The land for Su Shizhong's house had not yet been approved, and Zhou Sheng's men quietly took Zhou Xinran away in the middle of the night.
Jiang Huaidong saw Zhou Xinran go to the restroom and waited for a long time without her returning. He couldn't help but feel suspicious and quickly got up to go out and look for her.
Seeing the door wide open, he was taken aback at first, a hint of unease flashing across his face. Then he quickly ran towards the outhouse, anxiously peering inside, but saw no one.
He shouted frantically to his mother, "Mother, get up and look for her! Xinran is missing!"
After shouting, he didn't dare to delay for a moment and rushed out into the darkness.
At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind: Zhou Xinran had run away, how could he ever recover? He had to catch up with her no matter what.
He wants to go back, and so does he.
Suddenly, a dazzling bolt of lightning streaked across the dark sky, followed by a deafening clap of thunder.
Fu Shen heard the thunder, opened his eyes, and looked at Su Yue, who was sleeping soundly beside him. Seeing that she was breathing steadily and had not been awakened, he gently lifted the quilt, afraid of making any noise to wake her.
Upon exiting the room, he saw Su Shizhong already quietly waiting for him in the courtyard.
Su Shizhong crossed his arms, looked up at the sky, and smiled meaningfully. "The wind is picking up."
Fu Shen also looked up at the sky. In the light of the lightning, the thick clouds appeared a somber, oppressive black.
Su Shizhong withdrew his gaze, looked at Fu Shen, and asked, "Are you sure they've taken the person?"
Fu Shen nodded.
Su Shizhong said anxiously, "Then let's hurry up and leave, or we'll miss the exciting scenes."
Deep down, he was filled with worry, fearing that the huge mousetrap he and Fu Shen had set up might not be able to catch Jiang Huaidong's foot, so he was eager to "help out".
Jiang Huaidong was extremely anxious at the thought that the car Zhou Sheng had sent to pick up Zhou Xinran was likely waiting at the village entrance, and his pace quickened unconsciously.
He figured Zhou Xinran was heavily pregnant and wouldn't be able to move around quickly.
But if the other party has a car, even if I run myself ragged, I still can't catch up.
With that thought in mind, he gritted his teeth and decided that the only way to reach the village entrance faster was to take a shortcut.
Fu Shen and Su Shizhong quietly approached the area where they had prepared the rat trap, and heard Jiang Huaidong's heart-wrenching, agonizing screams coming from afar.
The two stopped at the same time and exchanged a knowing glance.
Su Shizhong's face showed a satisfied expression, and he said in a low voice, "I got it."
Fu Shen listened carefully and replied confidently, "Judging from the sound, it should be."
Jiang's mother, who rushed over, could only hear her son's painful cries echoing in the darkness, but could not see his figure.
She paced back and forth anxiously, her voice filled with panic and worry, shouting, "Huaidong, where are you? Huaidong, what's wrong with you?"
Jiang Huaidong heard his mother's voice and wanted to respond, but the intense pain prevented him from speaking.
At this moment, his left foot was tightly clamped by the iron clamp, and his right hand was not spared either.
His hand wouldn't have been caught, but the moment his foot was caught, he fell to the ground in excruciating pain, and in the struggle, his right hand was also caught.
Finally, Jiang's mother forced herself to calm down and tried hard to discern the direction from which Jiang Huaidong's voice was coming.
After roughly pinpointing his location, she stumbled over and saw Jiang Huaidong's hands and feet tightly clamped by huge iron clamps. Her face turned deathly pale, and she almost lost her balance.
Her voice trembled as she cried out, "Huaidong, how did you step on the metal trap? What should we do?"
These two metal clamps were the largest kind; she simply couldn't remove them with her strength.
