"Boss, we just received a report from Xiangtang Town saying that an accident has occurred in Shihezi Village, asking for police to be dispatched as soon as possible," An Yi reported the latest news to Ye Cheng.
The name Shihezi Village was not unfamiliar to Ye Cheng. Xiaofeng had gone there during the daytime as well, although he was unsure whether she had visited Upper Shihe Village or Lower Shihe Village.
With that thought, he immediately turned the car around and said to the person on the other end of the phone, "Get in touch with Zhao Youqian, and ask him to find out what happened in their village."
It was Zhao Youqian who had taken Xiaofeng to Shihezi Village to take a look. Zhao Youqian said that their village’s soil was also very suitable for growing radishes, which are sweet and crunchy when harvested. Seeing Xiaofeng building a factory in Chengbei, he too had the idea of inviting Xiaofeng to build a factory in their area.
Not long after, his mobile phone rang again. An Yi relayed to him the situation Zhao Youqian knew about.
Ye Cheng’s expression darkened, and he instructed An Yi, "Notify Ye Fei and the others to come over. I’ve been asleep for so long; it’s about time I woke up, isn’t it."
Someone was trying to test if he had woken up using Xiaofeng’s safety as bait. He couldn’t let them be disappointed, could he?
An Yi, boosted by the boss’s words, responded affirmatively.
Great, the boss had finally woken up. From now on, who would dare say that the young master of the Gu Family would just lie in bed, perhaps for the rest of his life.
"Men Chao, I heard Su Xiaofeng and her children are missing; both the Gu Family and Quan Family are looking for them," Yin Li stood in front of Men Chao, her gaze fixed on him, clearly indicating she wanted to know if he was responsible for it.
"Missing?" Men Chao was surprised. Looking in Yin Li’s eyes, he shook his head, "I didn’t do it."
"Could it be that she couldn’t stand living with the Gu Family and ran away?" Yin Li frowned.
"Keep an eye on this matter."
The two whose eyes hurt soaked in the pond, and afterward, could open their eyes and the pain was alleviated. However, they still couldn’t handle bright light; the moment it shone on their eyes, the pain would be so intense it made them cry nonstop.
They returned to the courtyard and helped the driver to his feet, "Bro, are you okay?"
The driver was propped up, sitting on the steps.
Xiaofeng was enjoying some roasted sweet potatoes at that moment while both Gu Xiaobao and Gu Dabao each held a sweet potato, eating with gusto.
Uncle Dog, watching them eat, clapped his hands and came out from the kitchen, "Zhao Hu is such a lazy man. There wasn’t much left at home, I only found these few sweet potatoes. Make do with these for now. Once the officers arrive, you can come over to my place. I’ll cook noodles for you."
After chatting, Uncle Dog learned that the mother and children had been carjacked. According to the young lady, if they hadn’t had some chili powder with them, it’s uncertain what would have become of them.
"Grandpa Dog, this is really delicious," Gu Xiaobao claimed. Having never tasted roasted sweet potatoes before, he was naturally happy to be enjoying such delectable ones now.
"Grandpa has lots more at home. I’ll pack some for you to take back when you go. Whether you roast or boil them, they’ll taste great," Uncle Dog responded.
"Thank you, Grandpa."
"Uncle Dog," Zhao Qinghua’s voice came from outside, "Uncle Dog, the officers are here. Are you all alright?"
Upon hearing that the officers had arrived, Uncle Dog said to Xiaofeng, "The officers are here; I’ll go welcome them at the entrance."
The officers walked in to see such a scene—beneath the bright moonlight, a mother and her two children each held a sweet potato and were eating.
Several villagers stood guard at the back door.
On the ground lay someone who kept groaning in pain.
On another side, three individuals with obvious injuries were eagerly watching the family of three eat, their mouths opening involuntarily and swallowing unconsciously.
