"How could that be?" Xiao Bo's wife snatched the pastries away. "I was just joking."
Liu Su'e couldn't help but roll her eyes, but she didn't take it to heart.
Leaving the Lin family home, Le Yao sighed, thinking that she would go back and ask about adoption. Even though she was poor, raising a child would definitely not be a problem. As for education... she could learn.
After all, with uncles and aunts like that around, they would never treat the child well.
Not far from leaving Hetao Village, an SUV came towards us.
Because the road was narrow, Han Xiangdong moved the donkey cart to the side to let the car pass first.
Le Yao had only glanced at it casually, but suddenly frowned because she recognized the person inside—Yan Zimeng's assistant, He Feng.
He Feng glanced at her, but because Le Yao was afraid of the sun, she covered her head and face with a large scarf. Even people who knew her well might not recognize her at a glance, let alone He Feng who didn't know her very well. So, she just glanced at her and then passed by.
After the car passed, Han Xiangdong continued driving the donkey cart back.
"Wait a minute," Le Yao called out to Han Xiangdong.
"What's wrong?" Han Xiangdong quickly reined in the donkey.
"Sister Qing and Brother Bin, you two go back and see what that woman is up to." Le Yao glanced at Yuan Bin and Tao Qing.
"Tao Qing, you stay here, I'll go." Yuan Bin said, jumping off the donkey cart without even asking why he was doing this.
"Be careful not to let her find out."
Yuan Bin nodded, then chased after the SUV back.
Han Xiangdong drove the donkey cart forward for a while, stopped under a big tree, and then turned to look at his sister: "Was there something wrong with the people in that cart just now?"
Le Yao nodded. Now she was certain that Yan Zimeng was the mastermind behind the car accident. However, she had sent He Feng here to find the Lin family. So what was the purpose of her seeking out the Lin family?
Seeing that his sister didn't seem to want to say anything more, Han Xiangdong stopped asking.
About an hour later, Yuan Bin returned: "She did go to the Lin family." He took out his phone and showed Le Yao the photos he had taken. "She probably reached some kind of agreement with that Xiao Bo's wife..."
In the photo, He Feng gave Xiao Bo's wife something; although it wasn't very clear, it was recognizable as a check.
Le Yao nodded: "Let's go."
"Didn't you do anything else?" Tao Qing glanced at Yuan Bin.
“Do you think I can refuse?” Yuan Bin raised an eyebrow slightly. “I put a listening device in her car…” He tapped his phone as he spoke, and soon a voice came through. It was He Feng’s voice, clearly talking on the phone.
"Sister Yan, everything's settled, don't worry. Okay, I'll head back now..."
Then the car radio started playing music.
Le Yao breathed a sigh of relief. Based on just this one sentence in the recording, it was impossible to determine anything. However, there was no rush. They could take it slow.
The donkey cart chugged along.
Just as Yuan Bin was about to turn off the listening in because he felt there was no useful information, He Feng suddenly screamed from the phone, followed by various clattering sounds, and then a burst of noise...
He Feng is in trouble.
Le Yao's face turned pale instantly, but she hurriedly pulled Han Xiangdong: "Brother, hurry up and go take a look. Brother Bin, use the navigation."
