would not know.”
These words were in line with Sister Liu's lifestyle habits. She quickly said,"This is how we still take care of our children in the countryside. When I first came, I wanted to hug Jiye to sleep, but Mr. Stanley didn't allow it. He said that it was unsanitary and would affect the baby's sleep. When Miss Zheng was around, Jiye slept alone. She didn't want to lose the child! If Jiye slept with me and a thief came to steal the child, how could I not know?”
Speaking of losing her stepchild, not only was Sister Liu still afraid, but she also had some complaints, worried that Mrs. Zhang would blame her. When Victoria heard what Sis Liu said, she knew that she was afraid of being reprimanded. She said,
"You can't be blamed for sleeping in separate beds. This is how people in the city take care of their children nowadays. But weren't the children safe and sound? Something happened when our children were sleeping in separate beds. They disappeared without anyone knowing. Isn't this strange? Someone stole it? How hateful!"
Hearing Mrs. Zhang's sudden words, Ms. Liu was afraid and did not dare to say anything else.
Victoria looked at Sis Liu and asked,"Who investigated you after the child went missing?"”
Sister Liu thought for a moment and said,"First, it was Mrs. Li and Mr. Zhang. Then it was Section Chief Song. Then it was Dewey and Li Hu. They asked me several times."”
"Who are Du Wei and Li Hu?”
Victoria asked Secretary Gao and Sis Liu. Gao Wenya shook her head, indicating that she didn't know. Sister Liu said,
"Section Chief Song brought him here. He's probably here to investigate the case.”
"What's wrong? Did Mr. Stanley report the case?"
Secretary Gao and Sister Liu shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know. Victoria looked at Sis Liu and asked,
"They came to investigate the case. Did you hear who they think stole the child?”
"They didn't say, and I didn't dare to ask. According to Auntie Li, they suspected that Miss Zheng had stolen the inheritance.”Sister Liu stammered.
"That woman from Northern Jiangsu? Why?"
"Because Miss Zheng might have the keys to the building and the bedroom. These two keys were originally in her hands. I heard that it has been more than a year, so she might have made another set.”
"What other reason is there?"
"Because Mr. Stanley pays her a high salary, Miss Zheng thinks that she has given birth to Jiye and has milk to feed Jiye. Her conditions are better than mine, so she has always wanted to stay and be Jiye's nanny. However, Mr. Zhang didn't agree. He asked Manager Li to hire me at the talent market and fired Miss Zheng. Ms. Zheng might be a little angry with Mr. Stanley.”
"When Miss Zheng left, were you there?”
"Yes, this is the house. Miss Zheng hugged Jiye and cried very sadly. She refused to leave. Auntie Li urged her several times before she handed Jiye to me and left in tears.”
"Have you seen Miss Zheng again in the future?”
"Yes, that day. Mr. Stanley was afraid that Jiye would not accept milk and had diarrhea, so he kept her for another two days. Later, Jiye slowly took milk powder and stopped having diarrhea, so Mr. Stanley asked her to leave again. I haven't seen him since."
"Even if Ms. Zheng has the keys to the building and the bedroom, there are security guards guarding the door outside, and the wall is so high.”
"No, she came in by cutting the steel bars of the fence below the wall. That day, we all went to take a look. One steel bar was sawed off from both guardrails. The two steel bars and the hacksaw used to saw the steel bars were salvaged from the stream by Mr. Zhang's people. They were all in the cabinet in the hall.”
"This woman is really capable. She can even saw through steel bars.”Gao Wenya said in surprise.
"This kind of woman is not a rich young lady. What kind of work has she not done in the countryside? Moreover, she was young and anxious to steal a child.”
"A young woman, and it's night time. Even if she's capable, she'll still be afraid. Do you think she will seduce a man to help her out when she's outside? It'll be a good companion and boost her courage.”Gao Wenya asked.
"This is also possible. A woman like her could even do that kind of thing. It was also possible for her to get help from someone outside.”
Gao Wenya nodded. Victoria then asked Sis Liu,
"You also think that Miss Zheng stole the child?”
"I don't know, I don't dare to speak nonsense."
Seeing that she could not get any useful clues, Victoria stood up and said,
"Take us to the two guardrails.”
So the three of them went to the guardrail under the wall to take a look. Just as Sister Liu said, the two guardrails had a steel bar sawed off, just enough for one person to squeeze in. "When Chief Steward Li comes back, tell her to get an electric welder to fix the steel bars. This is to prevent outsiders from coming in and stealing." Just say that I said it." Sister Liu quickly agreed.
The three of them returned to the hall. Victoria asked Sis Liu,
"What have you been doing these past few days?”
"I didn't do anything. I just cleaned the inner courtyard and the building while waiting for Auntie Li to bring Jiye back.”
After a pause, she asked Victoria,
"Mrs. Zhang, do you know when Jiye can be brought back? I'm here to be Jiye's nanny. Jiye didn't come back, so I have nothing to do every day. I'm so anxious!”
Victoria didn't know how to answer. She looked at Gao Wenya. Gao Wenya understood and replied,"
"Soon, just you wait."
Victoria looked at the bedroom and felt that there was nothing else to ask, so she got up and left. Sister Liu sent him downstairs before returning.
