"These two country bumpkins, they can't even be useful when given a chance, but when it comes to Song Zhaodi, they run faster than anyone else?"
She had originally wanted to find out more about the situation indirectly, but Li Chunyan and Zhao Lijuan were among the few people she had in the compound. The fact that they were acting so strangely today meant that something must have happened.
Xie Wanying's mind was in a mess, and she could only place one hand on her empty lower abdomen.
"No, if Shu Ying is really about to leave, I can't wait any longer."
She stared at the old locust tree in front of her for a long time. Neither Shu Ying nor Song Zhaodi could continue to act arrogantly here. She had to find a way to eliminate anyone who might threaten her position.
But looking at their backs, Xie Wanying still couldn't understand why they suddenly stopped talking before she could even say a few words about Song Zhaodi. Could it be that during her absence from the family compound, these two brainless idiots had also been bribed by Song Zhaodi?
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. "Are these two crazy? They can even chat with a country bumpkin like Song Zhaodi. No wonder they're both from the countryside and deserve to stay there forever."
Even if a pheasant climbs a tree one day, it will never become a phoenix. What is real is real, and what is fake is fake.
She has lived in the Xie family for so many years, and no one else is worthy of being called the Xie family's biological daughter except for her.

After a three-day, two-night train journey, they slowly arrived in the capital. Lusca and Howard were both sitting up straight.
Du Chenzhou always held onto the pocket watch in his hand, and whenever he felt his spirits were about to give out, he would look at the people in the photos.
Lusca stretched, but unfortunately the train was too crowded for him to move too freely.
"We're finally getting to our stop. If we sit any longer, my bones will fall apart."
There were many people coming and going on the train. After the train pulled into the station, you could see more things. After walking through the desolate desert, Lusca's expression finally improved.
"Yes, we can get to the troops smoothly from the capital, at least we won't have to endure such a bumpy ride on the road."
The group was exhausted, but Du Chenzhou remained silent throughout the journey, rarely engaging in conversation with them unless absolutely necessary.
"Zhou, how do we get there after we get off the train?"
Du Chenzhou was equally confused. He had no recollection of the area and had to ask around to find the direction of the troops.
He spoke fluent foreign language, stood up and prepared his schoolbag. He didn't have much luggage with him, except for two changes of clothes and a pocket watch.
"I'm not entirely sure right now, but I heard it's not far from the train station. After we get off the train, I'll ask someone for directions. If we're lucky, there might be a direct bus."
Their eyes lit up instantly. Their secret visit to China was aimed at reaching a friendly consensus and ensuring the long-term coexistence of friendship between the two countries.
The train gradually came to a stop, and many people had already collected their luggage and were waiting in line to get off at the door. Du Chenzhou's eyes darkened, and he was about to remind the two to pack their things when suddenly a group of people rushed out of the carriage and took control of Ruska and Howard without saying a word.
"We are from the railway station security department. Some people have reported that you are enemy spies and that your movements have been suspicious. To ensure the safety of the public, you need to come with us now."
There was a language barrier between the two sides, and Howard and Lusca couldn't understand what the security team was saying at all. The two of them twisted their limbs, trying to explain their identities to them.
However, it was already time to get off the train, and the carriage was crowded with people. In addition, their appearance was indeed different, which easily aroused suspicion from others. The inconvenience caused by communication further deepened people's misunderstanding of them.
"Zhou, what's going on? Weren't we told that someone would receive us when we arrived in the capital?"
The two were completely bewildered. What strange behavior had they been exhibiting? They had come all this way openly and honestly.
Du Chenzhou explained to the security personnel first, "They are my friends. I met them when I was studying abroad. These two international friends are not involved in any political issues, nor are they enemy agents. You must have made a mistake."
Liu Shang, the head of the security department, took out his identification and said, "Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, come with us and you'll find out. This is a critical time. We will never wrong any innocent person, but we also cannot let any bad person go unpunished."
Lusca pushed aside the security guard with one hand, but unfortunately he didn't have any identification on him. He tried to explain to the guard in broken Chinese.
“We’re just here on vacation. You can’t detain people like this without any reason. This isn’t a generous country. You need to have evidence before you do things.”
Howard had been on the train the whole way, and his body was already at its limit. Just when he was about to be relieved, this happened. The two men's behavior was extremely exaggerated, and the people in the carriage whispered among themselves.
Du Chenzhou wanted to explain, but the two of them didn't give him a chance. Liu Shang put away his documents and waved one hand.
"There's no need to say anything else. We'll investigate whether it's true or false, but we've received reports from the public, and you are currently the prime suspects."
Du Chenzhou wanted to try again, but no matter how he explained, Liu Shang refused to release them. Even their luggage was confiscated. He had a gloomy face and looked very embarrassed.
"Help! That child trafficker has snatched my child! What are you all standing here for? Help me find my child!"
Just as the group was at an impasse, a commotion suddenly broke out on the platform. Before Du Chenzhou could react, he heard a woman screaming in anguish.
Train stations are prone to accidents; no one knows what will happen next. The woman was crying uncontrollably, and the scene was chaotic.
Liu Shang leaned over to take a look. "What's going on?"
The woman's hair was somewhat disheveled. Upon hearing someone speak, she seemed like a drowning person grasping at a last straw.
"Comrade, you must save my child! That trafficker stole my child as soon as he got off the bus. If this child is lost, I can't live anymore. My son!"
