With such a big incident, no one was in the mood to work, especially Xia Hongfen.
Xia Mingshi said, "I think we should still ask Village Chief Wang for help. Chunmei is probably too embarrassed to ask him for help. Among the people we can contact, the Wang family has the strongest connections."
“I will beg! I will kneel down or kowtow, I will ask them for help.”
"I'll go with you."
Xia Mingshi accompanied Xia Hongfen and her niece to the Wang family. Xia Hongfen and Xia Qiumei knelt down in front of Wang Dagui with a thud.
"Village Chief Wang, please save my niece, Xia Chunmei."
"What are you doing? Get up and talk to me!" Wang Dagui's wife, Wang Zhangshi, quickly pulled him up.
Wang Fuchun asked, "Miss Xia, has something happened?"
Xia Hongfen looked around but didn't say anything.
Seeing this, Wang Dagui guessed that there were too many people and it was inconvenient for Xia Hongfen to speak, so he invited her into the house to talk.
"Village Chief Wang, this is what happened..." Xia Mingshi then told them the truth about Yao Mei being kidnapped and the letter left by the kidnapper demanding that Xia Chunmei confess. She also told them why Xia Chunmei broke off her engagement with Fan Baowen.
"It is highly likely that the Fan and Du families were behind this. We had no choice but to swallow our pride and ask Village Chief Wang, the scholar, for help."
Wang Fuming had just returned from the county town this morning, so he had heard a little about Fan Baowen and Du Lanlan's affair.
If he knew about this news, it was equivalent to the rest of the Wang family knowing it as well.
How would you like us to help?
Xia Hongfen and Xia Mingshi looked at each other, unsure how to help them.
Wang Dagui continued, "You have no evidence to prove that the Du or Fan family did it. I can't very well go to their door to demand their return, can I? Even if I did, they could just say they didn't know anything and it wasn't them, and then nobody could do anything about it. They might even sue me for slander."
If it were 100% certain that the Fan or Du family was responsible, I wouldn't mind doing my part to mediate, but now…
Xia Hongfen was so anxious that tears streamed down her face: "What should we do? Waaaaah... my poor niece."
Wang Dagui continued, "You don't need to worry too much. Miss Xia is a disciple of a master, so she should be fine. We're going to the city to buy some goods tomorrow morning, and we can ask around for you then. If it can really help, I definitely will."
Wang Dagui also admires Xia Chunmei's character and abilities. In particular, Wang Dagui wants to get to know Xia Chunmei's mentor, so he is willing to help her if he can.
"Thank you very much, Village Chief Wang. We apologize for disturbing you today." Xia Mingshi, Xia Hongfen, and Xia Xiumei left empty-handed.
For the Wang family to treat them so politely and invite them into their house, and to listen to so much from them, was already more than enough.
If it were anyone else, they wouldn't even be allowed to enter.
As soon as Xia Chunmei, Xia Xintian, and Xia Huohua entered the city, Xia Ping'an floated over. He was very excited to see Xia Chunmei.
"You've finally arrived. Yaomei has been drugged and is currently in Osmanthus Lane. You need to hurry and rescue her. The Du family knows you know kung fu, so they've arranged for eight strong men to guard her. Be careful."
Hearing this news, Xia Chunmei was immediately relieved, as long as Yaomei was not in any danger.
However, now is not the best time to rescue Yaomei.
She was, after all, alone. Yao Mei was in those people's hands. If she rushed in to save her, they might kill her in a fit of rage, which would be troublesome.
If only Xia Ping'an could steal the person out, but alas, he can only handle inanimate objects and cannot touch living things.
There were other people around, so Xia Chunmei couldn't talk to Xia Ping'an; she could only listen.
Xia Ping'an knew this too, and told Xia Chunmei everything he knew in one go.
Xia Chunmei then realized that the idea of kidnapping Yaomei and threatening Xia Chunmei to make her confess was Fan Baowen's!
Xia Chunmei was so angry she wanted to grind her teeth!
You scumbag! You'll see!
