Chapter 1018: Chapter 1018 You Don’t Want to Help Me

The next day, Ning Ziping took the earliest bus to the city with Wang Hailan to find the friend who had helped him gather information before.

That person had some clout in Ji City; as soon as they arrived at the workplace, the doorman said someone was looking for him—coming out, he saw Ning Ziping standing at the gate with a woman: "Ziping, when did you come to Ji City, and who is this?"

Ning Ziping smiled and shook hands warmly with the newcomer: "Wei Dong, it’s been a long time. This is my wife, Wang Hailan."

He then introduced them to Wang Hailan: "This is my good buddy, Liu Weidong, now working here in Ji City. His family is also in Capital City."

Liu Weidong led the two to his office; while pouring water, he laughed and said, "You’re not here to see your son, are you?"

Ning Ziping took the water: "Just like the last information you gave me, I couldn’t find him, but I got a tip, so I need to trouble you to help me check again."

Liu Weidong nodded: "Let’s hear it?"

"I heard this time that Lu Yichen was transferred from Chaoyang Commune’s agricultural machinery station to work in the city, seems like he’s entered the public security system. Can you help me find out where he is now?"

Liu Weidong frowned: "The agricultural machinery station doesn’t know? They have to handle procedures for a job transfer."

Ning Ziping sighed: "You know, after I returned to the capital, because my mother and Sun Mei couldn’t get along, I got a divorce, and the child lived with Sun Mei. In their eyes, I was the one who abandoned his wife and child, especially since Stone had an incident last time. Many people in Chaoyang Commune know about it. Do you think my reputation could be any good?"

Liu Weidong looked puzzledly at Ning Ziping: "I really don’t understand, knowing that the education and living conditions in the countryside are not as good as in the city, why did you leave your son with your ex-wife after the divorce?"

Ning Ziping lowered his head: "It wasn’t that I wanted to leave the son behind; it was my ex-wife who insisted on keeping him."

Liu Weidong continued to ask: "I heard from folks in the village that after your divorce, you never looked after your son?"

Ning Ziping felt ashamed: "Yes, I had just returned to the city and my job was not stable, so it was inevitable that I neglected him."

Liu Weidong felt that Ning Ziping didn’t show responsibility in this matter. Even if he was divorced, that son was still his flesh and blood. Such a neglect was for such a long time that no one would believe it.

Liu Weidong glanced at Wang Hailan sitting next to him: "Then, after your son had an incident, the village cadres personally called you, wanting you to take the child back to the city. Why didn’t you agree?"

Ning Ziping remained silent, indeed without any excuse to further avoid the question.

Liu Weidong patted Ning Ziping on the shoulder: "Ziping, you made a huge mistake. When you got divorced, you should have taken your son with you. If you brought a child into this world, you should take responsibility. After your ex-wife passed away, you let your child live dependent on his maternal family, uncaring and uninvolved.

In your son’s matter, you truly lacked responsibility; let alone that when your son got scalded and sought you out, you didn’t even ask half a question and directly denied recognition of him. Aren’t you afraid your son will resent you?"

Seeing Ning Ziping still not speaking, he continued: "I’ve asked around before, the people who adopted him treated him well. Isn’t it good to leave things to fate?"

Ning Ziping looked up: "But I still need to know where he is now. Is he doing well? Only then can I be at ease."

Liu Weidong put down the cup in his hand: "You haven’t cared for him for so many years; are you sure that if you did see him, he would follow you back?"

Ning Ziping sized up Liu Weidong: "Are you saying you don’t want to help me?"

"You know that’s not what I mean, right?"

"Then that’s fine. Regardless of whether he recognizes me or not, I just need to know where he is, so if you still consider me a brother, then give me a hand and check which part of the public security system Lu Yichen is working in for me."

Liu Weidong took a deep breath: "Alright, I’ll ask around for you, but I can’t guarantee that I’ll definitely find out."

Ning Ziping and Wang Hailan stayed another day in Ji City, but Liu Weidong couldn’t find any information about Lu Yichen.

When Ning Ziping found out, he suspected Liu Weidong hadn’t really wanted to help him in earnest; otherwise, even knowing that his son worked in the public security system, how could he have failed to find out any information? He felt somewhat displeased in his heart.
