Chapter 282: Both Strange and Familiar



Inside Ye Beiping's room.

Five people were crammed into a room, but luckily there was a charcoal fire that hadn't gone out.

Because Su Xinyi was pregnant, this was all the family could afford, so they put the leftover charcoal from the night before in the room.

The faint firelight reflected inside, and the window was left cracked open.

It wasn't that cold.

Apart from Su Xinyi, who was dressed and sitting on the bed, the other four people were all gathered around the brazier.

"Who do you think Jiang Enhua did that kind of thing with at the educated youth settlement?" Ye Xiaoxin asked curiously.

The other four people shook their heads.

After returning, Hou Baolin and Ye Xiaoxin each recounted the entire incident in their own words.

This included Hou Baolin being kicked, which made Wu Di laugh for quite a while.

But they dared not make too much noise, since Tao Qiuyan was already asleep.

Wu Di didn't see it, but he offered his opinion: "Didn't Beiping just say that the two of them left separately? I'm afraid the man isn't from our village."

“Yes, Beiping. If he’s not from our village, how are we supposed to find him?” Hou Baolin stopped worrying about being kicked and became more curious about who the man was tonight.

Ye Beiping shook his head again, his head down, seemingly lost in thought.

Su Xinyi, standing next to her, was like a little girl listening to a story, not saying a word, just listening quietly.

At the same time, I was curious about who that man was.

It's full of gossip.

Seeing that Ye Beiping didn't speak, Ye Xiaoxin slapped his shoulder in annoyance: "Why don't you say something? You were the one who went, but now that you've found out, you're not saying a word."

"say what?"

Ye Beiping looked up at Ye Xiaoxin speechlessly: "I don't know today, but there will definitely be a next time. If you want to know who it is, just go and see next time."

“Yes, that’s right.” Hou Baolin and Wu Di nodded in unison.

Ye Xiaoxin couldn't wait: "Next time, when should we expose them? The longer we delay, the more dangerous it becomes. We never know when we'll be discovered."

"Yes," Hou Baolin and Wu Di said in unison again.

The atmosphere became somewhat comical, and Su Xinyi couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Haha."

Everyone looked at Su Xinyi.

Unable to bear everyone's stares, Su Xinyi could only cough twice to cover her embarrassment: "Well, now that we've figured things out, we don't need to know who the other party is. We can just bring the villagers along next time to catch them in the act."

“Yes.” This time, not only Hou Baolin and Wu Di agreed, but Ye Xiaoxin also said in unison.

Ye Beiping was speechless at the three people in front of him. He looked at Su Xinyi with affection, as if to say: My wife is so smart.

After discussing a few details, Ye Beiping sent the other three away.

For the next few days, Hou Baolin and Wu Di staked out Ye Sheng's house every night, but they didn't see Jiang Enhua come out again.

During the day, a few children deliberately found excuses to play near Ye Sheng's house. When they were scolded, they threw stones at Ye Sheng's house, which made Ye Sheng increasingly angry these past few days.

However, no contact was found between Jiang Enhua and the strange man.

This puzzled Hou Baolin and Wu Di, who even asked Ye Beiping about it. To their surprise, Ye Beiping replied, "Hunters need more patience than their prey. If tigers and lions were like you, they would probably starve to death."

Reluctantly, the two of them, along with Ye Xiaoxin, also joined the stakeout mission.

I don't know if Ye Xiaoxin was just lucky, or if it's because the New Year is coming soon.

On the eve of Lunar New Year's Eve, they once again watched Jiang Enhua quietly leave the house.

Seeing this, Ye Xiaoxin immediately sent Wu Di to deliver a message to Ye Beiping.

Looking at his legs and stomach, Wu Di wanted to ask to be replaced, but found that Hou Baolin and Ye Xiaoxin had already caught up, so he had no choice but to go to Ye Beiping.

Ye Beiping, like a hunter, has been staying in the room with Su Xinyi for the past few days, going to bed very late, waiting for news from Hou Baolin and Wu Di.

Because Su Xinyi was asleep, Ye Beiping immediately ran out when he heard a noise in the yard.

So as not to disturb Tao Qiuyan and Su Xinyi's sleep.

Upon seeing Wu Di appear, panting heavily, he grabbed him without saying a word and rushed towards the educated youth settlement.

Unable to contain himself any longer, Wu Di plopped down on the ground and went on strike: "You're making me run around, but I can't see anything. I really can't run anymore, I'm not going."

Helpless, Ye Beiping could only whisper in Wu Di's ear:

"Then go and inform your dad and Uncle Hou, and also call Ye Sheng over. We need to stall for time, otherwise if they run away, all the effort we put in for the past few nights of freezing will be for nothing."

Upon hearing this, Wu Di, remembering the suffering he had endured these past few days, could only immediately get up and take action.

Just kidding, it even snowed these past few days. Although there's no snow accumulation, it's freezing cold at night. We can't just give up on this mission like this.

Seeing Wu Di get up, Ye Beiping ran straight to the educated youth settlement.

Quietly walking to the large rock next to the educated youth settlement, I found Ye Xiaoxin and Hou Baolin already there.

"How is the situation?"

Ye Xiaoxin whispered, "We've already gone inside, but we didn't see who the man was, so we don't dare get too close."

"Hmm, that man seemed to be carrying a bunch of things, but he seemed to be walking with a limp." Hou Baolin was a bit bolder than Ye Xiaoxin; he peeked out when the man entered the educated youth settlement.

But Ye Xiaoxin pulled her back, otherwise she would have seen even more.

"Okay." Ye Beiping nodded and glanced behind him: "I can only hope that Fatty can call someone over as soon as possible."
