Yao Tongjia, who had just sent her father to prison in modern times, was in a plane crash and transmigrated into a period novel. What? Their family of three are all cannon fodder, meant to make way...

Chapter 450 Clues

Upon hearing the question, Xiao An immediately stood up straight: "I followed that person in white, but after going around in circles, he ended up back on the mountain!"

"Back to the mountain?" Ruan Shengpeng felt uneasy. These people were so close to his territory, what were they planning to do?

"Yes, that person is in a cave on the mountain. I heard voices and there were several other people inside, but they haven't come out yet!"

Ruan Shengpeng couldn't sit still any longer: "Have they found out about you?"

Xiao An shook his head: "I saw Battalion Commander Wei on the mountain and thought I'd ask him to deliver a message to you, but he knocked me unconscious. I don't know anything else, and I don't know if they're still up there!"

Ruan Shengpeng stood up: "Call the people from the Second Regiment over here, let's go up and take a look!" Regardless of whether we've alerted them, it seems the people upstairs have been planning this for quite some time.

Now that we're going up there, we're bound to find some clues. Seeing that Xiao Gengwu was about to leave, Ruan Shengpeng called out to him, "Come up with me. You have good observation skills, help me see if there are any clues!"

Xiao Gengwu originally thought this was a matter for the military camp and he shouldn't get involved, but now that his father-in-law had called, he could of course go and see who was trying to find out about him.

When the group arrived at the cave, they found it in complete disarray, clearly indicating a hasty retreat with many items scattered on the ground.

Xiao Gengwu didn't look at other places, but went straight to the place with the bed. The bed was actually a stone bed, but the owner of the bed knew how to enjoy life and had put a mattress on it.

A cherry blossom patterned sheet was laid on the mattress, and Xiao Gengwu could smell the faint fragrance of the mattress even while standing, despite the mess in the rest of the room.

This bed was the only one that wasn't messy at all; it was still very clean and tidy, as if it were waiting for its owner to return!

Xiao Gengwu initially stood and observed, but later sat down. He then lifted the mattress to take a look, and realized that the mattress and sheets were not something ordinary people could afford!

Ruan Shengpeng walked over: "Is there something wrong with these sheets and mattress?"

Xiao Gengwu pointed out the logo: "Dad, do you see this logo? I heard Tongtong say before that this brand's products are not easy to buy; you have to place an order to get them!"

Ruan Shengpeng repeated Xiao Gengwu's words: "Only by ordering?" His eyes lit up: "Do you know where to order?"

Ruan Shengpeng even went over and touched the sheets and mattress. He used to be a famous young master in Beijing, but now life has worn away his edges.

He no longer knows where he bought some of his luxury goods!

Xiao Gengwu replied slowly, "I overheard Tongtong muttering the other day that you can order things like this at the Overseas Chinese Shopping Mall!"

The clues were now very clear. Ruan Shengpeng was pleased and wanted to call the guard, but then he put his hand down and thought better of it: "Why don't you and Tongtong go ask for me? You can go buy something while you're at it. That way, you won't be such a big target!"

Xiao Gengwu nodded: "That's possible, but can my father-in-law get reimbursed?"

Ruan Shengpeng: "......."

"Your wife earns so much money, and you still come to me for money? And you do so much research yourself, don't you have any money?" Ruan Shengpeng's voice trembled as he spoke of research.

Xiao Gengwu shrugged: "I've already given it all to Tongtong. Now that I'm asking Tongtong to go shopping, can I go empty-handed?"

Ruan Shengpeng retorted shamelessly, "I don't have any money either. I gave all my salary to your mother-in-law. You'll have to go ask your mother-in-law for it yourself!"

Xiao Gengwu: "......" So you and I are the same type of husband, giving all your money to your wife!

An elite regiment searched the area for a long time before Xiao Liu reported, "Commander, we haven't found any clues!"

Ruan Shengpeng was actually mentally prepared. The people he brought today might be good at kung fu, but none of them were reconnaissance soldiers.

This is why he sought out Xiao Gengwu; only Xiao Gengwu had clues. The other items were either burned or were extremely ordinary, offering absolutely no leads.

Xiao Gengwu, who was standing nearby, remarked, "They're eating rice, and this rice doesn't look cheap!"

Ruan Shengpeng walked over and picked up the rice: "This is japonica rice? People still grow japonica rice? I heard that the yield of this kind of rice is very low!"

"The yield is very low, but the price is high. The main problem is that this kind of rice can't be grown in just any soil!" Xiao Gengwu continued to throw out bombshells!

Ruan Shengpeng asked in a low voice, "Move everything back here?"

Xiao Gengwu's lips twitched: "Take it back and throw it away as trash? Just take the rice, mattress, and sheets back!"

Ruan Shengpeng thought to himself, "Luckily I didn't ask you to take it back directly, otherwise you would have argued with me again, and where would I put my face then?"

The next day, Xiao Gengwu told Yao Tongjia that he was going to the Overseas Chinese Store to buy something. Yao Tongjia asked curiously, "Why do you suddenly want to go to the Overseas Chinese Store? What do you want to buy?"

Xiao Gengwu naturally told Yao Tongjia about the mattress and sheets. Yao Tongjia laughed after hearing this, saying, "It's not suitable for you to go. I'll ask Youyou and Xinyue to go instead. I guarantee we'll complete the mission!"

Xiao Gengwu thought for a moment and understood: "Alright, you guys go ahead. I'll stay home with Xiaobuding. Remember to buy Xiaobuding a fluffy white dress!"

"You don't need to buy the dresses. She has countless dresses in her closet. Come and take a look. They were all bought by Youyou and Xinyue. They buy a ton of dresses whenever they go to Hong Kong!"

Xiao Gengwu was startled when he saw Yao Tongjia open the closet. Inside were a pile of white and pink dresses, almost bursting the closet!

Xiao Gengwu sighed, "They don't give me a chance to shine?"

"You want to show off? It's easy! Just make a few more toys for Little Pudding. She really likes the toys you make!"

When Xiao Geng met with the speaker, he stood up and said, "There's also timber. I'll make her a miniature watering can!"

Speaking of the watering machine, Yao Tongjia handed over a bankbook: "This is the profit from the watering machine. I looked at it and it's not much. Why don't we just let them forget about it and not give it to us?"

Xiao Gengwu nodded: "Okay, let's give all the profits to the village so that all the children can go to school!"

Hearing this, Yao Tongjia had a sudden inspiration: "Why don't we just not say we don't want the profits? We can donate all of these profits to the town, and use the money to help the girls on the farm go to school!"

"To provide education for girls from rural backgrounds?"

"Yes, in towns where both parents work, they usually send their daughters to school, but it's much harder for girls in rural areas to get an education. This amount of money isn't small, and it's just right for our daughter's education!"

Xiao Gengwu didn't care: "You can make the decision, I don't care!"

Yao Tongjia knew Xiao Gengwu was like this: "Then I'll go out now to find Youyou and Xinyue to go shopping. I won't be back for lunch, so you'll have to figure out your own lunch!"
