"Director Zhao, please contact the higher-ups first and have them block the road. Especially be careful of people with ox carts, donkey carts, or women around. If you have any news, contact me by telegram."
"Zhao Yuan, follow me and lead the men to search in several groups." Lu Yuanting gave the orders.
"Everyone in the village, please ask your acquaintances in the neighboring villages, or look around the village to see if anyone saw anyone coming to the village in the afternoon, or if any car passed by and died. Sorry for bothering you all." Lu Yuanting said.
After listening to Lu Yuanting's words, everyone did not delay any longer and did as Lu Yuanting said. If they were a little late, Jiang Xia would be in greater danger.
Song Yanyan listened to the conversation of the crowd with flickering eyes. She glanced at the dirt road at the end of the village with some confusion in her eyes and bit her lip.
She knew where the traffickers' ox cart had gone. When she came back, there were no new traces on the dirt road, so she could clearly see where the ox cart had gone.
She knew it, but she was not sure whether to say it. She had never thought that things would develop to such a serious level and involve so many people. If she said it, then everyone would know that it was her who caused Jiang Xia to be captured by human traffickers.
Song Yanyan was thinking, when she suddenly felt a pair of eyes falling on her.
It’s Lu Yuanting.
Song Yanyan's panic and confusion were too obvious. She obviously knew something, but seemed hesitant whether to speak or not. Her face was pale, as if she saw Lu Yuanting, whom she liked every day, walking towards her. Song Yanyan subconsciously took a step back.
"Song Yanyan, what do you know?" Lu Yuanting spoke, his voice full of coldness. Seeing Song Yanyan's panic, he stepped forward step by step, without any sympathy for her, just wanting Song Yanyan to tell him something.
"I..." Song Yanyan was a little frightened by Lu Yuanting's look, especially when she thought of how Lu Yuanting had just tried to kill Wang Fuhai, she became even more worried and scared.
She was afraid that after Lu Yuanting knew about it, he would no longer want to care about her.
"She seemed to have come to the end of the village in the afternoon!" A voice spoke from the crowd, pointing at Song Yanyan. Before, they had been far away and had not seen Song Yanyan's face clearly, but now that they could see Song Yanyan's face clearly from close, they remembered this matter.
"Brother Yuanting, I... I do know one thing. I came here in the afternoon. There was a fresh mark of a bullock cart passing by on the dirt road. I also saw Jiang Xia's hair band on the ground." Song Yanyan spoke haltingly.
"Then why didn't you say it before?" Lu Yuanting's eyes turned cold when he heard Song Yanyan's words.
"I... I didn't know this would happen. I've always lived in the city. Who knew the countryside was so chaotic and that human traffickers would come to the village to kidnap people? I thought... I thought Jiang Xia's hairband fell out of her pocket when she went out." Song Yanyan's eyes turned red with fear at Lu Yuanting's cold tone.
After saying this, she pointed to the dirt road at the end of the village.
His hand trembled, and he finally made a choice and pointed in a direction.
"At that time I saw that the new oxcart wheel was going that way."
Song Yanyan pointed in the opposite direction of what she saw.
