"Leilee is a boy from our family's sixth generation single-letter. When his grandfather left, I promised him that he must find Leilee back." On August 21, Ms. Tang Weihua, a Shanghai citizen, said in an interview with a reporter from Yangzi Evening News/Zi Niu News that in accordance with his grandfather's last wish, he would use a house in Minhang District, Shanghai as a reward for finding his grandson Wang Lei. It is reported that this first-floor house located near Jinjiang Paradise in Minhang District has a yard in front and behind, with a market price of up to millions of yuan.

"My son was born on April 7, 1995. He was abducted on August 26, 1999. We have been looking for Leilei for 26 years." Tang Weihua told reporters that his family supports the decision to offer a reward for the house. This house is not only the inheritance left by his grandfather, but also the place where her son Wang Lei lived when he was a child.

The employee who kindly took in, actually kidnapped his son

26 years ago, Tang Weihua's family lived a life of great success. They opened a factory that produces small home appliances and a store that sells home appliances.

"My wife has not been found because her son was abducted, and she became depressed and suffered from serious illness. She has had many surgeries." Tang Weihua, who is now retired at home, said that in addition to taking care of her sick husband, missing and looking for her son Wang Lei has become the whole of her life.

"At that time, I had something to do with my wife, so I entrusted the clerk to take care of my son who was only 4 years old at the time. Unexpectedly, my son was kidnapped by another clerk Lu." Tang Weihua recalled that it was August 26, 1999. When she was delivering things to her husband, she asked the staff in the store to help take care of her son Wang Lei. Unexpectedly, when she returned to the store, she found that her son was missing.

Tang Weihua said that the family was in a hurry at that time and searched everywhere, but there was no news of their son. Until a month later, a police officer from Shatang Police Station in Liuzhou, Guangxi called her and asked her if she knew Lu.

"I jumped up from the stool at that time. The police said that Lu had instructed me to take my son away." Tang Weihua told reporters, and asked the other party anxiously at that time, "Where is the son Wang Lei?" The police said that Lu confessed that he and Wang Lei were separated from Wang Lei when he took Wang Lei to Hemu Town, Rongshui County, Guangxi.

Tang Weihua told reporters that in 1999, Lu went to his factory to apply for a job, but she was fired for not having enough of a month. About a month later, Lu suddenly appeared in front of her and said, "The boss's wife, I have no money and no food to eat, can I take me in?"

"I thought there were more than 30 employees in the store, and it didn't matter if one more or less. Besides, it was the second time I came to me, so I took him in. Unexpectedly, after working for three months, he kidnapped my Leilei." Tang Weihua said.

This employee is a habitual criminal and was sentenced to life imprisonment for multiple crimes.

The reporter learned that Lu, who abducted Tang Weihua's son, was sentenced to 15 years in prison for trafficking in 2000. Since then, the Second Branch of the Shanghai People's Procuratorate filed a complaint on the grounds that the original judgment was wrong and the sentencing was abnormally light. In 2011, the Shanghai Second Intermediate People's Court revoked the original verdict and sent it back for retrial. In the end, Lu was sentenced to life imprisonment that year. Since then, Lu received a commutation of sentence for performing well in prison and was released from prison in November 2022.

Tang Weihua told reporters that the day his son was abducted was only 4 years, 4 months and 19 days. Lu took him to a fellow villager in the same village in Pudong, Shanghai for one night. The next day, he set off from Shanghai Railway Station and took his son back to his hometown in Guangxi.

"At that time, there was a brick factory in the jurisdiction of Shatang Police Station in Liuzhou, Guangxi, and it was losing things. One day, workers at the brick factory found that a person was sleeping under a truck parked in the brick factory. They thought it might be a thief, so they called the police. The police arrested him. The man happened to be Lu. After interrogation, Lu confessed his crime and abducted my family, but lost in the local Hemu Town." Tang Weihua told the reporter of Yangzi Evening News/Zi Niu News that Lu also confessed that he had kidnapped a child in someone else's house three years ago, and was later found by his family, but the victim's family did not call the police, so Lu escaped.

"I didn't expect that three years later, he still had a desperate heart and kidnapped my son again." Tang Weihua told reporters.

Too much to find my son and his family.

Reward for a house in downtown Shanghai to seek clues

"To Leilei's generation, it belongs to the sixth generation of the Wang family. Since Leilei was abducted, his grandparents have been living in the pain of missing his grandson." Tang Weihua told reporters that because her husband was busy with his career, his son lived with his grandparents in a house near Jinjiang Garden, Minhang District, Shanghai since childhood.

Tang Weihua recalled that three months before her son was abducted, she had surgery due to illness and could not give birth due to physical reasons. Her husband was not in a position to find his son and became depressed and suffered from cancer. He had two metastases and had multiple treatments before and after, and his health became worse and worse.

While the Wang family struggled to support their family's business, they searched for Wang Lei's whereabouts. The family fell ill and found their son but failed. In the end, they closed the store in 2013.

"His grandfather still shouted Leilei's name before his death. His wish for the rest of his life was to see his grandson return safely and leave a last wish to use this house as a reward for finding his grandson. As long as he provides direct clues to find his grandson, the house will be given to the other party." Tang Weihua told reporters that his family also agreed with this decision, and she also made a poster for finding a child.

Tang Weihua told the Yangzi Evening News/Zi Niu News reporter that this house located in downtown Shanghai is on the first floor and has a courtyard in front and behind. As for the market price, Ms. Tang said she had never paid attention to it, and there should be millions. The reporter saw from the positioning map sent by Ms. Tang that the house is located near Jinjiang Paradise, Minhang District, Shanghai. Judging from the relevant platforms, the second-hand houses in this area are more than 50,000 yuan per square meter.

Over the past 26 years, Shanghai and Guangxi have traveled countless times.

I still keep my son's toys and paintings

"It has been 26 years since August 26. For the past 26 years, we have been searching, and I don't know how many times we have traveled from Shanghai to Guangxi," said Tang Weihua.

Judging from the relevant information Ms. Tang showed to reporters, she still retains several toys before her son was abducted, including ducklings, chicks and cats. Although some paintings have been damaged, in Tang Weihua's eyes, seeing these is like seeing their son when they were young. Tang Weihua burst into tears countless times with her well-preserved photos of Xiao Leilei and her family.

On a strip table at Ms. Tang’s house, there were thick stacks of train tickets, which were the evidence that she and her husband were looking for their son over the years. She said that she and her husband traveled between Shanghai and Guangxi countless times, and even found Lu Mou who had been released from prison, asking the other party to take her to retrace the path of abducting Wang Lei and missing back then, and spreading the search in a net with this center, but they were just disappointed again and again.

"Actually, my husband and I have already provided the blood samples to the public security for filing. Maybe my Leilei has not yet realized his identity as abducted." Tang Weihua said that just after he announced the reward announcement, he did receive many relevant clues provided by netizens, but most of the clues were eventually confirmed to have nothing to do with his son. Some clues she suspected were involved in the abducted case, and would submit these clues to the public security organs for further processing.

"The public security organs contacted me two days ago and asked me to submit relevant information again, saying that it would be helpful for finding my son." Tang Weihua told reporters that his temples are now gray and he is no longer young, but he has never given up looking forward to his son's return.

Tang Weihua sent two photos to the reporter, one is a photo of her son still with her husband at the time, and the young woman was having dinner with her husband. The two were full of energy; the other is that they are now sitting at the dining table and are looking old.

"The difference is too big. Who can understand our inner suffering?" Tang Weihua said that her son's household registration is still in the household registration book of the old house. She could feel that her son would definitely return to them.
