Ling Xiao was still gathering people when he saw Wang Xiaofa rushing over. He asked in surprise, "What happened again?"
Wang Xiaofa then told Ling Xiao what had happened, and then glanced behind him and said, "They didn't follow us; they must have gone after Sister Xing."
Ling Xiao inquired about the location carefully and was immediately alarmed: "Oh no, that place is a dead end. If she goes there, she will definitely be blocked and won't be able to escape."
After saying that, Ling Xiao didn't say another word and led his men out.
Wang Xiaofa originally wanted to tell them not to worry, because his sister Xing could really hurt when she beat people, and he had experienced it firsthand. Unfortunately, he didn't have time, so he could only follow closely behind.
Ling Xiao was worried that something might go wrong, but when he arrived at the place with his men, he was dumbfounded.
The two men had been knocked down and were lying motionless on the ground. It was unclear whether they were dead or not. Xing Zhaozhao sat down on one of their backs and rested.
Seeing Ling Xiao and the others arrive, Xing Zhaozhao stood up, clapped her hands, and said, "You're here? You came pretty fast."
Ling Xiao pointed incredulously at the two men lying on the ground and asked, "Did you do this?"
Xing Zhaozhao nodded: "My husband was in the army and learned a few moves from him. Plus, you've seen me before. I'm also a bit stronger, so dealing with two of them shouldn't be a problem."
This doesn't seem like a forced effort!
The thoughts flashed through Ling Xiao's mind at the same time, and when they saw Xing Zhaozhao coming towards them, they couldn't help but subconsciously take a step back in vigilance.
Wang Xiaofa walked forward, panting, with a smug look on his face: "I wanted to tell you guys a long time ago, don't worry, but who knew you ran too fast and didn't make it in time. My sister Xing is really amazing. Someone like me, she can take on seven or eight at once."
Lingxiao's men sized Wang Xiaofa up and down, then all breathed a sigh of relief. Seven or eight like that? That was still within acceptable limits.
Wang Xiaofa was displeased: "What were those looks you were giving me? Are you looking down on me?"
Nobody paid him any attention.
Ling Xiao walked up to Xing Zhaozhao and looked down at the two men on the ground: "These are the two who were following you? Who are they?"
Xing Zhaozhao pointed to the shorter one: "He said his name is Yao Dazhuang, the older brother of Yao Xiaozhuang who tricked Fu Lan before. He should be a mountain dweller. I didn't hear the other one speak, so I don't know who he is. According to Yao Dazhuang, Lin Wan sent them. I had a bit of a grudge with Lin Wan before. She knew I came to Qingxi Town, and she probably wanted to take this opportunity to kidnap me into the mountains."
Ling Xiao's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Mountain dwellers? It's a good thing to catch one." As for Lin Wan, as long as she is still in Qingxi Town, she definitely won't be able to escape.
Ling Xiao beckoned for someone to come over and help him turn the two men lying on the ground over.
The two men's faces had been beaten into pig heads, and it was hard to look at them. Fortunately, you could still barely make out their original appearance.
Ling Xiao only glanced at Yao Dazhuang and didn't pay much attention to him. However, when his gaze fell on the other man's face, his expression immediately changed.
"Isn't this Xiao Sanzi? Master Ling." Ling Xiao's men exclaimed softly from the side.
"You two know each other?" Xing Zhaozhao looked at Ling Xiao in surprise and asked.
Ling Xiao's expression was rather unpleasant: "My people."
Xing Zhaozhao raised an eyebrow slightly. That's right. If those mountain people really wanted to do something in Qingxi Town, in theory, they wouldn't be able to escape the eyes of Ling Xiao, who was the local strongman. But the problem now is that Ling Xiao is unaware of it, so the problem could be big or small.
Xing Zhaozhao wisely kept quiet.
Ling Xiao pondered for a moment, then ordered, "Send them all to the Public Security Brigade."
Ling Xiao's men were startled: "Even Xiao Sanzi is with us?"
Ling Xiao nodded: "Mm."
"What if the police find out something..." Ling Xiao's men were a little worried.
