Upon seeing Su Xiaoning, A Liang's parents began to berate her.
"You bastards from Carp Village are all no good! How dare you kidnap my son! If anything happens to my son, I'll fight you to the death!"
Su Xiaoning already knew that A-Lian from the village had gone missing. When she heard A-Liang's parents say that their son was missing, she guessed that the two had probably eloped.
However, Ah Liang's parents' terrible attitude made her extremely unhappy.
Su Xiaoning was not to be outdone and was about to retort when the villagers of Carp Village next to her stood up for her.
"What does it have to do with Xiaoni'er that Aliang from your village is missing? Alian from our village is missing too, and we're already being lenient by not coming to you to demand her back, yet you still dare to come to our village and cause trouble!"
"That little girl is the evil god of your village! She must have ordered that slut to kidnap my son!" A-Liang's parents persisted, their eyes filled with venom as they glared at Su Xiaoning. "Indeed, an evil god is an evil god; anything that gets involved with your village will end badly!"
"What do you mean by 'evil god'? You first pretended to be gods and ghosts to scare people, and then you started smearing her after being chased away by Xiao Ni?" The villagers of Carp Village were all furious, determined to protect Su Xiao Ning and the reputation of Carp Village. "If someone goes missing, go find them. If you keep talking nonsense, don't blame us for being impolite!"
"You guys are really possessed! You even want to hit people!"
"you!"
...
The two sides argued incessantly, and eventually they actually started fighting.
Su Xiaoning wanted to say something, but everyone was so engrossed in the fight that no one paid any attention to her.
Seeing her worried expression, Su Qingcai's eyes flashed with cold light, and he flew over and forcibly separated the two groups of people with his strength.
His white robes fluttered, and just his presence in the center of the venue gave Su Xiaoning a sense of security.
Su Xiaoning breathed a sigh of relief and shouted, "Alright, stop arguing! Xiaolian and Aliang are from our two villages. They've gone missing, so we should go find them, not argue here. I promise you, I will bring them both back!"
As the war between the two villages escalated, she had no choice but to take on everything.
The people of Wanxia Village had no choice but to acquiesce. Su Xiaoning then led her people to Alian's house and carefully inspected the entire room.
"Xiaolian's shoes all look the same style. These shoes are made of good materials and look nice, but they're not suitable for walking. She didn't bring any valuables from the house either. Judging from this, she and Aliang probably haven't gone far; they're probably in one of the nearby towns."
After the search, Su Xiaoning calmly analyzed the situation. She then unfolded a map, carefully examined it, and concluded:
"The nearest town around here is Qinghe Town, and the next town is about 20 miles away. These two people definitely won't be able to leave Qinghe Town!"
Without delay, after finding the clues, Su Xiaoning hurriedly took Su Qingcai to Qinghe Town. However, Qinghe Town was quite large, and finding two people was like finding a needle in a haystack.
After running around aimlessly in several places like a headless fly and returning empty-handed, Su Xiaoning stood blankly on the street, not knowing where to look for the two missing people.
Just as I was feeling troubled, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind me.
"Su Xiaoning?"
Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoning subconsciously turned around and showed a surprised expression when she saw who it was.
—It turned out to be Ru Xing.
Upon seeing Su Xiaoning, Ru Xing's hostility vanished. She hurriedly stepped forward, lowered her head, and said shyly, "After you left last time, I kept wondering when you would come back, but each time it was just Young Master Su coming to town, I haven't seen you at all..."
Strange, isn't Ru Xing always only concerned with Su Qingcai? Why is she showing concern for her now?
Su Xiaoning was filled with doubts, but she didn't have the mind to waste words with Ru Xing at the moment. She simply said coldly, "We are looking for someone right now and don't have time to talk to you. If you see anyone suspicious, please let us know."
"Are you looking for someone? Who are you looking for?" Ru Xing asked with concern, completely ignoring the coldness in Su Xiaoning's words. "My family's restaurant has some connections in Qinghe Town. Tell me what those two people look like, and I can try to help you find them."
Unexpectedly, Ru Xing was so enthusiastic. Su Xiaoning was stunned and didn't know how to face her.
However, one more person means one more force, so Su Xiaoning told Ruxing about the elopement between the two villages and described in detail the physical characteristics of Xiaolian and Aliang.
After hearing this, Ruxing went back to the restaurant to find her father without saying a word. The restaurant owner immediately called on all the restaurants in Qinghe Town to help find her.
Many hands make light work, and within fifteen minutes, news came from a restaurant that Xiaolian and Aliang had been found!
Upon receiving the news, Su Xiaoning and Su Qingcai rushed to the restaurant and, sure enough, found the two missing people there.
She stepped forward, took Xiaolian's hand, and said seriously, "Sister Xiaolian, you should come back with me quickly. Your parents are worried sick because you've disappeared. And Brother Liang, people from Wanxia Village are looking for us. You should go back quickly so they don't worry."
Su Xiaoning tugged at Xiaolian, but to her surprise, Xiaolian burst into tears and knelt down on the ground with a thud.
"No, I can't go back! You know the situation in Carp Village and Sunset Village right now. Our parents don't approve of our relationship at all. Now we've gotten ourselves into trouble. If I go back now, I'll never have the chance to see Brother Liang again!"
Ah Liang also knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to Su Xiaoning with a series of thuds.
"Please, please let us go! I know our elopement is wrong, but we have no other choice!"
Both of them burst into tears, kneeling before Su Xiaoning and kowtowing repeatedly, leaving bloodstains on their foreheads on the rough ground.
Such a tragic scene made Su Xiaoning unable to bear to separate this ill-fated couple.
"Please don't beg me like this, I can't bear it. I want to help you, but this is a difficult situation... Let me think of what to do..."
Su Xiaoning frowned and thought for a while, when suddenly a flash of inspiration struck her.
She helped Xiaolian and Aliang up and whispered something in their ears.
...
In the afternoon, Su Xiaoning brought back Xiaolian and Aliang with a sorrowful expression. The two were lying on the stroller with white sheets covering their faces.
"When I found them, they had already committed suicide by poisoning themselves. It must have been a suicide pact. I'm so sorry..."
Upon seeing their child's "corpse" lying in the car, both sets of parents could no longer hold back and burst into tears.
