Chapter 355 - 354: Missing
Mo Ping heard Yiyi’s words and quickly nodded, saying, "Don’t worry, I will definitely increase the number of patrols, and by then absolutely won’t let people come to the medicine factory to make trouble."
Yiyi nodded upon hearing this and said, "Right, you must add more manpower."
However, Yiyi thought of those people’s skills today, and she frowned slightly, then looked at Mo Ping and said, "Forget it, I’ll arrange this matter, I’ll see if I can invite some skilled people over to guard the factory."
Seeing Yiyi wanting to find people herself, Mo Ping nodded quickly, saying, "That would be best, you know a lot of people, so the ones you find are certainly skilled, it’s better that you handle this matter."
Yiyi and Mo Ping talked as they arrived at the medicine factory, but both did not bring up the matter again to avoid unnecessary trouble.
"Yiyi, how come you have time to come today?"
Tao Cuizhu saw Yiyi, quickly smiled and stepped forward to ask, working at the medicine factory during this time really taught her a lot, but the work was usually so busy that she had no time to chat with people, seeing Yiyi now, she couldn’t help but say a few more words.
Seeing Tao Cuizhu also made Yiyi quite happy, she asked about her recent situation.
"Are you accustomed here?"
"Yes, very accustomed, everyone is very nice. I’m happy here every day."
Hearing this, Yiyi was relieved, "That’s good, if there’s any problem, you can go directly to Mo Ping, he will help you solve it."
"Okay."
Tao Cuizhu responded with a smile.
After talking a few more sentences, Tao Cuizhu went to work, while Yiyi continued with Mo Ping to inspect the factory.
"You know, your classmate is really good, although she is a university student, she doesn’t act superior in front of those workers, and she’s very humble and eager to learn, she promptly asks for guidance when there are problems, her intellectual abilities are outstanding, I see that she learned a lot after coming here."
Hearing Mo Ping’s evaluation of Tao Cuizhu, Yiyi couldn’t help but smile, saying, "Cui Zhu is indeed excellent, you have opportunities to guide her more."
"Sure."
Mo Ping naturally nodded.
After discussing more matters, Yiyi finally went home.
Old Master Ding was already at home; he saw Yiyi return, hurriedly and concernedly asked, "Yiyi, are you alright, what exactly happened?"
"Grandpa, don’t worry, I’m fine."
Old Master Ding looked Yiyi up and down, seeing she was truly fine, only then did he relax, "It’s good you are okay, next time when you go out you should take more people along to avoid encountering such things again."
Yiyi quickly waved her hand, saying, "No need, Grandpa, such things won’t happen frequently, besides, I can handle myself."
Old Master Ding was very insistent.
"No, whenever you go out, you must take more people with you, besides you, there should also be such people with your mother, I will arrange this, you don’t have to worry."
Yiyi initially wanted to refuse but considering her mother’s situation, she finally nodded, saying: "Alright, then sorry to bother you, Grandpa." "No bother, why bother saying that between us."
Old Master Ding waved his hand with a smile, then asked about today’s matters, "Do you know who was trying to kidnap you? Tell me exactly what happened today."
Yiyi did not hide anything from Old Master Ding and directly said: "I suspect that Medicine Valley wants to kidnap me."
"Medicine Valley..."
Old Master Ding seemed a bit uncertain, "Are you certain?"
"I can basically confirm."
"How... how do you know those people are sent by Medicine Valley?"
Yiyi recounted her findings, finally saying, "Although I can’t be 100% certain, I can basically confirm it."
Hearing this, Old Master Ding said solemnly, "Alright, I understand, I’ll handle the matter next, you don’t get involved, when there is news, I will certainly notify you."
"Okay Grandpa, I’ll wait for your news."
Yiyi said with a smile, then thought of the factory matters again, "Grandpa, how are the skills of the guards on your side? I’m afraid those people will harm the factory so I want to add more people there."
"You are very considerate, leave this to me, I know quite a number of retired people, many don’t plan to return to their hometowns, they want to stay here, it’s suitable for them to look after your factory."
Hearing this from Old Master Ding, Yiyi smiled quickly, "That’s the best."
But unexpectedly, even before Old Master Ding’s people went to the factory, something had already happened.
"Mo Ping, what’s going on, Cui Zhu was working well here, how could she suddenly disappear."
At this moment, Mo Ping was sweating anxiously, he wiped the sweat off his forehead, and confessed with some guilt, "It’s my fault, I saw she finished her own work, then I assigned her other tasks, unexpectedly in such a short time, she got into trouble."
"Where did Cui Zhu have the incident?"
Mo Ping quickly took Yiyi to the backyard, pointing to a place, saying, "Cui Zhu was probably abducted from here, there’s an inconspicuous footprint on the ground, this footprint should belong to whoever kidnapped her."
Yiyi carefully examined the scene, aside from that hidden footprint, she didn’t really see anything else, "Tell them not to disturb here, I’ll go directly to alert the police."
Upon hearing this, Mo Ping quickly said, "Don’t worry, I sealed off this area from the beginning, so no one else will come."
Yiyi nodded upon hearing this, then quickly reported the case, and the police also came immediately to investigate, besides that one footprint, nothing else was discovered.
"We will continue to investigate this matter."
Upon hearing this, Yiyi frowned tightly and asked, "Officer, previously someone already attempted to kidnap me, do you think it could be the same group?"
The officer, a man in his thirties, who had handled Yiyi’s case the other day, knew the young lady in front of him was no ordinary person, hearing her words, he quickly smiled and said, "Very likely, so we will investigate from this angle, when we have news we’ll notify you immediately."
"Thank you, officer."
Even in a bad mood, Yiyi still politely said.
The officer quickly waved his hand, saying, "Not hard at all."
After the officers left, Yiyi didn’t stay at the factory, she went straight home, intending to ask Old Master Ding some clear questions.
"Grandpa, specifically where is Medicine Valley located in the outskirts of Yuan City?"
Hearing this, Old Master Ding quickly shook his head, saying, "Yiyi, don’t ask too much, I am also very worried about your classmate’s matter but as worried as we are, we mustn’t act blindly."
"Grandpa, I truly am not acting blindly, I am almost certain that Medicine Valley’s people abducted Er Ya, so I want to investigate."
