Chapter 259: Chapter 259 Bad News 2_1

"It’s fine, go ahead," He Zhilan’s voice trembled slightly. Even if it was bad news, it was better than having no news at all.

"Well then, I’m telling you..." Tan Heqian hesitated for a while before continuing, "My brother later found an old woman living near our house who knew that three months after you disappeared, your family, I mean, your uncle and your parents moved away due to job transfers. No one knows where they moved. Since everyone living there didn’t stay long and the adults were all very busy, the old lady was clueless about our situations. She just knew that Lan Lin was your uncle’s child and your uncle and father were soldiers. She knew that everyone called your aunt Sanmei, but she doesn’t know if it’s her rank in the family or if her name was indeed Sanmei. As for your parents’ names, even no one remembered. The old woman said, everyone called your father Gu Tuan and your mother Xiaolan. Since all the parents were busy and didn’t stay there for long, they rarely met. The old woman even couldn’t remember what they looked like."

"They moved away just after three months? Did they leave any messages?" He Zhilan’s hands hidden in her sleeves slowly clenched into fists, her downcast eyes were blurry, gazing blankly at nothing in particular.

Tan Heqian shook his head, "They said the move was very hurried, like the transfer order from above was urgent."

Seeing that He Zhilan wouldn’t pick up the conversation, Tan Heqian continued, "There’s also one piece of bad news. My brother heard from an old friend that Lan Lin had an accident. The place where Lan Lin had the accident was my brother’s friend’s hometown. The incident shocked the entire city, so my brother’s friend knew about it."

"What?" He Zhilan felt a bad premonition, her slightly reddened eyes looked at Tan Heqian, her lips slightly parted, her voice hoarse, "Is it that Lan Lin is no longer in this world?"

"Yes, he has been gone for almost eleven years." Tan Heqian nodded, "Not long after you were abducted, Lan Lin was kidnapped and killed. The killer was rumored to be a pair of criminal brothers whom Lan Lin’s father had personally sent to prison. Somehow those who were sentenced to life imprisonment managed to escape from prison and captured Lan Lin, who was taken across several cities. Lan Lin was killed in a fit of rage when they were constantly pursued by the police."

Seeing He Zhilan biting her lip and enduring, Tan Heqian felt a surge of discomfort, "But don’t worry, my brother is trying hard to find Lan Lin’s parents. As long as we can find Lan Lin’s parents, it’s enough!"

"But, does anybody know where they were transferred to by then? The country is so big, where should we look for them?" Disappointment was inevitable. In He Zhilan’s mind, there was just one phrase, ’over three months.’

That is to say, her parents only waited for her at the original place for just over three months.

So, even when she grew up, even if she remembered the city and place where she got lost, once she saved enough money for a train ticket, she still wouldn’t find them.

She was missing, vanished from their lives, and they, too, quickly left the place she had been remembering.

Tan Heqian was left speechless by He Zhilan’s rebuttal. Indeed, no one knew where Lan Lin’s parents and He Zhilan’s parents were transferred to at that time. The fact that Lan Lin was killed was suppressed and never made it to the newspapers. Therefore, they only heard about the incident from others but lacked detailed information that could help He Zhilan in her search. After all, the city where Lan Lin met his demise was not the city where he lived; he was only kidnapped and killed there.
