Xiao Yi walked out of the office with a frosty expression, knocked on two doors along the way, and asked the team members to go out with him to do some errands. Although the supplies belonged to the Zuo family, they were indeed the reserve force of the shelter. The severity of this matter was very high. Although Xiao Yi appeared very calm, his inner turmoil was not small.
If he catches which group did this, there's no question, they'll all be executed!
The Chen family wanted to go up to Xiao Yi to handle their business, but they were stopped by the Zuo family: "Sorry, Captain Xiao is a bit busy right now. Why don't you find someone else to help you with this?"
The Chen family had no choice but to retreat and obediently stand aside. They wanted to resolve their family's affairs quietly. They still had some supplies left, enough to last for three or four months, but they hadn't come to the shelter intending to live like that.
Jin Kaixiong watched as Xiao Yi and the Zuo family walked away into the distance before speaking with resentment: "Didn't you say you were in-laws? Is this how the Zuo family treats their in-laws? I doubt they even recognize who we are."
Chen Niansheng stood awkwardly to the side, unsure of what to say. Chen Ziyue, however, looked thoughtfully at the departing crowd and said, "Perhaps something serious really happened to their family? Didn't you see how solemn they all looked?"
Jin Kaixiong's heart skipped a beat, and he whispered to his wife, "Have you guessed something?"
Seeing that he understood her meaning, Chen Ziyue asked in return, "Didn't you see that they looked just as anxious as we were?"
Chen Niansheng then realized what was happening and exclaimed in surprise, "No way? That's the Zuo family, a major pillar of this refuge!"
Chen Ziyue sighed: "It's best if it's not. If it is, our situation will become even more difficult!"
On the other side, Qin Lisen watched Xiao Yi leave with his men, and his mood was also fluctuating. Last night, his granddaughter found him unconscious outside her room and immediately called for help to wake him up.
The grandmother and grandson talked for two hours. Qin Mingyue insisted that Qin Lisen go to Xiao Yi and confess, asking him to offer all the family's wealth in order to save her grandfather's life.
It wasn't that she listened to the mysterious man so much; it was because she had a sense of justice, knew she had indeed done wrong, and cared more about her grandfather's life. This mysterious man appeared out of nowhere, and in these chaotic times, she was genuinely worried about her grandfather's safety.
After talking with his granddaughter, Qin Lisen had come to accept the news that the mysterious man had told him about the death of his son and his wife.
He has mustered the courage to confess now, firstly to expose the group's plot and avenge his son, and secondly for his granddaughter's safety. He himself may die, but he cannot let his child be implicated.
Qin Lisen wanted to offer up his family fortune in order to seek refuge and ensure the safety and health of his granddaughter. As for himself, he didn't care about his life or death.
The Zuo family intercepted Xiao Yi, and Qin Lisen only stood there for a short while before leaving with his men, just to give the grandfather and grandson a little more time.
Watching the Qin family leave, Chen Niansheng couldn't help but ask his sister, "Was the Qin family's house also robbed? They lived right in front of us."
Chen Ziyue shook her head: "It doesn't seem like it. Let's not investigate them for now. Should we find other staff members? Or wait for Captain Xiao to come back?"
Jin Kaixiong and Chen Niansheng exchanged a glance, then looked back at Chen Ziyue. Chen Ziyue had no choice but to make a decision, saying, "Why don't we wait and see if there's any news from the Zuo family? It's better if we coordinate our matters with Captain Xiao."
They still care about their reputation and don't want the fact that their house was burgled to become common knowledge.
Li Ke knew nothing about what had happened in the shelter. After resting in her space, she hurried on her way, observing her surroundings to see if there were any traces of the people who had been evacuated.
She doesn't deliberately seek out these people. If she runs into them, it's her luck; if she doesn't, it's still her luck. She's just one person; she can't handle such a big matter.
After finding a village house and confirming that no one was around, Li Ke began clearing snow and digging a tunnel to the front door. He then unlocked the door and entered the building.
After tidying up the living quarters to make them look decent, Li Ke brought out all the people who were still unconscious in the space. They had been kept there for so long, it was time for them to make some final contribution.
