All the things in the house have been put away, and the yard that was once full of things is now empty.

Lai Erniang carried the last of her belongings into the car, and Zhang Guocai turned around and locked the door.

Shen Changan took the initiative to open the car door and invited his uncle and Lai Erniang into the car.

Jiang Li took Jiang Yun's hand and let her sit in the back seat of the car.

Jiang Yun had never ridden in a car before, and he clenched his fists nervously after getting in.

Jiang Li patted her shoulder gently and comforted her with a smile.

"Xiao Yun, it's okay. I'm sitting right in front. If you have any discomfort, just tell me."

Jiang Yun nodded obediently, and Shen Changan opened the car door and was about to invite her in.

At this moment, two men suddenly ran over. Two of them looked at the car from a distance, and one of them walked forward uncertainly.

"You, you are Jiang Li, right?"

Jiang Li looked back in confusion, and after confirming that he didn't know them, he nodded out of politeness.

"I'm Jiang Li, may I ask who you are?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't know us, as long as you are Jiang Li!"

One of them came forward excitedly and stared at Jiang Li again and again.

He wanted to reach out and grab her arm, but their passion came so suddenly that Jiang Li took a step back in fright.

Shen Changan quickly came to Jiang Li and naturally protected her behind him.

"Who are you? Please don't touch me. If you have anything to say, just say it directly."

Shen Changan found that they were just a little excited and actually had no ill intentions, so his attitude softened a bit.

"You are Mr. Shen, right? We are so grateful to you for what happened last time. Otherwise, we would be in danger!"

"Teacher Shen looks so young and gentle, yet unexpectedly he is so brave and resourceful. He is truly admirable!"

The two saw Shen Changan looking at him with a smile again.

Shen Changan was sure that he didn't know these two people, and their enthusiastic attitude made Shen Changan even more puzzled.

“I’m Shen Changan, which last time are you talking about?”

Shen Changan sorted out his thoughts and guessed that they were most likely talking about the quarry.

What they said next further confirmed his guess.

"It was about the quarry. I heard it was you who saved us!"

"We were captured by the people at the quarry and thought we'd never make it back. Unexpectedly, you and the captain rescued us. Thank you so much!"

They came to express their gratitude. Shen Changan nodded without saying anything more.

"It's all a small matter. It happened so long ago, there's nothing much to say."

As Shen Changan was talking, he pulled Jiang Li to get in the car, and one of them came forward excitedly.

"In order to repay your kindness, we hesitated for a long time and decided to tell you a secret."

Jiang Li clenched his fists, guessing that what they were going to talk about was most likely about his mother.

However, the Public Security Bureau has been investigating for such a long time and still has no definite clues.

They are just two ordinary people. Is the information they provide really reliable?

"What secret?"

Shen Changan had a bad feeling in his heart. He frowned, realizing that the secret they were about to reveal might affect his marriage with Xiao Li.

"Ahem, that's right, it's about the whereabouts of Jiang Li's mother."

One of them lowered his voice and spoke in a voice that only Jiang Li and Shen Changan could hear.

Jiang Li clenched his fists tighter and his eyes widened.

She came here through time and space, and originally thought that her mother had nothing to do with her.

Now when I suddenly hear about her, my heart still beats violently.

"Excuse me for a moment."

Shen Changan was afraid of affecting the mood of Zhang Guocai and Jiang Yun, so he took the initiative to pull them aside.

Seeing this, Jiang Li hurried over. She wanted to see what useful information they could provide.

Zhang Guocai stared out the car window for a long time, feeling vaguely uneasy.

Lai Erniang was originally a little excited because it was her first time to go to the provincial capital, but she calmed down instantly after these two people suddenly appeared.

Only Jiang Yun had no idea what was going on. She had only one thought in her mind: "Why hasn't my sister gotten in the car yet?"

Shen Changan pulled them to the side, and when he saw that they were almost close, he immediately asked impatiently.

"Tell me, what is the secret?"

"Jiang Li, your mother is still alive!"

The man spoke bluntly. Jiang Li looked up in surprise and stared at his face again and again.

"What do you mean? Where did you get this information?"

Jiang Li's emotions couldn't calm down for a long time, and the man explained quickly.

"Your father was murdered in the quarry, and not long after that your mother quietly came to the quarry."

"You've all been to the quarry, and you should know there are several vicious dogs there. Your mother originally wanted to go there to investigate your father's whereabouts, but she was discovered as soon as she arrived."

"Your mother was captured. Through chatting with others, she learned the true cause of your father's death. She originally wanted to secretly escape and avenge your father, but she was caught again."

"Your mother was beaten up, and she angrily and hatefully revealed the evil deeds of the quarry managers. By then, the people at the quarry already knew that their secret was known to your mother."

"If we let her go, she'll probably go to the police station to report the case. Even though the police station has its own people, they're also afraid of letting the matter out."

"They came up with two solutions. The first was to kill the person and silence him. The second was to sell him off."

"Your mother would have been dead in her condition, but luckily for her, a manager at the quarry had a family tragedy and forced him to withdraw."

"The people at the quarry refused to pay him, and finally he proposed to take your mother home to be his wife."

"Because he's the manager of the quarry, and the people there are all on the same page, it's unlikely he'd betray them. So, he's the most suitable person to look after your mother."

"Most importantly, this way we can reduce his share of the profits and deal with your mother at the same time. It's like killing two birds with one stone."

The man said a lot in one breath and was so tired that he was almost out of breath.

Shen Changan had a gloomy face and did not speak, Jiang Li suddenly asked.

"Since it's a secret of the quarry, how could you possibly know about it?"

"Who are you? What is your position in the quarry? Why do you know this inside information?"

"Why did you not tell us before you knew about this, but instead waited several months before coming to us? What was your purpose in telling us this?"

Jiang Li looked at the two of them coldly. They didn't expect that Jiang Li had such clear thinking at such a young age, and his questions were so logical.

They stared at Jiang Li's sharp eyes, cold sweat constantly coming out of their foreheads.
