Chapter 332: A Step Late



Blacksmith Li opened the door, but he didn't expect that the person outside was not Li Tieniu, but Meng Qingyin.

"Xiao Meng, why are you here?" He couldn't hide his surprise.

Meng Qingyin asked anxiously, "Uncle Li, where is Brother Tieniu? Is he still home?"

Blacksmith Li was confused. "He left around 10 o'clock last night. Not long after you left, he suddenly told me that the client was pressing for work and he couldn't wait until today, so he left last night."

"Left last night?!" Meng Qingyin didn't expect that she was still late. "Didn't you say you would leave this morning?"

"Did he tell me where the amusement park is located?" Meng Qingyin asked again.

Blacksmith Li shook his head: "No, I rarely ask about their engineering team's affairs."

Seeing Meng Qingyin's frown, he instinctively felt that something had happened, "What's wrong, Xiao Meng? Oh, right, didn't Tie Niu say he would send you a message to let you know he was safe when he got there? It's been a whole night, and he still hasn't sent you a message?"

Meng Qingyin glanced at the chat messages.

Li Tieniu did not send her any message to let her know that he was safe.

Of course, she didn't receive any response to the message she sent.

"Uncle Li, don't worry. Brother Tieniu might be too busy to send a message."

Blacksmith Li grabbed her arm, his expression serious. "Xiao Meng, I want to know the truth. What happened to Tie Niu?"

Meng Qingyin was silent for a moment, and finally told the truth: "I suspect that Brother Tieniu is now under someone's control."

Blacksmith Li was anxious: "Is he being controlled by someone? Tie Niu has a simple and honest personality and never makes enemies. Who would control him?"

Meng Qingyin patiently told him about Chen Jinliang and Zhou Xing's collusion in harming animals.

"I suspect that building an amusement park is just a cover. Their real purpose is to rebuild a secret base for cruelty to animals." Meng Qingyin said slowly.

After all, they had already burned down their former base, so they would definitely find a way to build a new secret base.

"If he knew the truth, Tie Niu would definitely not agree to them." Blacksmith Li said firmly.

Meng Qingyin sighed: "Master, Brother Tieniu is not the only one in the engineering team..."

Blacksmith Li paused, "You mean, others will agree to this for their own benefit?"

Meng Qingyin: "I don't know the temperaments of the other people in the engineering team, but this situation is possible."

After all, in the face of absolute interests, how many people can remain true to themselves?

"And... even if they all keep their original intentions, they are all under someone's control. Zhou Xing will definitely use their safety to threaten Brother Tie Niu. So, no matter what they think, the result will probably be the same." Meng Qingyin added.

Blacksmith Li sighed, "Those people are even more hateful than poachers."

Meng Qingyin: "Master, do you know which direction Brother Tieniu left from?"

Blacksmith Li raised his hand and pointed to the right front of the road. "That's the road."

Meng Qingyin: "There's no time to lose. I'll chase them now and see if I can find them."

Blacksmith Li frowned. "You're going alone? That's too dangerous. I can't let a little girl like you take that risk. Besides, it's already been a whole night. I'm afraid you won't be able to catch them. There are so many forks in the road. How do you know which way they're going?"

Meng Qingyin suddenly asked, "Master, what kind of car are Brother Tieniu and the others driving?"

Blacksmith Li was stunned for a moment, then he recalled carefully and said, "It was a heavy truck, carrying a lot of equipment."

Meng Qingyin: "Heavy trucks are inherently heavy, and coupled with the equipment they're pulling, they're bound to leave some tracks on the road. Plus, they left late at night, when there were almost no other vehicles on the road. We should be able to catch up by following those tracks."

Blacksmith Li was excited, "Then I'll go with you."

Meng Qingyin patted his hand to comfort him, "Master, you have more important things to do."

Blacksmith Li was surprised. "What's the matter?"

Meng Qingyin: "Do you know anyone in Tieniu's engineering team?"

Blacksmith Li: "I know most of them. I watched them grow up."

Meng Qingyin: "Master, go to their home now and ask their family members to see if you can find any other clues."

Brother Tie Niu has never been good at interpersonal relationships. How did Zhou Xing and his gang contact him?

She now suspects that someone in the engineering team facilitated this deal, or perhaps someone else with ulterior motives facilitated this through someone in the engineering team.

But no matter what the situation is, there will always be some clues left.

She and her master worked from two directions and were able to track Brother Tie Niu's whereabouts more quickly.

Blacksmith Li nodded and warned with a worried look on his face, "Xiao Meng, you must be careful. If you encounter a difficult situation, protect yourself first. I can't let you get hurt because of Tie Niu."

Meng Qingyin said, "Don't worry, Master. I will bring Brother Tieniu back safely."

After saying that, she jumped on the train and it quickly disappeared on the road.

Blacksmith Li also locked the door and walked quickly into the village.

Meng Qingyin sent a message in the small group, saying that she had something to do today and would not go to the tower to brush it.

It was still early and no one in the group responded.

Meng Qingyin didn't care about these and focused her attention on the road ahead.

When the train reached the first fork in the road, Meng Qingyin got off to check the road conditions.

With the help of the bright headlights, she saw a friction mark left by a car tire on the road. The mark was obviously left by a large truck, and there were no other indentations on it.

This should be the trace left by Li Tieniu's heavy truck.

Meng Qingyin got in the car and directed Little Ai Elf to continue driving to the left front.

Sitting in the driver's seat, Meng Qingyin's expression was filled with anxiety.

The car was already driving at maximum speed, but she still felt that the road was extremely long.

Suddenly, there was a message in the group.

Chen Leying: "@Meng Meng, what happened?"

Meng Qingyin explained the matter briefly.

Chen Leying did not reply to the message.

A moment later, she saw a black SUV appear behind the train in the rearview mirror.

At the same time, news came from Chen Leying: "We failed to catch all those people last time. This time, we can't let them escape again."
