Li Xinxin's reaction made Xu Zixi laugh. It seemed that it was still her two babies who had the greater charm!
After taking the first step of greeting, little Li Xinxin was no longer as reserved as before. She nudged her father's arm, indicating that she wanted to get down, and Li Mao put her on the ground accordingly.
After Li Xinxin landed, she took out two candies from her small cloth bag. She walked shakily towards the two babies and whispered, "Brother, have some candy."
Xuanxuan and Xuxu looked at Xu Zixi. After getting her permission, they took the candies from little Li Xinxin and said, "Thank you, Sister Xinxin."
Little Li Xinxin smiled.
There were two small dimples on her cheeks when she smiled, which added to her cuteness.
Xu Zixi stroked the heads of the two babies and said, "Good babies. Will you take Sister Xinxin over there to play with toys?"
Xuanxuan nodded. "Okay, Mommy." He reached out his hand to Li Xinxin. "Sister, let's go play together."
Then, the three little kids held hands and went to play with toys! After the babies left, the adults finally had space to talk about business.
"Let's talk in the reception room," Yan Yincheng said.
In the reception room.
Li Mao sat down on one end of the sofa with his wife. He said, "Mr. Yan, I'm very glad that you recognize my ability. After receiving your call, I immediately packed my luggage, settled everything, and rushed here with my wife and child!"
"Have you really thought it through?" Yan Yincheng asked.
"I feel honored to be able to help Mr. Yan and Miss Xu again! To be honest, this time in Fengcheng, I helped Mr. Yan get justice for you, Miss Xu. This made me rediscover the meaning of choosing this profession in the first place, and I found the self that I had lost. After returning to Hangzhou, I told my wife about this experience. She expressed her understanding of me and encouraged me..."
He said with great emotion, "She encouraged me that if I really like this profession and really want to do something meaningful for some people, then I should do as I wish without any concerns. And she is willing to leave everything behind and accompany me with our child, so that I can pursue my ideal without any worries."
The understanding developed over this period of time made Xu Zixi immediately understand the purpose of Yan Yincheng calling Li Mao here.
Speaking of which, it was impossible to rely on the local media to deal with Zhao Quanjing. His network was so extensive locally that maybe as soon as they approached a media outlet, that outlet would tell Zhao Quanjing about it. This would be extremely disadvantageous to them.
But Li Mao was different. He had very rich experience in guiding public opinion, and he also had his own online army resources at this moment. Moreover, because he had exposed the affairs of Ji Xinyue and Yuan Ya'er in Fengcheng before, he had attracted a great deal of attention on the Internet. He was a figure with built - in exposure and attention. If he was on their side, he would be a powerful ally.
However...
"However, this matter is somewhat dangerous," Xu Zixi said.
When Xu Zixi said this, Li Mao knew that the matter she was going to talk to him about was rather serious. So, his expression also became solemn. "What kind of trouble is it exactly?"
In front of Li Mao and his wife, Xu Zixi told them about Zhao Quanjing's evil deeds of luring innocent girls from various places under the pretext of recruiting workers and then putting these girls up for sale in nightclubs.
After hearing this, Li Mao was extremely angry and even trembled with rage. "Is this still human? This is simply a brute! Such a person must be severely punished!"
Liu Meixiang was from a small town in Hangzhou. Such a horrifying thing made her turn pale with fright. But she quickly came to her senses and said:
"I encountered such a thing a few years ago."
This time, not only Li Mao but also Xu Zixi and Yan Yincheng were a little surprised.
"Wife, what's going on? Tell us quickly," Li Mao asked.
"The person who was taken away was my childhood playmate," Liu Meixiang recalled. "I remember it was five years ago. A man who claimed to be from a factory in Haicheng came here to promote the good treatment of their factory. But you know, there is no shortage of factories in Hangzhou, so many girls in the town were not interested. Only Du Li, who had a conflict with her family. Her stepmother forced her to marry a lame man. She was eager to escape from this place, so she left with that man. Before she left, she also told me that she would keep in touch with me, but I haven't heard from her since she left."
"Later, I also went to her home to ask, but her family didn't care about her whereabouts at all, and finally, the matter was left unresolved. To be honest, the reason I came to Haicheng with A Mao this time was actually with the hope of seeing her."
After Liu Meixiang finished speaking, there was a moment of silence at the scene.
No one was willing to associate Du Li's experience with the dirty deeds done secretly by Zhao Quanjing's nightclub, because it was really too cruel and disgusting. They all hoped that Du Li was really working in a factory in Haicheng, that she had escaped from her original family, and that she had now formed her own family and found her own happiness.
Finally, it was Yan Yincheng who broke the silence first. He asked, "Li Mao, have you learned how to conduct undercover investigations?"
Li Mao replied, "Mr. Yan, I have! Do you mean that you plan to let me go undercover in that nightclub to investigate the situation?"
Undercover investigation means that journalists go deep into the front - line scene and use hidden cameras to capture key evidence. And undercover investigations are usually very dangerous. Some journalists even can't get away smoothly because their identities are exposed. So not every journalist can successfully conduct an undercover investigation, especially in an entertainment venue that hides a huge secret.
"That's right," Yan Yincheng said. "I called you here because I want you to go deep into it, find and take away the witnesses who are willing to testify and protect them. Besides, find out their next move and capture the key evidence of them luring innocent women from other places."
"However, as Zixi said, this move is undoubtedly very dangerous. If you have concerns, I can also arrange another task for you. I'll find someone else to do this."
Xu Zixi also knew that undercover investigation was very dangerous. She didn't want others to be in danger just because she wanted to bring down the Zhao family. So she said, "Brother Cheng, there's no need to be so troublesome. With my skills, I can completely hack into their system. I can handle it alone. If all else fails, there's still Fang Ruiyang to help me."
But that was exactly why Yan Yincheng wanted to find someone else to do this.
