Cheng Zhen thought it was a three-year-old joking, but Jiang Xiaoshu's expression didn't seem to be lying.

He asked, "What exactly happened?"

This is too bizarre. Why does Jiang Wan die whenever she thinks about things related to him?

What happened in between that he didn't know about?

But Jiang Xiaoshu just shook her head: "This is what Grandma repeatedly told us to do, so we have to do it. If you have any questions, go ask her."

Didn't he say Jiang Wan's mother had passed away? Why is he telling him to ask her? What's the meaning of this?

Cheng Zhen couldn't help but twitch his lips. For the first time, he felt he needed to examine whether this guy was a normal three-year-old child.

"I've reminded you of what I needed to remind you, and I hope you'll keep your promise."

After saying that, Jiang Xiaoshu got into the RV without looking back.

Cheng Zhen: ? ?

What exactly is going on? Can anyone tell him?

Although he hadn't figured out exactly what was going on, he subconsciously chose to believe Jiang Xiaoshu's words.

It's fine to not tell Jiang Wan the truth for now, and this way of getting along is pretty good too, since they are family after all.

However, he needed to think carefully about how to deal with Jiang Wan's next questions, but before he could come up with a solution, Long Xiangcheng got into trouble.

"Someone is missing?" Cheng Zhen called Yu Fen over and asked, "What happened?"

The entire camp was in chaos. They discovered that several people had been missing since last night and could not be found anywhere. Just now, two of the people who went out to search for them also disappeared.

Yu Fen had just learned of the situation and was about to report to him: "I suspect that a monster has appeared in our city and is hunting humans."

"A monster that preys on humans?" Cheng Zhen expressed his doubt.

However, I can't guarantee that it's absolutely not the case. "Please explain the situation in detail."

Long Wanzhi also arrived: "It's been confirmed; those who have gone missing are all people with spatial abilities."

So targeted?

Yu Fen and Long Wanzhi looked at each other, then both looked at Cheng Zhen.

Cheng Zhen's face darkened, and his entire aura became grim.

In that case, it's almost certain that Zhu Shacheng's people are behind the mischief, without even thinking about what kind of monster is causing trouble. But how did they manage to get rid of the person without anyone noticing?

Cheng Zhen asked, "Has the investigation been completed? Where did these people disappear to?"

"I'm not entirely sure. Some disappeared within the city, while others vanished outside while the city walls were being built."

Long Wanzhi said, "It's almost certain that they were all alone when they disappeared."

There are quite a few people in Longxiang City now, and the planned area is really small, with very little space for people to move around freely.

Therefore, it is very rare for someone to appear alone in a place where there are no people around. For example, right now, they are gathered together discussing important matters, and there are citizens walking back and forth around them. It is really difficult to avoid being discovered by anyone.

"Could it be that they also have time-space ability users like their boss?"

Yu Fen couldn't help but let his mind wander. Besides this, he couldn't think of any other superpower that could take someone away silently without alerting anyone around.

Cheng Zhen had similar thoughts. He asked Long Wanzhi, "How much supplies did the captured people have?"

"They are all level one ability users. They can't say they have too many supplies, but each person has enough to feed all of us for ten to fifteen days."

Yu Fen said indignantly, "That's still quite a lot!"

"How many are missing in total now?"

Long Wanzhi said, "Five."

No sooner had he finished speaking than another exclamation rang out. Immediately afterward, Long Wanzhi's men ran over, their faces grim: "Another one has gone missing."

"What? Are they ever going to stop?!" Yu Fen angrily pounded the city wall beside him.

Cheng Zhen immediately ordered: "Everyone go back and gather together. No one is allowed to go out without orders."

This is to gather everyone together to prevent anyone from being separated and arrested again.

"But this isn't a solution either. We can't afford to delay the construction of the city wall, can we?"

Although Long Wanzhi also felt that gathering everyone together could prevent anyone else from being arrested, it was not a good solution that would solve the problem once and for all.

"Then what do you suggest we do?"

Yu Fen has a rather impatient temperament. Whenever he thinks about how the shameless Zhu Shacheng captured six spatial ability users and took away so many supplies, he feels resentful.

They were already short of food and supplies, eating only two meals a day, just thin porridge and cornbread, trying to make the most of their meager food supply. They never expected that someone would suddenly appear out of nowhere, which made them angrier and angrier!

The other party did not have a specific target; they attacked randomly, which made things very difficult for Cheng Zhen.

Just then, Jiang Xiaoxin's innocent voice rang out from behind them: "Do you need any help?"

Long Wanzhi's subordinates didn't know much about Jiang Xiaoxin's abilities. When they saw her, a three-year-old child, suddenly appear, their instinct was that she was there to cause trouble.

So I patiently coaxed her: "Little sister, are you here to see your dad? They're discussing something. Can you go play over there for a while?"

Jiang Xiaoxin didn't care, or rather, she obediently walked away.

Jiang Wan asked her to come down and find Cheng Zhen for dinner. Her brother was supposed to come along too, but since he had just slipped out for a while and their mother was questioning him about his whereabouts, she came out by herself.

Since the adults are busy with that, they probably won't be thinking about breakfast anytime soon. Well, if they don't want to eat, they don't have to. Let them be.

Jiang Xiaoxin thought about it more and more and felt that this made sense, so she held the plump white buns in both hands, ate them as she walked away, and didn't rush to get into the RV. After all, her mother was giving her brother a moral lesson in the RV, and if she went back now, her brother would definitely feel embarrassed.

Men, after all, care about their pride, and as her own sister, she understands this principle.

Cheng Zhen knew that Jiang Xiaoxin had come to invite him to dinner, but he was furious with Zhu Shacheng's actions and wanted to find an excuse to fight Zhu Shacheng. He felt this was a great opportunity, so he and Long Wanzhi found a quiet place to discuss it carefully. They also ordered soldiers to guard the area to prevent anyone from overhearing and leaking secrets.

"Okay! Boss, I'll do whatever you say!"

Yu Fen had long wanted to teach those scoundrels in Zhu Sha City a lesson, and he immediately rolled up his sleeves to express his opinion.

Long Wanzhi also expressed his support: "We've already been bullied to our doorstep. If we remain indifferent this time, we'll be looked down upon. Let's do it!"

Just then, a terrified scream suddenly came from outside.

Cheng Zhen heard what sounded like Jiang Xiaoxin's voice, her heart tightened, she was startled, and immediately stood up and ran outside.
