Chapter 177: Chapter 111: Persecuting the Police? You Won’t Even Spare the Police

CLICK!

The car door opened.

Wang Yu unbuckled his seatbelt and pushed the door open.

Soon, he was riding the elevator up, and in no time, he was standing in front of his apartment.

“Yu, Daddy’s home! I brought you some yummy snacks…”

He was about to push the door open and walk in, but…

RATTLE!

Wang Yu tried the handle twice but found the door wouldn’t budge. He paused, his brow furrowing.

‘This is…’

‘It’s locked!’

‘Who locked it? Yang Chunping? No, that’s not right…’

Wang Yu dropped the snacks he was holding, whipped out his keys, and unlocked the door.

CLICK!

The door swung open.

“Yu! Yu?!”

Wang Yu searched all over the apartment, calling her name, but there was no sign of anyone.

Panic began to set in. Wang Yu ran out of the apartment, intending to search the surrounding complex.

But as he left the building, a neighboring elderly woman who was out for a walk saw him and greeted him with a smile.

“Oh, Wang, you’re back from work?”

“Yeah.”

Wang Yu was frantic and was about to give a curt reply and hurry off.

But then it hit him. He stopped in his tracks, turned back to the woman, and asked urgently:

“Mrs. Liu, have you seen Yang Chunping?!”

Yang Chunping?

“Your wife?”

Mrs. Liu thought for a moment, then said, “She left around noon. Said she was going out for a beauty treatment or something.”

‘Going out for a beauty treatment…’

Wang Yu’s face turned grim.

She often locked their child at home when she went to the salon. He’d told her not to countless times, but she never listened. However…

This time, the child wasn’t in the apartment.

“Did you see our child with her?” Wang Yu pressed.

“No.”

Mrs. Liu chuckled and then added:

“But this afternoon, a young man with a key to your place took Yu away. I went over to ask what was going on, and he said your wife sent him. Something about… moving?”

“He even pulled out his phone and called your wife in front of me, so I let him be.”

“Speaking of which, Wang, are you moving?”

‘Moving? This is a separation!’

Wang Yu’s expression was absolutely ghastly.

‘So, it’s really come to this, a separation. But… to think she would just take our child without even talking to me!’

‘And the man who took our child…’

‘Even though I don’t know who he is, he’s almost certainly her lover!’

Besides,

‘Who “moves” by just taking a child and nothing else?’

‘Even if she found a new place, they’d definitely be staying in a hotel tonight!’

After Mrs. Liu left,

“Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!”

Wang Yu exploded with curses, kicking a nearby tree trunk.

He paced back and forth for a long time, his mind racing.

‘Catch them in the act? Should I go and try to catch them in the act?!’

‘Forgetting for a moment that I don’t even know where they are, my lawyer already told me that trying to catch them myself is almost completely useless…’

‘So, get the police to do it?’

‘As if!’

‘The police have no obligation to help people catch their cheating spouses!’

Wang Yu’s heart was a knot of anxiety. He thought for a long time but couldn’t figure out what to do. Still, he didn’t make any rash moves.

After a long pause, he pulled out his phone and dialed a number.

The name on his screen… was none other than ‘Lawyer Xu – Houde Law Firm’!

RING… RING… RING…

Wang Yu’s heart pounded in time with the anxious ringing. A moment later, the ringing stopped.

“Hello?”

A slightly muffled voice came from the other end of the line. It was Xu De.

It sounded like he was outside; the connection wasn’t great.

But Wang Yu was in no state to care. He anxiously blurted out the whole story.

“Lawyer Xu, my child…”

A moment later,

“So soon?”

A surprised voice came through the phone’s speaker.

Wang Yu was breathing heavily. “What do I do? Should I just go get my child back?!”

The other end of the line went silent for a moment.

After a short while, a voice came through the phone, clear in his ear.

“Mr. Wang, I want you to call the police. Let them handle this.”

‘Call the police?’

Hearing this only made Wang Yu more frantic. He couldn’t help but blurt out:

“But the police don’t get involved in catching cheaters! Besides, she’s the child’s mother; they’ll have even less reason to…”

Before he could finish, the voice on the other end cut him off.

“Catching cheaters?”

“What are you talking about, ‘catching cheaters’?”

Xu De’s voice came through the phone, laced with feigned confusion, as if he had no idea what Wang Yu was talking about.

“Mr. Wang.”

“Your child was home alone when an unknown man used a key to forcibly enter and take them away. This same man then deceived an elderly neighbor…”

“This is clearly a case of abduction!”

“It’s already dark.”

“If you ask me, those two kidnappers are probably planning to spend the night in a hotel before selling your child somewhere else tomorrow!”

“You need to call the police immediately. When they hear ‘abduction,’ I guarantee they will go to that hotel and rescue your child!”

It was a criminal matter.

Normally, the police might not pour massive resources into an abduction case, but that’s usually for cold cases that are years old.

For a case where the abduction just happened…

The police would want to deploy the entire district’s forces to solve it!

‘The entire district’s police force, raiding a hotel to find a child…’

Suddenly,

Wang Yu froze. A muscle in his eye twitched as he asked hesitantly,

“So… this isn’t about catching them cheating?”

“What cheating?”

Xu De’s voice boomed from the speaker.

“This is clearly an abduction!”

“You have to call the police now! If you don’t…”

“…that pair of kidnappers will have rested up, and they’ll grab the child and flee the hotel!”