After bidding farewell to Sis Liu, Victoria said to Gao Wenya,"Auntie Li isn't at the villa. These two are new here. They don't know anything about what happened in Shen Zhen. There's no point in investigating further. I want to go to Shen Zhen to see what the situation is and what the reason is. Can you come with me?" Gao Wenya thought for a moment and said,"Mr. Stanley isn't in the company. Every day, there are documents sent from all over the country and various departments of the company. I'm afraid I can't leave." However, there is one person who can accompany you. It is Mr. Stanley's driver, Xiao Wang. He was currently waiting for Mr. Stanley in Shen Zhen. Nothing had happened. If you call him, he will definitely know about Mr. Stanley's situation.”This sentence reminded Victoria. She said,"How could I forget about him! Alright, I'll contact Xiao Wang now and ask about the situation over there first.”As she spoke, she took out her phone and called Xiaowang.
Victoria immediately called the driver, Xiaowang.
"Hello, Xiao Wang, this is Mrs. Zhang. Where are you now?"
"Oh, it's Mrs. Zhang. Auntie Li and I are now staying at the guest house of the police brigade in Shen Zhen.”
"You brought the child back?"
"Yes, Auntie Li is feeding him milk.”
"Where's the chairman?"
"Mrs. Zhang, something big has happened! Mr. Stanley, Section Chief Song, Ding Xian, and the private detectives Mr. Stanley hired, Dewey and Li Hu, were all detained by the police!”
"They've been detained by the police! Why?"
"The situation is like this: The inheritance was stolen by Zheng Xiaomei and Wang Dasheng. Who would have thought that the two of them were husband and wife? After the child stole it, they did not go home. They hid upstairs in a residential area on the outskirts of Shen Zhen. Dewey and Li Hu reported the findings to Chairman Zhang. Chairman Zhang brought people to take back Jiye, but Zheng Xiaomei and Wang Dasheng refused to give it to him. Dewey and Li Hu tied them up and carried Jiye back. However, Zheng Xiaomei took the opportunity to call the police, and the police team in the city arrested them.”
Victoria was shocked and complained,"Sigh! What was this? A good thing turned into a bad thing, and a reason turned into an unreasonable one. The older you get, the more muddle-headed you get! So many people are useless!" "Your chairman didn't kidnap anyone. Why did you arrest him?"”
"I'm not too sure about the situation. I think it must be because of Dewey and Li Hu. They were private detectives, and their cases were illegal. They were targets of the state's attack. Since Mr. Stanley hired them, they could not escape responsibility.”Little Wang replied.
"Sigh! What an old fool! If he wanted his child back, he would do it openly. How could he hire those people? What about Song Cheng and Ding Xian? Were they also involved in the kidnapping?”
"I heard that they also participated."
"Where are you and Auntie Li? Why didn't the police arrest you?”
"I waited in the car outside the neighborhood and didn't go in. Although Auntie Li went in, she didn't participate in the kidnapping. She only brought back the child they wanted, so she didn't detain us.”
"Did you hear how the matter was handled? Sentence or fine? Tell the chairman that we are willing to pay more money to settle this matter as soon as possible. There are still a lot of things waiting for him to come back and deal with.”
"I'll tell Mr. Stanley when I see him. I'm afraid the problem isn't that simple. I heard that the police and the court of the city of Shen Zhen are taking this case very seriously and are going to hold a public trial!”
"Public trial? This would have a huge impact! It would affect the company's reputation and business.”
"Looks like it's inevitable. Come quickly, I heard that the court session will be held in a day or two!”
"Alright, I'll go. Look at what you're doing. Aren't you smashing your own brand?”
Victoria put away her phone and said to Gao Wenya,"Looks like things have gotten out of hand! I have to go to Shen Zhen in person. When you return to the company, you must keep it a secret. You must not leak this matter for the time being! He would wait for the chairman to come back before dealing with it.”She looked at Gao Wenya sternly. Gao Wenya felt that the matter was serious and promised Victoria,"Please don't worry, I won't tell anyone.”After saying that, he asked the driver to send Mrs. Zhang to Shen Zhen while he took a taxi back to work quietly.
When Lee Shu-hyun arrived in Shen Zhen, she first went to the detention center of the city police brigade to visit Zhang Jingye. However, the police did not allow it. They said that Zhang Jingye's case was still under trial and refused to let anyone visit him. She requested to see Zhang Jingye again on the grounds that the company's business was urgent, but the police officer still refused. She asked when she could visit, and replied that it would be after the verdict. She then asked when Zhang Jingye's case would be decided and replied that the public trial would be held in three days. Victoria had no choice but to contact the driver, Xiaowang, and go to the police station to visit Auntie Lee and Xiao Jiye.
Victoria Lee came to the hostel of the police brigade in the city of Shen Zhen. She saw that the staff on duty were also wearing police uniforms. She knew that this place was different from an ordinary hostel. She showed her ID card and registered before she was allowed to meet Xiaowang and the others. When she saw Auntie Li and Xiao Jiye, she felt sad and angry. There was an indescribable feeling in her heart. She picked up Little Jiye and looked at him carefully. The child was fair and chubby, and he was very cute. He thought to himself that it was all because of this little thing. Then, he described what he saw and understood at the police detention center. Everyone was surprised and helpless. They could only wait patiently. They agreed to attend the public trial three days later and wait for the court's final judgment.
