Chapter 744: Chapter 744 is Yueyue’s handwriting

Si Chen said solemnly, "Don’t worry, leave everything to me. I won’t let dad and Yueyue get hurt. We’ll definitely find Yueyue safe and sound."

Hearing his words, Tong Yao felt slightly relieved, but she was still very worried about Tong Yue.

She felt very guilty and blamed herself for being careless.

A thought occurred to her, and Tong Yao’s eyes lit up. "Do you remember that beggar I mentioned to you before? Could he be the one who took Yueyue?"

"I think it’s possible. Maybe that guy was there to scout out the situation." Hu Haiyun regretted not having been as vigilant as Tong Yao had been previously.

Si Chen pondered for a moment. He wasn’t certain now, but this was still a clue. "Do you have the phone number of the officer in charge of this case? Give him this clue and see if it helps."

Tong Yao nodded. "I do. I’ll call him right now."

Tong Yao quickly dialed the number, describing the appearance of the beggar and the places he frequented. After she hung up, Si Chen happened to pull up in front of the milk tea shop.

Guo Miaomiao, unaware of Tong Yue’s disappearance, was making milk tea for a customer. Seeing Tong Yao walk in, she greeted her with a smile as usual.

"Sister Yaoyao, it’s good that you’re here. Someone dropped off an envelope for you."

Tong Yao was stunned. She immediately asked, "Where is it?"

Guo Miaomiao took the envelope from the drawer and gave it to her. "Here it is. The one who delivered the envelope was a kid, about twelve or thirteen. It’s odd, the envelope isn’t signed, it’s blank."

Without giving it a second thought, Tong Yao quickly opened the envelope. As soon as she saw the handwriting on the note, she recognized it. "This is Yueyue’s handwriting."

Reading the words written on it, her face suddenly turned pale white. She passed the note to Si Chen, "They’re asking for a hundred thousand yuan. The kidnapper has been very careful, having Yueyue write the ransom note. I think we know the person who look Yueyue; they must be afraid that we will recognize their handwriting, so they made Yueyue write the note."

A hundred thousand yuan isn’t much to her at the moment. She’s willing to give them the money as long as her daughter’s safety is assured.

What she fears is that they will take the money without releasing Yueyue.

Hu Haiyun also saw the content and analyzed, "They didn’t write the exchange location. They only asked you to prepare a hundred thousand yuan. They will probably contact you again."

"Money isn’t the problem, I’m afraid they won’t release her after taking the money." Tong Yao expressed her worries.

Noticing Tong Yao’s anxiety, Si Chen took hold of her hand in consolation, "Don’t worry. Let’s calm down and think about who, from those we know, would hurt Yueyue?"

Guo Miaomiao, who had overheard their conversation, was terrified. She asked hastily, "Sister Yaoyao, has Yueyue been kidnapped?"

Tong Yao snapped back to reality and nodded, "Yes, but don’t tell my parents for now. I don’t want them to worry."

Guo Miaomiao quickly nodded. She listened as Si Chen asked, "Have you seen the delivery person before? Which direction did he go after delivering the letter? Did he say who asked him to deliver the letter?"

Guo Miaomiao shook her head. "I’ve never seen him before. He bought a cup of milk tea after delivering the letter and then turned right when he left the store. He said an older brother asked him to deliver the letter."

Regret washed over Guo Miaomiao for not being more alert and inquisitive.

At the moment, Tong Yao and Si Chen’s minds were on Tong Yue, and they didn’t have the energy to concern themselves with Guo Miaomiao’s thoughts.

Si Chen said, "Let’s go to the police station to see if there are any clues."

"Okay."

Tong Yao was worried about Tong Yue, but she knew that breaking down now wouldn’t solve anything. She had to calm down and carefully consider who among the people they knew would hurt Tong Yue.

Not long after the three of them arrived at the police station, Gu Hongwei and Guo Jinnian, having been notified, also arrived.

On learning that Tong Yue hadn’t been found, their faces tightened as they tried to maintain a serious demeanor.

Guo Jinnian then started to curse the kidnapper relentlessly. Her outburst provided a small respite from the tense atmosphere in the room.