"Then let them investigate," Ling Xiao said. Not only would the public security brigade investigate, but he would also investigate himself. Although there was one mistress, there was definitely more than one. He wanted to see what other scoundrels dared to do such a despicable and unscrupulous thing. Every family has two daughters.
Ling Xiao's men nodded, then called two more people who dragged the two men away together.
Ling Xiao looked at Xing Zhaozhao and said, "This matter is likely to escalate quickly and won't be resolved anytime soon. I suggest you go back and wait for news."
Xing Zhaozhao thought for a moment and said, "Anyway, it's still early. I want to wait and see how things go."
Ling Xiao respected her wishes, nodded, and said, "If you need anything, you can come to me directly."
"Okay." Xing Zhaozhao didn't stand on ceremony with him.
Ling Xiao was about to leave when he remembered something, hesitated for a moment, and looked at Xing Zhaozhao apologetically, saying, "I'm afraid I can't find the time to go to the hospital right now. If possible, could you please look after Xiao Ze for me?"
Without a second thought, Xing Zhaozhao smiled and nodded in agreement: "Of course, I also need to go back to the hospital to wait for someone."
"Thanks," Ling Xiao said gratefully. "If there's any news from the public security brigade, I'll have someone go to the hospital to let you know."
Xing Zhaozhao was more than happy to oblige: "Then I'll have to trouble you."
After parting ways with Ling Xiao, Xing Zhaozhao took Wang Xiaofa back to the hospital. Gao Qingshan and Gao Dahan had not yet returned and were probably still looking for someone outside. However, they encountered Fu Hong helping Grandma Fu, who had already woken up, out of the hospital.
When Fu Hong saw Xing Zhaozhao, she immediately went up to her and asked, "Where have you been? I've been looking all over but haven't found you."
"Where else could we go? Of course, we're going to help you find your sister." Wang Xiaofa looked down on the Fu family and said irritably.
Grandma Fu was dissatisfied with Wang Xiaofa's attitude, her face darkened, and she was about to lash out again when Fu Hong stopped her.
Fu Hong smiled shyly at Xing Zhaozhao, looking at her expectantly, and asked, "You're back so soon, is there any news?"
Xing Zhaozhao nodded and told Fu Hong about the two people they had just caught: "They've been sent to the Public Security Bureau. They should be handling the case. We can't help much for now. If you want to find out any information, you can contact the Public Security Bureau."
Grandma Fu's eyes immediately lit up, and she eagerly pulled Fu Hong along, saying, "Quick, Xiao Hong, let's go to the Public Security Bureau!"
"I understand," Fu Hong replied, but instead of leaving immediately, she looked at Xing Zhaozhao gratefully and said, "Thank you."
Xing Zhaozhao shook her head and said, "No need to be polite, I did it just for Fu Lan."
Fu Hong's voice choked, and she asked, "Do you think Xiao Lan will be able to come back safely?"
Xing Zhaozhao nodded emphatically: "Yes, I can." This time it will definitely work.
Fu Hong's eyes welled up with tears. She thanked Xing Zhaozhao again before leaving with her grandmother.
The Qingxi Town Public Security Brigade took this incident very seriously. After receiving the two people sent by Ling Xiao, they not only arrested Lin Wan, who was waiting to see Xing Zhaozhao suffer, but also reported it to their superiors and requested assistance in the investigation. Around dusk, two military vehicles from the nearby troops arrived, fully loaded with armed soldiers, and entered the mountains.
Gao Qingshan and Gao Dahan had been searching all day and were exhausted when they returned to the hospital to find Xing Zhaozhao. They happened to run into her, not knowing what was going on. When they arrived at the hospital and saw Xing Zhaozhao, they asked her about it and then realized what had happened.
Gao Qingshan was overjoyed: "The soldiers have all arrived, Xiaolan will definitely be rescued soon, right?"
Xing Zhaozhao smiled and nodded: "Yes, we can definitely save them."
It was getting late, and they should have gone home, but when Gao Qingshan saw this situation, he became unhappy and wanted to wait a little longer.
Xing Zhaozhao discussed it with Da Han and decided that they couldn't leave him here alone, so they decided to stay another night and go back tomorrow.
