Xue Qianyu also escaped the net.
Huo Junhao: I'm so weak, innocent, and accidentally hurt by my teammates. I'm so pitiful, sob sob...
Seeing the two of them come ashore, Meng Meng could only pull Huo Junhao, who was still in the net, towards the shore. Then he faced a double attack from Lu Zheng and Xue Qianyu.
"Sigh, two hundred and fifteen, why isn't it two hundred and fifty?" Gu Nian sighed.
"Huo Junhao, you idiot! You're holding Brother Meng back! Go get on him!" Gu Si shouted.
Huo Junhao: Sisi is so cruel! I'm soaked to the bone, and she's still scolding me!
"The green hills remain unchanged, the clear waters flow on, I will definitely come back! You two brats, just you wait!" Meng Meng couldn't take on two at once, so he seized the opportunity and slipped away.
"Brother Meng! Me! Me! Take me to the manor!" Huo Junhao cried out desperately, he didn't want to spend any more time with these two tonight.
"Brother Hao, bear with it, I'll help you get revenge someday!" Meng Meng disappeared completely.
Lu Zheng, fidgeting with his fingers, walked step by step toward Huo Junhao: "Kid, where's the fish?"
Xue Qianyu made the same move as Huo Junhao: "If there's no fish, steam him like a fish!"
"Wah!" Huo Junhao burst into tears.
He struggled to get out of the net, grabbing a long leg with each arm: "Brothers, you are all my brothers, my own brothers. From now on, you are my eldest brother, you are my second brother! Waaah, my brothers are hungry, and as their younger brother, I am willing to be their prey. Please, brothers, steam me!"
Lu Zheng and Xue Qianyu: ...
The Gu sisters: ...
They have such thick skin.
Huo Junhao was not steamed after all. However, that night he chopped enough firewood for Lu Zheng's kitchen to last for half a month, muttering to himself, and no one knew what he was saying.
...
On the ninth day of the sixth lunar month, the newly appointed Magistrate of Taoyuan County, Lord Yan, personally visited the Gu family to see Gu Shouxin.
He was dressed in plain clothes and only brought a servant with him. They talked for a while in the pavilion at the corner of the long corridor by the lotus pond in the second house before he left.
The Gu sisters couldn't hear what they were saying, but for some reason they felt that Lord Yan was reporting to his superiors, even though he wasn't like this last time!
Gu Nian was incredibly impressed with his father. How long had it taken for him to win over the county magistrate? It seemed he was willing to be his subordinate!
After everyone left, Gu Nian and Gu Xin ran over to ask what had happened.
Gu Shouxin called Gu Hui and Gu Si over as well: "The two sorcerers who took Renren away earlier were robbed on their way to the capital. Then the government officials caught the robbers and followed the clues to find the mastermind. Can you guess who it is?"
Gu Xin reacted quickly: "Dad, are they from the Jiang family?"
Gu Shouxin nodded: "That's right. Because the Jiang family doesn't belong to Qingzhou Prefecture, this case hasn't been finalized yet. However, Lord He will handle it, and the Jiang family can't escape. On the surface, they're in the timber business, but secretly they're involved in human trafficking. They often abduct people from the south to the north and people from the north to the south. They have many methods, and they also take advantage of adults not paying attention or children being alone on the street. They also use the promise of changing one's fate to deceive people, like Renren did this time."
Gu Si: "Second Uncle, did you already guess this and remind Lord Yan?"
Gu Shouxin nodded: "I always thought it wasn't that simple, because Renren is just like any other child. Apart from being a little fair-skinned and chubby, he doesn't have any other outstanding features. It's not worth using a method to change fate to deceive a baby. So, I mentioned it to Lord Yan."
