Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue nodded. "We understand."

After that, the three of them went out together. Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue went to the watermelon field, while Wen Xi carried a basket on her back and went up the mountain. However, she did not go up the mountain from behind her own house, but went around to the pigsty.

Last year, we planted pasture grass and the pigs were raised very well. This year, the Fengshou Brigade expanded the pigsty and raised twenty pigs directly, so everyone should be able to eat meat to their heart's content during the Spring Festival this year.

Wenxi greeted the person in charge of the pigsty and chatted for a few minutes before carrying a basket up the mountain. Although there weren't many mushrooms this season, there were still a few kinds of precious mushrooms. Moreover, there were many wild vegetables on the mountain, such as locust flowers, toon sprouts, and some other sprouts. As long as they were edible, they could be picked.

After all, there are more men in the house these days, and their demand for these things is quite high.

There were plenty of things on the mountain, so Wenxi didn't need to take anything out of the system warehouse to cheat. Wenxi quickly carried a basket of mountain goods down the mountain. However, when he was still a few hundred meters away from the pigsty, when he could only see the top of the pigsty in the distance, an arm suddenly stretched out from behind and strangled Wenxi's neck.

Then, with the knife in his other hand, he stabbed Wenxi in the stomach at top speed. In just a second or two, Wenxi felt a sharp pain in her abdomen.

She quickly retrieved a life-saving pill from the system's inventory and swallowed it. She didn't want to die so inexplicably; she wanted to live for several more decades!

As she was being dragged into the mountains, Wenxi slipped off her shoes, scattered the wild vegetables in her basket, and even lost her watch. With so many traces left behind, if someone discovered she was missing, they should be able to find her quickly, and even if she was dead, they could collect her body.

It really hurts, and the smell of blood is getting stronger and stronger...

Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue returned just before lunchtime. It wasn't appropriate to leave Wenxi alone with so many men in the house; otherwise, she would be in a very difficult situation.

When the two returned home, they washed the rice and put it in the pot to cook coarse grain rice. They also had some vegetables at home, so they washed, chopped and prepared them. They waited for Wenxi to return, but she didn't come back. Shen Jiaojiao was very worried and would go to the gate of the courtyard to take a look every now and then.

"Comrade Shen Jiaojiao, what happened?" Qin Mi asked worriedly, noticing a hint of panic in Shen Jiaojiao's eyes.

"Brother Qin, Xiaoxi went up the mountain to pick mushrooms. She said she would be back before cooking, but she's already an hour late and still hasn't returned. Although Xiaoxi is a bit carefree, she would never be late when it comes to her own business," Shen Jiaojiao said anxiously.

Qin Mi's expression also turned serious. "Which direction did she come up the mountain from? Was it behind this house?"

"No, she left with us today. She must have come up the mountain from the pigsty," Shen Jiaojiao said worriedly.

"Stop what you're doing and come with me to the mountain to find someone." Qin Mi called over the clerks who were working outside the toilet, and then said to Shen Jiaojiao, "Comrade Shen Jiaojiao, lock the gate in a bit. Don't open the door no matter who knocks. Wait for us to come back."

"Brother Qin, I'll go with you." Shen Jiaojiao called out to Jiang Yue, "Jiang Yue, lock the courtyard gate from the inside, and don't open the door no matter who knocks. Wait for us to come back."

After everyone came out of the yard, Shen Jiaojiao locked the gate from the outside and then led a group of people toward the pigsty. There was a path behind the pigsty, which was used by villagers. Qin Mi and Shen Jiaojiao hurriedly ran up the path.

Seeing Qin Mi so nervous and anxious, the other officers didn't dare to let their guard down, after all, they had never seen Qin Mi like this before.

"Ah!" Shen Jiaojiao suddenly stepped on something and stumbled forward. When she got up and saw what had tripped her, she was shocked. "Brother Qin, these are Xiaoxi's shoes, both of them! Both of Xiaoxi's shoes are here! Something must have happened to Xiaoxi..."

Qin Mi looked at Shen Jiaojiao's hand, and the shoes in her hand were indeed the shoes Wen Xi had worn today. So Qin Mi hurriedly looked for clues around her.

Wild vegetables and mushrooms were scattered all over the ground, and there were many small red dots on the ground. The smell of blood had not completely dissipated in the air...

Qin Mi already had the answer in his heart. He didn't want to believe it, nor did he want to believe it. "Comrade Shen Jiaojiao, you should go and report it to the police."

"Okay, I'll go now." Shen Jiaojiao also realized that Wen Xi might be in trouble. After hearing Qin Mi's words, she turned around and ran. Wen Xi had given her Yan Zheng's number before, so she was going to call Yan Zheng.

Qin Mi solemnly said to everyone, "Search the mountain. Arrest anyone you find. Don't let a single one escape. Only release them after the investigation is completed and it's confirmed that there are no problems."

"Yes." Upon receiving Qin Mi's order, everyone hurriedly ran up the mountain.

Qin Mi hurriedly followed the red dots on the ground, praying in his heart that Wen Xi was alright. He only hoped that she would be okay.

After searching for a long time, they came to the edge of a small cliff. There was no road ahead, but there were still red dots on the edge of the cliff, which meant that Wenxi had indeed appeared here before.

Qin Mi dared not delay for the slightest, and disregarding his own safety, he went straight down the small cliff. There wasn't even a place to put his feet on the cliff. After Qin Mi went down, he ran down quickly due to inertia, but he dared not stop, because if he stopped he would be injured, and if he was injured he might not be able to take care of Wen Xi. He could not allow himself to get hurt.

They soon arrived at the bottom of the small cliff. Seeing that the grass in front of them was lower than the grass on both sides, Qin Mi hurriedly ran over. When he saw Wen Xi lying on the grass covered in blood, he was so frightened that he knelt down on the grass. His heart felt as if it had been torn in two by someone, and he was in so much pain that he was almost numb.

Qin Mi practically crawled to Wen Xi's side. His fingers trembled as he gently touched Wen Xi's nose; her breath was still warm. He quickly pulled her up from the grass, "Xi, Xi, I'm here. Everything will be alright, everything will be alright..."

After picking Wenxi up, Qin Mi quickly left to find the way back to the village. His car was in the village, and driving Wenxi to the hospital would be faster and would buy more time for rescue.

Before Qin Mi could even carry Wen Xi down the mountain, they encountered Yan Zheng, who had rushed over. "Director Yan, could you please send a few people to guard outside Wen Xi's house and prevent anyone from getting close? Also, could you please investigate this matter thoroughly and severely punish anyone who is caught? I'm taking Wen Xi to the hospital now."
