That terrifying memory was branded deep into Wang Xiufen’s heart.
As time passed, her longing eventually overcame her fear. She found herself thinking: What if my father changed his mind? What if my mother realized I was gone? Would they come looking for me?
So, she begged her grandmother to take her to the Public Security Bureau again to ask if anyone had reported a missing child. The result was that while there were such reports, none of them were from her parents. They were simply the same names she had seen on the list of missing children during her previous visit. In truth, the last time she was there, she had provided the police with the specific characteristics of the place where she had been held. But by the time the police arrived, the house was long empty. After all, once a child had escaped, those people weren't about to sit around and wait for their own downfall. None of the captured children were ever found.
