Chapter 211 Speculation



Song Li subconsciously felt something was wrong, "Did you remember it wrong?"

"This walkie-talkie is military-grade. Its transmission range far exceeds the range you mentioned. We shouldn't be unable to get through."

Shu Miao was stunned for a moment by his questioning, and then sneered nonchalantly.

"It's really funny. I don't care whether you believe it or not, how could a grown man like him lose himself?" After she finished speaking, she turned and left.

"Eh!?" Song Li knew he had said the wrong thing and wanted to explain, but since the person had really left, he didn't dare to ask any more questions.

It’s because his “boss” does things in an unethical way, but what else can he do as an employee?

He turned around and hurriedly started the car, ready to look for it in the village first.

On the other hand, Shu Miao returned home quickly, served a late lunch to Xiao Hei, who was crying in grievance, and then turned around to wash up.

Just as I finished cleaning up, I heard the village radio crackling.

She didn't even need to listen carefully, a missing person announcement suddenly sounded.

At this point, Shu Miao finally confirmed that this was not a prank by Zhou Yang, but that this person had inexplicably disappeared in his own territory!

She hesitated for a moment, but decided to go to the village office to see what was going on.

Just as she made up her mind, the clear sky suddenly darkened.

Seeing that it was about to rain, she turned around, took her umbrella and went out.

Soon, fine raindrops fell with the wind, hitting the umbrella with a rustling sound.

"Woof..."

Shu Miao looked back at Xiao Hei whose head was soaked by the rain, and was speechless. He directly scolded him.

"Xiao Hei, go back!!!"

"Awoo, woo, woo..." It blinked its wet eyes and groaned as it squatted on the spot.

That pitiful little look gave Shu Miao a headache.

He turned around, bent down, grabbed the back of its neck, and carried the dog back.

At this moment, a group of children running home in the rain ran past her.

One of the chubby little girls rushed towards Shu Miao with a wrinkled nose.

At the moment when Shu Miao was surprised, he hugged Xiao Hei and glared at Shu Miao angrily.

"How could you bully Xiao Hei? That's too much!"

Shu Miao: ???

She lowered her eyes to see that the mud on Xiao Hei's feet had been wiped clean, and fell silent instantly.

At this moment, a girl fell behind the group of children who had run for a distance. She looked back and saw her friend stopped, and shouted quickly.

"Xiaohua, hurry up! If they tell the village chief first, we'll be out of candy!"

When Shu Miao heard this, an idea suddenly came to his mind. He turned to look at the girl and asked, "Did you see where the person the village chief mentioned went?"

The girl was a little timid, and when she was asked this question, she subconsciously turned around and tried to run.

Shu Miao naturally wouldn't let such a little kid get away, so he ran a few steps, stretched out his hand and grabbed her collar.

"Hey? I have candy here too, and you can tell me the same thing. They ran faster than you, so you definitely won't get any candy if you go there again."

As he spoke, he took out a handful of candies from his pocket. The colorful candy wrappers instantly made the girl's eyes light up.

Next, he told the story of how Zhou Yang first walked around the village and then went up the mountain.

Tempted by the candy, the girl who had just been holding Xiao Hei tightly also came over.

Shu Miao was frowning and confused, and seeing this, he directly stuffed the candy into the girl's hand.

He no longer cared about them and walked straight to the village office with Xiao Hei, who was barking at his side.

We happened to run into a group of seven or eight people, led by a child who was chattering about similar things.

Song Li saw Shu Miao's face suddenly froze, and he was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say.

Do you want him to just say that his boss has problems again?

Shu Miao didn't even glance at him, and looked directly at the others.

"Are you planning to go up the mountain to look for someone?"

"Yeah, what's the factory manager doing?"

"Oh, I have something to do at the village office. It's raining and the roads are slippery, so be careful."

"Hey, it's okay, we're used to walking here." The leading guy scratched his head and smiled foolishly.

Seeing that they still had time to chat here, Song Li was very anxious. He did not care about Shu Miao standing beside him and hurriedly urged them,

"Can you guys talk later?"

Shu Miao then looked at him and nodded, indicating that they should go and come back early.

After receiving her eye signal, the few people's attitude towards Song Li instantly improved a lot.

After taking a last look at their receding backs, Shu Miao still went to the village office.

After handing over the results of the investigation over the past few days to Chen Yonggui, he asked about Zhou Yang.

Chen Yonggui pushed his reading glasses and made some revisions on the paper leisurely. He smiled and shook his head when he heard this.

"I saw Doctor Wang's grandson wandering around our village early this morning with a sketchpad. I guess he went up to the mountains to paint the scenery."

"Then why did you lend people to him?" This was what Shu Miao was confused about.

"I didn't just borrow someone, I hired him! Let them go. There's no danger on this mountain. The worst they'll do is get covered in mud."

She opened her mouth, but ultimately decided not to continue the conversation. However, she had a bad feeling in her heart.

After all, nothing good ever happens when I meet this guy. I hope he doesn't cause any trouble this time.

This bad premonition continued until Chen Yonggui's voice was heard on the radio again.

This time his tone was much more serious, and he told the young man who had no important work to do to go to the mountain to find someone as soon as possible.

Shu Miao could no longer sit still and hurried to the village office again.

When I saw the walkie-talkie covered in mud and water, I felt dizzy.
