After thinking about all this.
Lin Chuan quickly made another phone call.
Soon, a lazy man's voice came from the phone.
“Hello? Who is it?”
“Lin Chuan!”
“Ah? It's Brother Chuan. Where are you? Why are you calling me?”
“Lao Chu, have you been in contact with Wang Peng?”
“Who? Wang Peng? We had dinner together last week. He even brought his daughter along. He said he's leaving Jing Hai next month. What's wrong?”
Hearing this, Lin Chuan felt a sharp pang in his heart.
Wang Peng was someone he had arrested before.
He had taken drugs and experienced hallucinations, which led him to beat someone up.
Although it wasn't a big deal, he was sentenced to three years.
Lin Chuan personally arrested him, and it was the only time he didn't beat up a criminal.
Lin Chuan felt sorry for Wang Peng.
His family was ordinary, and his parents both passed away when he was a teenager.
He then worked construction and factory jobs, drifting around.
He was alone in the world, and though he worked hard, he didn't have any attachments.
So, he earned money and spent it all on himself.
Until he met a woman, and they got married after knowing each other for only two months.
After getting married, Wang Peng worked even harder to earn money, hoping to give his wife a better life.
But as time went by.
Three years after their marriage, they had a daughter.
This made their already poor family even more difficult.
The woman didn't want to endure the hardships anymore and ran away one night without ever returning.
As for Wang Peng's drug use, it started when he went out drinking and someone gave him a cigarette.
As a result of that cigarette, Wang Peng became completely addicted.
To earn money to buy drugs, he started working like crazy, even trying to quit. He used work to numb himself.
Once, he even fell from a three-story building.
Luckily, he was lucky and didn't die.
Until that time, he had saved enough money to buy a bag of white powder.
After using it, he felt like he came back to life.
As a result, he experienced hallucinations and beat up someone who had insulted him.
After learning about Wang Peng's experiences, Lin Chuan still felt sorry for him.
At least he didn't commit any crimes to get money for drugs, and he didn't abandon his daughter because of his addiction.
He lived in pain every day, even though he was impoverished.
He still persisted for his daughter.
After less than three years, Wang Peng was released from prison.
He chose to become an informant for Lin Chuan and went to Guangdong...
He only needed Lin Chuan to give him some money for every piece of information he provided.
Over time, Wang Peng and Lin Chuan became partners.
From Bei Ning to Guangdong, then from Guangdong to Jing Hai.
Years passed in a flash, and Wang Peng helped Lin Chuan solve several major cases.
Who would have thought...
“Lao Chu, listen to me, go to Wang Peng's house now!” Lin Chuan said, suppressing his emotions.
“Go to his house? Brother Chuan, what happened? What's wrong with Wang Peng?”
“I told you to go, why are you asking so many questions? Go to Wang Peng's apartment now.
If he's not home, search his place, see if he left anything for me!”
Lin Chuan could no longer hold back his anger and yelled hysterically.
This startled everyone in the office.
They all turned to look at Lin Chuan.
“Okay, okay, Brother Chuan, I'll go right now…”
Lao Chu on the other end of the phone seemed to be scared too.
He nodded quickly and hung up the phone.
At this moment, Zheng Bei walked over and said, “Senior Brother, don't be angry. Didn't that person go look already? It's fine, maybe he's just sleeping at home.”
Lin Chuan shook his head slightly in response.
He and Wang Peng had known each other for many years, and they had been working together for three or four years.
Something like this had never happened before.
Moreover, after he hung up the phone earlier, he had a strange feeling of unease.
His intuition told him that Wang Peng's unusual behavior meant there was a problem.
Lin Chuan said nothing, sat at his desk, and waited for the phone to ring.
The others were so scared that none of them dared to speak.
They silently accompanied Lin Chuan as he waited for the phone to ring…
Time passed, minute by minute, until more than an hour later.
The phone rang, and Lin Chuan quickly grabbed the receiver. “Hello?”
“Brother Chuan, Wang Peng wasn't home. I went into his place. You wouldn't believe it, I found a letter under his TV, addressed to you. Should I open it and read it to you?”
“Read it now!”
Lin Chuan said quickly.
Then, there was a pause on the phone for a few seconds.
“Brother Chuan, I've probably been targeted recently. When you see this letter, it means I've been exposed.
Don't feel sorry for me. Actually, I knew this day would come ever since I started working as your informant!”
“Latest news, there's a shipment in Jing Hai that needs to be delivered to Ha Lan. They'll take the country roads, then switch to national highways once they reach Ha Lan's border. The information is accurate!”
“I don't know if I can tell you this information in person. I don't know the exact time, but they should arrive between September 11th and 13th!”
“Hopefully, it's not too late, and you can see this letter and seize the shipment in time!”
“Also… I plan to bring Yingzi back to Bei Ning next month. No place is better than home.”
“If I can't go back… Brother Chuan, can you please take care of Yingzi…”
When Lao Chu read this part on the phone.
He was already sobbing uncontrollably.
On the other end of the phone, Lin Chuan felt numb all over.
As expected, his guess was right. Wang Peng was in trouble.
And the signal he left for Lin Chuan was the exact time.
In the next moment, Lin Chuan quickly recovered from his sadness.
“Lao Chu, this is not the time to cry!”
“Go to the school immediately, pick up Wang Yingzi, pack your things and leave Jing Hai, as soon as possible!”
“Go back to Bei Ning… No, go directly to Ha Lan. I'll be waiting for you there!”
“Go right away, don't delay. Don't tell Yingzi anything, remember?”
As he said this, Lao Chu on the other end of the phone sobbed and said, “Brother Chuan, I, I remember, I'll go get Yingzi right away!”
“Yeah, call me when you pick her up and get on the train. Let me know you're on board!”
“I understand. I'll hang up now, Brother Chuan. I, I'm going…”
After hanging up the phone.
Lin Chuan couldn't afford to grieve. He turned to Zheng Bei and Zhao Xiao Guang.
“What's the date today?”
